THE BOY PATRIOTS.
A REVOLUTIONARY ADVENTURE
History is filled with tho deeds of the
men of the Revolution, nor are the pa
triot women forgotten in the " burning
words" of the 0.1/ naliat. of '7G; but where
is the historian who tells of the patriot
ism of the boys of that gloomy period !
Who writes their biographies !
There were boys in the Revoletion—
bays of noble patriotism and dauntless
14pirit—novs who t would out bccome
traitors, though the rack stud gibbet
ednfronted them ; boys who toiled with
an endurance soot boldness - unequalled
in the annals of the tuition, fur the inde
pendence of the "Old Thirteen," and
had they now a just desert, the bright
est star in the American cotstellaticn,
and the widest stripe in her broad can
vass, would be dedicuited to the Loys of
'76..
Let us irlate an instance. It was in
the year 1777. Philadelphia was in the
hands of Howe and ;bis inhuman sol
diery, while the tield of Brandywine
gave the AinOriCal, people an evidence
ut British hiamauity. 'the inbabitaut
ut l'enneylvenui and Delaware were at
the mercy of , their foes. Bands of Hes
sian dragoons scoured the vicinity of
Philadelphia fur mile!' around, and com
mitted uctawhich would have disgraced
a vandal.
On the evening of a delightful au
tumn day a gronp of boys, ranging in
age front -twelve to_ seventeen years,
were gathered together un the steps of
a tenantless storuhense in the village of
Newark, Delaware.• The town seemed
lonely; with the exception of the youth
ful band referred to, not a human being
mot the eye. All the men capable of
bearing arms had left their homes to
join the ariuy of Washington on the
Schuylkill. A youth of sixteen mount.
ed on a barrel, was glviqg an account
of the disastrous battle of Brandywine.
JamelMilson, the narrator, was a bold
boy, eat,busiabtic in his loco fur the A
nierican cause, and possessed of no lit
tle intelLgence. His bright blue eyes
and flaxJa hair gave him an effeminate
appearance, but beneath that plain
homespun jacket throbbed a heart which
never quailed in danger nor shrunk be
fore any obstacle. His father was the
commander of the Delaware regnlur
troops, and his mother was dead. The
boy concluded ha narration, and was
deeply lamenting that he could not join
the army. "I am not old enough." said
he, " but bad I a musket I would not
btand idly here, with my hands hang
ing useless by my side."
"Are there no Elias of any kind in
tbo village'?" asked a listening youth,
"None. I have spent nearly a week
trying to And one, but my efforts have
been of no avail.. I strongly suspect
that old Tory, Living,ston, has several
in' his house, but as holiermits no one
to trespass on his land, I am unable to
say positively." .
"Why not take a party and search
his dwelling?' asked Frank Howard; 1
"lrehas . no one to assist him, except his 1
cowardly son George, and I can thrash
him as easy as that.," and the boy snap
ped his fingers to tmply the readiness i
with which he could trounce old Liv.
ingston's son. James Wlison's eyes
sparkled with joy.

