THE LITTLE REBEL.
IF our heroine t'yntlila Smith, walketl
(he etirth to dny.wlio woultl he a great-gient-giHtHliiiothf
r. iit nt the (line of
this story, 17S0, nlie was only ft email
girl, who lived on a plantntlon near the
Bantee river, Houth Carolina. She was
twelve years old, four feet and two Inches
high, and, for so young and so small a
perron, sue was ns staunch a rebel as you
could have found In all America ; for the
war of Independence had been raging
ever since Cynthia could remember.
When she was only Ave years old,
her little heart hud beaten hard at the
utory of the famous " Boston Tea party,"
at which a whole ship-load of tea had
been emptied into the harbor because
stupid George III, Insisted on a " three
penny tax."
"And New York and Philadelphia
would 'a done the same, but for the
ships turning tuil, und going where
they came from. They've burned the
stuff In Annapolis, audit's spoiling in
the Charlestown cellars,bless the Lord !"
said Mr. Smith, striking his heavy hand
on his knee.
" Hurray !" shouted John ami Jack
nnd Wllllum and Ebenezer, Cynthia's
brothers. "Hurrah!" echoed Cynthia,
as if she understood all ubout It.
The following year, when Kugland
shut up Boston harbor with her"Stamp
Act," never a bit of rice did Cynthia
get to eat, for her father sent his whole
harvest North, as did nnny another
Southerner.
After that John went to Massachu
setts to visit Uuncle Ilezekluh, and the
next June they heard that he had been
shot dead at the battle of Bunker Hill.
Cynthia wept hot tears on her course
homespun apron ; but she dried them
in a sort of strange dellght when Jack,
all on Are to take John's place, Insisted
on joining the Virginia lUflemen, and
following a certain George Washington
to the war.
"It's ' Liberty or Death' we have
marked on our shirts, and it's Liberty
or Death' we have burned into our
hearts,' Jack wrote home ; at which his
mother wrung her hands, and his father
smiled grimly..
" Just wait you two other boys," said
the latter ; "we'll have It hot and heavy
at our own doors before we're through."
That was because Will and Ebeue.er
wished to follow iu Jack's footsteps.
Cynthia longed to be a boy, that she
might Indulge in a private skirmish
with the" Britishers" on her own ac
count. But she had little time for even patri
otic dreamings aud yearnings. There
was a deal of work to be done in those
days.
Cynthia helped to weave cloth for
the family gowus and trousers, and to
Bpin aud knit yarn fur the paternal and
fraternal Btocklngs. This kept her very
busy until 1770, when two great eveuts
took place.
One was the signiug of the Declara
tion of Independence; t lie other was
the birth of a red aud white calf in Mr.
Smith's baru. Which was of the most
importance to Cynthia it Is hard to say.
" To be sure, she tingled from head to
foot at her father's ringing tones, as he
read from a sheet of paper some one had
given him, " All men are born free aud
equal " but she also went wild with joy
when her father said : You may keep
that bossy for your own, if you'll agree
to raise her, Cynthy."
Cynthy took the calf Into her inmost
heart, and she named her "Free-'u'-equal."
That was the way tlie words
sounded to her.
If ever an animal deserved such a
name this was the one. She scorned all
authoiity, kicked up her hind legs, aud
went careering round the plautatlou at
her own sweet will, ouly coming to the
barn when Cynthy's call was heard.
.Free-'n'-equal was Cynthy's ouly
playmate, for no children lived within
six miles. As the calf grew into a cow,
the more Intimate and loving were the
two. To Free-'n'equal did Cynthy
confide all her secrets and chielly did
she iuform her of her senlimeis in re
gard to the war. She even consulted
her as to the number of stitches to be
put on a pair of wristlets for Jack, who
In the winter of 1777-78 had gone with
General Washington to l'eunsylvaula.
Alas! Jack never wore those wristlets.
He was one of the many who lay down
to die of cold and hunger In that awful
Valley Forge. Cynthy believed that
Free-'n'-equal understood all the sor
row of her heart when she told her the
pitiful news.
Quite as much did she thare her Joy
when Cynthy came flying to the baru
with the Joyful tidings that British Bur
goyue had surrendered at Saratoga.
