The intervening period from . the com mencement of the year 1776 to the close of '7S, was an eventful time for the infant lie public.—They had declared their indepen dence, had thrown of the yoke of Britain, and the time had now arrived, when, in the words of a patriot. "it was time to be seen whether America had virtue enough to be fret-, or not." The year of '7S was particu larly distinguished by the evacation of Phil adelphia by the British, by several brilliant engagements in the "tented field," which shed an undying lustre upon the American arms, and for the multifarious bands of pre datory ruffians who infested the forests in the vicinity of New York, Philadelphia, and the 'neutral grounds.' Ihey were compo sed of renegade tories and villiatis of all de scriptions, principally native Americans,— They were fierce and cruel ; savage alike in their manner of living, and, indeed, very fying the assertion of the poet, that , Ile who loves not Ins country, can love nothing., It was a balmy morning•iu June ; the sun .shone with intense brilliancy, and its burn ing rays reflected upon some of the armor of a solitary equestrian, %% Ito was winding his way from West Chester to Philadelphia. [lie horse might have seen better days, as • well as himself—both appeared jaded and worn with . toil. The former was a large black and noble looking animal ;• the man gre appearance of his ribs, which stood out in bold relief, •bore testimony ample" of his meagre and litre. His rider was a man whose demeanor stamped him at once as one of the 'brave sons of liberty.' A certain ex, pression about the mouth, the bold and fear less glance of a black eye, and the noble contour of his form, spoke of him as the bra vest of the brave, when deeds of danger were nigh. his holsters coniatned a pair of pistols, which were the only arms Visible. A military coat rather worn, a rough forag ing cap, completed his warlike accoutre ments. An air of determined bravery was blendeded witjt a humorish expression which lingered about his visage, and upon all this •Middle age Had slightly passed his signet sage," "By Jove," exclaimed he, "here is old Baker's they told me of at Chester;" and spurring his Rosinante, he soon dismounted at the door of miserable inn, and giving his noble beast into the care of an attend:int, Le made his way into the interor of the dwel ling, landlord Was alone. Our adventu rer knew lrim for a staunch Whig, and ;;reeled him cordially. • "Well, Baker," raid he, "i:3 there any news stirring f" 4None of coos,, i mmees, r—are you ap ing to the city ?" "Yes,—what is the distance ?" "About five miles to go the direct road, hut—but—" "Bat why, pray I" "Why, the ,Cow Boys' are as thick as blackberries—a band of twenty robbed two men yesterday, and only on Monday there was a man murdered out-right." Ile stepped to the window and mused anxiously. "Baker," observed he, at last, "I have been told you are honest, and I doubt not. My name is Burton, and.l. am a paymaster in the army,- and with me I have several thousand dollars. To go through the forest you speak of as I am now, were an act of consummate folly. Can you rig mc•with a poor horse and countryman's dress, with a wig and Quaker hat? "Yes, Major, I have the very things. If you'll come this way I'll show you." In a few minutes Major Burton returned, having undergone a complete metamorpho sis. A. pair - of hotne spun breeches, drab coat and broad brimmed beaver had super seded his military equipage, every trace of which had disappeared, and his soldier-like bearing had giving place to, the &inure and quite deportment of the honest Quaker. EMI NUMBER 36. Albeit his bold eye flashed occasionally from under the br6ad brim of his upper integu ment, and sadly belied the staid and suffer ing disposition which it became him to as sume. The money was carefully deposited in a pair of saddle bags, which were thrown across the saddle, and Major Burton moun ted. "Good morning, Baker," .said Burtott "take good care of my beast." "I will," shouted the worthy landlord i , "and luck be with ye." The Major rode on in silence, and thtep communed with himself this is indeed making a virtue of necessity, to be compel led to ride this sorry jade. Tt wasa transformation, with a vengeance, and no one would there have recognized any but the honest Quaker. Ile had pro ceeded into the forest about a mile and was turning a short angle in the road when he was commanded in a stentorian voice to stand. But two men were near him, and these two were_as villainous looking beings as one would wish to look upon. Squalid wretchedness was depicted upon every fea ture, and in a voice rendered hollow by ev ery misery, they demanded his money. "A las, my dear friends," said our worthy Quaker, "I have but little, which I stow upon thee, if thou demand it. gni friend (to the one that held the bridle) re= lease my beast and fear not that I shiM tempt to escape thee. Why doss thou pnr-,- sue this course, ruining both body and that immortal part which dieth not ? I would have thee cleave unto some calling—and if ye will imbrue thy hands in the blood of thy fellow man,_join the forces of your countty tebd—" "Look here," shouted one of them, "yeti infernal canting hypocrite, stop your preach ing." The Quaker fumbled first in one pocket and then in the other; and producing some change, he handed it out to them in silence. They eyed the paltry sum with looks in which shame and wrath struggled for mas tery. "Three fips mid four coppers !" mumbled one, glancing at the Quaker, who , slit com placently and composed.on his horse. "Three fips and four coppers ! d—n you, begone !" and bestowing two or three kicks upon the old horse, which merely started him on a gallop, they dashed through the „tangled waste of Underwood," and were soon bevond the ken of the "honest Qua ker," alla Major Burton of the Continents' army. Ile sobered his animal into a pa tient trot; more becoming his garb, and "whistling as he went for want of thought," he soon entered the city in safety, and with his comrades imams had many a hearty laugh on his adventure with the Low Boys. Pennsylvania Legislatute. The newspapers, says an exchange, give the following report of the proceedings of he Pennsylvania Legislature, on a recent occasion: The apportionment bill being before the House, a certain honorable member, whO rejoices in the name bf Guffey—a man just fitted to "fill the trump of fame"—rose td spealr. "Go it, Guffey !" interrupted one mem ber, and the speaker rapped his haMmer, . "Little John Cessna," continued Mr Guff v, "is like a bubble on the water 77 .it swims a while making a great fuss, and then it "ust "Good for Gulley ! hit him again I" vcon eilerated a representative. "Order, order !" cried another. . • "Little John," indignantly continued Mr. Gulley, "Little John says I went against the corcus, but I would like to tell Little John that Mr. Lard, my friend, made the motion. and: that I voted against it. I have little faith, gentlemen, in the Democrqey of any man who was elected by fifteen votes, na Was Little John! •But who cares for him? I don't ! Ile is like an old cow what has lost her calf—When she bawls the loudest she soonest forgets !" This may be deemed witty and amusing. but it is more appropriate to the bar-room than to a legislative hall. Two Things at Once.—"l say Paddy," said a philosopher, "can you do two things at the same time. "Can't I !" answered Paddy, "I'll be do that any day !" "How ?" inquired the philosopher. • • "Why," replied Paddy, be sleeping are dreaming at theSaine time, don't you see t So none o' your gammon for a spoony." rir ,, You "want a fogging, thlit's 'hat you want," said a parent td his unrul3i son. • know it, dad, try to get along without it," said the independent brat.
