KIND WORDS.
BY Jt'LlAN CRAMER.
Obo little word, if softly spoken,
Una llttlo toar, if kindly shed ' '
Can heal the spirit bruised and broken,
And cure the heart that long bath bled.
Onoo, In a distant land, a st ranger
Alike unknowing and unknown
A prey to every hidden dnngcr
I wandered darkly on alone.
With mournful tidings often greeted,
Until my soul was sick ana sore,
Mv heart at last would not bo cheated
"With what bad oured its pains before.
So deep and hitter was my sorrow,
Existence was a constant pain ;
I wished not to perceive the morrow,
Or greet the guie of man again.
Just then, when all was durk before me,
And llopo had closed hor wing to die,
Tho music of a voioo stolo o'er in a
Scarce louder than an infant's sigh.
Tho words wcro fow, but oh, how tender !
Their hullowed accents still I hear ;
They made toy stubborn grief surrender,
And buniched every sinkiug fear.
Oh, yo who have no goods nor money
To give to those who mourn aud weep,
Kind words nro sweeter fur thnn boney,
And twice ten thousand times us cheap !
A LEAP YEAR LAMENT,
Bother ! 'tis leap year, boys.
Awful to think of it;
Ruin is yawning, boys,
We're on the brink of it ;
Victims to woman's schemes,
Each of us, all of us,
Sure as we arc living, boys,
They'll bo tho fall of us.
Full of us, all of us,
bachelors, young and old ;
Maidens arc planning, boys,
Nolhiug their tongues can hold.
Planning all forte of thing'
Awlul to think of it!
Ruin approaches, boys,
We're on the brink of it.
Confound the girls, I ssy,
Tyrants the whole of thorn
Rinding us wretches, toys,
To tho control of them ;
Shy of tho witches, boys.
For we are weui, you know,
Worst of it they know it
bhuuic I must speak it so !
Topping the question, boys,
That's what they'll do to us.
If we but give tho plagues
Half a side view of us ;
Red lips and sparkling eyes,
Well, let me think of it ;
Heigh ! tweet ruin, boys,
I He the brink of it.
TALES AND SKETCHES.
lCIOK.'VE'M
of rm:
The following "iuciilcnU'' nro furiiiuiicil
liy a great tiiimlson of "Uncle John" L'nclc
.lohn, so culled familiar!; .y his kindred aud
iifi;;!iliors, was John Levering:, of the town
ship of Uoxliorottgh, nenr thu city of Phila
delphia.. He was n patriot (if thu truest
stump, a limn of established reputation for
piety nnd morul goodness, and for many
years wa the senior deitcon of the Haptist
church nt Koxlmrough. He died at mi
advanced n;je nearly forty years ago, leaving
a numerous nnd respectable family. Ho was
uctivc in the Itevolutionnry war, nnd was
connected with Washington's military
family. His recollections of the gront lender
of our armies were muny and vivid, aud lie
delighted to recount them nt the close of his
life. Tho writer of this lias heard him re
l.ito the first incident, the tears flowing dow n
his venerable checks nil the v, hile :
DIVINE PROTECTION,
Said Uncle John, "in the summer of 1T78,
while pursuing Gen. Howe's urmy through
East Jersey, the American genernlsquurtered
for the uiyht in 1111 adjacent farm house.
Wayworn ami exhausted, Washington, La
fujette, Green and Knox extended their
weary bodies on the floor of a comfortless
tceond story room. "LSlue Billy," Washing
ton's negro servant, lay 6tretched, partly
from u privileged habit of being near his
muster, aud partly its a sort of iuncr body
guard, across tlicfetuirway landing. During
tho night a heavy thuuder storm pcnled
above aud around us, terrifying to all except
thoso who could trust in the Almighty,
Flash nfter flash, and peal upon peal, lol
lowed in quick succession, bleep was im
possible. All were awakened, yet none felt
disposed to arise. Just in tho heaviest, a
