LIFE FOR LIFE.
A SKETCH OF THE REVOLUTION.

"Father, is there no hope for him? Is
the British General so heartless as to con-
denim one so noble, so brave, so very young,
todie without the least mercy"
These words were used by pale, tear
full girl of great, beauty, in the middle por-
tion of the Revolution which gave freedom
a home on our own lovely soil. During
that period when cruelty was but too pre-
valent with both parties-when tories,
American born, were, if possible, more re-
lentless and cruel than the British troops.
The father, noble looking man of mid
die age, turned glance out of the window
which opens towards Long Island Sound,
the green waters of which could be seen
sparkling beyond grove that fronted his
dwelling near Hurl Gate. He turned to
this to hide from her his emotions, for she
was his only child, and he feared that her
Young heart would break when he told her
all the sad news that lay so heavily on his
heart.
"Speak, father; tell me is there no hope?
/ will go myself, and, kneeling to the ty-
rant, will plead for the life of him whom 1
love as only woman can loves" she con-
tinued.
"Alas! my child, mercy is dead within
the British Generals breast-his heart is
callous to pity! 1 have risked much by
pleading for him, but for your sake, would
be almost willing to die in Nathan's place."
sCruel cruel fate! When is be TO die
There may be some hope of his rescue. He
is a favorite with Washington, and he is at
White Plains. 1 will 60 to himr'
"Alas! dear childs nerve yourself for the
news. Il is already too latep'
"Dead, DEAD!" shrieked the poof girl
"Oh! father, rather say that is not sol"
aAlas, my child cannot! He was
hanged at sunrise, and was even refused a
Bible to look al ere he was summoned to
the presence of his Maker!'
For moment the poor girl stood silent;
not tear came from her eyes; but wild
light Illuminated them, flash as bright as
Hre itself gathered over both face and brow
she clenehed her fair hands together un-
til the nails seemed to enter the flesh, and
with cold bitter tone, she cried
'LIFE FOR LIFE! | shall be reyenged
yes, deeply revengedp
"Chlld, dear child, be calm," said the
fond parent.
'Father, ! am calm-very calm! Calm
as HE is, almost. But I swear that he
shall be revenged, if my own hand has to
reach the tyrant's heart that sealed his
doom Iloyed oh! how loved bim-and
were not our betrothal vows plightedg 7
will act as widow-as the widow Of n
soldier should act"
"My dear child, you will bring ruin upon
our headsw
"Not upon your head, father; but to NE
what is ruin now! But | will not be rash,
1 will 60 to my room, and pray and think
of him who lays cold in DEATH"
She turned and left the room, whilst
the father stood looking out upon the wa
ters, which were dashed with a rising
storm, and the trees, which already began
to writhe beneath the force of the rising
gale, like some huge giants wrestling with
some unforeseen power.
Meanwhile his daughter had gone up to
her room in one Of the cheerful gables of

A San C.LAM1ry-We learn from In

A SAD CALAMIrY.-We learn from the
Chicago Times that sad calamity occur
red near Peoria on Friday last An en-
ployee of the Rock Island Railroad had re-
ceived $50, the accumulation of his wages.
On Friday, he was absent from home, and
his wife having occasion to go to neigh
bors, a: short distance, locked the house
up, and left in it there three children, one
an infant the others about four and six
years old. In her absence the house took
fire, how, it has not been ascertained, and
and was burned to the ground with all its
contents. Furniture, money and the win
ter's stock Of provisions were all consumed
by the devouring element; and saddest of
all, the three little children perished mis-
erably in the flames. The house being in
lonely spot their piercing shrieks went
up unheaded amid the cracking of the
blazing timbers around them, and their
charred and half consumed remains were
the only evidence of their awful fate.

- --s From the Lexington Gazette.
aIF YOU'RE COMING,
why DON'T YOu Come alOng.,,


Twas in field-by an old field shool.
Where the boys were romping wild,
/ noted one, with shining face,
And he was but child:
And as he romped upon the green.
With mind and music strong,
Anon he'd cry to the tagging boys,
why don't you come along?"
So said the boy when he spoke.
The man was in that boy,
And now his voice round Christendom,
Rings like bell ofjoy;
For the world has taken up his cry,
i And joined him in his song,
Now sung by nation in their march:
- "Why don't you ccme alongf'
Come on. pause not, It's death TO stop.
The tide is at its food;
For men and things are on their march
Halt never, ifyou would,
That cry is in the hearts Of men,
Their wath-word, right or wrong;
And nations cry in every tongue:
H why don't you come along?"
The engine and the telegraph
Prolaim it to the man
The man takes up the cheering cry
Which with the boy began.
Der wood and plain--o'er sea and earth.
It rings in startling song;
'Tis written on the armament:
why don't you come aiong3"
But yesterday it took six men
To make pin; but now
That little boy viii do the work;
Z When done he'll scarce know how.
Thclght follows action-then we pause
To think: no longer strong;
But still keep up the school-boyis cry
why don't you come along?"
But yesterday the reaper's hook
Moved slowly through the grain;
Machinery now, with storm of hooks.
The harvest sweeps amain;
And as it cuts, and cleans, and bags.
1t joins the worldwide song;
Old fogie reapers, tarry not
"Why don't you come along?"
'FRONT.' march, halt not is now the word
To the regiment of men;
Say what you have to say at once
Col do it if you can
Birds sing 1.-THE engines Shrek it;
It'ssung the stars among
All nature breathes the worlds great cry:
why don't you come along?"

THE HUsKERs.
BY JOHN C. WHITTIER.

Heap high the farmers wintry haordi
Heap high the Golden Cornl
Nor richer gift has Autumn poured
From out her lavish horn.
Let other lands exulting CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy green.
The cluster from the yine:-
We better live the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer US when the storm shall drift
Our harvest fields with snow.
When spring-time with flower and bud,
And grasses green and young,
And merry bob links, in the wood,
Like mad musicians sung.
We dropped the seed o'er hill and plain.
Beneath the sun of May,
And frighten from onr sprouting grain
The robber-crows away.
ALI through the long bright days of June,
Its leaves grew thin and fair,
And waved in hat mid noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with Autumn's s moonlit ewes,
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves.
And bear the treasure home.
There, richer than the fabled gift
Of golden showers of old,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift,
And knead its meal of gold.
Let wiped idlers loll in silk
Around their costly board
Give US the bowl of samp and milk,
By homespun beauty poured.
Where er the wild old kitchen hearth
Sends up its smoky curls,
Who will not thank the kindly earth,
And bless our eorn-feii girlsl
Let earth withhold her goodly root.
Let mildcw blight the rye,
Give TO the worm the orchards fruit,
The wheat-6eld to the fly:
But let the good old corn adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us for His Golden Corn
Send up our thanks to Godi
