Id June, 1781, General Greene was driven back from bis attack on Lord Rawdon at Ninety-Six. Iq the re? i n l T treat v^uiuutrio jucc au u ?? oouiugiuu o cavalry formed the rearguard against the pursuing British, Greene struck camp in theforkof Broad andEnoree rivers, now Union county, near which camp lived the well-tc-do planter, John Geiger, a lover of liberty, and the father of Emily G.iger. who was then eighteen years of age. She often expressed a desire to render some seivice in aid of the American cause. General Greene desiring to communicate with General Sumter on the lower Wateree, found no one so ready to carry a message, it being extremely dangerous, the road covering a distance of one hundred miles through a Tory country; This fair girl learning this, offered to carry the despatch, as she was well acquainted with the route. Her cfLr was accepted. She memorized the despatch so as to deliver veibilly, if the paper should be lost. Mounting a good horse, she began her long ride alone, which led her through the Dutch Fork of this, Lex ington county, by the present town of Spring Hill, on the old Charleston road, crossing the Saluda at old Saluda Factory, then across the Congaree above the old Cayce residence. She made the tiip safely till in the road, about where Brookland now staude, she was arrested by three BritLh soldiers, who took her btfoie Lord Riwdon who was camped one mile away. She being considered a suspicious character, his lordship, questioned her closely, and ordered her put in an upper I _ _ room of the guard bouse. ^.Ybile there alone she swallowed this important paper. A woman came in, ' searched her thoroughly, end finding ! nothing suspicious, Lord Raw-don's ! honor forced him to liberate her. An I escort was ordered with her to the house of a friend, not fir away where she rested a few hour?, and get another horse. Continuing her journey all Digbt, and through the heat of the next day, until neai 3 o'clock she met a detachment of American soldiers who conducted her to Ccnl ! Sumter. Although nearly fainting i from hunger and weariness she the e ; repeated the message to the aston j ished "Game Cock" officer. General Sumter's men were linec up for marching crdeis in one hour to move to the aid of General Greene John Gciger, after two weeks oi ""pninc^ cinpo T-'.rri-lc- Ipff. hriiriP_ U'9< J l*U"J/^UOW OIMVV J~* -*-? ** J s ^ v .. j made tonjoice in her triumphant | return, which fiihd his soul wiil I emotioD9 of love unspeakable.

Emily afterwards married Col. j Threwitts (or Tbrewits) a farmer of i her neighborhood, in Union couDty. ! She attended the great reception j given Gen. Ln Fayette in Charleston j i ir 1824. They afterwards moved to Gran by, j below Broobland, where she reached ! an old age, died and was buried ten j miles below Columbia, in the ThreI wits' bury iDg ground, near the "State" ' road and not far from the present j home of Dr. William Geiger. The grave of this Doble revolutionj ary heroine is unmarked. The story of the fimous ride of Eaiily Geiger is told io the follow| iDg poem. Nicety-Six was then called Cam: bridge. ; The royal troops are fi jckiug down 1 he slippery streets of Cambridge town: And over the hills, from near and Jar, Come the men of Bntim armed lor war. "This last of onrpests we'llhold till death,'" | Said the chief of the Tories; "by my faith, The Whigs shall feel ere tomoirow night The squadrons of Rawdon in their might." j ' A loyal maid had heard the ojth. And she vowel by every holy tro'h. Vowed by the throne of God who made her, i She would outwit the f?.ll invader. I To her country's camp she hies with speed, 'Twas an hour with them of sorest need. : Tho' the general knew her story true, Not a man could he spare such work to do. IA message runs' go without delay, To the men of Sumter miles away, To warn him of Lord Rawdon's hasty move; Ha must mass men below and above To weary Lord Rawdon's army down. And check its march cnCambridge town. Then Emily Gciger's heart beat high; She would take the message through or die The fearless maiden is riding away From the tierce shouts and din of the fray. Wheu the clouds of smoke, with angry frown, Hid3 the bloody streets of Ciinbridge town. Through lonely paths of the thick pine woods >\ acre lories luru in somuues. With soul of darirg, and heart of trust. She bravely rides through the wayside dust. In the fold of her rich bosom's swell The precious letter lay hidden wtll. 1 In the midst ot sombre forest land, Two Tories meet her and bid her stand. They too:; her to a house o'er the brake And brought a woman a ecarch to make. L?ft to bereelf, in a wild flutter, The daring girl swallowed the letter. i They searched her and researched but naught could see. i And so they bade her, "Go and he free." Emily Ge;ger mounted again; She plied the whip and she pulled the I CI , And ere the firefly lighted his lamp. She had told her tale at Sumter's camp.

