it w as not a verv larjre family for
those times. 1 here were omj iurec
millions of neotile in the whole thir
teen colonies then ; so it does seem
that, if they counted all the children,
there could" not have been a great
many old folks. However that may
Lave been, of all the deacon's twelve,
David was the only one left at Lome
in tbe fall of 1TT3 : ltecause be was
tLe youngest. The others were all
married and gone away, pave two ;
and those two had been for more
than twenty years in a brighter and
bfitrr home" the father and mother
lioth believed.
David was wventeen. hver since

hardly thought that such a boy as
Le could really be in earnest in such
a matter. "David loves to talk,"
the old man used to nav to bis wife,
"but 1 gucHJ, after all, he wouldn't
really care to go." The father did
pot know Li bov so well as be
thought he did: for one dav, lat in
tbe fall, when they were making
buuie repairs on the sbeep-ric near
the barn you must know that the
deacon waa a farmer David said to
Lira "Don't you iLiuk, lather, you
could ret alone without me, this
winter?"
The lathe stopped Li work and
looked at David thoughtfulir. "Do
Vou want to go away
V he asked, at
length.
I would like to join tl e array,
father."
"You join the arniv, David ? Wbv,
')m are only a boy ! ''
"Hut vou ar I can uo a man
work, father."
"Ay, on a farm ; but I did net
rs?an in the armv. Tbev need men
there!"
David's voan? blood was up. "If
I can do a man's work anywhere I
can do it in the army, father !"' I
can hit a squirrel as far as any man
who has goae from these parts ."'
"Like enough, David: you are a
good shot, I'll allow; but red-coats
ain't squirrel, yoa know!"'
"But I could he!p drive them out,"
aid David, more calmly. "They
need ninre men to take the place of
ll. who are going home. It seems
a if I might go, father, this winter.
1 woulcn't think oi staying any long
er, of course."
"You had better a:4 your mother,
David, and see what she ihiuks about
it." And the deacon resumed his
ti nr'i s if he bad do more to say.
The very fact that David had spo
ken in such a way was proof enough
to the deacon that David had decided
to go. Therefore Lis heart grew
heavy, for he felt thai he must lose
even his Inst child, for a time, at
least.
When they went into the house,
after completing their work, David
spoke to Lis mother, when Lis lather
was not near. "I don't know, moth
er, but I shall join the array; Iv'e
been talking witb father, about it."
"David," she said, as soon as she
conld recover from her surprise, "do
you know you are all we have? You
wouldn't go away and leave us"'
"Of course 1 wouldn't, mother,
only to Lclp drive out the red-coats.
Some of the men are going home,
you anow, anu the need others
take their places."
to
I s'prse we'd have to let Lim go,
Hannah," said tbe deacon, who after
all Lad overheard them. "He's onlv
a boy, but 1 don't know as we ought
to keep him at home, if tie's willing
to go. The couutry needs men and
boys, t03, now."
"O David! Ob, my son! 1 did not
thick it would come to this Hut if
it is God's will, I will not say nay."
The mother's voice trembled, and she
sat down to weep.
A week later, David was ready.
It was sixty miles to the American
camp, at Cambridge, and be would
make the distance on foot. A pack
for his back bad been made ready,
containing such things as be would
most need. On the morniug he was
to set out the good mother rose long
lelore day-dawn having bardlv
closed her eyes all through the long
night to prepare the best breakfast
the farm could afford. The deacon
sat before the fire, that crackled and
Mazed so cheerily on the broad
hearth, while Lis wife went busilv
about but he, too, was heavy of
Leart. When breakfast was over
and except by David it remained un
touched be took down tbe Bible
from its shelf ouer the fire-place, aad
read pat-sages that evidently express
ed in some degree his own IWlinga.
Then he knelt, and said: "I-et us
pray."
The prayer seemed to give bim
strength. Bising when it was finish
ed, be said :
"Now, David, it's time to go Yoa

She could not otter the words, b-it
pressed hereon in her arms, and be
went out from her sigLt.
At the crossing of two roads, half
a mile on his way, a maiden was
waiting; although' it wag so early
and a frosty morning. Ybea David
came near she went to meet him ;

The maiden's voice was very soft
and sad, and ber eyes grew moist

ful that be was cut to the soul. He
put bis arms around her very gently
and kiwx-d her. "I didnt mean it"

