In tlio shades of tho Wissnhockcn woods, not moro than half a milo from tho Schuylkill, there stood in tho time of tho Revolution, n quaint old fabrio, built of mingled logs and stone, and cnoirolcd by n pnlisado wall It bad boon erected in tho earlier days of William Penn, perhaps some years before tho great apostle of poaoo first- trod our shores, as a block-house, intended as a dcfcnco against the Indians. And now it stood with its many roofs, Its nu merous chimneys, its massive squaro windows, its varied front of logs nnd stdne.lts encircling wall, through wh.ioh admittance was gained by a lapge and stoutly built giicb ; it stood in tho dot of tho wood, with ago-worn trees enclos ing its veteran outlines on every side. From the western window you oould obtain a glanco of tho Schuylkill waves, wliilo n largo easement in tho southern front commanded a view of tho winding road, ns it Buuk out of view, under the shade of thickly clustered boughs, into n deep hollow, not more than ono hundred yards from the mansion. Here, from tho southern casomont, on one of tlioso balmy days which look in upon tho dreary autumn, towards tho close of Novem ber, a farmer’s daughter was gazing with di lating eyes and half clasped hands Well might she gaze earnestly to tho south and listen intensely for tho slightest sound.— Her brothers woro away with tho army of Washington, nnd her father, a grim voternn— ho stood six feet and threo inches in his stock ings—who had manifested,his love for tho rod- coat invaders in many a desperate encounter, had that morning left her alone in the old man sion, alone in this small chamber, in chargo of some amunition intended for n band of some bravo .farmers, about to join tho hosts of free dom. Even as she stood there, gazing out of the southern window, a faint glimpse *f sun light from the faded leaves abovo, ponfing over her mild fucc, shaded by clustering brown hnir, there, not ten paces from |ior side, were seven loaded rifles nnd a keg of powder. Leaning from tho casement, she listened with every nerve quivering with suspense to tho shouts of tho combatants, the hurried tread of armed men echoing from the south Thcro was something very beautiful in that picture l Tho form of the young girl, framed by the squaro massive window, the contrast be tween tho rough timbers that enclosed her and that round face,.the lipspavting,tho linrel eyes dilating, nnd tho cheek warming nnd flushing with hope and fear ; thoro was something vory low are joined by a party of some twenty ogees, who, clad in their robber uniform, cm a rushing from tho woods, and with ono bou J aro looping from tho summit of the wall 1 “ Quick, Boss, my riflo !•” And look thore — even while the voter i stood looking out upon his foes—the bra e girl, for, slender in form, nnd wildly benut\r^ in fnoo, sho is a bravo girl, n "Hero Womtu —bad managed, as if instinotive impulse, load a riflo. She handed It to her father, m then loaded another and another. Wasn’t tli a beautiful sight? A fuir young girl, graspli powder and ball, with tho ramrod rising t falling in her slender fingers 1 r Now look down An tho wall again! Th fbgecs aro wimbing over its summit; ago 1 horrible cry, and another wounded man b. pling down upoq his dead and dying comrade] But now look ! A smoke rises there ; n f blazing up around the wall ; they have fi tho goto. A moment, and tho bolt and b will be burnt from its sockets—the passage bo freo ! Now is tho fiery moment of tho man’s Irial While his bravo daughter loai he continued to fire, with that deadly aim,! now—oh, horror ! he falls, with a musket bi driven into bis breast 1 The daughter’s ou\ stretched arms received the father, as with tl< blood spouting from his wound, ho topples ba<K from tho window. Ah, it is a sad and terrible picture. That old man writhing thero on tho oak! floor, the young daughter bending over hf| tho light from the window streaming ovor tier father’s gray hairs whilo tho ancient furniture of the small chamber affords a dim back ground to the scene. Now hark! The sound of axes nt tho ball door—shouts—hurrahs—curses ! “ We havo the old rebel at last!” Tho otd man raises his head nt that sound— makes an effort to rise ; clutches for a riflo, and then falls again, his oyes glaring as the fierce pain of that wound quivered through his