WRITTEN FOR A CHILD BV DAVID PAUL BROWN.
O guard mc through the shades of night,
Saviour and Lord, I humbly pray ;
Surround and shield me with thy might,
And bless me through the coining day.
Bless me in youth —bless me in years,
And bind me in the bonds of Love:
Inspire my hopes—dispel my fears,
And train me for the realms above.
In all I do, and think, and say.
Direct and counsel me, O Lord :
Sleeping or waking, night or day,
Sustain me by thy sov'reigu word:
. And when I yield Ibis fleeting breath,
And fly to meet thee face to face,
Preserve me from eternal death—
Still bless me, thro' Redeeming grace.
Bless parents, brothers, sisters—all
In health and sickness—joy and griof—
| Whate'er betides—wliate'er befal,
Be thou their solace and relief.
Teach them and me, how weak—how vain—
How worthless are these scenes below,
Where mirth is mourning—pleasure pain.
And proud rejoicing turns to wo.
Let me, dear Lord, alone rejoice
In prayer and grateful praise to thee ;
I Subdue my heart—attune my voice,
And mould me for Eternity.
'Tis not for a frail child of dust
To breathe a wish before thy throne :
In thee, in thee alone, I trust ;
Then let thy sacred will he done.
Make me but Thine —point out the road,
Thro 4 flowers or thorns, thro 1 smiles or care
That leads mc to thy bright abode,
That I may join my Saviour there.

TIIE REBEL PEDLAR.
CHAPTER I.
It was near six o'clock, one warm, sul
try night in the month of September, 1778.
that a party, consisting of some one hun
dred horsemen, dressed in the uniform of
British light horse, rode rapidly along the
road traversing the right bank of the San
tee, South Carolina, and took their way
toward the dwelling house of Walter Steel.
They were commanded by Hugh Langs
ford, a bloody and cruel officer in the
English service—one who had been select
ed and placed in the position lie occupied
on account of his adamantine heart and
tyrannical disposition, for the express pur
pose of teaching the surrounding inhabi
tants due observance of his Majesty's laws
On many occasions he had exercised
his authority in the most barbarous man
ner, wantonly burning the houses of known
Whigs, and ruthlessly hanging the owners,
without provocation, save their liberal
opinions. His name had become a terror
to all the patriotic inhabitants of the
States ; the more so, as (.'en. Francis Mar
ion, the only rebel partisan who offered
any resistance to the British troops, had
been for some time absent in North Caro
lina, leaving Langsford undisputed sway
over the region.
Wallet Steel, toward v.hose house
Langsford was now making his way, was
a well-known sterling whig, and had been
heard to advance opinions boldly in favor
of the Revolutionists, and directly in op
position to King George. Many wondered
why he had escaped the vengeance of
Langsford ; but there had been a charm,
powerful in its nature, hanging around the
dwelling of the aged rebel, which had so
far preserved his home scathless.
Mary Steel had won the admiration of
the captain, and this had ripened into love
on his part, and as is usual upon such oc
casions, he wished and strove to appear in
a favorable light to her, and of course
treated her father and his family with all
the lenity in his power.
From the bottom of her heart Mary de
spised the bloody officer ; but aware that
her father's life depended upon her actions,
she coquetted with Langsford in such a
manner as to induce him to believe he
was the idol of her heart. But he was
soon to be undeceived.
He had heen called to Charleston, and
had been absent from Santee about two
weeks, and at the time he is here intro
duced he was returning with fond expecta
tions to Steel's, having determined to be
come at once united to the object of his
affections.
As he was riding leisurely along the
road, the distance to the farm house being
about three miles, he was suddenly accos
ted by a man, who sprang from the bushes
by the way and placed himself in front of
his horse.
" Your mission is bootless," exclaimed
the comer. " Return at once to Charles
ton."
44 Who are you ?" demanded Langsford,
in vain endeavoring to trace the man's
features in the gloom of the night.
44 One who knows why Captain Langs
ford seeks the house of farmer Steel," re
plied the inan. " But 1 tell you Mary
marries another and a more favored lover,
who is even at the house now."
44 Then his audacity shall cost, him his
life," retorted the Captain fiercely, as he
put spurs to his horse and galloped on,
followed by his men.
44 \nd I rather guess yours will cost vdu
FICIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 13, 1830.
! about the same," exclaimed the man who
had given the information as he disappear
ed in the bushes.
A half hour sufficed for Langsford to
reach the house of Steel, which was in
stantly surrounded in silence, he having
ordered his men to dismount when some
; distance from the dwelling, and leaving a
| part in charge of tlie horses, approached
! with the others on foot.
