A MASONIC ANNCDOTK OF TUB REVOLUTION.
IhiocI Inmcl, tiro husband of llto lady
woBonoof tlio Committee of Sufoty.—
IIis rosidcncu was near Wilmington,
Delaware. On a visit to a mother’s
dwelling, Ins found it in possession of
several soldiers quartered on the family.
While the furoily were sealed at supper,
tlio bouse was surrounded trod Israel
token prisoner as a rebel, lie convinced
them of their error by snyinait was bis
brother Joseph, This was done merely
to Kuiti time.
Having bid adieu to bis family, Mr.
Israel set forth on his Journy homeward,
lie arrived only to bo u prisoner. Tlio
loyalists who had given him the counter
sign had betrayed the secret oT his expe
dition. lie and his wife’s brother wore
immediately seized and carried on board
the frigate Roebuck, lying in the Delu-
wato u few miles from the borough of
Wilmington, and directly opposite his
bam, in order to be tried ns spies.
Being one ot the Committee of Safety,
the position of Mr. Israel under such an
accusation was extremely critical. Oa
board the ship ho was treated with the
utmost Borvurity. His watch, silver shoe
buckles, and various articles of clothing
wero taken from lam ; his bed was n
coil of ropes oa deck, without covering
from the bitter cold of the night air,
aad to all np| onrancos his fate was ul
ready decided—the testimony of his To
ry neighbors was then strong against
him. .Several wero ready to favour to
the fact that, while the loyal population
of the country willingly furnished their
share of the provisions needed by the
ships of witr, lie had been hourd to say
repeatedly that ho 'would sooner drive
his cattle as a pioscnt to (Jcncrul Wash
ington, than rcoiivo thousands of dollars
in British gold for them.”
On being informed of this speech tho
commander gave orders that a detach
ment ot soldiers should proceed to drive
tho rebel's cuttle, then grazing in a
rnoadow in fall view, down to the liver
and slaughter them iu tho fuoo of tho
prisoners.
What, inonnwhile, must huvubcon tho
feelings of tho young wife, herself about
to become u mother, win n her husband
and brother were bring led away in her
very sight? The faun was a utile or
more from the river, but there was noth
ing to intercept the view, tho ground
from tho meadow sloping down to the
water. Mis. IhiuuI was at this poriod
about niuetcon years of nge, and is do-
set ibed as of middle height and slight,
but symmetrical figure, of fair complex-
tion,with clenrbluo eyesand dark Imir,her
maimers umdest ami retiring. Hhu was
devoted to hur family and her domestic
concerns. Jt needed tlio trying scenet
by which she was biu routided tu dovol
op tlio heroism which, in times more
peaceful, might have bt en unmarked by
ihose who know her most intimately.
From her position on tho lookout sho
saw tho soldiers land from the ship,
shoulder arms and advance toward the
meadow. In an instant sho diviiol
t!s«*ir piir|to».o and her resolution w as tu
ken.
With a Is.y eight years old, whom she
bade follow hur at las utmost speed, slut
started tin determined to baffle tho ene
my and save thoeuttlo at tho peril of
her life.* Down went the hnrs, nrol fol
lowed by tint boy, she ran to drive the
herd to tho open lot. Tho soldiers call
ed out repeatedly for her to desist, and
threatened if sho did not, to (ire on her.
‘Firo nwtiy,* cried tho hemic woman.
They fired. The balls flew thickly
around her. The frightoned cattle run
in every direction over tho field.
•This way I' she called to tho buy
nothing daunted ; ‘this way Joe. Head
them there ! Stop them .fuel Uo not let
ono csenpo I*
And not onJ did < scope I Tho bullets
fired by the cowardly lli itish soldiery
continued to whistlo around her person.
The little hoy paralyzed with terror, fell
to the ground. Sho seized him by the
arm, lilted him over tho fonco, then drove
the caltlo into the barn yard, Tlio as
sailants, bullied by the courage of a wo
man and probably not daring, for fear
of the neighbors, to invade tho farm
houses retraced their steps, and return
ed disappointed to the ship.
All this Bceno passed in sight of tho of
ficers of tho Roebuck and the two priso
ners. The agony ol suspense and fear
ondurod by tho husband and brother,
when they saw tho danger to which tho
wife exposed horself, may be belter im
agined than described. It may also bo
conceived how much they exulted in her
triumph.
The trial was heard on board the ship.
The Tory witnesses were examined in
duo form, and it was but too evident
that the life of tho prisoner was in great
danger. A kind hearted sailor sought
an opportunity of speaking in privute
with Mr. Israel und asked him if he
wero a freemason. Tho answer was in
the affirmative. The sailor then inform
ed him that n J-odge was held cm ship
board, and the officers who belong to it
wero to meet that night.
The prisoners were brought up before
the judges, and permitted to answer to
the chutges against them. Mr. Israel,
in bold, but respectful lunguflge, rotated
his story, nud ncknnwledged his secret
visit to Philadelphia, not in the diame
ter of a spy, but to carry relief to his
suffering parent and family. He also
acknowledged having said its testified,
that he would rather give his cattle to
Washington or destroy them than sell
them for British gold. This trait of
magnanimity might not have boon so
appreciated by tho enemies of his coun
try ns to operato in his favor but watch
ing his opportunity, he mado to the
commanding officer tho secret sign of
Masonic brotheihood. Tho effect was
instantly observable. The officer’s stern
countenance softened j his change or
opinion and that of the other judges be
came evident ; and after some further
xnminntion, tho court was broken up.
The informants hung their heads in
shnmo at the severe rebuke of tho court
at tho cowardly conduct in betraying
and preferring chargfas against an hon
orable man, bound on n mission of love
and duty to his aged mother. Tho ac
quitted prisoners wero dismissed, loaded
with presents of fine handkerchiefs, ami
other articles not to he purchased at
that time, for the intrepid wife, and
were sent on shore in a rp'endid barge,
as n mark of special honor from tho offi
cer in command.
8])(‘cintt:ito of li’i»li Wit
Tho quick witledness and love of repar
tee of tho Irish is proverbial, and is im
mediately noticeable, especially in con
