Conversation is frequently more useful than

- TIIE YOUNG REBEL.
, A Tale of the Carolinas.
BY J. IF. SANDRILS.
In a mail farm-house. towards the close of
the par 1780. sat an old man. his wife, and
an only, son. The face of the lather appeared
troubled ; at times he looked thoughtfully on
the firer. and - then he would gaze long and
wimftilly-at his son, a fine, manly youth of
twenty. At - length he said—
"David."this is disastrous news from Cam
den. God knows whit will become of the
country now !-. Congress needs every arm that
is capable : ah ! me, I wish this old wound I
got in the French war had not lamed me : but
for it, I should be now, shouldering my , musket
and marching to defend my country.' - ,
Both son and wife looked up at these words.
The old lady ceased , knitting and gazed in
quiringly at her boy,and it was evident, from
the expression of her face, that patriotism and
motherly affection were at variance in, her
bosom. The son. however, after encountering
his father's gaze for a moment. turned con
fusedly away. The old man's brow darkened,
,and he exclaimed warmly :
"David, why do you •linger, about the' vil

_Why, my son, I am ashamed arm.
Twice before this I have spoken to you'upon
this subject, but you appear to have no spirit'!
What! will you see us trampled upon by the
brutal mercenaries of Britain, and still lie here
supinely ? For simile, David. for shame ! I
will not: call you .my son. , Long since you
ought to have been in the
"Joshua, Jesitua," interposed the old mother.
"David is but a youth :• then do not speak so
'harshly to him. He cannot yet feel what you
feel, who have fought so often against your
country's enemies,—Joshua: he is but, a boy."
"A boy, indeed, Deborah ! such bvs as
David have already gained imperishable laurels
since . the war commenced, I could name a host
of them !—why, were it not for the boys of this
land, where would be our army. which. I dare
say, is one quarter composed of boys of David's
age ?"
The old man was excited, and it
,was the first
unkind word lie had ever used to his boy.
David rose and left the house. He walked
some distance, apparently in deep thought.
"What will not woman do ?" he at last mut
tered. "Here I have been lingering about the
village when I should have been off 'long ago.
And for what ? why. to meet a pretty girl, and
to listen to her musical voice : but now I will
be myself again ! What did he call me? was
it_not _a_coward? Now,,"by

spirit of his father. Away, then, with love,
for I feel that - I am called upon to act,. no long-
er It-earn. re anot ter or mg my aer
shall hear of me or else I lose my life in striv
ing for it." And with this resolution he turn
ed about and retraced his steps.
When'he reached home he sought the stable,
saddled his horse, and -mounting him struck
into a gallop, which continued . for several
miles.' At length he stopped and looked up at
the windoWs of a farm house, halt hid between
clustering trees. - This was the residence of
Mary Bunker, the' mistress of his heart : the
light showed that the family had not retired,
and he resolved to pay her a visit before his
departure.
She was alone when he entered, and a'few
words acquainted her of his determination.
She burst into tears. a
‘-Nay, Mary," he said, "you must not un
man me. At first resolved to leave you
without a farewell, for I knew how much you
dreaded my taking an active part in this strug
gle. But I could not be so cruel as to.desert
you without a word."
"I will compose myself," said the fair girl
With an effort to smile. "I know I have done
wrong to persuade you to stay : but you can
not imagine the anxieties I suffer on account of
my brothers, and I could not bear to have you
too encounter their danger. But since this
dreadful defeat at Camden I feel that every
man is wanted by our country. Go, then,
_dearest, and may God be with you. My
prayers shall attend you night and day."
David pressed the now. weeping girl to his
bosom, snatched a hasty kiss at the sound - of
approaching footsteps, wrung her hand and was
gone.
The next day he left the neighborhood of his
father's house, armed with a' musket and
mounted on a sturdy horse. His destination
was the American camp. then far northward :
hut as the intervening country was filled with
the enemy. he know there would he consider
able address required to effect his purpose.
Before his departure he saw a few of his old
playmates, who promised to follow him as soon
as possible.
Night found him near a lonely farm-house.
to which he proceeded boldly, in pursuit of a
lodging. At first the occupant received him
coldly. but a chance expression convincing
David that his host was a tory. he affected the
same political creed, and was immediately
warmly welcomed. The royalist produced his
cider after supper and insisted that David
should join him in his potations: this the
young man did. taking care. however, not to
indulge too-freely, while the farmer. overjoyed
to find what lie supposed a new recruit for his
arty. drank without stint;, and became more
-and more communicative. To his horror,
David soon learned that a party of loyalists,
ed by Major Wilson. celebrated for his toryaan
nd ruthlessness. were to start early the ensu
•ng day- on an expedition to seize and hang the
WO Bunkers, who had made themselves par 7 _
icularly obnoxious to the royalist leaders.
)avid knew enough of this partizan warfare
o he assured that no mercy would be shown
is friends ; he also knew enough of the char
acter of the Major to suspect that some strong
lersonal motive had led to the planning of so
• istant an expedition, when there were others

now. Thank Heaven there's no law any
longer to prevent an honest loyahst from doing
as he ',leases to those rascally rebels. But
"TRUTH IS DIMWIT, AND WILL PREVAIL."
The two men sprang up, seized their rifles,
which had been left in the room, and prepared
to retaliate - the treatment which they had just
received.
Long and desperate was the battle.
— The - tories - fought - for life ; the others for re
venge. But at length the latter triumphed,
though not until their enemies had been almost
externuna e( . ie arm o
our hero, who had sought him out in the hot-
test of the fight and engaged him single handed.
No language of ours-can express the etnotioh
of David as he pressed his betrothed wife to his
bosom, and his heart went up in thankfulness
to Heaven for his timely arrival, when he
thought that a delay of half an hour would
have c i ansigned_her to a fate worse than death.
The gratitude of her brothers was expressed in
many_ words, but her's was silent and tearful,
yet how much more gratifying.
"I almost called you a coward, aon David,"
said his lather to huu whed they . wet, '-but
yonder is the Major now." suddenly said our,
host starting irp: -"I will introduce you 'to Min
at once--a merry fellow you will find him.

