RECOLLECTIONS OF 1813.
It was the 24th of;June. The
weather was very warn], and the sun,
at times-obscured by clouds, all the
signs of the sky indicating a common_
ram-storm. For the •last, five miles
we had followed a sort of wagon
track through the woods, keeping, a
sharp look outfor the enetny,,of whom
we saw no signs. It must have been
a, little past 12 o'clock when we came
out of`the woods into.a., cleared field
of six or seven acres, .with another
similar field, separated from the first
by a fence, in the furthest corner of
which second field stood the leg cab.
in of a, settler. From the first of those
clearings, between the second field
and the woods, ran a rough, sort of
lane, fenced on
,both sides with a good
_strong-worm fence., .The column, con
tainingsabout .75Q ,men, entered the
lane, and we began to think a halt
would,be ordered and the rnen
ed to rest and refresh themselves dur
ing the extreme heat of the day,.---
But in this we were doomed to dis
-appointment. Just, asthe rear of the
celumn had becetne enclosed between
the two fenees,,in the lane, a shower
,of bullets,came from the woods., kill
ing and wounding several of ow... Alien.
For a little ,while there was great con
fusion, and the men stood bewildered,
not knowing what to do, • though we
ha.d.all been under fire often, enough
to be, in a measure, considered vete
rans. We .wer„ then ordered to -re
treat to the first clearing, and about
the first thing saw., after • turning
round, was Major Isaac D. Barnard
trying,to get loose from his horse
Which had been shot under him, ;the
poorbrute ,kieking fearfully in : the
agonies of death. - .Retreating to the
middle of the field we formed in line,
but as yet no enemy was• to be seen.
Still the fire from the woods seemed
to increase fearfully in weight. Ina
short time the Indians came up to the
fence in great nu.mbers, a few of them
actually coming over it into the field
These soon found tixeinselves•in a hot
place and made tracks a,gain . for the
woods. We were then ordered to
attack ,them in the woods, and we
charged upon them like perfect dev
ilspthe ripe, red strawberries, of
the clearing woeful', crushing beneath
our feet at every step.
All-this time I had no sensation =of
fear; the prevailing idea was; I should
like to stop and eat some of the,, her,
ries., But such thoughts did notlast
long.' Just as I came to the fence
many of rissaw.a sight which filled
us all with a desire for vengeanee.--
A short time before, at, the _storming
of Fort,George, a ritish officer. had
fallen: Qua of our men, a•very pop.
Oar fellow in the company, had by,
some peens become ~possessed of this
officer's coat ; and wishing.to preserVe

by, at, least. a, dozen- buffets, and as we
charged into thei7ood,:th ere be lay,

but the instant it no longer served for
a cover, a regular shower of balls
whistled around me. .Itly canteen had
one hole through it, my cap two, and
myolethes were cut, in several places,
but my skin, remained untouched.--
While in this. condition I was seen
-by. Col. Boerstler, who - came to me en
'foot. As he was about to raise me... 1
reached for my musket, but he took
it from me and broke it to pieces over
a stump. Few will believe it c btitthe
hiss-of my musket wag - a, far greater
bourn of sorrow to me' than my
wound. But there •was not much
time for feeling - of••any--sort. 'The
Col. whose strength seemed equal to
-that of a giant, picked me up in his
arms; ran with me to a place where
a tree had been bloivn down, and laid

doctor cut offihe leg of my trousers
and wrapped, a flannel rag, dipped in
whiskey round the woun4. I• wen
then" . carried' to a baggage Wagon,
which contained nothing but a- barrel
of Whiskey, on one side of which I
was seated. I did not wait long for
company. In a feW minutes` Captain
11 , 1!Chegney - was brought in, wounded
in the arm, and in the course of half
an hour more than the wagon was
filled.
During this time the firing went
on, the _lndians evidently . afraid to
come to anything like close quarters.
At last our ammunition gave out,
add - our troops could* nb longer re
turn their fire.' A council of the of.
ficers was heldiso it was said, and the
plan` eficipted of - "fighting our way
bat* at the point of 'the 'bayonet.
While 'all this was going on; I sat
peeping out under the Wagon cover,
wondering how the matter would end.
While thus angagbd, r my eye caught
sight of a British `officer, splendidly
Mounted', waving a White, handker
chief on the point of his sword. In
a moment afterwards he was speak
ing.to the Colonel Boerstler, and as
I after Wards learned represented 'to
him that escape or victory Wera, to
us alike impossible, the foreasarround
ing us being far too numerous' for us
to cope with any 'way. Soon after
this I saw Col. Boerstler leave the
Englishmen with the other offibers,
and Walk toWards the two wa,„(rons
which were now full of wounded.—
He appeared very sad and cast 'down.
Poi. a moment or two 'be stood ap
parently in deep thought, then rous
ing himself, 'came and lifted the Wag
on covers and counted-the -number Of
wounded. After looking at- us for
perhaps a minute, he saki. as though

