EDITH WARREN, A TALE OF THE REVOLUTION. r About a quarter of a mile from t Collyb-xrk's Poi:nt, on a beautiful little knoll, stood, in the tOne of'! -the Rvolation, a ne.t and prettv a (for those days'it was very pretty) American farm house, which was inhabited by an old native whom z we shall call Adam Warren. his "better moiety," and two lovely f< daughters, just budding into Wo;- r -manhood. From the piazza of the a house the view of the surrouindin g b country was beautiful. The ma- h jestic Indson, a short distance from the doorway-the Highlands, and the tall trees with their rieb s folag', made it a seene almost en. a ebanting. The quiet and peace of! the good old flrmers were not dis turbed in those days by the noise p of steamboats and other river craft: a holy calm pervaded al" around. and nature seemed fairly intoxi- t cated with her own loveilncss. Close by the kitchen door of tle farm house was a well, whicb was 1f .said to be over an hundred icet deep ; at the bottom of which old t gossips shrewdly hinted that "lots p ofgold" was buried to prevent its getting into the hands of tI i rit I ish and Hessians. Adam Warren's houwe was t'wo stories high, very i1 large and commodious. with pien ty of room flor his family, and more b to spare "for cornpany." In those c days paintrs and carpenters were not so plenty as they are now, you o 3)robably know, gentle reader, and n itherefore Adam Warren was pre- d wented from having the external :Uppearance of his house looking jst as he wanted it-for he wa a* inzn of very great taste, and ra- t ther upper ten-thousandish in his i views. it was the close of the last dav e of the summer of 1783, h:at our P o commences. It had been a u lovey day, and the departing rays <f the sun shed a rich lustre en t the ,urrounding scenery, whieb a mai.'. it more picturesque and bvau- p tife& that ever. Adam had just tiois-'ed his supper, when the new: 411ired that an intimate friend of Ihis had falen from a tree. broi.ken b1h his legs, and was not. x i) (t ci to survive. It wasa dist W.f over ten miles ; and although - Xdarn hal been hard at work aL r day in the field. he resolvel 10 t ; off immlediatC'. ATIer eI.n- tha-b everything wa safe andt, r-ai" the house, (for Adam Wrn wa it man pretty w 3 o d"> i -b 1 world') he had "13Biack l I3S S" ! died for the ride. lIo ha r-l I quently gone away and lft I is famniiv alone before, a' hough those were dangerous times to do so ;1 and, as they had ne-vcr b.:en n) losted, he felt no foar this time, as s they seemed perfetly wi!ing~ to star alonme. and exerted themire mx considierably to get him off. "'Mind. Mart ha. keep lhe house a well fastenmed," said A dam to hii a wife as lhe mounted his hors'." have the rifles well loaded in thie i g tret, and you will findi plenity of p)owd~er and shot in the iron chbest t if' you want it.

His wife andl daughiter watebleda him from the piazza until he~ was mt out of sight. and the noise of his horse's hoofs had d'ied( away.
