“WILL THE NEW YEAR COME TO-
NIGHT; MAMMA?"
BY CORA M. EAGER.
•
Will the New Year come to-night, mamma?
I'm fired of waiting so—
My stocking hung by the chimney side
Full three long days ago.
I ran to peep within the door
By morning's early light;
'lts empty still-0, say, mamma,
Will the New Year come to-night? -
Will the New Year come to-night, mamma?
The snow is on the hill,
And the ice must be two inches thick
Upon the meadow rill.
I heard you tell papa, last night,
His son must have a sled;
(I didn't mean to hear, mamma,)
And a pair of skates, you said.
I prayed fur just those things, mamma—
-1 shall be full of glee,
And the orphan buys in the village school
Will all be envying me. ••
I'll give them toys sud lend them books,
And make their New Year glad;
For God, you say, takes back his gifts
When little folks are bad.
And won't you let me go, mamma,
Upon the New Year's day,
And carry something nice and warm
To poor old widow Gray ?
I'll leave the basket near the door,
Within the garden gate ;
Will the New Year come to-night, mamma?
It seems so long to wait.
The New Year comes to-night, mamma,
I saw it in my sleep :
My stockings hung so full, I thought—
Mamma, what makes you weep?
But it only held a little shroud—
A shroud and nothing more,
And an open coffin, made for me,
Was standing on tho floor.
It seem'd so very strange, indeed,
To find such gifts, iustead
Of all the toys 1 wish so much,
The story books and sled;
And while I wondered what it meant,
You came with fearful joy,
And said, nThou'lt find the New Year's suit—
God calleth thee, my boy i"
It is not all a dream, mamma,
I know it must be true;
•But have I been so bad a boy
God taketh me from you!
I don't. know what papa will do
When I am laid to rest.
And you will have no Willie's head
To fold upon your breast.
The New Year comes to-night, mamma,
Put your hand beneath my cheek,
And raise my head a little more,
It is so hard to speak.
You need not fill my stocking now,
cannot go and peep,
' , ._.,Before the morning sun is up
I'll be so sound asleep.
I shall not want the skates, mamma,
never need the sled;
But won't you give them both to Blake,
Who hurt me on my head?
He used to hide my books away,
And tear the pictures too,
But now he'll know I forgive him,
As then' tried to do.
And if you please, mama I'd like
The story . -book and slate
To go to Frank—the drunkard's boy
You would not let me hate;
And dear mamma, you won't forget,
Upon the New Year's day,
The basket full of something nice,
For poor old widow Gray ?
The New Year comes to-night, mamma,
It seems so very soon,
I think God didn't hear me ask
For just another June ;
I know I've been a thoughtless boy,
And made you too much care,
And, may be, for your sake, mamma,
He does not hear my prayer.
There's one thing more : my pretty pets,
The robin and the dove,
0 keep for you and dear papa,
And teach them how to love.
The garden hoe, the little rake—
You'll find them nicely laid
Upon the garret floor, mamma,
The place where last I played.
I thought to need them both, so oft,
When summer comes again,
To make my garden by the brook,
That trickles through the glen.
I thought to gather flowers, too,
Beside the forest walk,
And sit beneath the apple tree,
Where once we sat to talk.
It cannot be; but you will keep
The summer flowers green,
And plant a few—don't cry, mamma—
A very few, I mean,
Where I'm asleep; I'd sleep so sweet
Beneath the apple tree,
When you and robin, in the morn,
May come and sing to me.
The New Year comes; good night, mamma;
I lay me down to sleep;
I pray the Lord—tell poor papa—
My soul to keep—if I
How cold it seems—how dark—kiss me
Mamma, I cannot see.
The New Year comes—to-night—mamma—
The old—year—dies—with—me.
THE MAD ENGINEER
A Tlirilling Narrative of Life on the
Night on the Father of Waters! Night
with the sable veil lowering over the
mourning city of New Orleans !
The shrill roar of the escaping 'steam
told all who heard it, that the steamer
, •Western Belle' had cast off her shore
fasts, and was now, like au unchained bird,
poising hers:lf on the wing, ready to
start on her flight up the mighty Missis
sippi.
I was not a moment too soon, for, ere I
had reached the promenade deck, the
gangway plank was drawn in. , Good bye'
was said to those gathered on the wharf—
handkerchiefs fluttered in the breeze, wav
ing an adieu, and we were off.
It. was when the cholera was raging so
fearfully in fhe south-west, almost depopu
lating whole cities in a single day, and
carrying death and desolation into nearly
every family.
