I j JRwas an autumnal evening the forest had begun to don their mantles of sorireous colors. TheJ fields shorn of their harvest treasures, lay like golden tablets in the rich and mellow sunset. The noble Highlands, I.ke giant warriors, clothed io their panoply of roctc and foliage, threw thoff sudden s iad bws far oat upon the tosom of the glonous Hudjbn,"wbo rolling on in his path ?of beauty, 'gleamed like a fallen rainbow in the innumerable tints of accidental glorv. Far in the distant towered the venefrable Cronest, begirt with a diadem of purple and gold. The first star was twinkling on tha brow of twilight, deep dirk clondsj vere encircling the zone of creahon, rock; and mountain, tree and shrub, hill, dale, vultey and rivulet, and commingled in one! iaz softness, rendering t a scene of indescriba ble; loveliness, beautiful as in those daysof primitive innocence, ere sin was known, ;or desolation and decay, had fallen upon the bosoms of our earthly Eden. Sucbj Was the evening when a . barge was seen to leave the promontory of VVest Point, in the oeigh borhod of which, we locate our narrative, in the year 1782. In it were several prrsons attired in the military costume 'f thit period,' who with well measured strokes of their oars, made it dart over the golden waters like a ray of light. In the stern was seated a man of about fifty years of age, his head was uncovered, and reveal ed to view a wide and capacious brow his features were marked and masculine, his mouth -' inch as peculiarly character ized by a closeness of the lips, gave to him a look of determination, one which i;n no way impaired tho mild and merciful expres sion which reigned over his general aspect. Like the other in the boat, he wore a1 dark blue coat with broad buff facings, closely buttoned to the throat, heavy golden epau leits, buckskin small clothes high military boots, with spurs of steel, while a belt of buff encircled his waist, in which was fixed a stiaight sword. Such was the costume of the personage who was destined to achieve the liberty of his country, and to burst the fetters of oppression. Reader, need) we say who it was ? Io.,Siui minds eye," dqca be not stand before you ? Is not ;his name the watchword of your Independence, and his memory enshrined in the heiirf of every son of freedom ? It .was Washington. J. As the barge gained the opposite bank, I j one of the rowers leaped ashore, andhad made fast to the root of a j willow' which hung its broad thick branches over the river The rest of the party then landed, and un covering saluted their commander wiore spectfully returned thir courtesy. 1 j ; Uv ten o ciocK you may expect me, said Washington. Be caution? -ldok well that ou are not surprised. These are no limes fr'trlllng.,, j I I ' Depend upon us,' replied ooe of the parly.' - j . " I do,,T he responded, and biddingslhem farewell departed along tlie bank of the river' - ' ! - .11' Tliat evening a parly w lo be gtve4 at the house of one of his old 4 valued friiends, to which he, wilh several iother American officers, had been invited.! It was seldom that he had participated in festivity, more especially at that period when every ipo ment was fraught with danger ; neverfhe less in respect to an old arqomntance, Mfk ed by the solintations d Kaby Rugs(ale, the daughter of the host, be had consented to relax from the toils of military duty, and honor the patty, for lew hours, with! hii presence. I After continuing his path, for some dis tance, along the river's fcide he frtruck off into a narrow road, boroired thickly jjwiih biushwood, tinged wilha Ihoirsand dyes of departed summer here and there ijjf'grey crag peeped out frc in the foliage, over which the green ivy and thescarlet woodbine hong in wrealby dalliance ; at other places, the arms of tbe chesnut and mountain ash met in leafy fondness Md cast a gloom deep al most 13 tiigtil. Suddenly a crashing; among F -It 1 ihe branches was beard, and like; a deer, ",a young lodtan girl- bounded into j the path, and stood full in his presence. v lie started ;with surprise, laitl-fcis hand upon InV sword but the Indian onU fell, upon her knee, placed her finger on her Jips,,andiby a sigo with her hand, forbade bitn lo proceed ; 44 VhH seek ton my wild flower Vy szid the Ueneral.. She started to.hei feet, drew a small tomahawk from her belli of, want pjui, and luiilated the art . of: scalping tbe euetny then agtin waving her hand as for. bidding hi-n to advance, she darted into the bushes, leaving him lost in amazement. , 4There is danger," said he . to himself, after a fhort pause, and recovering from his surprise. Thai Ind tan V marine betokens me oo good, but my trust is 'in i God ; he has never yet deserted me" and resuming his path, be shortly reached the mansion of Rufus Rugsdale. trv His appearance was the signal for joy among the party assembled, each; of whom vied with the other to do bun boner. Al through grave in council, and bold in war, yet In the bosom of domestic bliss, no one knew better how to render himself agreea ble. The old were cheeted by hiconsoli tary words. The young by his mirthful manner, or even in gallantry was be wanting, when it added to the spirit of the hour. The protestations of friendship and welcome were warmly tendered to him by tbe host. Fast and thickly the guests were assembling the smile, the laugh, and ihe mingling mu sic, rose joyously around. The twilight was fast merging into night, but ai thousand lamps of sparkling beauty gave a 'brilliancy of day lo the scene all was happiness bright eyes and blooming faces were every whero beaming but alas ! a serpent was lurking among the flowers. , t In the midst of tbe' hilarity, the sound of a cannon burst suddenly upon the car, startling the guests, and suspending tbe dance. Washington and the officers look ed at each other with surprise, but their fears were quickly dispelled, Rugsdale assuring it was only a discharge of ordnance in hon or of his distinguished visitors, i The joy of the moment was again resumed, . but the gloom of suspicion had fallen upon the spi rit of Washington who sat in moody silence apart from the happy throng. A slight lap upon his shoulder at length aroused hitu from hit abstraction, and look ing of! he perceived the person of the lrr dian standing in the bosom of the myrtle bush close to his side. ;Ha ! again here ?' he exclaimed with astonishment, but she motioned him to be silent, aud kneeling at his-feet, presented him with a booqet of flowers. Washing ton received it, and was about to place it in his breast, whenjiie QZ firmly by the arm, and polnlft d 10 a whisper, Snakel SriakeA Xinexi moment mingled witv the j ho appeared to recognize and one well known and estevraed. Washington regarded the boont wonder; he saw nothing in it to excite his suspicion ; her words aud singular appear ance had however sunk deeply! into his heart, and looking closer upon the nosegay to his surprise he saw a small piece of pa. per in the midst of the fl:iwers. Hastily he dretv it forth, and confounded and hor ror stricken, read Beware ! you are be trayed V It was now apparent ttiat he was within the den of the tiger, but tb quit it abrnp'tly, might only draw the consumma tion of' treachery, the speedier jupon his bead. He resolved, therefore, tcj disguise his Teelings, and trust to that po wer which had never tfbrsakeriltim The (festivities were again renewed, but almost momenta rily interrupted by a second sodhd of the cannons"; The guests now began to regard each other with distrust, while many and moody were the glances cast upon Rogs dale, whose 'countenance began to show ypmloms of uneasiness, while ever and a nou he looked from the window !out upon the broad green'lawn which extended lo the river's edge, as if in expectation of some one's arrival, What can detain them ?' he mutterred to himself. 'Can they tiave deceived me? Why answer they not the signal V At that luoment a bright fldoie rose froiu; the river, illuminating, fur a moment the surrounding scenery,and showing a small boatjfilled wilh persons, making rapidly towards! the eore Airs well he continued , in ihree min utes I shall be tlie possessor of a cor net. antl the cause of the Republic be; no more.

