Another.—­The subject of this anecdote was a sister of General Isaac Worrell.  She died two or three years since in Philadelphia.  The following tribute to her patriotism and humanity, was paid by a New Jersey newspaper, in July, 1849.—­“The deceased was one of those devoted women who aided to relieve the horrible sufferings of Washington’s army at Valley Forge—­cooking and carrying provisions to them alone, through the depth of winter, even passing through the outposts of the British army in the disguise of a market woman.  And when Washington was compelled to retreat before a superior force, she concealed her brother, General Worrell—­when the British set a price on his head—­in a cider hogshead in the cellar for three days, and fed him through the bung-hole; the house being ransacked four different times by the troops in search of him, without success.  She was above ninety years of age at the time of her death.”

Tyrolese peasant.—­During a conflict at the farm of Rainerhof, in the Tyrolese war, in 1809, a young woman, who resided at the house, brought out a small cask of wine, with which to encourage and refresh the peasants:  she had advanced to the scene of action, regardless of the tremendous fire of the Bavarians, carrying the wine upon her head, when a bullet struck the cask, and compelled her to let it go.  Undaunted by this accident, she endeavoured to repair the mischief, by placing her thumb upon the orifice caused by the ball; and then encouraged those nearest her to refresh themselves quickly, that she might not remain in her dangerous situation, and suffer for her humane generosity to them.

THE END.
