PEG WESSON.
A I.KC.rCN'D OF C.I.orCESTRK.
T was in Mareh, j
. 1745 and the com
pany raised in '
Gloucester to join j
the e i p e d i t ion :
against Louisbur"
was to leive town '
with the rising of !
the morrow's sun. .
In the spring twi
light, three young men made their way,
with uoisy jest and song, towards a
wretched cr-tta-e that stooil in the out
skirts of the town, an3. rapped loudly
for admittance.
Th.e door was opened by a withered
old crone. A candle, burning on a small
table, revealed the blackened walls of
the interior, the bunches of herbs hang
ing from the ceiling, a scant supply of
battered pewter plates and coarse earth
enware on some shelves in the corner, a
few old chairs, and a pack of worn and
greasy cards apparently just flung down.
"What ye here for? Off with ye i"
cried the old woman, when she saw who
her visitors were.
"Oil, now, Peggy," said the lallest of
the three, iu a wheedfiug toue, "we're
off in the morning for Louisburg, you
know, and we thought we'd pay you a
farewell visit and get our fortune told."
"I'll Avarrant ye've no siller to pay me ;
; J . r i
ing a firm grip on the door . and pushing
it a little closer asshe spoke.
"Here's a bright new silver sixpence
for ye," displaying it as bespoke, "and
Tom and Job have more of the same j
sort. So now let us come in, and give
us a good send off."
Tiie money proved an argument not
to be gainsaid, and Peggy admitted .
them. When they were seated, she took
"up her cards, shuffled them, and pro
ceeded to tell the young men's fortunes. ,
Job Ayres came . first, then Tom ;
Goodwin. When Mattiu Sauders's turn ;
came, and Goody Wesson crossed his '
palm with the coin he handed her, his ;
imperturbable gravity, contrasted witn
the irrepressible snickering of his com
panions, made her suddenly su?uicious. i
She gave him a searching glance, theu ;
as she was about to place the coin on ',
the table with the others, she scrutinize i
it keenly and balanced it on her hand. 1
Ayrcs and Goodwin giggled and moved
toward the door. But not the ghost of
a smile passed over Martin Sanders's
lace. Peg struck the coiu smartly .
against the base of the iron can llestick
and listened to the sound, then pressed
it kgainst the edge of the table. It bnt
with the pressure.
"Curse ye. Mart Sanders," she cried
in a sudden fury; "it's lead!"
Then Martin Zanders laughed, and tn
three, rearing with laughter at the result ;
of their poor trick, opened the door of
Goody Wesson's cot, and rushed out
into the night.
She rar. alter them, brardishin-g her
staff, and raving like a :na i woman.

