TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 6. 1876.
Tell me, why does that young - girl
stand trembling before the tall
stranger, veiling her eyes from that
calm face, : with its blue eyes and
kindly smile ? we may be
lieve the legends' of that time, few
men, few warriors, who dared the
terror of battle with a smile, could
stand unabashed before the solemn
presence of Washington.
For it was Washington, exhaust
ed with a long journey—his limbs
stiffened and his faee numbed with
cold—it was the- great 'Rebel' .of
Valley Fcirge, who returning to camp
sooner than his usual hour, was forc
ed by the storm, to take refuge in the
farmer's house, and claim a little
food and an hour's repose at his
hands. .
In a few moments, behold the sol
dier, with his cloak thrown off, sit
ting at . that oaken table, partaking
of the' food, spread out, there by the
hands ,of the girl who now ,stands
trembling at his shoulder.
And look! Her hand is extended
as if to grasp him by the arm,--her
lips moves as if to warn him or dan
ger, but make no sound. Why all
this silent agony for the man who
sits so calmly there ?
One moment ago, as the girl hi
preparing the hasty supper, opened
yonder closet door, 'adjoining the
next room, she heard the low whis
pers of her (zither and they Tories
she heard the dice box rattle, as they
were casting lots wlio should stab
George Washington in his sleep !
n d now, the words: 'Beware,.
or this night you die !' tremble halt { ,-"
formed upon her lipS, when the fatti.
er comes hastily from that room and
hushes her with a look.
'• Show the gentleman to his cham
ber, Mary—that ebamoer at the head
of the stairs, on the , left. ' On the
left, you mind !"
Mary takes the light, trembling
and pale. She leads the soldier up
the oaken stairs. They stand on the
landing, in this wing of the farm
how, composed of two rooms, di
vided by tinek•walls ftom the main
body of the mansion. On one side,
the right, is the door to Mary's:cham
her; on the other, the left, the
chamber of the soldier—to him a,
chamber of death.
I'ur a moment, Mary stands there
trembling and (ont'useil. Washing
ton ,gazes upon that pale girl with a
look of surprise. Look ! •the is
about ro warn him of his danger,
when, see there ! her fatt►er's r..ngit
fare appears above the heal of tile
stairs.
—Mary,-show the gentlenian into
the chamber on the left. And look
yt.. gill—it's late—you'd better go
int,, ‘:,all' own room and go Lo sleep."
NV i:!ie tile Tory watches them

I is comrades gathered aroun i d him
with %)f joy, already, in Piney,
they count the gold which . wi I be
paid for this deed, when lo ! that
stair door opens, and there, wi.hout
a wotmd, without the stain of eVen a
drop of blood, stands lieorge Wash
ington,asking calmly for his horse.
What ! shriekt.4l the Tory ,Man
heint, can neither steel nor bullet
harm you? Are a living Man ?
Is there no wountt about your )teart
blOod upon your uniform ?"
That apparation drives • him
Ile starts forward—he places his
hands treinblingly upon the arms of
Washington. Still no wound. ,Then
he looks at the bloody. knife
clutched in his right hand, and Aands
there quivering as with l a death
,pasm.
While,Washitr.ton looks on in si
lentovonder, the thior is /lung ppen,
the bold troops frOm Valley Iforge
throng the room ; with the ppllitut
form and bronzed of Captain
Williams: in thein midst. At! this,
moment the cloek struck twelve.
Then a horrid thought like a thdnder
bolt rushes to the head of the 'Tory
Xutheim: lie scuba the light--rhshes
uli stairs—rushes'into the room of .
hiS daughter on the right. home
one had just risen! from the bed, but'
the chamber was Vacant. Then tow
ard that room on Hie left, with steps
of leaden heavinetis. Look ! In* the
light quivers in his N
hand!, He pauses
at the door, he listens ! Not a ;Sound
—a stillness like the grave. His blood
curdles -in his veins ! (lathering
cowrie, he puslu the door Open.
Ile enters. Towards that, Led th4ote*h
whose curtains lie struck so blindly
:t moment ago! Again he pauses—
not a sound—a stillness inure Iterd
ble than the grave. lie flings aside
the curtains; There, in the full! light
of the lamp, her young form but half
covert; , .(l, bathed in her own blood--
there lay his daughter, Mary. !
Ali, do not loot upon the faCe . of
the tjither as he starts silently back,
frozen to stone; hut in this 'pause of
horror listen to th l f.., mystery of this
deed !
After her father had gone down_
stairs, an hour a,,,(70, Mary stole from,
,the chamber on tlte - right. Her soul
shaken by a thouSnd fears, she open
ed the door on tho left, and beheld
Washington sitting by a table on