Like a thunderbolt Tell these words upon the hearts of the wife and daughter. They sank lifeless into the arms of ihe domestics, and when they recovered to consciousness Rusdale bad atoned for his treason by the saciifice of his life. it appeared that the Indian girl, who was an especial favorite, and domesticated in the famiiT, had overheard the intention of Rugsdale, to be'ray the American General, and other valuable officers that'evening, in to the hands of the British, for which pur pose, they had been invited lo lhis feast of Judas. if Hatiug, in her heart, the ene rgies ofAmerica, who had driven her tribe from their native forests, she resolved to frustrate the design and consequently way laid the steps of Washington as we have described, but failing in her noble purpose, sho had then recourse to the party left in possessjon of thei boat. Scarcely had she imparted her informa tionand the shadows of the night closed around, when a company of British soldiers were discovered making their Hvay rapidly towards the banks of the Hudson, within a short rJistance of "the spot where the A merican party waittng the return of their commander.

One night in July, 1753, the'fiogs of an artificial pond about three miles square and about five miles fromWindham, finding the water dried up, left the place in a body aod inarched, or rather hopped towards Minno. mantic river. They were under the neces sity of, going through the town, which they entered about midnight. The bull frogs Were the leaders, and tho pipers followed Without number.

Some ; Expected to find an army of French and In- dims, others feared en earthquake or dis solution of nature. Old and young, male and female, fled hastily from their beds with worse fbtiekings than thoso of the frogs The men, after ihe flight of half a mil, in whit li they met with many broken suio, finding no eoeniies in pursuit of them, made l Iftmn I Aiiurii I riloiirro ma t r ha irtrreaa 1 " v .rt.:..r iLi ...!,.. i return hack to their wives and children. . w ' Mr lin 1 moment encountered the scrutinizing look of Washington, and sunk to the ground; his hand trembled violently even to so great a degree as lo paitly spill the contents of ihe goblet With difficulty h conveyed it to his lips, then retiring to the window, he waved his hand, which action was im mediately responded to by a third sound of the connon, at the saroa moment the Eng lish am hern of God gave the King burt in full volume upon the ear, and a band of men, attired in British uniform with their faces hidden by mask entered the upartment The American officers drew their swords but Washington, coot and collected; stood with bis arms folded upon his breast quiet ly remarking to them, "Becalm gentlemen this is tin honor we did not anticipate.
