miles froth Philadelphia, had been fixed Upon
by : Washington for the winter quarters of the
'Americans, whericthey experienced hardships
unparalleled in the annals of war Their way
might have been traced thither, history tells
us,-by a track of blood from their . feet, - which
' they left in marching without shoes or stock
. ings over the frozen ground between White
marsh and Valley Forgo. All the circumstan
,ces of this distressing-campaign,are too deeply
graven on the heart of .every freematrto need

At this time the situation of the, inhabitants.'

ington was heart rending in the extremei
Subject as they were to the daily, nay, hourly
abuse of the British, insult upon insult heaped
upon them, not only by de soldiers, but by
the olgcers themselves, and forced td obey the
tyrant of an hour, they could do nothing to
redress themselves—but were 15bliged to sub
mit, laying up their wrath for a future day of
retribution, which; hoppily, was net far off.
To obtain even the necesaries of life, Alley
were obliged to go to Bristol, a distance of
about twenty miles -from Philadelphia, and
they had not only to gn that distance, but even
such-a- privilege was denied them unless a pass
was procured from Sir William„for British
sentinels lied been placed nt small intervals
along the road t rendering it next to impossible
to reach the Mills et Bristol without one.

ted bonds, shaking tho country to its very
cenfic and scattering the mjrmidons of proud
and tyrannical kings front the land of the

of luxury, Washington at Valley Forgo, borne
down by privations, weakened hy -fatigue and
hunger, nay, almost by famine, wai• plotting I
the means which ended in driving them from
our shores, and raising the star spangled

A poor woman of the 'name of Copley, with
a family of tnall childrui, suffering more in

through which she had forced her way, her
resolution began to fail, but as the thoughts
of Lome flanked acronsh'er mind, she redoubled
her energy to reach some human. Jinni:, were
it nothing more than the enemy's guard house.
. Thus she toiled until night set in, when-not
only her courage but her strength began to
fail her. Vie agonizing mother now only
looked for , soma tresysto aseend, thinking it
better to pans the night upon the limbs, than
the frozen ground. She tried to climb several,
but was so benumbed with ,cold,,and faint
with fatigue nud hunger, that her feeble limbs
refused to aid her. At, length she found one,
rising but little frilLthe ground, and in n
horizontal direetion,Mtich seemed to afford a
resting place, and by' an exertion which ro'-
quired all her strength; she succeeded.An'
reaching where limbs so crossed each other n's
to
-give a transient renting place to the weary
traveller.
The horrors of that eight to her, who thus
I in the middle of cold winter lied left her home,
and woo now Alone in.the depths .of the forest,
can better be conceived than described.—
Afraid to sleep, lest she ;Lould go to sleep re
wake no more, or should lose her hold on tho
limbs and fall to,the ground, when she must
evidently perish. Almost frozen with the in
tense cold—rubbing her limbs with one hand,
and clasping the ley branches with the other,
she sat ruminating on the difficulties she had
yet to contend with. At times her resolution
would seem to leave her, but the chilling
winds through the leafless trees would remind
her of the voices Of her liftlo sufferers at
home, which was enough to raise tha spirits
of the faithful mother, even in this dreadful
hour of peril and trial.
It would be fruitless to narrate-the feelings
of the doubly distressed mother through this
long and dreary !tight. With what rapture
did'she hail the glimmerings of light in the
eastern horizon! Never was the light of day
more 'welcome to the released inmates of a
1 dungeon, than was the first ray of the sun of
that-eventful morning, and yet it rose. but to
witness new boreor and suffering. The heroic
mother supported with the hope of giving food
once more 'to her little ones, kept on her toil
some Way, After suffering almost incredible
I horror's, which she bore with magnanimity
I far above that of a Spartan mother, she at last
reached the Mill. She could only articulate
food! food I my babes !"Ind sunk exhausted
and almost lifeless at the miller's feet.
By the kind aid of the miller's wife, she
was brought from her. exhausted .state into
something ,like—life. Long before she 'bad
gained the least strength, did she try to_get
away from - her. detainers„ but ..theY krlq-Vit?G
she Would never roach home in suth a condi.
Bon. would not suffer her to undertake the
journey: 'She staid some days With the kind
family, but at last they yielded to her repeated
solicitations, and permitted her to set out.
After filling a bog with flour, for which the
miller would receive no remuneration, she
commenced her return:
Ninny now remember the six Dowelis, or as
they were commonly' called the Donles, who
about the time we are writing; began to he
distinguished by their heroic bravery. They
were a hardy brotherhood, not ono of them
less than six feet high, "strong of limb and
swift of foot."
They lived entirely by plunder, but never .
plunderCd Americans. Extremely partial to
them, they.did all iu their power. to weaken
the British, and. if their secret deeds could be
brought to light, no doubt many a Harvey
Birch could be foudd among them. The ex
ploitS of those men were of such a nature ds
not to fail to become the talk of both (amid—
danger seemed never to enter their imagina
tions—total strangers to fear—and their only
apparent object wits plunder from Sir William's
troops, though sufficient evidence hod been
obtained that under this cover they secretly
did the Americans more good than many of
that day were willing to believe. But they so
managed it as to be high inthe confidence of
the leaders of both armies. At one time they
would lie in the heart of Philadelphia dressed
in the British costume, and inJulging in all
the luxuries of that place, doubtless with some
end in view, which could not be discovered . by
their demeanor; at another time they would
bo suffering the privations of the American
camp, and yielding assistance to the army at
Valley Forge.
They did not live together, but.were scat
tered over tho'country, though they evidently
noted in concert, and had some fixed plan or
method by which they regulated their nations.
The almost dying Mrs. Copley commenced ,
hor journey with tbo additional encumbrance
of a beg_or flour, and was returning with a
comparatively light heart to her home. Horne
how did she redouble her speed and strain
every nerve at the thought ~of thi3 happy fa..,'

