Iu tho early nutuiiin of 1848 I ojo,trnccl a row days at Now London on tho Thames, In Connecticut, nnd visited places of Inter est In the vicinity. Trc-emlnent ainonn these was Jount Lctlyard cr Uroton Ueights, on tho opposite side of the river, wlitch Is surmounted by a tall granite obe lisk one hundred anil twenty-seven feel lilgb. It was erected In 1830 near the di lapidated old Fort Griswokl, then without ordnance or garrison, to commemorate the deeds of brave patriots who perished tbere in a brutal massacre, while helpless prison er, by Uritlsh and German soldiers, led bi a'Kcw Jersey Tory, lu September, 1781. 1 crossed tho Thames on a bright morn ing nnd was climbing the hill on which the monument stands when I met an old resi dent of Groton, a little village opposite iVew London. Ho was a small boy when the massacre occurred, and remembered It, but could ciyc very little Infoimatton. He referred me to "Mother Bailey," the post- ini?trcss at Groton, who was a young wo man at tho time, and whoso lover, who be camo her husband, narrowly escaped. After visiting tho fort and monument 1 called on Mrs. Bailey and was amply re warded. Sho was then over eighty-five years of at;e. .She sat reading her Bible when I cntefed her room, and sho arose willi a pleasant smile of welcome that brlahtenetl her wrinkled face. I bad been , forewarned that she was a most ardent pol itician of the Democratic school, and thai If I was a political friend of General Tay lor, the then Whig candidate fortho Presi dency of tho liepublic, I need not expect any Information from her, for she could not tolerate a political opponent. So fore warned, I was forearmed; and when liei almost first uttered words were, "What art Cass's prospects In New York?" I declared my belief (which was sincere) that he would be elected, and added, with some mental reservation, "At uny rate ho ought to b elected." This was the key that unlocked the casket of her kindly fcellng.and I spent an miur agreeably and profitably with her. Mrs. Bailey bad been made a widow only a very short time before my visit, by tin tleatli of her htisbanJ, Captain Elijah Bai ley, who had held the office of postmastei at Groton for the space of fortyyears. He was appointed by President Jefferson In 1803. At lils death his official mantle was placed upon the shoulders of his venerable widow. He too was an ardent politician. but was suipassed In partisan zeal by hit wife, who lu the embellishment of her room exhibited the Intensity of her partisanship. I hero were lithographed likenesses of Jackson and "Van Buren, from whose head; sho had received locks of hair, which she suowetl me. Their portraits were bunt; In a good liglit, while those of tho Whlcs, Clay and Frclingbuysen, were In an ob scure place, with their beads downward. Mrs. Bailey gave mo an interesting ac count of some of the Incidents of that fatal morning at Fort Grlswold. The garrison was commanded by Colonel JHllIam Led yard, a native of Groton- and a frlend'of her father. He lived not far from the fort, and the home of Mrs. Bailey was In full sight of It. The Invaders wcrp led by the traitor, Benedict Arnold. They landed In two divisions, one under Colonel Eyre, on the east or Groton side of the Thames, and the other, under Arnold, on the New Lon don Side. The militia flocked to the fort In such li:t to that many of them were with out arms. Arnold burned New London; E; re marched against Fort Grlswold. "I saw the American flag that was flying oyer the southwest bastion shot-down," said Mrs. Bailey. "The Hessians made a furious assault on the fort, and a hard fight continued for about three-quarters of an hour. Colonel Eyro was mortally wound ed, and Major Bromfield (I was told), a wicked New Jersey Tory, took the com mand. Very soon tho assailants broke Into the fort, where, as I was told afterward, BiomQeld demanded of Colonel Ledyard, MI'ho commands this fort?' The Colontl Dolltcly replied, 'I did, sir, but jou do now,' ami handed tho Major his svord. Bromfield Immediately ran Colonel Led yard throtiyh with his own sword, and so murdered him. Tho Helslans nnd Tories followed the example of their leader, and murdered no less than seventy of the de fenseless garrison and badly wounded forty five others. The savages would uot allow the wounded a drop of water. They loft during the night by the light of burning New London, which Arnold had set on fire. Tho next morning I saw Fanny Ledyard,- vbo was visiting the family of tho murdered Colonel, come crying out of the sally-port, for sho had seen the dead body of her uncle. She had gone cautiously into the fort, with two palls cf water, not know ing whether the ruffians bad left. She was tho first to moisten tha Hps of tho poor sufferers." Mrs. Bailey's lato husband, then a youth about seventeen years old, was la the fort just previous to the attack. He and Mr. Williams were ordered to man a gun at a redoubt In advance ot the fort. They were directed, In the event of their not being abl to rwtat ih mvrmj successfully, to re treat to the fort. They were compelled to abandon tht Run. Williams fled to the fort and was murdered. Young Bailey stopped to spike the gun, and when ho reached the fort Hm gile was e)od and barred, lit Jumped overs