It was about nine o'clock in the morning when the ship first appear ed. At once there was the greatest excitement in the village. It .wffa a British war ship. What would she do? Would she stack about in the bay to pick up stray coasters as prizes, or would she land soldiers t8 bum the town? In either case there would be trouble enough. Those were sad days, those old war-times in 1812. The sight of a British war-ship in Boston bay was not pleasant. We were poor then, and had no monitors to go out and sink the enemy or drive him off. Our navr was small, and, though we afterwards had the victory and sent the troublesome Blnps away, never to return, at that time they often came nearenougli, ana rae goou peopie in the little village of Scituate Har- hnr were in creat distress over the strange ship that had appeared at the mouth of the harbor. It was a fishing place in those days and the harbor was full of smacks and boats of all kinds. The soldiers could easily enter the harbor and burn up everything, ana no one could nrevent them. .There were men enoueh to make a good fight. but thev were poorly armed, and had nothing but fowling pieces and shot suns, while the soldiers had muskets and cannon. The tide was down during the morning, so that there was no dan cer for o few hours, and all the peo ple went out on the cliffs and beach es to watch the ship and see what would happen next. On the end of the low, sandy spit that makes one side of the harbor, stood the little white tower known as the Scituate Light. In the bouse behind the light lived the keeper's family, consisting of himself, wife, and several bovs and girls. At the time the ship appeared, the keeper was away, and there was no one at home save Mrs. Bates, the eldest ilnnn-liter. Rebecca, about fourteen - . ears old, two oi tne nraie uoyn, mm , young girl namea Saraii nmsor, who was visiting rteDeccn. Rebecca had been the nrst to .dis cover the ship, while she was up in the light bouse tower poiismng me ,-nfWr.nr. She at once descended the steep stairs and sent the boys off to the village to give the alarm. For an hour or two the slnn tacic- ed and stood off to sea, then tacked. a"ain and made for the shore. ;uen, wonieu, and children watched uer with nnvirms interest. Then the tide turned and began to flow into the harbor. The boats aground on the, flat floated, and those in deep water swung round at their moor-inn-s. Now the noldiers would prob ably land. If ttie people meant to save anvthing it was time to be stir ing. Boats were hastily put out froni the wharf, and such clothing, pets and other valuables as could be handled were brought ashore, load ed into hay carts and carried.away. It was of no use to resist. The soldiers, of course, were well armed, n,,rl if the peonle maae a suiuu among the houses that wduld not prevent the enemy Irom uesirojiug aliirminr. As the tide sprenu um ovc. .o ,lv flnr. it filled the harbor so that instead of a small channel, it be came a wide and beautuui Day. a no Jnxt wrta firm aim. there was a gentle breeze rippling the water nd mak- it ahinn in the sun. "' splendid day for fishing or sailing! Not much ue to think of either while that war ship crossed Mid re crossed befor the harbor mouth. About two o'clock the tide, reach ed hio-h water mark, and to the dis may of the people, the ship let go her anchor, swung her yards round, and lay quiet about half a mile from the first cliff. They were going to land to burn the town. ith their spy-glasses the people eould see the boats lowered to take the Boldiers ashore. Ah! then was confusion and up ir.vorv lmrse in the village was put in some kind of team, and the women and children were hur off ii the woods behind' the town. The men would stay and of b... lirnv it resistance as possible. The truns were light and poor, but they could use tne um uau as a fort, and perhaps make a bravo fight of it. If worst came to worst, they eould at least retreat and take to the woods for shelter. It was a splendid sight. Five large boats manned by sailors, and filled with soldiers in gay red coats. How their guns glittered in the sun. The oars all moved together in regu lar order, and the officers in their fine uniform stood up to direct the expedition. It was a courageous company come with a war ship and cannon to fight helpless fishermen. So llebecca Bates and Sarah Win sor thought, as. they sat up in the light house tower looking down on the procession of boats as it went past the point and entered the harbor- . , "Oh! if I only were a man! cried Bebecca. .

