O homefelt joys—so clear and sweet, My clear, wood fire beside,— My baby creeping at my feet, Who oft with glance of pride, Looks buck, elate, and pleas’d to show How last his tiny limbs can go. And closely seated by my’ side, My little daughter fair, — Whose doll upon her knee doth ride, Essays a matron’s care, — While many a lesson, half severe, With kisses mix’d, must dolly hear. There lie my volumes, clos’d and still,— Those chosen friends of old,— My pen, regardless of my will, Lurks in its bronzed hold,— High joys they gave,—but not so dear, As those that gild my fireside here. Where harp and viol carol sweet, ’Mid youth’s unfolding hours, And gladness wings the dancer's feet That seem to tread on flowers, I’ve share’d the cup,—it sparkled clear, — ’Twasfoam, —the precious draught is here. I’ve trod the lofty halls, —where dwell The noblest of our land, — And met, —tho’ humble was my eel!, — Warm smile, and greetirtg hand,— Yet she doth feel a thrill more blest, * Who lulls her infant on her breast. Strong words of praise,—such words as gird To high ambition’s deed, The impulse of my mind have stirr’d, — Though still unearn’d, their meed, — But what of these 7—they fleet away’, Like mist, before affection’s ray. Tho’ many a princeless gem of bliss, Hath made my pathway fair,-* Yet have l known no joy like this, A mother’s nursing care, To mark, when stars of midnight shine, My infant’s bright eye fixed on mine. .Wight woman win earth’s richest roie,- Yet miss that wild-flower zest, Which by the lowliest cradle grows, ’Twer© but a loss at best; — Puss on, O world, in oil tliy pride, I’ve made my choice, —and here abide. Even she, who shines with beauty’s ray,— By fashion’s throng carcst, — If from that pomp she turn away, And build her shelter’d nest, — And hoard the jewels ofthaJpcart, Like Mary finds the “better part.” Hurt ford, March , 1839. y p>.

UY THE AUTHOR OF “THE RANUUET OF NORWICH,” Ac., Ac., CHAPTER I. 11 A breath of submission we kroathefiol ; The sword that we’ve drown we will sheath not! Its scabbard is left where Our mnrtyt* are laid, And the vengeance of ages has whetted its blade.” Campbell. Among the numerous Indian tribes, with ■ tvhich tliu settlements of Providonde and (lon-1 neclicut were infested, tie most formidable I were theTSarrttgansetts and Pequods. Fore seeing that their extermination was accelerated j solely by the increasing influx of Europeans, I the Pequods applied to the Narragatlsetts, their j ancient foe, and urged upon them the neces. sity of uniting for the expulsion of their com mon enemy, lint the latter, perceiving in this a favorable opportunity of weakening if not of totally destroying a jroworful rival, instead of accepting ibis apparently favorable propo sition, immediately informed the Coventor of the hostile intentions of the Peqnods, and en tered at once into an alliance against them. More exasperated by the treachery thus evinced, the Pequods brought a thousand war riors into the fields, and immediately commen ced hostilities, by attacking Fort Saybrook, the strong-bold of the English, in litis, how ever they were defeated, and compelled to re tire into a swamp at some distance, where alone they might feel secure from their many foes. The Connecticut troop* with the Narragan setts, soon advanced against the Pequods, who had by this time fortified their position with palisades. More prudence was displayed ill selecting their situation, lhat vigilaucein guar ding it from surprise. ’Twas the hour of mid-night. AH were hushed in sleep among the Pequids; all excep ting a chief of determined courage, named Pc ; quello. He, by his well-known bravery, was j as much feared by the Europeans as respected ; by the Narraganselts. Os a stature rehmrka- J bly tall and muscular, with defiance depleted j on ltis countenance —he appeared to be the j more expressly formed by nature for the rank he hold. Oil his ba/k swung the deadly tonia- j hawk, and a bow and quiver lay by his side. With the watchful dogs, he was the only sen tinel over this fierce band of warriors. Po quello silently carressed a mastiff of unusual size that lay at his feet. This animal, more sagacious than the others, having been trained ; ■w ith the greatest care bv his master, was about ‘ to show an instance of his faithful attachment. I It was evident to the chief, from the impatient bearing of the dog, that danger was to be ac-! prehended ; and, in order to discover whether j ids suspicions Were well-founded, fie stooped, j and placing his ear to the ground, listened with j the greatest anxiety, l’equello hastily arising, motioned the dog to remain on the upot, and j ran himself towards the camp of his people.. He speedily returned, accompanied by.anoth-1 er ehief, -whose lofty titrate denoted ills rank : to be little inferior to lhat of his companion. Both looped fora moment to tbalgroitnX and 1 listened, then suddenly springing tip, they si lently looked towards each other. The dis tant howl of a dog was heard. “ ‘Tis the growl of the watch dog,” said Pe qnello, ’’and the Nunagunselts are approach ing.” “So is it, I'eqncllo,” returned the other, “mid onr warriors mast he awakened.” Pequello now returned towards his mastiff, and gently patting hint, pointed in the direc tum ol'thccnmp. The animal instantly caught his muster’s meaning, and bounded oil. In a few moments, a number of warrioisnpprouch eil in haste towards the chiefs, to inquire into the cause of alarm. Pequello silently pointed towards a deep morass before them, and at the same time placed Iris finger upon Iris lips in token of silence. Hut ere this had passed, the dogs began to hark furiously, and gradu ally to approach tho encampment. Danger was now apparently near, and anxiety was depicted on every face. The warriors hasten ed towards the camp, and gave the general a larm ; all was now bustle and confusion among the tribe. In an instant a thousand fearless warriors were in arms, prepared to rep I the attack ; while the fierce xvarwhoop from as many throats, shouted defiance to the foe. Like the defenders of the Roman capital, they had been summoned by an instinctive guardian to defend themselves, blit they w ere not equal ly successful in vanquishing th s invaders. A dreadful carnage ensued. Entering by two passages, which had been left unguarded, the Europeans directed their destructive fire a gainst lids undaunted band. If they came forth they rushed against naked bayonets, and if they attempted to leap the palisades, they were driven back by a continual volley of bullets. Their tents were soon in flames, and many unable to escape, perished therein, whilst others recoiling from the deadly wea pons. rushed amidst the blaze, and thus shared the fate of their comrades. The Massachusetts troops also joined the in vaders, and In a short time after, the Peqttods ceased to he u nation. The prisoners were sold as slaves. . Though compelled to undergo the daily toil, their proud spirits still remained unsubdued—still did they remember that they were descended from the first nation of Amer ica. 8 The Narraaanscttp now victorious in the.ij threachery, slill were uneasy as long as a Pe quotl remained ; and it was not until they had persuaded themselves that tho entire tribe were either destroyed or subdued, that they enjoyed any tiring like a feeling of security. Little did they imagine, however, that ine one they most dreaded, yet lived—yet breathed the same air with them ; lit: w hom they still ►feared, though imagined dead —the eagle of his tribe—the vanquisher of tho great w arriors of the Narragangctts, CUAI 1 . It. {tow low on earth the lofty chief is laid.” Oryilc.it's Virgil — JE-ncis, U. xii. The w'.uy leading to the niahsiou of the Gov ernor of (’ohmciieut was tluiught a Jong and labyrinthine avenue, oversharied with trees ; its paihtf'lurning to the right and left, over which the clustering foliage had never permit ted the sun to play its genial light, nor tho mellow moon-beam to bend one flickering ray. A gloomy silence seemed to pervade every thing, not even interrupted by tho cheering chirp of the feathered tribe. Situated towards the extremity of this avinue was the residence of the Governor, w hich, like thoscof* our fore i fathers, who were continually exposed to dan -1 ger from the numerous tribes around, was so constructed as to he suitable not only fora hab itation in time of peace, but a protection in time of war. Il w as possibly l wo years, or more, since the extermination ol ilie Fcquods. It was tale in the night, and the inmates of the mansion had long since closed their eyes in sleep. The av enue which we had just described, was still as death— not a sound was heard save that occa sioned hy tlic rustling of the branches of ihc trees as they were tossed to and fro hy the breeze. From this thicket now