From the Lecture cf George Idppard,
Fsq. delivered, before the William
Wirt laslituts, being the first of a
ieries on 'the Homance of the
Involution.'
Near Dwortli cmnfr, .it lb? liire ff the
(evolution, there stood a quiet cottage
somewhat retired from the road, under lh
sliidt of a stonl chestnut nee. It was n
quiet CfMiaon nestling aw-iy there in out
orncr of the hirest road, a deiir borne ii
he wilderness, with lupinu roof, walls oi
laik grey stone, and a casi mi nt hidden a-
oiniig vuus and ilnners.
O i one side, umid an inteivul of the foi
'st liees; was seen the rouh outline of
Slickimith's shop, There wai a sma'! gar
Ion in front, with a brown gravulled walk
ind beds of wild (lowers.
Here, al the ime of the Revolution. then
dwelt a Mont blackmi!i, his joung wid
and her babe. What cared that blacksmith,
vorliing away in thai shadowy nook of the
forest, for war? What feared bo for the
peril nf the lime, so long as his strong arm
ringing that hammer on the anvil, might gain
'ircjd for his wiftf and child?
Ah be eared little for war, he took little
ooie of th'i panii! that shook lha valley,
vhen so t c few mornings before the battle
if the Brandy wine, while sluicing the horse
if a Tory "fie, he overh'ard a plot fot
'he surprise and capture of Washington.
The Ameriean leader was to he bred into
i he toils of the Tonus, his penon ouce in
the n-itinli camp, th I-.iglish WtMierai
migtit send the 'Traitor Washington' burnt
to be trial ir. London
Now our blacksmith. working away there
in thai dim nook of the foient, without car-
ng for battle or war, hid still a Breaking
iindiirss for this 'lidcr Wa:!.ir'.;ton, whose
aame meg on the iips of all men. So one
nii'ht. bidding bis Vonm' wife a ba'v L'orid-
Sve, and kissinL' the babe thut reposed on
'ier boso ii, smiling as it slept, be hurried
tway to the American camp, and told hi
story to Washing'ou.
It was tnotning ere be enme back. I'
was in the dimness of he au'umnal mnrn
ine llial the blacksmith was plodding bis
way, along the forest mad. Snir.v? fe-. pa

out into the road a jrim old veteran of tlo

no sound.
For k inoiiient that farmer tiied to speak

At last forcing the blacksmith along the
Drown gravelled walk, now strewn with
cinders, he pointed to the smoking f n.beis.
Th'-re, iht re amid thai iieap of black and
smoking rem, ibe blacksmith beheld a
dark mass of burnt flesh and blackened
hoii''s.
'Yoir shrieked the farmer, us bis

And there, as the light of ibo breaking

of burned flesh and blackened bones all
that was once his wife.