bolt, with a stunning report, descended the
chimney to the open fire place, bounded over
the generals and liilly, passed down th
staircase, and out the unclosed door way,
committing do injury. Upon looking out
of tho window, we could see three dwellings
on tire at the same time, and felt thankful
' for our providential escape.
liED DANK.
Brother Jucob was styled . a "neutral,"
though a truo patriot at heart and a secret
spy of General Washington. Ha resided
near the Schuylkill, in w hat is now Mana-
yuuk, then, a few houses, and under tho pre
tence of furnishing the British with the pro.
duce of his farm, he obtained valuable in'
formation, which he transmitted to Geo
Washington. On one occasion, when obliged
to stay all night in the city, Samuel U., a
'Tory" cousin with whom he lodged, pri
vately informed lam of the intention ot Gen,
Howe to semi a clandestine expedition to
sururisfl and seize Ked Bunk early next
mornias but one. Jacob treasured tho in
formation, 'hoped they might attain their
oblect.' turned over and went to sleep, op
parently, but in reality he was meditating
upon tno quickest way 01 getting tuo tuici
licence to General Washington,
Jacob reached homo late the next after
noon, and when an opportunity offered
beckoned me Into the haymow (I was home
on a furlough then,) told me the scheme,
and we laid our plans accordingly. After
supper Jacob complained of fatigue, and
proposed tnat tlie iaruiiy soou'i cany retire
to rest, which they did. Aa soon as we
considered th Inmates sound asleep, Jacob
silently let me out of a back window, down
over tho shed roof to trie ground, tueuce to
the river bank, where unmooring a small
boat, I crossed to the opposite suore, secured
the boat, ran ud the bauK, tapped at a win
dow of the ferryman's house, and soon gained
admittance.
"Uncle Anthony, 1 have business or great
importance with General Washington this
niiht. Can vou lend me a horse 1 '
"Yes. John. Behind the kitchen door
tbee will find my great coat thcu go to the
stable and take ny best riding horse; thee
will find his saddle hanging up behind him.
I don't care if thee rides him to death, so
tbee does It for good,"
I did as I was bidden, and by eleven o'olock
that night was at "headquarters," in Valley
Forge. Passing the sentries, I was ushered
into Washington' room. There, upon tbe
floor, wrapped in their cloaks, lay the Cora
mandcr-in-Chicf. Lufnyctte, aud Green. They
arose upon my entrance, whereupon I began
tho news; but Washington motioned silence,
and conducted me into another room. There
ho kneeled by a desk and oilercd up ntilent
prayer to God, tho ruler of all armies.
After prayer he attentively listened to my
Story, called in Green and Lafayette, ac
quainted them with the intended attack,
and commenced inimediale operations. Be
ing thankfully dismissed, I reached home
and was in bed again without one of the
family bat Jacob knowing of my ubscuce..
MASSACrtC AT WOOD'S BARN.
We shiink wilh horror and disgust from
the atrocities perpetrated by thu British on
unsuspecting outposts and pickets of the
Continental army ; even defenceless women
and children escaped not the ruthless sword
of the bigoted hirelings of British power.
Near Mandyunk stands a house and barn,
at that lime held by Mr. Wood and family,
and occupjed '. e., the barn lor a short
time, by a picket of the Americans, under
command ot u wealthy Virginia ollicer. The
British becoming acquainted wilh the fact,
sent a nocturuul cxpcuilion to assault them.
The red coats were guided by a Tory wo
man who was familiar w ith the neighbor
hood. After surrounding tho baru they set

