The Spirit of Revolutionary Times.

A good old lady-we knew her when she had
grown old--in 1875 lived on the seabord, about
days march from Boston, where the British
army then was. BY some unaccountable acct
dent rumor was spread in town and country,
in and about there, that the regulars were on a
march for that place, and would probably arrive
in three hours at tarthest. This was after the
battle of Lexington, and all, as might be sup
posed, was in sad contuson-Some boiling with
rage and full Of fight, some hiding their treas
ures and others flying for life. In this wild mo-
ment, when most people, in some way or other,
were frightened from their property, our heroine,
who had two sons, one about 10 years OF age,
the other about 16, was seen by our informant
preparing them to discharge their duty. The
eldest she was able to equip in fine style; she
took her husbands towing piece, made for
duck or plover,' and with the powder horn and
shot bag; but the lad thinking the duck and
goose shot not quite the size to kill regulars his
mother took IA chsel, cut up her pewter spoons,
hammered them into slugs, and put them into
his bag, and he set off in great earnest, but
though he would call one moment and see the
parson, who said, Well done, my brave boy
God preserve you-and on he went in the way
of his duty. The youngest was importunate for
his equipments, but his mother could find moth
ing to arm him with but an old rusty sword
The boy seemed rather unwilling to risk him
self with this alone, but fingered in the street,
in state Of hesitation, when his mother thus
uphraided him You john H., what will your
father say if he hears that child of his is afraid
to meet the British? Go along, beg or borrow
a gun or you will fin one, child. Some COW
ard I dare say, will be running away then
take his gun and march forward, and if / hear
YOU have not behaved like a man, | shall carry
the blush of shame on my face to the grave. :
She then shut the door, wiped the tear from her
eye. and waited the issue. The boy Joined the
march. Such woman could not have towards
for her sons. Instances of refined and delicate
pride and affection occurred atthat period every
day in different places; and in fact this dispo-
siton and feeling were then so common thas 1t
now operates as one great cause OF our not nav
ing more acts of this kind recorded. What few
there are remembered should not be lost Moth
ing great or glorious was ever achieved which
women did not act in, advise or consent to-

AS to the dinner, it is perfectly delightful
nothing goes wrong, and everybody is in the
best way of spirits, and disposed to please ant

account Of the purchase of the turkey, with q
slight depression relative to the purchase ofpre
| Yious turkeys on former Christmas-days, which
grandmamma corroborates i'll the minutest par

| poultry, and takes wine, and jokes with the chill
dren at the side ts5ble, and winks to the cousins
that are making love, or being made love to,
and exhilarates everybody with his good humor
and hospitality; and when at last stout ser
want staggers IN with gigantic pudding with a
sprig of holIoy in the p,there is such laugh
ing, and shouting, and capping of little chubby
hands, and kicking up of fat dumpy legs as can
only be equalled by tbeapplause with which the
astonishing feat of pouring lighted brandy into
mince-pies, is received by the younger visitors.
Then the dessert land the wine land the
fun Such beautiful speeches, and such songs
from aunt Margaret husband, who turns out to
be such a nice man, and so attentive to grand
mamma Even grandpapa not only sings his an

a new one which nobody but grandmamma had
ever heard before; and young scape grace of
cousin, who has been in some disgrace with
the old people foF certain heinous sins Of omis-

persisting in drinking Burton ale--astomsheS
everybody into commissions Of laughter by vol

Washington Cor. Philadelphia Press
No greater outrage has ever been perpetrated
upon tie Southern chivaly than HE capture,
bv the officers of the United States Navy, Of
those disting uished statesmen, john Slidetl and
Jar-es n. Mason The idea that Two men who
have welded so much power IN the South, and
have contributed so much 10 the overthrow OF
the regular Government of the United States,
should be captured by the vulgar yankees,
will shock the tender sensiblilties OF the whole
Confedeiacy. If there are any jewels among
the secession statesmen, these jewels are SLdeli
and Mason. They represent the whole theory
of the ingratitude Of slavery. SlldeH, born IN
North and married in the South, has devoted
more than forty years OF his life to an attack
uDon Northern men ard Northern institutions;
and Mason, who has subsisted upon the money
which he married in Philadelphia, seems to have
had no other purpose but 70 tfaduce the city
that has supplied TO him the means Of living
Both were on their way to Europe tOr the pur-
pose of securing foreign aid to enable jefferson
Davis successfully to conduct his crusade
AGAINST the Republic. AS | write they are on
their way to Fort Warren, in Boston harbor.-
1t is defiicult 10 imagine their feeling as they
contemplate the difference between their com
ing quarters, and the expected fcliclties, pre-
vious 10 their capture, with all the gaities Of
Paris in view In the solitary confinement that
awaits them they can contemplate the many
wrongs they have heaped upon Northern men.
1t IS to be Eopcd that none Of the age"ts cfHiese
prominent trajtorS acW be aL0aoed to appIoacA
the pubIic authorities in 0rder to inducc their re-
tease. If they had reached Washington on Sat
urday evening it would have required great de-
termination on the part Of General Mcclellan to
restrain popular uprising against them. Mr..
Shdell was present at Richmond when some OF
the political prisoners were sent into that city,
and exhibited the utmost ferocity and intoler-
ance, and in at least Que case persuaded Gen
eral Beaurcgard to enforce the most offensive
treatment.

Ode-Autuarl N.

