CLARA LELAND,
THE TORY'S DEFEAT.
By "cnowQuILL."
"Your excellency, Dave Watson and his
Tory gang have burned Mr. Leland's dwel
ling, add carried himself and family away as
captives !"
Such were the startling words of a rough
uncouth countryman, as he rushed past the
sentinel stationed at the entrance ; 4nto the
private apartment of General Putnum, who
at, the time was in command of •a portion of
the - American army. .
- The per - son who had made so unceremoni
ous an entrance, had evidently come in the
greatest of haSte, as. the perspiration was
streaming profusely from him, and his breath
ing seemed short and difficult. Drawing a
and well. worn cotton handkerchief
from his pocket, he proceeded to wipe off the
enormous 'quantity of sweat that had . collect
ed upon his face, and this done he seated him
self in a chair standing.near. - At his words . ,
the person Whom: he addressed leaped to his
feet, and in a voice that attested the interest
he took in what was being related,
:
"Dave 'MI son again !: Ntlheri did - this take
place ''
"LaEit night, sir." .•
"And you offered no resistance ?"
• "We did, biit the villains were too numer
ous for us ; Parker. 'myself, and a

our sketch
I 7'l
Erelong the sentinel re-entered the room
followed by a young man of about twenty
five years of age. His 'features were regu
lar in their outline, and would, convey to the
stranger's mind an.idea of the nobleness of
nature which their _owner possessed. He
was dressed in the uniform of the Am - erican
officer, and as he entered, he bowed_ respect
fully to his superior in command, and remov
ing his hat, stood awaiting the pleasure of
his General.
"Lieutenant Milton,' I have a mission for
yoti to execute, and if report is to be,creclit
ed, you will not find it an unpleasant one.. I
have just learned from our friend here, that
the notorious tory leader, Dave Watson, has
been executing some of his cowardly work
upon the person and property of a man whom,
if I mistake not, you would be anxious to
shield from harm. According to the state
ment, Watson with about' fifty of his gang,
proceeded to . the dwelling of Mr. Leland, fi
red the house and carried the old gentleman
with his wife and daughter away to some of
their secret hidings. Now, what I wish of
you, is to rescue our old friend, even if you
follow this fiend in human shape to the end
of the earth. Now Ido not doubt your skill
in this matter, but be cautious, for one false
step might ruin all. .Choose any number of
men you may need, and proceed upon your
work as soon as you please."
The young Lieutenant's features paled
quickly as the startling words fell upon his
ear, and turning to the messenger, who was
looking on with a puzzled air, he exclaimed:
"Did you notice the direction the part)
took ?"
"Yes sir, to the northward, towalds the
OM
"They should have been followed."
"That was impossible, as they were mount
ed on the best of steeds, while we Were on
foot."
It did net take long for our hero to arrange
his plan; and with a speed that showed him
to be no novice in the matter he had under
taken; he had about thirty picked men well
armed and mounted ready for the pursuit.
"How many did you say there were of
them ?" questioned Ralph Milton of his
stranger guide.
"Oh I never mind the small difference in
number r broke in an old trooper.—" One
good I.vhig is a match for six tories, make the
best of them.';
And with a light laugh at the old soldier's
Jest, the. party moved' towards the spot desig
nated by the messenger. And while the lit
tle band. of-patriots are on their mission of
kindness, we will speak of a' matter, which
the reader has as yet had' but an occasional
Richard Leland was a gentleman rather past
the prime of life; but by years of toil, he
had secured a home for himself and family,
and was hoping to pass the. remainder of his
life - in comparative ease, since be had laid by
phperty sufficient to live without being obli
ged to labor for.his main tainance. In the be
ginning of the tro•ible between the mother
country and the colonies, he had readily es
poused the cause of the patriots, and although
his advaaced age would deter him fr om
do
ing as efficient service for his country as oth
crs of his co-laborers; . he was at heart friend
ly with the colonistsand many a time had
a patriot fugitive, fleeing . from the King's
soldiers, Sought a refuge beneath the friendly
roof of the Leland's .and thus succeeded in
eluding their pursuers, for never in one in
stance were they tracked to their retreat.
Mr; Leland's household consisted of his
Wife, and an only daughter. A. lovely crea
ture was Clara Leland.!Hust eighteen—it
would be hard to find a more fitting subject
for the artist's pencil, Jet
,blaCk curls fal
ling gracefully over a neck of •snowy white
ness, rosy cheeks,.and an eye that looked ro
guishly from beneath their silken lashes, ad,
ded to the finely' proportioned form; made her
beauty, of the most perfect order. She had .
been the pet of an indulgent mother, and was
perfectly adored by a doting father; and al
though always had - her own way - • her affec,
tion for her parents' was as Strong as that of
any datightee in the land. .
She had become acquainted with a couple,
of yoUng men, one named Ralph Milton, and
the other David ,Watson: Binh' were good
looking,- and belonged to the : first..families in
the neighborhood ; but . here all similarity in
the two. ceased.—Ralph Milton was a_ picture
of liableness itself—generous-Aearted;_frank;
and manly *in• disposition—he was beloved
by his friends, and,could - not but be - respect-
ed by an _enemy, While David . Watson : was
exactly the opposites; cf naturally a coWard

