MISCELLANY. THE HERO WOMAN.. A ltgend from a Lecture on the u Sxencs of . - ike Revolution. : --r-- 1 . .' , BT EORGK LIFFARD, ESQ. - In a thick - wood, not more than ha! a snira from the Schuykill, there atood in the time of the Revolution, a quaint old fabric, built of mingled logs and stone, and encir cled by a palisaded wall. It had been erec ted in the earlier days of William Penn, perhaps some years before the great a. postle of peace first tried oor shores, as a block-house, intended for defence against h. Indians. . . , . - . - And cow it stood with its many roofs, numerous chimneys, its . massive square windows, its varied front of logs and stone, its encircling wall, through which admit tance was gained; by a large and stoutly built gate : it stood - in ; the midst of the "wood, with age-worn trees enclosing its veteran outline ori every side. From its easteru window you might ob tain a glimpse of -the Schuykill wares while a large casement in the southern front commanded a view of the winding road, and it sunk out of view, under the shade of thickly-clustered boughs, into a deep hollow, not more than one hundred yards from the mansion. ' Here, from the southern casement, on one of those balmy summer days which look in, upon the dreary autumn, toward the close of November, a farmer's daughter was gazing, with dilating eyes and half clasped hands. s.i?2J..; I ' - IT Well might she gaze earnestly to the southland gaze with painful intensity for the slightest sound ! ' Her brothers were a way with the arrdy of Washington and her father a grim old Veteran be stood six feet and three inchea in .his tockings who bad manifested his love for the redcoat in vaders, in many' a desperate contest, bad. that morning left her alone in the old roans ion, alone in this smalt chamber, in charge of-some amunition intended flor a band of brave farmers, about to join the boats of frreedoav. Evert its she stood there gazing out of the southern window, a faint glimpse of sun-light,' from the faded leaves above, pouring over her toild face, shaded by clus tering brown .hair, thece, not ten paces frSm her side, were seven loaded rifles and A-keg of jpwder.j C: ' - ' ' ' '"1. T " 1 - Leaning from the easement, she listened with, every nerve quivering with suspense, to the shouts of combatants, the hurried tread of armed men echoing from the south There was something, very beautiful in tbat picture ! The form of the young girl, framed by the square massive window, the contrast between the "rough timbers, that enclosed her, and that rounded face, the lips parting, the hazel eye dilating, and the cbeek warming arid flushing, with hope and fear ; there was something very beau; tiful in that picture, a young girl leaning from the windowjof an old mansion, with her brown hair,! waving in glossy masses around ber.face f. -V i Suddenly : the shouts to the south grew nearer, and, then emerging from the deep bollow there came an old man, running at full speed, yet, every few 'paces, turning to fire the rifle,, which he loaded as be ran. He wa pursued by a party, of ten or more British soldiers, who came rushing on,' their bayonets fixed, as if to stnke their victim ydewn, ere he advanced ten paces nearer the houseJ. . " ' . . On arid on the old man came, while hie daughter, quivering "with suspense, hang leaning from the window ; he reaches the block-hotJke'gale-t-ook He Js surround ed, thetr muskets are levelled at his head, he is downj down at their feet, srrappling for bis life t But look again I He dashes bis foes aside, with one bold movement he sprnsra thouffb the gate: an instant: and it is locked ; the British soldiers, mad with rage, geze upon the nigD watt ot togs and stone, and rent 1Ttieir anger Jin drunken curses. " .. r Now look to yonder window!- Where the young girl stood a moment ago,' qui v- ennr wan suspense, as sne Deneid ber fa. ther struggling for his life, qdw stands that old man his brow bared, bra arm grasping the rifle, while bis grey hairs wave back from his wrinkled and blood-dabbled face f That was a fine picture of an .old veteran, nerved for ! his last fight ; a. stout warrior, prepannf for hia death Btrturgle, Deathstrugg1e t.

There was scarcely a hope . for the old man, and yet he bad determined to make a desperate right - ; "We must bluff off these rascals 1" he said with a grim smile, turning to bis child u Now, Bess, my girl, when I fire ibis rifle, do you band me another, and so on until the whole eight shots are fired f That will keep them on the other side of the wall, for a few moments, at least, and then we will have to trust to God for the rest I" Look down here and see a hand steal ing over the edge of the wall I The old man levels bis piece that Brit iah trooper falls back with a crushed hand upon his comrade's heads ( No longer quivering with suspense, but grown suddenly firm, that young giri pass es a loaded rifle to the- veteran s grasp, and silently waits the result For a moment all is silent below, the British bra voes are somewhat loathe to try that wall, when a stout old u Rebel rifle in hand, is looking from vonder window!

A moment, and the - bolt and the lock will be burnt from its sockets the passage will be free ! Now is the fiery moment of the old man's trial ! While his brave daughter loads, he con tinues to fire, with that deadly aim, but now oh horror! He falls, he falls, with musket ball driven into bis breast the daughter's out-stretched arms receive the father, as, with the blood spouting from his wound, be topples back from the win dow. Ah, it is a sad and terrible picture t That old man, writhing there on the oaken floor, the young .daughter bending over mm, the light from tbe window stream mg over ner lace, over her fathers grey oairs, wnue the ancient furniture of 'the small chamber affords a dim background to tbe scene! Now hark f the sound of axes at the halt door shouts hurras curses 1 ""' "We have the old rebel, at last 1" .. , The old man raises his - head at that sound, makes an effort to rise; clutches for a rifle, and then falls back again, his eyes glaring, as the fierce pain of that wound quivers through bis heart Now watch the movements of that daughter.' Silently she loads a rifle, she rests it barrel against the head of that pow. der-keg, and then, placing' her finger on the trigger, stands over her father's form while tbe shouts of tbe enraged soldiers come thundering from the stairs; Yes, they have broken tbe hall door to' frag ments, they are in possession of the old block-house, tbey are .rushing toward that chamber, with murder in their hearts, and in their glaring eyes f Had the old man a thousand lives, they were not worth a far things purchase now, '. .-I, , - ? .-- '" Still that girl grown suddenly white as-the kerchief round ber' oecketands there, trembling from bead to foot, the rifle in her hand, its dark tube laid against tbe powder-keg ' r-'- v - y- " f -The door is burst opei look thare ! stoat forms are in the doorway, with mus kets in their : bands, grim . faces, stained with: blood, glare into tbe room. : -I Now, as if her very soul was coined in to the words, that young girL 'with her face pale as ashes, her hazel eye, glaring with deathly Iiht. utters' thi short -ret I tnMn. ; i- - meaning speech- will fire this rifle into the powder there V Now oath quivers from the lips of that girl to confirm her resolution, but there she stands, alone, with her wounded father, and yet not a voldier dare cross tbe thresh! hold i Embruted as tbey are in deeds ol blood, there is something terrible to these men in tbe simple words ol that young girl, who stands there, with the rifle laid against tbe powder-keg. 1 bey stood, as if spell bond, on the thres hold of that chamber!
