The subject of the foilowi ig lines is not the mere‘coinage of the brain.’ Tile‘Stranger’s Grave,’is a beautiful grove about, a mile from Poughkeepsie. Sleep, stranger, sleep! the deep low wind is singing Its dirge-like song above thy lonely bed; Sleep, stranger, sleep! pale forest flowers are springing, To droop like mourners o’er thy clay-cold head. Rest, stranger, rest! perchance thy friends are keeping Long vigils in a distant land for thee; Cheeks have waxed pale, and eyes been dim with weeping For the lone wanderer o’er the distant sea. Where was thy home? was it amid the blushing Low rose-clad cottages, to England dear? Was it where Spain’s dark mountain streams are gushing? Where was it stranger? now we know’t is here. Perchance whilst thou unwept, unknown, wert dying, Love’s eyes were strained thy wished-for j form to see; And whilst thou, stranger, calmly here art lying, I There rises wiki, heart-broken prayer for i thee. They may not know (those friends) how thou art sleeping, Thy sleep no waking knoweth, lonely here— They might net know how stranger’s hands were heaping The clods upon the form they held so dear. And was it meet no requiem o’er the saying. No friend to weep, no mother Io deplore; Strange hands thy limbs in their last garb ar raying, Thou shouldst be hurried on a siranger shore? ’ Ah! who may tell how thy young heart was , swelling With lofty hopes of wealth and high command? ] W as’t this that lured t’.iee from some peaceful , dwelling, To die a stranger in our forest land? W hat is thy wealth? the ground on which thou ’rt lying, And what thy fame! alas! a nameless tomb; Lone one, methinks there’s kindness in denying, To thy far friends a knowledge of thy doom, m one ot ■ss well know, l " is low - vave ’ as slu,u •ch Georgia was greauv <** , . , ~. . . _ ” / nument-paved aisle; left ins room of affliction, havi»- 0 , ;nsword cu:n . i of a child, and went to the Se- : speech, vindicated the rights of •tojle. favorable issue of the question. -jv® Admires the deadt, A,little «iduud wiyAe grass aiiu flowers are playing, * | Is all that marks the lowly bed.

There is something hallowed in the associations which gather around us. while reflecting on those instances of devotedness and chi valrous patriotism which distinguished their acts—a feeling almost of devotion. Too many of those deeds have gone down ito oblivion ‘ unhonored and unsung;’ and ; if perchance a fragment of the past is I snatched front the grasp of Time, it excites in us sentiments the more sacred from the lapse of years. But there was a period in our country’s I story, beyond that in which our forefathers struggled to make us a free and happy j people—a time whose history is but faintly chronicled—-when the sufferings of our pioneer ancestors were unwept and unre quited. That epoch would seem to have been swallowed up in the interest of the events which followed; yet those earlier periods afford us examples ot unparalleled sufferance and unmatched heroism. It wal a gloomy era, when the fair face of our country was every where a dark wilderness—whenour pilgrim fathers were at all times surrounded by the beasts and the savages of the forest—and when all was rude and cheerless. In the progress . of scenes, from that time forward, many and dangerous were the vicissitudes by which they were marked.