Again the joy vanished, and Cynthy
sobbed her woe Into Free-'n'-equal's
sympathizing ear when Sir Henry Clin
ton captured Charleston, only twenty
miles away.
But she sobbed even more a few
mouths later,
"For General Gates has come down to
South Carolina, Free-'n'-equal, and
father and Will nnd Kbenezer have
gone to fight In his army."
Free-'n'-equal hhook her head solemn
ly at that, and her long, low, " Moo-o"
said plainly enough : "What U to be
come of the rest of us, my poor little
mistress ?"
Cynthy brushed away her tears in a
twinkling. '
" We'll take care of ourselves, that's
what we'll do. Mother and I'll hoe the
rice. And, Free-'n'-equal, you've got
to toe the mark, and give more milk
than ever to keep us strong and well."
"Trust me for that," said Free-'n.
equal's eyes.
And she kept her promise. Itlch,
yellow milk did she give, painful after
pailful. Cynthy and her mother work
ed like men and fed ou the cream.
, Those were dangerous days all along
the Santee Kiver, for Lord Cornwallls'
troops were roaming over the land, and
laying waste the country. But Cynthy
was not afraid no, not even when
Lord Cornwallls came withlu three
miles of the plantation. She said her
prayers every day and believed firmly
in the guardian augels, and a certain
rusty guu behind the kitchen door.
"Just let those soldiers touch any
thing of ours and see what they'll get!"
Free-'n'-equal was perfectly sure Cyn
thia cou'.d manage the whole British
army, if need were, and munched her
cud in blissful serenity.
Oh no, Cynthia had no fear, even
when a red eoad did sometimes rise
above the horizon like a morning-cloud.
She would regard him no more than
she would a scarlet-breasted bird which'
sung above her head when she went
into the forest hard by to gather sticks.
So, no wonder that she was taken
mighty aback when, one afternoon as
she came home with her bundles of
sticks, her mother met her with wide
open eyes and n pale face.
" Cynthia, they've been here and car
ried off Free-'n'-equal."
" They !" gasped Cynthia. " Who ?"
"The British soldiers. They tied a
rope round her horns. She kicked well,
but they jerked her along. Cynthy,
Cynthy, what shall we doi1"
Cynthia uttered a sound between a
groau aud a war whoop, and darted out
of the door. Along the dusty road she
ran, on aud on. Her yellow sun bonnet
fell back on her shoulders, aud her
brown curls were covered with dust.
One mile, two miles, three miles on
aud on. At last he reached a small
house, which was Lord Cornwallls'
headquarters. Not a moment did Cyn
thia pause. The sentinels challenged
her In vaiu. She marched majestically
past them. Into the house into the
parlor walked she.
There sat Lord Cornwallls and some
six of his oltlcers, eatlog and drinking
at a big table. '
Cynthia stopped at the threshold aud
dropped a courtesy.
Lord Cornwallls glanced up and saw
her.
Miss Cynthia dropped another courte
sy, opened her lips and spake :
" I am Cynthia Smith," said she,
gravely, "and your men have taken
my cow, Free-'n'-equal Smith, aud I've
come to fetch her home, if you please."
" Your cow V" questioned Lord Com
wallls, pausing, with a wine glass iu his
hand.
" They carried her off by a rope,"
said Cynthia. ,
"Where do you live?" asked the
British general.
" Three miles awny, along with my
mother.
" Have you no father i"'
" One, nnd four brothers."
" Where is your father V"
"In General Gates' army, Mr. Lord
Cornwallls.
"Oh, he's a rebel, is he?"
" Yes, sir," said Miss Cynthia, proudly
erect.
" And where are your brothers ?"
Cynthia paused. " John he went to
heaven along with Genera? Warren,
from the top of Bunker Hill," said she,
with a trembling lip.
Oue of the youuger ofllcers smiled,
but he stopped iu a hurry as Lord Corn
wallls' eyes flashed at hi m.
" And Jack went to heaven," proceed
ed Cynthia, softly, "out of Valley Forge
where he was helping General Washing
ton." " Where are the other two ?"
" In the army, Mr. Lord Corn wallis."
Cynthia's head was erect again.