List summer my little daughter had the dysentery iu its worst form. We thought she would die. I tried everything I could think cf, but nothing seemed to do her any good. I saw by an advertisement in cur paper that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at once. It proved to be one c: the very best medicines we ever had ia the house. It saved my little daughter's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicine it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved ine a great deal of anxiety and my little daughter much suffering.?Yours truly, Mrs G ?o. F. Rurdncb, Lib erty. It. I For sale by J. E Kiufmann. SHE HAS A NEW VALISE. Why She Bon^lil ft and Why, Also, She Will Xot Lend It. A Portland woman tells this story, which may have a moral: Several years ago her husband made her a present of a traveling has made of black Itussia leather, handsomely mounted and strong and serviceable She had had it only a few days when the sister-in la w of her hoarding mistress borrowed it to take Willi her to the White mountains. It looked so much nicer than her own was her apology.

Then another friend was to make visit of a few weeks in Montreal Could she take it? She could and did By this time the new look had vanished. and still its owner had Lad no occasion to carry it. One evening a favorite cousin called, lie was captain of a hrig which was to sail for the coast of Africa the next: day. but he himself was going on i steamer via England. Did his cousin have a valise she wouldn't need for sis months or so? Reluctantly me traveling bag was produced, and that: was the last time the lady saw it for two years, when it reached her by tin hand of h sailor from the brig. Rut it was in such a battered and forlorn condition that she consigned It to the waste barrel. In the meantime she 1 ad bought a new valine. which she declined to lend. ?Lewistou (Me.; Journal. ? - r* n * o A M f\ M nw matisni and Pore?. Price, 25 cents Sold !>y Julian K. Kaufman n.

Ta Image. who during: his Journey homeward lias seen much of j royal anil imperial splendors, in pass- ! ing through the capitals of Europe, j ' shows that there is no hitrlier dignity I J ? | nor more illustrious station than those ! j which the Christia . has as a child of i ; God; text, Judges viii, 18, "Each one j ! ^ I , resembled the children of a kiu^r." Zebah and Zalinuiuia bad been off to j battle and when they came back tliey i were asked what kind of people they had seen. They answered that the people had a royal appearance; "caeh I one resembled the children of a king." That description of people is not exI tinet. There are still many who have this appearance. Indeed, they are the sons and daughters 01 me i.oru ai- i mighty. Though now in exile, they J shall yet come to their thrones. There | are fa?iily names that stand for J wealth, or patriotism, or intelligence. | The name of Washington among us j will always represent patriotism. The i | family of the Medici stood as the re- j i presentative of letters. The family of j the Rothschilds is significant of wealth, the loss of S-iO.OOd.OOO in 1813 putting j them to no inconvenience: and within a few years they have loaned Russia | $12,000,000. Naples. $25,000,000, Austria, $40,000,000, and England $200,000,000: and the stroke of their pen on the counting room desk shakes everything from the Irish sea to the Danube. They open their hand, and there is war; they shut it and there is peace. The Roman- ! offs of Russia, the Ilohenzollcrus of Germany, the Rourbons of France, the Stuarts and Guelphs of Great Britain ' are houses whose names are