she said, softly. Then her mind went
back to a strange thing that occurred.
While Mrs. Noble was fitting the gar
ments on her they had heard the
voices of two men in an adjoining
room The lady went quickly to the
door and the voices became silent.
Who could they be? Capt. Noble was
with Washington; it could not be he.
And yet rumor spoke of the daring and
skill of the captain in venturing into
this very city, British possessed as it
was, and gathering valuable informa-
ton for his beloved general.
But Elizabeth's attention was at
tracted at this moment by man who
seemed TO be following her. She was
brave, quick-witted child, but her
heart beat faster as She perceived that
the man was in British uniform. They

Washington on Partisanship.

There is an opinion in free coun-
tries that parties are useful checks
upon the administration of the gov
ernment and serve to keep alive the
spirit of liberty. This, within GER
tain bounds, probably is true, and in
governments of a monarchial cast
patriotism may look with indulgence,
if not with favor, upon the spirit Of
party. But in those OF popular char
acter-in governments purely elect
ive-it is a spirit not to be encour-
aged. From their natural tendency
it is certain there will always be
enough of this spirit for every salu-
tary purpose. And there being con-
sistent danger of excess the effort
ought to be by force Of public opin-
ion to mitigate and assuage it

- What vast resources, what vari-
Gus talents Joined!
TEMPERED with social virtues milder rays,
There patriot worth diffused purer blaze;
Formed to command respect, esteem in
spire,
Midst statesmen grave, or midst the social
choir,
With equal skill the sword or pen to WELD,
In council great, unequaIed in the field.
Mid glittering courts or rural walks to
please,
Polite with grandeur, dignified with ease;
Before the splendors of thy high renown
How fade the gloWworm lusterS of a crown,
How sink diminished in that radiance lost
The glare of conquest, and of power the
boast.
Let Greece her AIeXanders deeds proclaim.
Or Caesars triumphs gild the Roman name,
Stripped of the dazzling glare around them
cast,
Shrinks at their crime humanity aghast;
With equal claim to honor's glorious need
See Attila his course of havoc lead!
Ger Asia realms, in one vast ruin hurled,
See furious Zingis' bloody flag unfurled.
On base far different from the conQueror's s
claim
Rests the ursuilned column of thy fame;
His on the woes of millions proudly based
With blood cemented and with tears de-
faced;
Thine on a nations welfare fixed sublime
By freed ON strengthened and revered by
time.
He, as the Comet, whose portentous light
Spread baleful splendor DER the gIooms

With chill amazement fills the startled

While storms and earthquakes dire :ts

And Nature trembles, lest in chaos hurled
Should sink the tottering fabric of the

Thou, like the Sun. whose kind propitious

Opes the glad morn and lights the fields of

Dispels the wintry storm, the chilling rain,
With rich abundance clothes the smiling

Then Elizabeth understood instant

had cone from Mrs. Mobiles house and
was dressed in little Miss Elenor's
clothes. The men had taken her for
Miss Elenor and were trying to find
out about Capt. Noble. In her loyal
heart she resolved never, never to be-
tray her friends, not even if the SOL
diers killed her for her silence. If
she spoke ut all she must tell the
truth, for sac had been taught that a

dately, because her sense of dignity
forbade skipping for joy, as her feel

of stout new shoes and warm home

"No," said one, "you must remain

out, locking the door after them.
Poor Elizabeth sat there for some
time fearing to move, but when the
dusk began to deepen, she resolved to
try to escape. This was no hard ia SIX
to the active child, for the windows
were unbarred and she soon climbed to
the ground. Without pausing, she ran
to Mrs. Mobiles house. The lady her
self came to the door.
"Dear Mrs. Noble" Elizabeth gasped,

Mrs. Noble drew her in the house and

the room quickly and when she re-
turned she folded Elizabeth in her
arms and said: Heaven bless thee,

added: "But you must go home now.

his hand was on her shoulder.

Nothing more was said, and little
