REBECCA, THE DRUMMER.
A BTORT OF THE WAR OF 1812.
It was about nine o'clock in the
morning when the ship first appeared.
At once there was the greatest excite
ment in the village. It wag a British
war ship. . What would she do?
Would she tack about the bay to pick
up stray coasters as prizes, or would
slio land soldiers to burn the town f In
either event there would be trouble
enough.
Those were sad days, those old war
times in 18l2. The sight of a British
war ship in Boston Bay was not pleas
ant. We were poor then, and had no
monitors to go out and sink tbeedetny
or drive him ofT. Our nary was small
and, though we afterward had th vic
tory and sent tho troublesome ships
away, never Co return, at that time
they often oamerneaf enough, and the
food people in the village of Scituate
1 arbor were in great distress over the
strange ship that had appeared iu the
mouth of the harbor.
It was a fishing place in those days,
and the harbor was full of smacks and
boats of all kinds. The soldiers could
easily enter the harbor and burn up
everything and no one could prevent
them. There were men enough to
make a good fight, but they were poor
ly armed and bad nothing but fowling
pieces and shot-guns, while thesoldieis
had muskets aDd caution.
The tide was down during tho morn
ing, so that there was no danger for a
few hours; and all the people went
out on the cliffs and beaches to watch
the ship aud see what would happen
nest.
On the end of a low sandy spit that
makes one side of tho harbor stood
the little, white tower known as Scit
uate Light. In the house, behind the
Jight, lived the keeper's family consist
ing of himsolf, wife and several boys
and girls. At the time the ship ap
peared the keeper was away, and there
was no. one at home, save Mrs. Bates,
the eldest daughter, Rebecca, about
fourteen years old, two of the little
boys, and' a young girl named Sarah
Winsor, who was visiting Rebecca.
Rebecca had been tho first to discov
er the Bhip, while she .was up in the
light-house tower polishing the reflec
tor. She at once descended tho steep
stairs and sent off the littlo boys
to the' village to g've tho alarm.
For an hour or two the ship tucked
and stood off to sea, and then tacked
again aud made for the shore. Men,
women and children watched her with
anxious interest. Then tho tide turn
ed and begun to flow into the harbor.
The boats, aground on the flats, float
ed, and those in deep water swung
around at their moorings. Now the
soldiers would probably laud. If the
people meant to save anything it was
ti mo to be stirring. Boats were hasti
ly put out from the wharf, and such
clothing, nets aud other valuables as
could be handled were brought ashore,
loaded into hay carts aud carried
away.
It was of no use to resist. The sol
diers of course, were well armed, and
if the peoplo made a stand among the
houses that would not prevent the en
emy from destroying the shipping.
About two o'clock the tido reached
tho high water mark, and, to the dis
may of the people, the ship let go her
anchor, swung her yards round, and
lay quiet about halt a mile from the
first c I nr. They were going to land to
burn the town. With their glasses
the people could bco the boats lowered
to take the soldiers ashore.
Ah! then there was confusion and
uproar. Every horso'in the village was
put into some kind of team, and the
women aud children hurried oft' to the
woods behind the town. The men
would stay and offer as brave a resist
ance as possible. Their guns were
light and poor, but they could use the
old fish houses as a fort, and perhaps
make a brave fight of it. If worse
came to worse, they could at least re
treat and take to the shelter of the
woods.
It was a splendid sight. Five large
boats, manned by sailors, and filled
with soldiers in gay red coats. How
their guns glittered in the sunl Tlie
oars all moved together in regular or
der, aud the oflicers in their fine uni
forms stood up to direct the expedi
tion. It was a courageous company
como with a war ship aud cannon to
fight helpless fishermen.
So Iiebocca Bates and Sarah Winsor
thought, as they sut up In the light
house tower looking down on the pro
cession of boats as it went past the
point and entered the harbor,
"Oh ! if I wera only a man !" cried
Rebecca.
"What would you do? See what a
lot of tlieru ; and look ut their guns !"
"I don't care. I'd fight. I'd use
father's old shot-gun-anything. Think
of uuclo's rew boat ar.d the sloop !"
"Yes; and all the boats."
"It's too bad ; isn't it ?"
"Yes, and to thiuk we must sit here
and see it all and not lift a finger to
help."
"Dou you think there will be a
fight?"
"I don't know. Undo and father
are in tho village, and they will do all
they can."
j "See how still it is in town. There's
pot a man to be seen."
"Oh, they are hiding till the soldiers
;et nearer. Then we will hear the
i hots and the drum."
"The drum I How can they? It's
lere. Father brought it home to mend
t last night." , ,
"Did he? Oh, then let's"
"See the first boat has reached the
sloop. 0hl obi 'They are going to
bum her."
- "Isn't it mean ?"
"It's oo bad ! too "
"WheVe's that drum?"
"It's in tho kitchen."
"I've a treat mind to go down and
boat it."
"What gbod would that do?"
"Scare Vra."
"They'd tee it was only two girls,
aud they wluld laugh and go on burn
ing just thejsamo."
"No. Wk could hide behind the
sand hills land the bushes. Come
lei's-"
"Oh, look 1 look ! The sloop's afire I"
"Come, I cjin't stay and seo it any
more. The cowardly Britishers, to
burn the boati! Why don't they go
up to the towiiand fight like "
"Come, let's Vet the drum. It'll do
no harm; and jorhaps "
"Well, let's. There's the fife, too,
we might take ttat with us."
"Yes; and we'll "
No time for further talk. Down
the steep stairs of the tower rushed
these two young patriots, bent on do
ing what they could for their country.
They burst into the kitchen like a
whilwind, with rosy cheeks and flying
hair. Mrs. Bates sat sorrowfully gaz
ing out of the window at tho scene of
destruction going on in the harbor and
praying for her country, and that the
dreadful war might soon be over. She
could not help. Son and husband
were shouldering their poor old guns
in the town, and there was nothing to
do but wait and pray.
Not so the two girls. They meant
to do something, and in a fever of ex
citement they got the drum and took
the fife from the bureau drawer. Mrs.
Bates, intent on the scene outside, did
not heed thcraf and they slipped out by
the back door unnoticed.
The.y must be careful or the soldiers
would see them. They went round
back of tjie house to the north and to
ward the outside beach, and then turn
ed and plowed through the deep sand
just above high water-mark. They
must keep out of sight of the boats,
and of the ship also. Luckily, she
was anchored to the south of the light;
and as the beach curved to tho west
they soon left her out of sight. Then,
they took to the water side, and with
the drum between them ran as fast as
they could toward tho main land.
Presently they reached the low heaps
of sand that showed where the spit
joined the fields and woods.
I anting aud excited, they tightened
up tlio drum and tried the fife Boftly.
"You take the fife and I'll drum."
"All right; but we mustn't stand
still. We must march along the shore
toward the light."
"Won't they see ue ?"
"No; we'll. walk next tho water on
the ootside beach."
"Oh, yes ; and they'll think it's sol
diers going down to tho-Poiut to head
'em off."
"Just so. Como, begin! One, two
one, two!"
Drum! Drum!! Drum!!!
"For'ard -march!"
"Ha! Ha!"
The fife stopped.
"Don't Inugh. You'll spoil every
thing, and I can't pucker my lips."
Drum! Drum!! Drum!!!
Soucak ! Squeak ! 1 Squeak ! ! !
The i ue ii iu town heard it and were
amazed beyond measure. Had the
soldiers arrived from Boston? What
did it mean? Who wero coming?
Louder and louder on the breeze
came the roll of a sturdy drum and
the souud of a brave fife. The sol
diers in tho boats heard the noise and
paused in their work of destruction.
The officers ordered everybody into
the boats in the greatest of haste. The
people were risiug!They were coming
down tho point with cauuons to head
them ofi'! They would all be captured
snd porhups hung by the dreadful
Americans!
How the drum rolled! The fife
changed its tune. It played "Yankee
Doodle" that Lorrid time! Hark I
the men were cheering in tho town ;
there were thousands of them in the
woods along the shore !
In grim silence marched tho two
girls plodding over sharp stiues,
splashing through the puddles Rebec
ca beating the old drum with might
and main, Sarah blowiug the Cf-J with
shrill detcrmiuation.
How the Britishers scrambled into
their boats! One of the biave officers
was nearly left behind on the burning
sloop. Another fell overboard and
wet his good clothes, in his haste to
escape from tho American army march
ing down the beach a thousand strong I
No fancy rowing now, but desperate
haste to get out of the place aud es
cape to the ship.
How the people yelled and cheered
on the shore I h ity men or more jump
ed into boats to prepare for the chase.
Ringing shots began to crack over the
water.
Louder and louder rolled the terri
ble 'rum. Sharp and clear rang out
the cruel fifo. .
Nearly exhausted, half dead with fa
tigue, tho- girls toiled on tearful,
laughing, reiiu? . to drop on the wet
sand, and riill beating and blowing
with fiery couisife.
Tho boats swept swiftly out of the
harbor on iho outgoing tide. The fish
ermen came up with the burning
boats. Part stopped to put outrtbe
fires and tho rest pursued the flying
enemy with such shots as they could
get at them, in tho midst of it all
the sun went down.
Tho red-coats did not return a shot.
They expected every moment to see a
thousand men open on them ut short
range from the beach, and they reserv
ed their powder.
Out ot the harbor they went in con
fusion and dismay. The ship weighed
auchor and ran iut her big guns, but
did not firo a shot. Darkness fell
down on the scene as tho boat reached
tho ship. Then she seat a round shot
toward the light. It fell short, and
threw a large fountain of white water
iuto the air.
The girls saw it, and, dropping their
drum and fifo sat down on the beach
and laughed till they cried. That
night tho ship sailed away. The great
American army of two had arrived.and
they thought it wise to retreat in time.
Rebecca is still living, old and feo

