The 'young officer opened his eyes and gazed
around bins. His age was not more than twenty—
fair-haired and fair.skinned, but pole, ,very pale—.
for the signs aides% were too strongly marked on
his white . and even brow to be mistaken. His eyes
were of dew blue, as they 'fixed their glance upon

The surgeon now came rapidly op the avenue,
and was soon at the side of the Youth. He felt hii
pulse, opened his vest and two gun shots were seen,
around which the blood was fast congealing;
" Poor Dick; he has seen his last fight," said the
surgeon. " Either of these wounds madam, is mor•

The good Quaker lady look one band of the youth
in her own and passed her other over his clammy
bro*, where the cold drops of approaching death
were eAtherlng. He opened his eyes for the
lit time, smiled upon the woman whose gaze was
now hied upon him, murmured faintly, " Dear
mother !" clasped her band convulsively, and the
next instant ceased to exist I
The lady said not a word. She rose from her
recumbent posture, threw 'a snow-white linen sheet
over the body, and, with a stifled sob, looked again
down the avenue. In different portions of the open
orchard appeared soldiers bearing the dying forms
of their comrades, which they laid caretulty down,
and then rushed rapidly towards:their r eg iments,
passing down the main avenue: In the space of a
moment, more than a dozen soldiers were plated
in this way directly amend the mansion.
Summoning her servants, we and all, the good
lady wenunto the orchard to aid the poor dying
soldiers as far as lay in her power. Her attention
had not thus lung been given, before an officer, in
the blue and buff uniform of Washington's stall,
came riding at hill speed up the road, and taming
without slackening his speed, toward the mansion.
He reined in his steed 'as be reached the lady, ob

Not more than fire Minutes had elapsed fronxthe
time the officer departed, when the sound of mar

proclaimed the morements of ansaucirq troops,
Mrs. Murray went down to the mail, and with - two

Refreshments of cake, wine, and cold *mita

says that Sir Henry Clinton, who was a great bon
rirant, remarked to hii'superior officer in an under
lone e. that if the cellars or the mansion contained
any large - quantity ol 'such madeira, he should like
to be billeted there for the campaign."
Tn the meantime Mrs. Murray had directed Cato,
the black servant, privately to go to the top of the,
mansion, and 'the instant he saw a large body of
troops pass a certain point on the Bloomingdale
road, to give her the inhumation by signal. 1 may
as well remark, that from the hill the road cmltl
not be perceived but horn the cupola of the dwell
ing it was very easily seen.
Nearer an hour than the ten minutes Sir William
Howe gave orders kir thti hail of hie troops had
passed away, yet still before the mansion he
ed with his officers. Mrs. Murray had - entertained
them not only with refreshments, but her conversa
tion. The younger portion of the officers had en
tered :the orchards and amused themselves with
picking peaches and other fruit, with which the
trees were bending, ripened under the sun of an
early autumn and thus time had slipped away una
wares.
At length Cato made the requisite signal and
Mrs. Murray turning to the British commander,
said—
"Wilt thee and thy officers step with me to the
portico of the mansion ? I .have a sight for thee
alfh
This was uttered in soquiet and grave a tone,
that merriment at their triumph over the " rebels"
instantly ceased, the glasses were put down and Sir
William Howe and his Generals followed the Qua
kereas as requested. reeding them to the end of
the portico, she stooped\ down, and !citing the sheet
uncovered the body of the poor continental testa !
Handsome even in death were the features of the
youth. His fair curling hair blew lightly over his
marble cheek, in the soft breeze. The buff lining
of his nnilorm was deeply streaked with his life
blood which bad gathered in a clotted pool ppm
the mattless! The sight was indeed'une to awaken
emotions in the sternest breast.
"Who among ye will answer !o God and this
, boy's mother for the bloody deed!' said Sirs. Mur
ray, raLytog her eyg calmly to the group of officers.
"To horse, gentlemen ! Madam, each are the
fortunes of war. 1 hanks for your touchy !--Fare
!" This was the only response ot Sir William
Howe: What more could he say ! hi a few mo
ments the blast of the trumpets and the sound of
the drums and fifes told that the troops were on the
march to triumph and victory—far a scasea. Thank
God, it was only for a short season_
The main facts of this sketchisre true. Mrs. Mar
ray, the patriotic Quakeress, by detainn= Sir Wil
tram Rowe, saved a lame body ofAmerk=
—near upos three thoaand—under the command
of Putnam, who would have been penned up in the
city with his men it the British army had crossed
the island sooner. 31"cht not the Ices of three
thousand troops to Washington at that time have
been sufficient to change our whole destinies, as re

