And now the three ilustr;ous militia

they were maraudcrs, who refused

The lower half Of Westchester Co.,
during most Of the revolutionary war,
was kind Of neutral ground, 81 ce
it was situated between the British
lines and the American. Neutral
ground, in war times generally y means
That portion Of the country which is
wa.reu upon and pluudered by both
parties. Owing to its nearness to
New York and to its being the resi-
lencc Of half dozen very rich pro-
pretors, this county was better culti,
waited, and its habltations were larger,
more numerous, and better furnished
than perhaps any other part Of Amer
lea and, consequently, it presented
an inviting field for scouting. A ma.
jority OF its inhabitants, too were To-
ries, and the plunder Of q Tory 5
house and farm was not Likely to be
considered a very heinous offence, un-
less the commander Of the American
lines happened to be good soldier,
as we'll as gentleman.
On the other hand, bands of Tories
frequently traversed the county, ma
king reprisels upon Wing farmers,
diving away their cattle and spoil

passed by the name Of Cow Boys,
from their practice Of driving off the
cattle OF Whig farmers to New York.

taking everything they found upon
their victims, particularly the scarcer

and shirt. Each party, in fact, stole
what it wanted most. The British
party wanted meat the Americans
wanted everything except meat.

things grew worse, until the farms
were generally abandoned, the best
families moved away ard the people

Here I come creeping, creeping every
where;
BY the dusty roadside,
On the sunny Hillside,
Close by the noisy brook,
In every shady nook,
| come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here come creeping smiling everywhere;
All around the open door,
Where sit the aged poor;
Here where the children play,
In the bright and merry May,
l come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here I come creeping, creeping every
where;
In the noisy city street
My pleasant face you'll meet,
Cheering the sick at heart
Toiling his busy part
Silently creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here | come creeping, creeping every
where;
You Cannet see me coming,
Nor hear my low sweet hummng;
For in the starry night,
And the glad morning light,
l come creeping, creeping everywhere.
Here / come creeping, creeping every
where;
More welcome than the flowers
In summers pleasant hours;
The gentle COW is glad,
And the merry bird not sad,
To see lie creeping, creeping everywhere
Here l come creeping, creeping every
where;
When you're numbered With the dead
In your still and narrow bed,
In the happy spring Ill come
And deck your silent homc,--
Creeping, silently creeping everywhere.
Here ! come creeping, creeping every
where;
My humble song Of praise
Most joyfully raise
To him ut whose command;

Creeping, silently creeping everywhere.

proceeding that of the other by two
hours Three weeks later both chill

dying just two hours before the other.
Three weeks after the death Ct the
children, both mothers died on the
same day.

TIE I1ILL-CLIMBING ENGINE
The novel contrivance known as the
hlll-chmbing engine, continues to ex,
cite much interest in France. This
engine, as described, has no wheels,
and consequently does not roll, but
in place of them is furnished with
what are termed legs, upon which it
accompllshes the purpose in view, 1t
is like an ordinary engine in most re-
spects, cut is supplied with straight
rods, terminating in broad, circular
skates. There are three Of these legs
in front and three behind. The CYL
inders, i'll place Of actuatiag wheels,
raise the feet The apparatus is
claimed to be especially adapted for
carrying great weights up railway
incllnes. One of them, weighing
ten tons, is represented as running
four miles an hour, and can accom-.
plish twelve and onc-half miles if
uccircd.

Mr.. SKIpMoRE's BUGLE.-Mr
Peter Skidmore, of Germantown
plays a little on the bugle. One
night last summer he went INTO the
parlor in the dark and felt over
the top of the piano for the horn, II
happened that his aunt from Penn 6
Grove had been there that dav, and
had left her brass ear trumpet lying
on the piano, and reter got hold Of
this without perceiving the mistake,
as the two were Of similar shape.
He took it in his hand and went
out on the porch where Miss Mills
WAS sitting talking to his sister. He
asked Miss Mills if she was fond Of
music on the horn, and when she said
she alored it, he asked her how she
would like him to play Ever Of Thee
and she said that was the only tune
she cared anything for.
So Peter put the small end to bis
lips and blew. lie blew and blew
Then he b.ew some more, and then
he drew fresh breath and blew again
The only sound that came was hoi'
low moan, which sounded so queerly
in the darkness that Miss Mills asked
him if he was not we,l And when
he said lie was, she said lie went ex
actly like a second cousin Of her:
that had the asthma.
Then Peter remarked that some
how the horn was out of order tol
ever for Thee but if Miss Mill!
would like to hear Sweetly dream
ed, love- he would try to play it, anC
Mss Mills said that the tondest re
collections clustered around tha
melody.
So Peter put his trumpet to hi
lips again, and STAINED his lungs il
an effort to make some music. |
wouldn't come, but he made very
singular noise, which induced Miss
Mills to ask il the horse back in the
stable had the heayeg. Then Peter
said he thought somebody must have
put plugs in his buole, and he asked
his sister to light the gass in the en-
try while he cleaned it out. Wher
she did so the ear Of the trumpet be
came painfully conspicuous. and botl
gir4s laughed When Miss Mills
laughed, Peter looked up at her with
pain in his face, put on his hat and
went out into the street where he
could say over an unlimited amount
OF sensational language to himself.
lie is courting another girl now
and learning TO play on the piano.

Wooden Buildings.

Next to the fire, one Of the greatest calamilies
that could happen to ouf city, would be the cree
ton Of wooden buildings on the burnt district on
Water street. Better leave the street fence than
permit that folly to be repeated. If self-preser-
walton, which is said to be the first law of ma
ture, is not sufficient 10 warn men Of the danger,
then the ty should assert its municipal rights.
and stop The progress of work that would cul-
inmate in public nuisance. We have no doubt
that such action on the part OF the city govern
men' if required, would meet the approval of a
majority of our citizens. No more tcooden finder
bOreS-n more expenditure Of money for street
JoHfres-this should be the guiding sentiment in
rebuilding the waste places. In thi. connection
it will not be out of place to quote l6 Of cha
10 of The city ordinances, showing that the city
already has sufficient restraining power in cases
similar to that under consideration:
SECT. 10. No wooden building shall be hereaf-
ter erected in this city exceeding in height twelve
feet TO the highest part Of the roof thereof within
the following limits, viz between the kenncbec
river and a line one hundred and fifty feet west
from the west line of Commercial street and par
allel herewith, and between Bond brook SC
called, on the north and the building used for
offices by the Portland and kennebcc Railroad
Company near the railroad crossing of Water
street on the south. And any buildings erected
IN violation of this ordinance may be declared
against as a common nuisance and dealt with &C
cordingly.
