in in II thick :wood. not more than, half It
mile from the Schuylk|l|,tltere stood. in
the time ol the Revolution. a quaint old
fabric, built of mingled logs and clone, and
encircled by] palinaded wall. It had been
erected In the enrltor days of Wm. Penn
—perh:pe some years before the great a
pestle ol pence first trod our shores T-as a
block house. intended lor delence against
the Indiana.
”And now it atood with its many root‘r,
itaLnurne‘rous chimneys, its massive square
window. ita varihus front of logs and l
atone. its encircling wall, through which ‘
admittance wan gained by a large and
iatoutly built gate; it stood in the midst of
the wood. with age-worn trees enclosing
ita veteran outline on every side.
From its eastern window you might ob
tain a glimpse of tho Schuylkill waves.
while a large casement in the southern
trout commanded a view ot the winding
road, as it sunk out of View. under the
Shade 0! thickly clustered houghs. into a
deep hollow. not more than one hundred
yards from the mansion.
Here. from theysoathern calement. on
one of thoae balmy aummer days which
look in upon the dreary autumn. toward
the close at November, a farmer’s daugh
ter was gazing with dilating’eyu and half
clasped hands.
Well might ahe gaze earnestly to the
mouth, and listen with painfnl intensity
(or the sligtest sound! Her brothers
were away tth the army of Washington.
and her lather, a grim old veteran, he
stood six (eat and three inches in his
stockings—who had manilested his love
for the red coat invaders, in many a des.
perate contest. had that morning left her
alone in thouold mansion, alone in this
Imall chamber, in charge of some ammu
nition intended for a band of brave larmera
about to join the host of freedom. Even
as she stood there, gazing out of a south
ern window, a faint glimpse at sun-light,
lrotn the faded leaves above. pouring over
her mild lace, shaded by clustering brown
hair; there. not ten paces trom her side,
were seven loaded rifles and a keg of pow
der. ' ‘
Leaning [mm the casement. the listen
ed. with every nerve quivering with sus
pense, m the Ih'o‘uls of combutanle, lhe
hurried trend of armed men echoing from
the south.
There was something very beautiful in
that picture! The torm of the young gill,
turned by the square massive window. the
contrast between the rough timbers the?”
enclosed her. and that rounded lace, the
lips parting, the hazel eye dilating. and
the cheek warming and flushing. with ltope
and'fenr. there was something very beau
tiful in that picture, a young girl leaning
from‘the window 0! an old mansion, with
her brown hair, waving in glossy masses
around her face. .
' Suddenly the shouts to the south grew
nearer-and then, emerging from the deep
hollow. there came an old man, running
at full. speed. yet, every low paces, turn
ing round to fire the rifle. which he loaded
on he ran. He was pursued by a party ol
ten or more British soldiers. who came
rushing on, their baynnota fixed. as it to
strike their victim down. ere he advanced
ten paces nearer the house;
On nnd‘on the old man came, while his
daughter, quivering with suspense. hung
leaning lrotn the window :—ho reaches the
block-house gate—look! He in surroun

he in down. down at their feet, grappling
for his lile! hbut look again l He dashes

options through the gate; an instant. and i
it is locked; the, British soldiers. mad
with rage, gaze upon the high wall of logs
and stone, and vent their anger to drunk

' Now look to yonder window l Where
the young girl stood a moment ago. quiv

that‘old‘man hrmaell, his brow-bored. his

Look downfilhere. nnd pee ahand steal-
Ing over the edge of the wall! The old
man level: his piece—lhnt Brilish trooper
falls back with a Clllluhed hand upon his
comralles’ heads.
No longer quivering with suspense. but
grown suddenly firm. that young girl pau
ea in loaded rifle to the veteran's grasp.
and silently awaits the result.
For a moment all is silent below ; the
llritish bravoes are somewhat looth to try
that wall, when a stout old ' Rebel.’ rifle

