No struggle in history has produced more noble instances of heroism, than that of oar own glorious Revolution. 1 he acnievements wnicn light up the ex pansc of the deadly conflict, like the stars in the firmanent, put to shame the melodra matte heroes of Greece; indeed it is too much to say that every mountain pass has been Thermopylae, and every battle field a Mara th on. Occasionally those deeds of war have been lighted by the sweetest of all passions, love 1 -. - .1 . .. . ana 11 is a laie 01 tove ana patriotism wo have now to tell. Sergeant Jasper belonged to that callant band, Marrion s JJrtgade, where his valor and talents soon won Lieu distinction. Among other daring deeds his rescuing our fla at le battle of rort Moultrie deserves to be mentioned. In the hostile conflict the flog was shot away and tell without tho fort Leapicg over the rampart he seized the fia, and returned amidst the shouts of even t LmUfrh. ror the daring deed. Gen. Itut- ege presented him with a sword. Like many other families at that time, bis was divided on that great occasion. His ol der brother took the 6ide of the English, and served in their arsiy. Out of affection to his brother, and a wish to examine into the strength and condition of the enemy he rcsol- 1 - , J .. vcu uu couuiiiuu in company wnn another pa triot soldier, bcrgcant Newton, to pv the British a visit. His brother's position in it enabled him to receive bis two friends with out any suspicion of their being spies, and they were entertained for two or three day3 witn "great nospuaiity. Yv hilo they were thus engaged, a party of :vmeriaans were Drought in prisoners, and as they had deserted from the IJritish, and enlisted in the American ranks, their doom would have been to die. This the brother of Jasper assured him was to be their fate. ith them were the wife and child of one of these prisoners. lier husband's approaching fate touched the heart of Jasper. Conhding in his friend Newton. they bade adieu to Jasper s brother and took their leave. I hey had no sooner cot outside of that camp, than they made a detour and stretched across the country so as to elude all suspicion should they meet any British soldiers. it was the custom ot the Jt.nglish then to send all the prisoners taken in that quarter to oavannah. At a little spring about two miles off from the latter place, Jasper and Newton secreted themselves, awaited the arrival of their pris oners. It had occurred to J asper, perhaps they might rest here for a short time to refresh themselves and the woody nature of the spot would favor their rescue. After some anxious suspense they saw the escort with their prisoners approach. The guard was ten in number and armed. The Corporal with four men conducted their cap tives to the water, and told them to rest them selves for an hour, at the same time giving them some provisions. The Sergeant then told the men that they should ground their arms and rest themselves The prisoners then threw themselves npon the earth in hopeless despair. Near to the wretched man and the wife and child, two of the men kept their arms as sentinels. As the rest of the men were filling their can teens with water, Jasper and Newton came stealthily along behind them, seized two of the muskets that were stacked, shot the two sentinels, and rushing upon the others, stun ned them with the butts of their muskets. Deprived of their arms, they abandoned the conflict and fled. Releasing the prison ers, they escaped across tho river to the Americans. Rat the most romantic incident in this brave man's life was his love for Miss Sally Sic Clair, or as she is termed in our annals the Maiden Warrior. This was a beautiful Creole girl, who re turned hit passions with a purity and inten sity seldom known upon this cold orb. When he was called upon to join the de fenders of Lis country, her grief knew no bounds. The hour of parting came, and the gallant soldier sprang upon his horso and join ed his regiment Hardly had the sound of horses feet died upon the ear, than her romantic nature sug gested the plan of rejoining her lover by en listing in the same brigade. Her project was fully resolved upon and immediately put into execution. After securing a suit of male attire as near her own size as possible, she severed her long and jetty locks, dressed.her hair like a man's, and purchasing a horse she set off thre8 days after, alone, to offer her services to the noble Marion Her offer was accep ted, and a lithe, active strippltng was added to the corps to which her lover belonged. The contrast betwen the strippling and these men, irf&eir, uncouth garbs, massive faces, embrowned 'and discolored by rain was indeed striking. Rut no one was ss eager for battle so indifferent to fatigue, as the fair-faced boy. It was found that his enegry of character, resolution and courage, amply supplied his lack of phisique. None ever suspected him to be a woman. Not even Jasper himself, although he was often by her side, and pen etrated her disguise. The romance of her situation, increased the fervor of her passion. It was her delight to reflect that unknown to him, she was ever by his side, watching over him in the hour of danger. Her passion was fed by gazing upon him in the hour of slumber, hovering near him when btealiDg through swamp and thicket, and being always ready to avert danger from his head. Rut gradually there stole a melancholy pre sentiment over the poor girl's mind. She had been tortured with hope defered, the war was prolonged, the prospect of being restored to him grew more uncertain. Rut now she felt that her dreams of hap piness could never be realiied. She became convicted that death was about to snatch her away from his side; but she prayed that she might die and he never know to what length the violence of her passion had led her. It was an eve before a battle. The camp had sunk into repose, the watch fires were burning low, and only the slow tread of sen tinels' fell upon the profound silence of the night air, as they moved through the dark shadows of the forest. Upon the ground, with no other couch than a blanket, reposed the warlike form of Jasper. Climbing vines trailed themselves to a canopy above his head, through which the stars shone brightly. f The faint flicker from tne expiring embers cf a hre fell athwart his countenance, and tinged the cheek of one who bent over Lb couch. Tl ira's tbe sm'oothe faced stnppling she Dent low as it to listen to his dreams, or to breathe into his soul pleasing dreams of love aud happiness. Rut tears traced themselves down the fair one's cheeks, and lay upon tho brow of her lover. m A mysterious voice had told her that the hour ot parting had come; that to-morrow her destiny is