Upon his gallant crest.
lie looked upon his people,
And a tear wAs in Lis °yet
He looked upon the traitors,
And his glance was stern and high.
Bight graciously he smiled on us,
As rolled from sing to wing,
Sri all our line, in deafening shout,
" God save our lord, the king."
" And If my standard bearer fall,
As fall full well he may—
Now, God be praised, the day is ours!

Add flags, and cloven mail ;
And then we thought on vengeance,
And rill along our van,
" Remember St. Bartholomew,"
Was passed from man to man ;
But out spoke gentle Henry,
" Nn Froncbman is my foe;
Down, down with < ivory foreigner;
But let your brethren go."

Weep, weep, and rend your hair for those
Who never shall return.
Ho! Philip, send, for charity,
Thy Mexican pistoleg,

For thy poor spearmen's mule! -

Look that your arms ho bright!

Of music and the dance,
Through thy corn fields green, end sunny wises t ,
Oh pleasant hind of France!
And thou, Rochelle, our own Rochelle,
Proud'elty of the waters,
Again let rapture light the eye,
Of nil thy mourning daughters,
Ac Hoy wert constant In our ills,
De joyous in our joy
For cold, and stiff, and still are they
Who wrought thy walla annoy.

Drawn out In long array ;
With all its priest-led eltiaena,
And all its rebel peers,

The assistance, as well as prestige, irnpar

General Howe landedhis army on the 25th
of August, 1777, at Elk river, a stream enter
ing the Chesapeake Bay, some 70 miles from
Philadelphia. The spot was selected in con
sequence of many favoring circumstances,
which induced the-rommander to consider it
as eminently fitted to forward those purposes I
kr which it was designed. Ho anticipated ,

Washington, usually about, nine miles in

over which the enemies forces were required

I countless branches the beautiful landscapes
of Pennsylvania ; tangled copses and dark
ravines, stood in juxtaposition with twilight
forests and rugged mountain passes.
Brandywine creek, the scene of this disas
trous yet Indecisive contest, is noted, not
alone fur the delightful scenery along its
banks, but from the fact of its having been
the battle ground whereon were enacted
some of the most- glorious achievements
which the history of our country can furnish.
It was here that the chivalrous Lafayette
fifst demonstrated to our soldiers that ,their
"boy' commander was a man indeed, and
one well calculated to lead them forward - io

with-renewed lustre, the future b tttles of the
Revolution.
This important stream, possessed, at that
time, of such marked and peculiar interest, is
crossed' by numerous fords, among which,
that known under the name ,of was
the most readily crossed, as it ley directly with•
in the course proposed to be followed by Sir

sufficient to apprise Washington of the neces
sity (lir Immediate notion. At this point,
strangely as it must have appeared to the
Americans, the enemy manifested no ditiposi
tion to proceed, simply lingering upon the
batik, and keeping up a tremendous cannonad
ing, which was reciprocated by our troops
with equal spirit. The singularity of the no
tion, we should have supposed, would have;
excited surprise and comment, but the possi
bility of, an artifice was never for a moment
suspected. Still the enemy continued their ~
fire, and skirmishing parties occasionally en
gaged in hand-to-hand combats, some of which
were at times attended with considerable loss.
Now, the Americans would dash into the stream
and fight with unflinching_ courage against
their superior foes, and again increasing num
bers would oblige them to retreat within the
shelter of the opposite shore.. "The cheering
charge, the stormy cry," and all the wild con
fusion of a battle was there, maintained with
thundering peals of artillery and shrill rattling
of small arms; but there were none of thbse
bold and vigorous assaults by which an army
is wont to enter upon the field, with "arms
and ensigns" streaming.
The Americans were confident of victory;
in fact messages were forwarded from camp
'-to friends in Philadelphia, informing them
that the contest was already decided by the
signal• reptileo of the British army. Even
WaSkinglon's secretary was similarity reliant,
and wrote immediately to Congress, assuring
its members of the enemy's defeat and our se
cdrity. Such was the belief—so soon destined
to ho overthrown—that prevaded the Ameri
can ranks, on noting the apparent indolence
or want of courage by which their foes were
actuated.
These letter, however, as the sequel too
plainly attested, had been playing a deep game
of the most profound dissimulation. The
strategic skill of their commander had sug
gested a plan which resulted in the complete
success of his arms.
Already the hour of noon had arrived, and
a dreamy calm reposed above the murmuring
waters, while gentle breezes. coursed softly
; over the rocky declivities, and stole in musical
whispers along the trembling and changing

