Miscellaneous. From the Ladies1 Companion. The Rescuean Iucideut of the Revolution. BY ROBERT HAMILTON. It was an autumnal evening ; the forests had begun to don their mantles of gorgeous colors. The fields, shorn of their harvest treasures, lay like golden lakelets in the rich and mellow sunset. lhe noble Highlands, like giant warriors, clothed in their panoply of rock and foliage, threw their sullen shad ows far out upon the bosom of the glorious Hudson, who, rolling on in his path of beau ty, gleamed like a fallen rainbow iii the in numcrauio wins ot incidental glory, far in the distance towered the venerable Cro'nest, begirt with a diadem of purple and gold. The first star was twinkling on the brow of twi light, deep dark clouds were encircling the zone of creation, rock and mountain, tree aud shrub hill, dale, valley, and rivulet, all commingled m one hazy softness, rendering it a scene of indescribable loveliues, beauti j. -i :.-!. i - uii us iu muse uays oi primitive innocence, tre sin was known, or desolation and decay had tallen upon the blossoms of our earthly Eden. Such was the evening when a barge the Indian only fell upon her knee, placed her finder on her lips, and by a sign with her hand forbade him to nroceed. 4 What seek you, my wild flower.'' saia the General. She started to her feet, drew a mall tomahawk from her belt of wampum, and imitated the acts of scalping au enemy then again waving her hand as forbidding him to advance, she darted into the bushes, leaving him lost in amazement. "There is danger," said he to himself, after a short pause, and recovering trom nis surprise. That Indian's manner betokens me no good, but my trust is in ixoa ; rie nas never yet deserted me and resuming his path, he shortly reached the mansion of Rufus Uugsdale. " His appearance was the signal tor joy among the party assembled, each of whom vied with th other to do him honor. Al though grave in council, and bold in war, vet in the bosom of domestic bliss no one knew better how to render himself agreeable The old were cheered by his consolatory words; the young by his mirthful manner; nor even in gallantry was he wanting, when it added to the virtuous spirit of the hour. The protestations of friendship and welcome were warmly tendered to him by the host. Fast and thickly the guests were assembling the smile, the laugh, and the mingling music, rose joyously around. The twilight was fast merginS into night, but a thousnnd lamps of sparkling beauty gave a brilliancy of day to the scene all was happiness bright eyes and blooming faces were every where beaming ; but, alas! a serpent was 12 m f' jreor,e, anw - "Never!" exclaimed the General. "We may be cut to pieces, but surrender we will not Therefore give way," and he waved his sword to the guard, who stood with their muskets levelled, as if ready to fire, should Ihey attempt to escape. In an instant were their weapons reversed, and dropping their masks to the horror of Rugsdale, and the agreeable surprise of Washington, his own brave party whom he had left in charge of the barge, stood revealed before him. "Seize that traitor !" exclaimed the com mander. "In ten minutes from this moment, let him be a spectacle between heaven and earth." The wife and daughter clung to his knees in supplication; but an irrevocable oath had passed his lips, that never again should treason receive his forgiveness after that of the miscreant Arnold. ,l 1 or my own life," he said, while the tears rolled down his nnhle countenance, at the agony of the wife and daughter, "for my own life, I heed not, but the liberty of my native land the wel fare of millions, demands this sacrifice for the sake of humanity, I pity him; but, by my oath, and now in the presence of Heaven, I swear I will not forgive him." Like a thunder bolt fell these, words upon the hearts of the wife and daughter. They sank lifeless into the arms of the domestics, and when they recovered to consciousness, Rugsdale had atoned tor his treason sacrifice of his life. ed, was perceptible where it was pulled through the cloth. About his neck he wore a large white cravat, in which his chin was occasion ally buried as he moved his head in conver sation ; no shirt collar was perceptible ; every other person seemed to pride himself upon the size of his, as they were then worn large. Mr Randolph's complexion was pre cisely that of a mummy, withered, saffron, dry and bloodless ; you could not have placed a pin's point on his face, where you would not have touched a wrinkle. His lips were thin, compressed, and colorless ; the chin, will gradually drop in the condition of a thick viscid juice, wtaicn state it appears it will al ways retain ; for Mr Fennell has at the pre sent time some which has been melted for up wards of a year, and has been exposed to all weather without undergoing the slightest change.

In the stern was seated a man of about fifty years of age; his head was uncovered, and re vealed to view a wide and capacious brow his features were marked and masculine; his mouth, which was peculiarly characterized by a closeness of tho lips, gave to him a look of determination, yet which in no way im paired the mild and merciful expression, that reigned over his general aspect. Like the others in the boat, he wore a dark blue coat, with broad bull' facings, closely buttoned to the throat, heavy golden epaulettes, buckskin small clothes, high military boots, with spurs of steel, while a beit of buff encircled his waist, in which was fixed a straight sword. was tne costume oi me personage wno was destined to achieve the liberty of his country, aud to burst the letters of oppression.

