Emily Geiger>s Ride.

Emily GelgerS Ride.
(BY F. MUENCH.)
At an early hour of dawn in June,
Still stood in the heavens the disk OF
moon;
= A crowd was assembled in front OF a
cot,
In motiy, half-anxious, half-curious
knot
Round jet-black charger, all saddled
for ride;
And they fondled his neck and they
patted his side,
Afectionately murmuring, "Remem-
Der, good steed,
This day whole country depends on
thy speed"
The intelligent creature in mute reply
Let sweep o'er the circle his faithful
eye;
And eager to prove to the people his
= strength,
Extended his forelegs their uttermost
! length,
And seemed to express by his snufing
the air,
By the strain of his muscles and nos
trils' fare:
s.Be tranquil, good folks! I shall prove
( by my deed
That the country not vainly relied on
my speed.".
The cottage door opened, and out on
the scene,
Andled by the arm of General Greene
Came Emily Geiger, her thoughtful
Illumed by her MISSIONS transfguring
rays,
But he gave her letter, and stroking
her curls,
He whispered: "God shield thee, thou
bravest Of girls;;''
Then he turned to the charger: "Re-
member, good steed,
This day whole country depends on
thy speed!''
A kiss from her father, who lent her
his aid
Tc leap in the saddle, a Woro
from the maid,
And forth plunged the charger with
all his might,
And quickly had vanished with fal-
cons fight.
Long harked yet the patriots to his
gallop's report,
Then turned to their task OF lombard
ing the fort;
Butthey prayed the whole day: "Oh,
haste thee, good steed;
Thissdsy whole country depends on
thy speed!"
In course as straight asa robin will
soar
TO the north, when the winters do
minion is DER,
The maid in the meantime had fol-
lowed the ridge
That skirts the Saluda; once over the
bridge,
Her journey lay wholly in hostile do
main,
A region of warfare and party cam
paign;
- 12L l~ ohop0o gSNNw
haste thee. good steed!
The veal of a country depends on thy
speed"
A ride of five hours, and the Enoree
lay,
From mountain-rains swollen across
their way;
Every bridge washed away, every
trace of ford;
No ferry, no wherry to take them on
board.
Yet breasting the pillows, they boldly
defied
The treacherous, turbulent, ..threaten-
ing tide,
And landed in safety, ''Now haste
thee, my steed!
The veal of country depends on thy
speed!"
,Tvas noon! and from heaven the ra-
+ dient sun
Shot fiery beams, yet she Stacked not
her run
As she wended her way through the
Tigers vale
On a narrow, obstructed, old Indian
trail,
Her saddle here broke, but she flung
il aside,
And sitting now bareback, continued
her ride,