to flee were either shot or bayoneted. An
old serving man of thu family, while run

nnd killed by an English musketeer, who
tauuted the children with haviug "shot their
rebel daddy." Mrs. Wood, covering tlie
house-roof with wet blankets, WR9 exposed
to their uir.i ; but neither she nor any other
of the household received injury. A few of
the picket escaped with severe wounds,
proving mortal in many cases. One poor
fellow's head, dreadfully sabered, was tied
up by a neighboring lady, who boated h:m
to the west side of Schuylkill river, leaving
him with directions to Washington's camp,
but never hearing of him afterward. The
ollicer commanding the picket escaped to n
wood which lay back of an adjoining pro
perty. A female who lived on tho place
reluted that on three successive occasions,
when milking, she heard moans towards thu
woods, but being timorous, she did not
mention it till alter they ceafed; w hen search
was made, they found the body of tbe ollicer,
with the teeth sunk deep into hia own
shoulder, caused by tho extreme agony of
his wounds. The body was silently but re
spectfully luid in a grave beneath the trceB,

Among the many w ho flocked to support
tlie newly -raised stundurd of American
liberty was John Wood, a brave, active, in
telligent Peunsylvauian. He had volunteer
ed his services to General Washington and
received un appointment inachoseu body of
Itglit uorse scouts, whose business was to
eep the Cominauder well apprised of the
movements of the British outside of Pinta
il phia.
One time when "Jack," (as he was fami
liarly culled by the troop) and two or three
f his comrades were on a "scout near est
Miiladelphia, they met n small detachment
1 liritisti : to avoid an encounter too Ameri
cans fled into a by road which led lo ano
ther way leading trom t lie city closely
followed by the enemy. Before tliev reach
ed the end of the road, a troop of Ilessiau
horsemen approached in front at a gallop.
he scouts, a short distance from an angle
f the road, halted, held a brief consultation,
drew their pistols, waited in silcnco until
the Hessians turned thu corner, and then
gave them a volley which dropped a couple
t horses; those behind could not be checked
time to prevent being piled over tlie '
bodies of tho fullen steeds. The result was
complete formation of a barrier of men
and horses, breast high, across the road.
Jac k" aud his party, as soon ns they saw
tho effect of their bhots, leaped the fence 011
their lett nnd disappeared in the neighboring
woods, leaving the pursuing putty of British
to condole w ith their wounded uud bruised
comrades.
fter several remarkable escapes from the
enemy, Wood was eventually killed by a
portion of tho same division of Hcssinus,
whom he had so roughly handled as above
mentioned. The lieutenant, in one of hia
rambles became acquainted with and wooed
a jouug woman residing iu West Philadel
phia. lien expecting a customary visit,
she informed the British of it ; they, on the
day appointed, despatched a body of "Ya
gers 'Ilessiau rineiueu to a house located
by his road. Iho "lagers' entered the
dwelling, drove the family into a back room,
placed a guard over them, and watched for
some oue. Presently our lieutenunt made
his appearance, riding slowly uloug, unsus
pecting danger, and when opposite, a rille
uiun fired through the crack of tho door as
it stood ajur, uud shot him in the back.
Wood immediately w heeled and galloped
back with speed nearly two miles, where he
met a countryman coming to market. The
farmer, seeing he was wounded, and the
blood running down both sides of his sad
dig, told hiiu so "Bide on ride lor life 1"
and then urged his own nag down the road
to meet the pursuing Hessians. As soon as
he came in sight ot them, he wuved his hat
and shouted : "Turn back I For God's sake,
turn back ! There is a whole troop of rebels
tearing down upon you !" Tho "green coats"
needed no more. 1 hey instantly turned and

At the time that Washincton and his ar

the Schuylkill, at Market St., Philadelphia
was crossed upon a "floating" or "moored"

While the American main body was in
active, smaller detachments of picked men
having better knowledge of tbe region
than their enemy, ventured on and even
within their lines. A "Maior" Jussup com
manded a company of twenty men, selected
for their acuity and fleetness ot foot. 1 uese,
known aa "Jossud's BcouU." acted as indo
pendent rangers, cutting off or driving in

themselves in the bushes. At daybreak a
regiment of the English un a predatory ex

a few feet of the western shore, Jessup's men
debouched, immediately cut tho rope, and as
quickly fled, leaving their Iocs to swing
around and land in Philadelphia Again.
Itnpidly recovering from their surpriso as
they floated around, they discharged a vol