The panic was at its height in New
Orleans. Business of all kinds appeared
to be utterly Rrostrated before the restless
march of the dread destroyer. All, or
nearly all, who had friends or pecuniary
ability, w re intent on placing themselves
or familie at a safe distance from the
deadlyvis, ant.
As a natural consequence, every boat
or other conveyance which had not ceased
rnuning, was browded with the flying and
fear-stricken citizens.
The Western Belle' formed no ex
ception to the general rule, and on this
occasion, as she swung off into the stream,
an observer could have readily seen that
she was crowded to her utmost capacity.
Ere we had reached the channel, I observed
the captain hurrying past me, muttering
to himself apparently in great agitation.
Had I only known before we cast off-r•
yet something must be done, that is evident
—but what 1' Give me the charge !'
Captain Reynolds raised his eyes at the
sound of the clear and sonorous but
somewhat imperative voice that uttered
the words, and beheld a tall, dark featured
and strikingly handsome man, who had
hardly approached from the opposite direc
tion, and who, instantly seizing his hand,
exclaimed : Captain, the engineer has
left his
. post—gone npwatd—dead—the
cholera!' and his gestures were significant
as he spoke.
I am already aware of the fact,' said
the captain, with anxiety in his tone, ' but
why do you evince such an interest in the
matter and his momentary, stern gaze
rested upon the countenance of the
stranger, whose face was partly concealed
by a heavy beard and moustache of glossy
blackness.
1 am Lieutenant George Holton, of the
U. S. Army, but formerly chief engineer
of the Prairie Bird,' at your service !'
said the stranger, in a hurried manner,
mentioning a well known boat, noted in
years gone by for her great speed and
superior accommodations.
And your object is to offer your
services to me as an engineer for the up
trip V said Captain Reynolds, inquiringly.
As you have intuitively perceived, it is.'
Sir—lieutenant, I thank you--doubly
thank you—and will avail myself of your
kind offer; accepting it in the same generous
spirit with which it is made, and without
further ceremony!' said the captain, as he
warmly pressed the hand of the other.
Knowing that the firemen were all green
hands, I was hastening to charge and
manage, as best I might, the engineer's
department—but now I shall feel at ease.'
Then Lit me at once enter upon my
duties. There is no time to lose,' 'said
the Lieutenant, and there was a strange
gleam in his restless eyes, and 'a nervous
peculiarity in his gesture.
It was unnoticed by the captain—or if
he noted, evidently considered the idiosyn
crasies of an ardent temperament—as he
replied, with satisfaction expressed in his
voice : True, true ! I fear you will find
matters in a somewhat confused state, but
you can send forward for me at any
moment.'
They passed beyond my hearing, and
1 leisurely ascended to the hurricane deck
to enjoy a siesta and cigar for an hour,
after which I spught out my state room—
found, entered, closed-the door—and was
on the point of congratulating myself on
having been able to secure it, when my
attention was arrested by the earnest
intonation of a voice of peculiar beauty—
one that could never be afterward forgot
ton, though heard 'mid the wild beauty
and grandeur of an ocean's storm—the
roar and carnage of battle, or the discord
ant murmurs of an assembled universe !
Spell-bound, I listened.
Oh, sir, whatever you are, for the love
of heaven, assist me to get out of this
room—and at once ! Our safety—aye the
lives of every one on board is pending on
—I shudder to think—perhaps the issue
of a few moments V _
There was an indescribable earnestness
in the utterance of the words that thrilled
we to the soul. To think was to act, and
knowing by the sound that a thin board
partition separated me from the fair
pleader—for that she was fair I would have
staked my ekistence—l immediately drew
my heavy bowie,' and first assuring her
of a speedy delivery, commenced cutting
away at the top of one of the hoards.
In two minutes it was loose—in four I
took it out and stepped through the
opening.
What a picture was revealed !
Seated on a low stool, with her auburn
ringlets floating over her shoulders of ala
baster whiteness,
" In all the wilderness of disheveled charms,"
was a gloriously beautiful maiden of seem
ingly not over seventeen summers, and
eyes as bright as the jewels of a regal
diadem.
Her hands were tied behind,-,p,nd in her
struggles to free herself, the delicate flesh
was cruelly lacerated.
One stroke of my knife, andf the cords
were severed in an instant, and observing
the increasing pallor of her features,
quicker than it takes me to tell it, I had
caught her in my arms, and borne her
through the entrance which my good blade
had effected. To dash open the window,
and to lave her fevorish brow with water,
was but the work of a moment.
