LEE AND HUGH WILSON, JR. ABBEVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30, [SSL VOLUME X.?NO. 18, A BRIGHT TO-MOB&OW SY JENNIE MAY. Ever keep a bright to morrow, Though to day may cloudy be : Ever keep a bright to morrow, Draw not on futurity. On thy head may shadows gather, And the world look dark and dfoar But ever keep a bright to-morrow, Banish anguish, doubt, aud fear. Ever keep a briglic to morrow, For to-day will soon be past; Ever keep a bright to morrow, Looking upward to the last. Fortune's frowns may often gather, And thy pathway Joofc obscured, But to-morrow's sun will brighten, And thy pleasures be renewed. If the tongue of idle rumor Tells to thee a scandal talc Xiet the gentle ? inds of evening Be.n- i 11:.r o'er hill and dale. Jluii I uble steals upon thee, Klow that 3'ou inu^t bear a part v?f Earth's shadow when they gather Bound the altar or heart. "Alureaar not if frionds forsake thee, For the heart of man will change, And to-morrow's dawn ma}' bring thee 'Friends?for these a good exchange. Then over keep a bright to-morrow, Cheering all who round thee sLiy, Ever keep a bright to-morrow, Cast off Bhr.fiows of to-day. THE II i' nTiI R A C K, OF GENERAL ISRAEL l'UTKAM. Princeton, New Jersy, during the winter of 1777, was tho headquarters of General Israel Putnam, who, with a small corps of militia, held possession of the town, while the British was garrisoned at Brunswick? distant fifteen or twenty niiles eastward, The relative position of the colonies and Englaud at that period is well known ; yet, there are many little incidents of tin inter estincr naltipe: rnnnrflod Willi lliosn. limns which have faever been made public ; nu<l in which, not uufrequentlv, the brave A merican general took an active part. "Wc have something of this kind in view which Tre relate: One dark blistering night, near the close of January, of the year abo?c mentioned, a man, wrapped in a long Bable cloak, and closely muffled about the face, came forth from a atately mansion on one of the prici pal s.reots in Princeton and passed oft' in an easterly direction toward Brunswick. As he hurried forward, a hunchback in dividual crept away from a dark nook un - der the wall of an adjacent building end followed stealthily after him. On went the pursued ami pursuer, tread ingthe most secluded portion of the town, until the former reached the front of a sniail white cottage, situated a few rods from the road, almost eutirely enshrouded with' fhe^ foliage of stately treea, tho branches 61" which intermingled above the roof. It was very dark anJ the air was filled with sleet, yet a lamp burning in front of . the residence revealed the outline* of tho buildings and trees. The cloaked man paused a moment, and gazed suspiciously aaound him, when he discovered a carriage, with horses attached" standing not faraway. He then opened the gate,, entered Uie lawn, and moved on toward the house with ihe evident inten sion of calling. Lot us precede hiin by a "few moments. In a small nicely furnished apartment? a iVing room of tho cottagj ? sat a young jrtu^ , tuijiu twenty years 01 age. BD6 was. reading from a large volume, aided by the light of a globe lamp that .stood upon a center Jable, before which she was seated-,' The apaiutien! was 6Hed wilh a refulgent light,yet ?Iki windows were closely muffled ]ifi ord' i to give the appearance that the in mptcffiiad retired. * , * 'r * 4 The young lady to whom wa alluded had pat io the same position nt least two hour*, during, which time** her eyes, apparently, were fixed in a steady gaze on 'the open book, bttt she had not turned over a,single Uflrt 'JNm* evident that her mind wan 1- an/1 n H.imkA jvrw tiviU (fUUIIiyCI \Ji DJJUIS UK 1 which appeared * to have been tear drop*;* Upon a close ex? sminatioppi would hayo beep discovered Jhrtj&ir eyes were closed, and that her eyehwjS^ were njoiated with tears, while a* few had ttfcklpd down b6r checks arid fallen upon tbe oj^a j>age. ^ ^ ' While occupied the clock str uck the < hour of twelve?iokluight?^ben shrf etartc^up, cloaadUie book and Jeul >t Upon thK^wte^ T-hiJit tn&fieot m four raD Vas means in my power to effect his release, but have failed. IIo was taken as a npy, and has, probably, ero this suffered accord ing to the common usages ot' war,' 'O God '.'sobbed the pouug lady, falling on the floor and wringing her hands in the most acute agony. 'Must, Oh ! must ho dio i Is there no possible escape ?' 'Not the least 1'replied the man in the s line fl^id tone. 'I do beg of you to be more calm, for you will injure your own health, if you allow this matter to trouble you so severely and ho attempted to assist her to rise. lior gi let was instantly checked, and she sprang to her feet. The color bad entirely forsaken ber features, and sha 6tood as a 6tatuo, with her large lustrous eyes fixed in steady gazo upon the face of the man be fore her, TIenry! what do yoa mean ?' sho starn nicrud the moment that she could command her voice. ' J lave I been deceived ? Ilave you selfish motives in this matter? Great (jod, ilenrj', this is awful ! These words caused a sudden tremor to pass over the man's heart, and his chevlc fo uKincii, out, iue sensation was lmmeumteiy subdued, and Lis coutenaucc wore ils usual serenity. Lot us pause here and make the reader better acquainted with the peculiar position of these two persons ere we proceed any further. Col. Ransford, fin enthusiast in the cause of the colonies, and a particular friend of Gen. Putnam, was the owner of tlio cot tage to which we have alluded. II:s wife had been dead two years, during which limn Torino llinir nnlt' nltilrl liflfl onnorinlnn. ded her father's domestic affairs at 'Wil low Cottage,' as the place was familiarl} called. Edna was rich in knowledge and good ness of heart, possessed of great beauty, and her worldly prospects were such a9 to have attracted the attention of mauy suitors ; but entertaining no respect for the arts of a coquet, she had studiously avoided giving encouragements whcro her heart did not sympathize with the object. There was one, however, as might have oecn expected, to whom the heart of the high-minded. Edna could open with full cei.Science. That person was Ellis Dan forth, a private in l!>6 fcdcinl aiiny under Gen. Putnam. Ellis, by his uprjglit dopartment and bravery, had obtained tlic good opinion of i bis general, and the confidence of his fellow soldier?, lie was generous,.kind, courteous i and condescending j yet resolute arid de termined, when in pursuit of rirrht r nnfl exhibited a will and fixedness of more than ordinary capacity. Forty-eight hours preceding this inter view between Henry and Edna, Ellis, hav ing been intrusted with the important doty of spying out the movements of;the British garrison at Brunswick, was detected. The appalling news fell heavily.upon Edna's heart, and well nigh crushed it beneath lh&.; overwh elming grief. ?' Tlie younjr lhan?Ilenrv Ranslor<3<?who held the coiloctio with Edna, was her owu cousin. Five years before this period be was a suiior ' for l*er bah<$, nr>d bad beon most determined in bis endeavbrs to wiq her beart. She, however, had never en couraged bimy and supposed1 that be bad long since relinquished all claims a9 n lover, : (mim out 11 uu ovcu u?i\mrniin juiu ncr conu?

