Rahl to be en tertained by the lovely Miss Wilmot. So deep was he in his cups, that he grew so careless of consequences that he unfolded all his future to the fair girl, and all the rules marked out for the coming campaign, and even the plan of their next day's march, t6 sur prise Washington and the rebel trpops.

And only those who have been kindled into hope again when its last sad spark seemed tram pled out, can anticipate the renewing of a new life throughout the despairing-soldiery of '76, jfrom the Shckin nale of victory that settled above Tren ton that eventful day. Charlotte Wilmot the " Christmas Lottie " of the soldiers, had become the "bright particular star" that beamed! along their difficult' pathway, and the sentinel of the Delaware camip allowed her to lead his heart away, or as the brother officers expressed it,, "allowed her to put it on with his cloak, and he had been shivering ever since."

The idea that Brother Crump was 'drinking too much,' diffuse! itself in the neighborhood, untH, as one might say, it became epidemical. People talked "and talked more especially 'what few of other denominations of Christian there were thereabout.' Brother Noel was 'sore troubled' at the scandal, and more especially re gretted the injury it brought to society at Sharon. So one morning he stepped over to Brother Crump's and found the old man in a doze in the little porch. 'Wont vou take dram ?' asked Brother Crump, as soon as he was made aware of the presoce-of his neighbor. 'Why, yes ; I'm not agin a dram when a body wants it, ' Brother Crump got his bottle, and.i l the friends took a dram apiece. are.

The space was soon overpassed that separated the heroine from the heroes, and Charlotte Wilmot bounded into the camp; with her black curls flying in the wind and her white robe float ing across the Joins of her exhausted horse. One sentinel kept guard around the slumbering patriots, for it was rack for thevoluituaries of imidnight, and the panoply of "unfor - . ... tl A i.

Among the enemies slain, the beau tiful maiden recognized the pallid brow of her sire, and above it she hung with the depation and regret that none save a daughter cotild bestow. And when the order to "inarch" was given, it was, at her own request, and under an escort of her own selection, that the "author of hei being" was placed on a bier, and borne over the hills to the homestead of her childhood. ; The sentinel, actuated by the noble spirit of the young heroine, emulated all others in bravery andintrepidity, and believed himself rewarded for the hardest day's contest, when on the green,; at nightfall " when the patriot soldiers called forth the villade maid ens to join in the dance, he was allow ed to claim "Christmas Lottie" for his partner. Not long after Mr-s Vilmot dotted the military 'cloak and retired to her home on the Delaware, and from that retirement watched with eagerness the progress of the contest, and in many ii -i i'-.. i, -if ways aided and administered to itsiur- thcrance. With an inward satisfaction at her own shrewdness, and a quiet pleasure mingled with some sprightly merri ment, over the former avowal of Col. Rahl, especially when the downfall of his undertaking rendered the footing of the British hirelings unsafe and ru inous. At length the campaign drew near er to its close, and the hero of many a hard fought battle, appointed to an bility on him; I orayed ef I was drink in' too much, for him to take away my appetite for sperits.' Here Brother Noel groaned very piously, and asked: 'What, then, Brother Crump?' 'And,' replied Crump, 'I've prayed that prayer three times, and he hain't done it. So I'm clear of the 'sponsi bility, any way.' , 'The Lord's will- be done I' ejacula ted Noel, and after taking another dram, he went home, thinking all the way how cleverly Brother Crump ljad cleared the responsibility.