Having stationed his troopers so that no
one could leave the house, he approached
; the parlor window from which a light
shone, and carefully discovered Mary in
conversation with a young man of some
three and twenty years of age, dressed in
1 the light blue uniform of the rebel army.
The first word he heard pronounced was
his own name, and almost breathlessly he
listened.
44 1 have been constrained," ho heard
; Mary say, 44 for the purpose of saving my
father's life, and prevent our house from
being pillaged, to treat Langsford in a
manner that I would scorn to do were I
placed in other circumstances. If you
knew how I detested him, if vou could feel
how 1 loathed his advances, you would
say that policy alone dictated ray conduct.
No, Harry, 1 never loved any one but you,
and 1 would die sooner than 1 would be
; come the wife of that blood thirsty British
demon."
And Langsford stood there at the win
dow and heard it all.
\ ou should have seen his brow contract,
and his face turn red and pale in rotation,
and beheld his teeth sink in his under lip,
until the warm blood ran trickling down
his chin, and fell drop !>v drop ou his hea
ting bosom; yet he stirred not, but with
every muscle trembling like an aspen, he
I listened for the reply.
44 I believe you. Mary, and never vet
doubted the real cause of your actions :
hut I trust there will be no more cause for
dissembling. Marion has returned to the
Santoo, his blood boiling to avenge his
countrymen upon this same Langsford, and
woe to the puppet of English power if lie
leaves the streets of Charleston lor the open
country at present."
44 But he is coming, 1 got a letter from
him the other day, couched in the most
loving lerins, in a few days to claim his
bride. I threw the abhorred letter in the
fire, anil wished he might break his neck
first."
Langsford could stand if no longer.—
The warm blood bad rushed into his face
tiil it was red as scarlet, and drawing bark
his right hand hi 4 dashed the window in i>v
a vigorous blow, and exclaimed in a voice
of thunder—
-44 And he is here to claim his bride, and
hang the traitor that would seduce her
love."
Saying which lie called for his men to
advance, and lie sprang into the room.
Mary Steel uttered one convulsive
scream of horror, ami sank lifeless to the
floor, while the partisan, surprised at the
unexpected interruption, retreated to ihe
side of the room, and placed his hack
against ihe wall, drawing his sabre as he
did so.
44 Ay, ay, my fine fellow, caught in a
trap o( your own setting ?" exclaimed
Langsford, sneering as he glanced at the
rebel. 44 Seize him, men !" he added, to
several soldiers win had by this; time
crowded into the apartment, 44 and guard
him well."
'l'he men advanced to obey, but conclu
ding that resistance would be useless
against such otitis, lie bent bis knee, across
which he snapped his sabre and threw the
pieces upon tlu: Hour. He was thou quick
ly led from the spot.
Langsford being left alone in the room
with Marv, advanced and bent over her
senseless form, which be was about rais
ing in his arms when Walter Steel came
into the apartment. Striding up to the
captain, he placed his left hand against
his shoulder, and pushed Langsford some
what rudely from her hotly, at the same
time raising his daughter with the right.
" A father's attention is best given his
daughter at the present time," he said
sternly, noticing the scowl gathering upon
the officer's brow.
" But remember, Mr. Steel, that 1 am
not to be insulted with impunity," growled
Lansford angrily.
44 And you will recollect, Captain
Langsford, that 1 am master of mv own
household," replied Steel, though a little
touched by the officer's taunt. 44 If you
have anything to say to my daughter, you
must wait till she is recovered."
44 Well, I have a good deal to say, and
will give you just two hours to prepare for
what is to take place," said Langsford,
slowly.
44 .Much obliged to you for your conde
scensions," muttered Steel, in an audible
voice as he bore his child from the room.
CHAPTER 11.
About an hour after the occurrence re
lated in die preceding chapter, a figure
was observed by the sentry, who was sta
tioned in the road in front of the house,
coming quietly toward him, and as it was
a bright moonlight night, he saw that the
person carried two panniers of tin suspen
ded from a yoke over his shoulders. The
sentinel instantly surmised the individual
to he a pedlar, as there was a good many
traversing the country at that time, but it
being his duty to hail everything approach
ing his post, he instantly shouted,
44 Who goes there V
44 Nothing but a pedlar," was the reply,
m the regular drawl of a down-easter." '
! 44 Advance and give the countersign,"
continued the sentry.
44 I'll advance if yeou want me tew, but
Fil be darned if I give away anything."
So saying the pedlar approached the
sentry, where he was met by the corporal
of the guard, who had been attracted to
the spot by the challenge.
44 What have you got to sell ?" repeated
I the corporal.
