William, says he. But yon've lost Dr. War rcn,' says l. and that's ss bad as being beat 50 pretty much every body thought--the poor dear Doctor He'd only his Majors warrant q couple of days, and that was the end of it.. But Congress built monnyMcnt to him right after the war;
 didn't tell the widow Saxbury that Con- gross had ouly resolved . monulnent to Var Ten, without touching to build it, for believe 1t would have killed her on the spot, ght off the reel.
 s' Now you can See, Ztkiel Jones, whether tho women did any thing or suffered any thing in the revolutionary war; says she You eau guess whether what Eve told you about the trouble I had with Mir. Saz bury, and the ,watchings, and the starving, made us Hesoll- tiouary patriots, or not But it's no use talk ing any more about it. William, do you take down that gum
 Bill he got np with pretty considerable alac rty, and went to the ruanteltrec piece. It wasn't that he didn't like to hear these things as well as any body, for Bill is true son of q revolutionary father, and he kept the cuff of his coat in pretty middng good play, while his mother was talking. But Bill was afraid it wonid overcome her too much, and he Was more than half right He was long time 'fumbling over the mantel piece, and by ans! ny he takes something down, and brings it to Fanny, and puts it in her hand with his bet tcrmost Low. couldn't see nobody blush, for it was getting dusky, and Fanny she walked to tfe window with it. I followed naturally, and if it wasn't the beautifnlest cor sct bone that ever yoh see. all whittlcd out of white wl,alebone. On ono side there was pie tured out. mermaid with long scaly tail. co,nbing her head with comb bigger than the head was. On the other side Bll had cast out an anchor, with cable aud ship fastened to 1t, not so big as the anchor Lord, didn't Fanny blush. and Bill he gfinncd as shcepish as if he had been stealing something. Seeing it's you sa. S Fanny, says she, Mir. Arbucklr I'll take it, but never use such a thing
 Use what says the old lady, squeang away, why, you littleminx, you've got so much of board on now, that it sticks out :, < Gorrydcmption !! If Fanny's eycs didn't sparkle, and if she didu't b:te her lips ! said inst nothing at all, but took it out of her hand where she was rapping her fingers with it, and put 1t into my pocket for her. By this time, Bill had got down the gun, and was taking off the green bag He brought the gun to the window, and mother Saxbury, for wonder she never opened her lips. After he got the bag off, there was another cloth tied round, and when he'd taken that eff, tEere was the breach of the gun split open from the end, up to the lock, just little crack which Bill bore open with his fingers to show us. Just on the edges there was some blood and hair clotted on, that stuck in the crevice, and had been saved mp there for moro than half century. Don't thnt tell how hard it was to drive them ficm Banker H l "--!ou't it?
 Mother says William as le tied it up, how long since this parccn' was taken off before 2 She never answered, and says Bill says he, thought she'd talk herself to sleep, for she always does
 Fanny put on her things, and We went to sbid tue old woman good bye. Her hund was just as cold as ice, and screamed right out. Bill he pulled foot for doctor, and in five minutes he was there, long with Aunt Sally, who always watches the doctors door, and cuts ana runs when he goes, if she can contrive up any excuse Tho folks put her to bed, and I stood watching till Aunt Sally come teeter- jug out, as large as live since she'd got somc- thing to do, all to herself, and none of the rest of the old women there to bother her.
 :" Is she dangerous 2" says I.
 "Oh no," says Aunt Sally, <" but you'd bet. ter go hone, and tell tho folks sha ut he back till morning. sfF
 Wlnt is the matter 7" says |. Why you wouldn't know if l told you,n said tho darned old maid, making a great mys. tery; so you'd better go, and Fanny too.s
 We didn't wait to be told twice and as Bill too said there was no immediate danger we walked right off If didn't joke Fanny about that busk last evening, and her old sailor beau, and how Aunt Sally would cut her out from him, staying there all night, it's no matter.
