BAGGAGE TRAIN. . JESSIE BROWN. Every woman ha, or ought to have taken a peculiar interest in the East India, that fearful tragedy of the Summer of eighteen hundred and fifty-seven, for woman has here borne a part, and occupied a position such as she has not often occupied among the nations of the earth ; aye, and the great rallying cry of this battle has been the name and the honor of woman ! When the tidings of au insurrection among the Sepoys of India first reached us last Summer, nobody felt any especial interest or sympathy with cither party ; nav, it might have been that what existed of these was partially with the insurgents ; for this revolt was felt by many to be the rising up of the oppressed against the oppressors, the long delayed retaliation of a people who had borne what the weak usually have to bear from the strong, aud whom long years of unjust taxation and petty tyrannies had at last goaded to rebellion. But a little later there rose a cry from that far olF land, seated in its wondrous tropical beauty on the blue waters of the Indian ocean ; a cry that smote the heart of Christendom as the heart of a single man. No wonder there was swift arming 'in noble's hall, and by peasant's hearthstone, for the moans of murdered women, and the cries of slaughtered children, came piteously across the Summer waters, and roused all the old Teutonic chivalry in the heart of the nation, and throughout the laud strong men with blanched faces lifted their hands and swore to avenge the wrongs of woman, in the name of the God of battles I Oh, it is this reverence for woman that shines a bright and steady light over all tho darkness and barbarism of the early Teutonic race ; it is this that, next to the Bible, has placed tho Saxon nation so far above all the nations of the earth, the brightest star of all her stars of strength and glory. But through all the sickening and revolting details of this war the newspapers have given us pictures of scenes, which, for tragical power and living jatlios, surpass the history of any war tho earth has ever witnessed. What painter ever conceived of a scene like the one where that band of .soldiers clustered around the body of the murdered girl ; and each reverently receiving one of the tresses that had crowned her young head in lite and innocence, bent with haggard brows and fiery eyes over their fearful task of counting the hairs therein, before tiiey all lifted their hands and swore that for every one of these another life should make recompense. Oh, English maiden girl ! terrible as was thy fate in the fair land of thy father's adoption, surely thou wast avenged, and it may bo from the grave made by thy foul murderers, thy voice, could it speak, would come back softly to us. " In the midst of wrath, remember mercy !" Who, too, has not read the letter of that lady of Lucknow. We pity the man orthe woman who could do it with dry eyes and steady voice. ' How simply she tells her story a story, that, for tragical interest and heroic patience, has never, injall the annals of ancient or modern history, been surpassed. Here, in the heart of this practical nine teenth century, was enacted a drama, whose scenes of terror, despair, and final deliverance, exceeded all that it ever entered into tho heart of genius to conceive of. The days of the Cresars, the wars of the Crusades, never furnished a tragedy like this. . Just think of it ! Those helpless women had been imprisoned for months, in the Residency at Lucknow, with only that little band of brave men to stand between them and a death so terrible that imagination turns away sickened and appalled at the thought ; but one can well conceive how that " unutterable horror," at Cawnpore, only a few miles distant, haunted them by night and by day, seemingly a frightful prophecy of the fate that awaited them. Their foes, " fifty thousand against a few hundred," were pressing closer and closer foes who carried beneath the faces of men hearts before which it seemed fiends must shrink abashed. Yet how calmly writes that brave lady from Lucknow I " We were fully persuaded that in twenty-four I hours all would be over. The engineers had said so,

and all knew the worst. We women strove to encour- ' age each other, and to perform the light duties which had been assigned to us, such as conveying orders to the batteries, and supplying the men with provisions, which we performed day and night" She had gone out to render some offices of this kind with " Jessie Brown," tho wife of a corporal in her husband's regiment. Worn out with fatigue and that haunting terror of the to come, the two women sank upon the ground. Poor Jessie wrapped her Scotch plaid about her, and laid her head in her mistress's lap. " A constant fever consumed her, and she had fallen away visibly for the last few days," while her thoughts continually wandered away to the purple hills and green yalleys of her Scotch home. How touching are those words : " I promised to awaken her when, as she said, her father should return from the ploughing !" So the poor Scotch woman sank to her sleep, under those burning midnight skies, amid dreams of her cool, native heather, and of the peaceful cottage threshhold where she watched for her father's coming at nightfall. Her companion, too, sank into a troubled slumber, though the cannon was roaring near her, for the brave little band on the batteries, though all hope had now forsaken them, had resolved only to yield with their lives. Suddenly a wild, unearthly scream struck through the lady's slumber. She opened her eyes, and there stood Jessie Brownt her figure upright, and her white, sharpened face bent eagerly forward. Suddenly the light of a great joy overswept her face. ' She bent forward and grasped the lady's hands, and drew her close to her, crying with quivering lips, " Dinna ye hear itl Dinna ye hear it ! It's the Slogan, o' the Highlanders 1 We're saved 1 we're saved !" Ah, she knew it, she knew it ! the old war cry of her Highland home. Her ears had caught, through all the din and roar of artillery, the music of her native mountains. What pen can tell the joy that filled the Scotch woman's soul at those well remembered sounds, or with what feelings she knelt down and blessed the God of her fathers for this deliverance ! But the poor English lady heard nothing of this. The " rattle of the musketry" only broke the stillness of night, and she thought " Jessie was still raving" as she sprang to the batteries, and her voice rang up loud and clear above all the roar of the fight : " Courage 1 courage 1 hark to the Slogan to the Macgregor the grandest o' them a' here's help at last!" As her voice pealed along the line, a new hope sprang to the hearts of those worn out men. They ceased firing, and listened as the dying listen for some hope of life. But thev only heard the tread of the enemy, and the sound of the Sappers ; and the Colonel shook his head, aud the men's heads sank again, and I