trast to the more stolid English. “No
Irishman,” ns one of them once remark
ed with pride, “need over ho told a joke
twlco to appreciate it,” yet such iu un
fortunately quite often the case In ling-
land. A few specimens will show that
tho national faculty has not degener
ated. A merchant being applied to by
an agent to ndvortisc in a certain news
paper, refused on tho ground that if lie
did so he would bo pestered to death
by other agents on similar errands —
Oh I never you mind,” answered the
ready ugont, “you just givo mo an ad
vertisement, and 1 ’ll put it where no ono
can see it I” A well-known manufactur
er, mooting two factory women, each
with a child In her arms, asked them in
a joking way which was the prettier ba
by ? “An’ sure your honor,” was tho in
stant reply from ono ot the women, “its
between ’em I” To her mind compnri-
rons wero odious. A little girl at a Sun-
d.iy-schcol defined a camel as “some
thing ihut goes through tho eye of u
needltf.”
Tho Into Archbishop Whately was a
noted wit ami punster, and, ns during
tho war ovory “little story’’ was credited
to Mr. Lincoln, so In Dublin, tho popu
lar saying, or bon-inot < f the day was
always “tho Archbishop's last” Grout
numbers of these are oxtnt t; hut a low
will serve as specimens. Desii ing to nf
fold a friend an example of wit of tho
lower class, the Archbishop went out in
front of his house w here somo men were
repairing the road and asked ono of
them ; “if tho devil should come down
Iu re this moment which would lie take,
you or me ?” Tho man, a Roman Catho
lic, mul aware wlm lie w as talking to,
hesitated a moment, and then replied .
“1 think he’d take me, sir, tor he’d nl
w ays be sure of you I” This expresses
the general feeling of Catholics toward
I’rotestonts, and though said in jest, is
significant. Local sayings are more
common, “The people of Dublin,” the
Archbishop remarked, "atc moet incon
sistent; they go to-dny for a sermon,
nml to morrow for a novel.” Mr. Day
being a noted preacher, and Mr. Mor
row having a circulating library.—
Again, lie is reported to have suggest
ed that the text for the first sermon
prcuchcd in St. Patrick’s Cathedral, af
ter tho munificent additions «f Mr.
Guinness, should bo (in consideration of
that gentleman’s business) from "Ho-
brows.” Though very proud of these
witticisms, and fond of. quoting them,
most “tall” stories are set down to tho
credit of Atnerieuns, to whom tho palm
for “draw ing tho long-bow,” is generally
awarded. Artemus NVuid arid his asso
ciates find a ready sale; und, indeed,
have scarcely a rival more modern than
Dean Swift, whoso jokes aro still in com
mon circulation, with some bf Father
Trout's also.
Out of Heart.
“Why so sad, Ernest?" said the
young wife to her htisbnhd, affectionate
ly twining her arms around his nock and
kissing him.
lie looked up with a sud smile and
replied :
"I am almost out of heart, Mary. 1
think of all pursuits, a profession iH tho
worst. Here I httvo been, week after
wook, nml month alter month—and 1
may say year after year—waiting for
practice, yet without success. A law
yer may volunteer iu a celebrated case
and make himself known; but a physi
cian must Bit patiently in his office, and,
if unknown, seo men without half his no
luiremcnts rolling in wealth, while ho
perhaps is starving. And it will come
to that," ho added bitterly, "if I don’t
got employment."
An unbidden tear started into the
wife's eyes, but she strove to smile, and
said :
“Do not despond, Ernest. I know
you have been unt'oitunate so far, but
you have talents and knowledge to innko
your way, ns soon as you get a start.—
And depend upon it,” she added with a
cheerful look, “that will cornu when you
least expect it.”
1 So you have told mo often ; but tlio
lucky hour has never come,” Raid her
husband despondingly. “Ami now ov-
ery coot of my little fortune has been
expended ; und our credit will soon bo
gone when it is found wo do not pay.—
What then is to become of us ?”
Ernest was in a mood which tho most
sanguine sometimes •experience, when
disappointment after disappointment has
crushed the spirit, and tho voice of hopo
is no longer heard within. Ilis wife
would have given uwuy to tears had
sho boon alone; but she felt tho necessi
ty of sustaining him, and unswered
cDcorfully:
“And what if every cent is gono.—
Have no fear that wo shall starve. God
sent tho ravens to feed Elijah, nml lie
will yet interpose for our aid. Trust in
Him, Ernest.”
The busbund felt rebuked, ns sho thus
spoke, and answered less dcspondingly :
“Hut really, Mary, this want of suc
cess would try tho stoutest spirit. Tho
mechanic, the duy-lnltorer, tho humblest
lurmcr iH sure of his food and raiment,
but I, after having spent years in study,
havo wasted years besides waiting for
practice ; and now, when all my fortune
is gone, if I resort to another mentis of
livelihood, I lose nil I have spent, both
of time and money, and muit fo over
abandon tho idea of pursuing my pro
fession. It is too hard I” And be uroso
and wulkod tho room with rapid strides
Ilis wife sighed, and remained silent.
But after a moment or two sho arose,
wont up to him, and fondly euoiroling
him with her arm, said ;
“Dear Ernest, you must not worry
yourself so. You think it painful for
mo to bear poverty, I know, or you
would not tako it so hard | hut a wo
man never regards such things when sho
loves, A crust of bread, a log-cabin
would bo preferable to mo if I shared
them with you, to a pnlnco with any
other. Hut it will not como to this.—
.Something within assures mo you w ill
yet bo great and rich. Have putionco
only for a little while longer. There—
thcro is a knock ut tho door now—it may
bo for you.
Ah if her words had been prophetic,
the littlo girl, their only servant, appear
ed at this crisis and said tho doctor wus
wanted in a great hurry. Willi an ex
ulting smile liis wife ran for his hat, and
then sat down, with a boating heart, to
awuit his return,
It was almost the first summons that
tho young physician had received,
though he had resided in the village
more than n year. Tho place, too, was
largo and popular, hut there wero sever
al medical men of largo practice, and
all those combined to put down their
young rival. More than once, hereto
fore, Ernest, would havo abandoned the
field in deapnir; but bin young wife
cheered and encouraged him, though

