THE YOUNG REBEL. A Tale of the Carolina*. BY J. MILTON SANDERS. In a small farm-house, towards the close of the year 1780, sat an old man, his wife and only son. The face of the father ap peared troubled; at timea he looked thoughtfully on the floor, and then he would j gaze long and wistfully at his son, a fine,! manlv youth of twenty. At length he said:! “ David, this is disastrous news from (lam- j den. God knows what will become of the : coqntry now ! Congress needs every arm that is capable. Ah, me! I wish this old j wound I got in the French war had not lamed me; but for it, 1 should be now’ shouldering my musket and inarching to defend my country.” Both the son and wife looked up at these j words. The old lady ceased knitting and j gazed inquiringly at her boy, and it was evident, from the expression of her face, that patriotism and motherly affection were at variance in her bosom. The son, however, after encountering his father’s eye for a mo ment, turned confusedly away. The old man’s brow'darkened, aad lie said warmly; “ David, David, why do you linger about the village when your country needs your j services so much ? Why, son, lam asliain- | ed of you ! Twice before this have I spok en to you upon this subject, but you appear to have no spirit! Wliat! will you see us ! trampled U|k>ii by the brutal mercenaries of j Britain, and still lie here supinely! For shame, David —for shame ! 1 w ill not cal! , you my son ! Long since you ought to I have been in tlie army !” “Joshua!” interposed the old mother,! “ David is hut a youth ; then do not speak ‘ to him so harshly, lie cannot yet feel what! you feel, who have fought so often against our country’s enemies ; Joshua, lie is but a | boy.” J “ A boy, indeed, Deborah ! Such boys j as David have already gained imperishable i laurels since the war commenced. I could | name a host of them. Why, were it not; for the boys of the land, where would be j our army ?—which, I dare say, is one quar ter composed of hoys of David's age.” The old man was excited, and it was the first un kind word that he had ever used to his boy. David arose and left the house. He walk ed some distance apparently in deep; thought. “ What will not woman do ?” he at last muttered. “ Here I have been lingering i about the village when I should have been i off loug ago. And what for 3 Why, to j meet a pretty girl, and to listen to her inusi- j cal voice, lint now, I will be myself again! ‘ What did he call me—was it not eoioard ? j Sow, hv heaven ! I will learn him that be -a son who possesses the spirit of his j father. Away, then, with love ; for 1 feel j that I am called upon to act, and no longer ; dream ! Ere a fortnight mv father shall , hear of me, or else I lose my life in striving j for it.” And with this resolution he turned about and retraced his steps. When he reached home he sought the stables, saddled his horse, and mounting 1 him struck into a gallop, which continued for several miles. At length he stopped , and looked up at the windows of a farm- j house, half hid between clustering trees. — This was the residence of Mary Bunker, the 1 mistress of his heart; the lights showed that the family had not retired, and he resolved to pay her a visit before his departure. She ‘ was alone when he entered, and a few words acquainted her with his determination. She ‘ burst into tears. * j “ Nay, Mary.” he said, “ you must not! 1 unman me. At first 1 resolved to leave you ! without a farewell, for 1 knew how much you dreaded my taking an active part iu this struggle. But 1 could not be so cruel as to desert you without a word.” “ J will compose myself,” said the fair girl, with an effort to smile. “1 know I j I 1 have been wrong to persuade you to stay ; j but you cannot imagine the anxiety I suffer : on account of my brothers, and I could not j hear to have you too encounter their danger. ; But since this dreadful defeat at Camden, 1 j i feel that everv man is wanted by our couti-1 ! try. Go, then, dearest, and God be with ■ you. My prayers shall attend vou night I and day.” 1 >avid pressed the now weeping girl to his bosom, snatched a hasty kiss at the sound of approaching footsteps, wrung her hand, and was gone. Tho next day he left tho neighborhood of j Ids father’s house, armed with a musket and mounted on a sturdy horse. His destina- [ tion was the American camp, then far to the northward ; but as the intervening country was filled with the enemy, he kuew there would be considerable address required to effect bis purpose. Before his departure he saw a few of his old playmates, who promis ed to follow him as soon as possible. Night found him near a lonely farm-house, to which he proceeded boldly in pursuit of a lodging. At first the occupant received him coldly ; but a chance expressioa convinc ing David that his host was atory, be affect ed the same political creed and was imme diately