MRS MAGARET MARTIN, ninety-eight years
OF age, who was recently on a visit To her
grandson in Troy, New York, was present
at the battle of Saratoga. She is one of the
remarkable women Of the Revolution, who
took part in the memorable occurrences Of the
struggle for American independence. Her
husband, Gilbert Martin, was a sergeant In
the army of Gates, and was engaged in the
battle of Saratoga. Mrs. Martin, then a very
young woman, was on the field during both
struggles constituting this battle, and termi-
mating IN the defeat Of the splendid army
which Burgoyne had transported with such
immense labor and expense from Canada, con
fdently anticipating that he would be able
with it to divide the army of the patriots and
secure SIR Henry Clinton in possession Of the
southern line of defences
Mrs. Martin represents the struggle as most
terrific. She says that towards evening when
Burgoyne, maddened by the consciousness th at
all has splendid schemes were about to be de-
fcated, directed his whole reserve and cavalry
upon the feebly army of the patriots, the con
testantsstOOd within half musket range of each
other, and poured in their deadly volleys,
while whole files on either side fell in their
tracks, and still neither gave one inch.
Towards evening, Mr.. Martin was wounded
in the shoulder, and while his wife was ia the
act of athxing bandage, she herself was
wounded IN the hand. She says, - Gilbert
sprang like an infurated lion. Peggy, said
he, III go and teach those cowardly dogs
better manners than to shoot a woman, and
L saw him no more till the fight was over"
Of such material were the men and women
Of the Revolution
We can readily imsgine that the field Of
Saratoga was a strange place for those of the
" softer sex" Mrs. Martin, however, has
evidently been a woman Of uncommon euer-
gy of character. Her frame still exhibits
evidence of strength, and her eyes sparkles as
she recOunts the deeds of that day, or speaks
of that coward Gates, who stayed safe and
sound all day in his tent, and cared not for
the men who were falling like sheaves in the
harvest"

WATER LAWYER AND WATER DIVINE -
The late Vice Chancellor of England, Sir
LancelOtte Shadwell, was rs indefatigabe a
bather as the monk noticed by Bebe. Every
morning throughout the year, during his resi-
dsnce at Barnes Elms, he might be seen wrest-
ling JoyOusly with the Thames. 1t is said that
on one occasion, party in ugent need of an
INDUCTION, after looking for the judge in a
hundred places where he was not to be found,
at length took boat and encountered him as be
was swimming in the river There he is said
to have heard the case, listening 10 the details
as the astonished applicants read them, and
now and then performing frOlicsome " sum
mersault," when they paused for want of
breath. The injunction was granted, it is said;
after which the applicants left the Judge To
continue his favorite aquatic sports by himself.
If the late amiable and able Vice Chan
celor was water lawyer, so was the Arch
deacon Singleton a water divine. When tutor
to the young Lords Percy, he and the eldest
of the sons of the then Duke Of Northumber-
land, Hugh, Earl Percy, being expert swim
mers, and often, by their achievements, ex-
cited the admiration of less daring adyen-
turers. The Arc hdeacon was accustomed to
float away for miles from Sion, depending
upon the tide to dOat him back again. At
first, many IbOatman looked inquiringly at
the motionless body floating on with the stream;
but when he was better known, his appear
ance thus excited no more surprise than If he
had been an OQt-rigger, csmly taking q pull
before the hour of dinner.

AN ADDRESS .r

To tAs TAuty-fosrth Congress--Ftrst Session.
Ye men Of wisdom, now in Congress met
Under a weary life TO groan end sweat
To be, or not to be, that Is the question;
From North or South, or blasted with iRfection.
'Twere Dobler In the mind to cease this strife
Nor die, nor sleep, but give the nation life;
Or take up arms. receive your country's thanks,
And, by opposing, end these idle prants.
Be men once more stand by the Constitution,
And show the native hue Of resolution;
Not sicklied o'er with the pale cast Of thought,
But enterprises Of great moment sought.
This sad cilamity's Of too long rife
The message teens with wrongs, war to the knife.
Better to shuttle off this mortal coil
Than have the country In domestic broil:
Aye, there's the rub, pause ere its too late,
Elect Speaker and redeem the State.
Against discussion ever to rebel,
Fana;icism from the scene eXpel,
For Greeley and his clique, be this their doom:
quick consignment to oblivion's tomb
Nor North, nor South, nor East, nor West for me
But one grand compact for the brave aud free
To hold, as 'rwere, the mir or up to nature,
And peace and plenty reign III rough all future.

REFREsHINGLY CooL.-A copductor on a
New England road was sent for by the Presi-
dent or Superintendent Of the road one day,
and rather summarily informed that after that
week the company would not require bis SER
vices. lie asked who was to be his successor,
and the name was given him. He then asked
why he was to be removed. After pressing
the question some time, and failing to obtain
satisfactory explanation, little light dawned
upon him, and he addressed his superior nearly
as follows: "You are about making q great
mistake, sir, a great mistake. You know, sir,
have a nice house, a fast horse, a splendid
gold watch, and an elegant diamond ring
That fetkoscyou haze chosen 10 take my place

the argument was conclusive, and the con-
ductor was allowed to retain his position.