emerged a figure, but the darkness prevented its being seen by any adventurer whose way might have been through the avenue. The night was ex ceedingly dark and cloudy, save w hen the vi vid lightning, shed at intervals a dazzling light th rough the depths of the forest, IJy one of these sudden flashes was seen the form of an Indian of very tall stature walking vvilh Iris face towards the ground, as one absorbed in profound and melancholy reverie. Reaching I iho gate of the garden, bo reclined on it for i some time, and then retracted his way towards the spot whence he had emerged. The ap proaching steps of a man were now heard— j they were irregular and heavy, and the song, | which was sung by the intruder, denoted him | a votary of Bacchus. 1 1 was iij the Indian ; tongue; and as it reached the quick ear of the first personage, he recueded into an obscure j part of the avenue. “’Tis one of tin; Narragansells,” muttered he. “thehated of the Ureal Spirit; I must ar rest.fiis steps before he reaches the house.” With these: words, he stepped into the middle of the avenue, and placed his hand on the Nar i ragmjseit. j “Pale-face,” said the Narragansett, who was j not in the least manner pleased at this sudden j interruption. “lain your red brother, let me i pass.” “You Jie, cursed fool,” exclaimed the one ! thus addressed ; “you lie, you are of.the hated, cursed race of tho Great Spirit,” and these words were rtccoriipaniod by a hoarse and sup pressed laugh. “And who art thou, who would stop a chief of the Narragansett*—who art thou who heap curses on the Groat Spirit Os our tribe V’ inqui red the Narragansett, who had by this time become quite sober. But tlie other slowly and distinctly replied, in a tone wherein was exhibited hate and de testation:— “lam Pequello, (he last of the beloved of bis tribe—the last of the betrayed warriors—the last of the Pequods.” The Narragansett shuddered as he heard this anilnsjation, but remained silent, and the Pequod continued : “Chief of the Narragansells, why do you tremble and act as a child ; already hast thou been converted into a beast, by the Mront r water of the pale-faces? Why do you not reply to Pequello. who asks you for ins wife, his fattier, his tribe 7” “Warrior of the broken tribe.” replied the dismayed chief, “ask me not for them—ask the pale-faces; the red-men would have been your friends. But the pale-faces destroyed your nation—their fire made desolate your race, not our tomahaxvks.” “And you laughed at our misery V* “No, Peque'.'o, tvs did net laugh, v/t shed tears, like children, when wo heard of the mis fortunes of our brothers —we prayed to our Great Spirit for them.” “Enough, Narragansett—enough! When wo applied to you, to aid us against tlie pale faces, tlis people who hud taken away our lands;and who would have driven us out of our country —what was your reply 1 Yes ! When we called our great council —what did your warriors reply ? Yes! When we agreed to drive the palc-litees from the land—what did you say? Yes! When wo appointed a time to attuck them —did you not promise to meet us I” “We did.” “Ami how did you act I Did you join us as agreed upon? No ! Did you send your war riors to our aid ? No! Did you not betiay us to the pale-fuccs? Did you not scalp our war riors ?” •“No,” replied the Narragansett, “we struck none of your warriors—not one of the broken tribe fell by our hands.” “You speak well and truly,”interrupted the Pequod, “you struck none of our w arriors— and why? Through fear you avoided our tomahawks. You struck but our w ives uud children—those were your victims, you did not hearken to their cries.” The Narragansett essayed to speak, but was ‘ again interrupted by tlie Pequod, who contin- ‘ ued:— “You struck them because ihey were weak and feeble—you shunned the w arriors of the Pequods, who would have avenged them. Now, Narragansett, hated by the tribes, where are my brothers and friends?” “Gone to the Great Spirit.” “Yes, they have gone to his country—they have gone to the Great Spirit, where they live free from the power of the pale-faces, and have plenty of hunting ground ; lor they were faith-1 ful to their word. Hut you, Narragansett, who j betrayed us—where do you expect to go? Not to the Great Spirit, he hates yob and will drive you away!” “The Great Spirit is good,” said the Narra gan sett. “But not to the murderers of women and children. Now listen to Pequello, who