The year 1781 was a dark and gloomy one fur our forefathers, who were then strug gling for liberty. In South Carolina, affairs were then in a critical situation ; General Greene made an unsuccessful attack on the British post of Ninety-six, and withdrew his men beyond the Tiger and Bread rivers. Lord liawdec followed lain bnt couldn't draw tuo patriotic General iuto an engage ment. At that period there stood in North Caro lina a plain and unassuming house ; it was a one story building, neatly whitewashed, and surrounded by a fence. The garden contained- many choice flowers, and then beautiful honey suckles shaded the doors and windows. It was tbe house of Mr. Ueatb, who lived with her two daughters, while ber son George was ia 'Washington's army fighting for freedom. Kate, the eldest of tho daughters, was a beautiful girl of sixteen summers ; her au-, burn hair hung in graceful curls down her shoulders, and her face beamed with kind ness, while her eyes shone like the pretty stars that lighted tip the azuro faults of heaven. One evening as Kate was standing at the cottage door, she beheld two mounted offi cers approaching. They were lichly dress ed and ono of thorn she recognized as Lord Hawdon, the commander of the British for ces in that section of tbe country. They rode up to her, and llawdon leaned over in his saddle aud uddrvssed her in a kind voice. "Well, miss, can you let me have the use of a room fur a few minutes i" "Yes sir, our house is open to you," "Come, Colonel, lot's hurry up business," Said Rawdon, dismounting, while the colo nel did the same, the latter leading the horse to the stable. Lord Kawdon advanced to where Kate was standing, aud said : "Whose honse is this, miss t" "Mrs. Heath's, sir." "Ha I her son is in the rebel army under Washington, is he not t" Kate trembled at tbe insult, and she look ed at the Briton with a searching glance. "My brother is not a rebel ; be 1 fighting for his country." "I'm sorry lor that ; he is a brave boy, and would no doubt make a good British soldier," returned Itawdon. "Lord Rawdon, you insult me, sir. I would rather see him die a felon's death than see him in the King's army," was the heroic answer. "I see you are a rebel too, Miss Heath. But here comes tbe colonel." said Rawdon, as be saw that worthy coming from the sta ble. Tbey entered tho house and went into a room to hold a consultation. Kate thought that they might have something imnortant to say, so she concluded to play the part of eaves aropper. tint) toia ner motner or ner intention, who approved of it, and Kate placed herself ia a position, to bear the Briton plans. It was a dangerous undertaking, and aha koeaT that if she was caught in the act of itfiemng sue wouia do treated as a spy ana perhaps executed, for Lord Itawdon knew no mercy. She cautiously approached the door and looked through a crevice). Raw don and his Colonel were seated at a small table on which lay their maps. They were examining them closely, while Rawdon wu explaining them to the Colonel. "Here is Greene's camp," said he, 'and here is ours. We must make a bold strike, and if it bo successful, Greene will be de stroyed." "I don't see wly it should sot succeed, do you my Lord I" "No 1 if our troops fight as well as they hare heretofore, we shall succeed," said Rawdon, lis face assuming f triumphant expreeeiuB. 'I shall feel happy when these cursed re bels ara drivoo away from North Carolina, and then their rule will ba over," said Colo nel Robert. "We must crash Greene, Colonel, I do not wish to go back to England and let it be aid that I wu out generated by rebel. No, Never 1" exolaimed Rawdon rising to his feet. "Then we make the attack at day break, do we not I" asked the Colonel. "We do, have your regiment ready, and make your men fl gut like demons." "Let cs go uow. But hold I what is the countersign for the pickets to-night, my Lord 1" "England," answered Lord Rawdon, low ering his voice. Kate listened to the Briton's p'.ans with a wild throbbing heart, and sho resolved to save the patriotic army. When sho heard tbe countersign she loft tho door and busied herself with her household duties, and soon the two officers emerged from the room. "We must go. Miss Ueatb, but first see," said Lord Rawdon,. "Your thanks are received," answered Kate. The horses were saddled and the officers were soon on their way. Kate watched them till they were out of sight and then prepared for her perilous journey. She threw a shawl over ber head ana went to the stable. Her Beet-looted horse neighed as she entered, and she pat ted him on the bead and said ; "Well, noble Selim, you must csrry me safely through to night, for if you do not, Greene will be destroyed." Our heroine saddled Sulim, led him from the stable, and was soorr riding towards Greene's camp, which was eight miles dis tant. She rode swiftly for she wanted to reach her destination in time to let the pa triot general form his men to meet tho assault. Tbe British pickets wore four miles dis tant, and she would be compelled to pass through the lines, but as she was now in the possession of the countersign she did not fear the result. Soon Kate saw the picket's bayonet gleam in the moonlight and heard him cry out, . "Who goes there ?" "A friend, with the countersign." ' She approached the picket and whispered; "England 1" "All right, pass on. But stop !" cried