The snow that has for some time
been hoped for and expected has ar
rived, and the storm that brought it
had its beginning, late Tuesday after
noon. The amount that fell will be
sufficient to insure sleighing, as the
foundation for that was good and the
snow fell evenly and did not drift
to any extent. The present season of
the year-directly after Christmas-is
perhaps the most quiet of the year to
the merchants, and the snow with the
promise of sleighing, may have a ten
dency to liven business up a bit.

ga PAULINE HENDRICKS sc
= ATALEOF THE REVOLUTION! 81

AN A WARM afternoon in August,
~ in the year 1776, young girl
stood watching company of raw
militia drilling. She was the daugh-
ter of Paul Hendricks, one of the
most prominent tories on the Island
OF Manhattan, but although the girl
knew little of the affairs of her
country, her sympathies were with
the colonial cause.
Quite unmindful of the heat, she
stayed on until the sun had sunk and
it was fast growing dark. When
Pauline reached home she was greet
ed by the sound of angry voices, and
on coming nearer she saw her father
shaking his fist III the face of q
young colonial officer, and heard him
cry: s~ - ~
"No! No! I ten you, mol"
At this the young officer bowed,
and said: II thank you, sir, for the
courtesy with which you have re-
ceived me, and will lose no time in
conveying your answer to Gen. WASH
ington." .'...
AS the officer turned he caught
sight of the girl, and, removing his
hat, he bowed slightly.
For the next few weeks Pauline
had scarece a moment to herself.
One hot afternoon soon after the de-
feat of Washington's troops on Long
island, she took her hat and stole out
for walk. She had not walked far
xxyh CHI hno nj ~,
pulling aside some bushes, she gave
a gasp of surprise, for there, with
his head pillowed on a coat, lay the
officer she had seen talking with her
father some weeks before.
She quickly knelt beside him, and
when he spoke it was to say: II
know that can trust you." The girl
nodded, and he went on: II am
Lieut.. John Sperry, of the Fifth New
Jersey, and am carrying very i'm
portant dispatches to his excellency,
Gen. Washington, and in climbing
yonder fence fell and broke my leg,
1 fear me, and now what's to be
done?" The girl thought a moment,
and then replied: "To-night I will
ride with them to Washington's
camp" ''Why, it's eight miles from
here, and it will not be safe" "All
the same I am going" replied the
dauntless girl. And then telling the
officer she would be back soon, she
ran to the house, and calling her
faithful colored servant 10, told him
the particulars and asked his advice.
ut sartanly is a hard case, missy,
but thinks we can manage some
how. Your pa out and the saryents
is all busy, and so if you can keep
your ma out of sight of the back
way, I will carry him up to the gar
ret right now"
This Pauline succeeded in doing
without arousing her mothers sus-
picions, and then after going to the
garnet to see if the officer was COM

Samuel Seager, of Bolivar, N. j.,
has q tame crow named Jim, that
can talk as plainly as some parrots,
Jim is only 16 months old, but few
children of that age can excel him in
making remarks. Jim was caught in
a hollow tree on top of a hill near
Bolivar.
With him was his sister, and both
of them were sold into bondage, Mr..
Seager buying Jim. Now he is SO
tame that he sits on the piano and
criticises when Mr.. Seager's daugh-
ter plays coon songs. Every one who
knows him wishes he could meet
Ernest Thompson Seton.
The crow first began to talk last
winter. He started in by calling
''dad' and ''boo-booh." Later
papa" and mamma" were distinct
" made out. Now he has advanced
80 far that when Mr.. Seager asks
him if he wants his breakfast, Jim
replies: "Wen, I should SMILE"
He will fly straight to a person
who asks him if he wants his head
scratched, if the person has been
formally introduced to him. Other
wise Jim will cut him dead.
