A BRAVE, GIRL. 11 . ’ -- --j - \N INCIDENT OF REVOLU TIONARY DAYS. 1 | HOtV THE DAUGHTER OF GENERAL j SCHUi'LER. OF THE AMERICAN FOR CES, RUSHED INTO,THE MIDST OF A BAND OF TOMES AND INDIANS TO 1 SAVE A CHILD. In the year 1781, while Clinton and Washington were watching each other’s movements near New York; General Schavler, having re signed his command on account of some unjust charges against him, was staying at his house, which then stood alone outside the stock ade or wall of Albany. The Brit ish therefore, seeing his opportunity, sent out John Walter Meyer, with a party of To* ries and Indians, to capture Gen eral Schuyler. When they arrived at the ont skirts of the city, theyriearned from a Dutch laborer that the General’s house was guarded by six soldiers. The Dutchman, the minute the band was out of sight, took to his legs, and warned the General of their approach. Soon after, a servant announced that there was a strange man at the back door who wished to see the General. General Schuyler, understanding the trap, gathered his family in one of the upper rooms, and giving or ders that the doors and windows iie barred, tired a pistol from one of the top story windows to ahum *lic nSighborhofkt. - 9 The guards, who had been loan grug in the shade of a tree started to their feet at the sound of the pis toi; but alas, too late ! for they found themselves surrounded by a crowd of dusky figures, who bound them hand and foot before they had time to resist. And now you can imagine the little group collected in that dark room upstairs; the sturdy Genera) standing resolutely by the door, with his guu iu his hand, and his bljick slaves gathered around him, etjcli with some weapon; and at the olher end of the room the women together, some weeping, some praying. Suddeuly a crash is heard. The band had broken in at one of the windows. At that moment, Mrs. Schuyler, springing to her feet, rushed to wards the door; for she remember ed that the baby, only a few mouths old, having been forgotten in the ituiry of flight, was asleep in its cradle on the first floor. But the General, catching her in his arms, told her that her life was of more value than the child’s, and that, if anv must go, he would. While, however, this generous struggle was going ou, their daughter glid ing past them, was soon at the side of the cradle. All was as black as night in the hall, except for a small patch of light just at the foot of the stairs. Tjiis came from the dining room, where the Indians could be seen pillaging the shelves, pulling down the china, aud quarreling with one another over their illgotton booty. How to get past t osspot was the question but the girl did uot hesi tate. She reached the cradle un observed, and was darting back with her precious burden when, by ill luck odo of the savages happen ed to see her. Whiz! went his sharp tomahawk within a few inch es of the baby’s head, and cleaving an edge of the brave girl’s dress, stuck deep into the stair rail. Just then one of the'Tories, see ing her flit by, and supposing her 'to be a servant, called after her: “Where is your master ?” She stop ped for a moment, called back, “Gone to alarm the town!” and, hurrying on, was soon safe again with her father upstairs. Aud now, very nearly all the plunder having been secured, the baud was about to proceed-to the real ohject of the expedition, when the General, raising one of the up per windows, called out in lusty tones, as if commanding a large body of tnen : “Come on, mv brave fellows! Surround the house! Se cure the villians who are plunder ing !” The cowards knew die voice, | and they each and every one of them took to the woods as fast as their legs conld carry then* ; leaving ! the General in possession of the field. The old Schuyler house looks now as it looked then, except thrft the back wing for the slaves has been torn down, and some few al-1 teratious have been made aronnd j the place ; bat when yon are shown the house, you can still seethe ejant in the stair rail ma le by the In dian’s hatchet more than a hun dred years ago.—St. Nicholas for July- . . —— THE LOIID'S ANSWER. But something stayed his feet; there was a fire m the grate within -rfor the nmht was chill—and it lit Up the little parlor and brought out in startling effects the pictures on the wall. ' But these were as nothing to the picture on the hearth. There, by the soft glow of the fire light, knelt his little child at her j mother’s feet, its small handsclasp jed in prayer, its fair head bowed,- and as its rosy lips uttered each word with childish distinctness the father listened, spell bound to the spot: i “Now I lav me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I sjiould die before I wake, I pray the Lord my sold to take.” Sweet innocence. The man him ; self, who stood there with bearded | lips shut tightly together, and said i that prayer once at his mother’s knee.. Where was that mother |now? The sunset gates had long ago unbarred to let her pass. But the child had not finished; he heard her “God bless mamma, papa and my owuself,”—then there tvas a pause, and she lifted her troubled blue eyes to her mother’s face. “God bless papa,” prompted the mother, softly. "God bless papa,” lisped the lit tle one. “And please send him home so ber.” He could not hear the moth er as she said this, but the child followed in a clear, inspired tone : “God—bless papa—and please send him—home —sober. Ameu.” Mother aud.ohild sprang to their feet iu alarm when the door open ed so suddenly, but they were not afraid when they saw who it was, returned so soon ; but that night, ! when ed up in oe(f~ufrt i a romp with pnpa, she said, in the sleepiest and most contented of voices : ‘ Mamma, God answers most as qnick as the telephone, dosen’t He ?”—Detroit Post and Tribune. —“Was Hauibul a Negro ?” was the question which, a few years ago, disturbed the minds of stu dents of ancient history. The ques tion, we believe, was never satis factorily settled.—Florida Times. Our Jacksonville friend labors under a delusion. Hanibal was an African, but not a Negro. Car thage was settled by Phoenicians, who were no more negroes thau are the pure blooded Egyptians or Arabs. The Phoenician settlers dominated the uative race and hedl them iu subjection. Probability is that Hanibal, if not a pure blooded Phoenician, was of partly Greek origin The ancients cut upon their monuments the Negro type which has not varied to this day. The noble profile of Hannible is a very different type. Carthagouiau wom en are said to have given their loDg hair to make bowstriugs for warriors defending their city. The wool of the negro would not fit this statement. The Carthagenians “left no literature, no monuments, do traces of people no language, with the exceptiou of a few inscriptions on coins and a few verses in one of the comedies of Platus.” Their civilization does not therefore ap pear to have been a great one, but such ns it was, it was not Negro.— Augusta Chronicle. —lrwin Southernor ; A&ispute arose between Frank Harvey and two other negroes by the uame of Edwards, on last Saturday night at the plantation of Mr. E. P. Morton, the Edwards boys kuockiug Frauk down with a club. As soon as Frank could get up, he said he would take his text from “dat” por- tion of scripture “wbar de postal Paul pints his pistol to de Fee sious,” and immediately put his “text” into effect by shooting one in the thigh, and the other in the arm. Cause, “too much deadfall poisou.” —Does it pay," asks a corres pondent, “for a minister to take a a three months’ vacation ?” Does it? Well, we snould say so. There are some churches of which we wot where we think it would pay the pastor to take about 13 months va cation every year aud then put off coming back to the last minute with a hope of missing the train. —As there is nothing in the world great but man, there is nothing truly great but character.