bids you prepare for death.” “Pequello, you would certainly not strike an unarmed chief.” “Did you strike our women ? Come, Nar ragansett, sing your death-song.” “Pequello, if you let me live, I will give you of the strong-water ol'the pale-faces.” The PequoeP* only reply was a smile. The Narragansett seeing trim tints determined, turned from the warrior and sung his death song, and ns he finished, the tomahawk of the, Pequod was raised; one moment more, and the Narragansett was launched into eternity. The instrument of death bud done its office. Tile Pequod returned into tile thicket. * * * * * The following (Jay the body was found, and brought before the Narragansells. On tlie i breast of the corpse was cut a cross. The chiefs looked fearfully at one another, and all shuddered as they murmured:— “’Tis the mark ofthe Peqttpd.” chap. in. “And I the eagle of my tribe.” 0 a Campbell. A bout n mile distant from the mansion of the Governor, there was a large rock, which rose to a tremendous height, forming, in its almost perpendicular ascent, a fearful preci pice ; its irregular sides jutting out over a dark, streum which meandered at hast:, hall hiddeji by projecting rocks and overhanging banks. Far us tin: rugged steep, whore the eagle build his eyrie, and whore till Jhen no human Toot had tread, a cave was hidden among tltecrags. At early dawn, on the morning following the murder of the Narragansett, tut Indian might have been seen cautiously Issuing forth from this wild and perilous retreat. With a firm, undaunted step,he ascuided/o the very pinnacle of the awful precipice. Then casting abroad an inquiring look, as if go be assured that on otic was in sight, he again descended; leaping from cliff to cliff as J unconscious of the danger to which he was exposed. Arrived at the mouth of the cave, lie stooped and utter ed a shrill whistle. The next moment a dog of huge size came rumtijtg tow ards the savage, and crouched himself pear his master’s feet. Pequello, for il was fie returned the caresses of his faithful dog, mid descending, (hey disap peared in the deep forest. Two hours had elapsed, when the chief returned, but lie came not back as lie w ent. On his shoulder swung the body of a deer, and in his amis Jie held a young Indian child. Ascending the rock to sonic distance, until lie reached a point which overlooked l)te chasm below, lie halted, then suddenly extending iris artn, held for ft moment, the child over the yawning gulf; but the latter only smiled nt the warrior, and stretched towards him his little arms, as in play. The Pequod could not re sist the child’s caresses, and drawing it towards his manly breast, proceeded in the direction cl the cave, which lie soon reached. On his arrival, he kindled a flrgj and in a short lime a bright bUze illumined the dark recesses ofthe rock. ’1 hcchiefihencouimenc ed the preparation of his meal At one side lay the dog, devouring a piece of tlie animal s flesh. Mere and there were strewed broken arrows, a tomahawk, and a how, with other armsof the chief. A stone, which answered for a seal, together with a box. constituted the remaining furniture oi this gloomy abode. The Pequod upprochcd the box, and raising I the cover, drew forth a scalp, this he placed ; before the child, who was amusing himself by j playing with the broken arrows. The chief j took another scalp, and placed it as before, and j continued to do the same until he had drawn i eleven scalps. Shilling the box, he placed I them upon it. Then turning to the infant ; near him, the chief exclaimed “Infant ruler of the NurragansctU, where are my people ?” The child looked up, smiled, and strcldird out ils little hands towards the warrior, but the latter tuning nway, a tear flowed down his cheek, whilst he resumed : “Sort ofthe great Narragansett you must die. The Pequod must destroy thee, for the Great Spirit so ordains it—my annihilated tribe calls for revenge. Eleven of thy tribe have been destroyed, and the twelfth must beau infant.” He turned towards tiie fire, and took *wav the pot. On the dying embers was rckindl 3 a blaze, and selecting the scalps, one by one they were thrown atnids the dairies. Sometime passed before they were consumed, and whilst burning tlie chief remained gazing at life blackened scalps with anguish. 1 “Thus has the Pequod revenged the blood of bis tribe, and the Great Spirt: v/tll soon receive him into his arms.

