BURS UNDER THE SADDLE.

A. SKETCH OF THE REVOLUTION. , During the month of March, 1778, the British array in Philadelphia, and the American commander-in-chief was desirous of having some information concerning ' the state of affairs in the city, and desired Captain Allen McLane to pick him out a few trusty men for the purpose. McMean selected five of his own men, with Surgeant John Marks for leader, and sent the latter to head quarters to receive instructions. Marks was a very young man to be iutrusted with important services, being only twenty-one years of age; but Mc1 Lane had frequently marked his conduct in camp and field, and made himself well acquainted with his character, and knew that he could be thoroughly relied on. Marks was a lank, bony fellow, with high cheek bones, square jaw, and rather large mouth; but he had a fine expressive eye, and his countenance entirely under his control. With this he possessed great power of mimicry, which he used to show off frequently for the amusement of his comrades, and had a reputation for shrewdness. His muscular system had not yet received its full development; but his habits had made him almost as active as a panther. He was fully instructed by Gen. Washington as to the information desired, and left at dark, arriving in a short time at Port Kennedy on the Schuylkill. At that point he struck across the country, and by the means of by-ways with which he was well acquainted, having been raised in the neighborhood, evaded the scounting parties of the enemy, and arrived at Mantau before dark. Here he posted his little troop in a cedar hollow, overlooking the river, while he, in the disguise of a countryman, with a sack of vegetables which he had stolen from a garden in the neighborhood, rode into the city. He not only escaped detection, but sold his vegetables to a number of Howe's staf, was taken to the General's presence, and in return for false information in regard to Washington, managed to learn some facts of importance. Promising to return in a few days with more vegetables, he was enabled to leave the town leisurely, with a passport in his pocket, and some sugar, ' coffee and other articles of like nature in his sack. He joined his men without suspicion, about nightfall, and after the little party set out on its return. Now, had Marks kept in the course by which he came, it is possible he could have reached the American line in good timej and safely. But it happened that about a mile from the river, at a point nearly opposite Spring Mill, lived a farmer by the name of MoIlvane, who although a Quaker and a non-combattant, was well disposed to the American cause. Mcllvane had a daughter named Priscilla, a young and handsome girl, to whom Marks was strongly attached, but , who had never betrayed any symptoms of affection in return. The house was a half mile or more out of the former route, but lover like, the trooper took his men in that directiou. It was late in the night when he neared the place the moon was down yet it was probably some satisfaction for the young man to look upon the building where he supposed his lady-love to lie buried in sleep. As they silently and swiftly passed along, the watchdog of the farm began to bark, the inmates of the house were alarmed, arid a light at one of the windows showed them to be stirring. At the same moment a horseman rode unexpectedly from the shadow of a small patch of woods on the left, and challenged the new commers. The answer was a pistol shot from Marks which tumbled the challenger from his horse. A general alarm at the house succeeded, and was answered by a bugle call not far ahead. Marks found that he had come upon a post of the enemy, and dashed on witb his force. At a turn of the road a hundred yards further, they found a small detachment formed across the path. As the Americans knew that the road forked on the other side of this force, and their chances of escape were good, if they could reach the left hand road, which was a mere bypath, to be ridden by only one horseman at a time, they charged sword in hand. Three of the troops managed to break through and escape, but Marks and a stout trooper by the name of Gahl, from Bucks county, were intercepted and obliged to cross swords with the enemy. It proved useless to contend with superior numbers, by this time rein1 forced by others from the farm house; and after a short and severe contest, resulting in the death of one of the British troops, the two Americans were taken prisoners, and carried back to the house of Mcllvane. Marks was filled with chagrin, partly at his folly in taking the most dangerous path, and partly at his inability to convey to the commander-in-chief, the valuable information he had picked up in the city. He veiled his mortification, however, in a cool and careless demeanor, and in reply to the lieutenant commanding the British detachment, said that he had been out on a foraging party, and had lost his way, and managed to get almost within site of the city before he discovered his blunder. Priscilla, who, with the rest of the family, was now awake and dressed, saw, but apparently did not recognize Marks. After some more questions which were answered in what seemed to be an open manner, the lieutenant directed the Americans to be placed, securely bound and guarded, in an upper room of the house, there to remain until morning. By the way of comfort, he gave