" Hisfory is filled wita the jeeJs of tlie
men of the Revulutior, nor are the pa
triot women t'oraottcu by tbe iournala
of 76; but where is the historian who
tells of the bors uf that eloouiy period!
There were bora n tlie Rerolution.
bojs of noble itrtotism and da;int!es-
spirit, boys who would not become
traitors, though the rack and gibbet
confronted them; boys who toiled with
an endurance and boldnesa unequaled
in Ihe annals of a nation for. the itide
(lendence of the "Old Thirteen."
Let us relate an iustauoe: It wai t. .
the year 1777. Philadelphia was in
the hands of Howe and hi inhuman
ldierv, while the field of Braodvwine
sate American jieo)le an evidence of
Bi-itish humanity. - The inhabitants of
Penus; lvania and Delaware were at the
mrrcv' of tht-ir f jes. Bands of Hes
sian dragoons scoured the vicinity of
fi)iiaetiia tor miles around, and com
mitted acta which would Lave disgraced
a Vandal.
On the evening of an autumn dav a
group of boys, ranging in age from 12
to 17 years, were gathered together on
the stejis of a tenant less storehouse in
in .the village of Newark, Del. The
town seemed lonely, and, with the" ex
ception of the-youtbfI band referred
to, not a h uman being met tho eye. All
the men caiable of bearing arms had
left their homes to join the army of
V ushuiston . on the- Schuylkill. A
youth of 1G years, mounted on a barrel,
was givin; an account of the uisastrais
"battle of Brandywiiie. - James "Wilson,
the narrator, was a bold boy, enthusi
astic ia bis lovofor the American eaviso,
and tKjssessed -of -tto littlo -intelligence.
ilU bright , blue eye. and flitrea hair
qxvc him an eSeminito Aj)iearauco, but
underneith that plain homespun jacket
tiirofiiied a Heart that nev( r quailod in
danger n r HliiunW W'f.ir.? obstacle.
Ill's f.tthrr -.VU.-S L'iuaiaiider of the
Dlaai-o regular troopw, tnd his moth
er was dead. The bov . concludod bis
narration, and . was deeply lamenting
that he could uot join the army. '
"1 am not old enough," said he, "but
bad I a musket I would not stand idly
here, with my hands banging useless by
mv side. I have spent nearly r week
trying to Und one, but my efforts are of
no avail. 1 strongly au-spect that old
Tory .Livingston has several secreted In
his house, but as he permits no one to
trespass on ht9 land, I cannot say posi
tively. . If there are any boys that will
help me, I will search , his house ; this
night. ; He has no one to help him ex
cept his son George, and "we can easily
manage him. .
The whole party immediately volun
teereri, and the voung s neroes Boon
started for the house of tho old Tory.
Livingston bad lonar been suspected
of harboring British spies, and tome of
his tormer laborers had reported that he
Kept up a regular correspondence writh
the British cx)nrmander. " At all events,
he was generally regarded as a danger
ous maB, and therefore avoided. . His
house was situated a short' distant
from Whitsclay creek, on the side of a
steep hill, surrounded on all sides , by
tall tntesv vlt waar just such a place as
oae Blight suppo39 euitftbla for tie plot
ting of treason. At the time James
Wilson and his little band left the de
serted storehouse in the village of New
ark, dusk had" given place to the darker
shades of night; still it was not dark;
the new moon wan perfectly distinguish
able. At length they gained a bank bf
the creek, aud slowly following the
wiuding path, soon camn to a little low
bridge which crossed a shallow livulf fj
leading into Whiteclay. Here they
stopped, and Wilson ami one of his
comiBttioiis went forward to recomioi
ter. They had uot proceeded far before
they ho,ri footsteps. Concealing thfm
celves behind a tree,- they ' dic ivir.nl
that the person approaching was Oeorge
Livingston, the old Tory's son. Wilson
dot ted out aad -auizttd bim by the
neck, and the two boys sswm drugged
him to the spot where they had li ft
tb'Mr coiajntiiiuns. Tho Tory's son wns
struck dtuuh with flight when lie found
himself in tbe whole group of boy lie
roes, with tho vise like grip" ; of James
and Frank on either arm. Ho was so
frightened at their threats that he
promised to tell thein all if they would
not injure him. -
' The blue eyes , of James plistenod
with joy, and he soon gained from the
Tdry's son a rerektinrt which atamped
his father a traitor of tbf Blast nppal
ling character. He discovered that old
Livingston not' bnly kept Up a corres
pondence with the British commander,
but that he had so t-nx-eeded in his
traitoTJHis designs that the Tillage of
Newark was to be burned to ashes, and
its women and children left exposed to
the pitiless foe." The bid Tory was to
receive as bia reward the land whereon
the village brood, and an annual fu
sion from the British Government. j
Bat, stru'ngef than all, the plot was
lo be consummated on the Tery night
the Tory's son bad been captured, while
he was going on art errand to a Tory
neighbor, about two miles distant. ' Tbe
little band of heroes learned, too, that
the British troops bad secured their
horses in Livingston's Btable, and in
tended to" descend the river in a large
lioaL There wore twenty of them ha-
sides' their Captain. Maj. Bradstone,
the leader of the band, was in temper
and in heart a thorough demon, and
scrupled not in his cruelty to destroy
the slumbering infant or sickly wife.
