lie raises his glittcring rife to his eye
looking from beneath the bushy eyebrow
and fixed upon the distant foeman-he
raises his riae he aims at the star on the
heart-he fires. The wood rings with
the sound--the Britisher has taken the
measure of his grave.
And thus speeding along from tree to
rock from the fence to the secure ambush
of the buckwheat field speeding along
with his silent footsteps, and his keen eve
ever on the watch, the bold riheman heeds
not the battle raging in the valley below:
he cares not for the noise. the roar Of
canon. the mechanical march of the drill
ed columns: he cares for naught but his
iown true rife, that bears death in every
ball; that shrieks death knell at every
| fire. A freeman was the old riAeman. =
His home was the wild wood, his compan.
ions the beasts Of the ravine. the glen
and the birds Of the cliff; his friend true
and unfailing. was his rifle, and his ioy
was to wander along the lone pathway Of
the wilderness, to track the Indian to his
lcamp6re, the panther to his lair.
A freeman was the old riAeman. Al
the close of the days hard chase, what
king so happy as he? He seats himself
on the green sward, at the foot Of the an.
cient oak, in the depths Of the eternal
woods, while the setting sunbeams fling
their lines Of gold athwart the messy car
lpet, and between the quivering leaves OF
the twilight foliage.
He rears the booth Of forest branches
with its walls and roof of leaves, he
spreads his couch Of buffalo robes. and
then gathering the limbs Of decayed trees
he lights his fire. and the rosy CLEANS
flares over the darkening woods, a sign
Of home built in the wilderness.
The victim Of the days chase, the gal
liant deer. is then dragged to the fire side
diyest Of his skin, and anon the savory
tsteak suakeSSn the blaze, and the tret
HERMIT oil the woods, the jolly old back
woodsman. rubs his bony hands with glee
and chuckles with all hunters delight
| Such were the men that thronged the
woods and peopled the solitudes Of this
our glorious land Of the New World, II
the year of grace, SEVENTY Skin tht
year of Freedom-One. To this class
belong the captors of. Andre, who refused
fortune. rather than aid the enemy OF
| Washington. Such were the men whom
the British were sent to conquer; such
were the men who knew nothing of pretty
uniforms, mechanical drills, or regular
lines Of march, whom the stout red.coa
were to annihilate.
Let US be just to their memories
While we honor Paulding. Williams and

THE CHILD'S PRAYER.

A few weeks since, in coming down the
North River. was seated in the cabin of
the magnificent steamer Isaac Newton, in
conversation with some friends. 1t was
becoming late in the evening. and one af-
teranotler seeking repose from the cares
and tolls Of the day, made preparations to
their berths. Some pulling off their boots
and coats lay themselves down to rest;
others in the attempt to make it seem as
much as possible like home, threw off
more Of their clothing each one as their
comfort or apprehension of danger dicta.
ted.
/ had noticed on deck a fine looking
boy, about six years of age, following
around man, evidently his father whose
appearance indicated him to be foreign
.er, probably German man Of modi
um height and respectable appearance =
The child was unusually fair and fine
looking, handsomely featured, with an In
telligent and afectionate expression of
countenance, and from his cap fell clus-
stering chestnut curls.
/ After walking about the cabin for o
time, the father and sen stopped within
a few feet of where we were seated, and
began preparations for going to bed. |
watched them. fa
The father adjusted and arranged the
bed the child was to occupy, which was
an upper berth, while the little fellow
was undressing. Having finished this,
his father tied handkerchief around his
head to protect his curls, which lookei
as if the sunlight from his young happy
heart always rested there. This done, |
looked Tor him to seek his resting place;
but instead Of this. he quietly kneeled
down upon the floor. put his little hands
together, so beautifully, child like. and
simple resting his arm on the lower berth
against which he knelt, he began his YES.
per prayer.
Thetather sat down by his side and
awaited the conclusion. 1t was long
prayer, but we'll understood / could
hear the murmuring of his sweet voice,
but could not distinguish the words he
spoke. There were men around him
Christian men retiring to rest without
sufficient courage or plety to kneel down
IN steamboats, cabin, and before stran.

gers acknowledge the goodnass of God or
ask his protecting love.
This was the training of some pious
mother Where was she now? How
many times had her kind hand been laid
on his sunny locks as she taught bin his
prayersl
A beautiful sight it was that child at
prayer in the midst of the busy, thought,
less throng. He alone of this. worldly
multitude draws nigh to Heaven. / think
the parental love that taught him to lisp
his evening prayer whethor far off or
nigh. could scarce refrain from weep
ing then, nor can now, as / see again
that sweet child in the crowded tumult Of
a steamboat cabin bending in devotion to
bis Maker.
But little while before. saw crowd
of admiring listeners gathering about =
company Of Italian singers in the upper
saloon-composed Of mother and two
sons, with voice and harp, and violin; but
no one needed, no one cared for the child
at prayer.
When the little boy had finished his,
evening prayer, he arose and kissed his
father affectionately, who put him into his
berth to rest for the night fell: strong
desire to speak to them, but deferred Is
till morning. When morning came, the
confusion of landing prevenled me from
seeing them again. But if ever | meet
that child in his declining years, Ill
thank him for the influence and example
of that nights devotion, and bless the
mother who taught him.
Scarcely any passing incident Of my
lie ever made deeper impression on my
mind. | went to my room, and thanked
God that had witnessed it, and for its
influence on my heart. Who prays on
steamboat? Who teaches their children
to pray even at home?