"are is n pauseulow, deep murmuta—

A moment is gone. and nine heads are

grovelling in tlte";~;t‘litd, beneath the shade
ow of the wall!
' Quick Bess. the rifles.’
And the brave girl passes the rifles to
her father's group ;.there are tour shots.
one after the other; three more soldiers
fell back, like weights of lead upon the
ground, and a single red coat is seen,
slowly mounting to the top ol the wall, his
eye fixed upon the hull door, which he
will lorce, ere a moment is gone. . .
Now the last ball is fired ; the old man
stands there in that second story window,
his hsnds vainly grasping for another lon
ded lifle. Al this moment, the wounded
and dying band below,are joined byn
party of same twenty refugees who, clad
in their halftobber uniform. came rushing
‘ from the woods. and, with one bound, are
leaping for the summit of the wall,
; ‘ Quick, Bess, my rifle!’
And look there—even while the veto
ran atood looking out upon his foes, the
brave girl—Jar. alender in form, and Wild
ly beautiful in face. lhe is a bravo girl. a
Hero Woman—had managed, as if by in
atinctive impulse, to load a rifle. She
handed it to her father. and loaded anoth
er and another! Wasn’t that a beautiful
night? A lair )oung girl. grasping powder
and ball, with the ramrod rising and tall
ing in her slender fingerl.
Now look down tothe wall again. . The
relugeea are clambering over its summit
——again that fatal aim—again a horrid cry,
and another wounded man toppling down
upon his dead and dying comrades!
But now look ! A smoke rises there;
a fire blazes up around the wall; they
have fired the gate. A moment. and the
bolt and the luck will be burnt froniita
socket—the passage will be free. Now
is the fiery moment of the old man’s trial.
“'hile‘hia brave daughter loads, he con
tinuea to fire, with that deadly aim, but
now, oh horror! He frills. he falls, with
a musket ball driven into his breast—the
daughter’s outstretched arms receive the
father, as. with the blood spouting from
the wound, he topples back lrom the win:

That old man. writhing there on the
oaken floor. the young daughter bending
over him. the light from the window strea
ming over her lace, over her father’s gray
hairs, while the ancient furniture at the
small chamber affords a dim back ground
to the scene.
Now hark! The sound of axes :it the
hall door—shoots. hurrus. curses.
‘ We have the old rebel at last‘l’
The old man raised his head at that
sound; makes an eflort to rise; clutches
tor a rifle, and then falls back again. his
eyes glaring, as the fierce pain of that
wound quivers through his heart.
Now watch the movements ol that
daughter. Silently she loads a rille. si.
lently she tests its barrel against the head
of that powder keg, and than placing her
finger on the trigger. stands over her fath
er’s form, while the shouts of the enraged
soldiers come thundering from the stairs.
Yes, they have broken the hall door to
fragments; they are in possession of the
block-house. they are rushing toward that
chamber. with murder in their hearts. and
in their glaringeyes! Had the old man a
thousand lives the) were not wortha far
thing’s purchase now. "
Still that girl-ogrown suddenly white
as the ’kerchief round‘ her neck—Fatands
there. trembling from head to foot. the ri
fle in her hand, its dark tube laid against
the powder keg.
The door is burst open—look there !
Stoot forms are in the doorway. with mus
kete in .their hands. grim faces. stained
with blood. Flare'into the room.
Now. asi her vely soul was coined in-
lace pale as ashee. her hazel eye glaring
with deathly light utters thin short yet
noaning speech—- ' ' ' ,
‘Advnncc une'atep into the room. and