44 Nothin' that yeou want, unless it be
i this pint bottle,' was the reply, as he held
up a pint bottle of rum.
44 What do you ask for it?" demanded
i the corporal.
44 Not much. If yeou let me into the
yard mong the soljiers, I'll give it tew
i yeou."
44 It's a bargain," answered the corporal
quickly, whose orders had been positive
, to let no one out, but nothing had been
said about not letting people in.
Giving the officer on guard the rum, the
pedlar passed into the yard among the sol
diers, who congregated immediately around
him.
" What have you got to sell, old fel
low ?" yelled one.
44 Got any rum ?" cried a second.
44 Get me out a pack of cards," said a
third.
44 I want a jack knife, shouicd a fourth.
44 (o tew thunder, every one of yeou."
replied the pedlar in a loud voice, as he
put down his panniers. 44 Darn it, dew
yeou think I ve got forty tongues tew an
swer yeou all at once. Who's that want
ed rum?' '
44 Mc, answered the soldier stepping
forward.
44 Y\ ell, I han't got none," retorted the
Yankee to the crest fallen trooper.—
44 Who's that wanted cards ?" he added.
44 Me," said another advancing.
44 W ell, here they be," and the pedlar
took them out. 4 * They're fifty cents a
pack."
44 Let mc see them," and the trooper
held out his hand.
u Darned if 1 dew until yeou let me j
see the money to pay for 'em."
i he man paid the hall dollar, and the
pedlar was soon busy selling off his things
to the soldiers, most of whom wanted
something. \\ hen all had been supplied,
the \ ankee approached the fire, where
two men were cooking the supper, and
displayed his merchandize. I
1 hese men unfortunately were out of '
money, and after endeavoring in vain to
dispose of something to them, he pettishly
exclaimed—
-44 Well, if yeou wont buy anything, 1
can't yeou tell me of somebody who will ?" !
44 ou see that fellow tied to that tree,
don t you ?' said one of the men, pointing
to the rebel lover of Mary, who had been
bound to a sapling near the lire.
44 I rather guess I dew. 4 '
" He's to bo hung in the morning, and
would doubtless hki to buy a black tap
for tiic occasion."
" J hank yeou, mister ; there's a pocket
comb for yeon. I've got one of the black
est caps ever yeou seed."
M hile speaking, the pedlar had thrown
the comb on the ground, and he instantly
made oil" for the prisoner. As he drew
near, the rebel raised his head and gazed
upon him, but his slouched hat completely
hid his features.
44 They say yeou are tew he hung in
the morning, and I tho't yeouM like to
have a black cap tew put on," exclaimed
the pedlar, first breaking the silence.
" Do yon come to taunt me ?" demand
ed the prisoner, quickly.
" No, hut this cap of mine is a darned
good one, and let the people ojj hanging
easy."
The pedlar placed a strong emphasis on
the oil, which caused the prisoner to again
attempt a scrutiny of his features. This
time the matter was not so difficult. The
hat was slipped to one side, and the coun
tenance fully revealed.
44 Heavens, can it he possible ?" mur
mured the rebel, in a guarded tone.
"Hist, or all may bo lost, liny the
cap, and in its top you will find a knife. !
My men arc near by, but we number only
thirty. Stratagem must be used. Cut •
your cords when all are asleep, and then
be oil".
" But Mar}'," said the young officer in
a hollow whisper.
" Shall be saved, rest assured of that."
"Thank you. General, and may God i
bless vou for this."
" Well, I guess you can have it for that,
though it is a little price," exclaimed the
pedlar aloud, observing that one of the
men was approaching the spot, at the same
time handing the prisoner the cap.—
" Take out the knife and put it in your
mouth," he whispered to the youth, " they
are going to search you."
And as he obeyed, the pedlar screened
him with his body. The knife being a
small pen-knife, was easily held inside the
teeth.
4> Darn your pictur, give me the inonev.
1 say !" shou'ed the pedlar, in an excited
voice as the trooper came up beside them.
44 What did you sell him ?" asked the
soldier.
44 That black cap to he hung in."
44 Good ! Ile'll need it in the morning.
Come away with mc, and I'll take you to
j the captain, who'll settle the bill."
44 Will he ? Well, he's a clever fellow
then, sure as shootin. Dew you think I
can sell him anythin ?"
44 More than likely. He's going to be
married to night."
44 Is he ? I've got some of the allfired
est hansum gloves ever yon seed, white as
I thunder all over."
44 Then I think he'll buy a pair."
44 Dew yeou ? Well you're a clever
feller, and here's a pocket-comb lor you."
