Resurgam.
" If man dies shall he live again.
Behold the grasses, russet grain,
And answer this: Is man not more,
Is man at least not quite as much
As grass and all the golden store
That kneels and knows His hallowed touch?
The grass, the grain, the grateful trees
They rise as One who walked the seas;
They live again and yet again
And is man, then, so less than these?
Ave. surely man shall live again.
Behold the proud, sprodigious sun!
But when his kingly day is done
Shall he again rise up and reign?
Canst prove, by any creed or code,
In court of law or equity,
That ever we again shall see
The great sun ride his star built road!
Yet | believe the sun will rise,
And man as surely mount the skies.

who had won Saratoga with Arnold;
and partisan leaders a score, whom
he had learned to dread in that wide
forested country.
CORVALLIS OutseneraIed.
He was outgeneraled his forces
were taken in detail and beaten, and
he himself was forced at last into
Virginia.
BY midsummer, 1881, all his interior
posts were lost, and he was cut of
from Charleston and Savannah by a
country he dared not cross again. In
Virginia, though at first he raided as
he pleased, he was checked more and
more as the season advanced by q
growing force under Lafayette; and
by the first week in August he had
taken counsel Of prudence, and estab-
lished himself, seven thousand strong,
at Yorktown, near the sea, his base
of supplies.
The Final Blow.
Then it was that Washington struck
the blow which ended the war.
At last Rochambeau was free to
move; at last French feet was at
hand to block the free passage of the
sea.
The Count de Grasse, with twenty
eight ships of the line, six fTigates.
and twenty thousand men, was in the
West Indies, and in August sent word
to Washington that he was about to
bring his whole fleet to the Chesa-
peake, as Washington had urged. Eth
er the Chesapeake or New York, had
been Washington's prayer to him.
Making as if he were but moving
about New York from north to south

tons chance to crush him was gone.
Great Frederick's Opinion.
Clinton gained no advantage ex-
cept to reach New York with the
wreck of his army" commended the
observant Frederick over sea; amer
lea is probably lost for England"
But great opportunity had been
treacherously thrown away. and the
war dragged heuceforth with every
painful trial Of hope deferred.
French Fleet OF Sandy Hook.
A scant three weeks after Clinton
had reached New York, the Count
d'Estaing was off Sandy Hook, with
French fleet of twelve ships of the
line and six frigates, bringing four
thousand troops. The British feet
within the harbor was barely half as
strong; but the pilots told the eau
tious Frenchman that his larger ships
could not cross the bar, and he turned
away from New York to strike ct
Newport, the only other point now
held by the British in all the country.
That place had hardly been in
vested. however. when Lord Howe ap-
.pesred with astronger fleet than the
French.

and clothing.

The Country Worn Out.
The country seemed not so much
dismayed as worn out and Indifferent;
weary of waiting and hoping; looking
stolidly to see the end come
Washington was helpless. Without
the cooperation Of naval force, it
was impossible to do more than hold
the British in New York. France, it
was true, was bestirring herself again.
On the tenth of July a French fleet
put in at Newport and landed force
Of six thousand men, under Count Ro-
chambeau, a most sensible and cap
able officer, who was directed to join
Washington and put himself entirely
under his command.
But powerful British fleet present
ly made its appearance in the sound;
the French admiral dared not stir; Ro-
chambeau dared not leave him with
out succor; and the reinforcements
that were to have followed out of
France were blockaded in the harbor
of Brest.
Treason 10 Added.
Then, while things stood SO, treason
was added.
Benedict Arnold. the man whom
Washington trusted with deep af-
lection, and whom the army loved for
his gallantry, entered into correspond
ence with the enemy; arranged to give
West Point and the posts dependent
upon it into their hands; and, his trea-
son suddenly detected, escaped with
out punishment to the British sloop of
war that waited in the river for the
British agent in the plot.
Washington was at hand when the
discovery was made. His aides were
breakfasting with Arnold when the
traitor was handed the note which told
him he was found out; and Arnold had
scarcely excused himself and made
good his fight when the commander
in-chief reached the house.
Overcome With Grief.
When Washington learned what had
happened, it smote him so that mighty
sobs burst from him, as if his great
heart would break; and all the night
through the guard could hear him pac-
ing his room endlessly, in a lonely
vigil with his bitter thoughts.
He did not in his own grief forget
the stricken wife upstairs. go to Mrs.
Arnold" he said to one of his officers,
land tell her that, though my duty re-
Quired that no means should be neg
Iected to arrest General Arnold, have
a great pleasure in acquainting her
that he is now safe on board British
vessel"
Arnold had deemed himself wronged
and insulted by congress-but what Of
ficer that Washington trusted might
not? Who could be confided in If such
men turned traitors?
But a sudden turning of affairs
marked the close Of the year.
CORVALLIS had penetrated too far
into the Carolinas; had advanced in
to North Carolina, and was beset, as
Burgoyne had been, by rising Of the
country. He lost twelve hundred men
at Kings mountain October Z.
1880, as Burgoyne had lost a thou
sand at Bennington; and everywhere,
as he moved, he found himself check

had bred-Nathaniel Green, whe had

them; others sober veterns, gentle
men of fortune, men of generous and
noble quality--among the rest the boy
ish Lafayette and the distinguished
Steuben.
Baron Won Steuben had won himself
a place on the great Frederick's stan
in the seven years war, and was of

world was presently to learn to fear.
Steuben at Valley Forge.
He Joined Washington at Valley
Forge and turned the desolate camp
into a training-school of arms, teach
ing, what these troops had never
known before. promptness and precis-
ion In the manual of arms, in massed
and ordered movement, in the use of
the bayonet, the drill and mastery Of
the charge and of the open field.
Neither Washington nor any of his
officers had known how to give this
training. The commander-in-chief had
not even had properly organized staff
till this schooled and thorough Ger
man supplied it, and he was valued in
the camp as he deserved.
Baron Admires Americans.
You say to your soldier, DO this

comrade in Prussia; Il am obliged to

you ought to do that and then he
does it."
But he learned to like and to ad-
mire his new comrades soon enough
when he found what spirit and capa-
city there was in them for the field
of action.
The army came out of its dismal
winter quarters stronger than it had
ever been before, alike in spirit and
discipline; more devoted to its COM
mander than ever, and more fit to
serve him.
An Efficient Army.
At last the change to a system Of
long enlistments had transformed 1t
from levy of militia into an army
steadied by service, unafraid Of the
| field.
The year opened, besides, with a
new hope and new confidence. They
were no longer a body of insurgents
even to the eye of Europe.
News came to the camp late in
the night of the 4th of May (177S) that
France had entered into open alliance
with the United States, and would
send fleets and an army to aid In Sc
curing their independence.
An Alliance Of Power.
Such an alliance changed the whole
face of affairs. England would no
longer have the andisputed freedom of
the seas, and the conquest of her col
onies in America might turn out the
least part of her task in the presence
of European enemies. She now knew
the full significance of Saratoga and
Germantown.
Washington's splendid audacity and
extraordinary command of his re-
sources in throwing himself upon his
victorious antagonist at Germantown
as the closing move of q long retreat
bhad. tnaehed the imagination .andewon
the confidence of foreign soldiers and
statesmen hardly less than the taking
of Burgoype at Saratoga.
