BISHOP LATIMER ON HOOPS.

FL I warrant you there was many a
Jolly damsel at that time in Bethlehem,
yet amongst them all there was no one
found that would humble herself so
much as once to go and see poor Ma
ry in the stable and to comfort her,.
No, no; they were too fine to take so
much pains. i warrant you they had
their bracelets and vardingals, and
were trimmed with all manner Of fine
and costly raiment, like as there be
many nowadays amongst us who
study nothing else but devise fine raj
|ment; and, in the mean season, they
suffered poor Mary to lie in the stable;
that is to say, the poor people Of God
they suffered to perish for lack Of nec-
essaries. But what was her swad-
|dling clothes wherein she laid the King
Of heaven and earth?- No doubt It
was poor gear, aperadventure it was
her 'kerchief, which she took from her
head, or such like gear, for I think she
had not much fine linen, she was no,
trimmed up as our women be nova,
days for in the old time women were
content with honest and single gar
ments. Now they have found out
these roundabouts---they were not in.

cunning as to make such gear, he
found it out afterwards. Therefore,

LAWNS AND. GRAvEL-wALKs.

The grassrplots and lawns in gar
dens generally have melancholy ap-
pearance at this time of the year. In
some places they are rough with worm
cast, and in others bare from the shade
Of trees. or the constant passing of
feet. Laying down fresh sods is the
usual remedy but it is very trouble
some, and soAentimes affords only .
temporary relief The best way OF re-
novating grass-plot is, therefore, not
to lay down fresh turf or sods, but to
SOW. few seeds ) and to render these
more efectual the surface should be
scratched over with an iron rake, be-
fore the seeds are down, and rolled af:
terwards.. Dutch clover, and what
are called mixed ,grass-seedsy are the
best; and the thinner the seeds are
sown, so as to cover the ground, the
more likely they are to come up
When dug ground is to be sown with
grass.seeds, SO as to make ! grass. plo,
without laying down sods, the proper
ton may be about Eve bushels to an
acre. Gravcl-walks, at this season
are also apt to look poor and neglect
ed and they should be either relaid
entirely with fresh gravel, or they may
be stirred, and thin layer Of grave
laid on the top, and afterwards firmly
rolled. When the gravel is loose, i,
ought to be mixed with gravel Of Al
adhesive nature.

Early this morning there were ad-

"we're going to have . wedding, and

ALRIGHT, sir" he replied, laughingly,
and we stepped into the ladies' cabin,
when, sure enough, the couple stood
waiting. There had been some "kis-

riages gone through with during the
evening, and l supposed that this was
merely a continuation of the sport; and
so thought the "preachcr," who, /

THE MAIDEN AND TIE HERO.

sage from Gen. Green to Count Pulas-
ki, noble Po]sDder, who took .
prominent part in our struggle for
freedom. He was quartered in neat
frame house, near the upper FORTS
After our business was finished, the
Count asked me to take some refresh
ments, aud ut the same time called
out
Mary! my lass, Mary!
In an instant . roee-cheeked girl
entered, her face beaming with joy, it
would seem, at the very sound Of Pa-
laskis voice.
Did you call me, count !? said the
maiden timidiy.
How often have told you, my little
love, said he, not to call me Count,
call me, dear Pulaski. This is Re-
public, my little favorite we have no
Counts you know.
But you are 3 Count, sir, when at
home, and they say you came a long
way over the ocean, to 6ght for US.
Yes Mary, very true-1 did come
long way-the reason was, I had to.
Now, can you get this gentleman and
myself little refreshment He has
long way to ride tonight.
Certainly, sir and she went out Of
the room like fairy.
Fine, pleasant girl, said Pulaski
would that I had the wealth / once
had; / would give her portion that
would send the youth hcreabout after
her sweet face. .--s...,-
On the morning of the eleventh of
September, 1777, the British army ad-
vanced in full force to Chadd's Ford,
for the purpose Of crossing Brandy
wine Greek, and bringing on an action
with Washington. Sir William Howe
drove Maxwelps division across the
creek, by ten o'clock, at one Of tho
lower fords.
The Hessian General, Knyphausen,
with large force, advanced upon the
creek, and uniting with Lord Corn
wallis, who commanded the left wing
Of the army, crossed at the upper ford
of the river and creek. It so hap
'pened that, during the raging of the
conflict, carrying orders, l passed i'm
mediately in the direction of Pulas-
ki's quarters, that I visited the night
before: Suddenly a sheet of flames
burst forth the house was on fire.,
Near the door-steps lay the body Of
Mary, her head cut open by a sabre,
and her brains oozing out Of the terri
bic wound. l had been there but half
a minute, when General Pulaski, 1t
the head Of = troop of cavalry, gal
loped rapidly to the house. Never
shall I forget the expression of his
face, as he shouted like demon, on
seeing the inanimate form Of Mary:
Who did this?
A little boy that had not before been
noticed, who was lying amid the grass
with his leg dreadfa]ly mangled, said:
There they go!
He pointed to a company Of Hes
slams, then some distance off.
R1GHT-wHEEL-MKS, CHARGE!
And they DID CHARGE. l do not
think that one man Of that Hessian
corps ever left that field, except to be
placed in the grave.
