A Irac try of (be Vinr of ISie.
It was nbont nine o'clock in the morn
itiff when the ship lir.st appeared. At once
there whs the greatest excitement inic
village. It was a Riitis'n wardship. ..-i-Vhat
would bbe do? Would she tack about in
tho bay to pick strange coasters a's'prizes,
or would she land soldiers to burn the towji.?"
Ineithei case theic would it- tioubje-enoiih.
Those were sad days, those old wartimes
in 1310. Tho sic!;fof a Enlisli war-ship
in Most on Bay was not pleasant. We were
poor then, and had no nionitTMR to go and
sink the enemy or drive him off. Ournavy
was small, nud, though wc afterwards had
the victory ami scut the troublesome .ships
away, never to return, at that time they
often came near enough, and the good peo
ple in the little village of Sciiuate Ilaibor
weie in great distress over the strange
ship that bad appeared at the mouth of
the harbor.
It was a fishing-place in those days, and
the haibor was full of smacks and b';its of
all kinds. The soldiers could easily enter
the haibor and burn up everything, and
no one could pi event. There were men
enough to make a good fight, but they
were poorly armed, and had nothing but
fowling pieces and shot-guns, while the
soldiers had muskets and raiinonv
The tide was down during the nioining,
so that there was no danger for a few hours;
and all the people went out on the cliffs
and beaches to watch the ship and to see
what would happen next.
On the end of the low, sandy spit that
makes one side of the harbor, stood the
little white tower kudwn asScituate Light.
In tho bouse behind the Ligh; lived the
kcepet's family, consisting of himself, wife,
and several boys and gills. At the time
the ship appeared, the keeper was away,
and there was no one at home save Sirs.
Hates, the eldest daughter, Ilebecca, about
fourteen years old, two of the little boys,
and a young girl named Sarah Windsor,
who was visiting Kcbccca.
Rebecca had discovered the ship, while
she was up in the light-house tower polish
ing tho reflector. She at once descended
the steep stairs and sent off the boys to the
.village to give the alarm.
For tin hour or two the ship tacked and
stood off to sea, then tacked again, and
made for, the shore. Men, women and
children watched her with anxious inter
est. Then the tide turned and began to
flow into the haibor. The boats aground
on the flats floated, and those in deep water
swung around at their moorings. Isow
the soldiers would probably land. If the
people rocant to save anything it was time
to bo stirring. Doats were hastily put out
from the wharf, and such clothing, nets
and other valuables as could be handled
were bi ought ashore, loaded into hay carts,
and carried away.
It was no use to resist. Tho soldiers, of
course, wore well armed, and if the people
made a stand among the houses, that would
not prevent the enemy from destroying the
shipping.
As the tide spread out over the sandy flat
it filled the harbor so that, instead of a
small chanuel, it became a wide and beau
tiful bay. The day was fine, and there was
a gentle breeze rippling the water and
making it sparkle in the sun. Not much
to think of either while the war-ship
crossed and reerossed before the haibor
mouth. . -
About two o'clock the title Teached high
water mark, and, to the dismay of the peo
ple, the ship let go her anchor, swung her
yards round, and lay quiet about hajf a mile
from tho first cliff. They were going to
land to bnrn the town. Wi'.h their spy
glasses the people conld see the boats low
ered to take the soldiers ashore.
Ah 1 then there was confusion and np
roar. Every horse in tho village was put
into some kind of a team, and the women
and children were hurried off to the woods
behind the town. The men would stay and
offer as brave a resistance as possible.
Their guns were light and poor, but they
could use the old 'ish-house as a fort, and
perhaps make a brave fight of it. if worse
came to worse, they could at least retreat
and take to the shelter of the woods.
It was a splendid sight. Five la.'ge boats
manned by sailors, and filled with soldiers
in gay red coats, ilow their guns glittered
in the stm ! The oars all moved together
in regular order, aud the officers in their
fine uniforms stood up to direct the expe
dition. It was a courageous company com
ing with a war-ship and cannon to fight
helpless fishermen.
Po Rebecca I5ales and Sarah Windsor
thought, as they sat up in tho light-house
tower looking down on the procession of
boats as it went past the point and entered
the harbor.
4 'Oh ! if I only were a roan !"' cried Re
becca. "What could you do? See what a lot
of them; and lot. k at. their guns!"
"I don't care. I'd tight. I'd use father's
old shot-gun anything! Think of uncle's
new boat and the sloop."
"Yes; and all the boats."
'It's too bad; isn't it?"
"Yes; and to think we must sit here
and see it all and not lift a finger to help."
'Do you think there will be a fight ?"
"I don't know. Uncle and father are
in the village, aud they will do ail they
can."
'ftc-e how still it is in the town.- There's
not it roitatt'le seen."
"(Jli, they are hitting till the soldiers pc'.
nearer.- Then we'll hear the shots and the
drum."'
.--"lQjitlnwna !, Ilow can they ! It's here.
FfTtVier br'oCght it lionie to mend it hist
nihf."' "V"-"
'nid;h'e;?- .Oh ! theii let's "
, 'oSee, the lir.st boat has reached the sloop.
Oh ! They are going to burn her,"
"Isn't it mean ?'
"It's too bad ! too " -.."'
"Whore is that drum
"It's in the kitchen."
' I've a great mind to go down-aud beat
it."
"What good would that do ?"
"Scare 'em."
"They'll see it was only two gi'ls, and
they woulj laugh and gj tin buini.tg just
the same."
"No. We could hide behindihe sand
hills and the bushes. Come let".- -"
"Ob, look ! look ! The sloop's afire !"
"Come, I can't stay and see it any more.
The cowardly Britishers to burn the boats !
Why don't they go up to the towu aud
fight like "
"Come, let's get the drum. It'll do no
harm; and pel haps "
'Well let's. There's the fife, too. We
might take that with us."
"Yes ; and we'll "
No time for further talk. Down the
steep stairs of the tower rushed the two
young patriots, bent on doing what they
could Cor their country. They burst into
the kitchen lik3 a whirlwind, with rosy
checks, and flying hair. Mrs. Rates sat
sorrowfully gazing out of the window at
the scene of destruction going on in tho
harbor, and praying for her country and
that the dreadful war might S'Kin be over.
She could not help. Sons and husbands
w ere sbouldeiing their poor old guns in the
town, and there was nothing to do but to
watch and wait and pray.
Not so the two girls. They meant to do
something, and, in a fever of excitement,
they got the drum and toedc the cracked
fife from the old bureau drawer. Mrs.
Bates, intent on the scene outside, did not
heed them, and they slipped out by the
back door, unnoticed.
They must be careful, or the soldiers
would see them. -They went round back
of the house to the north and towards the
outside beach, and then turned aud plough
ed through the deep sand just above high
water mark. They must keep out of sight
of the boats, and of the ship also. Luckily
she was anchored to the south of the light ;
and as the beach curved to the west, they
soon left her out of sight. Then they
took to the waterside, and, with the drum
between them, ran as fast as they could
toward the mainland. Presently they
reached the low heaps of sand that showed
where the spit joined the fields and woods.
Pauling and excited, they tightened up
the elium and tried the fife softly.
"You lake the fife, Sarah, and I'll
drum." Wc must march along the shore
towards the light."
"Won't they see us?"
"No; we'll walk next the water, on the
outside beach."
"Oh, yes; and they'll think its soldiers
going down to tho Point to head 'em off."
"Just so. Come, begin ! One, two one,
two!" Drum ! drcm I drum 1
Squeak ! squeak ! ! squeak ! ! !
"Forward march!" : -.
- "Ila ! ha !" - "
The fife stopped.
"Don't laugh. You'll spoil everything,
and I can't pucker my lips. ;
Drum ! drum ! ! drum ! ! ! ' -Squeak
! squeak ! ! sqiicak ! ! l'
The men in the towu heid it aud were
amazed beyond measure. 'Had the sol
diers arrived from Boston? What did it
mean? Who were coming ?
Louder and loutler on the breeze came
the roll of a sturdy drum and the sound
of a biave fife. The soldiders in the boats
heard the noise, aud paused in their work
of destruction. The officers ordered every
body into the boats in the greatest haste.
The people were rising ! They were com
ing down the point with cannons, to head
them off! They would bo captured, and
perhaps hung by the dreadful Americans !
Ilow the drum rolled ! The fife changed
its tune. It played "Yankee Doodle"
that horrid time 1 Hark ! The men are
cheering in the town ; there were thou
sands of them in the woods along the
shore !
In grim silence marched the two girls
plodding over the sharp stones, splashing
through the puddles Rebecca beating the
old d;um with might and main. Sarah
blowing the fife with shrill determination.
Ilow tho Britishers scrambled into their
boats ! Cue of the brave officers was
nearly left behind on the burning sloop.
Another fell overboard and wet his good
clothes, in his haste to escaped from the
American army marching down tjie beach
a thousand strong ! How the sailors
pulled ! No fancy rowing now, but des
perate haste to get out of the place and es
cape to their ship.
Ilow the people yelled and cheered on
shore ! Fifty iren or more jumped into
boats to prepare for the chase. Ringing
shots began to crack over the water.
Louder and louder rolled the terrible
uiii, Sluup aud clear rang out the cruel
fife.
Nearly exhausted, half dead with fa-,
tigue, the girls rolled on tearful, laughs
ing, ready to drop on the wet sand, and
stili beating and blowing with fiery cour- ;
age.
The boat swept swiftly out of the har
bdron the outgoing tide. The fishermen
came' up with the burning boats. Part
stopped to put out the fires, and the
rest pursued the flying enemy with such
shots s they could get at them. In the
midst of it all the.sun went down.
The red coats did not return a shot.
They expected every minute to see a thous
and nun open on them at short range,
from the beach, and they reserved their
powder.
Out of the haibor they went in confu
sion and dismay. The ship weighed an-,
chor and ran out hci big guns, but did not
fire a shot. Daikness fell dowu on the
scene as the boats reached the ship. Theu
she sent a round shot towards the light.
It fell short and thiew a great fountain of
white water into the air.
The girls saw it aud dropping their drum
and fife, sat down on the beach and laughed
until they cried.
That night the ship sailed away. The
great American army of two had arrived,
and she thought it wise to retreat in time.
Rebecca is still living, old and feeble in
bod3", but brave in spirit and strong in pa
triotism. She told this story herself to the
writer, and it is true. '