the house of' Leland,' , and - although his
com - pany eciuld . easily have been dispensed

disposition had not: had . the opporOniti3Of
showing; itself.—But' when the difir cultip
between his own people and -Great Britain
arbae, it gave free scope for his cowardly na
ture. : .
- He collected together a number of lawless
:characters, for the avowed- purpose of' help
ing tb 'quell' the rebellion *lnch was showing
itSelf indifferent parts' of. the colonies, but
this was only Upreteit to cloak his real ob
jects, for soon the naine of the't.,M:y:leader,
"David,Watson," became . learfully,notorious,
_and he,vias known, to be one of the most cr'-u
-el desperadoes that ever:disgraded a Country,
•or made the least tiretenSions to htimanity.
He had hoped to keep his r proceedings from
the Leland family, since he did not wish to
be disgraced in the eyes' of -Clara ; but fear
ful that time might not add anything to be
desired to his character, he determined to
bring matters to an end, by making an offer
-of his hand to Miss Leland ; and with this
purilcise in view, he directed his steps tow
ard the sturdy old whip's home."
His call for admittance was - answered by
Clara herself, and he was invited to come in,
an invitation that he was not loth to accept.
Everything was arranged_ as he would have
desired ; Mr. Leland was - engaged in out-of
doors work, and Mrs. Leland Was busily em
ployed in another room. After quite a num
ber of bow's, and other like demonstrations of
"great pleasure in seeing Miss Leland in the
enjoyment of good hezith," he took the prof
fered chair and commenced—
"Miss Leland, I came here for the pur
pose of honoring you with an offer of my
heart ; hand and fortune, without the least re,
serve."
When Watson commenced speaking, Clara
was intending to give him a mild, but deci
ded refusal; when he came to the last clause,
the comicality of the thing caused a smile to
appear upon - her features which she could
not conceal from the eyes of the other.
"Miss Leland is. pleased to be merry at
my expense I" exclaimed he, endeavoring to
suppress the . chagrin he felt. " And as my
company does not seem to be agreeable, 1
will take my leave, but not without assuring
:you that I shall make another call soon.
"Do so, by all_ means !" returned Clara
who thought he had intended exactly the re
verse from what he said, and. only expressed
his anger in some harmless manner. Of
course we shall always be pleased to see
you !"
. With a curse of disappointment upon his
lips, Watson seized his hat 'and rushed frond
the house, vowing within himself to repay
the cruel insult he had received. And he ful
filled his vow to the letter, for as has always
been told, he, with a number of his associ
ates surrounded the house of Mr. Leland after
the family had retired, put fire to it, and as.
fast as their victims came from out of the
doomed dwelling,_ they prevented -them from
leaving the spot until they should become
aware that their once happy home was past
being sr.ved. After their work was finished
the incendiaries mounted their horses and
guided them northward, and ere long, the
last one of the aili;alcade was hidden from
view by the dense forest.
We left Ralph Milton and his party moving
rapidly in the direction to which tlie tory
gang had been seen to go. Net a word or
sound. passed the lips of the little band cf
whigs, and their horses needed no extra ur
ging, for they hardly seemecL to:touch the
oTound,,and skiinmed ' over the-.smooth sur-
face, at a speed which' testified their knowl
edge of the fact that ''everything depended
upon their own strongo limbs.
"'Should you think that we are coming'
near them?" questioned our hero of the hen- .
est countryman, who was riding by his side.
It would be hard saying," returned The
other.. If they had any suspicion of being
followed, they . have • probably' traveled at a
pretty good speed-; Una- They cannot be far
from us."
"List I" spoke the young leader in a low
deep voiCe ; ' " Heard you not distant
tramp of horsemen I"
Each man bent his ear, , and 'remained si
lent for some time; when the low_ rumbling
sound of horses hoofs reached the ears of the
listening patriot band.'
" It's :them !" exclaimed 'Wilton in a low
hurried tope: Let each:man secrete himself;
it-will not do to rrieetthezn on equal grounds
with 'ihe'disparity of.oui• numbeis=we must
let ihem pass by, and . then overpower them

