THE BOY PATRIOT.
In the year 177G Philadelphia was in
he hands of Howe and his inhuman sol
diery, while the field of Brandy wine gave
American people an evidence of British
iumanity. The inhabitants of PeLnsyl-
ania and Delaware were at the mercy
of ihiir foes. Bands of Hessian dra
goons scouted the vicinity of Philadelphia
for miles arounJ, and committed acls
whirh would disgrace a Vandal.
On the evening of a delightf ul autumn
day, a grcupe of boys, ranging in age
from twelve to seventeen years, were
gathered together on tbe steps of a ten
antless storehouse in .the little village of
Newark, Delaware. The town seemed
lonely, and, with the exception of the
youihful band referred to, not a human
being met the eye. All the men capable
of bearing arms, had left their homes tu
join the army of Washington on the
ischujlltill. A youth of sixteen, mount
ed on a barrel, was piving an account cf
the disaftrcus battle of Brandywine. -James
Wilson, the orator, was a bold boy
enthusiastic in his love for the Ameri
can cause, and possessed of no little in
telligence. His bright blue eyes and
flaxen hair gave him an effeminate ap
appearauce, but beneath the plain, home
spun jacket, throVbed a heart that never
never fhrat.k before any obstacle. His
father was commander of the Delaware
troops, and his' mother was dead. He
concuded his narative and was deeply la
menting that he could not join the army.
"I am not old enough," said he, "but had
I a musket, I would not stand idle here,
with my hands useless by ray side."
'Are there no guns of any descrip
tion in the village?" asked a .listening
vouih.
"None. I have spent nearly a week
trying to find one, but my efforts have
been of no avail. I strongly suspect the
Tory Livirgiton, has several in his house
but as be permits no one to trespass upon
his premises, I am unable to say posi
tively.' 'Why no', take a party and search his
dwelling ?" exclaimed Frank Howard ;
"l e has no cne there to assist him ex
cept his cowardly son George and I can
thrash him as easy as that," and the toy
snapped his fingers to imply the readi
ness with which he could trounce old Liv
ington'sson. If there are any threo boys in this
company uho will help me, I will search
old Livington's house this night. All who
are willing to go, just come forward three
paces."
Every boy in the crowd stepped for
ward three paces without a moment's hes
itation. James" eyes flashdd.
"Now, by the dead of Banker Hill, I
will search old Livington's residence
though death stands in my path."
With a .firm tread, and with the ut
most silence, the youDg heroes tock up
their march for old Livingston's- Liv
ingston had long been suspected of har
boring BrMsh spies, and oorae of his
j former laborers had reported that he kept
i up a regular correspondence with tbe
British commander. At all events, he
was generally regarded by the Whigs as
a dangerous man. His house was situ
ated a short distance from White Clay
Creejf, on the side of a steep hill sur
rounded on all sides by the trees. It was
just such a place as one might suppose
suitable for the plotting of treason. .
At the time James Wilson and his lit
tle band .left the deserted store house in
the village of Newark, dusk had givea
place to the dark shades of night. Sjill
it was not dark; the. new moen was shin
ing brightly through the clouds, and ev
ery object wa3 perfectly distinguishable.
The loys walked firmly forward, main
taining solemn silence. At length they
gained, the bend of the creek, and slow
ly followed the winding path, soon tame
to a little low bridge which crossed a
a shallow rivulet leading into Whi'.y Clay
! and James ordered them to halt.
Let Frank Howard and myself rec
onnoiter the premises first, to see wheth
er any danger may be apprehended.'
All the rest stand here till we return.
Make no noise, and keep a constant;
watch." !
- James'and Frank silently departed,!
and were soon lot in the thick woods
through which the path run. Scarce had
they gone from their compaion3, ere the
qujck tar of Wrilsoo detected a noise.
Hist!" said he to Frank, as he pulled
up behind a gigantic beech tree. Pres
ently George Livingston came in sight.