At a distance of thrde miles worth from Princeton was an old castlo residence to which young Dan forth' wao conducted, and there placed in a cell, after which his enp j tors returned toward the American cauip, j followed closely by the hunchback. ! Wo wiil now return to Edna in the wing room ot tuo'Willow Uottage." 4I may as well tell you, now, as at any future period,' observed llenry, the mo ment ho recovered his self-postession sub sequent to Edna's exclamation of surprise, 'that my heart is fully set upon obtaining you as my wife. This has been tbo sole purpose of my life for the past five years, : and I cannot give you up?I ciannot see you another's.' f or an instant there was a slight curl of contempt on Edna's finelv turned lins. nnd - - r > 1 a deep crimson linged her cheek ; but in n moment tlio sentiment subsided, and she replied 'Henry, years ago you sought this object and wa>- made acquainted with tny feelings on the subject. I then told you plainly and deci.hdly that I could not nor would not become your wife. Henry, you have de ceived me. While I was opening my heart to you as a brother, you were secrct? ly plotting my ruin. Hereafter I wish to have no acquaintance with you.

'I will-not go,' she replied sternly. 'I beliove that yoii have asserted A'~fnlsehood, for my..frtther was in this room not more than two hours ago,' and she sprang to the bell nord. Iler movements were bo ner? veous that the cord parted,- and she could distinctly hear the tingle of the silent holf. A moment of painful silene? ensued when he said : 'I told you that you were alone, hut you At that moment heavy steps were, heard approaching along the hall, and a moment thereafter tbo hunchback stood irf the ftnnrl Ttio l.s'ntA tnon?la. ....... ivvgv UI(lllinC| ?I?J U1I11V3 1 V ty hair and beard, aud his drawn sword which c - # ho used as a.caoe, reudcred him an interes ting object..

I wish I could tell yoxc and them, how much wo feel for nil those who liavo <rr>tin to n?Iit for our lights, our liberties, and our firesides.