I'd fight. I'd use father's old shot-gun anything. Think of uncle's new boat and tho sloop!" "Yes; and all the boats." "It's too bad; isn't it?" . "Yes, and to think we must sit here and see it all and not lift a fin ger to help." . "Do vou think there will bo a fight?" " "I don't know. tTocle and father are in the village, and they will do all thev can," "See bow still it is in town. There is not a man to be seen." "Oh, they are hiding till the sol diers get nearer. Then we'll hear the shouts and the drum." : The drum! How can they? tho drum is here. Father brought it home to mend it last night." "Did he? Oh thon lots " "See, the first boat has reached the sloop. Oh! they are going to bum her." "Isn't it mean!", "It's to bad!" "Where's that drum?" "It's in the kitchen." "I've a great mind to go down and boat it." "What good would that do?" 'Scare 'em." "They'd see it was only two girls, arid, they would laugh and go on just the same." "No. We could hide behind the sand hills and the bushes." "Oh, look, the sloop's afire!" "Come, I can't stay and see it any more. Tile1 cowardly Britishers, to burn the bo'dt! Why don't they go down town and fight like men?" "Come, let's get the drum. It'll do no harm; o'nd perhaps " "Well, lot's'. . There's the fife, too, we might take with us." "Yes, and wo'll-' " No time for further talk. Down the steep steps of the-' tower rushed these two young patriots, bent on doing what they could for their country. They burst into tho kitch en like a whirlwind, with rosy cheeks and flying hair. Mrs, Bates' sat look ing soriTowfully out of the w indow at tho scene of destruction going on in the, harbor, and praying for hor country and that the dreadful, war might soon be over. She eould not help it. Son and husband were shouldering their poor old guns In the town, and there Was nothing to do but to watch and wait and pray. Not so with the two girls. They meant to do something, and in a fever of .excitement, they got the drum anil took the cracked fife from tlio bureau drawer. Mrs. Bates, in tent on the scene outside, did not heed them, and they slipped out of the back door, unnoticed. They must be careful, or tho sol diers would see them. They went around back of the house to tho north beach, and then turned and plowed through the deep sand just above lpgh water mark. They must keep out of the sight of the boats, and the ship, also. Luckily, she was anchored to the south of the light; and as the beach curved to the west, they soon left her out of sight. Then they took to the water side, and with 'the drum between them, ran as fast as they could to the main land. Presently they reach ed the low heaps of sand that show ed where tho spit joined tho fields and woods. Panting and excited, they tighten ed the drum and tried the fife softly. "lou take the fife, Sarah, and I'll drum." "All right; but we rousn't stand still, we must march along the shore towards the light." "Won't thov see us?" "Oh, yes, and they'll think it's soldiers going down to the point to head 'eni off." "Just so. Come, begin! One, ;W0oie, two!" Drum! drum!! Squeak ! squeak ! ! "For'ard march !" "Ha! ha!" The fife" Stopped. "Don't laugh. You'll spoil every thing, and I can't pucker my lips. Drum ! diwn 1 ! drum ! ! ! Squeak ! squeak ! ! squeak ! ! !

They frouM all be captured, and perhaps hung by tho dreadful Americans I ' How the drum rolled I 'liio nto changed its tune. , It played, "Yan kee Doodle," that horrid tuno. Hark! the men were oheering in the town; there were thousands of them in the woods along the shore 1 In grim silence marched the two gi'ls, plodding over the sharp stones, splashing through the puddles, Re becca beating the drum with might and main, Sarah blowing the life with shrill determination. How tho Britishers scrambled into their boats ! One of the brave offi cers was nearly left behind on the burning sloop. Another fell over board and wet his good clothes, in his haste to escape from the Ameri can army marching down tho beach, a thousand strong ! How the sail ors pulled! No fancy rowing now, but desperate haste to get out of the place and escape to the ship. How the people yelled and cheer ed on the shore ! Fifty men or more jumped into boate to prepare for the chase. Hinging shots began to crack over tho water. Louder and louder rolled tho terri ble drum. Sharp and clear rang out the cruel fife. Nearly exhausted, half dead with fatigue, the girls toiled on, tearfu1.. laughing, ready to drop on the wet sand, and still beating and blowing with fiery courage. The boats swept swiftly out of the harbor on the outgoing" tide. Tho fishermen came up with the burning boats. Part of them stopped to put oat tho fires, ;and the rest pursued the living enemy with such shots as they could