heart. . l - Now watch the movements of that daughter Silently sho loads n rifle ; silently she rosts the barrel against tho bead of that powder-keg, and then, placing her finger on tho trigger, stands over her father’s form, while the shouts of tho enraged soldiers oarao thundering from the stairs. Yes, they have brokon the hall door to fragments ; thoy aro in possession of the old block-houso ; they arc rushing toward tho old ohamber with murder in their heartB, From the Ncio York Vieotjune. flocstlcks Attends the Performance of bis Hew Play *, At last tho eventful day arrived for the per- fi.rmonco of my new piny ; it had been cut out and *nd filled in ; nnd curtailed in some parts, elongated in others ; /had altered it, the man- jgers had altered it, nnd tho actors had altered lomo and forgot the rest, so that nt Inst it had ibout as much resemblance to tlie original picco is it did to n burlesqno ou Romeo nnd Juliet. Tho nery we thought would operate, though here was an obstinate mouutnin which, for n one time, refused to inovo to slow music ns it Ijiplit to ; nnd a “ sthset” full of omnibuses _jgflnm wagons which usually declined giving »y to “this uninhabited forest, where foot of iian nover trod before”—and nn ocean scene hieh would not get out of tho way when wo anted a view of a kitchen with a range nnd largo assortment of ton kettles to occupy the iack ground—but wo finally made all work mooth ; wo coaxed the mountain, we hitched nothcr ropo to tho street, nnd we put lard oil i tho troubled ocean. It took some time to nch the men how to mnnago tho scenic effects it was threo days beforo the man would jhundcr in tho right place, nnd even then ho hould persist in making tho earthquake swal low the wrong man. It took no little management to mnko the jrcbestrn play quick music for tho dances, and dow for the deaths, instead of vico versa—the ader for n week insisting on performing a end ntaroh when tho characters wanted to pin in n country dnnoe, nnd in playing n horn- ipo when a wounded hero was dragging his [uw length along, intending to expire when his 'oho enmo, with the propor agonies. But at last everything was ready—tho dress- wero made, the actors knew ns much of thoir iarts as they wopld if they had studied them Sr a year—tho posters were printed, nnd the ight onmc—fifteen little boys with thick boots wero furnished with freo tickets nnd sent into Bio, galleries, with accurate instructions to np- jJaud at the proper places, nnd all the ar rangements wero mndo to havo tv. thing go off; well. ‘ »-In the afternoon I heard a painful rumor to the effect that my once friend, Bomb L.

Here somebody threw nn egg, at which Miss Smithcrs beat nn instant retreat, hut Jones valiantly drew his sword and stnrtcd to climb the gas fixtures to get into the gallery and murder the miscreant.

As tonished to pee a woman of her appearance alone on the highway at such nn hour, he stop ped nnd questioned her, nnd sho, nftcr somo hesitation, said in a soil voice : “Ah, sir, I am very unhappy. My husband, in consequence of a quarrel wo happened to lmvo, lias just flung me out of a postebaiec, and I nm now going I know not where.” The tradesman snid she wouIJ do well to go to Brivcs, tho nearest town, nnd offered her a scat by liis tide, but she said, with nu nir of great modesty, that she could not think of ac companying a perfect stranger. The trades man, however, insisted, nnd, nftcr a while, she got. into tlio gig. The conversation that ensued soon assumed a tender lone, nnd the tradesman ventured to press the lmnd of the Indy, and to take a peep iute her face, which, from whnt ho thonght was modesty, she had kept averted from him. lie then saw two fierce eyes and a rough beard, and the sight struck him with terror. After a moment’s reflection, however, ho let drop his pocket hundkerebiet into the rond, nnd said— “Madnmo, I must stop for a moment to pick up my pocket handkerchief; but no, my horse is so vicious that I cannot leave him ; is it tak ing too great a liberty to ask you to pick up my handkerchief for mo ?” “Not at all, sir,” said the pretended lady, jumping from tho gig, and nt the same time the tradesman, whipping liis horse, drove off as fust ns lie possibly could. A basket left by tho bandit in the gig was found to contain a poi- gnard and two pistols.