The Wayto Jcdceof Wool ox a Live
Sheep. The fiuest and softest wool is al
ways found on the shoulders of a sheep
But not one persou in ten thousaud is aware
of this fact. Let us watch an expert when
he is about to pass judgement on a sheep
concerning the value of the animal for pro
ducing wool, and it will be seen that ho
always looks at the wool on the shoulders
first. A writer of extensive exiierience in
roaring finc-wooled sheen, and in handling
wool, communicates the following sugges
tions for selecting a good wooled sheep :
Alwaysassumingthat the wool isgooel, we
first examine the shoulders at the part w hero
the finest and best wool is unusually found.
This we take as tbo standard, and compare
it with the wool from the ribs, the thigh,
the rump and the shoulde imparts, and the
nearer the wool from the various portions
of the animal approaches the standard, the
better. First we scrutinize the fineness,
and if the lcsult be satisfactory, we pro
nounce the fleece in respect of fineness very
"even." Next we inquire into the length
of the staple, and if we find that the wtnil
on the ribs, thigh and back approximates
reasonably in length to that of our stans
dard, we again declare the sheep, as re
gards length of staple, tine aud even.
We next desire to satisfy ourselves of the
density of the fleece ; and if we do this by
closing the hand upon a portion of the
rump and of the loin wool, the fleece r.t
these points being usually the thinest and
faulty, and if this again gives satisfaction,
we signify the fact by designating the wool
."even" as respects density.
Now to summarize these separate exam
inations. If you find the flee-ce of nearly
equal fineness from the shoulder to the
thigh ; of nearly equal length on shoulder,
rib, thigh and back, and density on
shoulders and across the loins, you may
conclude that you have nearly a perfect
sheep for producing valuable wool. Se
lecting sheep for valuable feeders is quite
another thing.