get at them, and in the midst of it all the sun went down. The red-coats did not return a shot. They expccU-d every minute to see a thousand men open on them at short range from the beach, and they reserved their powder. Out of tho harbor they went in confifcj-jn and Uiamay. The ship weighed anchor and ran out hor big nana, but did not tiro a shot. Dark ness fell down on tho sceno ns tho boats reached the ship. Then she sent a round shot toward the light, which fell short and threw a great fountain of water into the air. Tho girls saw it; and dropping tho drum and fife, sat down on tho beach and laughed till they cried. That night tho ship sailed away; The great American array of two had arrived, and she thought it wise to retreat in time. - - Bebecca is still living, old find feeble in body, but brave in spirit and strong in patriotism. She told this story herself to the writer, and it is true. St. Nicholas. THE PROPER TIMK TO CUT GRAIN. In cutting grass for h'4y our pur. poso is to use the stem and leaves for stock-feeding instead of tho seed tho ultimate end Nature has in view in causing tho plant to grow and we aim to cut it when these parts contain the most available nu triment. In cutting the grains we aim to secure the seeds in the best condition for making food, regard ing the stem and leaves as of sec ondary importance. Some years since efforts wero mado by some theorists to convince fann ers that their grains would be plump er, aild aggregate heavier f they were out while soft and left to harden in the shock, and the theory may be correct, but it often, in a catching season, involves so much risk, and oxtra labor to -cure the grain in the shock, that farmers generally, we think, adhere to the time-honored practice of allowing tho grain to pretty much mature standing, so that it will answer to draw into barns, or sfetck within two or three days after cutting. The opposite extreme of suffering grain to become so ripe as to sjieil and waste in harvesting, will of course bo avoided by all of those en ergetic farmers who control their work instead of always being behind, and allowipg their work to control them. A large field of grain seldom ripens up uniformly, unless the soil is of the same character throughout, and when tho cradle waB the implement relied upon for cutting it, we could ItlCUIHlUR AND TIITON, Opinions of the Eastern Press. From the Js". Y. Herald. Mr. Beecher has taken up his po sition behind a very strong barrloade of silence, and evidently intends to stay there. He proposes to allow Mr. Tilton to write as many plnyful letters as his leisure will admit of, but sternly refuses to dip his quill into the inkstand to reply. If it af fords pleasure to the party on the one side to stick pins into his neigh bor, the party on the other side is satisfied to play tho role of an ani mated pinoii6hion until tho manu facture of that useful article gives out, No sealing wax compares with tho adhesive quality of Mr. Beechor's lips.

It is stoutly claimed by some farmers, that it is so injured. An instance is given of theplumpest wheat thut could be found, being examined under tho microscope, and tho coating seemed to be full of cracks, and the germ was broken in several places. It is maintained now that wo understand why the yield of wheat has dimin ished so since tho time power-threiih-ers were introduced, and this on new and rich land, such ns formerly yield ed heavy crops, need wheat is nui ported frequently frop Europe, and on trial if proves all that it was ret commended, but after it's cultivation has begun and threshing is done by the machine, it becomes no bettor than our own varieties. Tho Odessa wheat is mentioned especially in proof, for the reason that it comes from a country in which threshers are saldom used. That, too explains why whoat seems to turn to cheat, and why so much is smutty. This ig a subject worthy of the most careful investigation; and should it bo found that the machine does injure wheat for seed, it should next be ascertained whether thresh-iiif- with a flail and even by horse, does, not injure it also. Whon it is considered that our tanning is con stanlly growing- bettor, that land is being plowed deeper, and tnat man ure is saved more carefully it is worth while to ascertain why tho wheat crop is constantly growing loss per acre Still it would seem that if tho fault lies in the machines, it would have been discovered but it is proper and very easy to have a demonstration. tor.

Hivw would the ono bo a bettor- man in the same circumstances than tha other? AVhy ' doos Mr. Beecher wish that he were doad? And was this document really writ ton by Mr. Beochar. with his namo signed to it by his own hand? , , These questions suggest thornaelveri to every mind.