the wail ot the women who had nocked to the spot at that cry of joy rose up and filled the midnight with moans. Then Jessie, who had sunk on the ground sprung up, and her voice rose and vibrated once more in triumphant certainty along the line : " Will ye no' believe it noo ! The Slogan indeed has ceased, but the Campbells are coming ! D' ye hear ! d' ye hear !" And then they did hear it those wailing women those worn out men ! Sharp and clear there swelled, above the thunder of the cannon, the pibroch of the Higlilanders, and they knew that deliverance was at hand. No wonder they thought " the voice of God" was in the blast of the Scottish bagpipes ; no wonder they all sank on their knees, and the strong man, and the feeble woman, and the lisping child, sobbed out from hearts too full for words their thanks unto Him who had ' given them the victory." Oh, speaking as men speak, would it not have been worth some years of a lifetime, to have been with that little band at Lucknow as it rose up, and to have joined in the shout which . swelled fro n a thousand lips, and rolled down to the Highland regiment, as it never rolled before, " God tave the Queen !" ' ' How the sound must have thrilled the hearts of the Highlanders, as they answered loud and eager with that sweet old tune, " Should auld acquaintance be forgot." No, blessed be God ! they had not forgotten " auld lang syne ;" for through toil and weariness, and forced marches, under, those burning skies, they had come, bringing deliverance, when, had they delayed for rest through another day, all would have been over I" Oh, Jessie Brown ! Jessie Brown ! brave Scotch woman, you had your reward when they led you before the General, whoso name his country will delight to honor, as he entered the Fort that night, and when

your health was drunken at the officer's banquet, and the pipers marched round the table to the sweet tune of auld lang syne. You shall have your reward, too, in knowing that, wherever, over all the earth, the English tongue is spoken, your name shall be a household word, honored and beloved ! And when many years have passed away, and we sit, gray haired grandiathers and grandmothers, amid our homes, and our grand-children gather in the long winter evening around us, and listen eagerly while we tell them of the fearful slaughter of Cawnpore, we will tell them also ot the deliverance at Luchnow, and the brave story of " Jessie Broicn." y. f. T. A BEAUTIFUL NARRATIVE. We think we have nowhere seen a more simple touching and beautiful narrative, showing the power of truth, than this which follows. It is from the pen of S. II. Hammond, the author of Country Margins, and a most pleasing and genial writer. I witnessed a short time ago, in one of our higher courts, a beautiful illustration of the simplicity and power of the truth. A little girl nine years of age was olfered as a witness against a prisoner who was on trial for felony committed in her father's house. " Now, Emily," said the council for the prisoner, upon her being offered as a witness, " I desire to know it you know the nature of an oath V" I don't know what you mean," was the simply answer. " There, your Honor," said the counsel, addressing the court, " is anything further necessary to demonstrate the validity ot my objection? This witness should bo rejected. She does not comprehend the nature of an oath." " Let us see," said the Judge. " Come here, my daughter." Assured by the kind tone and manner of the Judge, the child stepped toward him, and looked confidingly upon his face, with a calm, clear eye, and in a manner so artless and frank that it went straight to the heart. " Did you ever take an oath 1" inquired the Judge. The little girl stepped back with a look of horror, and the red blood mantled in a blush all over her face and neck, as she answered : " ' " No, sir." She thought he intended to inquire if she had ever blasphemed. " I do not mean that," said the Judge, who saw her mistake, " I mean were you ever a witness before ?" " No, sir, I was never in court before," was the answer. , - -t Ho handed her the Bible open. " Do you know that book, my daughter '" She looked at it and answered : " Yes, sir, it is the Bible." " Do you ever read it ?" ho asked. " Yes, sir, every evening." " Can you tell me what the Bible is ?" inquired the