Not a few in that youthful band of pa
triots trembled for a widowed mother or
defenseless sister. Some were for de
parting immediately; but James Wil
son, still retaining his grasp on the
Tory's son, ordered all to be silent. The
prisoner was tied hand and faot, a thick
handktrcb lounl over hia tnowb.
prevent him from calling assistance,
and a stout cord fastened to his breast
and wound about a tree, Wilson told
his little band to follow him, and in a
few moments they stood on the summit
of a precipice which overhung White-
clay creek. '
"Now, Jioys," sail li9, "if the narra-ti-vw
wnfch we liars Jr.sl iierd Is true,
we must mske the let cf the occasion.
The British band will pass this fot iu
their boat the creek is deep, swift and
narrow fcpni and, nt we have an hour
to work, let us bury ourselves iu lulling
some of these large rocks to the edj;e
ot thr precipice, aud when the red-coats
jiass V-slow let us sink them to the bot
tom." Each bey set to work, and in an in
credibly short space of time nine huge
rocks were balanced upon the edge ot"
the precipice. The creek at this int
was was directly overhung by the miss
of rocks on which our heroes stood. If
the British baud descended the creek,
they would ccrtaiuly pass this spot; and
if they passed it, then death was their
certain fate. In about an hour the bnrs
detected the measured beat of muffled
oars. :
Closer came the dfftmed loyalist, and
the hearts of the boy vitriols beat wild
ly in their bosoms. Peering cautiously
over tbe cliffs, James Wilson saw the
Tory boat slowly but surely approach ing.
An officer stood on the bows guiding
the oarsmeu by his orders, and the
epaulets on bis shoulders told that he
was the identical fiend, Mujor Brad
Ktone. , ,
When the boat was about twelve feet
from the rock, the boy leader fell securely-
behind hia stone defense, and
hhouted: s
"Who goes there 1" ;
In a moment the oarsmen ceased row
ing, and gaied with astonishment above
them. The rnetus wbicji tho boat had
acquired caused it to diift slowly be
neath the rooks, and j ust as it was fair
ly below, carao forth the doomed word :
"Cut loose in the name of Liberty 1"
Each boy pushed his rock at that in
staut, and the stones fell. ' A loud
shriek from the dark waters told how
well the plan had succeeded, aud as the
exultant boys again looked over the
rock, nothing was Been but a few pieces
of floating wood.
- The boat had leen broken to pieces,
and the occupants had found a watery
grave beneath the Whiteclay. A cry
of victory burst from the joyous lipB of
the youthful patriots, and it was echoed
along the shore. - .
When the boys went to tho place
where they had left, their prisoner they
found that in the efforts to free himself
George Livingston had been; caught by
the fatal cord and choked to death.
There was no time for repiuiug; the
traitor and his son had met their de
served doom, and their waa uo room to
mourn the loss. ?.- ' . ; - i s .
: Old Livingston's house was soarched,
and, to the surprise of every one, not
only gun, but three brass field-pieces,
several barrel i of powdsr, and , an
abundanoaof bull, etc., vfere found con
cealed in the Tory's cellar. The mili
tary stores found here were' given over
to the American troops, anil found a
joyful welcome at their headquarters.
Had not the British party been defeat
ed, the town of Newark and the whole
northern part of the State of Delaware
would have been overrun by predatory
bands of British soldiers. James Wil
son and Frank Howard, the leaders of
the band that saved Newark, both
joined the army cf Greene, and served
with distinction in the southern cam
paign. Frank fell in the memorable
battle of Eutaw Springs, ' bewailed 1v
all who knew him. James Wilson hist
leg at the siege ef Yorktown, and re
tired to his native village, but mortifi
cation ensued, and he died from the ef
fects. : i j
The village of Newark still stands,
aud has become a town of some celeb
rity. The scene of the, defeat of.tiie
British by the boy patriots , is still
pointed out, and it is a bacred spot in
the annals of Newark. '
Such, render, were the acts of ' the
boys of '70, and, though they have no
monumental pile to preeerve their mem
ories, they live in the legeuds, songs
and Verses, where thev will exist for
mer. . -.-

The clerk found the paper. "Case

"Your case has been dismissed," said

Two masked men rode up to the
house of Parson Fotster, who lives about
one mile north of Alvardo, Johnson
couuty, Texas, one night recently, and,
levelling down six-shooters on the gen
tleman, demanded all the money fee had
about the premises. " The parson, undei
the cireumstiiuces, did as any one else
would do, and gave up the sum amount
ing to about $300. ' During the search
one robber's msW fell, disclosing to the
astonished parson's gaze the face
of the Deputy Sheriff of Job neon
eiunty. After thoroughly searching
the house tho robbers mounted their
horses and rode off 'at a full gallop.