intertwined with the history of their respective nations symbolic of imperial authority. , But I preach of a family more potential, more rich, and more extensive? the royal house of Jesus, of whom the whole family in heaven and on earth ' is named. We are blood relations by | the relationship of the cross; all of us are the children of the King. The Ancestral Line. First, I speak of our family name, j When we see a descendant of some one j greatly celebrated in the last century, i we look at him with profound inter- | est. To have had conquerors, kings or j princes in the ancestral line gives lus- j ter to the family name. In our line ; was a King and Conqueror. The Star i in the East with baton of light woke up the eternal orchestra mat made \ music at his birth. From thence he j started forth to conquer all nations, j not by trampling them down, but by j lifting them tip. St. Jolm saw him on I a white horse. When he returns, he i will not bring the nations chained to his wheel or in iron cages; but I bear I the stroke of tlie hoofs of the snow ! white cavalcade that brings them to the gates in triumph. Our family name takes luster from the star that heralded him, and the spear that pierced him, and the crown j that was given him. It gathers fra- j grance from the frankincense brought j to his cradle, and the lilies that flung j their sweetness into his sermons, and j the box of alabaster that broke at bis | feet. The Comforter at Bethany. The j Resurrector at Nain. The supernatural Oculist at Bethsaida. The Saviour of f one world, and the chief joy of another. The storm his frown. The sunlight j . i Ills Sill lie. i ne spring uiujuju^ jiio breath. The earthquake the stamp of i his foot. The thunder the whisper of ( his voice. The ocean a drop on the tip j of his linger. Heaver a sparkle on the bosoui of his love. Eternity the twinkling of his eye. The universe the fly- : ing dust of his chariot wheels. Able to heal a heartbreak, or hush a tempest. or drown a world, or flood im- ; j nieusity with his glory. What other ! family name could ever boast of such | an illustrious personage? j Henceforth, swing out the coat of I arms! Great families wear their coat of arms on the dress, or on the door of the coach, or on the helmet when ; they go out to battle, or ou flags and j ensigns. The heraldic sign is sometimes a lion, or a dragon, or an eagle. Our coat of arms worn >ight over the heart, hen-after shall be a cross, a iamb standing under it, and a dove J flying over it. Grandest of all escutcheons! Most significant of all family escutcheons! In every battle I must j have it blazing on my flag?the dove, the cross, the lamb; and when I fall, ! wrap m<4 in that good old Christian ! flag, so that the family coat of arms j shall be right over my breast, that all ! the world may see that 1 looked to the ; Tl-."

On whom my hopes of life depend: No! When 1 blush, be this my shame? That I no more revere his name. Next, I speak of the family sorrows, j If trouble come to one member of the family, all feel it It is the custom, after the body is lowered into the grave, for all the relatives to come to the verge of the grave and look down i Into it. First those nearest the tie- I parted come, then those next of kin, j until they have all looked into the j grave. So, when trouble and grief go down through the heart of one member i of the family, they go down tnrougn ; them all. The sadness of one is the sadness of all. A company of persons I ! join hands around an electric battery; ; the two persons at the ends of the line touch the battery and all the circle ' feels the shock.