" Bank rebels."
" Yes, they are."
" Hum ! And you're a bit of a rebel
too, I'm thinklug, if the truth were
told."
Miss Cynthia nodded with emphasis.
" And yet you come here for your
cow," said Lord CoruwallU. "I'll be
bouud she's rebel beef herself."
Cynthia meditated. "I thiuk the
would be if fche had two less legs, aud
not quite so much horn. That 1.-, she'd
be a rebel, maybe they wouldn't cull her
beef then.
Lord Cornwallls threw back his head
and laughed a good-natured, heurty
laugh that made the room ring. All
his ofllcers laughed too, Including the
miserable reti coat who had smiled over
John's fate.
Miss Cythla wondered what tho fun
might be ; but In no wise abashed she
stoml firm on her two little feet, and
waited until, the merriment over, they
might see fit to return to the cow in
hand, which was certainly worth any
two iu the camp.
At last her face began to flush ft little.
What if these fine gentlemen were
making game of her, after all.
Lord Cornwallls saw the red blood
mount her cheeks, and just because he
was a real gentleman, he became sober
Instantly. " I will myself see to It that
your cow "
" Free-'n'-equal," suggested Cynthia.
" That Free-'n'.equal," repeated Lord
Coruwallls, courteously, "is safe in your
barn to morrow morning. And per
haps," he added, unfastening a pair of
silver knee-buckles which he wore, "you
will accept these as a gift from one who
certaluly wishes no harm to these reb
els. Aud that his majesty himself
knows."
Then he rose and held his wine glass
above his head ; so did every oftlcer in
the room.
" Here's to the health of as fair a little
rebel ns we shall meet, and God bless
her !" said he.
She dropped her final courtesy, clasp
ed the shining buckles, and out of the
room she vanished, sure in her mind
that Free-'n '-equal was all her own
ouce more.
As for those buckles, children dear,
they are this very day in the hands of
one of Cynthia's descendants. For
there was a real cow and a real Miss
Cynthia, as well as a real Lord Corn
wallls. Didn't Understand.
ONE of the American humorists feels
grieved that he cannot make him
self understood. Scenes like the follow
ing not unfrequently occur, he says,
when we want to buy anythiug with an
uncommon name:
I went Into a Philadelphia book store
the other day for the purpose nf pro
curing a copy of Christopher North's
well-known "Noctes Ambrosianie."
The first person I encountered was a
red-haired clerk, to whom I said:
"Have you 'Noctes Ambrosianie V "
" Wh-wli-wh-what'U you say?" he
askeJ, with mouth and eyes wide open.
"I called to ascertain if you have
'Noctes Ambrosianie?'"
" I don't exactly that is, I don't un
derknocked his what did you say ?"
"I said that I understand that you
had 'Noctea Ambrosianie." If you
havn't why don't you say so at once?"
"I don't know what you mean. I
never did such a thing in my life."
" Perhaps you don't understand me.
I wish to see if you have Noctes Am
brosianie." Christdpher North's 'Noctes
Ambrosianie' "
" Oh, he has has he?. He's knocked
his, what you call it, has he ! Well, I
don't care a cent if he has. You've
come to the wrong shop. You must he
crazy. Your mind seems to be unhing
ed. You havn't" breakingofTsuddeu
ly and addressing a clerk in the rear end
of the store. " Say, Bill, here's a feller
that's foolln' around here, wantin' to
knock somebody. Get a policeman,
quick!"
Thau I left and bunted up another
emporium of learning.
A Business Dog.
There is a sagacious Newfoundland
dog iu Norwich. ' He will take the
basket, in which is a note, and go to
market, get meat, vegetables, or what
ever the note calls for, and carry it safely
home. But he has a daily task assigned
him which lie performs, rain or shine,
aud that is to carry his mistress her din
ner. She keeps a millinery establish
ment and does not go home to her noon
day meal. Regularly as the day comes
around the dog may be seen trotting
along Main street at about 11:30 with a
basket in his mouth looking neither to
the right nor left, but going straight to
the store, where he sets it down and
watches it until hismistres9 comes for it.
