"Gussie" writes her name " fatherless," since that was penned ; but " Oar Father" has taught her to look to Him, as one who loveth, even though He ohasteneth. If I could only picture her to you, it would be a dancing Hebe, with golden ringlets, and rosebud mouth, and a polite figure, that flitted about in a loving winning way, that would more than meet your heart in'all its love.

D. 1800, that a rather large group of idlers gathered in front of the Etheridge Aams, a quaint old tavern, in the ancient little town of Swinburne, in ' the west of England. By their looks and converaation, it was evident that some event of unusual impor* tance was expected to come off. They were, in fact, awaiting the arrival of the mail coach, which was to bring down Colonel Hastings, and his son Albert, who waa the bridegroom elect of Lady "Etheridge, Baroness of Swinburne, the last of her race, and sole heiress of the immense wealth and vast estates of her lordly anceaters.ARB SUUI IH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC LIQUORS, •©* It is not over the great things of this lifo over which mortals stumble.

About ton or twelve years ago, con tinned Judge Cowell, I visited tho battle field. It was the farm of Seth Anthony, and belonged to his father at the time of the battle. Mr. Ahthony informed me he was about twelve years of age when the battle occurred. He had a distinct reccollection of every movement on the farm. General Greene quartered at his father's house.— The firing commenced pretty early in tho morning, and while General Greene was eating his breakfast, the house maid said to him the enemy were coming and would take him. He replied, " he would eat his breakfast first." This characteristic coolness he exhibited throughout the day. It was not long after breakfast before a column of Hessions surrounded the house, entered and plundered it of everything valuable, and informed them that the house would be burned nekt day. A Jlession officer searched his mother's pocket, but did not find any money. His father had taken the precaution to bury all the money they had under a stone wall, but they took his silver knee buckles, and threatened his life if he did not give up his money.

JOHH RICHARDS, But you are gazing at the next one I hold in my hand, and think, perhaps, it is a school-girl style complete. And so it is, with lines crossed and recrossed, if it were not for the ideas of a woman penned therein. You have soon persons, May, who have grown weary of the world at sixteen. Who sigh for deeper draughts of that pleasure which satisfies not, but makes more miserable its followers. You have known then: that have tsado this world cold and uncherishable, by their own cold hearts ; and, with deep pain, I say it, sho, the writer of that letter, was such a one. Proud, selfish, and oold hearted, she found the world a bitterness, and its pleasures even, ashes in her grasp. Life was all one dream. And shall I tell this unrest, this sickly view of the world. She lost her fath in God and man, and the young heart was as a scared leaf—for how oould mortal say to Him " why was I made ?"— Hers could not, with all its talent and pride, and I left her fanning the flame of rebellion against the Divine maker, and ready any moment to be lost forever. The nuptials were to be celebrated on the following day; and the retainers and neighbors of the noble bride, who almost worshisped her for her .goodness of heart, were anxious to see the man who was to be their beloved "lady's" husband. They had not long to wait. The coaoh soon came thundering up to the door; and as soon as the steps were let down by the obsequious land, Colonel Hastings issued forth. He was an old elderly gentleman, tall, apt re, and stooping ; was clothed in a suit of clerical black ; and his pale, thin, long face was surrounded by hair and whiskers pcrmaturely gray. He was closely attended by his secretary—Ferdinand Casinove —an Italian of such graceful mien and dignified bearing, that he might have been taken for a prince of the blood attended by an old gentleman In waiting. Attorney at Law and Conveyancer. The battlo of Rhode-island was a conflict of no ordinary character. It took place August 29,1778, and is to be classed among the bloody struggles that terminated in the separation of the oolonies from the mother country, and the establishment of an independent nation. The American troops, as is known, were under the command of Geaeral Sulivan, supported by Generals Groene and Lafayette. The army consisted of ten thousand men, supported by powerful French fleets under Vice Admiral Count D'Estaing. With this combined furce success appeared certain, and in anticipation of a fatal result to the British arms, Gen. Pigot ordered several of his ships then in the harbor of Newport to be destroyed, lest they should fall into the hands of the French. But the high expectation of th4 American Army were doomed to a sad disappointment.— Lord Ilowe commander of a large British fleet, followed Count D'Estaing, and when off the harbor of Newport, offered him a challenge and a chance to fight. The fleets were about equal.—Count D'Estaing had twelve ships,of the lina and four frigate—one ship of the line mounting 110 guns. The British had twenty-two sail, but their ships were not so large. Situated as the American Army wns, strenuous efforts were made by General Sulivan and the other American officers, and also by the Marquis Lafayette to induce Count D'Estaign not to acoept Lord Howe's challenge, but to remain in the harbor and assist in the seige. But the Count was determined to fight. Ho had been seeking an opportunity ever since his arrival, and tho time had arrived. The prosecution of the siege was of small movement in comparison with beating Lord Howe in an open sea fight; and notwithstanding all the urgent solicitations and remonstranocs, he hove out of th« harbor of Newport for that Collections promptly attended to.