fence lulo a corn-field, where he lay concealed until the battle was over and the roatftscre was ended, and so he was saved. n 'He wai wmrtlns me, Mlit Anna Warn er, at that vrv time, bor as ho was," said Mrs. Bailer, as sho related the circum stances to me. "I was six months older than he," she said; "Just old enough to make him draw tho cider after we were married." Mrs. Bailey had many things (o tell roe of her experience there during the war of 1812-19 the Second War for Independence, Commodore Decatur, with tho frigates United Slaltn and Jacctfonfan, ran Into the Thames op to Now London and above In tho inmmcr of 1813, and was there blockaded by a British squadron. At one lime, when that squadron threatened to bombard New London the military forces that manned Fort Trumbull, In too harbor, wen- deficient In flannel for making cannon cartridges. Every family In New London and Groton was visited In search of the needed material, and a considerable quan tity was cheerfully tent to the garrison Mr. Latham, a neighbor of Mrs. Bailey. came to her seeking more. She started out and collected all tho little petticoats of children that sho could find In tho village. " 'This Is not half enough, Mrs. Bailey,' said Latham to me; 'can't you find more?1 " ' ou shall have mine too,' I said, as I cut with my scissors the string that held It to my waist and handed It to Latham. It was a heavy new one. which I had spun and woyen myself, but Idldn't care a groat for that. All I wanted was to have It do duty for my country," and her blue eyes sparkled with the recollection. ll'lmu Latham told the story to eomo of Decatur's men, who were assisting the garrison, they declared It would be a shamo to cut up that garment Into cartridge pat terns; It ought to flutter at tho masthead of ono of their frigates as an ensign, under which they would fight right gallantly out on tho broad ocean. But those irlgates had no occasion to raise an ensign or open their ports, for they were kept prisoners In the Thames for tho remainder of the war. a period of about twenty months. Mrs. Bailey gave mo an account of the festlvltcs at New London after tho Presi dent's proclamation of peace, early In 1815, was received, In which she and her hus band participated. On tho ovenlng of the 21st of February a ball was given at the court-hcuse. Tho town was brilliantly 11- ruminated. Admiral Uothan was tho com mander o! tho British squadron blockading the Thames. Ho was highly esteemed by the citizens, for, llko his predecessor, Com modore Hardy, ho was a gentleman, and his conduct had been marked by forber mice and courtesy. His flagship was the Superb. Ho determined to join In the fes tivities ou that occasion. Announcing the patole on his ship to be "Atncna," and the countersign "Amity," he and bis officers went on shore, mingled freely aud cordially with the inhabitants, and danced at the ball with the ladles of Now London. "I was then just fifty years old," said Mt-3. Bailey when telling me the story, "but I was as spry as any of tho girls, plump and fair, dressed In a Canton-crepe gown, low-necked, short-walsted and short sleeved. I remember I had a string ot gold beads around my neck and whlto slippers on my feet. The Admiral was almost sev enty years old, yet he was as frisky as a fox, with a jolly red faco and whit hair. 1 danced two cotillons with him. Captain Bailey said I was the prettiest Woman at the ball, and ho was a good judge. Now don't laugh at me because of my vanity. I love to remember It because my husband said It," and tears glistened In her eyes. I havo no doubt of the justice ot the Captain's remark, for at the great ago of eighty-five years there were In the faco of this remarkable woman remains ot former "beauty. She was still vivacious, her smile wa3 wlnuinc, and her large blue oyes re tained much of their former lustre. And when a llttlo later I asked her permUslon to make a pencil sketch ot her face, she consented with almost coquettish readiness. When I remarked, as I was tracing the out lines, "Captain Bailey was a good Judge," sho Instantly replied: "I was never ashamed of my face." Alas, poor Anna Bailey I On tho 10th of January, 1851, a llttlo more than three years after my visit, her clothes took fire audshewats burned to death at the age ot over eighty-eight years.

In hours of ambition and pleasure we may tome times forget Us exquisite sweetnzss, but let sickness or sadness come, and we return to It at once. Let tho hollow hearts that feign a friend ship which they do not feel stand revealed before us let us know, as we all must at moments, that however Important wo may be in our own estimation, our places would be filled at an hour's notice should we die to-morrow; then we whisper to ourselves the magic word, "nomel" and are com forted. It Is where those we love dwell wherev er that may bo where wo are valued for ourselves and are held In esteem because of what we are In ourselves, and not be cause of power, or wealth, or what we can do for other people. Who would bo without a home? IFho would take the world's applause and honor In place of the tenderness of a few true hearts and the cozy fireside meetings where the truth may be spoken without disguise, and envious carpings are nnknown?