IIETRIIICTIVE JUSTICE.
In tho dark days of the Revolution, when
the treasury was low, credit exhausted, and
famine facing the army, a great many patri
otic farmers appointed a person to collect
donations of graiu, each one giving what he
could afford.
The w heat thus gathered was converted
into flour by a miller residing on a tributary
of the Schuylkill, not tilt y miles from Phila
delphia, the soldiers, after eating the bread
umdu of it, sickened, and many died in great
pain. Upon searching for the flour, sifting
it into water, crushed glass was found to be
a large ingredieut. Suspecting tho miller,
and investigating tlio case, they discovered
he was a secret royalist or Tory. A number
of troops immediately proceeded to his home,
seized him in his mill, uud, without allowing
timo even for prayer, hung him to the beam
across the gate-way in front of las house.
MISCELLANEOUS.
'i'lie I'ilgi-iimijje oi'u Icst.
Toward tho beginning of the present cen
tury a prodigious body of locusts was pre
cipitated across the Black Sea upon the
steppe lying East of Odessa, w here it com
mitted tlie most indescribable devastation.
To destroy the iuvaders, columns of serfs
were marched down from the interior ; but
on arriving at the sceue of action, were al
most paralyzed by tho phenomenon they
witnessed. For utiles the whole surfaco of
tho plain, converted into a black color, seem
ed to be alive and in motion ; for thu scaly
bodies of the locusts, closely pressed and
locked together, presented tho appearance
of a huge, dusky cuirass letketiug with a
strange glitter in the ruys of the sun.
The mass being in motion, advanced in
land, slowly but steadily, murmuring like
the surtres of the ocean, putting the sheen.
the cattle, thu horses, and tho inhabitants
on all sides to flight. A stench not to be
expicssed by-words was emUlud from the
hosts as it crawled onward, tho living du
vouring the dead, for lack of other proven
tier. Putting their mu'itocks, spades, pick
uxes, aud other implements into immediate
requisition, the serfs speedily excavated a
trench several miles in length across the
track of tho locusts, but ere they had finish
ed the enemy was upon them, and soon de
monstrated the futility ot their device.
In the course of a few miuutes f;oui their
reaching the brink of the excavation, tho
foremost ranks hod been pushed into it by
those that followed, ami tilled it up lrotu
dge to edge, so that the multitudo contin
ued its march apparently without intcrrup-
ion : then cvervtl.ing comuustiDio wag col
lected, and st-t on fire in front of the column,
with the same result. Tho whole Black Sea
seemed to be transformed into locusts, which
from its low shores, came up in couutless
myriads, setting at defiance all the arts and
udtistry 01 man. several columns u me
invaders filed off toward the Last, and
alighted amid tho vineyards of the Crimea,
which thev Soon changed into a waste ot
apparently dry aud bapless twigs.
liussia appeared to bo on tho eve of a
calamity like that which fell upon it about
the middle of the seventeenth century, wlicn
the destruction of tho harvests occasioned a
famine, which was followed by a plague, so
that the population ot w liole provinces was
thinned almost to extermination. In the
present instance, the elements catuo to the
tleliverenco of num. Before a strong West
wind, musses of black clouds came pouring
op from the Bosphorus, which covered the
atmosphere, and ultimately descended in
floods of raiu. At the touch ot descending
Jove, the locusts were paralyzed, end as the
celestial moisture coutitnied to drench them
in pitiless fashion, they gavo up the ghost,
and bequeathed tneir nituy corpse to me

without sundry fevers and dysenteries.

