A RETROSPECTIVE SONG. 
BY VI. E. C. KNOWLES. 
You remember the time when we strayed by the brook, 
With a smile in each eye, and a love in eacli look; 
When the rosuR were gathered, and placed on your brow, 
And you blushingly heard when was spoken love’s vow: 
You remember it, love, and the moss-covered seat, 
Where your heart beat afresh at the sound of my feet. 
You remember the time when we stood, side by side, 
At the altar, and pledged that our love should abide 
In each heart, as we journeyed through trial and strife, 
And as long as the term of each natural life: 
You remember it, love, and the joy- it conferred, 
While a sigh, as of pleasure, was all that was heard. 
You remember when trial and strife came at last, 
And the tear-drops of grief blurred the leaves of the past, 
How we strengthened the love in our natures enshrined, 
And smiled at the sorrow that lingered behind: 
You remember it, wife, and the happiness too, 
Though a feeling of pleasure was all that we knew ! 
And the shadows of age, and the footsteps of years, 
Now have furrowed our cheeks with a channel for tears, 
But the current that tilled it, and flows even yet, ■ 
Is the tear-drops of sadness, and not of regret: 
And the rain-bow of hope, like a ladder ot faith, 
Reaches down from on high o’er the valley of death.

MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND EMILY NEWSPAPER. 
[Written for the Rural New-Yorker.] 
A CELEBRATION IN 1779. 
Mr. Moore: —As everything relating to the 
times, places and scenes connected with the 
early history of our country is interesting to 
every American reader, I have sent you some 
extracts from a letter which I find in an old 
paper, bearing date March 29th, 1779. In a 
short preface it is stated that the letter was 
written by a “foreigner,” (a Frenchman no 
doubt,) to a gentlemen in this city, (Philadel¬ 
phia.) It will be seen that the “foreigner” was 
American in heart, if not by birth, as was the 
case with hundreds who were engaged in the 
war of the Revolution. I do not recollect to 
have seen the subject of this letter alluded to 
in any of the histories of those times which I 
have read. It brings up in lively colors the 
simplicity of manners that pervaded the highest 
circles, three-quarters of a century ago. It 
describes a celebration of “ the alliance with 
Prance, by gentlemen of the army;” likewise 
the impressions made on the writer’s mind by 
the females who participated in the festivities, 
and affords a lesson to our modern ladies. 1 
think that those more conversant with the pri¬ 
vations endured by the soldiers of that period 
than the writer seems to have been, would 
scarcely agree with him in his idea that “ the 
private soldier is happy.” It is evident that 
he only saw the army in its most favorable 
aspect, regarding it with an enthusiasm pecu¬ 
liar to his countrymen. m. w. h. 
Near Middlkbrook Camp, Feb. 22d, 1779. 
I have often thought, my dear sir, that there 
is in the most elevated mind, a tendency to re¬ 
turn to that condition of life from which human 
nature has been raised with so much art, 
and labor, and difficulty. Perhaps there is a 
certain point in our progress from barbarism, 
where men scarcely experience the anxieties 
arising from restless desire, perpetual pursuit, 
and disappointed expectation. In my excur¬ 
sions through the different cantonment of the 
army, this sentiment has derived the force of a 
maxim. Here I find a change of circum¬ 
stances, circumscribing the evijs of life, and 
giving a superior character to husbandmen, 
merchants, manufacturers, and mechanics .— 
Under a strict military discipline the private 
soldier is happy; his wants are supplied by the 
clothier and the commissary; his winter habit¬ 
ation near some clear brook, on the skirt of a 
wood, warm and commodious, the work of his 
own hand. The officers in general, lodge in 
huts of the same kind. 
But do not the principles of republicanism 
operate in bringing us back to nature, and that 
portion of happiness to which we were origin¬ 
ally appointed? It is these causes that have 
upheld what has been the constant effort of 
tyranny to abolish. I have nowhere seen the 
influence of these principles more emphatically 
marked, than among the gentlemen of the 
army. My old acquaintances are no longer 
the persons I have reveled with some years 
ago at Tunbridge, at Bath, and such places of 
gay resort. Their maimers are changed, but 
they are better men. Would you believe it?— 
the luxurious and voluptuary treated me in the 
simple style of a man who had retired from 
the forms of the world; and yet with more 
hospitality than is to be purchased at the table 
of a prince. I was received into a hut situated 
on the bend of a hill, by the once ceremonious 
B-, with the plain address of that primitive 
Quaker, the founder of your State. That 
genius of dress and gaiety, now Lieut.-, 
showed me his wardrobe; it consisted of three 
shirts, as many stocks, three pairs of stockings, 
two linen handkerchiefs, a summer pair of over¬ 
alls, a white waistcoat and breeches; and “this,” 
said he, “ with a few trifles, and the regimentals 
on my back, Ls sufficient for an American sol¬ 
dier;’ adding with some emphasis, as he closed 
the valise which contained them, “ I wish that 
my associates were as well provided.” 
****** * 
In such company do you think it possible 
not to have lengthened my tour much beyond 
the time I had limited? But I had other rea¬ 
sons; I wished to pay a compliment, as well as 
to be a witness, to the military celebration of 
an alliance dear to every lover of liberty. It 
was under the direction of Gen. Knox and the 
principal officers of the corps of artillery, from 
whom I received a polite note to dinner and 
an exhibition of fire-works in the evening. 