Next. J notice tlio family pi perty. After a man of large estate dies, the relatives assemble to lmar the will v- .el. So much of the property is willed to his sous, and so much to his daughters, and so much to benevolent societies. Our Lord Jesus hath died, and we arc assembled today to hear | the will read. Lie soys, "My peace I ! give unto you." Through his apostle I he says, "All things are yours." What, J everything? Yes, everything! This . world and the next. Iu distinguished : families there are old pictures hang- i ing on the wall. They are called the J "heirlooms" of the estate. They are ! very old, and have come down from , generation to generation. So I look j upon all the beauties of the natural i world as the heirlooms of our royal family. The morning breaks from the east. The mists travel up, hill above hill, mountaiu above mountain, until sky lost. The forests are full of ! chirp, and buzz, and song. Tree's leaf and bird's wing flutter with gladness. Honey makers iu the log. and beak against the bark, and squirrels chat tering on the rail, and the call of the hawk out of a clear sky make you feel glad. The sun, which kindles conflagrations among lue castles of cloud and sets j minaret and dome aflame, stoops to j paint the lily white, and the buttercup yellow, and the forgetmenot blue. What can resist the sun? Light for the voyager over the deep! Light for the shepherd guarding tlie flocks aflehl! | Light for the poor who have no lamps j to burn! Light for the downcast and I the lowly! Light for aching eyes and burning brain and wasted captive! i Light for the smooth brow of child- 1 hood and for the dim vision of the . octogenarian! Light for queen's cor- j ouet and for sewing girl's needle! Let | there be light! Whose morning is this? , My morning. Your morning. Our j Father gave us the picture and hung 1 it on the sky la loops of fire. It is the heirloom of our family. And so the night. It is the full moon. The mists from shore to shore gleam like shattered mirrors, and the ocean under her : glance comes up with great tides, ' nnnttnir minn thr? lir-nrh milltrlinsr. as it were, foam and fire. The poor man blesses God for throwing such a cheap ; light through the broken window pane Into his cabin, and to the sick it seems a light from the other shore which ; bounds this great deep of human pain 1 and woe- If the sun seem like a song full and poured from brazen lnstru- j nients that fill heaven and earth with ! great harmonies, the moon is plaintive ; and mild, standing beneath the throne j of Cod. sending up her soft, sweet ] voice of praise, while the. stars listen, and the sea. No mother ever more : sweetly guarded the sick cradle than all night long this pale watcher of the sky bends over the weary, heartsick, slumbering earth. Whose is this black framed, black tasseled picture of the night? It is the heirloom of our i family. Ours the grandeur of the spring, the crystals of the snow, the coral of the beach, the odors of the garden, the harmonies of the air. You cannot see a large estate In one mnrnintr Yon must take several walks around it. The family property of this royal house of Jesus is so great that we must take several walks to get any i idea of its extent. Let the first walk be around this earth. All these valleys. the harvests that wave in them, and the cattle that pasture them?all these mountains, and the precious tilings hidden beneath them, and the crown of glacier they cast at the feet of the alpine hurricane?all those lakes, these islands, these continents, : are ours. lu the second walk go j among the street lamps of heaven, and j , see stretching off on every side a ! wilderness of worlds. For us they ' : shine. For us they sang at a Saviour's , nativity. For us they will wheel into . line, and with their Uamirig torches 1 , add to the splendor of our triumph on the day for which all other days were made. In the third walk, go around ] the eternal city. As we come near it, ; < hark to the* rush of its chariots, aud thy ' wedding peal of its groat towers. The i . hell of heaven has struck 12. It is ! ; high noon. We look oT upon the chap- i lets which never fade, the eyes that t 1 never weep, the temples that never ( close, the loved ones that never part, j the procession that never halts, the . trees that never wither, tho walla that never can he captured, the sun that never sets, uutil we can no longer gaze, and we hide our eyes and ex- 1 ( claim: "Eye hath not seen, nor ear . heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God ! hailj prepared for them that love him!" j As these tides of glory rise, we have to retreat and hold fast lest we he sv.-ept nfr ijm.i drowned in. the emotions of Cold Sieel or Doath. j (( ''There is but one amaU chance to < save >our li'e and that is through an j opeiVioo," wa? the awful p?o-pect ; 1 B't before Mrs. I.

