Now. In a small farm-house, towards the close of the year 1780, sat an old man, his wife and only sou. The face of the father ap- peared troubled; at times he loiked tho't- fully on the floor, and then he would g:,z<? ^meT^lT war long and wistfully at his son, a fine, manly youth of twenty. At length he said, David, this is disastrous news from Cam- den. God knows what will become of the country now'! Congress net ds every man that is capable—ah ! uie, 1 wish this old wound 1 got in the French war had not lamed me—but fijr it, I should be now shouldering my musket, and marching to defend my country. Both the son and wife looked up at these words. The old lady ceased knitting and to which he proceeded boldly in pursuit of j torics, when I give the word, fire a volley a lodging. At first the occupant received'at the house by way of introducing our- j him coolly, but a chance expression selves : eon- j vineed David that his hast was a lory, he; mid enter it jallected the same political creed and wa> nnly welcomed. The roy- alist procured his cider after supper, and insisted that .David should join him in his notations; this the young man did, inking lady gazed inquiringly at her boy, and it w- evident, from the expression of her face, thatgpatriotism and moth n rIy affection were at variance in her bosom. The son, how- ever, after encountering his father's eye for a moment, turned confusedly away.— The old man's brow darkened, and he said warmly, David, .David, why do you linger about the village when your country needs your services so much ?—why, son, 1 am asha- med of you ! Twice, before this have 1 spoken to you upon this subject, but you appear to have no spirit! What! will you see us trampled upun by the brutal mercenary of i>'ritain, and si ill be more supinely? For shame, David—for shame! I will not call you my son. Long since you ought to have been in tie af- fray ! Joshua, Joshua, interposed the old moth- er, David is but a youth, then do no: sp ak to him so harshly. He cannot feel what you feel, who have fought so often against our country's enemies—Joshua, he is but a boy. A boy, indeed, Deborah ! such boys as David have already gained imperishable laurels since the war commenced. I could name a host of them!—why, were it not for the boys of this kind where would be our army, which I dare say, is one quar- rer conrposed of boys of David's age.— The old man was excited, and it was the first unkind word that he ever used to his boy. David arose and left the house. He walked some distance apparently in deep thought. in her most winning manner, \I should re- ally like to have some money this even- ing.\ \So would I, Mrs. Jones,\ replied Jack, with the most perfect sang froid. \I should like to go and see the new panto, mime at Astley's.\ \You would!\ exclaimed Mrs'.

Nor was it long before succes crowned his adroit cr ss-examina- lion. Why, you see, said his host, 1 believe there's a little revenge for a slight receiv- es o ed from these fellow's sister, mixed up with the Major's desire to catch the Bunkers.— The girl is very pretty, they say, and the Maj r, when she was down here on a visit hist year—before the war got to be so bloody—wanted to marry her, but she would have nothing to say to him. Ever since, he has vowed to make her rue the day. You may depend upon it, he will have her on his own terms now—thank heav n ! there is no law any longer to prevent an lion> st loyalist from doing as from the fire of the Bunkers, went to work at the door. Suspecting such resistance— perhaps from a knowledge of their charac- ter—one of the men had brought an axe lations, (very distant ones, but who now felt very near.) together with a few friends already assembled. The will was broken open with all due formality, and read in this wise : \I Richard Bramble, of the city of Lon- don, England, being of sound disposing mind and memory, do make and publish with which he commenced hewing at the 'thin for my last vwll and testament. door, and soon cut it to pieces. Here a di s- perate baitle ensued. The two brothers were powerful men, and as courageous as tl.ey u ere strong : and now with clubbed rifles they disputed the en'rance of the whole tory force. The do-v being small, they stood their ground for half an hour, \To my second cousin, Thomas Jones, 1 give and bequeath the sum of five thou- sand dollars.