Mount Eioria6 Elands just without Jemmlem,
is now crowned with the mosque of Si Omar whose
entrance has low been forbidden to the Christian.
and kept safe to the followers of Mehemet. It
stands where the rude attar of Abraham roan nearly
(Our thousand years ago,,. The proud city has risen
and fallen beside it, the generations of wan have
come and gone, and the whole dynasties of kings,
disappeared one aftet another, yetthere it stands as
it stood in the wilderness, when trodden only by
wild beasts of the forest.
The sacrifice of Atavisms; which consecrated
Mount Bloriah, is to me one of the most touching
events in human history. I can never read over
the unostentatious, brief account given in the Bible
without the profoundest emotions.t Knowing that
parental and human nature aretberame in villages,
my imagination immediately fills up the sketch
in all its thrilling details - The shock of the an
nouncement by God, the farewell with Sarah, the
'fires days lonely journey—the unconscious playful
ness of Isaac on the way, and stem stsle of the
father's heart to master its emotion, all rise before
tee and I seem to bold my breath in suspense till
the voice of the angel breaks the spell, and the up-
lifted knife is stayed.
Abraham had long wished and prayed for a saa
who should inherit his property—bear up his name
and transmit it to posterity, until it hail become the
absorbing thought of his life. Isaac was the child
of his old age—his only son—the single link on
which every thin rested, and on him were garner
ed all the love ad hopes of his noble heart. Brit
if he was an object of such intense allection and
priceless worth to Abraham, what must he hare
been to Sarah 1 Oh, who can tell with what ab
sorbing love, what inexpressible fondness, the moth•
er bowed over the cradle and , watched his growing
strength. Isaac!—that name was to her the em
bodiment of everything beautiful and lovely, and
his clear laugh never tang out on the morning air
without sending a thrill through her bosom almost
painful from intense delkilit. His voice without
the tent would arrest her in the midst of any om-o
-vation. and there was no world where her boy was
not. Bat this beautiful scion was to be cut off—this
bright Tooth to be slain, and the father's hand was
to do the deed. So came the command horn beat
en. and the bolt that then and therecrushed through
Abraham's heart none that God saw eater. " Take
now thy only son Isaac whom thou lovest and gm
unto the land of liforiah, and offer him there for a
burnt offering on one of , the mountains I shall tell
thee of" The 142usin,g had fallen, and the aged
tree was struck, though not shattered. The Patri
arch's hair
,had come upon him, and be turned to
his tent tfrit night with a cloud on his soul the
light of faith could hardly pieree_ The voice °this
son which had heretofore made his heart teals for
joy, now sent a patig throtgh it as if it Were the
last ay of suffering rather than the call of ailecnon.
No sleep visited his eyes that night, yet he kept the
fearftil tidings to himself, and summoned all his
energies to meet the terrible trial that awaited him-
What ! tell the mother that her boy was to be slain,
and the father to do the deed—the lamb of her
bosom, and the boy of her heart WAS to be gashed
and marred by the knife, and his.body learned on a
desolate mountain he was to come bark no
more,—his voice was to cheer her hemlines, no
more, bnt his ashes to be scattered over the bleak
'bill-side by the winds of heaven! Oh no! the
burden was heavy manta atready, walked taking
rya, himself the mother's grief. Beside, that boy
amid never leave the tent in the morning =eon
scions of his approaching fate, if the mother's hue
well was to be a last one. The fatal leave-taking
would be a doable sacrifice before the time.
The morningbroke &arena beautiful--the awes
Neer e saddled, all were ready lot departum ; yet
still Isaac lingered in the tent, covered with the
food carman oLbis mother. To part with him a
week seemed like loving him an age-. But at
length she led him forth to the door of the tent, and
imprinting a lasting kiss en hisleight young foie
head, bode him go. Ai Abraham saw him apt
i preach with half a anditand hail a twee his Lace ;
he thought of his own return without him, and her
mate despair and al:gibed %mg that would meet
him as he stood speechless and helpless and deso
late before his wife. Who could answer her in_
genies!
Who could still her cries for [sae het rely son ?
..4.11 these tho%lits rushed through the patriarcb's
bean, heroin him to the earth, yet his fum roil

to meet the strt=te before him without fdterin or
