As she spoke, an old man of venera

sestet.' himself near by. He was one
of those mdbuments of oltlyn time, thal.
the eye loves to dwell upon—one of
those rare siglits in our alays, a hale,
hearty old man. Iliac locks, that tell
loosely adown his neck, were bleached
with the fr 04111% of some eighty winters
and his brow bore the impress of time's
iron hand. His checks, though, some
what wrinklod, were still ruddy, and
his dear grey eyes yet sparkled with
She buoyancy of youthful vivacity.—
Ilk dress consisted of a coat of black,
cut in thb fashion of seventy-six; bree
ches and silk hose; a capacious w aist
coat of butt; easy shoes and silver buck
les.
.Besides whit 11, like a true gentle
man qf - the old school," he woresa
frilleillbosom to his shirt, and runlet'
wristbands, fastened with a plain but
ton of solid ,old. It needed not, in
deed, it second glance to pronoimee hiin
a bralich of the revolutionary stock.
In answer to his grand-daughter, he
said:

gone forth to add his mite in aid of the

horse, awl rode into town. as was his
daily custom, to hear the latest news.
It was noon when he started tram

Carleton left Lis horse, lived on the

Chesnut street. Accordingly, he struck
iuto that strict—it hall a different ap
pearance then to what it. has sow—and
proceeded along, gazing at whatever
caught his filmy, until at length he
found "liniself approaching the State
House. The first Congress was then
assembled there„ and it was no tmnsual
thing to sec groups of citizens stand
ing near and about it, oonversing
upon the subject then uppermost in
livery mind, namely-, the war; but as he
drew near he now saw, not b little knots,
but actually a condensed crowd, assem

eager curiosity ands.anxiety, and every

act, he felt a warm tear drop upon his

weeping.

"'God bless you !' and — the old man,
grasping his hand, and pressing it warm
lv, turned silently away and joined the,
troops.
"The particulars of the battle of
Princeton I-need not describe; with
them you are all no doubt acquainted.
The result was a fortunate one for
America, for it infused fresh vigor into
tie dispirited patriots; and made them
to, put ft•th new exertions in the glori
ous cause. I say It was fortunate, al
though many brave hearts beat their
last upon that ensangnined field; par
ticularly two bravo _officers, General
Alereer rued Colonel Ilaslett—two As
brave and gallant soldiers as ever wore
helmets or wielded swords. Like Wash-,
ington, they were in the thickest of the
fray, leading their gal'Aftit troops to
'victory or death !'—i)e.te, be to their
Lilies, and rest to their souls!
"In the fight that. night, C l harle.
Carleton aeted a goodly part. Many-as
Briton fell by the old musket—by its
unerring ball, or its sturdy butt. He
fought with the coolness and bravery of
1 the veteran soldier. Side ty side with
the old sergeant, ho contested the for
tunes of the field, and.many a time did
his friendly arm interpose to save the
old men's. But at length, Nihili tt hotly
bengaged with several athletic Britons,
the bayonet of a focman entered WA
friend's heart, and he fell a bloody, life
less corpse upon the sward_l.4o6 him.

The Wrath of Washington.
Ananecdote I deriviN from Colonel
Lear shortly before his death in 1416,
may bore he relAted, Showing the height
to which Washington's passion would
rise, yet be controlled. It belongs to
his domestie life which I am dealing
with, having occurred oinder his own
roof, whilst it marks public feeling the
most intense, and points to the moral of
his life. I giv'e it in Colonel Lear's
words as near as I can, having made a
note of them at the time :
Towards the close of a lvinter's day
in 1791, an officer in uniform was seen
dismount in front of the President's, in
Philadelphia: and, giving time bridle to
his servant, knocked at the door of his
mansion. Learning from • the pbrter
that the President \Orb at dinner, he
said ho was on puhlie bu-hiess and had
dispatches for the President. A servant
,ii
was sent i to the dining-room to give
the inform: tion to 3ir. Loar, who left
the table a went into the hall where
the officer epeated what he hail said.
Mr. Lear replied that, as the President's
Secretary, he would take charge of the
dispatches, and deliver them at the
proper time. The offices made answer
that he had just arrived from the west
ern army, and his orders were to deliver
theni with all pxopptitude, and to the
President in person; hut that he would
wait his directions. Mr. Lear •return
ed, and in a whisper imparted to the
President what had passed. General
Washington rose from the table, and
went to the officer. T
T
....e was back i n a
short time, made a word of apology for
his absence, but no allusion to the cause
of IL Ile had company that day.—
Everything went on as usnal. Dinner
over, the gentlemen passed to the draw
ing-room of Mrs. Washington, which
was open in the evening. The General
spoke courtiamsly to every lady in the
room, as was his custom. Ills hours were
early, and by ten o'eloek all the com
pany had gone. ?firs. Washington add Mr.
Mr. Lear remained. Soon Mrs. Wash
ington left the room.
l'hl General now walked backward
and forward for some minutes Without
speaking. Then he sat down on a sofa
by the fire, telling Mr. Lear to sit down.
lio this moment thve had been no
change in his manner since his interrup
tion at the table,. Mr. Lear now per
ceived emotion. This rising in him, he
broke out suddenly, "It's all over—St.
Clair's defeated—routed •, the officers
neorly all killed, the men by wholesale ;
the rout. complete—too shocking. to
think of—and asurprise in thabargain!"
Ile uttered all this with great vehem
ence. Then he paused, got up from the
sofa and walked about the room leverul
times, agitated, but saying nothing.—
'l•tettril le door he stoppod short and stood
still a few seconds ; when his wr,ith be
came terrible.
ho barst forth; u s ITERE on this
very spot, I took leave of him ; I wished
him success and honor; you have your
instructions, I said, froni the Secretary
of War, I had a strict eye to them, and
will add bnt one word—TO:WADS. OF A
SURPRISE. I repeat it, RIMARE OF
A SUIZPRISE—vu know how the In
drawl tight us. ITe went off with that
as Inv lasticolemn warning, thrown into
his ears. And yet !! to suffer that army
to be cut to pieces, Masked by a surprise
—the very thing I guarded him against !
Oh, - God, oh, God, he's worse than a
murderer !Bow can he answer 14„La his
country ;—the lilood of the slaiiii upon
him—the canitti c 'of widows and orphans
—the eorse of Heaven !"
This torrent came wit in tones appall
ing. his very frame shook. It was
awful, said Mr. Lear. More than once
he throw his hands up as he hurled im
precations upon St.. Clair. Mr. Lear
remained speechless; awed into bryath
/e4s silunce. s
The roused' ell icf sat down on the sofa
once more. lie seemed cunscious , of his
passion and uncomfortable. Ile was
silent. Ilis wrath began to subdue, he
at length said altered voice "This
must not go beyond this room." Anoth
er pause followed—a longer one—whea
he said in along quite low, "General St.
Clair bhall have justice i-I . loolted hastily
through the dispatches, saw the whole
disaster, but not' all the particulars; I
will receive him without displeasure; I
will hear him without prejudice ; be shall
hail, full justice."
He was now, said Mr. Lear, perfectly
calm. Half an hour had gone by. The
storm was over; and no sign alit was af
,terwards seen lush's conduct or beard in
his conversation. The result is known.
The whole case was investigated by
(engross. St. Clair was exculpated and

command. Be had pat himself into the