any of your assistance !" retorted the other
in•an angry. tone. But he had hardly fin
ished his not very courteously reply, when the
group were startled by a vivid sheet of blue,
fta: . - - nes, appearing from every- side, which in
st'intly- followed by the 'report of a score of
well'-aimed rifles.
Hurra for the Continental Congress! • Give
them•fits !" burst from a'dozen: brave hearts
and before the bewildered 'Tories could recov
er from the first shock of the attack, they
found themselves roughly grappled by a de
termined body of men, which the death deal
ing rifles had rendered nearly their equals in
number.
But such a contest could not last long, for
it was almost an • impossibility for the attack
led party, taken as they were entirely off
their guard, to make anything like a sugcess
• futstand against the furions charge of their
assailants and soon, more than half their
numbers were fleeing through the forest
seeking protection of the overhanging boughs
of the trees.
•• But the tory leader had seen and recogni
zed Ralph Milton,. and knowing him to be
his successful rival, determined to have a
sweet; revenge for the fancied insult upon his
'honor, and with his weapon raised high above
- his head, he made a pass for' the other's heart.
he had recoiled without his host, for- he
tad: not stood before' his adversary many mo
ments, ere the young patriot leader's steel
was buried to the hilt in his already disgra-
Ced heart.
The contest was now decided; for the few
tories who had until now remained to assist
theifleader, seeing him fall ; quickly follow
ed the example of their fellows and soon put
a safe distance between, themselves and their
victorious enemies. The attack ending thus
favorably to the victor's, search was commen
ced, for the Tory Captain's, prisoners. It did
not take long to find them, and ere long;
Ralph Milton, Mr. and Mrs. Leland and their
tlathter, followed by the uninjured party of
Arneficans, were moving - away from the
scene of the recent conflict ; leaving the rem
nant of the defeated band to come back and
care for their friends.
Clara Leland was sitting by a window,
in her father's house, a new one having been
erected upon nearly the same site of the one
before, when the door opened, and a young
man dressed in the costume of an American
ofFicer; entered. He advanced rather timidly
towards her, and seating himself by her side,
and taking her hand within his, said:
Dear Clara, now that the war has ended,
when shall the happy day be that,is to unite
us In
The maiden blushed deeply, but her an
swer was not sufficiently distinct to reach
our ears.' Suffice it to say, though that with
in a feW months from the • turtle the above
cohversation occurred,. there were quite a
number of guests 'assembled at'-the • house of
Mr.--Leland, and Clara Leland was wedded to
the man of her choice. •

.It seems to me that all times are alike
adapted for happiness, and that if we grow
old, as one'should grow old,' the last days of
life must be the happiest of all. Every
stage of life is but the preparation for the
next one. It is the treasure-houseln which
are collected -all the pleasures - that are to
make the future tithe happy. The child has
indeed but few troubles, but they are as
great to him as. larger ones prove to his pa-'
rents. I asked - a. friend once, speaking of
the happy, cloudles.s days,of MS childhood,
if he would like to , be always a'child. He
stopped for a moment, and then - said; No.—
I think 'he was fight. There is progress in
every, thing—in our means of happiness, and
in our capacity for enjoyment. Then let
us not look - back upon the time-wrinkled
feee of the Past "only with_ feelings of regret:
Give me the present flowing . and hall,of life

is the steep and rugged

which resort to dead. and decayed limbs of

to its side, and cover and conceal the arrow
that is praying on its vitals, so it is the na-:
tore of ,woman ,to hide from the world the
pangs of :wounded affection. ' With her the
desire of the heart has failed. The great
charms of existence is at an end. She neg r
lects all the cheerful exercises that gladdens
the spirits, quickens the pulses, and -snds .
the tide of life in healthful currents through:
the veins. ser,rest is broken, the sveet re
freshment of sleep is poisoned by melancho
ly dreams, "dry sorrows drink her blood,"
until her enfeebled frame sinks under the last
external assailant. Look for her after a
while, and you find friendship weeping over
an untimely'grave and wondering that one,
who but lately glowed with the .radiance'of
health and beauty, shpuld now.: bp brought
down to "darkness and the • Worm." You
will be told of some wintry chill, some slight
indisposition that laid her low, but no one
knows the mental malady that. previously.
sapped her strength, and made her so easy a,
prey to the spoiler.