the picket as be caught a glimpse of her face. Kate stopped hor horse and laid her hand on ber pistol. The picket approached and said : "Is that you Miss Heath V "It is, Guy," returned Kate, for she recog nized the soldier to be Guy Jackson, who had often visited their bouse. "Where are you going to-night, Miss Kate i" he asked. "I am going to see Mrs. Blake, she is very sick." "Just like you Miss Kate always visiting the sick, you are a ministering augol," said the haughty Briton. "Thank you for the compliments Guy. But I must be going good night." And Kate was again on her journey, while tho picket returned to his post. She had to pass four miles ere she would be safe, so she urgod on her steed. Before she bad gone a hundred yards from Guy Jackson's, a dozen mounted Britons rode furiously up to the picket, and their leader cried out : 'Did any person pass this ppit a short time since V 'Yes,' was the picket's reply. 'Do you know who it was V 'I do, it was Miss Heath.' 'Had sho the countersign, air )' 'Yes sir.' 'I fear she is safe. Forward men ! If she escapes Greene is saved. A hundred golden guineas and a commission to the man that catches her,' cried the leader of the band, as they dashed after the brave girl, leaving the pipket ia a state of bewil derment. Kate soon heard the sound of her pursu ers, and she pushed on faster. It was a race for life or death, British horses were frcsb, while hers was beginning to show signs of fatigue. 'Forward, Sclim, you must take me to Greene's camp,' said Kate to hor noble horse. But hor enemies gained on her. and one of them seemed bent on catching her for ho was some yards in advance of bis comrades. Kato heard the ominous tramp of his hone and drew her pistol. Nearer he came until he was at ber side, and then cried out ; 'Halt' you cursed rebel. These were his last words for bravo Kate fired and the bullet crushed through his brain. The others did not stop to look at their dtfad comrade, but pressed on. They near ed her again and another trooper received his death wound. The remainder of them halted, and a mo ment after Kate heard tha American picket cried out; 'Who goes there 1' 'Kate Heath,' cried our heroine, as the dashed through the line. The soldier bad raised his gun, but when he heard the name it was lowered, and ha answered All right !' The American camp was reached, Kate threw herself from tbe saddle and placed her faithful and noble horse in care of a soldier. Where is Greene's tent V 'To tho right thero where you see that light,' replied the man pointing to the place. She entered the General's tent and found him engaged in writing, be raised his eyes then rose to his feet and said i You come here at a late hour, Miss Heath !' I do General, and you are in a very great danger.' 'How is that C exclaimed the excited Gen eral. The brave girl told ber story, and the pa triotic General grasped her hand while the tears trickled down his careworn cheeks. Thank God I you have saved my army. I can never repay you.' I want no payment. The thought that I had done my duty, and the thanks of Na thaniel Qreen are worth more than gold or diamonds', was the heroic reply. Take my thanks, my brave girl, and the great Jehoviah watch over you and guide you through the changing tcenoa of life, responded Greene. 'And msy He save, my country top, an swered Kate. 'You need rest. Here Miss Kate, sleep in my tent to sight, while I seek a resting place among my men,' sajd the kind beartej General' "I do not wish to rob you of your couch, General." You will not I shall be engaged in forming my troops for tha attack,' and General Greene left the tent, Kate enjoyed a good rest that night, and in tbe morning General Green came to her and Joyfully exclaimed : 'Good newsl Lord llawdon is in full re treat t' 'We took a prisoner this morning, who says you frustrated their plans and saved the army. God bless you for the good act. But I must leave you now, for I am going to follow Rawdon, and teach him that We can fight.' When are yon going home, Miss Death V 'In a few minutes.' 'Good bye, and may you have a safe jour ney,' responded tho General, shaking her by tho hand. Her horso was led forth, and she started on her way home, which she reached in safety, Kato Heath lived to see tho war closed and peaco and plenty spread their wings over the land, and not long after she was wedded to Walter Gordan, who had been a Colonel in the American Army. MISCELLANEOUS. Icncll-Lcad Mines and Iead Pencils. Every one knows what a black lead pen cil is, but it is not generally known that there is not a particle of lead in the pencil. The material variously known as black lead, graphite or plumbago, is almost wholly composed of carbon. It probably owes its misnomer to the fact that previous to the employment of graphite for making pencils, common lead was used, and this within the present century, For a long time tbe bcBt graphite was obtained, not in very large quantities, at Borrowdale, in the English county of Cumberland, where it was discov ered in 1504, early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and pencils, much like those still in general use, were produced ia the year following. As the supply of the graphito (known in Cumberland, whilo in tho mine, by tbe title wad), was not largo, the British government, from the first, took great pains to prevent tho exportation