THOUGHTS I3 A COURT HOUSE. : A couple of week* ago, we of the Twin Stacy spent sotoe boors in the court room of the good old county of Greene) Afabat a Quar ter of a century has glided away since we were in that room. As we sit there, the mind naturally fell iuto a contemplation of the won derful changes that Have taken place within that period. There was the same room, the same walls, windows, doors. But hew chang e’sc! Here were our “Breth jren in black,” pressing close up to | the railing of the Bar, where whilom ! me never dared appear, except as Ihe came to perform some menial seryice. Dnsky fdi ms were flitting to and fruity the boom where the grand jury sat in mysterious con clave, or were from the witness' stand making more dim And ob scure in the minds of traverse ju rors, the circutafctancee. about wtyich they had sworrito tell the tru^h. — But besides these reflections which we might have had in any court room of our Southern country, there were some thoughts suggest ed here which could have arisen no where else. Looking.'over the law yers the juries, the spectators, only a face now anil."then Was to be dis cerned, which was here, a quarter of a century ago. Within the Bari where we then’saw Gone and Daw son and Wingfield and Foster and Cobb, now figure men who were boys when these great men were fighting the battles Gf giants. Upon the Bench, which' Was graCefl b* Hardeman and Harris, eitS one who seemingly but a short timte ago' was our school-fellow. All these may be the equals, possibly the su periors of those whom we iecollect as the actors here. But they”can never appear so great, as w ere to our imagination, these grand sen iors of our youth. No scene’could now transpire within that ohamber which could so thrill ns with glow ing admiration as when, thirty years ago, just as the glow of sun set was fading iu the West, the slender form of the Representative of the eighth Congressional District arose, and with Bible id band, ad vanced to the jury, and iu tones of pathetic power, called on them to become twelve cities of refuge for a young man who Lad unwittingly slain his fellow, and was looking to them for protection against those who sought his blood. Never can we forget how we hung for an hour upon every word of that wonderful man, wifh an interest approaching what we would have felt had pur own fate hung upon the issue. Sit ting here as tie did at the same window, all the scene—-the intent throng, the weeping jury, th* poor pale-faced prisoner, the eloquent pleader, all arose before the mind with such vividness as to sweep away all consciousness of the eveuts that were passing. We for got the poor colored woman who was on trial for burning a church, while almost living over again an hour that for nearly thirty years has been a portion of history. The eloquence of Hart, Reid and Lewis may not have been unworthy of that which then sounded in that chamber—but it fell unheeded by by ears that Memory was causing to ring with the tones of a voice which, whether invective or in pa thos, moved us no other voice ever could. —Sunny South. -- ■■ .■ —A terrible story was told a couple of weeks ago in the dispatch es of an affray among cowboys in a dark room on the frontier of Tex as. A half-dozen of the partici pants were killed. Only two escap ed. Auother equally terrible story 1 is told of an affray among negroes iu Natohitoches parish, Louisiana. The dispatch says a crowd of col ored men quarreled in a saloon. A pitched battle with* dirks ensued. James Stand stabbed Isaac'Robin son and the latter bled to death. A son of Robinson then shot Stand dead. Ezra Robinson then shot and killed two others. Before the melee was over six were dead and four fatally wounded. Affrays like these make us wonder whether wo live iu a civilized country. —The power of Christian char acter shining through the life of a Christian man is strikingly illus trated in the following incident: “An Afghan once spent an hour in the company of Dr. William Marsh of Eugland. When he heard that Dr. Marsh was dead he said : ‘His religion shall now be my religion ; his God shall be my God; for I must go where he is and see his face again.’ ” —Mme Modjeska never rips up, destroys or gives away any of her stage ilresses, but sends thorn all home to Poland to bo stored away for “coming generations to ponds* over. ’
