none more picturesque than the Vir-

the march OF the virginians from the
camp at Cambridge to the rendezvous
at Newburyport belongs to an old
farmhouse set back a little from the
main road on a shady lane OF its own.
In its kitchen, that September day,
boy Of nine was engaged IN wa hing
dishes, half-crying with vexation over
his task and the possibility of the sol

an injunction not to leave the house

that OF the tallest and handsomest men
he had ever seen, several inches over
six feet-attired in buckskin hunting
shirts and with caps bearing the motto
i"Liberty OF death" They were Daniel
Morgan and one Of his lieutenants.
THEY entered and asked for draft or
water; but the boy hastily whisking on
his apron, invited them to sit down
and partake of milk and cookies in
stead-an offer which they readily ae-
ceDted. But the baby, as her brothers
foot left the rocker reused herself and
began to cry so Justify that he hesitat-

or to go at once to the pantry. The
mighty Virginian captain did not hesi-

Children, you are very little.
And your bones are very brittle:
II You would grow tall and stately
You must try to walk sedately.
You must stiil be bright and quiet,
And content with simple diet:
And remain, through all bewild'ring,
Innocent and honest children.
Happy hearts and happy faces,
Happy play in grassy places
That was how. In ancient ages,
Children grew to kings and sages.
But the unkind and the unruly,
And the sort who eat unduly,
They must never hope for glory
Theirs is quite a different story.
Cruel children. crying babies.
All grow up as geese and gables,
