THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, PA. APRIL le, 1878

Major Gainey. The rest of the night
was spent in procuring the desired arti-
cles, and at sunrise the next morning
Lieutenant Wilson, with his wagons
and their contents, escorted by guard
of fifty men, set out for the " High
Hills of Santee," where the tory majors
headquarters were located.
The wagons and their escort made
good time, and by sunset were forty
miles from Charleston. The sun was
scarcely half an hour high when Lieu
tenant Wilson ordered halt for the
purpose of camping for the night. The
mounted men fastened their horses to
the trees, and, removing their saddles,
prepared to cook their evening meal
the teams were unhitched from the wag-
ons, and thecommand busted themselves
in preparing foria comfortable night.
Every one was busy, and no one noticed
that while these arrangements were In
progress Lieutenant Wilson had drawn
off from his party, and disappeared in
the woods that bordered the road. Sud
denly there was a cracking in the
brush.wood, which caused the British
troopers to spring to their feet in alarm.
AS they did so, a voice, which sounded
not unlike that of the young lieutenant
shouted loudly:
Surrender, or you are all dead menl"
General Marion secured his prisoners,
together with the arms, ammunition,
wagons and horses; and set out, after
a rest of few hours, for Snow Island.
AT the request of the bogus Lieutenant
Wilson, he sent back one of the red
coats to Charleston with note to Colo
mel Watson, informing him of the trick
that had been played on him by the
lieutenant, who, so far from being a
lieutenant in the tory legion, was none
other than the famous Charles Hamp-
ton, a captain in Marion's brigade who
had planned and carried out the plan so
successfully thanking the colonel for
the excellent weapons and other material
he had sent him, and promising to do
good service with them.
The British commander was furious
when heread the note and saw the hoax
of which he had been made the victim.
He went in haste to Mrs. Garden, but
the fair widow had sailed for England.
He was compelled to swallow his morti-
fication in silence, and few years later
when the war was over, his chagrin was
not little increased by the tidings
which reached him, that Mrs. Garden
had married the young officer who had
tricked him out of his rifles.

d" ] Did as the Rest. I"

This tame, yielding spirit, this doing
''as the rest did, has ruined thousands.
A young man is invited by vicious
companions to visit the theatre, or gam
bling room, or other haunts of licentious-
ness. He becomes dissipated, spends his
time, loses his credit, squanders his prop
erty, and at last sinks into an untimely
grave. What has ruined him ? Simply
"doing what the rest did,"
A father has family of sons. He is
wealthy. Other children in the same
situation in life do so and so; are in
dulged in this thing and that. He i'll
dulges his own in the same way. They
grow idlers, triflers and fops. The father
wonders why his children do not sue
ceed better. He has spent so much
money on their education-has given
them such great advantages; but alas
they are only q source of vexation and
trouble. Poor man he is just paying
the penalty OF ''doing as the rest did,
This poor mother tries hard to bring
up her daughters genteelly. They learn
what others do, to paint, to sing, to
dance, and several useful matters. In
time, they marry, their husbands are
unable to support their extravaganza,
and they are soon reduced to poverty
and wretchedness. The good woman is
astonished. Truly says she, 81 did
as the rest did,"
The sinner, following the example Of
others, puts off repentance, and neglects
to prepare for death. He passes along
through life, till, unawares, death strikes
the fatal blow. He has no time left now
to prepare. And he goes down to de
struction because he was so foolish as to
''do as the rest did,

A Little Lesson.

MTE ought not to complain too bitter
w ly or to be too much disheartened
at the misfortunes that may befall us, as
we never can be sure that the events,
however apparently untoward, may not
turn out to be no misfortunes at all in
the end. This principle is well illustra-
ted by the following case:
A seaman on board man-of-war had
both his legs broken by the bursting of a
bomb on the decks in the midst of bat
tie. He was taken below, and his case
was soon examined by the surgeon. The
surgeon decided that the left one was so
badly fractured that it must come off.
The next morning, being occupied him
self with the cases of some of the officers
he sent two of his assistants to perform
the amputation. They, somehow OF
other, made mistake, and took off the
right leg-which in this case was the
wrong one.
The surgeon, when he came to see
what had been done, was much incensed
against the assistants, as was also the
seaman himself. The latter, however,
declared that he would not submit to
another amputation, but would take
his chance with the wreck that remain
ed to him, and live or die as fate might
determine.
Contrary to the surgeons predictions,
he got well. The left leg recovered and
became as serviceable as ever. He had
wooden leg made to replace the other.
Sometime afterward he was in another
battle. A shot came from the enemy's
ship, and, sweeping the deck, struck our
seaman and took off-his wooden leg.
He seized hold of the capstan to steady
himself, and as soon as he had recovered
little from the shock, and the aston
ishment of seeing the .splinters of his
wooden limb flying over the side, he
snapped his fingers, saying:
How lucky it is for me now that
those laundering fellows took off the leg
they did For if they had taken off the
other one should not now have any
leg at all !"