out a morabnt's heiitation, stopped for
ward.
The boy's eyes flashed like stars.—
"Now by the dead of Bunker Hill, I
will search old Livingston's residence,
thonch death stands in my path:"
With a firm tread, and with the ut
most silence, the young heroes took up
their niaroh for old Squiro Livingston's.
Livingston had long been suspected
of harboring British spies, and nom° of
his former laborers had reported that
he kept np a regular correspondence
witlk• the British commander. At all
events, be wits generally regarded by
the gettaine Whigs as a dangerous man,
and, therefore, avoided. his house was
situated a short distance from White
clay creek, on the side of a steep bill,
surrounded on all sides. by trees. It
was just snch a place as ono might
suppose suitable for the plotting of
treason.
At the time James Wilson and hisllt
tle band loft the deserted storehourse in
the village of Newark, dusk had given
place to tho darker shades of night;
still, it was not dark. The now moon
was shining brightly in the Blonde and
every object was perfectly distinguish
able. The boys walked firmly forward,
ma'ntaining a solemn silence. At length
they gained the bank of the creek, and
slowly following the winding path, soon
came in sight of the object of their des
tination. As they came to a little log
bridge which crossed a shallow rivulet
leading into the Whiteclay, James Wil
son ordered thorn to haft,.
" Let Frank Howard and myself re
connoitre the premises first to see
whether and• danger mad• bo apprehend
ed. All the rest stand hero until we
return. MA° no noise, and keep a con
stant. watch."
James and Frank silently departed,
ar.d were soon lost to the eye in the
thick woods through which the path
ran. Staree!y had they gone from the
view of their companions, ere the quick
oar o f Wil4nn detected a noise. 44111•411"
said ho to Frank, as ho pulled hitu be
hind a glizatitie beech tree. The noise
hues resolved itself into a human foot.
fall, anti in another moment. George
Livingston, the Tory's son, stood oppo
s'te the tree. James Wilson darted
from his cover, and tightly grappled
the boy by the neck. The cowardly
youth trembled like a leaf.
Speak one word," said his eaptoi,
"and I'll toss von in the creek !"
The Tory's Pion was struck dumb with
and before he had recovered from
hit stanor, found himself in the midst
of the whole group of boy homes, with
the vice, like grip 9f James and Frank
on either arm.
"Nov," said James, "answer ma
promptly and truly, or I'll make your
position uncomfortable. Do you hear?"
'• Yes," gaspod the . affriglitod youth.
" Who are in your father's house at
this moment?"
I—i—cannot tell," stammered the
half dead boy.
Yon shall tell, or—" •
"Apure me, and !will disclose every
thing. When 1 %!t, the house there
was no one there but our own family
and—and--Major flardstone."
" Who is he r" asked James.
"I don't know, indeed I don't."
"Tell?" threatened Frank.
"Ile is the Captain of the Yorkshire
Dragoons."
The blue eyes of James gleamed with
joy, and ho soon gained from the Tory's
son &revelation which stamped his fath
er as a traitor of the most, appa lling
eh/winger. Ito diliCOvered that ol d Liv
ingston not only kept up.a correspond
ence with the 'British commander, but
that ho had so plotted in his-traitorous
designs that the little village of New
ark was to be burned to ashes, and wo
men and children Mft exposed to the
merey of a pitiless fee. The old tory
was to receive as hie reward the land
whetwapon the village stood, and an
annual pension from tho English Gov
ernmsnt.
Bet, stranger than all, the plot was
to be consummated on the very night
the Tory's non had been captured, while
he was going on an errand to a Tory
neighbor, about two miles distant. The
little band of heroes learned, too, that
the British troops had secured their
horses in Livingston's stable, and in
tended to descend the creek in a large
boat. There were twenty of them, be
sales the captain. Major Bardstone,
the leader of the band, wan in temper
and heart a thorough demon, and scru
pled not in his cruelty to destroy the
slumbering infant of the sickly wife.
Not a few in that youthful band of pa
triots trembled for the safety of a wid
owed mother or defenceless sister.—
Some were for departing immediately,
but James Wilson, still retaining his
grasp on the Tory's Boa, ordered all to
be silout.
The prisoner was tied band and foot,
s. thick handkerchief bound over his
mouth to prevent him from calling for
assistance, and a stout cord fastened to
his breast and wound about a tree. AU
hope of escape forsook George Living.
awe. Wilson motioned his little band
to follow, and in a few momenta they
stood on the summit of a high precipice
which overhang Whiteclay creek.
"New, boys," said James Wilson,
" the narrative which we have just
beard is true; and as we have no mus
kets or amanition, we mast make the
best of the occasion. The British bind
will pass this spot in their boat,-and as
we have an hoar to- work, lot ns busy
ourselves in rolling some of thoee large
rocks to the edge of . the probipice; and
when eh° red4osta pass belbw, let ea