And he Is so well knowu, too, among
the Norwich dogs that he Is never mo
lested. But on Monday a strange dog
undertook tfj have a little racket with
him while he was loaded down with his
commissary stores. He hung to the
basket, but stopped long enough to get a
good look at the cowardly cur that had
interfered with him, and then started off
ou a run to the store, where he dropped
the basket and Immediately returned to
the street and began to search for his
assailant. He found him on Fraukliu
avenue aud proceeded to chastUe him in
true canine style. In about half a min
ute he sat down and watched that cur
put in his best jumps for (he bill-tops of
Voluntown, giving a ki-hi at every leap.

SUNDAY HEADING
The Little Builders
John Brown nnd Jemmy Athln
were great friends. At school, at play,
everywhere, they were together, aud
when one learned anything knew It was
not long before the other new It also.
Now they were watching the masons,
who were building a fine home.
"Did you know that we are builders,
John," said Jemmy, as he watched the
men putting brick after brlok upon the
wall.
"No, we are not; we're only boys,"
said John.
" But we are ; we are bulldi ng n house
which Is to last forever anil ever," said
Jemmy, earnestly.
"Pooh! now you are not in earnest,
said John. " Nothing in the world lasts
forever and ever. That old Morgan
House is a hundred years old, and it
won't last a hundred more."
"I can't help that," said Jemmy.
" Mother told me our souls would live
forever, and we were building houses for
them to live in."
"How is that? said John, soberly.
" Well, she said that we build our
characters day by day, brick by brick,
just as that man is doing. And if we
build well, we shall be glad forever and
ever; and If we build b.tdly If we use
shaky bricks, orwotten wood or stubbl
we shall ever after be sorry."
"That is strange. We ought to be
pretty careful, then" said John. "But
your mother is such a good woman, she
she must know."
" I think it Is nice to be builders, don't
yoji ? said Jemmy.
"Yes, if we build right. But let's
see; what kind of bricks had we better
use?
" Always tell the truth, that's one.
Be honest; that's another," said Jem
my. "Good! cried John. "Mind your
mother; there is another."
" Yes, and father and teachers, too
said Jemmy. "There's a big beam of
temperance In my building. Mother
says that's a good beam, and keeps the
frame steady."
" Be courteous ; there's a brick," said
John. "And don't covet; there's
another."
"And don't speak against anybody,
and don't say any, bad words," inter
rupted Jemmy. "And we Miall go oa
building as long as we live, mother says :
and every single day we add something
to our house."
The gentleman who owned the new
building stood close beside the boys,
hidden from their sight by a high wall.
He listened to their talk intently, and
then he stepped round beside them and
said : "Pretty good work, my boys ; only
build on the sure foundation."
They looked a little frightened, but he
smiled so pleasantly upon them that
they soon felt at ease, and listened while
he said :
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Giveyouryoung hearts to God, my boys ;
He is the great Master Builder. He will
teach you to build so that He will say,
"Well done." Seek first the kingdom,
of God, and all things else will be added
unto you." Then he added: "I wish
everybody would build as you plan, dear
boys. May God help you to keep His
commandments."
The Man Is as the Wife Is.
A Judicious wife is always nipping off
from her husband's moral nature twigs
that are growing in wrong directions.
She keeps bim in shape by continual ,
pruning. If you say anything silly, she
will affectionately tell you so. If you de.
clare that you will do someabsurd thing,
she will rind some means of preventing
you from doing it. And by far the chief
part of all the common sense there is in
thi world belongs unquestionably to
Woman. The wisest things a man com
monly does are those which his wife
counsels him to do. A wife is a grand
wielder of the moral pruning knife. If
Johnson's wife had lived, there would
have been no hoarding up of orange
peel, no touching all the posts in walk
ing along the streets, no eating and
drinking with disgusting voracity. If
Oliver Goldsmith had been married he
never would have worn that memorable
and ridiculous coat. Wheueveryou findi
a man whom you know little about,
oddly dressed, or talking absurdly, or
exhlbiting eccentricity of manner, you
may be sure that he is not a married
man, for the corners are rounded off
the little shoots pared away in married ,
men. Wives have generally more sens
thau their husbands, even though they
may be clever men. The wife' advice
is like the ballast that keeps the ship
steady. . .
