ANII:THEN FIGHT.
BY MRS. I N. HORTON.
It was an exciting time in the village
school it on that sultry August
day, in: 1778, when the teacher, Miss Experi
ence Dowd, tow jier scholars of the fipiztir t e
of her young brotherDivid, by the crew cff
a strangcr Wit dii the Sound. lie Was a
stout boy of fifteen; and often paddled his
little skiff near the shore in search of clams
or fish: On that day, he had ventured an
incautious distance from- the land in response
to signals supposed to come from a friendly
sail boat which the ,wind: wouldnot allow to
come in. But insteadof finding only (as he
believed, a customer for his little cargo, he
"caught a Tnrtar," as the saying is, and was
captured. The, transaction was seen by a
neighbor who waS raking for oysters, bud. be
fore the alarm could be given, the boy kid
hi!, 'kidnappers were out ,of sight. This .cc
ti od, as the reader will understand, during
clank 'days of American struggles for
;liberty and .equal rights—struggles in this
our day, 'bravely, renewed—liberty and the
right to be onec more conquered, and for
ages! IliaVenblesa the brave defenders of
the Was and Stripes!'
No doubt was felt that these boy-stealers
were from a British intiii-of-ivar then known
to be cruising. on Long Island Sound; the
enemy having at that time possession of
New Yerk. VVlen Miss -Dowd, with tearful
eyed and trembling lips, related the affair to
her young Gimle t the girls - of the school
wept for Synipathy, **hilt,' the little boys (in
the spirit ,of Whig. marched - d i ) 'clenched their
dimpled fists, and threatened revenge. One
of the scholars alone was, tearless, and voice
less., though;pale with thought, and high're
solve,
gable Hart knew David well, and loved
him dearly. Ruthie•was a shy, quiet child—
so small,m 4titiacs that she looked, only like
a,' little airy of six or seven summers, though
she was actually twelve years old. But in
Mind,' the girl was more deeply mature.
She observed keenly, felt strongly, and rea
soned i stly., The yonng David Dowd (a
D. D. Without the help of college.) until this
saTttier hatt alviaya been her schoolmate and
better-appreciated her than. her mother or
brethers. Mistress Hart had been a widow
,hMatifyl3al43, She had five boys growing to
ood, - who assisted her in the work of the
farm, although she had the care and Taw
ogettent. She " did not think much °nem
-ing-," as she often said. But Ruthie was tee
small to be worth any thing at home; and
so Was allowed to attend school, summer and
winter; and the busy, bustling mother 'who
was a notable housewife, left her child to her
•chosen studies and fancies.
On the same August day, the British ship
MaCedonian lay at anehor in Long Island
,Sound, though not visible to the naked CV
from the Connecticut shore. A group of of
ficers were gathered on the deck, question
ing David Dowd, whom their boat's crewbad
Tst decoyed and captured, as reported.

and when evening came, forced him twac

David, the 'officer and his men quickly sur
rolinded•the house, and forced an entrance.
Ruthie Hart' shared that night, as usual,
her mother's bed; but she could not sleep.
Her eldest brother, a manly youth of eigh
teen, was on garrison, as stated at the Fort.
The; wo next in sge slept in the large unftn-
AO& attic; while the twin brothers, younger
than Ilithie lay in the trundle bed beneath'
thAr mother's. All, save the wakeful sister,
were soundly slumbering. She, peer child, was
thi4ing of "Davie," and his uncertain fate.
" Who would they capture next ? " If they
wanted boys, here were her brothers : would
they come and seize them ? Not in the
day time surely—far Davie's fate would put
them on their , _guard. But they might come
in' the hight--and their house was far friiin
any neighbor; she trembled at the thought.
Bra t then rose a question, what could she do

What could they do`?` JoSePh had taken'theirt
only gun to the Port. The Fort r
was the place for help. True, it was two
miles off, to follow ''the road which wound
along the coast. ' But there was a short cut
to it throuo the woods, which lay- a little
back of thew house. .She knew every rod of
the way; and could run there in almost no
time. Yes—She shouldn't *AT to'undo the

she'd s mind to get up and see. Quickly
suiting the action 'to* the.. thought, Ruthie
stepped across her sleephiguiether • and tak

the stairs. Passing noiselessly the; bed 'of
her older brothers, who were snoring
and catching her Woolen cloak from its peg;
to cover her shoniderth she sprang, out the.

Ruthie stops for nothing. Quick as &bird,
and fearless even in the darkness She bounds
along to'the woods, and flies through the -

errand, the garrison is, quioklY roused,; and
a company headed by Ruthie's brother, are
on their way to the rescue, Meanwhile; the
- farm house had been hastily ransacked from
garret to cellar, and its various stores pillag

curely tied, and the lieutenant kept guard
over them, while his men gathered and con

And when she missed her, she believe her, to
be hidden beneath the bed, and kept
,quiet
for fear of her being dragged from her hiding
place. When the work of. pillage was about
completed, the officer was persuaded by his
men to allow them to regale, themselves, ,ere
they started on their return. So the table
was quickly spread. Loaves of - new bread--- , -
golden rolls of butterma pot of honey—fresh
cream, and'sweet baked apples offered a de

entire party. David Dowd was at liberty—,
the widow and her boys restored' to freedom

soldiers eat the supper which they lia.d bare- .
ly missed, were safely taken to the Fort
Ruthie Hart was praised for her heroiam;
and was asked how a little-girl like her could
do so brave a deed. Her answer was simple
yet suggestive. " I first prayed, and then
ran for the soldiers."— : B4udent and School

handed them ; or . to put red; green, and 'yel

only in June, when the wort is hardest, and
at Christmas. ~I.le meat was allowed in June
on,iome plantations, while
,on a few,, more
liberal, it Was 'dealt', out occasionally—as
ohm a fortnight, or once a month. On a few,
molassekwas 'given at intervals. Children,
varying:with - their 'ages, were allowed from
two to six quarts of . corn per week:. The
diet is more exclusively vegetable here than

were allowod each ' l to 'cultivate a small patch
of ground, `about: a quarter of an acre, for
themselves ' when their work for their Maffei'
was "done. On this corn and potatoes, chiefly
the fornier, were planted, The corn was
partly eaten by :themselves, thus supplying
in part the 'deficiency in rations ; but it was
to a great ,extent fed to a pig or chickens,
each hand being allowed to , keep a pig, and
chickens or ducks, but.n'ot, geese or turkeys.

geherally sold to their masters,; and at pretty
low rates, extra Clothing; coffee, sugar, and
that necessary'of life with these people, as
