"its time to be going; it's we'll nigh to dark,
and we'll be late getting home"
"Wait bit, father, till I speak to Miss
Ellen-she is coming this way" said Bessie
and as she spoke, a tall and lovely girl, lean
ing upon the arm of an elderly gentleman,
approached.
The old man took off his hat respectfully,
as they drew near, while Bessie, with man
ner more familiar, addressed them:
"How do you do, Mr.. Willoughby? was
fearing you would 60 without speaking, Miss
Ellen, and you we're so busy talking with
the minister, wouldn't trouble you. But,
Oh! Miss Ellen, wasn't it great sermon of
the minister's? If I were but man"
"Wel, Bessie, and if you were man, what
would you do" said Mr.. Willoughby, smiling.
Il wouldn't stand idling like you, great
lazy louts," replied Bessie-her plump little
form expanding, and her blue eyes flashing
with eagerness. "But I would join Major
Davies troopers, and 1 would fight as the
minister says we ought to fight"
"Ah, Bessie, if all were such staunch
Wings as you, would not have to spur the
boys on to their duty" said the minister, as

party of stalwart fellows are yonder, and not
one of them shouldering musket for their
countrys defence"

A perfect volley of oaths and imprecations
was the reply.

| Ellen Campbell was "woman of the Rev
olution," and these words contain history OF
courage, of sacrifice, of patriotism, of chival-
ry, such as knights ne'er broke lance for.
Her whole soul was bound up in the cause of
liberty. Her lofty air of aristocratic breed.
ing might have been considered too command
ing in woman, had it not been relieved in
her happy moments by an air of playfulness,
winning and fascinating. She had inherited
from line of stern Scotch ancestors, spirit
of command, which. perhaps, was fostered by
the natural imbecility of her uncle's temper,
giving to her manner determination which
would have been unpleasant, did not the sweet
and gentle tones of her voice contradict all
unfeminine harshness. Her figure, tall and
slender, but exquisitely graceful, was moulded
to perfect symmetry. Her complexion pearly
white, while the act of speaking flushed her
cheek to pale rose tint, which, in the mo-
ment of excitement, deepened to the color Of
the roses heart. Her large, melting violet
eyes, with those delicately penciled brows,
we're expressive of nobility and sweetness.
The features of her face, so beautiful and no.
BILE, denoted more of the courage and determi-
nation of the sterner sex than the softer quail
tiles of her own. Her mouth was Of arch
sweetness-the royal short upper lip indica-
ting tenderness-with wealth of fair waving
hair, bound in massive braids around the Gre
clan head, made perfect picture Of Scottish
beauty. From the retirement of her life and
the want of intercourse with her sex, her &C.
quirements had been unusual and superior.
Studying much the history of her own Gov
enanters, she had imbibed their unyielding
principle. From Calvin and Knox down to
the Westminster Assembly, she was familiar
with their bold contentious for the faith, 80
that her mind was deeply imbued with the
spirit of liberty. Mr.. Adams, too, her child

This woman, VINO was native of
Hayti, ana was about thirty-five wears
old, began in the year 1860 or there
abouts to notice that the color which she
had always supposed to be natural to her
skin, was slowly fading away in many
places, and being replaced by hue re-
sembllng that of white woman. Far
from being pleased with the transforma-
ton scene which the FAIRIES were thus
working upon her, she entirely objected
to the proceeding, and took every irn-
aginable step to prevent the com
pletion of a freak of nature which
her enemies might make bold to call en-
perime1tum IN cOrpore Uui.
Doctors were called in. and the native