consumated. There was one last, long look, and then the unhappy maid is seen to tear herself from the spot to weep out her sorrow in privacy. Fierce and terrible is the conflict that on the morrow rages on that spot. The fore nicit one in the battle is the intrepid J asper, and ever by his side that light strippling war rior. Often during the heat and the smoke, gleams suddenly on the eyes of Jasper the melancholy face of the maiden. In the thick est of the light, surrounded by enemies. fought the'Iovers eide by side. A" lance is suddenly levelled at the breast of Jasper; but swifter than the lauco is the smootbe-faced warrior. There is a wild cry, and at the feet of Jasper sinks the maiden, with the life-blood gushing from the bosom, which has been thrown as a shield before his breast. He did not hear the din and danger of the conflict, but down by the side of that dying body he kneels. Then, for the first time, does he learn that the stripling is his love; that the dim visions. in his slumber of an angel face hovering above him, had indeed been true. In the midst of the battle with her lover by her side, and the barb still in her bosom, the heorine maiden dies. Her name, her sex and her noble devotion, soon became known throughout the corps. There was a tearful group -gathered around her grave there wasn't ono of those hardy warriors who did not bedew her grave with tears. They btTfiedber near the river Santee, in green shady nook, that looked as if it had been stolen out of paradise. Flirtation af Married Women' The in nocent flirtation of married woman is one of the abominations of modern society. . Even a desire for promiscuous admiration is wrong in a wife. The love of one and his approval, ahould be all that she should desire. Let her be ever so beautiful it is a disgusting sight to see her dceorating that beauty for public gaze, to see ncr seeKing tne attention 01 senseless fops around her, and rejoicing in the admiration of other eyes than those of her husband. Her beauty should be for him alone, and not for the gaze of the fools that flutter around her. There is always among the se date and the wise a sensation of disgust, when a married lady attempts to ensnare or entrap young men by profuse display of her charms, or an unlicensed outlay of her smiles. Such charms and such smiles are loathesome to the indifferent-beholder: the trail of the serpent is over them. X5TEont despond. Let not anxiety ''have you on the hyp" Consider your health as' your best friend, and think as well of it, in pite of its foibles, as you can.

Tlae Sailor's Dream. One beautiful Sunday afternoon I was walking the quarter deck of a fine ship run ning down the northeast trades. Wm. Thorn ton, an old weather-beaten sailor was at the wheel, and I could occasionally hear him humming the air of "'Rlack-Kyed Susan," when my back was towards him. He was an excellent helmsman, and kept the ship to her course, true as the needles to the poles. Although it is still, as it was then, contrary to rule to enter into conversation with the man at the wheel, yet, observing William smile, and raise bis hat upon 'nine hairs," I asked him sympathetically, "what arc you thinking about, William?" "About my sweet heart, sir" "Are yoa going to get married again when you return?"' "I was never married, sir, nor never will be, yet I have a sweetheart. It's just forty years this day since I saw her. and I never saw her but J vuw. ijui muak luuivf i viu J ou uiic iu su old salt's love dreams' Go ahead, William tell me about this sweetheart. I'm iu love myself, and can sympathize with you." " ell, sir. it's just forty years this day since I strolled into one of the biggest church es in Rroadway, and was invited to a seat in a grand pew by an elderly gentleman There were two ladies with him, one of them, the moment our eyes met, said as plainly as eyes could "I'm glad to see you again." I was sure I had seen her before I felt that we wcrj old playmates but for the soul of me I could not tell where. I could hardly take my eyes off her, she looked so good. When the services commenced she put a prayer book in my hand and pointed to the lesson of the day. I was then young, sir, and good-looking too. and had about as much self-conceit as most young men, but the more I looked at that sweet girl, the less I thought of myself. When the scrvioes were over, I followed her to the door of her carriage, and could not help saying as the gentleman han ded her in, "God bless you my sweet angel!" and to my surprise, instead of being offen ded, she replied, "Thank you sir, and may He bless you to." The gentleman raised his hat to me and smiled. "Good bye. Jack," said he "good bye to yoa. It was the voice of a sailor, and he was no doubt a sea cap tain. Roth the ladies, though I had neglec ted one entirely, bowed to me out of the car riage window In a moment they were gone, and I never saw them from that time to this, yet from that day to this I have truly loved that eweetgirll" " YfailiirJgton's mother, W hat a meeting was there of mother and son after the glorious ending of the strife for independence! Late in the year liM.on tho return of the combined armies from Yorktown, the mo ther of Washington was permitted again to sec and embrace her illustrious son, the first time in almost seven years. As soon as he had dismounted, in the midst of a numerous and brilliant suite, after reaching Fredricks burg he sent to apprise her of his arrival, and to know when it weald be her pleasure to receive hin. And now, reader, mark the force of early education and habits, and the superiority of the Spartan over the Persian school, in this interview of the great Wash ington with his admirable parent instructor. No pagentry of war proclaimed his coming; no trumpets sounded, no banners waved. Alone and on foot, the general-in-chief of the combined armies of France and America, the deliverer of hi3 country, the heroe of the age repaired to pay his humble duty to her whom he venerated as the author of bis being, the founder cf his fortunes and his .fame; for full well he knew that the matron was made of sterner stuff than to be moved by all the pride that glory ever gave, and all "the pomp nd circumstances' ofpower. She was aloe, her aged hands employed in the works of do mestic industry, when the good news was an nounced, and it was further told, that the victor chief was waiting at the threshold. She bid him welcome by a warm embrace, and by the well-remembered and endearing name" of George the familiar name of his childhood; she enquired as to his health, re marked that the lines which mighty cares and toils had ' made in his countenance, spoke much of old times and old friends, but of his glory not one word.