shouts, and waking wild echoes by their rapid
discharges. Gen. Sullivan, who,—as we be
fore mentioned—commanded a division of the
American army which extended for about two
miles along the Brandywine, above the posi
tion chosen by Washington, became suddenly
aware that a body of troops were endeavoring
to cross the stream bqond, and would ••cer
.tainly ,turn the -righb,ffiank of the Amerionn•
position." -Instantly dispatching notice of the
fact to Washington, tie prepared to advance
and attack that position in front, ere assist
ance could arrive - from the remaining divis
ions. At this moment, an-American officer of
„inferior mark, Spicer by name, approached
the General, and with a presumption only
equalled by his stupidity, assured him that
the report was entirely unfounded, no traces
of an enemy having been observed. This in
dividual who even arrogated to himself the
gift of prescience, considered the fact thak,a
foe was near by, as utterly unworthy Kure- •
dence, having but its origin in the distempered:-
brain of some weak-minded secffit.• As an'af•

now, of course, relinquished, and , S Ivan
ttriaied further developments of' the' ontra
c
dictory accounts. Just at this period er
sou residing in that vicinity, and who had no--
ticed the British columns advancing in an en
deavor to encompass the American think, now
entered the camp at tremendous speed, him
self coured with dust, and his almost exhaust
ed horse-ready to fall with protracted exertion.
It appeared that while engaged in noting their
movements, he had been observed and fired
upon by an, outlying party. A chase was then
attempted, but possessing an animal of great
speed, ho was soon enabled to distance his
pursuers. Hastily and without ceremony, ap
proaehing,Washington, he entreated him to
advance, se a moment's delay might result in
the entire army being surrounded by the ap
proaching foarces. Gen. Sullivan, having
learned from, more reliable authority than the
militia intbrinant, now sent a hurried dispatch
to the commander-in-chief, entirely confirm
ing the verity of this account. It now became
evident that the attack upon Chadd's Ford,
with all its uproar and tumult, was simply a
feint to occupy the attention of Washington,
while the British main body under Cornwallis,
by a circuitous route, had succeeded in cross
ing the Brandywine above, and was now post
ed near to a -place known as Briminghain
meeting house, just two miles to the right of
Gen.,Sullivan's position. The success of this
roost admirablyexecuted matuouvre was duo

into notion. At the earnest request of Lafay
-010, that distinguished officer, accompanied
only by an aid de-camp, was premitteu to join
the brigades of Sullivan, and participate in
the heroic deeds of that disastrous yet most
eventful day.

It was at this moment that Lafayette, par ex

horse, anthwaving his sword with all the wild
enthusinain of his mercurial nattirealled upon
the men to halt and reform. His slight figure

thus affording ample time for the "remaining

MR. WOODBRIDG E'S IN-
VESTMENT
BY HELEN FOREST ORATES
The fiery crimson of the stormy November
I,3,uuset was staining all the hills with its lurid
glare—the witid, murmuring restlessly itinout
the dead leaves that lay heaped over the woodt
paths, seemed to mount. with an almost hit
1 man voice. But the autumnal melancholy
'without, only served to heighten the cheerful
neis of the roaring wood fire, whose ruddy
glow-ilawled :awl. ev.iv-eve.:- over - 1 he rough ref
hers of fanner Woodbridge's spacious old kitch
en, sparkling on the polished surfaces of plot
ters and glimmering brasses, and sending a
glow of radiance thr,,ough the uncurtained
windows out upon the darkening road.
" Yes- as I was sayin' afore,' observed the
old farmer, rubbing his toil hardened hands
.together, and gazing thoughtfully into the fire,
it's been a capital - harvest this year. I
wouldn't ask for no better. So, wife, you jist
pick out some 'o them yeller pippin apples,
and put 'em into Jessie's basket again when
she. calls arter it."
"Won't the little rod 'uns do a s well ? I
calculate to keep them pippins for market ;
Squire Benson says they're worth —"
"I don't keer what they're worth," inter
rupted the farmer, as his helpmate, a spare,
angular woman, with a face ploughed with in
numerable little lines of care, fingered the
yellow-checked apples dubiously. " I tell
you what it is Ketury, folks never yet lost any
thing,by doin' a kind thing. I never could
mike you believe that -unless the pay came