point was not more than twenty feet
wide, and was directly overhung by the
mass of rock on which our heroes stood.
If the British band descended the creek,
they would certainly pass this spot,
and if they passed it, then death was
their certain fate. In about an hour,
the quick ear of Wilson detected the
measured beat of maflied oars :
"They are coming," he whispered;
"lot no one drop his rock until Isis% the
word, and then all at once."
It was a beautiful night to , wreak a
work of death. The heavens were
spangled with innumerable stars, and
every object which the moon beams
Ogled upon sparkled with a silvery ra•
dianee. •
Closer came the doomed royalista,and
the hearts of the beypatriota beat wild
ly in their bosoms. Peering cautiously
over the cliff, James Wilson saw the
Tory boat slowly, bat surely, approach
ing. An officer stood on the bow, guid
ing the oarsmen by his orders, and the
epaulets on his shoulders told that it
was the identical fiend, Major Bard
stone.
Don't drop till I give the order,"
again whispered Wilson.
When the boat was about twelve foot
from tho rock, the boy loador full se
curely behind bis stone defence, and
shouted. ".Who goes there 7"
In a moment the oarsmenceased row
ing, and gazed with amazement above
thorn. Tho impetus which the boat had
acquired caused it to drift slowly be
neath 'the rock, and just as it was fairly
below, forth came the doomed IA ords :
"Cut loose, in the name of liberty :"
Each boy pushed his rock at the in
stant, and with one impuhr the gigan
tic stone fell. A loud shriek from the
dark waters told how well the plan had
succeeded, and when the exultant boys
again looked over the rock nothing was
to be seen but a few pieces of floating
wood. The boat had boon burst to
pieces, and the occupants had found a
watery grave at the bottom of the White
clay. A cry of victory burst. from tho
joyous lips of the youthful patriots, and
it was echoed along the old crook in
solemn grandeur.
" Now for our prisoner :" cried Frank
'Toward, bounding ahead, but what was
the astonishmont of the boys to find
that, in the effort to free himself, George
Livingston had been caught by the fa
tal cord and choked to death. There
was no time for repining; the traitor
and his son had mot their chiserved
doom, and there was uo one to mourn
thpir loss.
" Such bo the end of America's foes
forever," said James Wilson.
Old Livingston's house was searched,
and, to the surprise of every one, not
merely guns, but three brass field pieces,
several barrels of powder, and an abun
dance of balls, etc., wore found conceal
ed in the Tory's cellar. The military
stores found there were given over to the
American troops, and found a joyous
welcome at their head quarters. Had
not the British party boon so signally
defeated along the banks of the White
clay, the. town of Newark, and the
whole northern part of the State of
Delaware would have been overrun by
predatory parties of 'British soldiers.—
James Wilson and Frank Howard join
ed the army of Green, and served with
distinction in the Southern campaigns.
Frank felt in the; memorable battle of
Eutaw Springs, bewailed by, all who
know him. Samos Wilson lost a leg at
the solo. of Yorktown, and retired to
his village, but mortification onsued,and
he expired with the ever-to-b•-remem
bored words on his lips : "Cut loose in
tho name of liberty."
The village of Newark still stands,
and has become a town of some celeb
rity. Tho scene of the defeat, by the
baud of boy patriots, is still pointed
out, and it is a sacred spot in the annals
of Newark.
Such, reader were the acts of the
boys of '76, and though they have no
monumental pile to preserve their mem
ories, they live in legend, song and
verse, where they will exist when his
tory has been swept into obscurity.
Lot our literary men redeem from
darkness the deeds of American youths,
and while they recount the noble
achievements of our rove Intionny pa
triots, let them not forget the hoy-heroes.

Late Hours.
Young men who keep late hours, be
ware! George Keist, who returned
home from a ball, at Cincinnati, about
3 A. M. and finding all the doors lock
ed, climbed upon the portico to, get in
through a window. An effort had been
made by burglars to enter the premises
a few eights previous, and his father
hearing the noise armed himself with a
revolver, and as George reached the
porch the old gentleman fired twice,
anti the youth full, saving, " My God, I
am shot!" Tho father -ran up to the
wounded burglar, as ho supposed, and
discovered, to, his horror, that it was
his -own son. Fortunately for both,
George was not. hart as badly as ho
thought, having received only a slight
wound. •

bud, till it was bag opened, and then it
was plucked in the early morning, all
fresh and dome i!, and placed in waiter
ready for school-time.
When she returned from school a
cloud rested upon her usually sunny
face; and upon inquiring its cause, she
cried as though her little heart would
break. "You know my beautiful rose.
Well, leupposelhe teacher didn't want
it. She had a whole vase fall of flow
ers, bat none of them half so sweet as
tLat ; and when I carried it to her, she
just laid it on tier desk, and didn't look
at it once, und, said, 'Take your aeai,
Carrie."'

Carrie," and eiailcd upon the child and

Thompson, of Atlanta, a generous good
man, and a tip-top landlord and wit;
but ha certainlk caught it once.
A traveler called very late for break
fast; the meal ;was hurriedly prepared.
Thompson feeling that the " feed " was
not gait° up tothe mark, made all sorts
of apologies all around the eater, who
worked on in silence, never raising his
head beyond athrmative influence of his
fork, br by an act acknowledging even
the presence of mine host. This sulky
demeanor rattier "dead" the doctor,
who, changinohe range of his battery,
stuck his thumbs in his vest arm-boles,
expanded his chest by robbing the room
Of half its air and said :
"Now, /Cesar, dod darn me if I hain't
made, all the apology necessary, and
more too, considering the breakfast and
who gets it; sod now, I tell you, I have
seen dirtier, worse looking, and a sight
smaller breakfasts thin this, several
times."
The weary, hungry one, meekly laid
down his tools, swallowed the bite in
transitn, placed the palms of his hands
together, and .modestly looking up at
the vend and fuming landlard, shot
him dead with the following words :
"Is--what—;-you---4‘ay—truif"
"Yes, sir,"l came. .with vindictive
promptness.
" Well, ther4 TT be d—d, hoes, if you