so, when he heard tho others say they

Mary was in tears long before her hus

her heart went tin in thankfulness to
God for having thus interfered at the
crisis when hopo seemed gone.

ways attributed his success to his wife,
whoso affections ho suid had cheered
and sustain, d him when out of heart.
“There is nothing," ho would say,

^ Tiik Dahk 8ii)K of Litekary Life.—
Tho miserable lifo of Savage, nnd tho
equally miserable lifo of Poe, were duo,
perhaps, mainly to tho lnck of moral
principles in tho men ; but there are in
stances, oven in modern days, of tho
scantiness of reward of modern authors.
Alphonsn Karr wrote his first novel,
popular in Franco even yet, and sold it
to a publisher for twelve hundred francs
($•240), and took promissory notes for
tho umount. Tho notes were nover
paid, nml tho costs of protest, amount
ing to ns much ihore, fell on poor Karr.
Another French writer of roputation,
Snndcnu, received for novels six hun
dred francs, ono-hnlf in wafers. Boruu-
gcr, from whoso works his publishers
netted half n million of francs, received
an annuity of less than a hundred nnd
sixty dollars. However, Bcranger had
few wants, nnd was so content, that it
was with difficulty his publishers could
got him to take the money when they
raised his annual pension to tlirco thou
sand francs Tlio cldor authors suffer
ed more than tho younger. Thus Spen
ser was always in want; Corneille had
nn old nge of misery ; Tusbo had to bor
row small amounts of silver at ono time
to proenro food ; Cnmoons, the great
Portuguese poet, died “in a hospital,
without having a shoot or shroud to

a hospital; Oekley. tho author of a fa

Velocity pf.u Hour.—Tbe, spood of
our ocean steamers in crossing tho At
lantic rarely exceeds 11 miles per hour;
tho speed of river steamers is from 14 to
24 miles per hour; of a race horse, from
29 to 510 ;. of a bird, 50 to 00; of u high
wind 20, and of a hurricane, 80
miles; of sound, 801; of mechanical
force in air, 150; of tho earth around
the sun, 08,000; of light, as demonstrated
by Foucault’s apparatus, 090,000,000
miles, and yet this inconceivable speed is
littlo more than half tho velocity of stutic
electricity, which Intter Wheatstone has
shown to lie 1,040,000,000 miles an lionr.