't you s'pose these apples 'Ube worth more
'them, if you give 'em with a kind word,
thati they would be to that pesky, tight-fisted
agent, up to Hardwiche Hall, if lie gave a
dollar a bushel ?"
' "Chtrity begins to hum," said Keturali,
jerkinout the supper table with an odd twist I I
of eti face. "Not but what Jessie's well
;
enough—but you'd a plaguy sight better
scratch your pennies together to pay up that
mortgage, if you don't want the Hardwiohe
agent foreclosing on you. And them, pippins
is just as good as so much money. There they
be, anyhow, in the basket—one of your invest

"One of my investments, then, if you like
to call it so, Ketury," said the farmer with a
good humored laugh, banishing the annoyed
expression which had overspread his Owe

as a light touch sounded on the door-latch.—
"Here`b the basket nil right, and some 'o them

tempt your mother's appetite."
Jessie Moreton was a slender, graceful girl
of about seventeen, with satin smoothed bands
of Chestnut hair, parted above a low, sunny
forehead, large liquid eyes, and cheeks which

"Dear old Mr. IVoodbrige," soliloquized
Jessie Moreton toiterself, as tier light footstep
pattered along on the fallen leaves, " how
many, many times I have had cause to thank
his generous heart. And to think that he

She paused fur a moment to look up to whore

burned stormily in the sky. On a command

with aromatic incense of dying loaves. Jessie
could not help admiring the chivalric manners
and polished courtesy of her companion, and
he was more than pleased with the blooming
'loveliness and girlidi dignity of his young
guide. A few adroit questions respecting
Hardwiche Hall and its neighborhood, sufficed
to draw forth a spirited abstract of the Hard
wiche agent; and the impositions lie was 'wont
to practice upon the tenants and neighbors, as
well as an arch description of most of the
''characters" thereabouts. Then ho contrived
to learn all about Jessie's little school, and
her ailing mother, and he smiled to himself, in
the twilight, to observe the pride of her mein,
when she alluded to the high position from
which unforseen reverses had compelled her
mother to descend.
"There," she said, suddenly pausing with a
feeling, as if she had been almost too commu
nicative, " if we could only cross yonder lawn,
the gates are close by, but we shall have to go
a quart er , of a mile around."
" Why?" asked the stranger.
" Mr. Talcoti. will not allow travelers to
cross here—he says it is private property."
" I fancy I shall dare Mr. Talcott's wrath,"
said the gentleman, laughing as he pushed
open the wire gate that defended the forbidden
space. "It is perfectly absurd to make peo
ple go a quarter of a mile out of their way - for
mere whim."
They had scarcely entered the enclosure
when they met on unlooked for obstacle, Tel
colt himself. who was prowling over the
grounds on the qui rive forlrespossers.
" Hallo. here !" growled he, “just turn back
if you please. This isn't the public thorough
fare."
TIII3 stranger held Jessie's arm under his
own a little tighter, ns if to repress her evi
dent inclination to "beat a retreat." He WllB
diejioi♦ed to maintain his position.
" I don't see any reasonable cause why we
shouldn't go ahead," he said, pertinaciously.
" There is a path here, and I suppose it WBB
made to walk on."
" NO for !mu," said the agent contemptu
ously, tt so go back as fast as you can!"
'•ls it possible that people are made to trav
el a circuitous and unpleasant route, for mo
earthly reason than your caprices, sir!" asked
the gentleman,-from the Altitude of his six
feet, with a laughing scorn. "Did it ever
occur to you, my friend, that others had rights
and conveniences as well as yourself." -
" Can't help their rights—nothing to me;"
snarled the agent, planting himself obstinately
in the path. " I forbid all passing here !"
"But I suppose Everard Hardwiche may
have the privilege of crossing his own land!"
persisted (he stranger, still presenting the half
contemptuous smile that had from the begin
ning made the agent so uncomfortable.
Talcott grew, not exactly pale, but yellow
with consternation.
" Mr. Ulardwiche—sir, I did not know—We
did not expect—"
"No—l know you didn't, my good man.—