them the assurance that they would both be hanged as spies. ' - Marks passed a sleepless night; it was not alone the prospect of an ignominous death which troubled him; but he had learned enough in the city to know that a surprise movement similar to that attempted on the previous 4th of December, against the American forces, was set down for the following day, and was aware that it was an entirely unexpected circumstance. As for Ghal, he took matters like a philosopher, and snored away all night in happy unconsciousness of his situation. At daylight the prisoners were brought down and placed upon the porch, while Diaper and the men under his command took breakfast in the house. The horses of the troopers, with those of Marks and Ghal also, were all saddled and hitched to the fences, under the charge of a little Scotchman named McPherson. Priscilla, accompanied by lieutenant Draper, came out, the former bearing some food. After it was partaken of, Priscella laid the dishes, knives and forks upon the bench in the porch, and listened with apparent interest to the questions put by the lieutenant. The latter, by way of encouragement, assured the Americans that if they gave true statements their lives should be spared otherwise, they would certainly be hanged. lie then left them for a short time, to digest the information, Priscilla remaining behind. ' The Quaker girl still appearing not to recognize Marks, said to him, loud enough to be heard by the, soldiers passing to and fro : "I would advise thee friend, to tell all thee knows. Friend Draper will keep his word with thee, I am sure." She then added in a low voice: "Keep still, John,' and I will save thee. Answer what I say, but pay no heed to what I do." ' , ' ' Marks caught her intent in a moment, and cried aloud! - ; : ' - .' ' "I won't turn scoundrel, Miss, for fear of death, even if I had any surety the Captain there would keep his word." . ' , Other conversation followed, and Priscilla who had concealed a sharp case-knife in her sleeves managed to cut loose the prisoners hands without observation; cautioning them at the same time not to move too soon. She told them that the Lieutenant's horses, one of which was ridden by his servant, and both standing nearest the gate were the swiftest of all, and then went out and exchanged some light observations with McPherson, patting and admiring the various horses, one by one. Marks kept a close watch upon her, and noticed that she passed something under the saddlecloth of each horse; but she did not lay her hands on the two horses of the Lieutenant. Priscilla returned presently, and with a significant glance at the captives entered the house, and engaged Lieutenant Draper in conversation. McPherson in the meanwhile, had noticed that some manocuvering was being mailc, and came on the jorch to inspect the fastenings of the prisoners. As he did so, Gahl, who was a very powerful man, struck him between the two eyes with his Full force, and the Scotchman fell backward from the raised floor to the ground, striking his head against the stone so severely as to take away his senses for a time. Before the alarm could be given, Marks and Gahl were mounted on the officer's hors, and galloping furious up the road. Draj-er rushed out, and hurried pistol shots being ineffectual, ordered a pursuit. But the party had not

proceeded a dozen yards before every horse grew restive, and at length utterly unmanageable. All attempts to control them were in vain, and the horses growing more furious, unseated trooper after trooper. The single exception was in Mark' own horse which Draper had mounted. He was quiet 'enough; but Draper happening to dismount in order to examine into the cause ot the trouble, the steed galloped of after the master, whom he ultimately overtook. After considerable time was lost, it occurred tojthe lieutenant that there was some trick in the matter. The horses were stripped, and it was found that the sharp burs of the burdock had been placed under every saddle, and had fretted and galled the animals almost to madness. By this time the fugitives had too much start, and pursuit was abandoned. About four miles further on Marks and Gahl fell in with three troopers of the enemy. The Americans were without sabres; but there was pistols in the holsters, and with these they settled two of their opponents. The third put spurs to his horse, and turned down the cross road, escaped. Marks and his fnend were in too much of a hurry to pursue him, and rode on towards to camp, where they arrived that afternoon. The information that Marks brought was of essential service. The British arrived during the night, but found such formidable preparations made to receive the attacking columns, that they quickly retreated by the road they came. Lieutenant Draper mistrusted Priscilla who denied having a hand in the matter, and wondered very much where the burs had been obtained at that season of the year. The truth is, the girl had got them from some uncombed wool which lay in an upper chamber, the sheep of the farm having gathered them in their rambles. The two kinds of non-combattants had played important parts in the matter but the lieutenant never found that out. He never ceased to lament the loss of his pistols, which were a handsome silver mounted pair, nor his showy cloak, which had been strapped behind his saddle, both proving of great service to Marks.