, They had by this time reached the door
of the captain's room, and the pedlar was
ushered into the presence of Langsford.
Langsford was seated beside Tt table on
which a lamp was burning, casting a dim
light over the room, and his head was rcst
i ing upon his hand, while he appeared so
deeply absorbed in a reverie as not to no
tice the entrance of a trooper.
The man paused inside the door, scraped
his foot once or twice, and finally succeed
ed in arousing the captain, who raised up
his head, stared at them a moment, and
then muttered in an audible voice.
44 Well !"
44 This is tiie pedlar you wanted to see,"
replied the trooper, touching his cap.
! 44 Oh, is it ? Well you may retire."
The trooper did as he was directed, and
; as the. door closed upon his retiring form,
Langsford resumed :
44 Gome a little nearer, Mr. Pedlar, I
want to examine your stock."
Die pedlar obeyed, setting his panniers
down before the officer, and holding the
latnp lor him as he examined the goods.
Die gloves attracted the Captain's eve.
44 1 don t know as I want anything you
have got, hut there is a young lady in the j
house who would doubtless like to pur
chase a pair of these, as she is going to be
married to-night."
44 They're fine gloves."
"No doubt of that. I will send you to
her when I get through with you. But I
want to ask you one question : Which
side do you take in the present strife be- |
itween England and the Colonies ?"
u Me ? Wy, tew to teil the truth, I
rather favor the mother country, though
being nothing but a poor pedlar, and hav
ing tew trade with both sides, 1 have to be
pretty much neutral."
• 4 But do your feelings on the side of |
loyalty prompt you, when opportunity oe- j
curs, to be of service to your King?
44 Don't know but they might—never j
had a chance tew dew anythin' for the
King yet."
44 W ell, I will give you a chance. I i
have every'reason to believe that the arch- !
rebel Marion is hovering not far from this ;
place at the present time."
44 1 kuow he is, I've seen him this verv j
day."
44 W hen—where V demanded Langs- |
ford cagerlv.
I 44 Bout five miles from here, on tlte up
per Santee road. I seen him cutten across
Ben Brady's farm, with about thirty men
follerin' him."
" Then my plan is laid. Go into the
iooin where Miss Steel is, and pretend
sympathy for her, and offer to help her.
She will send to this Marion for aid. Re
turn, and guide me to the spot, and your
fortune is made." -
44 I'll dew it: I'll make her believe I'm
her best friend, get her tew tell me where
this allfircd rebel is campin', and lead you
to the spot."
Taking up his things, the pedlar left the
apartment of Laugsford, and soon reached
the door of the room where Mary Steel
and her father were sitting. Knocking
upon the door, he soon heard lite voice of
Steel demanding who was there.
44 A pedlar, who wants tew sell Miss
Steel some goods," he answered.
A short consultation was heard between !
Mary and her father, and then the door
was unlocked, and the pedlar admitted.
Advancing directly across the apartment
to where Mary was seated by a table, he
immediately made a display of bis goods
before her, butshe immediately exclaimed :
4 - I have no wish to purchase anything,
but if you would do me a service, I will j
pay you well for it."
44 What is it, ma'am V asked the ped
lar, pulling his slouched hat still further :
over his face.
" I am about to be forced into a mar
riage with the captain, who commands the
men now around the house. I hate and
despise him. If you will consent to con
vey a message for me to General Marion,
he will come at once to my assistance and
prevent it."
" Mary Steel !" fell from the lips of the
pedlar, in a soft, musical voice, which riv
etted the eyes of the maiden fixedly on
him. The slouching hat fell slowly off,
revealing to the eyes of the astonished girl
the features of General Marion,
"Oh Marion, this is too much, Why
run this risk—why jeopardise your life in
this reckless manner murmured the
maiden, reproachfully.
•• Nay Mary,methinks if voursharpcyes
could not pierce my disguise, those who
never saw me would not be likelv to make
the discovery. 1 will prevent ibis ntar-

riage, aud teach Lnngsford a lesson in let
ters of blood! Good by for the present."
And the General, who had resumed the
slouching hat and the panniers glided from
the room.
He made his way at once to Langsford's
apartment and found that officer impatient
ly awaiting his return.
44 What news ?" exclaimed the Captain.
41 Good. We've got the rebel sure as
shootin." He's just three miles from here
on the up river road."
44 Do you know the spot exactly ?"
* 4 l guess I dew. 1 can lead yeou rite
tew it."
44 Well, then let's be off at or.ee."
And they left the room.
A quarter of an hour afterward the party
left the house, with the exception of three
troopers, who were left to guard the rebel
lover.

an affectionate wife to her husband, who

The wife obeyed.