Ell l.i:M I'OK COLIt'l'I.XJ.
The following good advice on the abovo
subject is from thu pen of John Quill, who
seems to have had rather a blissful experi
ence in such matters :
Having had much experience in the
science of courtiog, I hare determined here
with to lay dowu some definite rules for
the guidance of my young friends. You
see I had a good Uiuny unstiuccssf.il courts
before I met my wife, the females whom I
loved having gone emphatically back on
me. But, bless you, did it harm me 1 10,
it didn't. I was benefitted thereby, and
when I met my wile I knew tlie ropes, uud
guthericg up my affections, made onu fell
swoop on Sal lie's heart, nnd the door there
of banged wide open and let me in. I will
give you the rules nnd shed the sunny light
of illustration upon them from my own life.
First. Never go courting the girl's pa
routs. You'd better edge up to the charmer
at once, for you can't marry her if you don't
try, unless she wants you, and you may be
able to, even if the old folks are hard on
you.
This is the policy I pursued myself in my
last unsuccessful attempt.
Second. By all means get the girl's ma
down on you as much ns possible. It tho
old lady is always blowing against you, the
little dear begins to take your pan, mid
can't help loving you.
I did this way, and my present mother in
law used to throw brooms and washboards
at me, nnd teach the dog to bitr me in the
trowscrs os I climbed over the fence.
Third. If you see any others prowling
about euchre them if you can. If you see
one of them buy tickets for the opera, go
up and make an engagement with the girl,
and get your tickets afterwards ; but, w hen
they visit tbe house, always act as if you
were nt homo and they were only visitors,
and never leave first.
I always did this, and have frequently sat
until daybreak, while the fair one snored
away on the sofa. You cau't bluff me. No,
sir : ha 1 ha I I guess not. I would have
been th"re vet if the fellow had staved.
Fourth. If the old man has worldly
wealth, express a dislike to greenbacks, aud
a hankering after love in a small house.
Fifth. It' vou are long in the parlor, you
may sometimes try if your arms lit well ou
her waist.
I tried this once, and called forth a pier
cing scream, winch iuduced her lieuvv
father and two brothers to chuck me dowu
the front stairs. So you be careful.
Sixth. When you inquire if she will have
you, don t tall ou your Knees. It's ridicu
lous, besides being rough on trowsers. Just
take her hand and speak out like a man.
I behaved similarly to this to a female.
and said to her:
"Will you be mine?"
She replied rather abruptly ;
"Xot much, I won't I"
It's likely she would have been a little
timid, but I did not care about pursuing
the subject any further.
Seventh. When you are engaged, don't
go off like on old jackass nnd begin buying
teaspoons, and washboilers, and caudles. It
is very unwise, nnd excites comment.
Why, I recollect, I was once so glad that
I went right off and purchased a baby-
jumper and a gum-ring. It was a long
while ere those tilings were necessary, and
the baby jumper had Bhrunk so that when
we put the first of tho little Quills into it,
it suddenly jerked up, and catuu frightfully
near battering the devoted child's brains
out against the ceiling, while the gum riug,
which had been kept iu a box with cock
roach poison, threw the baby into fits, and
he it was a boy had spasms iu the crib
for four days.
Eighth. It a girl reluses you, don t givo
it up, but tty oguin. Because two negatives
maku oue alhrmutive in grammar, nowever,
don't consider yourself accepted when a
girl jilts you twice.
I asked one temale lorty-one times, and
at last she got to expcctwbcucvcr I came, am
would sometimes holler out ".io trom tlio
top of the stairs, before I got fairly into the
house. This is unusual, let me hero remark.
Ninth. Kiss all the children in a house,
even if they are dirty, and smear molasses
candy in your hair. Let the boy play house
with you and mono a tool 01 you generally.
This always works. It's a trump card if
you play it right.
lentil. And nnany, 11 lucre aru two sis
ters und the old one is jealous, get some
one to choke her off, while you go in for the
younger.
1 did tlint once, and used to get a inenti
to ask the senior out for the evening, but
she found me out, and used to arrange her
hairpins in the sofa cushions before sho
went out, so that it was extremely uncom
fortable. Thus it will bo seen that when courtship
is alluded to, I am right there. If any fur
ther information is wanted, send mo a letter
enclosing a stamp, (fifty cents.) and I will
cheerfully give it gratis.

letter from a gentleman of this city dated

Manuhe fok Irish Potatoes. For one
acre take 8 bushels of wood nshes, 0 bushel
of quick iiiuu, (oyster-shell lime should have
thu prcd-rcnce, if it can bo obtained,) 4 bu
shels of plaster, uud 2 bushels of salt, mak
ing 20 bushels in nil ; mix thoroughly to
gether, and apply in the hill ut a rate which
will carry 20 btiHhels over an acre.
Tlie above supplies the essontial ingredi
ents fir a largu growth of potatoes, and
something more, provided the . soil be not
excessively meagre ; and if there be an ex
cess of these ingredients over the require
ments for the present crop, it will be very
sure to remain in the soil for the benefit of
future crops, Especially will it bo so if tho
succeeding crops be potatoes, and if tha
tops be left each year to rot on tho ground,
so that the potash they contain (this being
the most important ingredient in the mix
ture) may go to the benefit of the succeed
ing crop. I will heto say that from actual
experiment I have learned that although
rotation in crops is undoubtedly beucficial,
generally, the potato may be made an ex
ception, if treated to the foregoing compost.
