Marion and myself were sent with our commands to Pureysburg to reinforce Gen. Lincoln, who was there on his way to attack the British in Savannah,whioh a few months before had fallcu iuto their hands. As the Count D’Estang, who was expected to co-operatc in this affair, had not ar rived, Gen. Lincoln thought it advis able to entrench and wait for him. While wo were ljingat Pureysburg, a couple of youug men of our regimout achieved an act of generosity and cour age which, in former days, surely would have laid the ground work of an heroic romance. One of the actors of this extraordinary play was the brave Ser geant Jasper, whose name will be dear to the friends of American liberty. Jasper had a brother who had joined the British, and held the rank of ser geant in their garrison at Ebenczcr. Never was man truer to bis country thau Jasper; yet was his heart so warm that he loved his brother, though a To ry, and actually went over to see him. Ilis brother was exceedingly alarm'd at the sight of him, lest he should be seized at once and hung as a spy, for his name was well known to many of the British officers. But Jasper begged him not to give himself much trouble on that head ; for, said he, I am no longer an American sold er. ‘‘Well, thank God for that, William,” replied his brother, giving him a hearty shake of the band, “and now only say the word, my boy, and here is a commis sion for you, with regimentals and gold to boot, to fight for his majesty”. Jasper shook his head and observed that, though there was but little encour agement to fight for his country, yet he could not find it in his heart to fight her. And there the conversa- D tion ended. After staying with his brother sonic two or three days, inspecting and hear ing all that he could, he took his leave, and by around about, returned to camp and told General Lincoln all that he had seen. Having wasted several weeks longer of tiresome idleness, and no news of the French fleet, Jasper took it into his head to make another trip to Ebcnc zer. On thisoccasion he did not, as be fore,go alone, but took with him his particular friend, Sergeant Newton, son of an old Baptist preacher, and a young fellow, for strength and courage, just abouf a match for Jasper himself. lie was received with great cordiality by bis brother, to whom he introduced his friend Newton, and spent several days in the British fort without giving the least alarm. On the morning of the third day his brother had some bad news to tell him. “Aye ! wliat. is it? he ashed y?bat is it?” “Why,” replied his brother, “there are ten or a dozen American prisoners, brought in this morning as deserters from Savannah, wither they are to be sent immediately. And from wliat I can learn, it will be apt to go hard with them, for it seems that they have all taken the king’s bounty. “Let’s see ’em,’ said Jasper, ‘Let’s see ’em.’” So his brother took him and Newton to see them. And indeed it was a mournful sight to behold them where they sat, poor fellows! all handcuffed, on the ground. Hut all pity for them was forgot as soou as the eye was turn ed to a more doleful sight hard by, was a young woman, wife of one of the pris oners, with her child, a sweet little boy of about fivo years old. The name o that lady was Jones. Her distress and sympathy w'th her unfortunate husband showed that she was rich in that pure conjugal love that is more precions than gold. She generally sat on the ground opposite her husband, with her little boy leaning on her lap, and her oal-black hair spreading'in long-nogleo ted tresses on her neck and bosom; and thus she sat, in a state of grief, sometimes with her eyes hard fixed up on the earth like one lost in thought, sighing and groaning the while as if her heart would burst. Then starting, as if from a reverie, she would dart her eager eyes, red with weopiDg, in her husband’s face, and there would gRZO with notes so piercing sad as though she saw him struggling in the halter, herself a widow and her son an orphan; her frame would begin to shake with the rising agony, and her face to change and begin to swell; then with the eyes swimming in tears, she would look a round upon all for pity and for help, with cries sufficient to melt the heart of a demon. While the child, seeing his father'sjiands fast bound and his moth er weeping, added to the distressing scene by his artless tears and cries. The brave are always tender-hearted —it was so with Jasper and Newton; t wo of the most undaunted spirits that ever lived. They walked out into th c neighboring woods. The tear was in the eye of both. Jasper first broke this silence. ‘ Newton,” said ho, “my days have been but few, but I believe there course is nearly done.” “Why so, Jasper ?” “Why, I feed,” said he, “that Ihhh t rescue these poor prisoners or die with them ; other wise that woman and her child will haunt me to my grave.” Well, that is exactly what I feel to,” replied Newton, “and here is my heart and hand to stand by you, my brave friend, to the last drop. Thank God, a man can die but once, and there is not so much in this life that a man need be afraid to leave it, especially when it is in the way of his duty.” The two friends embraced with great cordiality, while each read in the other’s countenance that immortal fire which beams from the eyes of the brave when resolved to die or conquer in some glorious cause. Immediately after breakfast the pris oners was sent on, for Savannah, under a guard of sergeant and corporal, with eight men. They had not gone far be fore Jasper and Newton took leave of his brother and set apart on some er rand to the upper country. They had scarcely, however, got out of sight of Ebenezer before they struck into piny woods and pushed hard for the prisoners and their guards, whom they closely dogged for several miles, anxiously watching an opportunity to