In the lull &t Lome there is a dark oM pii-tare, which hat tUajs pos-cssed a peculiar interest for mi. It i the por trait of my "great-gmnd-auat," Xascy Robertson, who. one hundred years ago to-day, was a slim, -wild little maiden of Sftceu, with bright, hazel eyes, and short, curling, brown hair. The picture represents a beautiful young woman several years older thin that, magnificently d rosed in white silk, bro caded with pink roses her hair powdered, rolled buck from her forebeaJ, and fall ing in two or three heavy curls on her bare, -white neck. There are rows of pearls in her hair, and on her neck and arm, and rich lace rafSt-s fail around her square-cut bodice, and her dimpled el bows. One slender hand holds a great feather fan,tbe other a spray of pink ruses Well, I find I have described the pic tore more as it mutt have beea when the colors were not dry, than it is now. It is dark and dingy-lioking now, and yon just can tee what the dre.s must have been; but somehow the face gleams out as radiantly, archly as ever. The hazel eves, under their delicate line of brows, look into ypurs as gaily as they ever did; the sweet lips almost pait and smile as you gMze; the white throat sc-eras to rise Jtnrt full w-Stli .nfr li--- I.-. -t i r. - . t uiuui oi iuc picture is tuc perfect girlish happiness on the lovely face. And yet Aunt Nancy's bright eyes had lxcu dimmed with hot and "bitter tears many a time. I have heard all about these times from dear old tunt Kitty, who heard tbem from her mother, my great grandmother, who died at ninety-fire 3ears of age, and was Aunt Xancy's younger sister. So, youec, I know. Aunt Nancy" fa'her lived on Ixmg Island; somewhere, I have heard, near the town of Jamaica. He wes a man of wealth, for tboe time, and the It-jbert-son mansion w.s filled with solid com forts and many luxuries imjortcd from France and Engiandand other countries; curious screens, carved chain, eta, etc! The most beautiful thing in the house, so the children thocght, was a great punch bowl, for that was a time when no enter tainment was considered complete witii- n nn..1. T.

It sb)d on the creat sideboard all the year, and on Christmas Eve, Nancy'n father would brew it full of punch Nancy and her sisters rollint? the iemous, I suppose. And then there' ., . , , , , . . would be healths drunk, lw-ginnioe with fe- and tongs sutig, and merry dunce.s, and kissing under the mistletoe, until the great bowl was drained, and twelve siroKes ot tne tall clcjc in the corner ushered in Christmas Day. But there came a time when King George's health was no longer drunk, be cause the Continental Congress had de clared the United States free and inde pendent And there was at last a time when no punch waj brewed in the big bowl, because Nancy's father had ki.sed his wife and little daughters, and taken his musket and marched away to fight tbe British. In a little while Nancy's two young brothers, boys of sixteen and seventeen, followed him and never came back. poor lads! One perished of unen uiouia during that dreadful winter, at Valley Forge;" the other die1,;loriousiy fighting.uuderthe Quaker General Green, iu South Cirolin. There was sorrow and weeping in the farni-hou!e duriug all these sad years. Often have I heard ho little Nancv was at her wheel, spinning yarn to knit socks for her brother Geoffrev, when the net of his death came. I fancy I cn ce the slim little figure stepping back and forth lightly by the wheel, and hear the child's clear voice ringing gaily until the news came. They sty that after one barst of pas sionate grief fur the dead brother, little - ancy roc up dry-eyed and calm, and went back to her spinning.

Their red coats glared likeaa asgry Case on tne ingbteeeu eyes ol the wwtnea and children. J uba drew up the horses, and wiu a wim impaise of Sight, tried to turn them in the s&rrow road.

"At least you shall aerer have thisl" she cried, in clear, riogiag, defiaat tones, and the next instaat the beautiful fragile thing lay in a thousand fragments on the rolling road. The crash and the child's daring words attracted the attention of a young officer, who had riddca carelessly past the wagon, meaning to reach the top of the hill and reconnoitre the country. He turned abruptly now, and reined up beside the wagon. X ancy still stood theic glowing and defiant, and some of the men were laughing, others cheering the "little rebel." The young officer smiled, and then courteously lifted his hat from bis head. He was a good lookiag yoaag fellow of twenty years or so, with warjsg fur hair and deep blue eyes.

But I am not sure that Captain Ellesmere said that. I know that somebody did, how ever, and why not be? Aod when the troopers weat away, it is said that Captain Ellesmere gravely sto.ipcJ and kissed Xaucy's little brown hand, and said, gallantly. "I feel honored, madam, to have served to brave and fair a lady!' D.-ar me, what grand, stately, courteous old dajs they were!