lay between her and that loved . place—she
had yet many difficulties to encounter, which
would have appalled a stouter heart than hers,
but urged on by such motives, sho t could not
be Otherwise than heroic. She had pooled in
her usual manner the guard at Nrankfert, and
hod hardly gained tjip highway, when a tall,
native man, sprang frbm the „bushes into the
road before her. She had frequently hoard

home by a crackling fire, watching the baking
bread, and looking with dilight uphn the smil

grateful reflections, without_thinking of the
road, she had nearly arrived at Tine street,
when the cry of " Halt" broke upon her call
in tones which banished every pleasing dream
from her mind, and make the blood 'run chilly
through her veins. She Sterteil-and almost
overcome with fear, found henelf in the cus
tody of a British sentinel. •. •

trly generosity that ,you nro not sent to:the
guard house,"
The poor woman said-nethini i -fOr she-knew
anything she could say would not avall'her,
the thoughts of helplessness, crowded dark and
heavy through her mind. : • -
After encountering so many privaticinp and
hardships to gain thialittle store for her'fatni-,
ly, to havajt thus wrested from bar by a bru
tal soldier, without one eifertt'on 'Ler rittri,to

about to eierr herself to gain -, Something from
the :retreating ruffian, when the benevolent
Deals came out of the wood to her aid. Her
hopes were again - raised—but his whole demea
nor seemed changed; for the tiff stately Donle
was now substituted the sloping form and
averted face of an humble supplicant.' With
an appearance of humiliating meekness ho op- ,
preached the soldier with hesitating stepsand
begged of • to return the flour:,to the wo
man, offering to pay Lim the price of it if ho
would • •
Fool !" .oxelahned the sentinel, " what
business have you to interfere? Off, or you
shall pay the price of your temerity l"
The Deale's eye lighted up with a momenta
ry expression of fierceness, but nips instantly
quelled, and ho repeated his request, offering
to pay double the price of thellour, if ho would
return it.
lldve a carelow you. speak to me, yonder
is the,guard house; and with ono word I can
bring the whole guard upon you," replied he,
apparently feeling something like fear, as the
Doale began to raise himself, and exhibit his
personal strength:
no.again urged him to return the flour,.tel
ling him of the privati‘ns she had suffered,
and of her•distress at-home.
" Tho'devil take the distress and you too,"
muttered be, do you a pnitry rebel, pretend
to bandy words with qg, a-loyal subject of his
majesty? Off,` ~ or I will seize you as - a spy."
ThoDeale sloWly raised himself to his full
height apparently unable to.quell the 'tising
spirit within him. Ms oyes flew, like light

"Now by the hopes of freedom, hod by my

It was with some • incredulity that we road
`the notice of the protracted'Bleep of Cornelius
Vroman, of Western Now York, but all doubts
of the reality of thoiSlumber have been dis
pelled by a sight of 11r. Vroman, who is now
in this village.
Woman was born in Schoharie count}; Now
York, in 1810. Ho was a farm laborer, re
markable for strength, steadiness, "and endu
rance, always commanding higher wages than
ordinary workman. __There . was nothing par—
'flouter about his general ,hobite, other than
his preference for light food in, Small quanti
ties to the hearty fare of the farmer. In 1848
in aenesee 'county, a deep sleep fell upon him
without premonition, and he has slumbered
ever since, with very brief and rare waking
moments, not amounting in all to threo.days.
The longest waking period he -has bad was
sixteen hours, and this was brought about by
medical treatment, butstimulants and forced
exorcise in the open air, and all other resorts,
failed in this as at other waltenings, in pro Ve
nting a.speedy return to stupor. • .
Vroman.is now a more skeleton; though his
face is not mush emaciated. - Ho breathes
deeply. and freely, perspires copiously, and
seems in a natural and ordinary slumber. Ile
lies Invariably onlis left side, his limbs bent,.
this being plainly the easiest posture. Ills
muscles aro rigid; so much so ,that he main
tains any attitude in which he Is put, and ho
has stood seventy-two .bourn in ono fixed pos
ition. His Jaws are set, and his' teeth arc,
pried open daily to feed him on milk, a quart
of which a day, with a little broad crumbled
in it, is his principal food.,,„He has not-eaten