The parson immediately mounted one
of his horses and reported the circum
stances at Alvardo. A posse of citizet
were soon in hot pursuit of the daring
band, and, after several miles chase,
succeeded in capturing two of them,
Amos Powoll, a well-known eiutt of
Alvardo, and Sam Parker, Deputy Sher
iff of that pounty. . From these they
succeeded in getting the names of oth
ers implicated, and the disclosure re
sulted in the capture of the entire gang.
Charley Gill, Lee Cathey and John
Johnson were the names of the other
three, all being well-known citizens of
Alvardo. They were taken to Cleburne
and lodged in jail. Fort Worth Demo

,,A capital plan of the British minis
try for the campaign of 1777 was the
seizure and the occupation by military
posts of the Champlain and Hudson
Valleys, from St. John's' on the Sorel,
to the city of New York. The objeet
waa to sever the close union between
New England and the other State,
paralyze the powers of each section, and
so weaken tbe whole that the subjuga
tion ot toe resisting estates might be
come an easy task. To accomplish this
end forces were prepared to stove south
ward from the banks of tbe St. Law
rence, while other forces should ascend
tbe Hudson "river, and these columns
meeting near Albany, perfect the. exe
cution of the scheme Lieutenant-Gen-'
era! Burgoyne commanded the northern
invading army, and Sir William Howe
the forces that were to penetrate New
x ora irom tne outti. r
At this rxrnt a treacherous officer of
high rank in the Continental army ap
pears conspicuous in the series of events
that caused the evacuation- of Philadel
phia. That officer was Charles Lee, the
senior Major-Gencral under Wash
ington. He bad keen an officer in the
British army, served under Burgoyne in
Portugal, and had risen to tbe rank of
Lieutenant Colonel. He bid served
under Braddock in the disastrous con
flict en the banks of the Monongahela,
and with Abercrombie in the vnsaecess
ful attack on Ticonderoga, about twenty
rears before the time we are consider
tag. Lee let dwelt fer a time among
the Mohawk Indians, who made him
a cbif, with tbe appropriate name of
"Boning Water," for he was a hot and
restless man, vain, arrogant, jealous,
and quarrelsome. Failing to obtain
higher promotion In the army, be left
the royal service, came to America in
1773, engaged in politics on the side of
the colonists, and when the Continent
al rmy was organized be received the
commission of Maior General. , He re
signed his commifisioa in tbe British
army, but required Congress to indem
nity turn against any loss which be
might sustain as a conseqence ef that I
act. Then he Vegan to play the part of j
an American patriot; and to enable bun
to continue to do so, Congress, in the
autumn of 1776, loaned him upon bia
own bond $30,000. He was simply an
unscrupuloas and selfish adventurer,
whose influence in the army waa always
pernicious. .
Proud, censorious, and disobedient,
Lee had followed Washington at a dis
tance with a heavy .force dnring the
perilous flight of the shattered Ameri
can army across New Jersey late in
1776, pursued by the viotorious troops
of Corn wal lis. Washington repeatedly
called upon Lee to push forward and
give bim strength to strike tbe pur
surer, aud be as often omitted to obey.
He evidently desired to have disaster
befall his superior, hoping thereby to
promote his own ambitious scheme to
become commander-in-cbief. He was
not only disobedient, but several days
after the chase had ended at tbe Dela
ware, and Cornwallis had relinquished
it, Lee, yet lingering in New Jeieey,
suffered himself to be captured at some
distanco from his army by a small
British scout. Takon to New York,
lie was used harshly at first by General
Howe as a British deserter, but very
soon that commander and bis officers
treated Lee with marked consideration.
And well they might; for Lee revealed
to Howe -the political condition of
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and
V lrginia, and presented him with
written plan for tbe subjugation of tbe
colonies), which promised better results
than that of tbe ministery. He made
it appear so plainly that a land and
naval expedition up the Cbesepeake and
Delaware bays would prove suecessful,
that the brothers Howe abandoned the
ministerial plan and largely accepted
Lee'a. They sailed for Cbesepeake Bay
with a greater part of tbe of the Brit
ish army, instead of going up the Hud
son to co-operate witn xiurgoyne com
ing down from tbe north. Howe landed
his troops on the shores of Maryland,
marched into Pennsylvania, gained a
victory on the banks of the Brandy
wine Creek, frightened Congress from
Philadelphia, took possession of that
oity in the autumn of 1777, aud held it
until June, 1778. Thi3 abandonment
of Burgoyne caused the loss of that
General's army and its splendid ap
pointments; and the rain of tbe minis
terial plan. Harper's Jfcuazine for