Look l—As those trembling accents fall
from the old man's tongue those fingers
unloose their hold of the rifle—already the
troopers are secure at one victim at least;
a young and beautiful girl ; for affection
for her father is mastering the heroism ot
the moment—look! She is about to spring
“into his arms! But now she sees her dan
ger—again she clutches the rifle : again——
although her father’s dying accents are in
her ears—stands there, prepared to scatter
that house in ruins, it a single rough hand
ussnils that veteran form.
There are a few brief terrible moments
of suspense. Then a hurried sound far
down the mansion ; then a contest on the
stairs; then the echo of rifle shot and the
light of rifle blaie—then these ruflisns in
the doorway fall crushed before the strong
arm of Continental soldiers. Then a
wild shriek quivers through the room, and
that young girl--that Hero woman, with
one bound springs forward into her broth
ers arms. and nestles there, while her
dead fulher——his form yet warm—lays
with fixed eye balls, upon the floor.
SERVING A SUBPtEN/t; on Love 1).! Law.
—lt is singular what shilts love will make
to accomplish his objects. Bolts, gates.
and bars are of little avail against Cupid’s
plcltloclt contrivances—hia cunning will
devise ways and means to open them all.
A young gentleman had courted a lair la
dy 0! this city, and it was supposed the
No. in due time, would become ‘one flesh.’
Some little quarrel, of a trivial nature, as
lover’s quarrels generally are. occurred.
Neither would confess the wrong to be on.
their side—presents and correspondence
were mutually sent back—and the match
was broken all. The young gentleman
immediately started [or New Orleans. to
enter into commercial business, thinking
that distance would lesson the attachment
he really lelt for the youag lady. “‘2
When a woman is injured, or thinks she
is injured. by the one she loves, she is
more apt than the male sex to ' bite all her
own nose,’ as the saying is, to inflict pain
and be revenged on the ollending object.
A gentleman that the young lady once re
jected renewed his proposals, and was ac
cepted within a week after her old lover
had embarked lur the south. 0n reaching
New Orleans he found that distance, in
stead ol weakening his attachment. only
made the lady dearer. aml he became me
lancholy and low spirited. The first let
ter he received from New York lrom a
lriend of his. announced that his old flame
was to be. shortly married to another.—
His course was quickly taken—the next
morning saw him on board a packet ship
bound lor Gotham. ‘
The passage unlortunately was lung.
and the poor lellow chaled and trotted so
much that the passengers began to think
him deranged or else a fugitive escaping
from justice. The instant the vessel touch
ed the wharl he darted for the office ofhis
friend the lawyer. It is to be supposed
the latter was much surprised to see his
triend, imagining him a couple of thousand
miles away. After the usual salutation
he exclaimed—-
‘My dear follow you are jult in time to
9:9th wedding. Miss -——, your old
sweetheart. is to be married thio mornini
at 11 o’clock. To tell you the truth,
don’t believe there is much love about it.‘
and that the girl really thinlu more at one
hair of your head than the fortunate bride
groom’s whole body.’
'Good God! Where in she to be mar
ried—in church P’
‘ No. At her father’s house.’-
' My dear fellow—l—l—ycs—no—yes.
[have it. Have you any case coming on
in either of the'bnurls at ll o'clock?
' Yes.'
t Then fill me ,o subpoena with the bride -
groom's name. Don’t stop to ask any
questions. It matters not whether he
knows any thing about the parties in the
suit. By heavens. Julia shall be mine 2’
. His friend saw his object at once, and
promised to Carry on the matter. The sub
poena was made out and placed in the
hands at a clerk to serve upon tho'unsus
pectin: bridegroom the instant he wns
seen to leave his residence. and was des
pntched in a cab to watch the houses-
About ten minutes before eleven. us the
soon to be happy man was about entering
a coach before the door of his residence,
h.B was served with the subpoena.
, ' Cnn’! help it.’ said the clerk.~ in‘reply
mhis gealiculating nbmu' knot kuowib‘g
the partwa,’ ‘ goipg to be married,’ 81c.“—
' We shan'l'rench the "all now before 11
",-—lhe,cu'so is the first on’ the‘ calendar-4‘
won’t kccp‘yol bu! “(on minutes. "If‘you'
don’t go, heavy line. imprisonment for
contempt,’ 81.0.. &c.
The bridegroom, who was rathervofa
timid nature, finally consented. particu
larly as the clerk promised to send a friend
ol his who sat in the cab, wrapped up in a
large cloak. to the house of his bride in
expectation. explaining the reasons of his
absence. The. reader can Imagine who
this person was. ' .
Eleven o’clock came. but still no bride
groom. The guests were staring at each
other—the priest began to grow impatient
—and the bride that was to be. looked
pale and agitated. when a carriage drove
up. the bell rang. and ‘ There he is!’
‘ There he is!’ muttered many voices. A
gentleman did indeed enter, whose appea
rance created almost as much astonish
ment as that of Edgar Rwenswood in the
hall of Ashton Castle, at. the marriage ol
Lacy Ashton in Scott's ‘ Bride ol Lam
mermoor.’ The lady fainted—private ex
planations ensued between her parents
and the lovers-and the renal! was. that
in ten minutes after the two real lovers
twerejoined in the sacred bonds of matri
mony, much to the satisfaction of all.
The bridegroom that was to have been,
alter’wards made his appearance, pulling
and blowing. What he said and what he
did, on beholding his rival. & being made
acquainted with the condition ofaflairs,
was really tragi-comical.
The story of the lubpmnn shortly alter
leaked out, and has created so much a
musement. that the poor tellow declares
he will sue the lawyer fur slo,ooo’damtr
ges, in aubpmnair.g him as a witness in a
case of which he knew nothing, and by
which he lost a wife. It will be a nmel
suit indeed, it he should do so.