A Bride in the Wrong Bed.
A newly married pair put up nt tho
Spencer House—they wontoutshopping
—returned—bride had left somo thingff
—she slipped out—found her lost arti
cles—returnod—mistook Mnin street for
Broadway—got into tho MndisOTt fbf
the 8ponoor,it looked a lifllo strange,ask
ed a hoy if sho wns in the Spencor—boy
snid yes, not fully understanding her—
sho told him to load her to 48—she partly
disrobed nnd got in lied—expected*ffii^
bund momentarily—Fell asleep. 'Prtff
occupant of 48 Madison,nn Indiana Mer
chant returned from tho thontro a littlo
tight—quietly wont to the room—to bed
—to sleep.
IIow long tho two reposed thefff
side hy side, with only a foot space be
tween them, unconscious of ouch other's
presence, is not exactly known, but pro'
bnbly about nn hour, when n tfefoflfl-*
dotts noiso Wns heard in the npartfoenf,-
piercingly and ceaselessly.
Tho hotel was in an uproar ; proprie
tors, clerks, waiters, porters nnd guests,
dressed anil hitlf-dressed, wero at tho
door of 48 in a few minutes, blocking up
the entrance, and asking ench other on-
gerly : “ What is the matter ? For God's*
sake tell us what is the trouble?”
The cause of this outcry may bo im
agined. Tho bride bad awakened about
midnight, and patting her arm ove her
husband, it fell upon the Indianinn’s faco
and tlio soft, warm touch aroused him
at onco. lie did no dislike it, and in a
moment, Mrs. R., said : “My denresf
husband where havo you been all this
while ?"
Husband !" echoed the merchant,
beginning to soe, like Lord Tinsel, that
ho had a small mistake here, “I’m no
body’s husband 11 reckon, my dear mod'
am, you're in tho wrong bed.”
In tho wrong bod—horror of horrors,
thought tho young bride. What would
her lord—want would the curious world
Huy ? Aud Mrs. R., sorenmed terribly
nnd sprang from her couch just tui her
companion did tho name. Ho wns fully
nu much alarmed us Hho, nnd entreutod
her to givo him tiino nnd ho wonld leave
tho apartment, although it wns tho one"
ho had engaged—he’d make oath to that.
Scream, stream, scroamP was her
only reply to his kindly proposition.
“My God - , madam, don’t yoll so I You
will wake the house. Bo reasonable ; 4
swear it’s only a mistake, llnvc some'
thought of tho consequences; I don’t
want to hurt you; I swear 1 don’t.—
You will get me shot, nnd yourself.
Just nt this time tho crowd outside
S resented itself at tho door nnd beheld
Ire. R., cowering in one corner oxer'
cising her lungs magnificently, with it
sheet wrapped over her form and bead,
and tho Inuinninn in tho middle of the
room enveloped in n covorlot, nnd ejacu
lating, “My God, madam don’t.”
The junior propiietor, Dr. Cahill, saw
there must bo somo mistake, and request
ing the others to retire, colled tho met-'
chant, went into another room, nnd there
learned tho wbolo stoty. Tho doctor
then sent ono of the ladies to Mr*. R.
and tho entiro affair wns explainod great
ly to her relief, though sho was over
whelmed with confusion nt a circum
stance that might havo ruined her repu
tation forever.
Under the escort of the doctor, sho
was conveyed to the “Spencer,” where
tho hu8himd was found pacing the cor
ridors, with frantic mefn,and half eraxed
grief nt tho mysterious disappearance of
his wifo, whom he believod had been
spirited away by a villain, or murdorod
for her jewels, in this “infernal city"
where ns he expressed himself, they
would kill a man for a dollar.
As Boon us he beheld his spouoo, ho
caught her to his bosom nnd wept like
a child. He was melted with happiness
ut her discovery, and told her that he
had Bonrchcd the city for intelligence of
her whereabouts.—Cincinnati Enqu 'rer,

The Knickerbocker tclfs nn cxceTTent
story of Burcfiard, the Revivalist—not
of his oxnctly, either, but of what hap
pened at the close of ono of his meetings.

congregation In this wise :
I am now going to pray, and want aff
who desii o to bo prayed for, to send up
their names on a piece of paper.
On the occasion to which we refer,
there wan ut onoe sent up to the dok
quite a pile of littlo slips of paper, with ,
the names on, in whose behalf he was to .
wrestle, as he said, with tbo Almighty.
