ALONE AT THE RENDESVOUS
From tke Freeman's Monthly Magazine.
Every reader of American History, is
aware that unrelenting and bitter feel
ings of'hostility animated the minds of
the partizans during the memorable pe
riod of 1776 ; and little were tho rude
inhabitants of the interior of the country
inclined to soften this spirit in favor of
the captive, British or inerican. It is
true the harsh and often brutal conduct
of the tories, who spared neither sex nor
age, was ill calculated to induce the rough
and harassed back-woodsmen to listen to
the still small voice which pleads in every
human bosom for mercy to the fallen foe.
Too many had their memories bur
thoned and hearts lacerated with the rec
ollection of houses burned, parents or
children, brothers or sisters, murdered or
ruthlessly torn from the family hearth ;
and hence the voices of the few gentle
and refined settlers, pleading that merci
ful treatment be given to the prisoners
was often drowned in the storm of exci
ted prssious and the wail `of the lately be
reaved.
Principnl of the
It was during th's dark and gloomy
period that the town of Carlisle, in Cum
In.rland euunty, one of the oldest settle
meets in the State of Pennsylvania, was
selected as the place to which .111ajor
Andre and Lieut. Despard, were sent for
secure confinement, by Montgomery, who
had taken them prisoners near Lake
Chain plain.
The prisoners were lodged in the house
of a family on the corner of South Han
over street and Locust Alley, and were
on a parole of honor, which permitted
them to extuud their excursions for six
miles around the town but only in mili
tary dress when beyond the lines of the
borough.
Major Andre, who was still a young
man, j ust entered upon a career of glory,
seeing himself thus suddenly checked in
his onward course to military renown,
that object so dear to every soldier's heart,
secluded himself at first to brood over his
misfortune. But his companion in cap
tivity a man of more volatile tempera
ment, made the best of his position, and
amused himself by shooting through the
country. One day after ,he had stumbled
upon the cave which opens its mysterious
mouth at about a mile from Carlisle,
ho returned and by his description,
aroused Andre's curiosity sufficiently to
make him forget his captivity for a while,
and determine him to accompany his
friend. The two then visited the nave
and were amply repaid' for the labor of
exploring" by the curiosities of nature
which they found there stored away in
its gloomy recesses.
The visit seemed moreover to act like
a - charm upon the poor prisoner's mind,
for after it ho seemed restless when any
thing prevented him even for a day from
rambling through the woods and fields
that Surrounded the town.
At early morn he would start forth with
his ligit'en in his , band, his ame-bag
ordaining a frugal; repast, shing.,tiorose
his Shoulder by a neat bolt, and a stray

Ah l—well, wo aro wiser at last;
The charming delusion is over;
Your dream of devotion Is past,
And I—am no longer a lover,
But, darling (allow me the phrase,
For simple civility's sake),
Don't think In this calmest of lays
I've any roproactos to make.
Ah qUeruloue word
Shall fall from my passionless pen;
The sharp little ;moldings you've heard
I never eh QI utter again,
Dot if In this final adfau,
'too chilly for even 'a kilts,
I venture a comment or two,
You surely won't take it limbic'

(Well, habit la certainly queer,
And atilt in a loverllke way
I call y umy darling" and "dear I")

I vowed you woroobarnilogly clover,
And raved of your beauty In rhyme,
And promleed to love you for ever I

That millions And millions of days
Were wholly unequal to measure,
And yet, as we sadly have seen,
The cue Is remarkably clear,

Rather lesi than a calendar year
Yet I never have broken my vow,
Although I aumit that

To love you ibr over, and now
Confess thht I love yciu no more;
For since you're no longer the same