may not. What want is n policeman
to pull the goat out"
Deputy Constable Boother, with his
accustomed gallantry, proffered his
services. About half an hour later the
girl rushed in, considerably excited, and
said she must have policeman right
away to get the deputy constable out of
the shaft. Capt. Bryne, Constable
Walker and Justice Knox flew to the
spot. Upon the side of the mountain
near David street they found the Depu-
ty Constable in an old prospect hole,
about ten feet deep. He was up to his
knees in mud, and it was only after great
trouble that he was extricated. His ac-
count of the affair Is given in his own
language:
got up here and found the hole and
knelt over the edge to look for the goat.
found the goat, or rather it found me,
for the first thing l knew he struck me
square in the rear. l went in head first
into the mud, sagebrush and rocks, and
when looked up there was the goat
standing at the edge of the hole threat
enin' to jump on top of me. Then there
was the girl GRIMM at me alongside
the goat. You see the animal crawled
out of the hole and came along again
just as was lookin' over. Or else the
thing never fell in at all, and the girl
put the job up on me-"
The last seen of the girl by the report
er was about an hour later, when she
had about two dozen of the neighbors
around her, telling them of the occur
renee. They seemed to enjoy it.-Vir-

t5y" A timely dose of schenck's Mandrake
Pills is sure TO prevent an attack of biliousness
when a short neglect of the warning symp-
toms may develop serious case of fever, either
bilious, intermittent or typhoid.
schenck's Mandrake pills remove all causes
of biliousness, promptly start the secretions of
the liver, and give healthy tone to the entire
system. IL is no ordinary discovery in medical
science to have found harmless cure for this
stubborn complaint, which accomplishes all
the results heretofore produced by free use of
calomel, mineral Justly dreaded by mankind,
and acknowledged to be destructive in the ex-
treme to the human system. That the proper
ties of certain vegetables comprise all the vir-
tues of calomel without Its injurious qualities,
is now an admitted fact, rendered indsputable
by scientific tests. Those who use the Man
drake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best
medicines are those provided by nature in the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
These pills open the bowels and correct all
bilious arrangements without salvation or any
of the injurious effects of calomel or other poi
sons. The secretion of bile is regulated as
will be seen by the altered color of the stools,
the disappearance of the sallow complexion
and the cleansing of the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany each
box of pills. Prepared only by j. II. Schenck
& Son, at their principal office, cor. Sixth and
Arch streets, Philadelphia. Price 25 cents per
box.

Japanese Children.

One of the first lessons presented to
foreign teacher in Japan is the reason of
the great apparent happiness and light
heartedness of Japan children. One may
walk for hours through the streets of
Toxic and scarcely ever hear child's
cry of distress. -Four principal causes of
this superiority of the children of Japan
over those of other nations have been
suggested by an English lady resident
there. They are worthy of the atten-
ton of the teachers at home. The style
of clothing, loose and yet warm, is far
more comfortable than the dress of our
children. japanese children are much
more out in the open air and sunshine.
The absence of furniture, and, therefore,
absence of repeatedly given instructions
mot to touch" The thick, soft mat
ting, forming at once the carpet and
beds of all japanese houses, and the
raised Intel on to which the children
may Chamber, as they grow strong, con-
stitutes the very beau ideal of an infants
playground.
Children in Japan are much petJed
without being capriciously thwarted. a
child is not cuffed one minute and in
dulged the next. To these four most
suggestive reasons the writer can add
fifth, which is, that japanese character
is so constituted as to bring their elders
into strong sympathy with the little
ones. 1t has been well said that Japan
is paradise for babies" for you may
well see old and young playing together
at the battle-door and shuttle-cock in the
streets; while on holidays the national
amusement of men, women and chill
dren is flying huge paper kites. Puppet
shows and masquerades also have their
votaries in thousands from among both
sexes and ages.

How Marion got his Rifles.

THE close of the year 1880 was sad
Il year for America. The British held
the country from Charleston to the up
per Santee, and in order to complete
their conquest, had established chain
of posts through the State, each of
which was strongly fortified and defend
ed by good garrison. Organized resist
ance to the British there was none. On
the American side the principal actors in
the struggle were the men who composed
the famous light brigade of General
Marion.
The favorite rendezvous of Marion was
at Snow Island. This is piece of high
river swamp, as it is called in the Caro-
linas, and was surrounded on the three
sides by water, so as to be almost i'm
pregnable. Here Marion had his camp.
From this fastness he issued forth at
pleasure to range the enemies granaries,
or capture a struggling party of his
troops. Secure in his retreat, he had no
fear of pursuit.
In the city of Charleston, the despot-
ism of the British was at its height;
the proud-spirited people of that capital
were held down by grinding tyranny.
Many of them were still open and un-
compromising in their hostility to the
English, while others, thinking they
could best serve the cause in that way,
affected hearty submission to the con-
querors, and were seemingly the most
loyal of all King Georges subjects. Yet,
while the English saw this and congrat-
ulated themselves upon the good effect
it would have on the colonist, these very
''loyalists" kept the American COM
manders constantly informed of all that
passed within the British lines, and
many disaster of the British was in
this way directly attributed to them.
One of these persons was a lady of
fine social position and great wealth.
Indeed, there were few persons in all
Charleston over whose submission to
the crown the British were more elated
than they were over that of Mrs. Annie
Garden. She was young and beauti-
full widow, just twenty-five, and for sew
eral years had been the standing toast
of beaux of the Carolinas. When the
British took the city, she was one of the
first to submit to the king, and since her
house had been the favorite gathering
place of the redcoat gentry. Many of
Mrs. Gardens friends, who were staunch
patriots to the last, cut her acquaintance
and shook their heads in silent indigna-
ton when her name was mentioned and
when they dared speak at all it was only
to condemn the widows treachery. In
the camp of Marion, however, there
was one cheek that kinded with pride
and not with shame when the lady's
name was mentioned; and as for Gen
eral Marion himself, he could have told
tales that would have startled the wild
ow's Charleston friends, had it been
safe to do so.
While Marion was creating so great
an excitement beyond the gates of
Charleston, Mrs. Garden resolved to give
a ball. Preparations were made on an
extensive scale, and the loyal element OF