He resolved, therefore, to disguise his feelings, and trust to that Power which had never forsaken him. The festivi ties were again renewed, but almost momen tarily interrupted by a second sound of the cannon.

" Come General, pledge me to the success of our arms." The eye of Rugsdale at that moment encountered the scrutinizing look of rvasningion, ana sums to the ground; his hand trembled violently, even to so great a degree as to partly spill the contents of the goblet.

The American ofii cers drew their swords; but Washington, cool and collected, stood with his arms folded on his breast, quietly remarking to them, 'jDe caim, gentlemen ; mis is au honor we did not anticipate."

His long thin legs, about as thick a a strong walking cane, aud of much such a shape, were encased in a pair of small tisht clothes so tight that they seemed part and parcel of the limbs of the wearer. Handsome white stockings were fastened with great tidiness at the knees by a small gold buckle, and over them coming about half way up the calf, were a pair oi wnar, i oelieve, are called hose, coarse and country knit. He wore shoes. They were old fashioned, and fastened also with buckles huge ones. He trod like an IT . inuiau, wunout turning his toes out, but planking them down straight ahead. It was the fashion in those days to wear a fan-tailed coat with a small collar, and buttons far apart behind and tew on the breast Mr Randolph's were the reverse of this, and instead of his coat being fan-tailed, it was what, we believe, the knights of the needle call the collar was immensely large, the buttons behind were in kissing proximity, and they 8ai '"b1-1"" "s -iose on tne breast of the gar ment as the feasters at a crowded public fes uvdi. xxis waist was remarkably slender so slender that, as he stood with his arms L 1 mKn tla pnnld enn.l..

"The Pat riarch," a Magazine just published, offers the following receipt for the selection of a wife " A place for every thing aud every thing in its place," said the patriarch to his daugh ter. Select a wife, my son, who will never step over a broomstick." The . son was obedient to the lesson. Now. said hn. pleasantly, on a gay May day, to one of his companions, I appoint this broomstick to choose me a wife. The young ladv who will not step over it shall have the offer of mv hand. They passed from the splendid saloon to the grove ; some stumbled over the broom stick, and others jumped it. At length a young lady stooped and put it in its place. The promise was fulfilled. She became the wife of an educated wealthy young man, and he the husband of a prudent, industrious and lovely wife. He brought a fortune to her. and she knew how to save one. It is nni easy to decide which was under the greatest obligations. Both were rich, and each en riched the other. A Fair Retort.

If such of our Democratic friends whose circumstances do not justify a subscription to a daily paper, will patronize the cheaper publications issued by vis the Extra Globe, aud the Appendix we snau oe enabled to maintain, as heretofore, our corps of Congressional Reporters at the cost of $3,000 per annum, and to draw to our aid some of the ablest pens in our country. e trust, under these circumstances, ana ai a time when the greatest interest ot the country, and its future destiny, are put at stake upon the events with which tho first year of the pre sent Administration is pregnant, that no in dividual who has the cause of Democracy at heart, will hesitate to meet this appeal, when at the same time he will feel assured that this trilling tax for his own advantage, will sus tain in triumph at Washington the long-tried and faithful press of his party. The EXTRA GLOBE will be published weekly for six months, commencing on Wed nesday, the 19th of May, and ending on the 19th November next, making twenty-six numbers, the last of which will contain an index. Each number will contain sixteen royal quarto pages. It will contain princi pally political matter. The political aspect and bearing of the measures before Congress during the special session will be fully devel oped, and when the proceedings are consid ered of much interest to the public, they will be given at length. The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX will begin with tho extra ses sion of Congress, to commence on Monday, the 31st of May next, and will be continued during the session. The Congressional Globe will give an impartial history of the proceed ings of both Houses of Congress; and the Appendix will contain all the speeches on both sides, of important subjects, at full length, as written out, or revised, by the mem bers themselves. Ihey will be printed as fast as the business of the two Houses furnishes matter for a number. It is certain that wn will publish more numbers of each than there will be weeks in the session. They will be issued in the same form as the Extra Globe, aud a copious index to each. Nothing but the proceedings and speeches of Congress will be admitted into the Congressional Globe or Appendix. lhese works being printed in a suitable form for binding, with copious indexes, will form a valuable, indeed, a necessary, append age to the library of the statesman and politi cian, giving, as they do, at an extremely mod erate price, a complete epitome of the political and legislative history of the period.
