Washington Irving, in his Life of
Washington, gives the following spirit
ed account of the battle of Benning
ton: '
In the mean time the more alert and
active Aniericcns had been mastering
from all quarters to Stark's assistance,
with such weapons aa they had at hand.
During the night of the 15th, Colonel
Symonds arrived with a body of Berk
shire millitia. Anions them was a
belligerent parson, full of fight, Allen
by name, possibly of the bellicose
family of the hero of Ticondcrago.
"General," cried he, "the people of
iierkskire have been often called ont
to no purpose; if you don't give them
a chance to fight now, they will never
turn out again." "You would not turn
would you?" demanded Stark. "Not
just now," was the reply. "Well, if
the Lord should once more give U3
sunshine, and I don t give you fight
ing enough," rejoined the veteran, "I'll
never ask you to turn out again.
On the following morning the sun
shone bright, and Stark prepared to
attack Baum in ' his intrenchments;
though he had no artillery, and his
r-H. for, the mo?t part, had only their
i-1. -
dred, under' Colonel Herrick, to the
rear of liis rightj they were to join
their forces and attack him in the
rear, while Colonels Hubbard and
Stickney, with two hundred men, di
verted his attention in front. .
"Colonel Skeno ancl the royalists,
when they saw the Americans issuing
out of the woods on different sides,
persuaded themselves, and endeavored
to persuade Baum, that these were the
loyal people of the country flocking to
his standard. I he Indians were the
first to discover the truth. "The woods
are full of - Yankees." cried they, and
retreated in -single file, bet ween the
roops of iNichols and Harriet, yelling
ike demons and jingling cow bells.
Several of them, however were killed
or wounded as they thus ran the
gauntlet. J
At the first sound of fire-arms, htark,
who had remained with the main body
in camp, mounted his horse and gave
the word, foricad! He had promised
his men the plunder of the British
camp. Ihe homely, speech made by
him when in sight of the enemy, has
often been cited: "Now, my men, there
are the redcoats! Before night they
hnust be ours, or Molly Stark will be a
widow I '
Baum .soon found himself assailed
on every side, but he defended his
works bravely. His two pieces 01
artillery, advantageously planted, were
very effective, and his troops, if slow
in march, were steady in action. . For
two hours the discharge of fire-arms
was said to havebeen like the constant
rattlic of the drum. , btark, in his
dispatches, compared it to a "continued
clap. of thunder." It was the hottest
fight he had ever seen. He inspired
hfs men with his own impetuosity.
Thev drove the royalist troops upon
Hessians, and pressing after them
stormed tho works with irresistible fury.
A Hessian eye witness declares that
this time the rebels fought with desper
ation pressing within eight paces of
the loaded cannon to take sure aim at
the artillerists. The latter were slain; ,
the cannon captured. The rayalists
fend Canadians took' to flight, and
escaped to the woods. ' The jGrermans
still kept their ground, ana lought
bravely, till there was not a cartridge
left. ' Baum and his dragoons then
took to their broadswords and the in
fantry to t'iieir bayonets, and endeavor
ed to cut their way to a road in the
woods, bus in vain; many were killed,
more wounded, Baum among the num
ber, all who survived were taken pris
oners. -

but Mary Anna, like other men, had
been upon a tram; and on that train
poor Mary Ann allowed herself to
steal, a pair cf ear-rings (and perhaps
a ring and seal:) but scarce had ;got
possession of these articles of gold,
and tried to sell them when alas! she
found herself was sold. And Marv
Stone was brought before the Justice
bold and grim, no mercy nor a hope
for thieves was ever found in him;
and women swore that Mary stole, and
Mary wept and cried, but murmured
not her sorrow that the raw she had
defied; and then the Judge with pomp
and power, with circumstance and pride,
found Mary guilty of the crime and
thus did he decide: Oh ! Mary Stone
thou'rt going, to wreck, vileness and to
ruin, and in the distance I perceive,
much sorrow to you brewin'; and so to
keep you out of scrapes, from tempting
and from sin, three months at. work
and labor, doth the law confine you in
the workhouso where the men are
sober, and the women chaste, and let
your crime induce the hope of virtuous
thoughts at last. Moral No matter

came before the magistrate to make a
complaint. , Her counsel stated that in
December, 1852, she became encienle,
and entered the Sunderland workhouse,
where she gave birth to a fine, healthy
emale child. Mrs. Davison who
was -.acquainted-with her, called to
see her at the workhouse. Mrs. Davison
then appeared as if in a state of preg
nancy, caused, as it afterwards turned
out, by pillows and padding. : Mrs.
Davison then stated to the young girl
that she lived unhappily with her hus
band owing to her not having any
children, and he frequently beat her
for ;no other reason. Sho asked the
girl if she would let her have the child,
which was then about a week old, and
she would bring it carefully up, and
also make her husband believe that she
had been delivered of it in his absence.