Judge. " It is the word of the great God," she answered. . " Well, place your hand upon this Bible, and listen to what I have to say ;" and he repeated slowly and solemnly the oath usually administered to witnesses. " Now," said the Jud, " you have been sworn as a witness; will you tell me what will befall you if you uo not tell the truth t "I shall be shut up in the State Prison," answered the child. "Anything else ?" asked the Judge. "I shall not go to Heaven," she replied. "How do you know this ?" said the Judge again. The chilli took the Bible, and turned rapidly to the chapter containing the Commandments, pointed to the injunction, "Thou shalt not bear-false witness against thy neighbor." "I learned that," she said, "before I could read." "Has any one talked to you about being a witness in court here against this man ?" inquired the Judge. "Yes, sir" she replied. "My mother heard they wanted me to do a witness, and last night she called me to her room and asked me to tell her the Ten Commandments, and then we kneeled down together, and sue prayed that I might understand how wicked it was to bear false witness against my neighbor, and that God would help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it was before him. And when I came up here with father she kissed me and told me to remember the ninth commandment, and that God would hear every word that I said." ' , "Do you believe this ?" asked the Judge, while a tear glistened in his eye and his hps quivered with emotion. "Yes, sir," said the child, with a voice and manner that showed her conviction of the truth was perfect. "God bless you, my child," said the Judge, "you have a good mother. This witness is competent,"' he continued. "AVere I on trial for my life, and innocent of the charge against me, I would pray God for such witnesses as this. Let her be examined." She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was, but there was a directness about it which carried conviction of its truth to every heart. She was rigidly cross-examined. The counsel plied her with infinite and ingenious questionings, but she varied from her first statement in nothing. The truth, as spoken by that little child, was sublime. Falsehood and perjury had preceded her testimony. The prisoner had intrenched himselt in lies, until he deemed himself impregnable. Witnesses had falsified facts in his favor, and villainy had manufactured for him a sham defense. But before her testimony falsehood was scattered like chaff. The little child, for whom a mother had prayed for strength to be given her to speak the truth as it was before God, broke the cunning device of matured villainy to pieces like a potter's vessel. The strength that her mother had prayed for was given ner, and the sublime and terrible simplicity (terrible, I mean, to the prisoner and his perjured associates.) with which she spoke, was like a revelation from God himself. AN OVERWHELMING SrEECH BYA WIDOW The Hon. George N. Briggs, ex-Governor of Massachusetts, delivered a temperance address some time since, in the course of which he related the followin" anecdote with thrilling effect: . " Mr. Briggs said this question of the introduction of intoxicating drinks assumed somewhat of a practical form last Spring in a thriving borough in Pennsylvania. The inhabitants had assembled, as was their usual custom, to dedide what number, if any, of licences the town should petition from the County Court, from whence they wore issued. There was a full attendance. One of the most respectable magistrates of the borough presided, and upon the platform were seated, among others, the clergyman of the village, one of his deacons, and tho physician. After the meeting had been called to order, one of the most respectable citizens of the borough rose, and after a short speech moved that the meeting petition lor tne usual nunmer ot licenses. JLIiey had better license qood men and let them sell. The proposition seemed to meet with almost universal favor. It was an excellent way to get along quietly, and one and then another in their turn expressed their hope that such a course would be adopted. The President was about to put the question to the meeting, when an object rose in a distant part of the building, and all eyes were instantly turned in that direction. It was an old woman, poorly clad, and whose careworn countenance was the painful index of no light suiiering. And yet there was something m the flash of the bright eye that told she had once been what she was not. She addressed the President, and said, with his permission, she wished to say a few words to the meeting. She had come because she had heard that they were to decide the license question. "You," said she, "all know who I am. You once knew me the mistress of one of the best estates in t.h j borough. I once had a husband and five sons ; and woman never had a kinder husband mother never j had five better or more affectionate sons. But where are they now ? Doctor, I ask where are they now ? j In yonder burying ground there are six graves filled j by that husband and those five sons, and oh ! they ; are all dmnkands' graves. Doctor, how came they to j be drunkards ? You would come and drink with them, ! and you told them that temperate drinking would do I them good. And you too, Sir, addressing the clergyman, would come and drink with my husband ; and j my sons thought they might drink with safety, be- , cause they saw you drink. Deacon, you sold them j rum which made them drunkards. You have now got my farm and all my property, and you got it all by rum. And now," she said, "I have done my errand. I go back to the poor-house, for that is my home. You, reverened Sir, you, Doctor, and you, Deacon, I shall never meet again, until I meet you at the bar of God, where you too will meet my ruined and lost husband and those five sons, who, through your J

means and inlluence, fill the drunkard graves." The old woman sat down. Perfect silence prevailed, until broken by the President, who rose to put the question to the meeting shall we petition the court to issue licenses to this borough the ensuing year? and then one unbroken "No !" which made the very walls reecho with the sound, told the result of the old woman's appeal. ggf "Do you keep nails here?" asked a sleepy looking lad, walking into a hardware store, the other da'. . "Yes," replied the gentlemanly proprietor. "We keep all kinds of nails; what kind will you have, sir, and how many ?" "Well," said the boy, sliding toward the door, "I'll take a pound of finger nails and about a pound and a half of toe nails." Exit boy, with the toe of a well-nailed boot following close in his rear. . . Said old Mrs. Philanthropy, the other day, accosting a precocious urchin in the street, with a wardrobe remarkable for its ventilating advantages, "Bubby, why don't you go home and have your mother sow up that awfid hole in your trowsers ?" "Oh, you git eout, old 'oman," was the respectful reply, "our folks is economizing, and a hole will last longer than a patch, any day." The old lady's honest sympathy was wasted, while youngster beat a retreat round the corner, displaying a flag of truce in the rear. jLaiulrctli's Warden Seeds.
