Rahl's aids and demanded of him in the
Dutch language where Miss Rodgers was
quartered, at the same time placing o pis-
tol against the Dutchman's heart. The
sheep-headed, cowardly, hireling, cut
throat villain Immediately told him that
she was in an upper room at headquarters,
at the same time begging hard for his un-
worthy life, and telling Mr.. Warner that
he would show him where the young lady
was, as he had the key of her room. He
accordingly conducted the intrepid young
man to an upper room in the house, where
Rail and his officers had been quartered,
and giving the key to him he wished to
retire, but our hero bid him stand at his
peril, and unlocking the door he found
himself in the presence of his betrothed.
Lizzie was calm she met her affianced
with loving kindness. She neither scream.
ed nor tainted, for she was brave girl, and
equal to the emergency. Warner enqnired
OF her if her captors had injured her, and
she answered that they had not, as they
had treated her with apparent kindness,
except that she was kept close prisoner,
with the understanding that she was to be
compelled to marry the Dutch brute that
then stood before them, and who had been
her jailor. This fellows name was Carl
Deitricht, and Col. Rail told her but yes
terday that on New Years day she should
become the frau of his aid Deitricht, and
that all the powers on earth could not pre-
vent it. But Providence had willed other
wise, for Col. Rail was now in eternity
and his gallant aid prisoner of war.
Warner now took his loved one by the
arm, and they were soon in the presence of
the immortal Father of his Country. The
General congratulated the young lady upon
her escape from her hireling captors, and
ordered an elegant charger, that had been
the property of the tow-headed Deitricht,
to be furnished with a side-saddle, on
which our heroine was mounted, and she
managed the fiery steed with the skill and
grace of first-class rider.
diately left Trenton, taking with him 1000
Hessian prisoners, and recrossed the Della
ware the same evening, taking with him
his prisoners-George Warner the ferry
man conducting the crossing, as he had
done the evening before. In short time
after this Mr.. Warner led the fair Lizzie to
the altar, and as she had no father, Gene
raj Washington gave away the bride. But
if it had not been for the attack on Tren-
ton, she would most likely never have been
the bride of Warner; and if it had not
been for the skill of the ferryman, Wash
ington might not have been able to cross
the Delaware, as two other divisions of his
army made the attempt at other points and
both failed. The hand of an all-seeing
Providence is conspicuous in the case.

How Gen. Polk was Killed.

An ex-Confederate, writing for the West
minister Re0ieao, gives the following account
of the death of the Bishop General:
The death of this distinguished man &C.
CURED while our army lay in front Of Ken
esaw. Johnston, with a group of officers,
among whom was Polk, was max ing recon-
noissance of the enemy's lines from the sum-
nit of the Pike Mountains, lofty, solitary
mount, which jutted out from the range,
and formed the apex of an acute angle, on
which our line was arranged. The situa-
ton was very hazardous one, being COM
manded, or rather reached, by guns from
any portion of the enemy's lines.
The unusual assemblage in such conspic-
uous place soon attracted the vigilant enc
my. A battery in front Immediately fired
one shot, which we afterwards found out
was but the prelude to one of the most
fearful shellings 1 ever witnessed. The
group was standing between young Beau
regards battery and the fifth company of
Washington Artillery, Johnston being on
the works looking through field glass.
"The first shot could not have missed
him two feet, but the only attention he
paid to it was to turn his glass to the bat
terry that fired it. Polk had, in the mean
time, separated from the group and was
walking thoughtfully away, with his left
side to the enemy, his head down, and his
hands clasped behind him. The second
shell fired at the crowd struck him in the
arm, and passed through the body, tearing
out his heart, and then crushing his right
arm above the elbow. He dropped on one
knee, wavered, then fell on one side-dead.
| had hardly turned my back when heard
the murmur of horror run through the line,
General Polk is killed. Johnston said
not word, but ran to him and lifted him
in his arms. Hardee uttered cry and
also rushed forward. He was past all hui
man help. The members of his staff ten
derly lifted and bore him from the field.n

THE Round Table, in one of series of rem
inlscences OF Washington Irving, tells the
following capital story. We have seen
something like it before, hut nothing SO
well done. 1t is hard to imagine how the
eloquent and flute-voiced Mr.. Williams felt
when he saw his "pathetics 50 ludicrous-
ly murdered:
The case, if remembered rightly, was an
act of murder. Mr.. Williams, of course on
the ground of his power over the jury, was
for the defence. His peroration was ex-
ceedingly touching and beautiful.
"Gentlemen of the jury he said, eff
you can find this unhappy prisoner at the
bar guilty of the crime with which he is
charged, after the adverse and irrefragable
arguments which have laid before you,
pronounce your fatal verdict. Send him
to lie in chains upon his dungeon floor,
waiting the death which he is to receive
at your hands; then go to the bosom of
your families-go lay yonr head upon your
pillows-and sleep if you can !"
The effect OF these closing words of the
great legal orator was at first thrilling :,
but by-and-by the pettifogger, who had vol
unteered to follow the prosecuting attor-
ney, arose and said:
Gentlemen OF the jury: l should de-
spair, after the weeping speech which has
been made to you by Mr.. Williams, of say
ing anything to do away with its elo-
quence. l never heard Mr.. Williams speak
that piece ofhis'n better that what he spoke
it jesU new. Onct heard him speak it in
a case of stealing down to Schaghticake
then he spoke it again in case of rape to
Esopus and the last time l heard it, be-
fore jest now, was when them niggers was
tried and convicted, too, they was-for
robbing farmer Van Pets hen house over
beyond Kingston. But l never know'd
him to speak itso effectin' as what he spoke
it jest now"
This was poser. The jury looked at
one another, and whispered together; and
our pettifogger saw at once that he had
got them; hestopped at once, closing with
the single remark:
Ifyou can't see, gentlemen of the jury,
that this one speech don't answer in all
cases, then there's no us't ofmy saying any
thing more! !"
And there wasn't he had made his case,
and they awarded him their verdict.