She soon revived, and to my eager ques
tioning as to the cause of her painful sit
uation replied that all her family had
fallen victims to the cholera, with the
exception of her eldest brother, who had
recovered from the disease only to exhibit
symptoms of that dark anomaly of the
human mind—insanity. That she had
used her utmost influence with her brother,
to get him to visit the north, hoping that
the change of climate and travel would
completely restore him to his former
strong mind and health. That an hour
before, he had come to her room with a
stout cord in his hand, and said in a
playful manner, that he must tie her up.
Apprehending no evil, she had not object
ed to what she supposed one of his vagaries,
hilt when he drew a revolver, and told her
that the first words she uttered would be
her last! then she became alarmed, and
begged to be released. With a strange
calmness and voice which brooked no
reply, he commanded her to silence ; and
stating that he was an emissary of Satan,
duly commissioned to drive the steamer to
hell,* locked the door and departed.
She paused, and a faint smile shone
through her tears, like the sunshine in a
midsummer rain.
A light dawned upon my mind ! The
engineer was, then, the brother of this
angelic picture of loveliness, and he—l
shuddered as I remembered to have noticed
the increasing speed of the boat and the
heavy roar of the exhausting pipe—was a
madman !
No time was to be lost. Hastily telling
her the little I knew of the lieutenant's.
movements, I escorted her to the grand
saloon, and promising to return the.
moment I found her brother, I went in.
search of the captain.
Hardly had I reached the staircase,
when my attention was arrested by a wild
yell of apparent exultation, which rose
high and shrill above all other sounds,
chilling in its demoniac intonation, and
seeming the dread harbinger of coming
doom !
I involuntarily raised my hands to my
ears, as did others, to shut out the terrific
sound.
6 In God's name, what was that
claimed an elderly gentleman by my side,
to an officer of the boat, who rushed past
us in the direction of the engine -room.
The Mad Engineer! Our lives are in
fearful peril ! Follow, if you would know
more !'
A moment after, and we were at the
scene of excitement, and beheld a sight
to chill the blood in tiv,itonteet heart.

" THAT OOUNTBY I 6 THE mon PROSPEROIIH mums LABOR OOMMARDB inzursor REWARD"
LANCASTER CITY; PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31, 1860.
`With coat.off—eyes flashing menace—
revolver in hand, commanding the range
of the entrance ; and the register' show
ing an amount of steam far beyond the
rated capacity of the boilers—the engipeer
was seated upon the safety valve to keep
it down ! and giving occasional utterance
to a wild yell, as his weapon threatened
with death the horror-stricken crowd
without.
No questions were asked—none were
needed—it was evident that the engineer
had driven the firemen from their station
soon after taking his new position—had
transferred several barrel.' of oil and rosin
to the fire under the boilers, and the sharp,
shrill roar from the escape-pipes, as well
as the quivering of the steamer from
truck to keelson, as she leaped through
the water with the impetuosity of a mad
acer, told each and all the fearful nature
of the peril which was momentarily in
creasing.
We shall be blown to eternity! Shoot
the wild beast down ! Our lives are in
the balance !' The words were ominously
echoed by the sharp click of a revolver.
Stay ! Hold ! On your life fire not!'
And the voice rang like a clarion, yet with
all the sweet music of an molian harp, as
the crowd parted right and and left, and
the maiden of my story—the sister, mag
nificent even in her pallid beauty, rushed
to the entrance. George, my brother!'
' Virginia ! You here?' The fire in the
eyes of the madman burned with less
flame than before, and hand and weapon
fell to his side. His fierceness was gone
in a moment, when her bright orbs gazed
searchingly upon him. Breathlessly we
awaited the issue. Give me the pistol !'
It was done. Now come with me !'—
But the commission from Satan Has
been fulfilled !' With her eyes calmly
reading his, she took his arm and led him
quietly away to his state-room. Captain
Reynolds immediately ordered the damp
ening of the furnace fires, and by thus
reducing steam we were soon comparative
ly safe. I have but little more to add.—
We reached St. Louis in due time, and
without any return of Lieutenant Holton's
walacy, and, as may be supposed, it need
ed but little urging for me to accompany
them to the house of their uncle—a wealthy
retired merchant of that city—who gave
us a princely welcome, worthy of his gen
erous bachelor heart. Under the careful
treatment of several of the most skillful
physicians in the city, the Lieutenant was
soon entirely recovered. And I? Need
I add that my friendship for the beautiful
Virginia had ripened into something
warmer 1 Into love !—Empire City.
