pretty generally, that Jesus Christ has at
least been silent, or that he he has not per-
sonally spoken on the subject of slavery.
Once for all, / deny it. Paul, after stating
that slave was to honor an unbelieving
master, In the 1st verse of the 9Th chapter,
says, in the ID verse, that to believing
master, he is the rather to do service, be-
cause he who partakes of the bnnefit is his

otherwise, Gas all Abolitionists then did,
and now do, and consent not to whole
some words, g even the words of our Lord
Jesus Christ" Now, if our Lord Jesus
Christ uttered such words, how dare we
say ho has been silent? If he has been
silent, how dare the Apostle say these are

THE MECHANIC HERO
OF BRANDYwINE

Near Dilworth Corner, at the time of
the Revolution, there stood a quiet cottage,
somewhat retired from the road, under the
shade of stout chestnut tree. 1t was a
quiet cottage, nesting away there in one
corner of the forest road. dear home in
the wilderness, with sloping roof, walls
of dark grey stone, and easement hidden
among vines and flowers.
Here at the time Of the Revolution
there dwelt stout blacksmith, his young
wife and her babe. What cared that black
smith, working away there in that shad-
owy nook of the forest. for war? What
feared he for the peril of the time, so long
as his strong arm. ringing that hammer on
the anvil, might gain bread for his wife and
child2
All, he cared little for war. he took little
note Of the panic that shook the valley
when some few mornings before the battle
of Brandvwine, while shoeing the horse of
Tory Refugee, he overheard plot for
the surprise and capture of Washington.
The American leader was to be lured into
the tolls of the Tories; his person once in
the British camp, the English General
might send the Is Traitor Washington ,
home, to be tried in London.
Now our blacksmith working away there
IN that dim nook of the forest, withou,
caring for battle or war, had still a sneak
ing kindness for his Mister Washington,
whose name rung on the lips of all men.
So one night, bidding his young wife a
hasty goodbye, and Kissing a babe that
reposed on her bosom, smiling as it slept,
he hurried away to the American camp,
and told his story to Washington.
1t was morning ere he came back. II
was in the dimness of autumnal mornine
that the blacksmith was plodding his way
along the forest road. Some few PAGES
ahead there was an aged oak, standing ou,
into the road-a grim old veteran of the
forest, that had stood the shocks of three
hundred years. Right beyond that OAK
was the blacksmith's home.
With this thought warming his heart,
he hurried ON. He hurried on, thinking
OF the calm young face and mild blue eyes

century, farmer was compelled to suffer
the extreme penalty of the law, for cow
stealing. His wife called to see him a
few days previous to his execution, to take
last farewell, and asked him
"My dear, would you like the children
to see you executed 3"
"No." replied he, "what must they come
for 2"
"That's just like you," said the wife,

At last, when the battle was over, he
was found by wagner, who had at least
shouldered a cart whip In his country's SER
vice-he was found setting by the road
side, his head sunken, his leg broken-the
life blood yelling from his many wounds.
The wagner would have CARED him
from the field, but the stout blacksmith re-
fused.
"You see, neighbor," said he, in that
voice husky with death, 81 never meddled
with the British till they burned my home,
tell they "-he could not speak the outrage,
but his wife, his child, were there before
his dying eyes" and now I've but five
minutes life in me, I'd like to give a shot
at the British afore | die. Dye see that
cherry tree Dye think ye could drag

thar; give me a powder, horn, three rifle
balls and good rife-that's all I ask"
The wagner granted hjc request; he
lifted him to the foot of the cherry tree !;
he placed the rifle, the balls and the pow
der horn in his grasp.
Then whipping his horse through .he
narrow pass, from the summit of neigh
boring height, he looked down upon the
last scene Of the blacksmith's life.
There lay the stout man at the foot of
the cherry tree, his head sunk, his broken
leg hanging over the roadside bank. The
blood was streaming from his wounds-he
was dying.
Suddenly he raised his head sound
struck on his ears. A party of British
came rushing along the narrow road, mad
with carnage and thirsting for blood. They
pursued a scattered band of Continentals
An officer led the way, waving them on
with his sword.
The blacksmith loaded his rifle; with
that eye bright with death he took aim.

he fired. The officer lay quivering in the
dust. On and on came the British, nearer
and nearer to the cherry tree, the Continen.
tails swept through the pass. Again the
blacksmith loaded-again fired. That's
for Mad Antony Wayne!'' he shouted, as
another officer bit the sod.
The British now came rushing to the
cherry tree, determined to cut down the
wounded man, who, with his face towards
them, bleeding as he was dealt death among
their ranks. a fair-visaged officer, with
golden hair waving in the wind, led them
onward.
The blacksmith raised his rife with
sudden shrek.
"And that" cried the blacksmith, in q
voice that strengthened into shout, "ano

His voice was gone. The shrek dice

burned on the morning Of the 18th ult3

show it to have been the work of an In

as neutral journal, but during the last
canvass in this State, it threw off its neu.

Messrs. Rumble & MurrelI, have lost their
all, but have issued a circular announcing
their determination to revive the paper,
and calling upon their old subscribers to
to again furnish them with their name

of those gentlemen. and hope that they
will be entirely successful in the -es-