James Wilson darted from his cover, and
tighily grasped the boy by the neck. The
cowardly youth tremble like a reed.
"Speak one word," whispered his cap
tor, "and I'll toss you into the creek,"
The Tory's son, struck dumb, with
fright, found himself in the midst of the
boy heroes, with the vice-like grasp of
of James and Frank on either -arm,
Now, said James answer me prompt
ly and truljr, or I'll make your position
uncomfortable. Who are in your fath
er's house at this house at this moment ?
"I I cannot tell," stammered the
half dead boj'."
"You shall, or
Spare me, and I'll tell everything.
When I. left the house there was no one
there but our family and Major Bard
stone." "Who is he?" asked James.
"I doa't know I don't indeed."
"Tell!" threatened Frank.
"He is Captain of the Yorkshire dra
goons." The blue eyes of James glistened with
joy, and he soon pained from the Tory's
son a revalation which stamped his fath
er a traitor of the most appalling charac
ter. He discovered that old Livingston
not only kept up a correepondence with
the British commander, but that he had
so plotted in his traitorous design that
the little village of Newark was to be
burned to ashes, and its women and chil
dren left exposed to the pitiless foe.
The old Tory was to rec?ive as his com
pensation the land whereon the village
stood, and an annual pension from the
British government.
But stranger than all, the plot was to
be consummated on the very night the
Tory's son had been captured, while he
was going on an errand to a neighbor
about twp miles distant. The little
band of heroes learned, too, that the
British troops had secured their horses
in Livinnston's stable, and intended to
descend the creek in a large boat. There
were twenty of them besides their Cap
tain.
Major Bradslpne, the leader of the
band, was, in temper and heart, a very
demon, and scrupled not in his oruelty
to destroy the slumbering infant or the
sick wife. Not a few in that youthful
baud trembled for a widowed mother or
a defenceless sister. Some'were for de
parting immediately, but James Wilson,
still retaining the grasp on the. Tory's
son, ordered them to-be quiet. The pris
oner was bounoV hand and foot, and a
thick handkerchief bound ov er his mouth
to prevent him from calling for assistance
and a stout cord fastened to his breast,
and wound about a tree. All hope of
escape forsook GeorgeLivingstone. Wil
son motioned to his little band to follow
him, and in a few moments they stood on
the summit of a high precipice which
overhung White Clay Creek.
"Now boys," said Wilson, "the nara
tive which we have just heard is true,
and as we have no muskets or arauni
lion, we must make the best of the occa
sion. The British band will pass this
spot in their boat, and as we have an
hour to work, let us make haste and roll
some of these large rocks to the edge of
the precipice, and when the red -coats
pass below, let us sihk them to the hot
torn." ' . V . " . ' '
Each boy irr.mediately set to work, and
in an incredible short space.of lime, nine
huge rocks, each half a ton in weight,
were balanced upon the edge of ' the gi
ant precipice. The creek at this point
was not more than twenty1 feet wideband
by a mass of rock on 'which, our heroes
stoo'd. If the British descended the
creek they would certainly pass this spot
and if they passed it, then death was
their certain fate. In about an'hour the
quick ar of Wilson detected the meas
ured beat of the muffled oar.
"They are coming,", he whispered
"let no one drop his .rock till I give the
word, and then oil at once.
Peeping cautiously over the clifts, he
saw the Tory boat slowly but . surely ap
paoaching. An officer stood on the bows
guiding the oarsmen by his orders,, and
the epulets on his should eas told that he
was the identical Mojor Bardstone.
Don't drop till I give the oder,' again
whispered Wrilson.
When the boat was about twelve feet
from the rock, the boy leader fell secure
ly behtnd the stout defence and shouted:
'Who goes there?"
In a moment th&-arsmen ceased row-
ing, and gazed with astonishment around
them. The impetus which the boat had
acquired caused it to drift slowly beneath
the rock, and just as it-was fairly below,
came forth the loud doomed words, 'Cut
loose in the name of liberty!"