THE SCOLD.—There was not long since
two youths, male and female, who were so
affectionately attached that it appeared to
them they. could not live happy without
each other, and consequently they soon
became man and wife. But, as is always
the case with both men and women,
during courtship, they concealed many
little traits and qualities which after mar
riage soon discover themselves and the
defects of the parties are both naturally
known. The husband soon learns that
his wife, with all her beauty, possessed also
an evil and scorching tongue, which the
slightest cause set in motion. She loved
her husband with all her soul, and of this
he was sensible ; but he was of a choleric
disposition and sometimes replied to his
wife's upbraidings in a manner which he
was afterwards sorry for.
To free himself from home, and while
wandering thither in company with friends,
he became addicted to the bottle. On
his return at evening, after having decided
on the quality of various wines, with
swollen eyes and stammering tongue, one
may well imagine the reception she gave
him. As soon as she heard the key turn
in the door, she would station herself at
the top of the stairs and overwhelm him
with reproaches. He, half stunned with
the clamor, and stupified with the wine in
his head, after some efforts at retorting in
her own style, would sneak off to bed.
Finally the evil increased to such an extent
that they saw ,each other little, for the
drunken husband slept by himself, and
sometimes did not come home all night,
but slept in the tavern.
The wife in despair, went to a ' gifted
lady' and asked advice of her. From
this dealer in forbidden knowledge 'she
obtained a phial of very limpid water
which she said had been brought from
beyond the seas by a pilgrim of the great
est virtue and loliness, with the instruc
tion that when her husband came home,
she must immediately fill her mouth with
it, taking great care neither to swallow
nor spit it out, but keep her mouth - closed.
The lady thanked her cordially, and then
hastened home to await the arrival of her
husband and make a trial of the virtues
of the water.
At length the husband, with fear and
dread, enters the house, and is astonished
to find his wife, whose month is full of the
charmed water, perfectly quiet. He ad
dresses a few words to her, but she says
nothing. The husband becomes pleasant;
she says to herself, behold the effects of
the charmed water, and is delighted. - Her
husband asked her what had happened,
and she acts courteous and looks pleasant,
but makes no reply. Peace is soon made
between them. The water lasted many
days, during which time they lived as
harmonious as doves. The husband went
not abroad, but found happiness at home.
But at last the water of the phial was
exhausted, and soon again they were in
the field of domestic strife. The wife
- again repaired to the gifted lady.' But
this one-said—
Alas ! the vase in which I kept the
water is broken.'
What is to be done I" asked-the other.
' fold your mouth,' - replied the sybil,
exactly as if you had the water in it, and
your success will be the same.'
Every person similarly situated is ad
vised to make the experiment. Every
sort of water is believed to be equally
good, and even without water, it is thought
the same end may be obtained. -

describes the fainting of a young lady :
"Down fell the lovely maiden,
Just like a slanghtered lamb ;
Her hair hung round her pallid cheeks -
Like Bea weeds round a clam."

PADDY'S IDEA OF PERDITION.—Pat
McCarty was "a broth of a boy," and al
together as " dacent " n man and as handy
with a spade as any of the whole five hun
dred who were at work upon the railroad,
then and now in process of building in the
northern part of Ohio. He was- a great
favorite with the overseer, on account of
his faithfulness and integrity of character
—but he had one fault that sorely- grieved
his employer. Though as sober as a sex
ton for six days in the week, Pat could
never resist the temptation of " pay,day,"
and when Saturday came around never
failed to get as "drunk as a lc rd."—
Raving tried every other reformatory ex-
Odient in •vain, the overseer at length
bethought of the priest, who prevailed on
Pat to take " the pledge," and sent him
on his way rejoicing. But alas! the
next pay-day was " too many " for . pobr
Pat, who, staggering through the village
at noon, met no less a personage than the
priest who had attempted to reform him.
" You're lost, Pat—entirely lost," said
his reverence, with a sigh of genuine sor
row. Pat was bewildered for a moment,
but having stared about him until he had
fairly ascertained his
_local whereabouts,
he exclaimed, triumphantly—" Lost !
is it lost I am ?—lost, in broad day-light,.
half way between Jimmy Stacy's and the
coort house I—away wid yer nonsense !"
SHUN AFFECTATION.—There is nothing
more beautiful in the young than simplicity
of character. It is honest, frank and
attractive. How different is affectation !
