The following eloquent Revolutionary Ser. mon, preached on the 10th of September, 1777, on the eve of the battle of Brandywine, by the Rev. Jacob Prout, to a large portion of the American soldiers, in the presence of General Washington, General Wayne, and others of the Continental army, was recently discovered amnong the old papers of Major John Jacob Scheluyer, an olmeer of the Revolution. It should be perused by every lover of patriotism. REVOLUTIONARY SERMON. " They who take the Sword, all perish by the &cSord." Sldiera and' Felloto-coutry We have met this evening, perhaps for the last time. We have shared the toil of the march, the dismay of the retreat-alike we endured .:old and hunger, the contumely of the internal foe, and the outrage of the foreign oppresser. We have sat 'night after night :lieide the same camp-fire, shared the same ough soldier's fare ; we have together heard the roll of the reveille, which called us to duty, or the b' tof.the tatoo, which gave the signal for-the l~ y sleep of the soldier, with, the earth for his bed, and the knapsack for his pillow. Ad .now, 'soldiers and brethren, we have met in the peaceful valley on the eve of bat tle, while the sunlight is dying awa~y beyond yonder heighits; the sunlight, that to-morrow morn will g~limmer ou scenes of blood. We have met amid the whitening tents of'our en ampment ; in times of terror and gloom have we gathered together-God grant it may not be for the last time. .It is a solemn moment. Brethren, does not the solemn voice of nature seem to echo the sympathies of the hour ? The flag of our c'ountry droops heavily from yonder staff; the breeze has died along the green plain of Chadds Ford-the plain that spreads before us, glistening in sunlight ; the heights of the Brandywinie arise gloomny 'and grand'beyond the wraters of' yonder stream, and allnature holds~ a piause of solemn silence on the";ve of the uproar of the bloodshed and strife~of to mirow.' 'hey ,c te- the Scord, 4holl perish (4 the - Sivord." And have they nut takeni the sword ? Let thme desolate pain-the blood-soddenedl valley-the burned farm house, blackening in the sun-the sacked village, and ravaged town, answer-let the whitening bones of the butchered farmer, strewn along the fields 'of his homestead, ansiwer-let the starving moth er with the khabe clinging to her withered breast, that can affo-rd no nourishment, let her answer,- with the death-rattle muingliug with the miurmunring tones, that mark the *last struggle for .life-let the dying mother aid her babe nnswerl - it was but a day past and our land slept in the light-of peace. War was not here-wrong wasi not here. Fraud, and woe, and misery, and want, dwelt not among us. Fr ,m the eternal solitude of the green woods, arose the blu.e s.m-e of th seutler's cabin, and golden ields of cornalooked. fortharromamid.-4 waste , >f the wilderness, and the glad musie of- ha-!

Solemn twilight advances over the valley -the woods on the opposite heights fling heir long shadows over the green of the meadow-around us are the tents of the Con inetal host, the suppressed hustle of the amp, the hurried tramp of the soldiers to and rro among the tents, the stillness and silence that marks the eve of battle. When we meet again, the lorig shadows of twi-light will be flung over a peaceful land. God in HesvengranTit'I Let us pray. PRtAYER OF THE nEvoLUTION. Great Father, we bow before thee.

A lazy, boy makes a lazy man. just a. crooked twig makes a crooked tree. Who G ever saw a boy grow up in idleness that did fa not make a vagabond when he became a man, N unless he had a fortune to keep up appear T. ances. The great mass of thieves, paupers M and crininals that fill our penitentiaries and D almshouses, have come to what they are by tI being brought up in idleness. Those whoP constitute the business part of the community, those who make our great and useful men, were trained up in their boyhood to be indus trious. -When a boy is old enough to play in the street, he is then old enough to be taught how I to work. Of course, we would not deprivea children of healthful, playful exercise, or the C time they should spend in study, but teach a them to work little by little, as a child is hi taught at school. In this way he will acquire f habits-of industry, which will not forsake him * when he grows up to be a man.' Many per. ce sons who are poor, let their ec~idren grow 1 up to fodrteeu or sixteen years of age, before tA they put them to lpbor. Such children, hay- s' ing no idea what work is, and having ac. ti quired habits of idleness, go to impose upon r the employers with laziness. There is a re- C pusiveness in c11 work set before them, and ii to get it done, no matter how, is theit- only ti aim. They, are ambitious at play, but dull at c work. The'-consequence is, they don't stick JI to one thing but a short time ; and they rove i about the 'world, get into miscie f, and finally 0 find their v.ay into the State prison or alms- d house,. Mary Fuller, a young girl imprwisoned in thu Ohio Pen\ntiary fog~counterfeltingimide her escape on the 1st instants from the Aifthi story of the prison, by passing out of her win dow and passing along thpe side of the building, upon they;nigeon'aie table,abonteighteen i4gehes broi.d. Passing along the front of the bulditmg at the immense height of fifty or sity feet from the ground, with nothing to hold to, and upon the projection scarcely visible from the ground, she reached, at a die tace of about forty feet from her room win dow, a place where it was jecessary for her to jump hbout twelve feet to the roof of the west wing. The leap was taken, proved a safe one, and the dauntless woman next fastened ~ to the corner of the roof a rope which she had C made of her bedding, grasped it in her hands, ~ and swinginglrom the roof passed down on the outside of the wall over windows where other convicts were sleeping, and down to T terra firma, where, at a distance of forty-five ~ feet below the roof, she alighted in the arms of a confederate.

That umpany labored long and hard to introduce eiir excellent paper into use; that estab hment is now doing well and making money r itsproprietors. It is now becoming gen -ally nuown to publishers that, good and eap paper is made at the South ; it is like that that branch of industry will be able take care of itself, particularly as the con uner-purchases directly from the manufac rer', which is not the case with manufactui trs in other branclhes, who can reach the msumer only through the merchant, who, he be like other men, will have his atten on directed to making money; and they in all succeed best in carrying out that ob et by selling goods that are made far away om home, for everybody knows the worth a leading article of home manufactured mestics, and therefog the trader may not e able to realize as large a profit as may itisfy la thst for gin.. We have in our mind Another branch of idistry which, though small, enters Into the enerallist of neglected employment--the anufac~are of silver ware. In old times, rhen from the -scarcity of money but little lIver ware ws used, almost every town in i South had its silversmith to make spoons, up, &. How stands the matter now? 'here is not a village in the trhole South there you may not find Yankee silver spoons >r sale, and we think it would be difficult to ad a silver smith at work anywhere in the tate, out of Charleston. Even that city oes not support, atitought to do, one silver caith. There is one -establishmeut in that ity which has been struggling for life for airty years past, scarcely able to live and inmost entirely unknown to the people of the tate, so far as trade goes. That establish ient has been working always against a hot lorthern competition, besides wind and tide gainst it in that proverbial indifference about outhern patron-ige to home industry. The roprietor of that one establishment is pro erbial for his honesty and industry, and has truggled through life and raised a family of seful descendants, but has ne'. amassed the realth that has been the better fortune of hose who dealt in Yankee silver ware. We inspected a beautiful silver tea set sade by the proprietor of that establishment, rhich was exhibited at the Institute Fair wo years ago, which, to the manufacturer's reat mortificatioin, did not get the highest prenium, which was awarded to articles of ankee'mnfa~fcture.