of the article, anu even to limit its homo sale to a supply just sufficient to meet the estimated do- inana, Graphite ia found in various parts of Europe, and even in North America, but of very inferior quality. The Cumberland mines were worked only a few woeks in each year, yet tbe yield of wad was estimated at 40, 000 a year. While the graphito lasted, England had a monopoly in supplying tho best pencils to tho world. Year after year, for a century past, the graphite deposit in Cumberland became "fine by degrees and gradually less." Tho result was that gra phite powder had to bo compressor into a solid cako from which pencils could be sup plied. A French variation, said to be an improvement, was to mix the powdered and purified graphite with clay, which is largely done still. Nearly one hundred and fifty years sgo, the pencil manufacture commenced in Eng land, and improved in France, was trans planted to the village of Stein, near Nurem berg, in Bavaria, and little more than a cen tury since, Casper Fabcr there began to make tbe pencils, which continued to be made by the descendants and bear the family name throughout the world. The present John Lothair Fabcr, preat grandson of Cas per, has been head of the firm sinco 1639, and is not only very wealthy, but has recently been ennobled by the king of Bavaria. One of his brothers is associated with him at Stein, in tbe process of manufacture ; the youngest of the three, Eberhard Faber, re presents the firm for the Western Wprld, at New York. Stein is literally a town of pencil fac tories, of which Baron Faber is the ruler, taking care of tho health, government, edu cation, industry, thrift and amusements of the inhabitants, and always living in their midst. It may be asked how do the Fa bers make lead pencils without the famous graphite from Cumberland t It appears that twenty years ago John Peter Alibert, a Frenchman, resident lu Asiatio Siberia, having heard of tho gold discoveries in California, began to examine the sandy beds of various rivers flowing into the Arctic Ocean. He found sarpptes of pure graphite, evidently brought a considerable distance by forco of tho stream, ia one of the moun tain gorges nrar Irkurtsk, and pursuing his discovery, tracked back to a branch of the Salan Mountain range, on the summit of Mount Batongol, 275 miles west of tho town of Irkurtsk near tho Chinese froutier, in the midst of the rocky desert, aud found pure graphito. After years of costly labor Alibert found an cxbaustlcss deposit of graphite equal to tho bpst ever taken from Cumberland. Be sido decorating and rewardiug him, the Russian Government changed the namo of Mount Batougol to that of Mount Alibert. Nearly every crowned head in Europe has honored him. With the consent of the Russian Government, Alibert now supplies Faber houso exclusively with graphite from the mine in Asiatio Siberia. Pencils of this material were firtt made by Baron Fabcr in 1861, and were not introduced in the American market until 18C5, from which time artists and others perceived and ac knowledged thuir superiority. If the world were to endure a thousand years more, thero is sufficient graphito in Mount Ali bert to supply its population with good black Lead pencil. Men Only Langb. Laughter Is not a foolish thing ; some times there is even wisdom in it. Solomon himself admits there is a time to laugh as well as to mourn. Man only Uughs man, tbe highest organized being; and hence the definition that has been proposed of him, a "laughing animal." Certainly it defines him as well as a "cooking animal," a "tool making animal," a "money-making ani mal," a "political animal," or such like Laughter very often show the bright side cf a man. It brings out his happier nature, and shows of what tort of stuff ho Is really made. Somehow we feel as if we never thor oughly know a man until we hear him laugh. Tha solemn, sober visage, like a Sunday's dress, telle nothing of th real man. He maybe very silly, or very profound : very cross, or very jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and we can decipher him at once and tell how bia heart beats. W are disposed to suspect the man who never laughs. At all events, there ia a repulsion about him which ir cannot get over. Levator ssys, "Shun the man who never laiigbt, who dislike music or the glad face of a child." This ia what every body feels, and none mora than children, who are quick at reading char so lars, and their strong Instinct rarely de ceives them. fr'ttaUloataibla Btodoatj Considering the follies wbloa ar put forth in Lt Fulit, w rarely find muck plea sure in th news which cornea from Pan in the matter of the fashion. Hare, however, is a etatemtat which moat thoroughly de lights us : "Th drew ia not worn s low as last year, either oa tha back or front." It ssdly lowers one's opinion of the sense of the fair sex to consider that with many wo men modesty is nowadays a matter of mere tasliion, For many a montir past dresses have been worn so low as barely tobe decent. Ladies who of lnte have beon mod estly attired con Id lay no claim whatever to being in the fashion. Decency, however, is once more to be tbe mode, and, as few ladies haro tbe courage to disobey their dressma kers, we may hope that for a whilo, until the fashion changes, we may bo ablo to dine out, and even go to dances, without blushing for our partners.

