conceived the idea of turning his straight
coat and broad trimmed beaver to account
He addressed him thus:
Young man, the news you have impaired
to me is of the greatest Importance for which
in the name of the American cause thank
you and your venerable grand parent has
conferred favor upon us that cannot be fully
appreciated at present, for which will thank
her in person. But, young man, you have
risked your life almost too far, to be faithful
to the trust conhded to you. From this day
forward you are free and in order that you
may pass and repass without molestation you
shall always be furnished with the pass word
of the army, to be used by you with such
discretion as you may deem prudent"
Joshua thanked the General for his kind
ness and Washington motioned the guard to
leave the room, and then proceeded:
Probably it will be great acquisition to
the cause to have such man in our employ
as you are. In these perilous times there are
great many things that you can do to pro-
mote the cause of freedom. If you are will
ling will make such arrangements as will
place you beyond arrest while in our army,
and provide for your support. The service
desire you to perform will require great
deal Of sagacity and nerve, but perceive you
have the nerve sufficiently for my purpose
consequently, if you see proper to enter our
service, we will, no doubt, be under many
obligations to you. Your pay will not be
much, for the funds of the government are
so low that extraordinary means have to be
used to get the ordinary necessaries of lite."
Joshua listened, with marked attention, to
the man who had just saved his life, and who
proposed to employ him in the army. When
he concluded, the young man assented to the
proposition on condition that he might have
an opportunity to return to Delaware and
visit his friends before he should enter upon
duty. This was agreed upon. While Joshua
and Washington were thus making arrange
ments for their future operations, Fanny en-
tered the apartment attended by William
few minutes more and Joshua related all
that had occurred and gave her to understand
that now he was engaged to serve the cause
in various ways and would be required to ac-
company the army. This new arrangement
did not suit Fanny's notion of things and she
objected and descanted upon the perils he had
just undergone, and how near he was losing
his life but Joshua had made up his mind
to enter the service Of Washington and no

project. In an hour our friends were on theiI
way to Wilmington enjoying pleasant con-
versation.

CHAPTER vi.

The day before Christmas, 1T76, let us over
take couple of pedestrians on the road that
leads towards Trenton from the south and lis
ten to their conversation. One of them is
none other than our friend Joshua Way, and
the other, an officer OF the British army that
was encamped near by. The officer, little
loquacious as well as inquisitive, was doing
the principal part Of the talking, while the
young Quaker, with ears open, was drinking
in every word. The officer proceeded:
elbow strong do you suppose the rebel
army to be-"
Joshua thought it might consist of about
four thousand men, who were poorly clad,
nothing to eat, and ready to desert at any
time. The officer, anxious to have good news
to communicate to his superior, inquired:
"When did you say Washington was going
to evacuate Philadelphia and march to the
interior of Pennsylvania ~
"To-morrow, replied Joshua.
"Well, then" unused the officer, I'VE will
let the gentleman retire without fight it is
great deal the easiest way to capture city,
to wait until the enemy leaves and then march
in; it makes bloodless victory, which is a
great deal more palatable than to have to run
the risk of being shot"
Joshua listened to the oficer's solilOquy
without taking any apparent notice Of what
he said and as soon as an opportunity offered
continued to enlighten his companion upon
the state nf affairs in and about philadelphia

Where the wild rose spread its bloom,
And the silv'ry moon was shining bright
O'er the lone and silent tomb.

Smiles sweetly o'er thy dwelling,

OF joy in thy bosom swelling.
The dew-drop tears shall water thy bed,
And garland thy grave with flowers
The strangers heart shall envy the dead
That sleep in these fairy bowers.

CHAPTER v.
rAvNY's INTERVIEW WITH WASHINGTON.

FANNY y INTERVIEW WITH WAshINoIoN'
The day was just dawning when delicate
girl, leaning upon the arm of soldier, was
seen moving with hurried gait along Mar
ket street. At short distances, small groups
of soldiers might have been seen either en-
gagged in conversation or marching to and fro
before a mansion that might perhaps contain
munitions of war or be the temporary domicil
of some officer of the army. As the pedes-
trians- hurried by the soldiers they tipped
their hats, but the travellers passed unmo-
Tested. Arriving in the front OF house of
genteel appearance, before which number
of soldiers were congregated, the soldier
paused moment and gave the countersign ;
the guard presented arms and our friends en-
tered very neat parlor fronting on the street.
The Commander-in-c Chief of the American ar
my was seated before ar old-fashioned tea
table. Although the sun had not risen, yet