It isn't enough to be pretty and modest to be a belleGood manners are not the secret, neither is great beauty alone, though that comes nearer than anything else. But don't you know what people call lone in pictures ? It isn't the color nor the drawing, only, it is a sort of something not to be described ; at least I have asked a great many of the long-haired, bad-hatted gentry who paint pictures, and they never agreed what it was. It is a sort of mellow complexion over the whole thing, and is as different from mere color as the bloom upon a ripe grape or plum is from the crude positive hue ot the unripe Iruio or cnan i you ever notice the difference '( No ? Well then, come to Nahant. and vou can studv everv variety of blush and bloom upon ripening fruit in Mr. Tudor's gardens, behind those thick-paled fences, that strain these rough sea winds into soft zephyrs before they touch his trees, very much as a fine-tooth comb would transform the rummy breath of any old sailor on the coast into a kind of music before it polluted the baby's lungs. All this means tact. To be a belle it is necessary to be handsome, well-made, of great good manners, and of consummate tact. Now, every girl can have almost anything but the chief thing. If you are not positively squint-eyed or delormea, resolution ana Madame well, the freshest French woman will make you handsome and of good figure. Manners you must manage for yourself. I have found the best rule perfect kindness I mean, of course, kindness of manner. Most men are a little bashful with women. Young men get over it by bravado older men with a kind of silent, superior, condescending air. Now if you study never to take advantage of tliis shyness, which makes men doubly sensitive so that many a clever man is conscious of being a perfect fool with women if you never wound them by look, or word, or insinuation, or implication, and never seem in league with any one man against any other why, a little judicious flattery of manner only, not of words, does the whole business the man is yours. Have vou never noticed that very " smartr women are never belles ? There are, of course, what may be called " loud" young ladies from some Western cities, and from New York, sometimes, who smoke and drink 6herry cobblers at night, and call the gentlemen by their Christian names, and who are always very conspicious; but there is the same difference between such people and belles that there is between notoriety and fame. The difficulty is that tact is not to be taught. It is the sublimest sympathy constantly on the alert. Its aim is to please positively, by saying and doing what is agreeable ; and negatively, by omitting all allusions that are not so. " Never speak of hemp to a man whose lather was hanged," is the negative way of stating tact. " All things to all men," is the positive way. There is no need of asking me about the morality of this. I am treating on belles and manners, not of saints and moral philosophers. One thing, however, I am free to say to you, in strict confidence : and that is, that eood manners are not always indicative of good morals. I mean, of course, using the word manners in the usual sense. If you see a man or woman every day, you would naturally presently "discover their sympathies and tastes. They would betray them involuntarily. For instance, if a man cared nothing for children if he were impatient or ill-tempered he could conceal it for some time, unless he had some very desirable end to serve by playing a huge and difficult game. But for all that, if the great D should ever come to Nahant, or Newport, or Saratoga, which of course he never does for where could he stay, what could he do? and, entering his name upon the book as the Reverend Mr. Lamb, should mingle in the charming groups that swarm along the piazza or sit so amiably in the parlor, I think the .manners of the reverend gentleman would be so winning and entertaining that the young men would view him without jealousy and the old without cynicism. The young woman would consider disparity of years nothing, where hearts were truly united ; and the old ladies would seriously ponder how much they might reduce the necessary figures for their daughters, in consideration of certain advantages in the husband. Old and young would go to bed charmed with the manners of their new acquaintance ) nor, among the other dreams of the night would the fancy obtrude itself that, when the Rev. Mr. Lamb went off, he disappeared in smoke, and that the gentlemanly companion of the evening could such an awful tale unfold.' .'" 1 On the other hand, I suppose Dr. Johnson's morals were good, but his manners were certainly offensive. You are surprised that I speak of Dr. Johnson ? You have seeu me whirling in the polka with Tom Dyce at the Hotel, or racing over the beach with him in" his wagon ? Very well, it is true, I am that young lady. I wear two bracelets and ear-rings, and these very hoopy skirts. I bowl, bathe, dance, dine, flirt, drive, sigh, smile, pick up mosses, and wander over the rocks in a broad-brimmed hat and a very becoming morning dress, which the girls here will call peignor, apparently not knowing that peignor is the dressing gown mine is a short gown in which we sit when the hair is being brushed. I am that same young lady aged somewhere between seventeen and twenty-three. I have spoken of Dr. Johnson, I know about him and about a good many others, and you are surprised. That is always the way with men. You profess to honor us your mouths froth with compliments. Suddenly we show that we are not fools, and you never forgive us. You say you want something " feminine." Especially men who drink brandy and water soon after breakfast, smoke all morning, talk horses, and drive horses all afternoon, and gamble all night especially these men who want the " feminine element" in women. TVnt tVlPir wlirJp lil'PQ flYinW thpV Al V ' 7l-nV o-wra-rrr act of their lives proclaim upon t he house tops-their sympathy with what is womanly ?
