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. *

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

and has, probably, ero this suffered accord

'O God '.'sobbed the pouug lady, falling
on the floor and wringing her hands in the
most acute agony. 'Must, Oh ! must ho

'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

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

couraged bimy and supposed1 that be bad

He was a captain in the American army,

who looked upon the yonng officer as a
brave, honorable roj?h. *.

As tiK>y were moving away from the
scene of capture, a hunchbacked individual
rose up and followed cautiously aflcr them.
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

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 do not

'Henry, for shame, to insult your friend
or at least one who has been your friend.
Leave me or I will rir>g for assistance.'

'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 :

At that moment heavy steps were, heard
approaching along the hall, and a moment

the hunchback, bestowing a withering look'
upon the young captain. *

A WOMAN'S LETTER
Tlie following prettily written letter^
from one of Georgia's far daughters. wag
lot intended for publication ; but we vio-.
ate no propriety in giving it to our rea r
lers, a3 an example of the spirit of patriot
ism and devotion which Animate the noble?
fienrted women of Georgia, and of tlio
uonfadaracy,. in our , present troubles.
Surely, wh?n trie brave soldiar of the South
i^oes to the battle field, the nssuranec that
tlis prayers,, and tmile?, and hopes of wo
man are with mm, will nerve him doubly
for the conflict, and give reneweu strength
to each blow thut lie strikes for his home
And his liberties. ^ We append the letter:
My Deaxi Fkiend-:?Enclosed, I send
you fifty dollars (^50), to apply at your
own discretion?for the reliel of the sick
and wounded soldiers from Georgia, or any
other part of the 'Southern Confederacy.
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. And while our sympathies
are all enliste-d in their bshalf, and our
prayers go up to the 'God of battles,' that
their 'heads may be covered* in the day of
conflict, and-thcir hearts made brave and
their arms strong, so that one man*.may
chase a hundred, and ten put a thousand
to flight, we will- never withhold that more
material aid, without whieh sympathy anc}
prayers would be- unavailing.
And when I say for myself, that I will
ncv;i_r n|>v;iiu tilO litSb Ul'llt X IiaVC lOT OUT
soldiers, and llic cause lliey nr-? *> nolity
defending, x am only ulteriug tlie senti
ments of every Iruo hearted woman in our
Confederacy.
We have wept over the fale of our
brave soldiers. wliilo wo n-oro r?rt.?ir???i<? nf

their victory. A wail of woe, went up
from our midst, wlipn we heard of the
death of tho giillant Bartow, and- his do
voted hand. But lio'w glojiously they
have illustrated our State! IJia parting
words were indeed prohetic: '1 go to illus
trate Georgia.' V
>> e racist noL iet'1 too much depressed by
temporary defeat, nor too jubilant aLtem
porary suoocss?for many a true hearlcl
soldier will belaid low, and luanj- a heart
wrung with anguish before cur final vie
lory is won. But it will be won ; the
conviction that we shall cQmo off\con
rjuerors, is writtenvupon my soul, as with
a 'pen of iron,'/-.Arid do impress upon the
soldiers, that t|>py are constantly in our
thoughts, that wo are leorlcing for them,
while they are fvjhliriy for us?rand that
i heir wants shall all be supplied, as long as
there is a woman or a dollar left in tho