May G id Almighty bless you for this ! cried one of the Bunkers. The two men house, half hid between clustering trees This was the residence of Mary Bunker, the mistress of his heart; the lights showed that the family had not retired, and he resolved to pay her a visit before his departure. She was alone when he 1 f e ig ne( j name would not have protected entered, and a few words acquainted her fc lm n . om detection. He wished to get off with his determination. She burst into j tnat n ight, as he had proposed ; but to this neither his host nor the Major would hear, and he was forced to remain till morning. What was his anguish to hear, on rising, tears. Nay, Mary ! he said, you must not un- man me. At first I resolved to leave you without a farewell, for I knew how much | that the Major had been gone some hours, you dreaded my taking an active part in . an( j was already on his way to the Bunkers this struggle. \But I could not be so cruel as to desert you without a word. I will compose myself, said the fair girl, with an effort to smile. I know I have been wrong to persuade you to stay ; but you cannot imagine the anxiety I suffer on account of my brothers, and I co'd not bear to have you too enter their danger. J5ut since this dreadful defeat at Camden, 1 feel that every man is wanted by our coun- try. Go then, deartst, and God be with you. My prayers shall attend you, night and day. David pressed the now weeping girl to his bosom, snatched a hasty Ida's at the sound of approaching footsteps, wrung her hand and was gone, The next day he left the neighborhood with his troops. Dissembling his anxiety, David partook of a hasty breakfast, and mounting his horse, rode slowly away.— But when out of sight of the hoti^e he struck into a fierce gallop which he con- tinued until he came in sight of a cross- road, where was a tavern. Here he stop- ped and learning the royalists had taken the high-road, he turned aside into a nar- row and more circuitous one. It is my only chance to avoid them, he said, again dashing into a gallop. Pray God, I may rpach the settlement in time to collect a few of our lads and march to the Bunker's. There is no other hope now left. l Night had fallen, as they expected, be- fore the tories were able to reach the vicin- of his father's house, armed with a musket, | ity of the house they were in search of.- taliate the treatment which they had just received. Long and desperate was the battle. The tories fought for life ; the vvhigs for revenge. But at length, the latter triumphed, though not until their enemies had been almost wholly exterminated. The Major fell by the arm of our hero, who sought him out in the hottest of the fight and engaged him single handed. JVb language of ours can express the emotions of David as he pressed his be- trothed bride to his bosom ; and his heart went up in thankfulness to heaven for his limely arrival, when he thought that a de- lay of half an hour longer would have con- signed her to a fate worse than death.— The gratitude of her brothers was express- ed in many words, but her's was silent and tearful, yet oh ! how much more gratify- ing. I almost called you'a coward,son David, said his father to him, when they met, but you are a chip of the old block and I did you wrong. You may founder one of my horses every day that you do such a deed —it beats anything I saw in the old French war. David's gallantry in this act drew around him, in a few weeks* more than a score of hardy young followers, who fought with him till the close of the war, when he*re- turned and was happily married to the he- roine of our story. whore. All condoled with Jack upon his singu- lar il'-fortune, and lawyer Brown handed him his share of the property, carefully j winpped up and directed to his name, the manner in which it had been received from America. Unfortunate Jack ! As he took it up, and putting it under his arms, walked out of the house, never did he in his whole life feel so strong an antipathy to the holy vols ume he now carried. The tears started into his eyes, poor fellow, as he gazed up- on its mouldering form, and once or twice he had more than half resolved to throw it into the street; but something whispered in his heart it would be wrong and ungen- e rous. \Never mind,\ said Jack. \I'll keep the old book, anyhow, just for fun—just to look at when I get a little too high ; it will so-, ber me, I know, as soon as soda water. So, carrying it up to his room, he laid it away very carefully upon the top shelf of his closet, and then, with a heavy heart, with all his bright golden visions of the fu- ture dissolved into empty air, and with all the many discomforts and wants of the present, staring him in the countenance, Jack undressed himself, and jumped into bed. About six weeks after the reading of the will, Jack found himself, very unexpected- ly, by the death of old Quibble, throwu out of a situation. Jack had no money and no credit. His landlady was at him from day to day for the small item, he owed her for board, and the wire of t the door bell was almost worn out by the importunate pull- ings of