Webster Matched by a Woman.
In the somewhat farrows case of Mrs.
Bodgen's will, which was tried in the
Supreme Court some year ago, Mr.
Websterappearing Ks counsellor for the
appellant, Mrs. Greenough, wife of Rev.
William Greenough, bite of West New
ton, a tall; straight, queenly looking
woman, with a keen black eyo—a wo
man of great self-possession and decision
of character. was called to the stand as
a witness on the opposite able, from Mr.
Webster. Webster, at a glance, had
the sagacity to foresee that her testi
mony, if it contained anything of im
portance, would have great weight up
on the court and jury. He therefore
resolved, if possible, to break her up.—q-
Mai whim she answered to the first
question put, to her,. " I believe," Web
ster roared out :-
" We don't want to hear whdt yon
believe; we want to hear what you
know."
Mrs. Greennngh replied, "That is just
what.l was about to say,sir," and went
on with her testimony.
And notwithstanding his repeated ef
forts to disconcert her, she pursued the
oven tenor of her way, until 'Webster,
becoming quite fearful of the result,
arose apparently in great agitation, and
drawing out his largo snuff box, thrust
his thumb and finger to the very bot
tom, and carrying the deep pinch to
his nostrils, drew it up with a gusto;
and then extracting from his pocket
a very large handkerchief, which flow
ed to his feet as he brought it to the
front, be blew bid HOSO with a report
that rang distinct and loud through the
crowded hall.
Webster—" Mrs. Greenough, was
Mrs. Bodgen a neat woman r '
3trs. Greenough—" I cannot give yon
very full information as to that, sir ; but
she had one-very dirty trick."
Webster—" What's that, ma'am?"
Mrs. Greenough—" She took snuff!"
The roar of the court-house was such
that the future defender of the CJnsti
tution subsided and neither rose nor
spoke again until Mrs. Greenough had
vacated her chair for another witness—
having ample time to reflect upon 'the
inglonotis history of the man who had
• stone thrown on his head by a woman.

present at an exhibition of animals in

happened to be just behind Crockett,
and tapped Davy's shoulder. Turning
around Davy very formally remark

Senator Douglas on Disorignirens.—
Senator Douglas, in ono of his recent
speeches, thus emphatically condemns
the disorganizing 4)eraocrats who, in
the late elections, lent their votes to
the so-called " People's party,"" to aid
in delimiting 'the regular candidates of
the Democracy :
• " Such of them (his opponen ts) mare
Democrats, and show their Democracy
by remaining inside the Democratic or
ganisation, and supporting its riomi-

those who, knowing they would be
voted down inside the Democratic or

Democrats."

under which the verdict was given." •
In nearly all the ordinary Mali of
misdemeanors, the costa are tbiAnnet
serious item in the finding of.thidery.
l ln fact, they constitute the prineipill
part of the penalty. Imprisonment is
I .r . arely inflicted by the Court, in itsputi

be found guilty, a verdict whiohm*es
L
the costs of prosecution with it, eel. o
Ibe acquitted but ordered to pay Ito
t,
costs, amount nearly to tho stunell4g;
and indeed in most instances, the ee
-1 ttutl result' ieprocisely the same. To
declare a man not guilty upon the evi
dence as presented to the jury, oefti*.r.-
ly means that, in the eye of the law, ho
- did not commit the offence with which
he stands indicted; and if such be' the
case, Why shoUld be ho punished b?tho
infliction of a penalty, which tir 0 - 61 4 , iii
reality, be no greater if ho were found
guilty by the jury ? But it is sakithse
in some cases, while the ovidenoisiesnot
strong enough to conviot, it let:o4lu%
character as to leave an impreetA9A.rup
ou the minds of the jury that diode-
Joadant night be guilty, and, theleft:Fo,
ho should be made to pay the cogs.—
This reasoning is in direct opposition to
the settled principle of law, winch al
ways gives the benefit of the Jkill bl, to
the accused. If the testimony be not
conclusive as to the guilt of the defen ?
dant, he has a right to an .ho p rittal;
and, in such an event, it isit Ifitble
absurdity to impose upon him the - bar
then of the costs. Common seitig And

should be cured—and the only way to
correct the seeming evil is to change