SAW old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like senece, listening
To silence; for no lonely bird would sing
into his hollow from woods foriorn
Nor lowy hedge nor solitary thorn
Shaking his languid locks all dewey bright
With tangled gossamer that fell by night,
Fearing his coronet of golden corn.
Where are the songs of Summer? With the-sun
Op'ning the dusky eyeds of the South,
Till shade and silence waken up one,
And Morning sings with a warm odvrous mouth.
Where are the merry birds? Away, away,
On painting wings through the Indictment skies,
Lest Owls should prey
UndaZzied at noon day,
And tear with horny beaks their lustrous eyes.
Where are the blooms of summer? In the West,
Blushng their last to the last sunny hours,
When the mild Eve by sudden Night is prest,
Like fearful Proserpine, snatched from her flowers
To a most gloomy breast.
Where is the prime Of Summertime green prime,
The many, many leaves all twinkling? Three
On the messed elm; three on the naked lime
Irembling-and one upon the old oak tree
Where is the Dryad'S immortality?
Gone into mournful cypress and dark yew,
Or wearing, the long, gloomy winter through,
In the smooth hoys green eternity.
The squirrel gloats on his accomplished hoard.
The ants have trimmed their gamers with ripe grain
And honey bees have stored
The sweets of summer in their luscious cells;
The swallows have all winged across the main;
But here Autumn melancholy dWells,
And signs her fearful spells
Amongst the senseless shadows Of tue plain.
Alone, alone,
Upon messy stone
She sits and recE ons up the dead and gone,
With the last leayes for a love-rosary,
Whilst all the withered world looks drearily,
Like dim picture of the drowned past
In the hushed minds mysterious far-away,
Doubtful what ghostly thing will steal the last
Into that distance, gray upon the gray
0 go and sit with her, and be o'ershaded
Under the languid downfall Of her hair
She wears coronal of flowers faded
Upon her forehead, and a face of care
There is enough of wjthered everywhere
To make her bower, and enough of gloom;
There is enough of sadness to inS1te,
If Only for the rose that died-whose doom
Is Beauty's she that with the living bloom
OF conscious cheeks most beauties the light:
There is enough of Borrowing and quite
Enough of bitter fruits the earth doth bear
Enough of chilly drippDgs for her bowl;
Enough of fear and sbadowy despair
To frame her cloudy prison for the soul.

It's proposed to send portion of our pris-
oncrs Of war to Fl Mackinac.- Washington
Dispatch.
A good idea The climate is excellent, sur
roundings good, and everything will tend to
cool that ardor Of the brain out Of which has
sprung Secession. No better location can be Sc
lected in the country. They cannot get away,
once there, and few effective troops would
keep in order quite penal colony. The only
objection we can think Of is that the poor In
dian has suffered enough from vicious associa-
tons, and it is too bad to turn in upon him, in
addition to all the bad company we have made
him keep, the bad disciples Of JEFF. Davis. The
rumor comes from reliable source, and it is in
deed likely that select party OF Secesh wlll

must they come, even to those at the foot of

Am Odd Fish.

There was a very odd fish in P Paris in the
summer of 1855. He came from somewhere or
our western frontier and crossed over from New
York to Havre in the North Star. He dressed
in complete suit of furs and during the voyage
slept on deck every night. He appeared to be
very intelligent man, had plenty of money,
but was remarkably eccentric. In Paris he went
TO Meurice's hotel, where he soon became the
wonder of the crowd of cockneys who frequent
that house. Standing in the centre of the court
yard land describing around him a magic circle of
tobacco Juice ,he would tell the most marvellous
stories, with a look which said plainly, you
had better not express any doubts if you do not
want to take bowie knife between your ribs. "
The cockneys were at complete loss what to
make of him. highly cultivated friend Of
mine who had accidentally made his acqCaint.

ing him to take a walk. Now if our late Japan
csc visitors We're to appear in the street of Pa
lis, hardly any one would turn around to look
at them, so accustomed are the people to all
kinds of foreign costumes. But the big back
woodsman in his furs proved an exception to
this rule, and my friend soon perceived that
they were attracting more attention than was
altogether agreeable to his modesty. After
time they arrived at the cathedral Of Notre
Dame, which they entered. AS soon as they
got in, the frontiersman commeGc ed looking
around, as if anxiCusly seeking for something.
Presently he espied marble font or receptacle
for holy water. His face at once lit up and ad-
vancing to within six feet oft, he, with most
accurate aim, discharged stream of tobacco

happened TO be passing came up greatly excl

he could be convinced that the stranger thought
the thing was a substitute for a spittoon.-

A TRAITOR REBUKED.-Ihe Louisville Jour-
nal tells the following story Of a rebuke lately
administered to the rebel General Buckner. The
truth Of the story is said to be undoubted
Buckner, it seems, making the other day the
rounds of the section he has reduced to submis-
sion for the moment, called at a house where a
loyal young lady of the neighborhood CHANGED
to be paying a visit. Having been asked pr
vately,by gentleman who accompanied Buck
ner to allow the Confederate General to be in
troducud to her, the fair Unionst peremptorily
declined. In passing from one room to anoth-
err however, being very nearsighted, she acct
dentaly came upon Buckner and bis company,
when the gentleman aforementioned, thinking
perhaps, that the tact and galantry of Buckner
would extrieate both of them from the situation
or, possibly without thinking at all, stepped
forward, saying " Miss-,permit me to intro
duce you to General Buckner.' The General
bowed graciously, and, in all the confidence of
irresistible station. extended his hand. Il new

passed out of the room, leaving Buckner and
his introducer standing in speeches shame and