clamerous creditors whom he was totally unable to pay. Jack, however, took it very philosophically. He got up in the morning, and after eating his breakfast, he would go to some place^vhere he could see the daily papers, and read the advertise- ments all over very carefully, hoping to find something which would suit his abili- ties. From thence he would go and wan- der musingly along the docks until meal- time, when he would return to his board- ing-house, to meet the cold looks and eat the warm dinner of his hostess. One evening, after a day spent in this unsatisfactory manner, Jack was seated in his room, his feet resting upon his bed, with a mild Havanna in his mouth, (a present from a fellow boarder,) smoking away ve- ry complacently, enjoying the soothing properties of the delicious weed, when his meditations were very unpleasantly brought to a termination by the sudden appearance of his landlady. \My dear Mr. Bramble,*' the lftdy bpjgan it, if I could'nt discover some way of get- ting out of this diffieulty. Any how, I'll read a little in it. Maybe it's because I've never read any in it that I'm so unlucky. So here goes.\ Jack reached down the old Bible from its resting-place, and, placing it upon the little table, drew it up to the side of the bed, upon which he seated himself, and snuffing his candle, commenced turning over the yellow leaves of the ancient vol- ume, in order to find that portion of it which tells of Daniel's deliverance from the lions' den, as that he considered the. nearest of any similar to his situation, the only ve im- material difference being that Daniel was in the lions' den and unable to get out, while Jack was in what he considered nearly as bad a place, and had to go out. Jack had not turned over more than thirty pages, when suddenly his eyes rest- ed upon something lying between the leaves. With a cry of joy, he seizes it in his hands, and holds it up to the light. It is a bank note !—can he believe it 1 —and for one thousand pounds ! Quickly he turn's over another leaf; another note, and for the same large amount ! Lucky Jack, all thy woes are ended ' Precious leaves, twenty of them each concealing the same amount, making in all twenty thousand pounds !— Dear, dear old Bible !—and he fairly clasps it to his heart, and rolls back with it upon the bed for joy. The first thing Jack did upon the follow- ing morning, was to look into the precious book, and assure himself that he had not been dreaming, and the next, after getting change for one of the notes, to pay Mrs. Jones, which he did to that good lady's ut- ter amazement. He also startled all his other creditors in a like manner, and could afterwards walk the streets without moles- tation. Jack says it somehow got wind that he had become heir to a fortune, and it was astonishing how the number of his friends (?) increased in consequence of it. Jack Bramble is now a married mSn', with a large family ; and, although he loves his wife—and there is not just such another in the universe—and although he dotes upon his children, and thinks them a little smarter than any body else, yet better than all does he love the old vol- ume that brought him such good fortune ; and, as Jack has become a very sober fel- low, and a member of meeting besides, he says his uncle was right after all ; and, even if there had been no money in it, he could'nt have left him anything better than that \old Family Bible !\ i——i—i————— MECHANIC AET. iCom^sJton Ornaments.

One day a stranger knocked at the gate, and desired to speak with the master. \ I am come,'' said he. \to take possession of this house, as I find you have built it in order to bestow it upon the man who is really contented. Now I am in that state of which I am willing to make oath; you will therefore pleaae sir, to give me immediate possess- ion.'' The count did not interrupt him till he had finished his speech, when he replied, \You are right, sir, with respect to my intentions, but as I do hot discover the least pretension you have to the character of a contented man, I beg you will retire. If you were quite contented, you would not want my house. Choose a wife a« you would a knife—look io the temper. Bells. The nearer bells are hung to the giif- face of the earth, other things being equal the further they can be heard* Franklin has remarked, that, many years ago* -the inhabitants of Philidelphia had a bell im- ported from England. In order to judge of the sound, it was elevated on a triangle, in the great street of the city, and struck, as it happened, on a market day, when.'the people coming to market, were surprised on hearing the sound of a bell at a great- er distance from the city than they had ev* er he^rc? before. This circumstance exciw ted the attention of the curious; and it wag discovered that the sound of the bell, When struck in the street, reached nearly double the distance it did when raised in thef air. . In air, sound travels at the rate of fro'mi' 1,130, to 1,140 feet per second. In water sound passes at the fate of 4,^0$ feet per' second. Sounds are distinct at twioe the* distance on water than on land.