"I nappoee yoa will hare to go

hard "and mother has knit some

"Did your mother knit these?" be
asked, turning over tee last pair, evi

"No, David, I knit those

Of course it will be understood
that it was to tbe army under Wash
ington, then beleaguering Boston,
that David went. He arrived in
camp on the second day, and in hard
ly more than a month from that time
he was sent with a detachment to as
sist in fortifving Lechmere Point, il
rectly opposite the west end of Bos
ton, in what is cow known as East
Cambridge.
Gen I'utnam had alreadv taken
possession of a commanding emi
nenec in the same neighborhood, call
ed Cobble Hill, and he now wished
to erect werks at Lecbmere Point, to
be connected with those on Cobble
Hill by a bridge thrown across the
intervening creek, and a covered way;
he therefore availed himself of a
foggy, misty morning to commence
ornraLions at tbe Point
It was tbe 1 Tth of December. The
mist was so thick that tbe enemy did
not dicover what was going on till
near twelve o'clock, when it cleared
up, and opened to view the party at
tbe Point and another at tbe caase-
wav tnrowine a bridge orer the
creek. The Scarborough ship-cf-war,
ancho.-ed off the point, poured in a
broadside. Tbe enemy in Boston
threw shells. Tbe garrison at Cobble
Hill returned Ere. "Our men," says
tbe account, "were obliged to decamp
from the Point, but tbe wcrk was
resumed by the brare old general at
night."
The next morning the enemy re
sumed their fire. .Sentinels were
placed to give notice of a shot or shell ;
the men would crouch down or
dodge it and continue on with their
work.
For several days this labor was
continued ; tbe redoubts were thrown
np, and a covered way was con
structed leading down to the bridge;
all done nnder a continuous Ere from
tbe eaemv. Still, from a want of!
powder, the damage that 1 ntnam
was able to do the enemr seems to
have been of no great account
"Everything thaws here except Old
Put," remarked an officer, in writing
of the matter. "He is euU as fcard
as ever, crying out for powder pow
der powder. Ye gods, give us
powder."
David Allen was with tbe party
who went down that foggy morning
to take possession of Lechmere Point.
Ephraim, of whom Alie had spoken,
was aleo of the partv for Ephraim
was tbe brother of Alice, and before
enlisting, David bad sought him out
and would join no othercompany bat
bis.'
"I hope we'll get a chance at them
now," said David to Ephraim, as
they labored together on tbe works.
"I've got every ball I started witb
yet and I'd like to begin to get rid of
them."
"You'll have a chance before long,
Dave. Old Pat is bound to stir tbem
up in some way. It wouldn't be at
all strange if some of tbem should
come over as soon as it clears op."
"I hope they will." was tbe almost
breathless reply ; "and I hope we'll
be ready for them."
The fog lilted at last, and then the
frowning broadside of the great war
ship appeared dangerously near.
Still no one flinched in his work.
though many anxious glances were
turned toward those threatening guns.
Suddenly they belched forth in quick
succession great jets of lurid Game,
and the murderous iron came hurt
ling into tbe half-completed works.
The men crouched low ; all escaped
unhurt, and at once they resumed
their labor.
In their excitement some of tbe
men hardly deigned .o even stoop
again for tbe balls that followed.
Neither David or Ephraim paid much
attention to tLem ; ana sun all es
caped onharmed.
But, at last something dark flashed
between the two friends. "Down!"
cried a stern voice near tbem ; and
David sank as if in obedience to tbe
command. But a groan escaped him,
and at a glance Ephraim saw that
one of bis limbs had been almost torn
away. A cbain-shot bad struck him,
and be lay belptas, while his life
blood poured out opon the ground.
"Put something round it quick,
Eph., and draw it tight," was tbe
poor fellows first otterance.
Others sprangto Ephraim's assist
ance, and, binding op the wounded
limb, tbey bore the brave youth
away, "it's too bad," he 6aid as
tbey lifted bim up ; "I haven't fired
a single shot for my country yet ; and
now 1 never shall."
But suffering is a great softener of
tbe human heart, and, when David
had undergone amputation at tbe sur
geon's baads, be said to Epb. one
day be always called him Epb.:
"Perhaps its just as welL I might
have shot some one who has a father
cr mother or somebody else waiting
for him. I wouldn't like to know
that 1 had done that and I suppose
they've most all got friends some
body waiting for tbenr. If they
would only go borne without fighting.
twould be tne best war."
' They've no notion ot doing that,
X'ave. w e re got to start tbem !"
"I know it It's too bad. I
wouiam care to kui bo mucn as a
squirrel now. But, of course, tbev
must be driven out Tbey are the

