SPRING TOKENS. 
BY S. II. CHARLES. 
Warm southern gales have fanned the glade, 
The sunlight glances on the lea, 
And once again I’ve musing strayed, 
To where the blackbird whistles free. 
Keen cutting blasts from northern climes 
Erewhile shrill howled along the plains, 
While e’en the streams forgot their chimes 
And hoarsely told their winter pai .s. 
Again the dreary winter’s past, 
And spring’s warm breath steals o’er the earth, 
The trusting crocus blooms at last, 
Bright token of the season’s birth. 
’Twas yester-week, I strolled the hill, 
And still the snow to earth did cling. 
Save in one spot, where gushed a rill— 
Where rose first bare earth of spring. 
How like an old familiar face, 
When seen amidst a stranger band, 
Seems that small spot, that little place, 
Amidst the snow—the sight of land. 
The smiling May hath meads of green, 
The verdant groves with music ring. 
But May has no such pleasing scene 
As ,s the first green spot of spring.

AN OLD CORPORAL’S STORY. 
A REVOLUTIONARY SKETCH. 
“I shan’t forget it,” said the old man 
with a slow shake of the head; “I shan 
forget that night the longest day that I live 
You have heard, my boy, how Gen. Wash 
ington—peace to his memory!—was oblige 
to quit York by a council vote, and go 
up to Harlem Heights, when the British 
Genera], liowe, who commanded the red 
coats, was just about moving in. I only 
wish we’d a stayed there—but no matter. 
Washington, with the main body of his ar¬ 
my, went up to the heights, and General 
Putnam, with our brigade, was ordered to 
camp just outside the city—’twasn’t half 
as big then as ’tis now, though 
This was along about the middle of Sep 
tember in 1776, just after the Declaration 
of Independence was signed. There we 
stayed about half a day and one night, and 
that was long enough too. What could we 
> do there, a little han’ful agin Howe’s army. 
; Old Put was desp’ret proud at being left 
there. He was no coward, my boy, I tell 
you; and we all used to think he’d a little 
rather fight titan eat, any day. But when 
the red coats came on us on three sides, 
and two of ’em was betwixt us and the 
Heights, I tell you it looked squally. There 
was only one way left, however, an'd that 
was to fight our way through. Our Gene¬ 
ral wasn’t afraid of Satan himself, but he 
knew then that we were in a bad condition, 
and that we looked to him to get us out of 
it. First of all, there was a full brigade of 
red coats, with cavalry coming towards us 
from the city, and there was another com 
ing down from Kipp’s Bay; and another 
from the North River, where they’d landed, 
and our division was fritted away to almost 
nothing. They numbered three times as 
many as we did, but we must- go at some 
rate or ’nother. So the drums beat to mus 
ter, and in less than five minutes our tents 
were struck and in the wagons, our line was 
formed, and our general, Old Put, rode, 
down before us, as grand as a king. 
‘Now, my boys,’ says he, ‘there is no 
time for talk. We must fight our way 
through these red coats, and join General 
Washington. Forward!’ 
We gave the old fellow three cheers, my 
boy, formed our columns, and started off 
with flags flying and drums beating. Well 
it was no more than five minutes before we 
met the rascals coming from Kipp’s Bay 
and we whipped their coats oft’ of ’em in 
short metre, but the other brigade came on 
to us, and we ivere obliged to look out for 
safety, instead of conquest. So we made 
a strong push, and fought our way through 
i but, after all, a good many were left behind 
) prisoners, and some poor fellows that never 
j lived to fight for liberty again. And there 
’ were many wounded, too, that escaped 
\ death and capture; some had to lose their 
!> arms, and some their hands, or a leg, 
; and their sufferings were dreadful. But 
there was one mortally wounded in that 
; skirmish that we all wept over—one that 
; the whole regiment loved, and not a man 
; of us that wouldn’t have laid down his life 
for her any day—poor Annie. She was so 
sweet, and so pretty, and so obliging, and 
never did she pass one without a kind word 
and a gentle smile. You wonder who she 
was, my boy; well, I’ll tell you. 
It was about two months before we left 
York, and whilo we were at Brooklyn 
Heights, as I heard our captain tell, that 
one evening there came to his quarters, 
hand in hand, a little boy, and a girl larger, 
but not much older than the boy. He was 
about fourteen years old, and she was not 
yet sixteen, and both looked sad and almost 
broken-hei rted. It appeared that they had 
known or heard of the captain before, and 
so in the’r distress they made bold to in¬ 
quire for him. The brave little fellow had 
come to get permission to ’list in our com¬ 
pany, but that could not be, and so the cap¬ 
tain told him. But he was curious to know 
the reason of the application, and being a 
little kind-hearted, too, and seeing that they 
were in great distress, he thought he might 
do something for their good. So he told 
them to sit down and tell why they came to 
him for such a purpose. 
The little boy began his story, and his 
sister began weeping; but when the young¬ 
ster mentioned his father’s name, the cap¬ 
tain remembered him, and interrupting the 
hoy, inquired after him. ‘He is dead, sir,’ 
answered the boy as the tears flowed from 
his eyes. ‘ He was killed, sir, at Sullivan’s 
Island.’ Our captain confessed that he felt 
like crying, too, when he heard this,-for he 
knew that except their mother, they had no 
oilier relative and must be helpless. So he 
inquired why they had left their mother.— 
‘At this,’ said he, ‘they seemed to choke with 
emotion—they could not answer.’ So he 
asked again, ‘is your mother dead too?’’— 
t hey bowed their heads in reply, but could 
not utter a word. ‘Poor orphans,’ said the 
captain, ‘I will see what can be done for you.' 
The little fellow told him that his father had 
been persuaded to join the army, under 
promise that his family should be taken 
care of; but tliejr had received nothing but 
what came from his pay and their own la¬ 
bor with which they managed to live pret¬ 
ty comfortably till they heard of their 
father’s death. Then their mother grew 
sick and died — broken-hearted, I suppose. 
To make my story short, our good cap¬ 
tain spoke to the Colonel, and it was agreed 
to make a drummer of the lad, for he was 
too small to carry a gun, and then it puz 