Major's hand warmly; pledged him immediate
ly in a bumper. and so contrived to make . the
loyalista_believe that he was anxious to join a
troop, and take part against the rebels: . This
induced the Major to be - unusually civil, for he
-wished to secure so athletic a recruit himself.
It. was not long before a bargain was conclud
ed between the two. David refused. however,
to sign the agreement that night. He pretend
ed that several others of his friends were disif=
fected and desirous ofjOining the royalists . and
his object. he said, WAS to secure a commission
for himself by inducing them to join. This
tempting bait took: the Major.promislied„him
a command in his troop, - in case of success,.
and David signified .his intention of setting
forth after he - had taken a -few hours rest; , in
order to lose no time in gathering togethirrhis ,
recruits.
The dread - discovery had been%constantly
before our hero during the arraugeti►eht of this
negotiation, for his person was well known _to
many of the Major's troops. and,if any of them
had come tip. : his feigned name would notpro,
wet him from detection. He wished to get off
that night as he prposed : but to this wither
his host nor the Major would hear, and he was
'forced to 'remain till tnorning.—What, was his
anguish to hear. that the' Major had been gone
Some hours, and was already on his way to the
Bunkers with his troops. Dissembling his,
anxiety, David partook of a hearty breakfast,
and, mounting his horse; rode slowly away..
But when out of sight of the house he struck
into a fierce gallop, vhich he continued till he
came in sight of a cross-road, where was a
tavern. Ilere he stopped, and learning that the
royalists had taken the highroad, he turned
aside into amore narrow and more -circuitous
by road.
"It is my only chance to. avoid them," he
said, and dashing into a gallop. - "I pray God.
I may reach the settlement in time to collect a
few of our lads, and march to the Bunkers.
There is no other hope now left."
Night had fallen, as they had expected. be
fore the tories were able to reach the vicinity
of the house they were in search of. At length,
however, after a silent march in the woods, it
broke upon their view. A light was burning
in one of the windows and when they ,areived
close to the premises, the lively notes of a vio
lin reached then• ears, proving that the broth
ers-were-not-nware-of-their presence,hutwerer
enjoying themselves in fancied security..
"Now men," whispered the leader of the
“wheo, I give the word. fire a voile,
the house, by way of introduction- : we wit
then surround the house and enter it."
. At'that instant. the deep bay of a dog rang
on their cars, and a large mastiff sprang from
under the house and rushed at the Major.
•'Fire-!" he cried.
Twenty guns broke upon - the stillness of the
night—the dog fell dead—every pane of glass
in the windows were shivered, and the tories
yelled like savages. In an instant the light in
the house was extinguished—the violin as
quickly ceased, and a. noise was heard at the
door. The tories immediately made a rush at
it. 43ut it was alr6ady barred, and' being.
made of stout oak plank resisted all their. ef- .
forts. A rifle cracked from one of the upper
windows, and one of the tories fell, fatally
wounded. Another report gum - ceded. - and
another tory fell. Major Wilson was now
fully aware that both Bunkers were at home ,
and wide awake. A.shed turned the rain from
the front of the house, and beneath_this_the
tories shielded from the fire of the Bunkers,
went to work'at the door. Suspecting such
resistance—perhaps from his k now edge of their
character—one of the men brought an axe.
with which he commenced hewing at the door,
and soon cut it into piecei. Here a desperate
battle ensued. The brothers were powerful
men, and courageous as they were strong ; and
now with clubbed rifles they disputed the
whole tory . force. The door being .small, they
stood-their ground for half an r. felling
dur
ing that time, some of those who had the
temerity to enter first, but finally numbers
overpowered them, and they were flung upon
the floor and bound. The toties - inflamed to
madness at. the resistance which-had-been
made, and at their own losses, now seised th
mother and sister, and made preparations to
hang the two -brothers before their eyes. The
ropes were _alreadytied aroutid the becks of
their victims, whe'n the Major addressed his
tnen :
-.Now friends, as soon as these villains are
- dead, we will set tire to the house—the old
woman there," he said, With a briial laugh,
"may be left inside, but the young one I reserve
for myself."-
'•Hist !" cried one of the men, in a loud
voice. The Major 'ceased, and they heard a
voice outside the house. Although the words
were spoken low, the listener distinctly heard.
"when I say fire give it to them !"
A man with blanched cheek now rushed
into the house, exclaiming—
" The yard is full of men 1"
'Tire!" cried a deep voice from ,The yard.
A general volley succeeded, and so well bad
been the aim directed in the door that several

wounded. In turn the tories retreated up the
stairs, when David, our hero, rushed into the
room, they had just !eft, and cut the ropes that