warmly welcomed. The royalist produced his cider after supper, and insisted that David should join him in his qotations; this the young man did, taking care, how ever, not to indulge too freely; while the farmer, overjoyed to fiud what be supposed anew recruit for his party, drank without stint, and became more and more communi cative. To his horror David soon learned that a party of loyalists, led by a Major j Wilson, celebrated for historyism and luth i lessness, were to start early the ensuing day, ion an expedition to seize and Lang the two j Bunkers, who had made themselves partii u i larlv obnoxious to the royalist leaders. Da ! vid knew enough of this partizan warfare to j U> assured that no mercy would l>e shown jhis friends; he also knew enough of the | major to suspect that some strong personal motive had led to the planning of so distant an expedition, when there were others as inviting nearer home. lie accordingly set himself to discover from his half inebriated companion the truth. Nor was it long be fore success crowned bis adroit cross-ex amination. “ Why,” said his host, “ I believe there’s a little revenge for a slight received from these fellows’sister, mixed tip witli the ma jor’s desire to catch the Bunkers. The girl is very pretty, they say, and the major, when she was down here on a visit last ye3r —before the war got to be so bloodv— wanted to marry her, but she would have nothing to say to him. Ever since, he has vowed to make her rue the day. You mav depeud on it he will have her on his own terms now —thank heaven ! there’s no law any longer to prevent an honest royalist | from doing as he pleases to those rascally j rebels. Bat yonder is tbe major now.” j suddenly said his host, starting up, “ I'ii j introduce vou to him at once—a merry fel low you’ll find him—Lord love you, he’s as brave as a lion.” I'avid, though horrified at the diabolical plot he had heard, saw the necessity of dis j sembling in order to learn further of the j tones’ plans, and find means, if possible, to j circumvent them, lie arose, therefore, and j shook the major’s Land warmly—pledged i him immediately in a brimmer ; and scon contrived to make the royalist ladieve that he was anxious to join a troop audtske part against the rebels. This induced the ma jjor to be unusually civil, for he wished to secure so athletic a recruit himself. It was not long before a bargain had been conclud ed between the two. David refused, how ever, to sign Uie agreement that night: lie pretended that several others of his friends were disaffected and desirous of joining the loyalists ; and his object, be said, was to se cure a commission for himself bv inducing them to join. This tempting bait took— the major promised him s command in his troop in case of success, and L'avid signi fied Lis intention of setting forth, after he had taken a few hours rest, in order to lose no time in gathering together his recruit-. The dread of discovery had been constant ly before our hero during the management of this negotiation, for his person was well known to many of the major’s troop, and if any of them had come up, his feigned name would not have protected him from detec tion. He wished to get off that night, as he had proposed ; but to Ibis neither his host nor the major would hear, and he was forc ed to remain till morning. What was his anguish to hear, on rising, that the major had been gone some iiours, and was already on his way to tbe Bunkers, with his troop. Dissembling his anxiety, David partook of a hasty breakfast, and mounting his horse rode slowly away. But when out of sight of the house he struck into a fierce gallop, which he continued till he came in sight of a cross-road, w here was a tavern. Here he stopped and learning that the royalists had taken the high road, lie turned aside into a narrow and more circuitous one. “ It is mv only chance to avoid them,” he said, again dashing into a gallop. “Dray God, I may reach the settlement in time to collect a few of our lads and march to Bunk ers. There is no other hope now left.” Night had fallen, as they expected, before the tories were able to reach the vicinity of tbe house they were in search of. At length, however, after a silent march through the woods it broke upon tlioir view. A light was burning in one of tbe windows, and w hen they arrived close to the premises the , lively notes of a violiu reached their cars, proving that tho brothers were not aware of their presence, but enjoying themselves in imagined security. “ Now men,” whispered the leader of the tories, “ when I give the word, fire a volley at the house by way of introducing our -1 selves; wcwill then surround tbe place and I j enter it,” At that instant the deep bay of a NUMBER 18. [dog rang in their ears, and a large mastiff sprang from under the house and rushed at tbe major. “ Fire !” he cried. Twenty guns broke