strong iu patriotism. She told this
story herself to the writer, aud it is
true.
A WIFE'H WAHCASJI.
Hannah Jane Wood writes from
Rcyuoldsvillo to the Watkins (N. Y.)
Express iu regard to a card which re
cently appeared in that paper, repre
senting her as having left her hus
band's bed nud and board, and warn
ing the people not to trust her on that
bereaved gentleman's account. Han
nah says :
"First, ns to the bod, wo had none
except the one my father gave me, and
upon which I have allowed him to
lodge his poor drunken, worthless car
cass already quite too long ; aud as to
board, he has not furnished enough for
tho last two years to pay for his salt.
He talk of board ! why, the children
have always assisted me in buying
bread to keep his poor soul and drunk
en body together. He caution people
not to trust me ! It would have been
more fitting that I should have posted
him ; but. that would have been super
fluous, as no one who knows him would
have trusted him, or possibly we could
have kept the family together longer
than we did.
"One thing and only one in his
publication is true, and that is that I
nave left tho miserable man. When,
by the use of whisky, tho once Milton
Wood transformed himself iuto every
thing contemptible and vulgar, forget
ting every pledge of earlier life tor
getting his obligations to me aud his
children forgetting himself, and at
last forgetting (Jod, and still, not sated
with havoc, he pursues me with the
malevttlcnco of a drunken fiend
leave him I did. Oh, liquor! How
many homes liast thou mauo desolato?
How many broken hearted wives and
homeless children hast thou cast upon
tho cold charities of an unfeeling
world ? Oh, thou mighty transformer of
intellectual man iuto everything dev
ilish! But I am trespassing too much
upon your space, and will close, wish
ing Mr. Wood all the health, happi
ness end comfort lie can expect to flow
from his drunken carcass."
It Milton Wood is not now extin
guished he certainly has given to tho
world what was the matter of Hannah.
For a scathing and eloquent exposi
tion of the sufferings of a drunkard's
wife, Hannah Jaue's advertisement