THE. RAGGED SOLDIER
A. TRUE STORY OF THE REVOLUTION
Just at, the close of the Revolution
ary war, there , was:seen somewhere
in one of the small towns of , central
MassaChusetts, a: ragged .and forlorn
looking soldier coming up- the..dusty
street. He looked .about onthe corn
fields tasseling for the harvest, on the
bright patches of wheat for the
sickle, and on the-greenp c dtiato
with Carious eyes,—so atfleast,thought
Mr. Towne, who was walking-leisure
ly behind him, going home from the
reaping to his supper. The latter
was a stout farmer, dressed in home
made brown,linen. trowsers, without
suspenders, vest or coat. The ragged
soldier stopped,under the shade of a
great sugar maple, and Mr. Towne
overtaking him, stopped also.
"Heine from the wars?" he asked.
"qust,out of the British clutches,"
repliedthe mani, 'Tye been a pris
oper for years." He „rejoined end
denly, "Can you tell me who lives in
the next house? Is it yours?" •.
"No," replied Towne, "Tompkins
lives there. That_hotise and •farm
used to belong to a comrade of yours,
as I suppose; his llama was ;Tones,
but he waEi,shot at Bunker Hill, and
his widow married again."
The soldier leaned against the tree.
"What kind of a man is be ? 1 mean
what kind of people are they there ?
Would they . be likely to let a poor
soldier have something to eat?"
"If Tompkins is oat, you'A be treat

a nice woman, hut he is the , snarlielt

"Could you give a poor soldier a

pale, nervous woman who opened the
door.
"My husband dOeS not.allow me to

Mrs, Tompkins fidgeted. ."Dear
Me," she said to herself; "if :he only
knew, he wouldn't, be so cruel as to
let 'Tompkins : come in and catch him
here." She• went and looked from
the window uneasily; but the soldier,
gave no token of Ails meal coming to
an end, "No* he is pouring vinegar
on the cold cabbage and potatoes.-
1 can't ask him ,to take those away
in his hand. Oh dear, how slow he
is ! hasn't the man
,any teeth." At
last she said mildly, "I am very sorry
to, hurry you, sir; but couldn't you
let me spread some bread and butter,
and cut.you some slices of meat to
talre - 'aWaY with you. My husband
will use-abusive language to you if he
finds you here."
Before the soldier could reply, foot
steps were.heard on the door-stone at
the back door, and a man entered.—
Re stopped short, and looked at the
soldier as a savage dog might look.—
Then he broke out in a tone between
a growl arid a roar.
"Hey-day, Molly, a pretty piece of
business!-- What have I told you time
and again,fmadam ? 'You'll find you
had better mind your master. And
you.,,you- lazy, thieving vagabond, let
me see you clear out of my house and
and off of,my land a good deal quick
er than you came on the 'premises !"
".Your house ! and your land !" ex
claimed the soldier, starting suddenly
up, erect - and tall, and dashing off his
hat with a quick, fiery gesture. Ills
eyes flashed like lightning, and his
lips quivered with indignation as he
confronted' the astonished Tompkins.
The latter was afraid of him, and his
wife had' given a 'sudden, nervous
shriek- when the soldier first started
to his feet and flung off his hat, and
had sunk trembling and half-fair,ting
in a chair, for she recognized
. him.
"You hain't any business to inter
fere between me and my wife," said
TOMpkink sulkily, cowed by the atti•
trade of the soldier.
"Yourwife!" exclaimed the soldier,
with the very concentration of con
tempt expressed -in his voice, and
pointing to him with an indignant
finger.
"Who arc you ?" asked Tompkins,
with an air of effrontery.
"I am Harry Jones, since you ask,"
replied the soldier,
- "the owner of this
house, and this land, Which you will
leave this very hour! As for Molly,"
softening his tone as he turned to the
woman, now sobbing hysterically,
"She shall choose between tis:"
"0 Barry sobbed she, while
Tompkins stood dumb with astonish

With one step he was at .her side,
holding bar hig„arms., "What.,did
you mean, treating-this poor child so?
Did you think because she had no