si
The great fleet of n .-ariv one ban ire 1
ve?.is, that made up the ex.itdition
ag&iuat Louisburg, saik-d from Boston o
the first of April. Favored by wind and j
weather, it soou rwMhul Cape Breton
I
and w?s coastiag along the saore of that
island towards its destined haven. In
j many of the vessels the soldiers were
watching the hi Us and woods on shore,
I but every indentation of the coast was
familiar to most of the Gloucester men,
for they had of a oeea there on their
1 fishing voyages. Their attention was" at-
tracted to the singular movements of a
solitary crow that hovered persistently
above them, now and then alighting on
the topmast.
As they were entering the harbor ot
Louisburg, Martin Sanders was sent for
ward to assist in furling the jib. A rope
parted suddenly under his feet and he
fell headlong into the sea.
The last sound that fell upon hi ears
oeiore tne rushing waters cio;e i over
mm was tne uoarse f-crearmnc; oi tne
crow. A powerful current wa running,
and it was only with great difficulty thai
Sanders was rescued.
When the excitement wa over, an I
the half drowned man was once more
safely on deck, the crew had disapieare J.
i ne ueei casi ancnor in the harbor and
countless boats took the .nen on shore.
Before the siege could . commence, ' the
cannon must be landed and placed in
favorable position. It was 'arduous toil
for the soil was boggy, and the men often
9anlc to tQeir knees, but all worked with
a will anJ tae guns; one after another,
were landed.
Good win and Ayers, with others, were
dragging a can no a on a sied :e through
half frozen mud, when suddenly with
whir of wiMgs a crow alighted on it.
j Job Ayers made a dash at it with his cap.
At the very instant that he did so, the
rear of the sledge sank in the treacher
ous soil; the cannon gave a sudden lurch,
and the arm he had flung out was caught
between the cannon and sledge and hope
lessly crushed. The unfortunate man
was carried into camp andihis arm ampu
tated.
The work of siege went on from day
to day. Foraging parties were sent out
sometimes, for the rations were some
what stale, and monotonous, and there
was game in abundance in the vicinity.
Sanders and Goodwin made twx of such
j a party one pleasant May afternoon. ()f
! ten during their hunting they noticed a
! crow circling near them. Thev were
, . . , .
about returning to camp wiien Goodwin
striding across some low shrubbery in
search of a fallen bird, thrust his foot
into an open fox-trap which closed
on his ankle the sharp points penetrating
deep into the flesh. His cry for, help
was echoed by the ":aw, caw," 'of the,
crow.
It was with infinite difficulty that hit
companions released him. Pale and
half fainting with pait and loss of blood
he looked up at the crow still near.
"I believe it's a witch," he' cried.
"Peg Wesson, by heavens!' exclaimed
Sanders, recalling the witrh's curse.
He lifted his loaded fowlingpiece, took
steady aim and fired. : "Caw! caw!
caw!" screamed the crow derisively,
winging its onward way unhurt. Mar
tin Sanders was renowned shot, and
never known to miss such a mark before.,
111: cuuinauiuus uuii uis isiiuii v. ilu
amazement, and though they thougjit it
a poor use for good powder and shoh,
another and another fired, but with tbt
ame result.
"It is surely a witch," trie 1 Goo hvin,
who, lying on the gra with hastily
bandaged ankle, was loo 'ting grimly on.
"It is surely a witch, and not .to be
brought down by a leaden ballet. Noth
ing but silver will bring down a wisch."
"That's true," cried Martin Saunkrs.
He hastily tore his silver sleeve-buttons
from .his wrist. He wrenched them
auutler. lt was the work of a minute
to load his gun wfttn one o: trie pieces.
The crow was still witnin gunsnnt. He
tr ok deliberate aimUnd fired. Wounded
in the leg, it fluttered down ward-in ies
ening rircit, and apparently fell ia. some
buh-s ciose by. But careful and pro
longe 1 search tailed to discover it.

Though loath to touch her, they j

and his descendants. Indeed they aro
kept to this day in the family for aught

. brought out and exhibited whenever this
remarkable story was told, and it was
very often told.
Peg Wesson never recovered from her
injury. She died soon after and re
ceived decent burial, but there is no
stone bearing her name in the old grave
yard. Pcor maligned, persecuted Peggy!
For thee and such as thou, there" should
indeed be, there must be, some happier
sphere .where the shadows ot eartn ma;,
be forgotten iu the glad sunshine o.
happiness unknown before.
Peggy's cot, untenanted after - her
death, long the sport of the elemeuts,
has fallen to decay. But if oue cares to
know where it stood, its site near th
"old garrison" can be pointed out by any
of the older inhabitants, for this is no
tale of the imagination, but one in
which our forefathers and forenutiivrs
implicitly believed. Sarah U. Daley, iu

Vines 6n Walls.
In a recent teport of the Secretary of
Agriculture it is asserted that the com
mon notion that vines ejverin walls
tend to produce or promote dampness is
so far from being true that the contrary
is the case, such covered walls being
drier thau tho-e exposed. A moment's
reflection would sjggeat that a thicket
of leavos acts like a thatch, turo vuig off
rain and keeping walls dry. They
also have the further effect of prevent
ing walls from being heated by tae sua,
so that in case of dwellings where the
walls are covered during the summer the
rooms are perceptibly cooler in conve
quenc. The ivy in climates suited to
it, i9 probably the finest evergreen for
clinging to and covering the wall", but
the persistency of its foliage ha been
objected to, inasmuch as it prevents the
sun from warming the walls during
clear days in winter. A vin which
possesses an abundance of foliage "in