which were spread a chart and a
Bible. Then, thdugh her existence
was wound kip.in the act, she asked
a toile of calm politeness, to
take the , chainber ;on the opposite
Side. Mary entered the, chamber
which he left.
Can you imagine the agony of that
girl's soul, as lying upon the bed in
tended for, the death couch of Wash
ington, she silently awaited the knife,
although the knife might be clenched
in a father's hand.
!And now th;:t father frozen to

called to her, but that word. was all
lieeould say.
Suddenly, she seemed to awake
from this stupor. She sat up in the
bed :with her glassy eyes. The strong
hand of kath was upon her. As"ahe
sat there, erect and ghastly, the room
was thronged with soldiers. Her
loer rushed forward, and called her
by name. No answer. Called again
—spoke to her in the familiar tones
of Olden times—still no answer. She
knew himnot.
yes, it was true—the strong hand
of:death was upon her,
f' Has he escaped ?"' she said, in
that husky voice.
" Yes !". shrieked the father. "Live,
Mary, only live, and to-morrow 1
will join the camp at Valley Forge."
Then that girl—that hero woman
—dying . as she was, not so much
from the wound in her arm, as from
deep agony width has broken - the
last cord of life, spread forth her
•
arms, as though she beheld a form
floUting there above her bed, beck-On

arms as if to enclose that angel form.

there grouped the soldiers—there
with speechless agony on his brow
stood the lover—there, hiding his
thee with one hand, while the other
grasps the light, crouches the father—
that light flashing over the dark bed,
with the white form in the center—

Look, even as starting up on that
blciody couch, she speaks. the half

THE STORY OP A RAIN DROP
.1 told the readers of the REroaTE:a
a few weeks since of a pleasant ac
flu
aintanee which I f M
ornmd One orn
in,i with the rain drop that were
drii)ping from the niaci's!' at my
c,i s t window. It nii!rlit have been my
faln.y, but they seemod - to tell me an.
inti•rosting tale of their travels thtlY
airvinl river and lake, and I th:,ll, , ht,
m‘ sell' wiser for the ntets they tau hit
me. But they enseil talking as they
d rOppe. i one I,y one rrom t heir' pearch I
on ,the bush, nifil I hardly thought of
meeting them a:rain. Other business
had --erased their memory • from my
mind...when recently, upon a snowy
morning, 1 met my friends again at
tinl4l in a new and showy dress. As
I Nyas returning from a call at a
neighbor's house, I was greeted by a
shower of snow crystals flat - et ing in
the air and (lancing before the wind.
'1 Can there be anything more beau-
WO ?" I said to myself. I looked
upfin the earth and the fields which
had lain dark , and bare since the thaw
of the week before; : now being, eO
- by a robe whiterand more beau
tiful than the muslin'curtains which .
the tasty housekeeper' hangs at her
chamber window. I looked upon the
shrubs and trees with every limb
pendant under its load of frost crys
tals, and I thought I had never seen
anything so beautiful since the or
chard blossoms of last May. Like
th(i weeping willow, there was a sad
dezi,s suggested by the drooping
branches, but how lovely and fasci
nat:ingin their sadness. I looked.up
to 'he clouds above, and saw count
ies. 1 fluttering flakes slowly falling,
yet 'buoyed on the air, turning sum
iners4s, dancing in circles, and with
mapy courtesies flitting their way to
their perch on the tree or fence. As
I lyoked up, the saucy travelers of
the air lit on my cheeks and eye :
brlws, tickled my nerves for an in
stai tiand then, feeling a moisture on
my face, I raised my hand to wipe it
off! when fifty flakes made a leap
from their airy throne and perched
upon my coat-sleeve. -They seeme.(ll
to think that I would enjoy their
conipany, and so, clinging to my,
slerve, they beau!' to show me the
gay and litany-shaped patterns which
th4y wore upon that frosty morning.
Seeing that they w( re making them
seles familiar as if they were old ao
qunintances, I said:
l lt seems to. me I have met you
'beforee somewhere, tint my memory
is ioor and I cannot now recall the
pl. ce where I saw you." .
" ' Yes " . they all answered in-a cho
rus. "Do you not remember your
vi.it one morning at the east window
by the lilac bush ?"
l i gnite well," I answered ; " but
yo du not pretend to say I saw you
thre r ,
, ..
' Exactly.;. We came to you in the