Each boy pushed his rock at that in
stant ; and as if with one impulse the
gigantic stones fell. Aloud shriek from
the dark waters told how well the plan
succeeded, and as the exultant boys a
gain looked over the rocks, nothing was
was seen but a few pieces of wood.
The boat was burst in pieces, and ihe oc
cupants found a watery grave at the bot
tom of day Creek. A cry of victorp
burst from the joyous lips of the youth
f ul patriots, and was echoed along in sol
emn grandeur.
"Now or etir prisoner!" cried Frank
Howard, bounding ahead; but what was
the astonishment of the boys to find that
in his efforts to get free, George Livings
ton had been caught by the fatal cord and
choked to death. There was no time for
repining; the traitor and his son had met
their deserved doom, and there was no
one to mourn their loss.
Such be the end of America's foes for
ever!" said Wilson.
Old Livingston's house was searched,
and to the surprise of every one, not on
ly guns, but three brass field-pieces, sev
eral barrels of powder and balls, were
concealed in the Tory's cellar. The mil
itary stores found here were given over
to the American troops, and found a joy
ous welcome at head quarters. Had not
the British party , been so signally de
feated alone the banks of White Clay,
the whole northern part of the State of
Delaware would have been overrun by
the predatory bands of British soldiers.
Jame3 Wilson and Frank Howard both
joined the army of Greene, and served
with distinction in the Southern cam
paign. Frank fell in the memorable
battle of Eutaw 'Springs, bewailad by
all who knew him.. James lest a leg at
the siegfe of Yorktown, and retired to his
native village, but mortification ensued,
and he expired with the ever memorable
words dn his lips ' Cut loose in the name
of liberty!"
' The village of Norfolk still stands and
has become a town of some celebrity.
The scene of the ; defeat of the British
of the British by the boy patriots is still
pointed out, and is a sacred spot in
annals of Newark.
Two ladies were having some words
together on the roadside, when the
daughter of one of them popped her

I will relate a little incident which
happened to your humble servant on his
return home from the wars. I rwas
walkia' along the street lookin' so gal
lant and gay, in my brass kole and Hue
buttins, and other military harress, when
a excited femail rushed out ov a house,
throw'd her pump handles aroun' me
neck which part I did not mind as ihey
was fair, round ones and exclaimed:
"doo I behold thee wunc again ?"
"You do and I think you are holdin'
me too fastly," sez I, tryin to , release
the excentrick femail's arms.
"Oh hav you cum back hav you cum
back ?'.' she wildly cried hangin' tighter
to my neck.
"Certainly I've cum back," sez I "or
else I would not be hear. But I don't
think I know you muchly."
-"Not know me me, yoar own Claret
ta Rosetta Belletta she who has not sot
eyes onto you for more'n2 years. Yes,"
she continued, placing her hands onto me
me shoulders, and looking up into my
face like a dyin' hoss-fly -yes I do see
my own Alfred's eyes, an' his cose, his
ears, an' his "
"Madam," sez I, "execose me, but al
low me too korrect vou. Ef I air not
mistaken, -these earses, an, eyes, an' nos

youf Alfred never owrled them scarcely,'
"Away with this farse," sez she."
You can't desceve your own Claretta.

It was evident that the femail ' wos
mistaken, that it was not me but another
man she wanted.
How old is he ?" sez L
"Which?' sez she.
"Them little sun, Lincoln Burnside
McClellan, andjso 4th."
"He's just 6 months old the little
darlin'!"
"Wall, madam,", sez I, ef little Lin

only 6 mohths old, and ye haven't sot
eyes unto your Alfred for more'n 2 years
I think that's a mistake somewhar, and
that I'm tot your dear Alfred, but an
other man altogether."
The woman shot into the hDuse like
40, and this was the last I saw of my
own Claretta Rosetta Belletta, but I pity