She would consider it a particular
favor, as it would cause her to live
more happily with her husband, - The
child, she said, could be seerfby its
mother whenever she thought : proper
to visit it. ; To this proposition the girl
agreed, and gave Mrs. Davidson the
child. Mr. Davison returned home,
and was quite delighted with the "y c ung
stranger." For a time all went smooth
ly on; the mother frequently saw' the
child, which wa3 treated with every
kindness. Ultimately, however, the
young mother got married to a ship
wright (Fenwick-,) who, when he learnt
the story, expressed a great desire to
have the child brought home. Mrs.
Davison, after the mother's manage,
refused to allow her to see tho child,
and. therefore, Mrs. Fenwick went to
Mrs. Davison's house, aud during her
temporary absence ran off with the
child. -When Mrs. Davison returned
she was greatly alarmed at h?r loss,
and went to Mrs. Fcnwick's house and
took 1 away the child. The pother,
being determined not to be outdone,
went again to the other woman'shouse
and stole the child a second time.
She was afterwards followed by Mrs.
Davison and her husband, wbo'claim ed
the child, but this time the mother had
the chilli safe. From violent words
they came to blows. Mrs. Davison
gave Mrs. ienwicK a severe sealing;
the parties had several battles during
the day 'about this mysterious child,
and at length the police were called in,
and loth parties were taken to the
rolicc station. Mrs. Fenwick, who
Lad tho child in her arms, stoutly main
tained that she gave birth to it in 1853.
Mrs. D.iviicn as stoutly assorted that
she gave birth to the child in 1S52,
and that the child was now four years
of age.-' Mrs. Fenwick declared that
this statement was entirely fahe. The
A
ether.
and exenar.ged strange compliments.
The chill had a strong resemblance to
Mrs.rcnwlck, was respectably drcrsed,
and kid a healthy appearance. ' The
magistrate said that it va3 quite im
possible to deci le who was the mother
of the child, and therefore they advised
Mrs. Davison to allow Mrs. Fenvackto
keep the child, and not to interfere
with her in future. This singular case
was then'dismisjed, and Mrs.Fcnwic!
The following fact, communicated
by a .foreign correspondent, show3
alike the blessings of Sunday schools
to children and the influence which
even these "little ones" may exert upon
others for good :
In the city of London, there lived
a little girl, who attended for three
years, and by stealth, the teachings of
a Sunday school. Coming under' the
saving influence of truth, she became
concerned for her fathera noted in
fidel, and active opposer to Christian
ity. She obtained a Bible, but knew
not how to put it Into his hands; for
she feared his displeasure, and dreaded
any prohibition which might deprive
her of. the prized advantages of the
bunday school, fcho retired, to seek
divine guidance. Her father, passing
the door of the arartmcnt, heard the
voice of his child; it was the voice of
prayer-she prayed for him. lie be
came affected, agitated, ilisErcssedi
After t .little, the family assembled at
the tea-table: thebevcrage was handed
round, but he could not pertake. '
"Is there a Bi sic In the house?" he
said.
"My dear," replied his wife, ap
prehensive of the purposed repitition
of the act, "did you not burn every
Bible that we had, not leaving even
one?" "Is there a good book, then?"
he inquired. ' Hi3 little daughter, think
ing that God mifflit be answering her
prayer, arose, took him by the hand,
asked him to go with her, and "when
they had!oftthd room, looking into hi?
him and gave him the Bible, which for
this very purpose die had procured.
He felt deeply, and, trcmi;n wliilo
he handed it back to her, sait), 'av
child, I can not read this book, will you
read it for me?" She did so, and then
taking her in hi3 arms, he kissed her,
and said, "Tell me, my child, where
did you get this book, and how did you
obtain the knowledge of it?"
She told him all, how she attended
the Sunday school, the effect Upon
herself, and how site became concerned
for his salvation. Ifcat very evening
That
he accompanied her to the chapel As
they entered the minister, was engaged
in prayer; his manner and address
nude a powerful impression on. the
father s mind, lor he seemed to wain
with God; the sermon aided in deep
ening the impression; it wa3 an inter
esting sight when, two'or three San
days afterwards, that father appeared
in that chapel, with hi.3 wife and nine
children, and openly renounced his
infidelity. That was the Weigh House
Chapel, the minister, Thoma3 Binney;
and that infidel, reclaimed through the
influence of Sunday school instruction
on the heart of hi3 child, was the cele
brated author of "Tho Evcry-Day
Book."
Tasixcj up the Cross. A good old
lady whoha3 lived past her threescore
years and t en, slid to me a few days
since: "Tho reason why professing
Christians cannot take up their daily
eros3 is, because they do not deny
themselves. If they would first deny
themselves then they wouhl be ready
to take ilp their every cro?3 and per
form every known duty.. Ve must
attend to all our duties in the order in
which they are placed in the Bible.
'If any man will come
