she was dismissed. Marion proceeded with
all diligence to recovery of the property. • But

as decision. The offers s were men of some
infinerce. and (had a am al faction in the Brig.
<l r
ade,' which h ' already proved troublesome,',
and might be don s. One of them was a
major, the other a captain. Their names are
both before us - in the MS. memoir if Horry, I
whose copious detail on this subject leaves':
nothing to 'be supplied. We forbear giving'
them, as personal publication would answer no
good purpose. They were in command of 'a
body of men, about sixty in number, known as ,
the Georgia Refugees. Upon the minds of
these men the offenders had already sought to '
act, in reference to the 'expected collision with
their General. Marion made his preparation
with his ordinary quietness, and then despatch.'
ed Harry to the person who was in the pos.
session of the sword of Croft ; 'for which
he made a fOrmal demand. He refused to
give it up. alledging, that it was his, and ta.'
en in war. .• If the General wants it,"'
he added, •• let him for it hiniself."-When
this reply was communicated to Marion, he
instructed [lorry to renew the command; His
purpose seems to have been, discovering the
temper of the offender, to gain the necessary
time. His officers. meanwhile, were gather
ing around him. He was making his prepare.
Bons for a struggle, which might, indeed,' in.
valve not only the safety al his brigade. but'
his own future uselessness'. Hurry, however.
with, proper spirit, entreated not to 'be sent
again to the offender, giving as a reason for
his reluctance, that in consequence of the pre
vious rudeness of the 'other, he was not in a
mood to tolerate a repetition of the indignity,
and might if irritated, be provoked to viotenee.
Marion then despatched his orderly to the
guilty major, with a request, eivlily worded,'
that he might see him at head quarters. He
appeared 'accordingly, accompanied by the
captain who 'had joined With h im in the nor.'
rage, and under whoie idflutmee he appeared
to act. . Marlee renewed his cominand in per
son for the s word of Croft.' The other again
refused to deliver it, alledging that •• Croft was
a Tory, and even' then with the 'enemy in
- Georgetown." • '
.. Will you deliver me the sword or not,
Maier, —!" •was the answer which Marion
made to this suggestion.
.. 1 will not!" was the reply of the offender.
.. At these words," says Hurry in the Mahe.
fore us, "I could forbear no longer, and said
with great warmth, ~ By G--(11 'sir, did 1
command this brigade as you do, I would hang
' them both up in lialfan hour !" Itlarion stern
ly replied-"'Phis' is none of your business,
sir; they are both before 'ine.!--.Sergeant

1 adds Horry;-. all our field officers in camp
were present, and when the second refusal of
the swords in readiness to draw. My own
s word' Was already drawn!" '
In the regular service, and with officers ec
costomed to, and bred up in the severe and
stern sense of authority, which is usually
thought necessarry to a proper discipline, the
refractory offender would' most' probably have
been hewn down in the moment of his obedi
ence. The effect of such a proceeding in the
present instance might have been of the most
flial•character. • The' esprit du corps 'might
have piompted the immediate followers of the
offender to have-seized•tipon the weapons, and
though annihilated, as Horry tells us they
would have been,-yet' several valuable lives
Might have been lost'Which the country could
ill' have spared. ' The amity would have

The Miser', Beath.
8 V' a. W. CIITTZIG
An old man sat by a sreless hearth.
Tho' the night was dark and chill,
And mournfully over the frozen earth,
The wind sobbed loud and ahrilL
His locks were grey, and hit eyes were grey,
And dim but not with tears,
And his skeleton form was wasted away
With penury more than years.
A rush-light was casting its fitful glare
O'er the damp and dingy walls,
Where the listl had made his slimy lair
And the venomous spider crawls.
Bat the meanest thing in this loathsome room,
Was that miser all worn and bare;
Where he set like a ghost in an empty tomb,
On his broken and only cbair,
He had bolted the windomand bared the door
And every nook he had seann'd,
And felt their fastenings o'er end o'et
With his add sod skinny hand;
And yet he, sat gating intently around
And trembled with ',lent fear,
And started and shuddered at every sound
That fell on hilvovrard ear
Ha! ha ! laughed the miser—Fm safe at lut
From this night so cold and drear ;
From the drenching rein and the driving blast
With my gold and erith my treasure here.
am cold and wet wide The icy rain,
And my health is bad, Nis true
Yet if I should light fire again
It wonid eon met cent or two.
But take a sirof this preelouv twine
• It will banish my cola and fears: .
It Was given long since by a friend of mitre
I haselept it for mazy years. , •
So he drew a flask from a mouldy nook, ~
And drank of its \ ruby tile, .
•
And his - eye grew dim with each draught he took,
And his bosom swell'd with pride.
" Let me see—let me see" raid the miser then
"'lris some sixty years or more,
tines ass happy hour when I began .
I'o `heap up my glittering store ;
Ana wellittase i sped in my anxious toil,
Ai my crowded chests well show,
lima more than would ransom a kingdom's spoil
Or an emperor could bestow.
" From the Orient realms I have rubies bright ,
An:4°ld from the fam'd rem ; ,
rye diamonds would shame the Sian of night,
And pearls like the morning dew :
And more have, ere the morrow's stn
His rays from the west shall fling ;
That widow, to free her priioned son,
Shall bring me her bridal ring."
He tum'd to.an old worm-eaten chest.
And cautiously raised the lid,
And then it shone like the cloths of the west
With Site sun in their splendor dip ;
And gem after gem of its precious atom
He raised with exulting smile,
And counted, and counted them o'er and o'er,
In many a glittering pile.
*by comes that flash to his pallid brow,
While his eyes like his diamonds shine
Why writhes he thus in audted= COW

style: was in the habit, every Monday morning.:

never mentioned his business to his wife. and

About five years after their .marriage. through
some s li g ht m ism a nagement, and .the raseality,
of his
,confidential clerk. Mr.—,—•anddenly
broke up, and his fall was mentioned sympa
thizingly, onGhange, and—like rill such, mat-,
ters—there all sympathy ended. The merchant.
kept the affair n secrin. and.the first intimation
his lady had of it was by a paragraph in
'Ledger.' Shortly after dinner was over.cn the .
day'of 'the discovery of the startling, fact, Mts.
requested her .inisband to •remain in they
parlor a few raiment% as she had some thing to
say to him. She then left the room. iturtiectop

splendidly bound Bible in her hand. Handing
it to her husband, she said : George. the (lay
after our marrirage you gave me this precious
book, as a token of your love, and as a rich foun
tain to look to in the day of trouble. Its pages
hare been precious to me ; and. as your brow
looks anti to day. I now return it to you that you
may glean from it some consolation in the hour
of gloom.' She then left the room.
The merchant opened the hook carelesidy,
and a hank hill fell out. He picked it up and
glanced at its face—it was a $lO bill. Ile open

amount was before him. fie opened it et , the,

the
reply. Every week I put oue out of the tWen

manner in which young men pass this season,
as it regards their course and conduct in years to'

an observer of Men and things for the last' users