The Lord, the bridegroom of earth and heaven, offers you his heart ami his hand, saying in the words of the Canticles: "Rise up my fove. my fair one. and come away," and once having put on thy hand the signet ring of his love, you will be endowed with "?]1 the wealth of earth, and all the honors of heaven. of FternltT. Almost every family looks bark to a homestead- some country place where you grew up. You sat on the doorsill. You heard the footsteps of the rain on the garret roof. You swung on the gate. You ransacked the barn. You waded into the brook. You thrashed the orchard for apples, and the neighboring woods for nuts: and everything around the old homestead is of interest to you. I tell you of the old homestead of eternity. "In my Father's hanse are many mansions." When we talk of mansions, we think of Chatsworth. and Its nark, nine miles in circumference, and Its conservatory, that astonishes the world; its galleries of art, that contain the triumphs of Chantrev, Canova and Thorwaldsen; of the kings and the queens who have walked its stately halls, or, flying over the heather, have hunted the grouse. But all the dwelling places of dukes, and princes, and queens, are as nothing to the family mansion that is already awaiting our arrival. The hand of the Lord Jesus lifted the pillars, and swung the doors, and planted the parks. Angels walk there, and the good of all ages. The poorest man in that house is a millionaire. and the lowliest a king, and the tamest word he speaks is an anthem, and the shortest life an eternity. It took a Buxton to build for Chats- I worth a covering for the wonderful flower Victoria regin. five feet in diameter. But our lily of the valley shall need no shelter from the blast, and in the open gardens of God shall put forth Its full bloom, and all heaven shall come to look at it, and its aroma shall be as though the cherubim had swung before the throne a thousand censers. I have not seen it yet. I am iu a foreign land. But my Father is waiting for me to come home. I have hrntiuirs nnd sisters there. In the Bible I have letters from there, telling me what a fine place it is. It matters not much to me whether I am rich or poor, or whether the world hates me or loves me. or whether I go by land or by sea. If only I may lift my eyes at last on the family mansion. It is not a frail house, built in a month, soon to crumble, but an old mansion, which is as firm as the day it was built. Its walls are covered with the Ivy of many ages, and the urns at the gateway are a-bloom with the century plants of eternity. The queen of Sheba hath walked its halls, and Esther, and Marie Antoinette, and Lady Huntingdon, and Cecil, and Jeremy Taylor, and Samuel Rutherford, and John Milton, a.nd the widow who gave two mites, and the poor men from the hospital?these last two perhaps outshining all the kings and queens of eternity. A Celestial Reunion. A family mansion means reunion. Some of your families are very much scattered. The children married, and went off to St. Louis, or Chicago, or Charleston; but perhaps once a year you come together at the ohl place. How you wake up the old piano that has boeu silent for years! (Father and mother do not play on it.) How you bring out the old relics, and rummage the garret, and open old serapbooks, and shout, and laugh, and cry, and talk over old times, and, though you may be 4o years of age, act as though ( you were 10! Yet soon it is good by at the car window, and good by at the steamboat wharf. But bow will we act at the reuniou iu the old family mansion of heaven? It is a good while since < you parted at the door of the grave. There willftbe Grace, and Mary, and Martha, unv^harlie. and Lizzie, and all the darlit^^p*' your household?uot pale, and siek\anu gasping for breath, as when you 4aw theu.last, but their eye bright witlikthe luster di heaven, and their cheek rVsoafe with ilie flush of celestial suminciV What clasping hands! What cm bracings! Wli.it cwmlug together ?>f lip to lip! What tears o^oyl Von say. ' I thought there wiJ^ffjo tears in heaven." There inusHtp. for the Bible says that "Cod shall wipe them away," and If there were no tears there, how could he wipe them away? They cannot be tears of grief or tears of disappointment. They must be ' tears of gladness. Christ will come and say: "What! Child of heaven, is it too much for thee? Dost thou break down ' under the gladness of this rcuniou? Then I will help thee." And, with his one arm around us and the other arm , around our loved ones, he shall bohl 1 us up in the eternal jubilee. ProriiKQla at Home. . While I speak, souie of you with broken hearts can hardly bold your peace. You feel as if you would spe-ak out and say: "Oh. blessed day! speed on.