VOLUME Llll. NO 52,
CONJUGATING DUTCHMAN.
Two English gentlemen onoo stopped into a .
coffee house, in,Paris, where thay observed a
tall odd to eking roan, who appeared not to bo
a native, sitting at ono end of tho table, and
looking around with the most stone=like grav
ity of countenance upon every subjeot. Soon
after the two Englishmen entered, ono of then
told the other that a certain dwarf had arrived
at Paris. At this the grave-looking personoge
above mentioned °period his monttrand epnke:
arrive,' said he,' 'thou arrivest, Oli
ves, we arrive, you arrive, they arrive.'
The Englishman whose remark seemed to
have suggaited this mysterious speech, Etep
po4 up, and said,
Did you speak to ma sir ?'
I speak,' replied-the stranger, 'thou speak- - .
est, ho speahs, wo speak, you speak, they
speak,'
g how is this ?' said tho. VnglishmOn.
•
you moan to insult me ?' .
The other replied ; insult, thou insultost, -
he insults, we insult,'you insult, they insult.'
This is too much,' said the , , Englishman.
I will have. satisfaction. If you have Tiny
spirit with your rudeness, come with me.'
To this defiance the imperturbable stranger
replied .
•J come, thou contest, ho comes, we come,
you come, they come.' And theroupowite a
rose with gteat , coolness and followed his ()hal
lenger. .
In those days when every gentleman wore , a
sword; duels wore speedily despatched. They
went into a neighboring alley, and the English
man unsheathing his sword, said to leis antag-
onist ;
. Now sir you must fight me.'
The other" replied, drawing his sword; , r• -
'fight, thou lightest; he fights, We fight,' (here '
ho made a thrust,) 'you fight, they 7 fight,' and
here ho disarmed his adversary. .

I am satisfied,' said the original, 'thou art
satisfied, he is satisfied; we aro satisfied, l .yon
aro satisfied, they are satisfied. '

Englishman, but pray leave off quizzing me
in this strange mannor, and tell me what is
your object; if you have any object in doing
so?''
Tho grave gentleman now foi the first' time
became intelligible. ,
I am a Dutchman,' said he, •and am learn

tutor has advised mo, in order to fix them in

have told you of this before,'
The Englishman' laughed heartily at this ex
planation and in6ited the conjugating Mit*
man 'to dine with them,.
'I will dine,' replied he, thou wilt dine, he
will dine, we Will dine, you will dine, they will

LOVE-MAKING IN OLDEN TEDEB.—In the his- •
tory -of -the --Troubadours---are--very-long-and-- ,
curious directions for making love. In the
reign of Elizabeth, the following practices pre
vailed Playing with the little -finger in •
amorous dalliance; sitting or l i ning at the feet
of their mistress hiballrooms; looking sugar
plums in' their oyes, as they called gazing
'oloselland amorously in . each other's eyes.-L.
They also exhibited their passion publicly.— ,

A pendent lock of hair, often plaited and tied
with ribbon, and hanging at the ear, was so
fashionable iii tho ago of Shakspeare, and af
terwards, that Charles I, and many ,of his -
courtiers wore them. T4lis look was worn on
the left side, and hung down by the'shoulder,
considerably louger.than the rest of , the hair,_
sometimes'evenito the girdle. L. It was suppos
ed to have the - effect of viblent. lovo, and was
originally a French custom: Wigs worn mride
to imitato it. Burton adds to. the lovolook a
flowor.worn In the ear. Kissing•the eye was
a mark of extraordinary tondernees- In the
fore part of the stays wore anciently poelte v t i s,_ '
whore women carried love letters and . token;
money and materials for needle-work. When
prominent stays were worn, lovers dropped tho
literary favors into them. If a woman put s- a
love-letter into the bosom pocket, it we's a to
ken of her affection.' Willow garlands were
worn by persons diSappointed love,-suppos
ed from the tree's promoting ohastity, or tho
famous passage in - the Psalms. The liberties