Thursday, the 18th, 1 rode from my lodging, 
near that celebrated spot where Gen. Dickin¬ 
son, in 1777, took from the enemy a large num¬ 
ber of wagons, horses, <fcc., with but a handful 
of raw militia, to a place about eight or nine 
miles distant, called Pluckemin, where the ar¬ 
tillery have their winter quarters. The huts of 
this corps are situated on a rising ground, at a 
small distance from the road, and unfold them¬ 
selves in a very pretty manner as you ap¬ 
proach. A range of field-pieces, mortars, 
howitzers and heavy cannon make the front 
line of a parallelogram; the other sides are 
composed of huts for the officers and privates; 
there is also, an academy, where lectures are 
read on tactics and gunnery, and work-huts for 
those employed in the laboratory, all very judi¬ 
ciously arranged. This military village is su¬ 
perior, in some respects, to most that I have 
seen. Its regularity, its appearance, and the 
ground on which it stands, throw over it a look 
of enchantment, although it is no more than 
the work of a few r weeks. 
I am told, the great philosopher and warrior 
of Prussia thinks it no dishonor to copy Gen. 
Washington in the mode of quartering his 
troops. 
******* 
His Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, ar¬ 
rived from his head-quarters about 3 o’clock 
in the afternoon. Mrs. Washington was in a 
carriage, accompanied by that steady friend to 
the rights of mankind, Mr. Laurens, the late 
President of Congress. I had also the pleas¬ 
ure of seeing Mr. Duer, late a member of that 
honorable body, from the State of New York. 
1 was introduced to Mrs. Washington, Mrs. 
Green, Mi’s. Knox, and a circle of brilliants, 
the least of which seemed more valuable than 
that stone of immense price which the King of 
Portugal received from his Brazilian possession. 
About 4 o’clock the occasion w’as announced 
by a discharge of thirteen rounds of cannon. 
We then repaired to the academy to dinner.— 
The company was composed of the most re¬ 
spectable gentlemen aud ladies for a consider¬ 
able circuit round the camp, and as many of 
the officers of the army as could possibly attend. 
The style of the dinner was of that happy kind, 
between the extremes of parade and unmean¬ 
ing profusion, and a too great sparingness and 
simplicity of dishes. Its luxury could not have 
displeased a republican. The toasts were de¬ 
scriptive of the day; while the joy and com¬ 
placency of the company could have given 
umbrage to none except our enemies, the 
British. 
Just as night came on, we were called upon 
to the exhibition of fire-works. These were 
under the direction of Col. Stevens. The eye 
was agreeably struck with the frontispiece of 
a temple, about one hundred feet in length.— 
It was divided into thirteen arches, each arch 
embellished with an illuminated painting, alle¬ 
gorical of the progress of your empire, or the 
wise policy of your alliance; the centre arch 
was ornamented with a pediment, and propor- 
tionably larger than the others, the whole sup¬ 
ported by a colonnade of the Corinthian order. 
In all public rejoicings, I make it a point to 
mix with the multitude; if they are not pleased, 
the demonstration may be considered as wrong. 
In the present instance, I was charmed to find 
that every man’s heart went along with the 
occasion. 
When the fire-works were finished, the com¬ 
pany returned to the academy; the same room 
that served to dine in, served to dance in: the 
tables were removed, and left a range for about 
thirty couples, to foot it to no indifferent meas¬ 
ure. 1 As it was a festival given by men who 
had not enriched themselves by the war, the 
lights were cheap and of their own manufac¬ 
ture; the seats were the work of their own ar¬ 
tisans; and for knights of different orders, 
there were hardy soldiers, happy in the thought 
of having some hand in bringing round what 
they were celebrating, 
The ball was opened by his Excellency, the 
General When this man unbends from his 
station, and its weighty functions, he is even 
then like a philosopher who mixes with the 
amusements of the world, that he may teach 
it what is right, or turn its trifles into instruc¬ 
tion. As it was too late in the day at sixty, 
for me to follow the windings of the fiddle, I 
contented myself with the conversation of some 
one or other of the ladies during the interval 
of dancing. I was particularly amused with 
the lively sallies of Miss *****. 
* * * * * * * 
I do not recollect that I have ever been 
more pleased on any occasion, or in so large 
a company. There could not have been less 
than sixty ladies. There were no eyes to en¬ 
counter, that shot forward in rays of studied 
superiority; nor any of those conscious inter¬ 
changes, too often the result of great experi¬ 
ence and knowledge. Through the whole, 
; there was a remarkable style of looks and be¬ 
havior, undebauched by British manners or 
British entertainments. Their charms were of 
that kind which gives a proper determination 
to the spirits, and permanency to the affections. 
More than once I fancied myself in a circle of 
Samnites, where beauty and fidelity were made 
subservient to the interest of the State, and 
reserved for such citizens as had distinguished 
1 themselves in battle. 
Is it that the xvomcn of Jersey, by holding 
the space between two large cities, have con¬ 
tinued exempt from the corruptions of either, 
and preserved a purity of maimers superior to 
both? Or, have I paid too great attention to 
their charms, and too little to those imperfec¬ 
tions, which observers tell us are the natural 
growth of every soil? 
You have obliged me so often during the 
course of my little tour through the Eastern 
States, with the histories of city feasts, city 
balls, and city exhibitions, that I could do no 
less than send* you a description of one at which 
1 I enjoyed so much. You will say I have di¬ 
vested myself of my national character to find 
■ amusements in huts and among woods. Be it 
so !