"Where is ho now 1" "Ho is a lieutenant in a colorod regiment, and a prisoner at Charleston." For a moment tho old man ventured not to reply ; but at last, sadly and slowly, he said : "I feared as much, I have not heard of him for a lung time." They did not wait for another word, but these soldiers took from their wallets a sum of money, nearly twenty dollars, and offered it to tho old man. savins : "If our whole company were hero, Wo could give you a iiunured dollars.

Cl'lturk ok tiie Sweet Potato. Tha peculiar-requirements of the sweet potatoes are, a rich sandy loam soil, warm and dry. Our Northern droughts and beat do not effect them as they do the common potato, as their native habit is a warmer climate, ith plenty of sun. To secure these, plant on our warmest soil, in round high hill. Prepare the ground by good m.anuririg and plowing, as for other hoed crops. Any good warm manure, well worked into tho soil, is good, as tho sweet potato is not as particular as the Irish in this respect, but good fermented farmyard manure they luxu riate iu. llark the places for hills three feet from centers, by setting up sticks, and if further manuring is thought necessary, put a shovelful of composted farm manure in tno mil, and mix it well in tuo upper sou ; raise the hills with the hoe or shovel, teu inches high, rounding them of. This is for garden culture, it is more economically dono with the team and plow. As soon as dan ger of frost is past, which in this latitude is from the middle of May to tho first week in Juno, set the plants, two strong ones, or three smaller, to a hill, first brushing off a little of the tonsail of the hill : set the oiants I down, to the first leaf, pressing the Soil carer uuy.urmiy and close around tbe bottom. Damp or wet weather is best lor transplant ing, although by watering well they may be set at any other time. Tho after cultivation consists mainly in, keeping the ground clear of weeds, as for other hoed crops. The vines start 6lowly at firjt, after awhilo they run vigorously. In hoeing them, haul tbe soil towards tho plant, and occasionally lift the vines, to keep them from taking root. At the first frost, to cut tho vines, dig them in a dry day, and after drying off the soil, store them ia a warm place free from frost. They must he handled as carefully as choice fruit, to insure keeping. A fow may be drawn in August, or early, by running the finger into the bill, and when a good sized ono is felt, uncover it, and carefully remove it from tho stem, taking it out and returning the soil to its place. Where the crop is raised on a small scale, it is hotter to procure tho plants from nur serymen, or other distinguifhed propaga tors, as it is a somewhat peculai plant ta produce. Sweet potatoes are often raised in ridges, eight or ten inches high, three or four fret apart. More chubby ones ara raised where sods are placed in tie bottum of tho ridgos, as tho meeting the sod pro vents the extension in length. Tbe ridges should run north and south, to more fully receive tho benefit of the sun's rays in warming up the soil. Tbe vines should oc casionally bo (ifted, and keep on top of ridges. W. U. White, in Country Oentle nan. Curb for Hoo Cholera. I write to send a cure for the hog cholera that I know to ue CQod, and a certain cure, so far as I have tried it. Not to trespass on your space, I will give it in a few words. When a hope is first found to have the cholera, throw it on its back ; put a piece of tar, about tho size of a hipkory nut, on the end of a stick ; put it down its threat, bp sure it is swallow ed. I have tried it on a good many and cured every one. One in particular wae far gone as to have lost one of his leg. I lost a good many before this was tried. I clipped tneir ears and tail, but tuink that should bo left of, as it only weukens them. All hogs tnat looit droopy are benefitted by tar. Some recommend corn in tar, but I don't think the hog swallows enough in that way to be beueflltcd. . ICKtM'i:. Ac. From the Uormantown Telegraph To Preserve Ikons from Rcst.