zled them to know what to do with his sis¬ 
ter. But she soon settled that question by 
telling them that she would go with him 
and never part from him. She was not 
afraid, she said, and she knew she would 
be useful in the camp, or any where her 
brother went. So, at last, they quartered 
her with the butler’s wife, and in less than 
a week we all loved poor Annie as though 
she’d been our own child; for, except a tear 
now and then, which would steal from her 
eyes in memory of her father and mother, 
she was the happiest little angel alive. 1 
know she put on, sometimes, though, to 
please us because she knew we did not like 
to see her look sad; and yet there was al¬ 
ways a kind of sweet melancholy in her 
manner. Besides, wasn’t she an orphan? 
Wasn’t she the child of one who had laid 
down his life in our cause, and was not it 
our duty to love her? 
Her brother learned fast at his drum,— 
In a month he eould handle the sticks with 
the best drummer in the regiment, and by 
the time Howe came with his Hessians to 
attack us, he was ready and fit for duty, 
and as clever a lad as ever beat a reveille 
or roll in the armies of Washington. Be 
fore that battle, little Annie was sent over 
to York with the women, for Old Put said he 
wouldn’t have any women around when fight- 
ng was to be done; and when we went over 
mts? i)Timor. 
WORTH THE TICKET. 
after the battle, she joined us again, and con¬ 
tinued with us till the night after we fought 
our way to the Heights. At that time we 
were surprised so suddenly as to have no 
time for preparation. Annie had been put 
in the sutler’s wagon with some others, and 
placed under an escort close in the rear 
of the column, and soon after the skirmish 
began they were thrown into the midst of it. 
The brave girl, forgetting all fear in the 
excitement, rose from her seat like a hero, 
to cheer her fighting comrades, when a 
British bullet struck her in the side, and 
she fell in the arms of a companion.— 
It may have been a chance shot—I hope it 
was, for I know the wretch who could cru¬ 
elly murder such an innocent girl as that 
could not sleep in his bed after it. We all 
thought she was dead, and for an instant 
our attention was more on her than on the 
enemy. Many a brave heart fell when she j 
fell, and I do not believe that if the Gene¬ 
ral himself had been shot down instead of 
her it would have caused a greater pan¬ 
ic. Poor Henry, her brother, being on. 
the right of the column, knew nothing of 
the inj ury till we reached the Heights, and 
every tap of his drum, as we moved for¬ 
ward, went to our hearts like a death shot. 
We soon learned however that the sweet 
'flower was yet alive, and you may believe 
that if the watering of tears shed by brave 
men could have preserved her life, she 
would have lived long years after. But, al¬ 
though yet alive, the surgeon told us that 
her wound was dangerous, and, he feared, 
fatal. So, indeed, it* proved. Breath by 
breath, she. lingered, and suffered agony 
hour after hour, till near midnight, when 
her pure soul was lifted from earth, and 
flew to mingle in a happy reunion with the 
spirits of her loved and lost parents. Yes, 
on that sad night she died, and there, on 
the rough Heights of Harlem, we buried 
her. She wasn’t entitled to an escort by 
the rules of war, my boy, but we gave her 
one, we did; and under a volley from a ser¬ 
geant’s guard we. placed in the earth the 
remains of our poor little Annie.” 
The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian now 
and then has a good hit at the follies or 
humors of humanity, sketching them off 
with much felicity. The following will be 
appreciated. A Mr. Samuel Peabody was 
arrested by the watchmen on suspicion of 
being intoxicated. The Mayor desired to 
know Samuel’s opinion of the matter. He 
narrated his experience thus wise: 
Well, sir, I mout have been drunk, and 
I mout not—I can’t pretend to say for 
certain. The fact is, I’ve done so little that 
way that I’ll be blamed if I know when I 
am drunk. I dare say some of these police 
gentlemen are better judges than I am, when 
it comes to that. But I’ll tell you exactly 
what I did and how I felt, and if you honor 
concludes 1 was drunk, why I’ll pay the 
fine and say no more about it. You sec 
I was troubled with the wind, and took 
four glasses of lavender brandy to start it. 
Soon after I felt a buzzing in my ears, and 
then the he cups was awful troublesome, 
but that I thought was the wind coming 
off. Then it seemed to me, as I walked 
along the street, that an awning post or 
water plug every now and then would jump 
right before me, as if they meant to head 
me off. I was a lit.le mad at this, and 
struck one or two of them with my knuck¬ 
les, hut I found that it was no use, for my 
fists got the worst of it. 
It seemed like al! the gas lights had 
faces some winked and some grinned at 
me, and one that stood before a hotel, nod¬ 
ded as if it was acquainted with me, and 
made a sort of a sign towards the door, as 
much as to say, “ Go in, Sam, and get 
something to drink.” Which I did. When 
I came out there was the greatest to do 
that I ever saw; I was sure there -was *an 
earthquake, for the houses and steeples 
were all staggering about, and the street 
was rocking just like a cradle. It was a 
most sublime spectacle; so I fetched up 
against a pump, and held on while I took a 
good look at the magnificent scene. No 
panorama could come up to it; houses, trees, 
fences, all rearing and plunging like wild 
horses. The sight was worth a dollar and 
a half, any how. If I have to pay a fine, I 
don’t care, for I got the full value of the 
money. 
An Auctioneer’s Joke. —The Courier 
and Enquirer boasts of the feat of an auc¬ 
tioneer in New York, who stood at his post 
fourteen hours every day for two weeks, at 
the recent book sale in that city. This man 
of the hammer is represented to be extreme¬ 
ly ready and felicitous in repartee, and 
the Courier relates the following instance: 
“A gentleman who had been the Co., the 
tail,” as it is called, of a well-known book¬ 
selling-house, had become a partner in the 
house of Morall & Smith. Some one look¬ 
ing for him in the place where the members 
of the former house were expected to be, 
said, “ Where is-? I don’t see him, 
“ Oh, yonder he is,” replied John Keese, 
pointing out his books, “ He now points a 
Morall where he formerly adorned a tail.’