The simple minded are always natural.
They are at the same time original. The
affected are never natural. And as for
originality, if they ever had it, they have
crushed it out, and hurried it from sight
utterly. Be yourself then, young friend !
To attempt to be anybody else is worse
than folly. It is an impossibility to attain
it. It is contemptible to try. But sup
pose you could succeed in imitating the
greatest man that ever figured in history,
would that make you any the greater ?
By no means. You would always suffer
in comparison with the imitated one, and
be-thought of only as a shadow of a sub
stance-4he echo of a real sound—the
counterfeit of a pure coin ! Dr. Johnson
aptly considered the heartless imitator (for
such is he who affects the character of
another) to the Empress of Russia, when
she had done the freakish thing of erect - g
a palace of ice. It was Splendid ad
conspicuous while it lasted; but the sun
soon melted it, and caused its attractions
to dissolve into common water, while the
humblest stone cottage stood —firm and
unharmed. Let the fabric, though ever
so humble, be at least real. Avoid affect
ing the character of another, however
great. Build your own. Be what GOD
intended you to be—yourself, and not
somebody else. Shun affectation.
LAWYER AND WITNESS.—A story is
told of a very eminent lawyer in this city
receiving a severe reprimand from a witness
on the stand whom he was trying to brow
beat. It was an important issue, and in
order to save his cause from defeat, it wss
necessary that Mr. A— should impeach
the witness. He endeavored to do it on
the ground of age. The following dia
logue ensued :
Lawyer—How old are you?
Witness—Seventy-two years.
Lawyer—Your memory, of course, is
not so brilliant and vivid as it was twenty
years ago, is it 1
Witness—l do not know but it is
Lawyer—State some circumstance which
occurred, say twelve years ago, and we
shall be able to see how well you, can
remember?
Witness—l appeal to your honor if I
am to be interrogated in this manner ; it
is insolent.
Judge—You had better answer the
question.
Lawyer—Yes, sir ; state it.
Witness—Well, sir, if you compel me
to do it, I will. About twelve years ago
you studied in Judge B—s office, did
you not
Lawyer—Yes.
Witnes—Well, sir, I remember your
father coming into my office and saying to
me, Mr. my son is to be examin
ed to-morrow, and I wish you would lend
me fifteen dollars to buy him a suit of
clothes.' I remember also, sir, that from
that day to this he has never paid me that
sum. That, sir, I remember as though it
was but yesterday.
Lawyer (considerably abashed)—That
will do, sir.
Witnesss—l presume it will.
Howllo You LIKE IT being an
nounced that the Parisian ladies have
adopted the style of dress of the Court of
the first Napoleon, the editor of the Bos
ton Post has hunted up a description of it,
which is as follows : How do you like it,
ladies 1
The dress was a loose muslin robe,
drawn 'up and fastened at the right knee,
so as to show the whole of the leg. The
robe passed under the left breast, which
was left entirely naked, and was fastened
above the left hip. Both arms were naked
from the shoulder ; their length was
relieved only by two bracelets. The
effect of this dress 1 shall not attempt to
describe, but the gentlemen all .allowed
that it was fascinating in the extreme.—
The. ladies have dispensed entirely with.
the chemise, as the folds of it, they say,
prevent their elegant forms from being
seen ; and the taffeta robes • they wear are
suited
. to display every grace in the most
striking manner.
U A well primed lover of the bottle
who had lost his way, reeled into a teetotal
grocery and hiccupped. " Mr. —, do
you—a—anything—good to take—here 1"
" Yes," replied the temperance shop
keeper, " we have excellent cold water—
the best thing you could have."
" Well, I know it," was the reply ;
" there is no-,-one thing—that's done so
much for navigation—as that."
A SAYE RULE.—When a young man
confidently tells you that such a young
lady." has no heart," you may bo sure
that he has been trying it on, and has
failed to make a favorable impression.—
Punch.

A HARD SIIRMT.,—An old soaker who
lived in Weston, Missouri, took it into his
head one_day, and very sensibly. too, that
it was about time for him to be consider
ing his probable future condition, and
forthwith repaired to the Rev. B
the respected pastor of the Baptist denomi
natiola of the town aforedaicl, to obtain
light. He was received with urbanity,
and forthwith the following dialogue en
sued :
Old S- Its your doctrine, hoes,
that a feller, to be saved, must :suffer im
mershun, isn't it V
Mr. B Yes, Mr. S., it is a
fundamental doctrine of our church, that
a man to be regenersted, must repent of
his sins and be immersed.'