As he gathered around his council-lire, and reflected on the stram r cr’s encroachments, or listened to the coinplaints ofhisbre ' thren, and the exciting eloquence of his I chiefs, his soul began to kindle within him “WHERE POWERS ARE ASSUMED WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN DELEGATED, A NULLIFICATION OF THE AST IS THE RIGHTFUL REMEDY.” JejferSOH. and his bosom to swell with rage. Alrea dy had the numbers of the pale faces be come alarming, and their bold hardihood inspired a spirit of dread. The fearful missiles which the stranger so dexterously | used, above all, excited his fears, and de- ( terred him from manifesting his resent ment. Continued irritation, however, .over comes apparent impossibilities, and gradu ally wears away the most obstinate objec tions. The canning of the savage was deemed a match for his enemy; his fleet ness, his distant retreats, and his poisoned arrows, were presented by the orators to force up his courage to the determined point. Nor was it long before the Indi an’s festering hate broke forth. The war song now resounded along the mountain side. The fearful yell is heard in the dis tance, and each settler prepares himself for the worst. And now it was, that the direful note of death rang along the Con necticut valley, and deeds of blood began to desolate the land. For many years was this pleasant val ley the scene of heroic struggles—of suf fering, and of death. Long did the hardy white man sustain himself against the su perior numbers and the wily arts of the savage; but sadly did he pay the cost of his attachment to the land of his choice, and the endearing associations of home. Frequent and deadly were the conflicts in which he engaged with his implacable enemy. Deep and lasting was the mutual hate of the combatants, and as deep and as artful were their schemes of destruc tion. Victory ofte n crowned the untiring efforts of the foe, when painful captivity or indiscriminate slaughter ensued. To’tell ofthe many murderous deeds and the deep agonies which marked the triumphs of the embittered savage, would long employ the pen. and harrow up the feelings of the soul. To the cruel perseverance of the Indian, in this war of extermination, were added the secret promptings of base cupidity. The Canadian Frenchmen now urged on the brutal force of the not less barbarous foe, by their liberal rewards and legalized bounties for captives and for scalps. Still more powerful motives actuated the red men. while large numbers of the reckless whites joined them in the execution of their most desperate deeds; and it was said that the cruelty and brutality of the Frenchman far exceeded those of the savage wild man. It was thus with our forefathers, when an attack was anticipated from combined forces of the Indians on the little nucleus of farm-houses at the present beautiful vil lage of Deerfield, in Massachusetts. A little army 7 had collected at Hadley, com posed ofthe hardy peasantry’ of the val ley’, determined on decisive and desperate efforts against the common enemy. The produce which had been gathered and housed at Deerfield, was necessary for the support of this band of determined yeo manry, and for the affrighted families who had there congregated; nor was it desira ble that so much valuable substance should fall into the hands of the’indians, the more effectually to enable them to continue their bloody warfare. It was therefore resolv ed, that one hundred choice young men, ’justly denominated ‘the flower ofthe coun- P cnr ,’ should be selected to go with teams, tof (.the face of danger, and transport the ofthe soil from field to ether lie w-ould veto a law freeing Columbia, he disdains to give an answer, the it only that he will not, but that he conceives the ect him, have no right to question him.

Here their eloquent chiefs encouraged them, by every effort of language ami of gesture, to deeds of bravery and despera tion. Their plans were matured, and eve ry means devised, which power and strate gy could suggest, to destroy the devoted j band, and to capture the treasures in their / charge. And now their royal leader, with | all the force and enthusiasm which had I characterized the most potent warrior and ! consummate general that the history of . savage life had ever revealed, broke forth, j and thus revealed his great and impas- i sioned mind:* ‘Warriors! see you tlie treasures of the pale faces—-the richest j stores ofthe longknives ! See you the young men, few and feeble, that yonder carelessly stroll in the valley I See you our numbers, and the brave warriors that stand around you, and feel not your hearts strong? Is not your arm powerful, and your soul valiant? And whois hethat goes before you ? Who will direct you in the ambush and the fight ? Is it not he who never knew fear ?—whose heart is like the mountain, and his arm like the for est oak? —the great chief ofthe Naragan setts, whose people are like the leaves, and whose warriors are the terror ofthe pale ! faces I Follow him, and all is yours!— j Each hatchet give a fatal aim—sink deep these knives?—these arrows drink their homes!’ •' l ‘ ,e proud and lofiy ■ ‘g-.L ' y‘*S^‘l < - > ctr!ci(y through the sav .