make a blow. About two miles from Savannah there is a famous spring generally called the ! Spa, (Note —Now called the “Jasper Spring”) well known to travellers, who often turn thither to quench their thirst, “Perhaps,” said Jasper “the guards may slop there,” Then, hastening on by a near cut tlirough the woods, they gained the Spa as their last hope,and there concealed them selves among bushes that grew abundantly around the spring. Presently the mournful procession came in sight, healed by the sergeant, who, ou coming opposite to the spring, ordered a halt. Hope spruug now a fresh in our he roes’ bosoms. The coporal with liis guards of four men, conducted the prisoners to the spring. While the sergeant, with the other four, havi. g grounded their arms near the road, brought up the rear. The prisoners, wearied with their walk, were permitted to rest themselves on the cart’’. Poor Mrs. Jones, as usual, tc./* her seat opposite to her husband, and her little boy overcome with fatigue, fell a s!eepjn her lap. Two of the coporal’s men were ordered to keep guaid, and the other two to give the prisoners drink out of their canteens. Thes last approached the spring where our heroes lay concealed, and rested their mus kets against a pine tree, dipped up water, and having drank themselves, turned aw-’y with replenished einteo- s to give the pris oners also. “Now, Newton, is our time ! said Jasper. Thor, bursting like two lions from their concealment, they snatched up tth two muskets leaning against the pine and in an instant shoo down the two soldiers that kept guard. And now the question was, who should first gst the two loaded II S3 a year, in advance, mnskets tof the slain. For by this time the sergeant and corporal, a couple of brave Englishmen, recovering from their moraen ; tary panic, had sprung up, and seized the muskets ; but before they could use them, the strong, swift-handed Americans clubbed their guns, levelled each at the head of his antagonist the fatal blow’. Then taking up the guns which had fallen a second time from the slain, they flew between the sur rounding enemy and tneir weapons, groun ded near the road, and ordered them to surrender, which they instantly did. At the commencement of the fray, poor Mrs. Jones, half frighten to death, had tal en to the ground in a swoon, with her little son screaming piteously over her. But when she came to herself and saw her husband and friends around her, all free from their fetters and well armed, she behaved like one frantic with joy. She sprang to her bus bauds bosom, and with her arms around his neck, sobbed out: “Oh bless God. Then wildly darting her eyes around in quest of her deliverers, she exclaimed . “Where ! are those blessed angels that God sent to save my husband?” Directing her eyes to Jasper and Newton, where they stood like two.’youthful Samp sons, in the full flowing of their locks, she ran and fell on her knees before them, kissed and pressed them to her bosom, ciying out vehemtntiy, “dear angels ! God bless you, God Almighty bless you forever !” Then instantly, for fear of being overtaken by the enemy, out heroes snatched the arm and captive foes recrossed the Savannah,in safety, and regained our army at Pureysburg to the inexpressable astonishment and joy of us all.—Copied from a Scrap Book col lected from 1829 to 1828.

And all the time that baby yells. Oh, doesn’t he yell? while Mary Ann, up to her nose under the warm bed-covers, to help out. every now and then impatiently puts in, just at the vrrong place, “Why don’t you trot him faster, Samuel ?” And you trot him—oh, bow you do trot him ! If you could only trot his wind out so far that he never could get any of it back again, or break his back, or neck, or something, you would be immeasurably happy. But no. The little iunoccnt seems tougher than an India-rubber car spring. Just as you are about give up, con cluding that you must freeze, there that will certainly have to be a funeral in the house inside of thirty-six hours baby wilts from sheer exhaustion, and then with teeth chattering like a Mc- Cormick reaper, you crawl in by Mary Ann and try to sleep again.

Nice, isu’tit? THE OLD YEAR BY T. M. HARRIS. Another year, with its blessings, its privileges, and its opportunities, is gone. It has taken its place among the reced ing centuries, there to remain until God shall summon it to his bar, to disclose the things it has borne in its bosom away. How often has it been written in the Book of Life !—“Born 1872.” How often upon the Marriage Altar! “Married 1872.”—And alas ! how often cut sharp and deep into the cold white marble, that stands at tbe bead of some buried treasure ? “Died 1872.” It is a year so distinctly marked, and its outline so sharpened by our own experi ences, that it will not be forgotten. With some it will hold a bright place among the memories that make up their religious life. Many will date from this year the beginning of that life that will continue while eternity lasts. Its record will be full of noble deeds; deeds of self-deuial, of devotion to Christ, of love and kindness to their fellow-men. To them it has been a year of great spiritual gain, of growth in grace and happy experiences. Others will remember it as a year o suffering and loss. This year their orphanage began aod ibis year they began to date their w °whood. Others, made like Job, childles iave said in their loneliness, “I would not live al ways,” and in their sad solitariness have asked, “if a man die shall he live again ? Others have suffered great spiritual loss—they were “overtaken” —it was their trial hour, and they fell; “weighed in the balances,” they Were “found wanting.” Farewell old year, from the good .ad bad alike you have departed. But we shall meet again, and that V h we retain in memory alone you shall reproduce in the day of final accounts.