Old S Well, boss, after repen
tin' ov his sins and being slid under, if he
flashes in the pan, then what
Mr. B Although backsliding
is much to be deplored, still if he sincerely
repents of his sins and is again immersed,
the church will receive him again.
Old S Well, suppose he again
kicks out of the traces after 'the second
time, (for you know what critters there
are in this world, boss,) then what's to
pay
Mr. B Notwithstanding all this,
if he will seriously repent, and solemnly
promise to amend his future life, the
church will again receive him into its
bosom,
after being immersed.'
Old S. (after a few moments, of deep
thought, proposes the following interro
gatory,)—' Well, boss, wouldn't it be a
blasted good idea to keep such fellers in
soak all the time
Our informant did not say whether old
S joined the church or not, but we
incline to the opinion that if he did, the
chances were pretty good for his being
kept in soak all the time.
THE NAKF I D TRIITH.—One of the repor
torial fraternity is responsible for the fol
lowing fling at the "fashionable" ladies of
our day :
yWhen 'lovely woman veils her bosom
With muslin fashionably thin,
What man 7ith eyes could e'er refuse 'em,
Cautiously from peering i n ?
And when, his ardent gaze returning,
The muslin heaves to deep -drawn sighs,
Would not his finger ends b e b arb i ng
To press—his hat down over his eyes!"
A young fop about starting down
to New Orleans, proposed to purchase a
life-preserver. " Oh, you'll not want it,"
suggested the clerk, ,6 bags of wind don't
sink."

•• The wide and still spreading popularity of "Hosts
THEATRICALS," or Private Histrionics, amongst the most
fashionable and refined circles, together with the repeated
calls for a form of Dramas or Plays, differing in their struc
ture and effects from those of other works In circulation,
have induced the Publisher to present this work, in which
will be found, along with some original pieces, a large
number of the plays, comedies and farces of the most
popular Dramati,ta, from the days of Shakspeare to those
of the present period ; all or most of which are compressed
into one act, and into parlor scenes, or such as can easily
be arranged by the ordinary household resources.
It has been the particular study and aim of the compiler
and publisher, to wait all sentences, words or allusions;
such as could be in the remotest way objectionable to the
most fastidious, and to retain the plot, the passion and the
mond of each play, in such a condensed form as would
render them an available, diverting' and elevating vehicle
of amusement for the Parlor, the School-room, or the Ly
ceum.
From the Sunday Atlas.
BOOK OF PLOYS, for Home Amusement. By Silas S. Steele
Dramatist.
Those popular parlor amusements have been the means
of introducing some very pretty little dramas to those who,
from a religious notion, eschew a theatre, and legitimate
dramatic representations.
There are few writers in our country better calculated
to write, compile, and adapt plays for Parlor Amusements,
than Silas S. Steele. Author himself, of over eighty plays,
every one of which bears the impress of a master hand ; and
containing a moral, which few authors deem requisite for
a drama.
. • .
Perhaps a more perfect work of the kind is not Lobe found
at the present time in the world, and it certainly reflects
the highest crcdit on the author and publisher in the
production of the one in question. The insipid trash, and
nonsensical charades, and drawing•room dramas, which we
have seen and heard, must now yield tolomething more
elegant, refined, kiterealing and amusing. Silas S. Steele's
"Book of Plays for Home Amusement," will forni a new
era in this description of domestic dramatic literature, and
create a taste to witness those productions from which he
has culled out only a scene or two. : Address all orders to

The purpose of the work is to record the actions of some
of the most celebrated of the many heroes and .patriots who
distinguished themselves by endued services in the Revo

Among these, General Marion, whose lie occupies a con
siderable portion of the volume, was one of the mold re
markable characters who figored on the grand theatre of
war in those times "that tried men's souls." Marion's
achievements were of the most heroic and romantic char
acter, and are always read with interest and admiration.
General Moultrie. the illustrious defender oe the fortress
which Sears his name, is not lass Intereqing in his way.
General Pickens, was the companion of Marion in some
of his daring enterprises, and pne of the most useful of all
the general officers who asslstedhi recovering the Southern
States from the enemy.
Governor Rutledge rendered services to the canoe, of the
most important nature, and displayed a character and
ability equal to every emergency of those critical and per
ilous times.
Of several other Military Commanders and Statesmen,
we have given but slight sketches, in consequence of the
brief space to which we were limited.