Gems of Thought.

"A hidden light soon becomes dim, and
if it be entirely covered up, will expire for
want of air. So it is with hidden religion.
1t must go out. There cannot be Chris
tian whose light in some aspect does not
shine.
Some one has beautifully said: ''Truth
is immortal; the sword cannot pierce it,
fire cannot consume it, prisons cannot in
carcerate it, famine cannot starve it,"
1t is not work that kills men; it is wor-
ry. Work is healthy you can hardly put
more upon man than he can bear. Wor-
ry is crust upon the blade"
Whenever merchant or farmer meas
ures bushel of corn, or wheat, or salt, God
weighs it Immediately after him. The mer-
chants measure may be wrong, but Gods
measure is just right.
If He who causes blade of grass to
spring up where none grew up before, is a
blessing to the world, what praise shall be
given Him who creates smile where flow

The CannOn-BalI Tree.

Among the plants of Guinea, one of the
most curious is u cannon-ball tree. 1t
grows to the height Of sixty feet, and its
flowers are remarkable for beauty and fra
GRANGE, being of a beautiful crimson, APP
pearing in large punches, and exhaling o
rich perfume. The fruit resembles enor-
nous cannon-balls; hence the name How
ever, some say it has been so called because
Of the noise which the ball makes in burst
ing. From the shell domestic utensils are
made, and the contents contain several
kinds of acids, besides sugar and gum, and
furnish the material for making an excel
lent drink in sickness. But, singular as it
may appear, this pulp, when in perfectly
ripe state, is very filthy, and the odor from
it is exceedingly unpleasant

Attachment to Newspapers.

A strong attachment of subscribers to
well-conducted newspapers is fully con-
frmed by publishers. "Stop my paper,''
words of dread to beginners in business,
lose their terror after paper has been estab-
lished for a term of years. So long as a pa
per pursues a just, honorable and judicious
course, meeting the wants of its customers
in all respects, the ties offriendship between
the subscribers and the paper are as hard
to break by an outside third party as the
links which bind old friends in business or
social life Occasional defects and errors
in newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to it through
its perusal for years. They sometimes be-
come dissatisfied with it ON account of
something which had slipped into its col
umns, and may stop taking it; but the alb
sence of the family sheet at at their homes
or office for a few weeks, becomes an in
supportable deprivation, and they hasten
to take it again, and possibly apologize for
having it stopped. This we may believe
to be the common experience in the histo-
ry of all established papers. No friend
ship on earth is more constant than that
contracted by the reader for journal which
makes an honest and earnest effort to mer-
it his continued support. Hence the news
paper which is conscienciously conducted
becomes favorite in the family.

THE BEST cow IN PERIL.

Old Farmer ?. is stingy man,
He keeps all he gets, and he gets all lie cam
BY all his friends he is said to be
As tight as the bark on young birch tree;
He goes to church, and he rents pew,
But the dimes that he gives to the Lord are few
If he gets to heaven with the good and great
lie Will be let in at the smallest gate.
Now Farmer b., besides drags and plows,
Keeps number of fine calves and cows
He makes no butter but sends by express
The milk to the city's thrstiness.
"What do the city folks know about milk?
They are better judges of cloth and silk;
Not man who buys I'll VOW, can tell
If water 1t not, or water it well.
II they do not know, then where's the sim
I'll put the sparkling water in"
Thus talked to himself old Farmer b..
How mean lie is, young and old can see.
One night it was dark, oh fearfuly dark;
The watch dog never came out to bark
Old Farmer b. in his bed did snore,
When rap, rap, rap, nearly shattered his door,
And II voice cried out with hasty breath,
'Your best COW, neighbor, is choaking to death"
Clipping off the end of rousing suore,
Farmer b. bounded out on the bedroom floor
And the midnight voice was heard no more
lie pulled on his pants he knew not how,
For his thoughts were all on the chOaking COW;
lie flew to the yard like a frightened deer,
For his stingy soul was filled with fear;
Looking around by his lanterns light,
He found that the cows were there all right.
81 will give dime" clied farmer b.
$40 know who played that trick on me;
May the hand be stiff and the knuckle sore
That knocked tonight my farm house door"
With a scowl on his face and shaking head,
Farmer b. again sought his nice warm bed;
No good thoughts came, they were all empowered
The little good nature he had had soured.
When he went to W ater his milk next dav
The midnight voice seemed again to say,
As he pumped away with painting breath;
Your best COW, neighbor, is choaking to death"
The meaning of this he soon found out,
FOR stone was driven in the old pumps spout
Old Farmer b., when he drives to town,
Now meets his neighbors with savage frown;
They smile and ask, as they kindly bow,

A physician called to prescribe fn,

A physician called to prescribe for
somewhat illitcrate old lady, and as cod
liver oil, in his opinion, was the remedy
for her complaint, he wrote prescription
for the apothecary to put up, with the Lat
in formula, Ole. Jec. Ass.," being an alb
breviation of Oleum Jecoris Asselli, or, in
plain English, cod liver oil. The medicine
was procured, taken, and in few weeks
the lady completely recovered her health.
A neighbor paid her visit after her re-
covery, and, expressing surprise at her i'm
proved condition, inquired the secret of
so rapid restoration. "Why," said the
old lady, lifting both hands in grateful en-
thusiasm, 1T was that beautiful medicine,