'"r. ..lon r",,c u,ou" eumes the Krittt.ll K soldiers were very near Ilobcrt- son's farm, and Mnictitues skirmiihes were fought in the neighborhood. Bat four years after the famous affair of the punch bowl, one soft moonlight night, there came a feeble rap at the front door, and is ancy went to see who was there.

Then be fell fainting on the floor, .and Nancy ran to her mother to come and help him. "For he is dying! and oh, mother, his name is GooQreyl" she sobbed. So these good women took him in and nursed him for months (for, of course, be didn't die), obtaining a parole for him, and keening him in the pleasant old farm- uue mi ins wound was quite well, aad hi heart forever gone out of his British iMisom into the hands of the little rebel Nancy Ho'iertsoc. How could it Iw oth erwise! NaaCV was a lovelv vounir irl of nineteen now, fair and freh as the dawn. The hands thit hail brukm th punch-bowl were tender and skilful ia the bindfeg of wounds abd bathing of aciiiag ueous, and the makiag of delicate drinks and viands. Before be could leave his ud, Capt. E'leimere loved bis kiad, pitying little nurse.

I declare that people might behave ia jut that way now-a-days, and not be theeght at all old-fashioned ia their notions. So little Nancy ICobertson, whose father was away fighting in the Continental army, had promised to marrr a British officer: and one bright xaorniBg the took a ten ful leave of him, all alone, in the old par lor, which, with its quaint secretary, In dian screen, aad heart-shaped chairs, was thereafter dearer to her than ever. Those were dreary months that fol lowed the departare of Capt. Ellesmere from the Roberts ia farm, and a sorely torn and aching heart poor Naacy carried in her breast, while she knew that ber father asd ber lover were fiirhtini? uraisst each other, aad she never beard a word from Geoffrey. At last came news from him, and, strangct of all, her father brought it! Col. It .bertsoa came hme from Yorktown, where he bail beea with the army licseigiag Cornwall. Corawallis bal surrendered, aad with him a much more important character in Nancy's eyes, Capt. Ge iffrey Ellesmere! OA. ltobcrtson had seen him there. Nay, Capt Ellesmere had come to see him, and, like a brave gealleman. had told him of his lovo for Nancy, and asked his coa- cat to their marriage when the war h.iuld be esded. "He it a brave lad, and a handsime one, Nancy; and, more ver, he i a rich man, and a baronet, since bis uncle. Sir William, is dead, and as we are to hive peace n iw, why I won't say him nav. though I hate to part with my little Hath stood and f.steoed to all this with wide-open eyes, while Naney blutbed and hung her head.

".Mother, why should I have given you a heavier hert than you had ahead vl" said brave little Nancy. Then with ber arms around her mother, she laid, softly, "yoi will love Gei.ff.ev. mother, won't youi" Dear heart, I love him now." sid the mother, gently. "I love him well enough to give him my child." But fo- two years more Nancy stayed in the farm-house, till neaco was fioallv decide!, and "the British tr.mpi sailed homeward aud left America free an J in- deiendcnt." Then Captain Sir Geoffrey Ellesmere went bome.and carried his bride with him. b.i, pretty 2ancy became a grand lad v. and was presented at court in the very dress she wears in her portrait here.

Ah, well!

The Adventure galley sailed from Plymouth In May, 1C9C, carrying thirty guns aad eighty men, and. after scouring the North and . SjuU Atlantic, tried the Indian ocean, picking up a French merchantman or two, but of pi rates never a oae. At last the rtatience of Kidd, who appears to hare meant well originally, wore out; his crew turned mutinous, aod be became, according to hit defence, a pirate malgrt lui. After a fairly lucky cruise, he sailed for New York, thinking his offence would be winked at, but wat immediately seized, and all his books aud papers.scnt home for trial, and hanged with six ofhis associates.

Lono Gkoiuje Hamilton baUcL the other day, in a speech to hit Cumtitueut, that he became a county member oa the day when Mr. Gladstone ceased to be one. The boasted coincidence reminds us of a remark made by Punch several years ago. A somewhat teli-conccitcd personage re marked that on the day whea he became a member of the House of Commons Macaulay ceased to be one. Mr. Punch thereupon rcnurked that he k new nl a similar coincidcncc-that on the day when a noble old linn died in the Zoological Gardens a kicking young donkey camo into cxittcncc. pEiUKVEttANCE.
