A Mother Of tho Revolution.

The city Of Elizabeth, New jersey
celebrated in July its successful stand
against the British soldiers vino
marched through the little town on
their way to Springfield The
dragons, the Queens Rangers, the
English and the Hessians. gay in new
uniforms and brave with glittering
brass and steel, were held at bay by
little command Of sixty patriots arm
ed with muskets.
On the morning of the invasion a
few young men, armed for fighting,
were standing before a house. An old
woman, feeble and gray, the grand
mother Of two Of the group, came out
Of the house and went from one to an
other Of the young men, encouraging
them with words Of good cheer
Then she addressed the little COM
pany:
my children" she said, in a voice
resolutely calm, you are going out in
a just cause to fight for the rights and
liberties Of your country. You have
my blessing and my prayers to God
for your safety. But if you fall. His
will be done. Let me beg Of you /:
you fall it may be ike men, and that
none of your wounds may be in your
backs"
The old woman's name is forgotten,
but her speech still rings brave and
clear.

THE NORTHERN LIGHTS.

All scentless lie the fields Of snow,
The valley mists hang deep below,
No earthly damps attaint the air.
And all is pure and white and fair.
No stir betrays the wandering breeze,
No whisper from the frozen trees.
They muster still and stark and pale,
A phantom host in silver mail.
And silver-studded over all
Is drawn nights velvet purple pail,
And all is peace; the ftful breath
Seems sacrlege in this land of death.
When far athwart the Northern Pole
The rainbow tinted streamers roll,
The leaSured wizard Of the North
Has flung his fiery challenge forth.
And. where across the frozen plain
Lies the grim harvest of the slain.
His Icy searchlights coldly sweep
The approaches to his virgin keep.
So are there ATTITUDES too high
In realms of cold philosophy,
And barren wastes, that cannot give
The bread whereby a man may live.