roOI.EY'H C'ONrNDKl-JI.
Coolcy's memory is exceedingly
trencherons, and it often gets" him into
trouble. The other night he was at a
tea parly at Smith's and while tho
party sat around the suppor table,
Cortley suddenly concluded he could
eject a conundrum he hnd heard some
where, aud so in an interval of sifeuce,
he said :
"I'vfi cot a pretty srood conundrum
I'd fike to have you guess. Can any
body tell me why a druggist w ho keeps
his bottles down stairs is like a certain
kind of musician ?"
Everybody at once began to guess
tho answer, and finy . lirrn fiiri
moment, smiling. Presently, however,
ho thuiight he would get tho answer
ready In ordi r to give it, and to his
iutenso alarm found he had forgotten
it.
He began to foel warm. He thought
the subject over with all his might,
and ho nearly had tho answer several
times, but it always eluded him. Then
he became warmer, and tho perspi
ration began to stand out upon his
forehead.
The company gave it up one after
the other, and as they did so each ono
asked Cooley what the answer was.
Cooley smiled a phastly kind of a
smile, as if he was keeping it back to
torment them ; but the singular red
ness of his face and his peculiar be
havior attracted the attention of eve
rybody, and the more they looked at
him the redder he got and the more
profuse became the perspiration.
"Come, Mr. Cooley," said the host,
"wo are all waiting for the answer."
"Out with it, Cooley," said another.
"Cooley, we can't bo happy until wo
have the answer to that conuundrum,"
remarked a third.
Coclcy would have given millions
at that moment to have been hidden
in the bowels of the Mammoth Cave,
out of sight. At lust he exclaimed :
"The-ah-tho-ah-fact is, that ah-tho
afTuir-that is the conundrum-thn whole
thing, your honor, is a joke. There is
no answer to it, your honor."
Then everybody said they didn't see
anything very amusing about jokes of
such a character, aud.Smith frowned,
while Cooley heard the man next him
say to his neighbor that tho man (Coo
ley) must be drunk.
Then Cooley rose suddenly from the
table, and bolted out through tho
frontdoor.
About two hours afterward, while ho
was in bed, he all at once remembered
the answer, and he instantly arose and
went to Smith's. After ritiging the
door-bell for half an hour, old Smith
put his head out of the window.
"I know it now !" shouted Cooley
"I k.now it! It's because he has avial-in-cellar."
"Go to thunder!" ejaculated Smith,
as he shut tho window with a slam and
went buck to bed.
And now the Cooley's don't speak
to the Smith's, and old Cooley carries
the answers to his conundrums written
on his shirt-cuffs when he goes into
company, so as be certain that he will
have them when they are wanted.
Don't ask the Lord to keep your

Don't linger where your "love liess

to get breakfast.
Don't turn up your nose at light
things. Thiuk of bread and taxa
tion. Don't insult a poor man. His mus
cles may be well developed.
Don't put on airs in your new
clothes. Remember that your tailor is
suffering.
Don't stand still and point the way
to heaven. Spiritual guide boards save

Don't ask your pastor to preach

Don't fret. Tho world will move ou