faster th an Tom, let him put his money up
and it will be coveitd. Tom baked pan
cakes for a whole army corps, and he did
nothing else while there. Y'our correspon

meet Tom, who readily entered into a con
versation with the writer. "Tom," in
quired your correspondent, "if you baked
so many pancakes, I don't see how jou
greased the griddle fast enough." "Why,"
replied the champion pancake baker, "you
must know I had a griddle thirty feet cir
cumference, and I kept two darkies with
large pieces of pork strapped to the poles
of their feet, skating around tin the grid
dle. Every time wo turned a cake wc
tossed it high in the air, so as to open the
pores of the underside and make it tender.
I tell you tho air was thick with pancakes.
I baked them so fast that the boys wouldn't
cat the cold ones, so we used them for
brcastwoiks, and once when a regiment
of iebt' look our brcastwoiks, they pro
cured enough pancakes to feed them for
sixteen months, and that is all they had,
for their rations had given out two days
before, and the smell of the pancakes made
them fiht like devils to capture our

M. Taraf has, to a certain extent, solved
the problem of artificial irrigation by the
discovery of a method of doing without
rain. His plan ia to apply calcium chlo
ride, which has a powerful afToiity for mois
ture, and absorbs a large quantity from
the atmosphere. From actual experiments
he lias found that it will produce irrigation
more efficiently and cheaper than any
other artificial method. One application
will, he states, produce and retain abund
ant moisture for tliree days, when the same
amount c-f wator applied in the ordinary
way, would evaporate in an hour. The in
ventor believes that his way is cheaper
than canal irrigation, and that not only
by its use two bLide cf grass will be pro
duced where oiily one is now, but that it
will make it possible to have fields, mead
ot.8, gross and prosperity where now thera
is nothing but sand and desert waste.
The Great Enstauails Cave, which ex

Athens, known as Cleage's Etdge, is liter

ever ventured far into the dirk and myste
rious depths of the great cavern, and little
is known of it further than an oil tradition,
now faxling away, that a party of Da Soto"
men who crossed the lliawasse at the Sa

took refuge in it only to be walled up and