[ been thus fur, by the chosen corps, and . i descended the small hill which conducted ! ; them into the green vale traversed by the I road, and near which lay concealed the • foe, ready to dart on their prey. Tradi tion says that here the noble youths, dream- . ing little of danger from the enemy, rest . ed for the moment, and gathered grapes . from the clustering vines that hung thick . with their rich fruit by the road. When. ; ‘sudden as the spark from smitten steel,’ the thousand savage f irms sprang fr itn their ambush, and with hideous yells rush ed to the onslaught. The vigorous youths, unterrified by the su Iden assault, the veils, or the fearful numbers of the enemy, in stantly rallied, and as quickly brought their rifles to their shoulders They had re ceived the cloud of arrows, as the savages approached within bow-shot of their vic tims, but now, in turn, the fatal lead from a still more deadly weapon made many a warrior bite the ground. The certain aim ofthe young band had told death to as many of the savage clan. Still onward they pressed, over their dead, and thickly hurled their missiles. Again, with deadly aim, the fire ofthe little and determined group of whiles brought down the fore , most of the desperate foe, and threw con fusion into their ranks. A gleam of hope broke through the fearful prospect, and for a moment relieved the doubts which { the overwhelming numbers and fierce des peration of the savages had inspired. But quickly in front was heard the animating voice of their valiant chieftain, and as quick ly did they rally and return the destructive I fire. The noble youths, though with half! their uumbers slain, resolved to sell their lives at fatal cost. Nor was a nerve thrill ed with fear, or a heart disposed to falter, astheirultirnate fate now became too plain ly apparent. Still onward, with brutal force, wrought to madness by the example and the thundering voice of the gigantic Phillip, pressed the exulting foe. To utmost deeds brave Lathorp now inspired the daring band, as each had caught from him the thrilling cry: ‘Our God ! —our homes ! —our country, and our sires!’ Butin an instant, pierced with many arrows, he fails among the slain.— The heroic captain, ‘the bravest ofthe brave,’ now fallen, the enemy express their fiendish joy in loud and terrific veils. The fight thickens, and man conflicts with man. The dying groans ofthe Christian nerves each youthful arm, which still deeper re turns successive blows. Impelled with fury at the destruction which was yet making in their ranks by the alm ist stiperhutnan efforts of the brave whites, they strove, with all the brutality of fiends, to complete their deadly work. At length the number ofthe valiant’ youths was reduced to a solitary few; when the ipremost of these, on turning to animate his comrades, saw himself supported by seven only of his-associates. These, find ing all est '.rts at victory'hopeless, and that l . r.ger warfare would but add to the scalps of the victors, dashed their weapons in the face of the foe, and attempted to escape. Ihe two who stood last in this unequal contest—the most athletic of the chival rous corps—bounding over the slain,took a direction toward the Deerfield river, fol-, lowed by two hundred Indians hurlin; • with almost deadly precision tl:' '‘arrows ! and hatchets. zziiVT r ' inis-j siles urged the power? d reif '' , t' •ir I utmost speed. .

Reader, this youth was the wri ! ter’s grandfather! Returning to the spot which history has ! so justly designated as ‘Bloody Brook,’ the I barbarous enemy, on completing their de istruction of life, began that oi the dead. The busy scalping-knife was doing its frightful office, and the naked heads, sever ed from the lifeless trunks, were dancing high in air on the, points of poles. The sickening sight made the less savage foe revolt. Death had not done its last kind duties, when this infernal sport commenc ' ed. The convulsive throe still showed the ; struggle between life and death. The | spouting blood, still warm with life, was I seen to gush forth from the gaping wounds and. trickling along the green-sward, find ,ia repos.lory in the gurgling brook near b>. , I The gory rills were fast purplingthe l.ttle • I stream, and transporting the red tide down ;I to oblivion —the rici est flood that ever i rivulet lore.

But, alas! it was too • late! The scene we have described was presented instead. Filled with rage and • madness, this furious band rushed°down . the hill upon the brutal force, vet gloating . i in blood, and falling like lions am mg them. A made terrible havoc. Alarmed at tiiisfu [ nous and unexpected assault, the sa\ ages i sprung, with fear and desperate fleelness, I,! from the scene, striving oidv to escape the r death which their barbarity so justlv mer ’’ ited.

While standing on the spot • thus hallowed by deeds of bravery, an I • while dwelling on the scenes which the i imagination was picturing before me, I was all at once overwhelmed, as if by a sudden rush of light from the darkness of the past. Circumstances, localities—the realities, in ail the vividness with which they w’ere re lated to me, when but eight vears of age, by my grandsire—started fresh into life. More than thirty years have elapsed since memory recalled one of those impressions, and yet every word that was dropped from the lips ofthat venerated man—his actions —his very look, while relating to me the I affray at Bloody Brook,’came back upon i me more freshly than a dream of yester { night. Every incident ofthat sanguinary fight, than which none in the hist >ry of our country was more fatally decisive, came up from the abyss of time, with all the vi gor and clearness of present vision. He | was then but eighteen years of age—of i pow’crfu! mould, and great muscular ac tivity.