.No man who is cruel to a woman
is ever truly brave, and Tompkins

into a compact and close-grained mass
such as constitute felt. When the
yolk has been extracted by a chemi
cal process, the wool has a tendency
to interlace its fibres, and to adhere
firmly to the union thus formed ; and
from a very remote period this secret
was possessed by the Orientals. The
hats which are constantly alluded to
in Scripture--those, for instance,
which were bound upon the heads of
Shadraeh and Abednego, when they
were cast into the Assyrian, furnace
—were genuine hats, but probably
adorned by turban cloths wound
about them. I have seen the self.
same hats—tall, narrow cylinders of'
gray felt, surrounbed by a handker-
chief or cloth—on the heads of the
Jews of Asia. 'Nor was the use of
the hat a Hebrew monopoly. The
KUrds, Persians, Armenians and some
tribes of Turks and Tartars wear the
hat, as their fathers did in Saladin's
day. The hif, , lriamb'srool bonnet
of the Persian is but a brimless hat,
With a nap of exancrated roughness.
The Nestorian Christians of Kurdis
tan wear hats almost exactly similar
to a battered Irish caubeen, only of a
brown or dirty white color. Through
out the East, the dervishes and wand
ering Talcirs.may be known by the tali
narrow hat of light hued felt, adorn
ed.by a greasy rag, and towering up
ward like a chimney-pot.
DR HAYES AND THE NORTH
POLE.
Dr. Hayes has been unfortunate.—
He started gallantly to achieve what
Dr. Kane had left unconsummated.
He enlisted an enterprising crew_, and
he has no doubt done all that a brava
man could accomplish. But he only
reached a point between eighty-one.
and eighty-two degrees of latitude.
The points reached by former nay.
igators were as follows :
Lord Mulgrave 80 deg. 48 min.
Hudson 81 deg. 30 min.
Scoresby 81 deg. 30 min.
Kane (Morton) 82 deg. 27. min.
82 deg. 45 mill..
Franklin 84 deg. 34 min.-
It was the plan of Dr. Hayes to en
ter Sinith's Sound, and sail up the .
west coast as far as possible, and then
either by'sledge or boat attempt to
reach the open sea around the. Pole.
It was supposed that the climate of
the west coast of Smith's Sound was
milder than that of the east coast,
and that it was by that route par ex
cellence that the Pole could be reached..
But it was the misfortune of Dr.
Hayes when he reached Smith's Sound:
to find its mouth firmly frozen over.
1)r. Kane, it will be remembered, en
tered Smith's Sound, and was then ,
frozen fast. But Dr. Hayes could not
enter. Ho, therefore remained an
other year, awaiting the effect of an
other summer. But the Barrier re
mained closed. He, therefore, tried
sledging over the ice. But this, for
long distances, is severe work, and
they gave in, as we said, at a point;
between eighty-one aed eighty-two
degrees. It thais 'appears that Sir
John Franklin has reached nearly
ly two degrees nearer the poles than
any other explorer. •
We 'cannot - forbear syinpathizing
with Dr. Hayes, and would fain put
him aright before the public. There .
are some thinge that human power
cannot accomplish. It would seem•
essential to. any favorable progress by
Smith's S'ound toward the _North
Pole, that that Sound should be open.
to vessels at some point in the sum
mer. In another words it seems too.
far for any human beings to make
their way by sledge from below 'the .
mouth of Smith's Sound to the pole.-
If advantage could be taken of a fa
vorable moment to pass the mouth of
the Sound, and pierce by water to the
83d or 84th degree of latitude, thew
by sledge or boat the Pole might be
reached, for there are many facts go-.
ing to show that the limit of extreint,
cold is some degrees below the Pole.-
`Mr. Lamout, a Scotehman, accom
panied by Lord David Kennedy, went
a summer or two since, to hunt sea
horses in Spitzbergen. Mr. Lamount
has published a very interesting ac
count of their voyage, called "seasir'':
with the Sea-horses." They bad tw,
vessels, the yacht Ginevra, end the
"jalit," or sloop "Anna Louisa," which
they obtained at Hammerfest, which
is by the way further north than any
town in Europe. They were very suc
cessful in the object of their voyage,.
having killed 46 walruses and 88 seals,
01 reindeer, besides 8:polar bears and
a white whale. They have some claim,
therefore, to be heard about the Arc
tic discovery...
Mr. Lamont differs from Dr. Kane
about an open Polar sea. His opin
ion ie that for six hundred miles a
round the Pole there is nothing but
solid ice, unless there may happen
to be some frozen land. But he
thinks at the same time that the
Polo might be reached from Spitzbur
gen over the ice by sledge, "if there
were sufficient inducements to make
the attempt." Most people certainly
would be more interested in thin than
spending a summer in killing seals
and walrusses.
From the extreme north of Spitz.
bergen, it is only, he says six hundred
miles to the Pole. Hisplan would be
to go there in the summer with Alen-
typf.sledges and dogs, select a shel•
tered , harbor, and pass the, summer
in killing - Reindeer. od . wild fetil for
the men, and .fiVidrallaS and seals for