rpHE proprietors of this establishment wish to call the

winch superior animals could be safely drawn, for im¬ 
provement and crosses upon other herds. His importations 
have been derived from that eminent breeder, the late Tiios 
Lsq., of Kirklevington, Yorkshire, England^ 
«Inch herd, it is well known, has recently been disposed 
of at public sale by his administrators, and dispersed in 
many.hands, and can no longer be resorted to as a who’" 
for improvement. The announcement of that sale, created 
great interest, and all short-horn breeders in Emdai d seem¬ 
ed emulous to secure one or more of these animals to n 
glc with the blood of their own herds; and at the^r.v of 
sale, there was found assembled the largest audience ever 
before witnessed upon a similar occasion, mini! erinc 
was said, from 4 to 5,000 persons, and amongthe n tl eLst 
breeders in England, and several from otberTou itri™

Hi the herd now offered for sale, will beincluded the im- 
1 u , 1 , 1 ‘‘J )uk e of Wellington” and the premium Bull 
Meteor. 1 hese are Bates’ bulls, and their reputation as 
stock getters is too well known to need any comment 1 
am, however, authorized by Lewis F. Allen, Esq , of 
Black Rock, one of the most prominent breeders in ibis 
country, and who has had ample means oftormiiwa irnb'- 
ment, to say—“ 1 hat in no instance to his knowledge, had 
these two bulls been bred to short-nom cows of offer lien's 
previously imported into the United States, but what the 
produce was superior in general qualities to such herds.” 
I he most of the stock which is now offered for sale, has 
been bred from these two bulls, and the proprietor havirw a 
young bull more remotely connected with that portioifof 
the herd he retains, (being about 14 in number) can spare 
these two valuable bulls. There will be in the slock offer¬ 
ed for sale 6 young bulls from 8 months to about 2 veers 
tW ° na, , ned above > an(1 the remainder 
of the stock xx ill becomposed of cows, (most of them pos¬

heifer calves. It is believed that no herd of short-horns lias 
ever beeno ffered for sale in this country, exhibiting more of 
the valuable combinations of qualities which contribute to 
makeup perfect animals. uu 
A catalogue containing the pedigrees of these animals 
will be ready for delivery at an early period, in which the 
terms of the sale will be particularly stated. A credit will