IV. “My boy I —my boy ! —O thou art gone I Bource of my hope and pleasure here!” Augusta Mirror, Vol. I,No. XX Near the residence Os tlie Govonor stood the village of the Nurragmtsetts, comprising several u tgwums ; but one of which was lar ger and more elevated tlmn the others. This was occupied by “the greater warrior” or his tribe, who had culled together ull the chiefs of the Nurragansetts on the morning that tlie ; corpse had been found in the avenue. | The seats of the council-room were, one af ter another filled, in uninterrupted silence. The members all awaited die command of “the great warrior,” who, when tlie places were oc cupied. addressed t..e council ill a clear und firm tone : • “ Children of my tribe, and warriors of the Narrugnnsetts, you all know why you have been called in council ? Last night anotherof ! our people was taken from us, which makes ! eleven within a few days past that have been found murdered ; ull marked with the cross of i the Pequods. There is still anotherof the bro ken tribe alive, and lie must be sent to his fa thers. \V hile he lives we are in danger ; lie fears us not. One hy one our brave warriors have disappeared—and their death remains unrevenged. ‘J herefore, brave warriors, call ! your tribe together; search every part ofthe mountain, every swamp, ami drive the Pequod away like u dog.” And as tho aged man con cluded, he reseated himself amidst the appro [ bulion of the council. A loud knock at tlie door now interrupted tlie council, and tlie next moment a Narra i;ansett rushed towards the old ohiof caciciui • Il *£ : “Great warrior, thy son is lost 1” “My hoy !—my boy !” exclaimed the old man. “Speak quick—you said my son, my infant son ; for, alas! ull the rest tire dead ” “Aye, great chief, your son has been stolen; a chief bus been seen flying with the child to wards the rock.” At this information, a burst of indignation broke forth. No one doubted but that it was tho Pequod who had stolen the chi.ld ; and in a moment a numerous train awaited the signal for persnii. Headed by the old warrior, they started for tlie rock, were they soon arrived. Hut what a scene presented itself to the ter rified father. On tlie roekey precipice stood tHu tall form of the Pequod. There he was, in his war dress ; his countenance firm and determined. In ins left hand he lickl the child, whilst his right clutched the fatal tome hawk. It w'tis a sublime und awful sight to see tlie savage in ihis elevated and fearful po sition The infant seemed unconscious of its danger us it looked up with a smile on the swarthy features of the, warrior. “Child,” said the Pequod, “your hour has arrived ; und tile vultures of the air will eat thee, whilst my spirit gazes'upon thee from above.” 4 It wgs at Ihis period that the Nurragansetts reached the base of the precipice, and prepay* cd to ascend. “Stop, hated of the Great Spirit,” cried the Pequod, who perceived their movements, “or tin Itild shall be destroyed.” Hie old wa.rior motioned to the other chiefs to remain, und advanced towards the Pequod. The latter bade him stop. “Pequello,” said the old man, “I am to thee as a lamb; return me the boy, and the Great Spirit will bless thee.” The Pequod smiled at this address. The muscles of his face for a moment quivered, and then liis countenance turned almost black in hue. Suddenly lie turned to tlie Narragansett alul exclaimed “Old warrior, where are my people, whom you butcher and 7” The Narragansett would have replied, but the Pequod, pointing to heaven, continued : “They are calling for vengeance !” “Pequod,” said the old ilia.., “will you de stroy u child—one who never injured thee 7 Shall tho child atone for the aetof tlie fatltet ? No, Pequello. though you are a cruel man, you will not destroy a child.” “I will.” “Then, thou urt not the warrior of the Pc. quods; thou art not the protector of the inno ( cent;” seeing tlint the one thus addressed I heeded him not, he continued : —“lf thou wilt i exchange our lives, take mine, and let my son I live,” The proposal seemed to strike the Pequod 1 with a sudden determination ; and as he med itated upon a double reVcugc, he inquired of the did mart : “Will you redeem his life with you own ? “Willingly,” replied the Narragansett. “Then lake the child.” The farther approached (bf the purpose of insuring its safety, but was in a moment grasp ed within the firm hold of the Pequod. “What would you do ?” cried the old man, seeing- tin: stratagem of his dreaded foe. “Kill the destroyer of my people,” was the stern reply, “Poqticllo, will you break your plighted word ?” “Where are the proofs of your treachery but in tile destruction cf my people. Look to wards yonder warriors, who are regarding the danger that surrounds their ‘great warrior” i Why do they not send their arrow s at the Pc ! quod 7” Tlie warrriors below fearfully viewed the Petptod and his victims, without the power of rendering any possible assistance. A piercing shriek now rent the air. The Pequod stood with the old warrior .; the child ! whs seen descending the abyss below. The war-whoop of the NaragunsGts broke tlie awful silence, and they prepared to as cend. but the Pequod, pointing to tlie old man, said : “Narragrutsells, hated of tlie Great .Spirit, prepare your death-song, for your chief dies,” and w ith these words he. precipitated the w ar rior over the precipice. The-arrows of theNart-agaosattSnow struck in every direction over the Pequod. The lat ter lilfed up hisarms, and cried - “Great Spirit of our tribe, I come to thee.” and leaped into the abyss beneath. Thus perished the last ofthe Pequods. Vi A. C, Charleston. S.
