Went Down Again

Rev Long Preacher was rector OF
the little village, and one morning, 60
ing up the steps Of his church TO the
morning service, he was accosted by
stately old lady in difficulties with
her breathing.
Pardon me-" she said, "but would
you do me the favor of assisting me
up the steps ?"
Certainly, madam" replied the
rector, giving her his arm.
They reached the door when the old
woman, pausing for a few moments
rest, asked:
Pardon me once more, but do you
happen to know who is preaching this
morning ?"
The rector, madam" answered that
worthy.
ooh" calculated the old woman.
Then might ask you to do me yet
another favor ?"
Certainly" replied the wondering
cleric; "what can I do for you?"
would you" said the old woman,
"be so good as to assist me down the
steps again ?"

What She HODed.

Not long ago, the Orthodox clergy
man of New England town was called
from his study in the evening, to marry
young couple who were waiting in the
parlor, bent upon matrimony. The
young people appeared to be from a
humble walk in life but were beaming
with happiness.
Al the conclusion of the ceremony
there was pause of some length. The
bride looked inquiringly at the groom,
and he gazed back at her with happy
but somewhat vague expression Of
countenance.
AT last the bride stepped forward in
a hesitating manner, and dropping an
elaborate courtesy, said, "We-we are
very much obliged to you, sir, and we
nope we shall be able to retalatew

The Guard kept the long vigil at

The Guard kept the long vigil at
Valley Forge during the winter OF
l777-78 and endured the same hard
ships and suffering that fell to the 10,
Of the patriot army. With the COM
ing Of spring and the receipt Of cloth
ing and supplies new life was infused
into the army. When Baron Won Steu-
ben arrived the Guard was selected to
receive tactical training at his hands
Washington ordered that one hundred
additional men be attached to the
Guard temporarily, and with the aid
OF an interpreter Baron Won Steuben
undertook to train them. All the in
spectors Of the army were required to
attend each drill, and the Commander
in Chiefs Guard then became the
school OF instruction for the army.
Since the men were experienced SOL
diers, it required only a few weeks
of intensive training to make the Guard
worthy model When the Marquis
de Chastellux visited Washington's
headquarters he wrote in his journal {:
when one sees the battalion OF the
Generals Guards encamped within the
precincts of his house; nine wagons,
destined to carry his baggage, ranged
in his court; a great number Of grooms
taking care Of fine horses belonging to
general officers and their aides-de-
camp; when one observes the perfect
order that reigns within these pre-
cincts, where the guards are exactly
stationed, and where the drums beat
at alarm, and particular retreat, one
is tempted to apply to the Americans
what Pyrrhus said to the Romans"
From the beginning the guard had
its share of fighting as a unit. When
the British army evacuated Phila-
delphia and started across New Jersey
Captain Gibbs was detached with 4
large part Of the Guard and joined
the celebrated regiment Of Virginia
Rihemen under Daniel Morgan and
took part with it in the Battle of
Monmouth
When the Guard had been materially
increased it was regarded as of suf-
fcient Importance to deserve a COM
mander of higher rank, and Captain
Gibbs was promoted to be major. He
continued in command until 1881 when
he was again promoted and assigned
TO the Second Massachusetts, Regiment.
After that the Commander in Chiefs
Guard was commanded by Capt. Be-
aleel Howe.
Soon after the change Of commanders
Washington was engaged in reconnoit-
ring the enemy's works near Kings
Bridge, close to New York, when for
aging party of the British, fifteen hun
dred strong, discovered him. In the
encounter that followed the detachment
OF the Guard accompanying him suffer
ed many casualties; one lieutenant, one
sergeant and fourteen men were wound.
ed and three Of them died. One man
was missing, presumably either killed
or captured.

of the Guard named Hickey, who had
deserted from the British army sew
eral years before the war and who
had taken up his residence IN Amer
lea, had entered into the conspiracy.
He had the confidence Of Washington,
and to him was finally intrusted the
work Of poisoning his commander. He
knew that Washington was fond Of
green peas and planned to put poison
ino a dish OF them. He approached
the housekeeper with his scheme.
Apparently falling in with his plan,
she privately cautioned Washington.
Privates Hickey and Lynch were i'm
mediately, arrested. Three other men,
bers of the Guard were placed in con-
finement, one OF whom was Green, the
drummer, to whom had been assigned
the part OF stabbing the general A
court-martial was promptly convened,
and Hickey was the first to be tried.
His conviction and execution by the
provost marshal in the presence OF
the troops is fully set forth in the Of
fetal orders of the army.
! 1t was peculiarly Notifying to the
patriot army that the first military
execution should be that Of member
of the corps expressly selected to guard
the commander In chief. In making
public the sentence of the court-mar-
tia Washington ordered that "the
said Thomas Hickey, being so con-
victed, has been sentenced to death by
being hanged by the neck till he shall
be dead; which sentence, by the I'M
animous advice Of the general officers
of the army, have thought proper 10

Washington's Bodyguard.

WashlngtonS Bodyguard.
At an early period Of the American
Revolution headquarters guard was
recognized as necessary for the Sc
curity Of valuable records and papers
and for the protection Of the person
Of General Washington. Commanding
officers of regiments were directed 10
furnish four men, each man to be Sc
lected for his honesty and good be-
havior. The men we're required TO be
handsomely and well made, from five
feet eight inches 10 FIVE feet ten inch
es in height and "clean and spruce"
The organization Of the Guard was ef-
fected on March IL, l776, with Capt.
Caleb Gibbs, of Massachusetts, in COM
mand, and with Washington's nephew,
George Lewis, as the only subaltern.
The title conferred on the new organi-
zation, by which it was known
throughout the Revolutionary War, was
the Commander in Chiefs Guard.
Any orders communicated through the
officers Of the Guard were required TO
be accepted by the officers of the army
as il regularly conveyed by aides-de-
camp.
The following year George Lewis
was authorized to organize cavalry
troop to perform the mounted duty
at headquarters. He was appointed
captain and Robert Randolph lieuten-
ant Of the new troop which was assign
ed as cavalry Of the Commander in
Chiefs Guard. At the same time the
infantry Guard was reorganized by as
signing to it Virginians OF good char
acter who were between FIVE feet nine
inches and five feet ten inches in
height. Washington in communicate
ing his wishes to the colonies wrote !:
'iou will send me none but natives
and men of some property, il you
have them must insist that in max
ing this choice you give no intima-
ton OF my preference for natives, as
| do not want to create any invidious
distinction between them and the
foreigners"
Washington had serious justification
for narrowing his selection so that
none except Americans should have
the privilege of being on duty al his
headquarters. A few months after the
Guard had been organized ne mD@ed
his headquarters from Cambridge 10
New York City. The loyal:sts. or
Tories. in the city had formed a secret
organization and had concoc!ed a
scheme to capture Washington by cor
rupting some of the members of the