To be loving you now, I proclaim ;

attempt half encircles a spot fit for fairy
revels. It was here the youthfutprisoner:
loved..to sit and read or think, without:
the slightest desire td molest the squirrels
over his head or even the deer that would
now and then distitrb the solitude, - or
even the finny tribe that inhabited at that
time the waters of the pretty brook. But
he was not left many days:Without a com
panion in his musings.
One morning after he hadjust arranged
his couch and was about to recline with
his volume in his band to read—or think
of merry England, he hoard a crash as if
it were in mid-air, an exclamation of dis
tress, and had hardly time to spring to
lfis feet, before he discovered the cause
of the noise
The steep hill-side against which he
was reclining was covered with trees and
under-brush to the very top, and through
thick growth dashed a horse on its down
ward course, as if maddened by some ir
reistible force. Its rider, a country girl,
sat pale but evidently - fearless and erect
in the saddle and endeavored to check the
steed by soothing words and a skilful
management of her rein; but the animal
seemed to be under the influence of ter
ror or pain, and rushing blindly down by
its own impetus would have been precip
ipitated over the steep bank of the rivu-
let, if Andre who bad watched its course
for a second or two, had not at the risk
of his life rushed forward and seized the
bridle and while ho with a sudden jerk
turned the animal's head to the right, his
strong arm checked it so abruptly that it
was forced upon its haunches, which en
abled the fair equestrian to spring lightly
out of the saddle, they then discovered
what caused the poor animal to act so
frantically ; a cluster.of bees had settled
upon his left haunch, inflicting their
vengeful stings for having been disturbed
by the careless switching of its tail.
After the animal had been relieved
from its tormentors, and soothed by cool
applications from the brook, Andre had
time to turn to the young girl he had
saved from a vielknt death. She stood
still by his side, pale but not trembling,
and when she saw him somewhat more
at liberty to attend to her, she expressed
her thanks to him in such a dignified and
refined language, that the young officer,
who had until then met only with the
uneducated hardy daughters of the set
tlers along the creek, was surprised and
began to examin e her more closely ; and
few girls would stand the test of a close
exitnination better than she.
Kate Cleveland was the daughter of
Oliver Cleveland an Englishman, who
having fallen in love with a young lady
far above him in rank, and seeing his
love reciprocated, found chat only by an
elopement he could secure the prize he
was anxious to secure. The lady con
sented to the proposal, and the two fled
and embarked as ewigrants to the new
country. Love enabled them to cope
courageously with all the trials and ob
stacles which they had to encounter in
the new country, before Mr Cleveland
had secured for himself the independence
of a substantial farmer, and the posses
sion of a fine tract of land in Cuwherland
valley.
And when after they had been mar
ried for several years, a d•iut;hter came to
enliven their household and to draw the
bonds of love closer, they resolved to be-
stow all their-care upon their child, uod
to give it the education which their own
training in England enabled theta to ito-
part
Kate became, therefore, the wonder of
the country, for she was not only skilled
in the ordinary branches of education,
but could also draw and paint the beau
ties of nature, tell the names of the stars
in the blue ether, and play the guitar,
which she accompanied with her beauti
ful voice But not only her mental but
also her physical education, her parents
t- ok care to attend to : and Kate became
an expert equestrian, learnt to follow the
hounds in full halloo after tho prowling
fox, and could if necessary firea gun with
a precision by no means common among
the degenerate deseedents of the hardy
pioneers. Accustomed to canter over
the country without an escort, she had
that morning mounted a rather unbroken
colt, which she bad intended to train for
her service, and had proceeded safely un
til at the brow of the 'bill which over
hangs the brook, her horse had given of
fence to a small swarm of bees by switch-
ing its tail over them, and hence tho no
cidont.
Kate explained the cause of her mist
hap in . A few words to the young soldier,
and then mounted again her now subdued
colt, shosuiferedliin to escort her on foot,
toward her home. But when he had,
reached the tiinits, of the space to which
his.ortMderings were confined, he stopped
and with a somewhat: c'etifused air, said :
" &iseAlleveland; Your conversation and
language havvvividly called forth° the
rdeolleotiene . Of my distant 'home and
hrought before my mind the image of
. a
beloved' sister now thinking of her ebsent
b'rothe'r and seething'the:feari'ofau'apx

