MOTHERS FOUR QUILTS.

Four quilts are ready to fold and spread
On Mother Earth's old trundle bed.
The first, a brown and white old thing
She puts it on in early spring.
The summer n is green and bright,
With daisies nodding left and right.
And then, when winds begin to blow,
She spreads a red quilt on, you know.
And seTs it thorough with yellow
thread,
And makes an autumn leaf ~bedspread.
And by. and by, all in a night.
She'll spread her quilt of snowy white.

A YANKEE TRICK.

A T one time during the war of
IA 1S12-1S15 with Great Britain a
British privateer made her rem
devious and cruising ground at the
head OF Long Island sound, not far
from ,Stonington, Conn. From that
point of vantage she levied contribu-
lions upon the American vessels tina
piled between New York and the New
England ports. The unfortunate coast
ers were compelled to halt when
threatened with the Englishman's guns
and submit to having their cargoes
examined, the enemy appropriating to
their own use stores, provisions or any
thing that was likely to be needed.
OF course, protests were of no avail,
as 1t was war time, when might made
right anu the strong preyed upon the
weak. No opportunity for reprisals
presented itself to the unarmed mer-
chantmen, until at length Captain
Chase, who sailed the sloop Echo out
of Stonington, resolved to attempt by
stratagem what could not be effected
by force.
The captain prevailed upon an Amer
lean colonel in Stonington to furnish
him with fifty men, who, when the
time for sailing arrived, were con-
cealed in the hold of the sloop, be-
tween which and the cabin was an
opening through the bulkhead. A num-
Der of live sheep were then brought on
board and occupied the deck Of the
craft. With this strange cargo Captain
Chase got his vessel under way one
fine morning and steered for the en-
trance of the sound, bound, as every
one supposed, to New York.
When the Echo arrived within hailing
distance of the %privateer, according TO
expectations, she was signaled to heave
to by the report OF a gun from the lat
ter and a ball hat came whistling
across her bows. AS the sloop came up
into the wind In answer to this urgent
summons an officer on the quarter deck
OF the privateer hailed her through his
speaking trumpet with the usual ques-
tons. When he asked, What are you
loaded WITH" the Yankee captain an
swered:
Meat on deck and sass (vegetables)
In the hold"
The sloop was ordered to run along
side, and when this was done nearly all
of the prfvateer's crew boarded her,
1napelled by curiosity to examine her
unusual cargo, leaving only five OF six
men to guard the British ship. As the
foot of the las Englishman touched
h sloop's deck the Yankee captain
gave a signal, and up the cabin COM
panfonway rushed the forms of armed
men. The privateersman's crew, who
had left most of their weapons on board
the ship, were taken completely by sur
prise and were quickly ~overpowered by
the half a hundred Americans. The
few men OF board the English vessel
also surrendered, n as the sun was
setting that evening the patriotic citi-
7ens of Stonington were surprised and
grati1ed to see the victorious Echo sail
ing into the harbor, accompanied by a
large ship. from whose masthead fleated
the Stars and Stripes. Captain Chase
had returned the same day with his
sheep and a valuable prize which he
had captured without the loss of a man
on either side.-New York Herald.
