SELBOTIONS;. ilo.T General- Miuiou Got III. Utiles. Charley Hampton, tlio hero of till, .story, wnsun ancestor of Gen eral wade Hampton, who has just ticeu elected Governor ot the State ol'South Oaroliua. The close of the year 1780 was a sad period (or America. The Brit ish lu-ld the country from Charles ton to the upper Santee, and in order to complete their conquest hud established a chain of posts throughout the Stuto, each of which wad strongly fortified and defended by a guod garrison. Or ganized resistance to the .British there was none. On tho American side the principal side actors in the struggle were the men who com posed the famous “Light Brigade" of General Marion. , The-favorite rendezvous of Ma rion was at Soow Island. This is a piece of high river swamp, as it is called in the Carolines, and was surrounded on three sides by water so as to make it almost impregna ble. Here Marion had his camp. From this fastness he issued forth at pleasure to range the enemy's granaries' or captuit a straggling party of his troops. Secure in his retreat, he had no fear of pur suit, In the city- of Charleston the des potism of the British was at its' height, the proud spirited people of the capital were held down by a grinding tyranny. Many 1 of them were still open and uncompromis ing in their hostility to the British while others^ thinking they could best serve the cause in that way, affected aikearty. submission to the conquerenfand were seemingly the most loyal of all King George's all that passed within the British lines, au(f many a disaster of the British was in this Way directly attributed to them. One of these persons was a lady of fine sooial position and great wealth. Indeed,_ there were few persons in all Oharlestnn over whoso submission to thecrowu the British were moro elated than they were over that of Mrs. Anno Gar den. She was a young and -beau tiful widow, just twenty-five, and for several years had been the standing toast to the beaux of the Carolines. When tho British took the city.she was on6 of tho first to submit to the King, nud since then tier house hud been tho favurite gathering place of the red-ooat gentry. Mauy of Mrs. Gardeu's friends, who wore staunch patriots to the Inst, quietly cut tier acquain tance, and shook their heads lu si lent indignation und when they dared to speak at all it was to con. deinu the widow's treachery, tiie camp ofMurieu, however, ther was one cheek that was kindled with pride and not with shame when tho lady's name was men tioned ; and as for Gen. Marlon he could have told tales that would have stuitled tho widow's Charles ton friends, hud it been safe to do While Marion wns creating so great an excitement hoyoud the gates of Charleston, Mrs. Garden resolvtid to'give a. ball. Prepara tions were made on un extensive scale, and the loyal element of the city was in high feather. The splendid mansion of tho young widow was dressed with Dowers from cellar to garret, and blazed with light on the evening appoint- ted for the assembly, and the band of the garrison discoursed sweel musio to tho assembled crowds The entertainment was at its height, when the crowd neur the door suddenly parted,,and a young man onino forward hur'riodly. He was tall and splendidly formed aud carried himself erect, with a proud, martial nir. He was dress od in the uniform of an officer ol the Tory legion, and his general appearance was that of a mun who had ridden far and. hard during the day, As the widow saw him her face flushed and then grew deadly pale, and she sprang for ward with a ory of alarm. “What are yon doing here?’ she asked hurriedly. ‘You will see,” he answered quickly in a low tone. “Only, for Heaven’s sake, swear black and blue to wlmt I may say I” Then he added, calmly, and in a louder tone; “You seo oousiD, I have come hack to my allegiance. “I am delighted to hear it,'* she replied, warmly, taking tho hint at once. “I novor thought your heart would cling to the rebel cause.” “Faith,” he said, laughing, “if my heart had clung to it my stom ach would have driven me from it. I’m not fond of starving, my fair cousin, and King George lives well you know. • Hereafter Thomas Wilson lives and dies a loyal mao.” Col. Watson had been standing by duringthisennyorsatio'n, watch ing the couple closely. Now lie lie stepped forward to the lady’s subjects. . Yet, while the English . saw this and congratulated them-1 81 ... „ selves upon tho good effect it would [ 10 18 11,8 gentleman? have un the Colonists, these very as ^ e ^ somewhat sharply, “loyalists'’ kept'the American, seems wonderfully familiar." commander constantly infornidd ol “Oh,” replied tho ‘ he ing, lie is my cousin, I.icutcuaut Thomas Wilson, and, us you will perceive, he is in his Majesty’s ser vice. “You seem rather careless of your dress, considering tho occa sion, sir,” said the Colonel tartly. He was annoyed at tiie groat in terest which the ludy b'ud shown ttye raw entnor. “My business must lie my ex cuse, Colonel;” said tho young man, respectfully. “I am the hearer of a letter from Major Gain ey, and my orders were to loso no time in delivering it. I have rid den hard- all day, sir, and upon rcachiug your head-quarters learn ed of vour presence hero. This In dy being iny cousin, I Imd no hes itation in coming here nt once, trusting for pardou to tho urgence of my mission.” As he spoke lie handed to tho Colonel a scaled letter. Watson took it hastily and broke tiie seal As ho read it a smile of satisfac tion overspread his features. SThis is vorjj good,’’ lie said gleolully. “Gniucy is picking up recruits by tho hundreds. He wants 400 rifles, GO sabers, and some ammunition at onec. Will I send them?' To bo sure I will. Have you got .any wagons, Lieu tenant?’’ "No, sir,” replied tho young man, “Major Guiney wnsulrnid to send tiieiu down. There’s no know ing when or whole you limy meet that Swamp For .and his sneaking cut-throats." “Very good," said the Colonel, i'll furnish you with four wagous and a guard of fifty men. Yju will stat-t at sunrise in tiie morn ing, Lioutenunt. Call ut my quar ters at midnight, and you shall have the necessary orders. Now sir, you hud better take a rest, as you will need it." First let me offer him some re freshments,” said, t ho widow quickly, “lie is tired and him gry, I know, mid no guest must leave my house in such u state.' Hcturn quickly, tln-n,” said tho Coionel. “1 shall bo uisuru- Ide while you are gone.’’ The young mun offered his arm to tiie lady, uud they loft tho ball room ; but instead of going to the dining-room she led him straight to her chamber, and thon, lucking the door, said anxiously: ‘For heaven’s sake, Charles, what is the meaning oi this? The Young man did notunswer verbally, but, catching her to his breast kissed her passiouutuly, and to be frank the young widow did not resist hint. 'Itmentis,” he said at last, in reply to her repeated questions, that we want arms and come for them." What else they said matters not now, bat before they separated Mrs. Garden seemed very well sat isfied with the young man’s expla nation.—They then repaired to tho supper-room, where the Lieuten ant found ample refreshment, and the lady returned to tho ball-room where Col. Watson was impatient ly awaiting her. At midnighttheLieuteuantcnll ed at head-quarters, and faithful to his promiso, the Colonel was there. The necessary orders for the delivery, of the arms and am- munjtidn and wagons to Liouten- «nt Thomas Wilson, of tho “loyal legion,’’were made out and tho Colonel,also placed in the young man’s hand a sealed letter of in structions to Major Guiney. Tho rest of the night was spent in pro curing the desired articles, and at sunrise the next morning Lieutun- ant Wilson, with his wagons and their contents, escorted by a guard of fifty men, set out for the “High Hills of Santee,” where the Tory Major’s headquarters were loca ted. Tho wagons rnd their escort made good time and by sunset wore forty miles from Charleston. Tiie sun was scarce an hour high when Lieutenant Wilson ordered a halt for tho purpose of Dumping for tho night. Tiie mounted men fasten ed their horses to the trees, nud re moving their saddles, prepared to cook their evening meal. Tho teams were unhitched from tho wti-, guns and tlje cumninud busied themselves in making preparations fur a comfortable night. Evory one wns busy aud no one noticed tliut while tiie uirnngements were in progross Lieutenant Wilson Imd drawn off from tho party and dis appeared in the woods that border ed tiie road. Suddenly there was a oraekling in the lirushwoed. which caused the British troops to spring to their feet ill alarm. As they dill so, a voice, which sound ed not unlike flint of the young Licutennnt shouted loudly: “Surrender or you are ail dead men !" Gen. Marion secured his prison ers, together with tiie arms, am munition, wagons and horses, and set out, after a rest of a few hours, fur “Anew Island." At the re quest of tho bogus Lieutenant Wil son, ha sent hack one oi tho red coats to Ohnrlaston with a note to Watson, injjrnilng him of tho trick that laid been played on him by the young officer, who so far from being a Lieutenant in the Tory legion, was noue other than tiie famous Charles Hampton, a eaptian in Marion's brigmlo, who planned and carried out the affair successfully, thanking the Colonel fur the excellent weapons and oth er muterinl lie had sent him, and promising to do good sorviee with them. The British commander wus fu rious when lie rend tiie note, utid saw the hoax of which lie lud bean tiie victim. He went in haste to Mrs. Garden, but the fair widow had sailod for England. Hu was oompellod to swallow his mortifi cation in silence, and a few years later, when tho war wns over, his chagrin was not a little inoreasod by the tidings which readied him that Mrs Garden imd married the young officer who Imd tricked him out of his rifles. uo-ileiL Tim Lucky Lout One evening a poor man and hie son, a little boy, sat by tiie wayside near the gate of an old town in Germany. The fatlior took out a loaf of bread whiob lie had bought in the town and broko it, and gave half to his boy. “Not so, fatlior," said tho boy ; “I shall not cat un til after you. You have beeu work ing hard all day for Small wages, to support me; and you - must be very hungry, I shall wait till you nro done." “You speuk kindly, my son.” replied tiie pleased lather; your love for me docs me more good tlmu uiy Kind ; and those eves of yours rouiiud me of your dcur mother, wiiv has left us, aud who do ; and indeed, my boy, you have beeu a great strougth and comfort to mo; hut now as I have tiie first morsel to please you, it is your turn now to cat,” “Thank you, father ; hut break tills piece iu two, and take you a little more, for you sec the loaf is not largo ; anil you require much more than I do.” “I shall divide the loaf for you my hoy ; but eat it 1 shall not.

But as they cut one portion of tho loaf Micro fell out several pieces of gold of great value. The lluie hoy gave a shout of Joy, and was springing, for- •rard lo grasp tha unexpected treas ure, when ho was pulled hack by his father. “My son, my sou!’ ho cried, •‘do not touch tho money; It Is not ours.” “Hut whoso Is It father, lf.it Is not ours.,’ “I know not, as j ot, to whom it be longs j hut probahlyjlt was put there by the baker, through sumo mistake.