upon the stillness of the night—the dog fell dead—every pane of glass in tLe front of the house was shiv ered, and the tot ies yelied like savages. In an instant the light in the house was extin guished—the violin as quickly ceased, and a noise was heard at the door. The lories immediately made a rush at it. But it was already barred, and being made of stout oak plank, resisted all their efforts. A rilla cracked from one of the upper windows, and one of the tories fell desperatelv wounded. Another report succeeded, and another tory fell, and Major wilson was not fully aware that boih Bunkers were at Lome and wide awake. A shed turned the rain from the front of the house, and underneath this, the tories shielding themselves from the fire of the Bunkers, went to woik at the door.— | Suspecting such resistance—perhaps fruni his knowledge of their character—one of the J inen had brought an axe. with which he j commenced hewing at the door, and soon [ cut it to pieces. Here a desperate battle j ensued. The two brothers were pow erful | men, and as courageous as thev were strong; and now with clubbed rifles they disputed ; the entrance of tbe whole torv force. The door being small, thev stood their ground : for half an Dour, felling during that time j some of those who bad the temerity to en ! !er first: hut finally numbers overcame I them, and they were flung upon tbe floor | and bound. Tbe tories, inflamed to mad ness at the great resistance which had been I made, and at their own losses, now seized the mother and sister, and made prepara tions to hang the two brothers before their ! eyes. The ropes were already tied around j the recks of the victims, wLeu the major addressed his men. “ Now, friend*, as soon as these villains are dead, we will set fire to this house; the [old woman there.” he said with a brutal : laugh, “may be left inside, blit the young one I reserve for myself.” “ Hist!” cried one of the men in a loud voice. The major ceased, and they beard a voh-e outside the house. Although the words were spoken low, the listeners dis tinctly heard—“ When I say fire, give it to them !” A man with blanched cheek now rusiiej among them, exclaiming, “ Tho yard is full of men !” “Fire!” cried a deep voice from the yard. A general volley succeeded, and so well had the aim been directed in the door, that several of the tories fell either dead or des perately wounded. In turn the tories re treated up the stairs, when David, our hero, rushed into the room which they had just left, and cut the ropes w hich bound the Bunkers and their mother and sister. “ May God Almighty bless vou for this!” cried one of the Bunkers. The two men sprang up, seized their rifles, which hud been left iu the room, and prepared to re i ta’iate the treatment which they had just [ received. Long and desperate was the battle. The j tories fought for life—the whigs for revenge. | But, at length, the latter triumphed, though | not until their enemies had been almost i wholly exterminated. The major fell by I the arm of our hero, who sought him out in I the hottest of the fight, and engaged him I single-handed. No language of ours can express the emo tions of David as he pressed his betrothed j bride to his bosom ; and his heart went up in thankfulness to Heaven for his timely arrival, when he thought that a delay of half an hour longer would have consigned her to a fate worse than death. The grati tude of her brothers was expressed in many words, but her’s was silent and tearful, yet O, liow much more gratifying ! “ I almost called you a cow ard, son Da vid,” said his father to him when they met, “ but you are a chip of the old block, and I did you wrong. Deborah, lie is a boy to be proud of—is he not ? You may founder one of my horses every day that you do snch a deed ; it beats anything 1 saw iu the old French war!” David's gallantry in this act drew around him in a few weeks more than a score of hatdy young followers, who fought with him to the close of tire war, when he return ed, and was happily married to the heroine of our story. The man who minds his own business was in town the other day, but left imme diately, lie felt so lonesome. Many persons admire the lightning. It is very grand and very beautiful, but xve were never personally struck by it. A cute Yankee in Kansas sells liquor in a gun-barrel, instead of a glass, that lie may avoid tbe law, and make it appear, beyond dispute that lie is selling by tho barrel. W'liat is a Mother-in-Law ? The moth er-in- law is the person in the household who attends to the preserves and the pick les, and sees that the matrimonial jars aro put carefully away, to be opened as they are wanted. A smart woman in Thompson, Mass., has turned her husband out of doors because he is lazy. The woman owns the property in tills case, and she objects to supporting a drone, if ho is her own husband. Serves him right.