too, if we don't drive tbem oct It's

Some years ago a pleasing ripple
was made in Loudon by learning that
a kind man bad been in the babit ot
spending some 10,000 a year iu fur
nishing dowers to por girls. It was
a fine piece of thoughtful generosity,
and doubtless made buudreds j!
homes where otherwise there would
bave beeu none. . In Italy there are
ineitutions lor tbis purpose which
bold over $fi.000.000 of property,
aud tbeir operations bave been at
tended with gratifying tesults. A
few benevolent ladies aud gentlemen
in England bave done something to
wards providing marriage portions
fo young ladies of family education,
wbo are destitute of fortune. Their
case is presented a peculiarly bard.
They cannot suppurt themselves by
manual labor. They would lose caste
were they to teach, bnt there is no
teaching for them to do. Indul
gently reared, with taste, culture, and
accomplishments, they are fitted on
ly to be wives of men in comfortable
circumstances who would support
them handsomely in the pleasant sur
rounding of well-furnished homes.
But the men of that class who
would marry a portionless girl are
not numerous, and hundreds of these
girls wear out tbeir youth ia waiting
for tbe coming man, who never ap
pears. They are something of a
burden to parents, are portioned out
amoug brothers aud married sisters,
ornament; at first but eacumbrauees
at last if tbey are uufortunte enough
tu live beyond middle life. The sit
uation of such women is certainly
pathetic, though tbe kindness that
paves the way for their marriage
may be seen 6omehat sentimental
aud' overstrained in a coqutry wbere
tbereisao much real poverty end
acute suffering that have priur and
stronger claims.
In this country there are more girls
educated above tbeir station than in
any other. But most American girls
are able to take care of themselves
after a fabiont aud are not a-batticd
to do it. Bui there U a lare and
increasing number of poor girls wbo
can barely support themselves, but
are cot able to provide themselves
with an outfit for marriage, aud the
young men they would mary are
scarcely better off. The young labor
er or mechanic wbo might support a
wife of simple tastes and industrious
habits, and bave a comfortable home
cannot easily save enough from bis
small earniugs to get the proper out
fit for married life. There are doubt
less buudreds of poor girU ia tbis
cjty w,q'Volld baye noditliculty in
being comfortably married iu thre
months if they bad a dowery larg
enough to procure a proper outfit-
And it is really a question whether
tbe furnishing of marraige dowries to
respectable pour girls is not oue uf
tne wisest irms oi pniiantDronie &0'
tioi). U Las open sa)d that the num
ber of marriages is regulated by tbt
price of bread. Tbe meal tub doubt
less has something to do with it, but
tbe price of wages is another import
aut element Social, political, and
moral influences have a powerful ef
fect in promoting or checking mar
riage. In the later periods of tbe
Roman Empire marriage nearly died
oui, ana tne iounaation tl Dome
rotted almost away in tbe qrjiversal
competition, and a tax was imposed
on bachelors and a premium given to
parents wbo reared tbe largest num
ber of children, in tbe Hrst two
centutiesof our history there were
very few bachelors acd old maids in
Ameuca, tnougn toe people were
poor and bread was high. But with
in a quarter of a ceutury the iocrese
of tbe unmarried -of ooth sexes has
been alarmingly great. Thousands
of men bave omitted marriage alto
getber from the scbcms of l'fe, and
find their satisfaction in the chance
relationships of the club and hotel,
while ami gration sweeps tbem away
to new States aud foreign countries,
leaving a vast surplus ot women tor
wboni no husbands can be found
i ne social aud moral cousequences o
this abnormal state of things are dis
asterous ana ttiey snould receive
more alteution from s'udents of so
cial science and philanthropists. But
working peoi le would rourv if tbev
could. They are hindered in Rianv
cases by nothing but poverty. Aud
ia hundreds of instances a small dow
ry given o a poor girl for a marriage
outfit would lay tbe foundation of a
Dappy home. A gret deal of social
vice comes lrom tbe inability of young
people to marry, aud tbe generosity
that provides a marriage portion to
a respectable poor girl may i-ave her
trom temptations others no little of
The prospects of such a dowery
would be a uonstant incentive to
right conduct, and would put a pre
mium on marriage wbicb would be
really better than penal lies ou vice

In order to conduct farmicr opera
tions understanding and intelligent
ly, it i3 necessary to ascertain tbe
cost of production by keeping accu
rate account, as far as possible, witb
each field in detail. To do this re
quires in the first place, an accurate
measurement of tbe different fields.
A map of tbe farm should be made,
and each field numbered, with tbe
number of acres also marked down.
A farm accoont-book should be pre
pared or purchased, in which should
be noted tbe crop produced on each
5eld,.charging to its account the la
bor required to produce the crop,
together with tbe seed, mauure, iu-
terest taxes, ic , crediting the amount
for which the produce is sold, or at its
! market value. Bv this course the
actual cost can easily be ascertained,
suowiog how aud where the profits
or losses arise, affording an excellent
guide for future operations. An ac
count should also be kept with tbe
farm, as witb an individual, on the
above basis, balancing the books at
the end of each year, and taking an
inventory of stock', farming iuiple
ments Ac., to opea correctly the ac
counts lur the succeeding year. This
method will demonstrate conclusive
ly whether farming pajs or not as
far as that person is concerned. Most
farmers are very careless about ke?p
ing any accounts whatever, eveu
with neighbors and others witb whom
thev have deuliugs, wbicb is a very
prolific source of trouble and vexa
tion, often leading to expensive law
suits;. But faruers will say tbey have no
time to atteud to such things, aud
trust to the luck and the honesty of
other people to carry tbem through.
Any merchant or other business man
wbo conducted bis affairs in such a
slipshod, slovenly manner, would
surely fail, aud certainly would not
deserve to succeed. It will require
but a few moments at tbe close of
each day to note down the account
of that day, and one year's trial of
keeping farm accounts will convince
most farmers that it is a very sensi
ble aud proper method of doiug bus
iness. I would like to hear from
others through these columns on this
Subject.