August 24th, 1859. Next came forth a young gentleman, whose handsome person and haughty manner at once attracted general attention.— His form was tall, and finely proportioned, crowned by a hanghty head and faee, with high aquiline features, fair and fresh complexion, light blue eyes, and very light, flaxen bair. His expressions of countenance, in keeping with his whole manner, was stern almost to repellant severity.— Great beauty of person, with great dignity of manner, forms a combination very at tractive to most young women, and perhaps it was this that fascinated the young heiress of Swinburne Castle, for this was Albert Hastings, the bridegroom elect.—■ He was followed into the house by Bis valet, bearing his dressing case. After a slight repast, Colonel Hastings, attended by Cassinove, drove off to'the castle to have a preliminary interview with Lady Etheridge, (trho' at his ward,)'and1 arrange the marriage'settlements. On arriving at the lordly castle, Cassivov* was shown into a sitting-room,whiIe the colonel proceeded to the library, either bis ward was requested to meet him. As the young Italian paced up and down the room, occasionally pausing before :a full length mirror, which reflected the the spacious window (reaching frotft ceiling to floor) and the picturesque landscape beyond, suddenly, among the roses outside, glided a purple-draped female figure, that immediately rivetted his attention. It was a woman in the earliest bloom of youth.— As young CasaiwrW gazed upon her reflected image, as he never gazed upon her, he felt as though a goddess had suddenly descended among the flowers. Her form was above the medium hight, and well rounded. Her head was finely formed, and covered witb a profhsion of jet blaek, glittering hair, that was plainly parted over her broad expansive fore-head, and swept around the temples, and wound into « rich and massive knot at the baok of the head. B©u flowers fling their wealth upon the vacant air, and rich men often fling theire upon the vacant heir. After the Hessions had plundered all they could, they left the house, and it was but a short time before they heard firing on the farm, and it continued all day.— Mr. Anthony told me his father and mother were " Friends," and kept silence in politioal matters. He also said that Gen. Greene told them that his mother was also a Friend, and was opposed to his going into the army; but if he would go be faithful.

She left us, dear May, when wo could least spare the gentle counsel and sweet guidance of her love ; and the little curl that was shorn from the golden head, and these letters, arc all that I have to remind me of the loved and lost. I prise them beyond gold, dear May, for they have cheered me when I had well nigh fainted, and have brightened man-y a gloomy day, with their presence and hopeful tune. I often think that there was dim foreboding of early dissolution ; and in one of her heart fetters, she quotes a passage prophetic of her doom. You've seen it often, May, but perhaps it will not be inappropriate to copy it again, that you may know a little of the earnest spirit of her who " though dead yet speaketh." For the PitUton Gazette.

You have often wished me, dear May, to tell your of my school friends and the days of my childhood, which have long sincb past and gone.—To gratify you there must be unfolded the contents of a certain little trunk, that, to you, has been a sealed mystery, with its hoarded treasures of brown envelopes, of white ones, of rose colored paper and blue—letters brown with age— some in delicate pennmanship, others uuformed, but full of love without; and you have wondered why it was that they always brought a gush of tears, when their contents have been scanned "with loving eye and heart—not always tears of sorrow, but some of joy and hope, and an earnest prayer and wish that it may be well with the dear scattered ones. Gen. Sullivan also complimented Gen. Greene in his dispatch. He said; "Major General Greene, who commandod in the attack on the right, did himself the highest honor by the judgment and bravery exhibited in the aotion."