accompany you a
,farther, and listen
to yOlir voice, .but Obains °tate cap

Ibg which he hiul taught foviefdotne his
feelings, he Continued, - Fard4Cll, - Indy
it not be fdrever." Kate, who Ivaa, a
'true woman in all her• feelings, had -be
come interested in the, fate of tho•young
soldier and pitied his condition; sire felt n
it' it were her duty to do sothething to
soften his lot, and therefore replied "Nay,
grieve not Major, you know the fate of
war, of_which you soldiert speak so much,
may soon change ,your position, and I
hope by the time .We'ipeet•ogain you will
greet me with better nevt. So good bye
for the present, and at I often ride along
this road, you may soon come to bring me
better news."
Andre returned that day in a sadder
mood to his quarters, but no one disturbed
him with questions.
Many a time after that did he meet
Kate Cleveland either by the brook or in
the woods on the bill, until so great an
intimacy had sprung up between them,
that neither hesitated to avow that love,
not accident, brought them together.
Happy days were those for the young
lovers, and the one forgot for hours that
he was a soldier in the hands of his ene
mies, while the other never thought of
the fact that she was pledging her faith
to 'one sworn to fight against her Mends
and countrymen.
Every afternoon, about four o'clock,
would Kate find an excuse to mount her
horse, and accompanied by a fine large
dog, she wassure to take the road to what
is now known as " Wagoner's road," and
if she was the first at the rendezvous, she
was sure to chide her knight as soon as
he came in sight, for h s want of gallantry
in letting her wait for him.
BEEIMINE
In the meantime when the tories of the
neighboring country, found that the two
gallant British soldiers were left to trav
erse the country without a guard, they
determined not only to effect their escape,
hut even to concert for rising, and then
to disarm all the rebels, and take pH
se..ion of the town, and the neighboring
property, in the name of King George
Letters were sent to them by a_siznple
boy, whom they rightly judged nobody
would suspect, for poor Knolly Pete. was
by the whole neighborhood considered a
natural : but they took also the precaution
to request the Major to burn all the let
ters as soon.as he had read theta. Their
plans were well laid, and might have led
to a great deal of mischief, had it not
been for a happy accident, whirth . lorempri.
however, disastrous to the heroine of our
tale.
One day when Pt to had been sent to
the Major, with some letters written in
French, communicating the final arrange
ments wade by the tory partizans, poor
Pete had lingered so long about the ore( k,
where he was accustomed to look for An
dre, that he became hungry, having had
nothiug to eat since eully morning.—
Thinking that he ought to take care of
himself in order to take care of his em
ployers' interest, he went to the house of
a Mr. Brown, who bud a farm in the
neighborhood and asked for some bread
and milk. Mrs. Brown , gave him both
In the meantime while he was still eating.
Mr. Brown, a staunch rebel, entered the
house, and sportingly inquired of Pete, if
the Et.glish had already succeeded in
making him promise to enlist as a drum
mer. Poor Pete thought he was suspected,
and having a wholesome dread of the
summary proceedings so often made use
of by both parties, hastily replied, "
ain't doin nothin with the English, i only
comes to talk with the captain."
"With what captain ?" inquired 11. Ir
Brown
With him that sits here by the creek
with his gal," replied poor Pate, more and
more frightened on seeing Mr. Brown's
stern countenance over.shadowLd by an
angry frown.

continued his questioner.
"Nothin at all, ho axes only about the
folks."
Mr. Brown now suspected that the
Major had some sinister motive in watch

thorn both. He therefore said nothing,
but determined to watch the boy's course

t i iit there was an eye upon him, which
had, watched him with no friendly inter
est,,all,the gleams of joy that had so and
denlY illuminated his countenance, and
the "owner of that eye, Brown, satisfied
that 7 something- wrong was going on, has
tened to gather his friends together to
con!iiilt with them, as the best way to dis
cover, prevent, and punish the treachery
which he suspected.
Not long after Pete had left, Kate came
daihing down the bill on her white pal
frey, and seeing her lover already at the
tryatring.place, spring lightly out of the
saddle, and in a moment was by his side.
Andre could not long.oonceal from her
hopes and anticipations, he told her
that that very evening he intended. to
take. back his parole, and then make his
escape during the night by the aid of his
friends, and then concluded : "To mor
row, dear Kate, at sunrise, we'll meet at
the great oak, where the creek makes a
bend, to bid a final farewell to these lovely
haunts, and thou and I be free and united
fotever. Does thy heart not beat more
wildly; my dear Kate, at the thought of
visiting old England, the home of thy
fathers, at being blessed by my fond
mother for having made her child so
happy r
,But the maiden replied : '• I too hare
a (Dottier and a dear father whom I must
iwve behind," and then she continued in
a still sadder tone " besides that, a feelling
wiiich I cannot describe forbids my share
inz, your unalloyed pleasure. Are you
sure of your friends; May there not be
some treachery to be feared 1 Are your
arangetuents made so that you do not jeop