On one oo casion a Highlander sailed in the packet from Abcrd'pen to Grauton. It was tho first time that Donald had been on board ship, and the novel scene interested him- greatly. So long as tlio vessel wa in smooth water he enjoyed the Bail very much, but ere long a squall camo tip, caus ing the vessel to pitch and roll in a manner which to Donald was very alarmmg. Irritated by being bumped about, and sull'eiin besides, from disagreeable internal sensations, he mado his way to the deck to find out the cause of the ship's bad be havior. Arrived there he was taking a survey of the scene, when his eyes lighted on tlio steersman. The latter did not work by the wheel, but by the old fashioned, long-handler! tiller, and after eyeing his proceedings for a minute, the cloud of wrath on the Highlander's brow grew black as night. He advanced toward tho steersman in a stealthy way, and tho instant he was in reach knocked him down by a blow with his fistexclaim ing, be did so, Take that, you vilfian, for kittlin' her tail wi' that doin'd stick, and mak in' ber jump. . "Grasshopper price" is what they bay in Iowa when, they mean cheap. IFroili tho St. liouis ItotnocraU , It is important that Mr. Boeeher should not be condoinned without evidence, or acquitted ' against evi dence. His own ooiiduct will form a material part of, tl)at evidence,' If he shirks the issue winch Mr. Tiltop's publication raises, he ought to be condemned. If h,o seeks to liidp himself behind tho personal attach ment of friends and tho pridp of those who HvmpathUo with him, in belief, he aught to be condemuod. If he continues to permit the poti fogging tricks of a lawyer., already infamous for his doings in the Erfe swindle, to no restorteu to in uis uu- fonso. he outrht to bp condemned.-- He can save himself in only one way by meeting squareiy ana iranniy the accusation. Either he has been "uilty of an offense which called for the abject and humiliating npojogy published, or ho is not. hilenco condemns him, and equally condemns, those who then insist that he must not bo censured, because ho has been a distinguished and useful preacher. Dodging condemns him and then a frank and manly reply would be demanded of any otber person so accused, and must bo mado by Mr. Beecheer, if ho would save himself. But if 1)6 makes such a re ply, the case should bo judged from, tho evidence. From the Chicago InU?r-0cenn. Dr. Bacon was in a position to have forced a straight-forward inves tigation. It was not necessary for him to have reBartod to indirect means to bring it about. Especially was it not necessary for him to lnud Mr. Beecher to tho skies if ho bo lieved him guilty, or if ho thought there was some doubt about his in nocence. Nor was it necessary to brand Tilton as a liar and a dog, if he thought ho might possibly be a truthful and much-injured rni"- It s this indirection (if, indeed, indi rection was 'used) for which Dr. Bacon may be censurable. For the determination which ho exhibited to bring out tho truth, ho is entitled only to commendation, and, most of all, commendation from tho religious bodiiis of the land. rrrnm the nochesti-E Pemoerat.l Mr. Beecher is not guilty, but he iuusn't do it again. From the Washington Capital. I The tiviublo with tho whole lot is that they nre too good. Henry Ward, wo gather, overcome for the moment by the flesh and thn devil, makes an assault on Mrs. Tilton. r Mrs. T. lieing very good, tolls Mr. T., and Mr. T., inhtead of hunting up Henry Ward, and punching bis theological head, consults with friends. These frionds being also Tery good, advise a conference with the amorous divine, and then go their several ways, telling sixty odd other pious friends all about it in confidence. !St. Theodore confers with' or confronts St. Henry, and the lust o.imfosKes mid apologizes in writ,- iii!r. Ho humbles himself prodi- ously on paper. Then St. Theodore takes the saintod Woodhull and Claflin into h'is confidence, and be tween tho confidence of the good and bad the story gots out and Wood hull and Claflin get into jail. 1 ' Now, the only sympathy we fool is for tho unfortunates, Woodhull and Claflin. They are hounded down, caught, hurried into jail, and be dovilotl and I abused for tainting the mails with precisely what all these pious people consider it their duty to spread over; .fho oountry.

( .., His most prudent friends, his congregation and, we be, lieve, country at largo, accept tljfs oonclusioh,,,, and, in view of all the circumstances, resolved that tlio moral strength and influence of the great preacher was too groat a price to pay for a Bingle impropriety or in discretion. Tho country has made up its mind to boar with this one of-r fenso, forgiving rather thsii excusing, and not make it tho occasion pf breaking dojyn the influence, the work and trje: noble character of tlio man. ' IFrom tho Uiarton GtoUo. ' Tho publioity givon to tho state ments of Ml1- Tilton, and thoir evi dent connection with the previous imputation upon the choraoter of Mr. Beecher, demand some explana tion from wat gentleman; or, in up fault of this, an investigation which nlmll alinw who is responsible for tlio scandal which reflects upon the Chris t.ian bodv of. which the pastor of Ply mouth Church has so long been a coDspicu-.ous ' aild uonorou repre sentative. Wo do not believe in prej udicing this case, and we should bo tho last to rjiva credence to those ehargos against the distinguished Brooklyn clergyman until ho had been proven guilty, but we deem it nil t.lia moro important that ho and his friends should not wpakon tlioir causo by any further action ignoring or disregarding tliveo gravo imputations. Fmin tho Chlciu-'o Tribune The investigation now must cdino.