To speak harshly to a person of sensibility, is like striking a harpischord with Geo. Sullivan's retreat from the island, after so brilliant a viotory, was in consequence of a letter received from General Washington, which together with other information obtained, and especially Lafayette's visit to Boston to induce the return ofCoant D'Estaing, rendered such a step expedient. The British kept possession of Newport until, 1779, when they evaouated it leaving that beautiful city but a shadow of whatit had been. To erown the infamies they practiced, they carried off the records of both Newport and Middletown. This was done to aid the tories, of whom there were upwards of forty who went off with them It was though the abduotion of the reorde might prevent the confiscation of their estates; but the theft did not have the desired effect, as the General Assembly passed an act confiscating the whole 01 them.

Practical Watchmakers and Jewelers, it is many years, May, since I have trod the halls of oar cherished "Alma Mater." There has been changes of all kinds since then—some I dare not solvo, and some, with their timid fingers, have pointed solemnly to the mournful truth that purpose. This was on the 11th of August. His fleet had scarcely left the harbor before a violent storm took place, known (long afterwards as the French storm,) and bo furiously did it rage as to scatter both fleets. Several frigates tried hard to fight, but it was of no use. The Languedoc, a French ship of the line was so disabled she came very near being taken. What the result of the battle would have been it is impossible to say. No doubt it would have been a most terrific and bloody one. the chivalry of both nations would struggle to desperation for victory. It was the first time the hostile fleets had met after the alliance of France with tho United States. But both fleets, by the overruling haud of Providence, were separated and scattered. Both were conquered by Him who rules the " raging of the m*." But notwithstanding this disheartening ocourrenee, the expedition was by no means abandoned. The siege was prosecuted under great difficulties, General Sullivan pushing his troops forward until within two miles of Newport, where he made a stand ; but after ascertaining that Count D'Kstaing had sailed for Boston, with no prospect of return, ho fell back, by advice of his council, to his former position at the north end of the island. Gen. Pigot once more breathing freely, began to extend his lines uortb, and proceeded as far as Quaker hilL . The Americans were posted on Butt's Hill. Colonels Livingston and Jackson's regiments were stationed on the east road, while alight corps under Col. Laurens, Col. Floury and Major Tulbot, were stationed on the west road. Here the battle commenced, and after u short conflict the enemy (supported as they had been by sew®*l of their ships) wero routed and fled in great confusion to the hill where they first formed, leaving their dead and wounded in considerable numbers behind them. •♦Death has aet his mark and seal On all we are and all we fool; First our pleasures die, and then Our bopu, and then onr fears, and when These are dead, the debt is due, bust claims dust, ajtd wi d« too."

Her eyes wero largo, luminous, dark gray orbs, that seemed, whenever the loar veil of lashes was lifted, to throw a light wherever the glanced. Her nose was straight and well formed, her lips rounded, and, like all the rest, full of character. In the carriage of lier head and neck, and in her stately footsteps, there waa a certain natural majesty that, even in her peasant's dress, would have proved her one of Nature's queens. The impression made upon the enthusiastic heart of Ferdinand Cassinove was at once vivid, deep and stronng—quick as sun-painting, permanent as sculpture. He saw this goddess of the inttelloctual brow and stately step opon the window and advanoe into the room, and as she approached him he felt his whole frame thrill with a strange emotion of blended pain and delight. He dreaded to move, yet, as the needle turns to the magnet, he felt himself turning from the refleoted image to face the original. He stood before the queenly form, and met those large, luminous, dark eyes fixed upon him in royal graciousness, as she said— V. PETERSEN, Pittston, Pa. H. Ck A. PETERSEN, Scranton, Pa. C.