`' Nay" replied, 'hey lover fear, nothing

inprinting for the first time a kiss up: u
liar rosy lip, he assisted her to mousy
htr palfrey, and when she was quite out
oOsight he retruncd to his quarters in
Hoover street. Brown had in the mean
tirEN collected togetheralmost all the mew
""` .."-9TanY of whieh - -he was
the captain, and having laid before them
the graunds of his suspicions, it was de
termined to seize the the Major make him
give up the papers which Pete had brought
hint and then to make him confess who
were his tory friends.
But when they' arrived at the elm tree
they found the place vacant, hut discov
ered by the hail that a third person had
been within the Mnj , i, and that person
a woman. This only ,ncreased their sus
picions and they inimaiiately hastened to
Carlisle. When they reached the bor
ough, the captain ordered his company to
surround the house, and then told the
crowd that haditlieir around, what he
had seen by the iidg and his suspicious
that the tories lore in correspondence
with Major Andli The Major was now
brought forth butt.zfused to acknowledge
as true the allegatitis made against him.
They then scarched ; i s clothes and found
the letters delivered by Pete. Brown
hastily tore them op*ut could not read
a word of the oontentt The letters were
written in French, an4here was no one
in the borough that co interpret them.
When Brown saw him' thus foiled in
discovering the plot, he Arne so enrag

continued : ' And you had better go home

of Andre's arm she pushed him in the
house and olosod the door after him.
Brown from habit awed by the authori
tative voice of Mrs. Ramsey, withdrew
his men to a safe distance, and then gave
vent to a shower of threats, and sent the
letters to the neatest poet of the rebel
army.
The next morning just as the sun was
gliding the tops of the trees, Kate Cleve
land seated on her white palfrey, and her
Ponto crouched by her side was waiting
at the trysting place beneath tte old oak
tree. But hoar after hour passed, and
poor Kate was still alone at the rendesvous.
She did not dismount, she did not ride
i •
up ana down theroad,.she only satin the
saddle in asad and expecting attitude, her
whip fallen from her hand, the rein was
on the palfrey's neck, while her right hand
supported her cheek, as if she were sit
ting in an arm chair, and her eyes were
fixed upon the gorge through which she
expected Andre to come. At last, after
the sun had been so high that it stood
right over her head, a horseman apprach
ed through the gorge, but Ponto did not
spring forward to greet him and when he
came near, she discovered that it was one
of her neighbors just returned from town.
Farmer Gibson seeing Kate alone and
as if waiting for some one, first inquired
whether her father was going to town,
and asked whether she had heard the
news that the Briti..ll officers bad been
removed by order from headquarters and
that they had left Carlisle under an escort.
Ile then related to her the cause of his
removal and all the circumstances which
we have just described. Kate turned
deadly pale when she had heard all, and
without a word turned her palfrey toward
home. When she had dismounted, title
left it uncared fur in the yard and went
to her room wholly deprived of reason
For many a year was she known in that
vicinity as crazed Kate, the officer's bride,

Lace has a subtle nod a peculiar
charm, quite independent of its costliness.
has a mysterious beauty which partakes
of the charm that lies in the wonderful
wood carvings in Gothic cathedrals. Lace,
old lace, is a product of art, not manu
facture ; human life, human volition, is
expressed in every inch of the delicate
mesh which makes the costly ground to
set forth the pattern. There is individ
uality impressed upon each kind of lace,
just as there is upon each great school of
painting; for the artist in each put a seal
on their work. It took a lifetime to pro
duce even a small quantity of fine lace.
" Les; belles etentenellegs Valenciennes,"
as they were called, required so much la
bor, that some workers could only produce
twenty-four inches in a year. The ohanges
in the atmosphere and the fluctuations in
the health of the workers told on the finer
kinds of lace; and it was a well known
fact, that if a piece were begun in the city
of Vallenciennes and finished outside the
walls, it would be inferior, though it might
be the work of the same band, made with
the same thread, and on the same pillow.
The flax of which the old Brussals and
the point d'Alencon were made was cul
tivated on purpose; it was chiefly grown
in Brabant, Halle, and Gourtrai, and had
to be spun in underground cellars, because
contact with external air made the thread
brittle. The thread was so fine as almost
to elude the sight ; the spinner had to
go by the sense of touch, examining every
inch as - it left the distaff, and at the
slightest irregularityystopping the wheel.
The room was kept in darkness, except
for one single ray of light arranged to fall
on the thread, which was thrown up by a
background of dark paper. ' As it was in
Ire sixteenth century, so it ii now. The
1
ieel and distaff ac still used to spin
r
flax for lace thread, and under the
'Se conditions. Nol machine has yet
invented'to equal the work of the
t d flax spinner and her distaff. 'At

Horace Greeley When a Boy.
The Boston luau refers to Horace
Greely when an apprentice in a country
printing office in Vermont :
On a visit connected with political mat•
ters to the Hon. C. llallury, tbeu one oi
the most distinguished moinbeis of Con
gress-, and most able champion of the
I '•American System," we went wit!: him
t an übscute printing office in f'uultucy,
V erwou t, his place uf residence. Among
other things he called our attention to a
young compositor, who was rather awk
wardly 'sticking types," and who though
evidently -full grown, was the youngest
apprentice in the office. His legs rau a
good deal more - than a "feet" throu g h his
Pautaloons—the sleeves of his owit scarce
ly reached to his elbows—his hair was
very white and fluien, and he was on the
whole, in the aggregate, taken seperately
and together the greenest specimen of
humanity we ever looked at—and this is
saying a great deal, fur we kept a gaud
looking glass •'That boy," said Mallory,
"will make a remarkable man; I can't
hold an argument with him on Masonry
orany thing else connected with politics."
As Mr. M. was considered one of the
ablest men in Congress, his remark caused
us some surprise, and we not only "made
a note of it," but took another look at
the "devil" (printer's, we mean) and
could not but,trace in the expansive fore•
head "a mind formed iu nature's fiuest
mould, and forimmortality. It was years
afterward that we became aware of the
fact that the boy was Horace Greely.
The Gettysburg Monument
David Wills, Esq, President of the
Soldiers' National Cemetery Association
has been furnished with the following
description of the Monument adopted by
tho Board of Managers, and to be erreet
ed in the Cemetery grounds, to the memory
of the noble dead who sacrificed their
lives on the battle field of Gettysburg.
The design is a most beautiful one, and
an be seen at the office of Mr. Wills.
The design
,of the Gettysburge Monu
ment is adapted for execution either in
marble or in granite and bronze, as may
be deemed expedient, the material being
of oourse controlled by the amount appro
priated. The whole rendering of the
designs is intended to be purely histori
cal, tolling its own story with such sim
plicity that any discerning mind will read•
ily comprehend its meaning and purpose

mules that have been laid down, can be
now taken up; and the covering of straw
berry, flower and asparagus beds can be
removed.
In staking up raspberries, let the up•
per tie be near the head of the stake,
and left rather loosely, as the crowding
together of the vines has a tendency to
check growth and lessen production.
The surest way to train grape vines is
fan-fashion. A great fault with some per
sons—we may say many persons—in prun
inggrape-vines, is to have a main stem, in
the first place, and then allow , it to be
twice as long as it ought to be.—The fan
fashion suggested presumes there are many
stem well shortened, and no main stem.
When the garden is shaded—that is
where the sun is excluded about two thirds
of the day—raspberries, currants and
and . gooseberries do well. Parsni"s and
carrots also seem to produce as full crop
as where the sun is unobstructed. This
hint will make many a little garden spot
valuable.
