INDIAN DEATH SONG. '
“ The moss is on thy four gray stouts. The mourn
ful wind is there. The battle shall be fought without
thee.”—Ossian.
The warrioi is gone, but ho died not with glory,
He fell not in battle, by arm of thO foo;
Dark, dark i3 the deed, and ensanginned the story,
The murd’rers at midnight laSwT Sflntosh low. *
The moon-beam shone bright on the dogwootUtree
blossom,'
* His wigwam was still as the dove in'her nest;
Suspicion ne’re lurked in the brave Warrior’s bosom,
The (rieod of his nation, peace reign’d in his breast.
Had the mQrning-stwudawDed on the Wauior
Far, his home had he gone,
F">r the vision Qf hope on his fancy was breaking,
That told him ofHonourapd Glory to come.
But n-> V wHl tfm Hero Wake asrain! never!
Cold ■ is the. heart of the Warrior so brave;
is w Uoop i» hushed, ’tis now silenced for ever,
An • nought hut the death-song is heard at his
: grave.
his Father he’s gone! hut he fell not with glory,
He died not in battle by arm of the foe;
Dark, dark is the deed, and ensannnin’d the story,
The murd’rers at midnight laid M’Intosh low.
v>n his gfeer. sward the wild rose and spring fiow’rs
will blossom,
. Tke Jiaxpof the minstrel his death will deplore.
And i c hunter will pause as he sighs from his bosom
„ There.quicin’s sou swell for the Warrior no more.

And watched each motion of the waves until

imagination presented him mangled with
wounds, and the smallest gust of wind
seemed to threaten her with an eternal sep
aration.—Did a ship enter into port, her
eager steps led her to the spot, and many
an inquiry was repaid with an insolpnt rebuff
After eight months spent in this anxious
manner, a ship arrived, bringing her the
melancholy tidings, “ that some Hessian
officers, who were wounded, were on their
passage.” Her impatience increased dai
ly. A vessel at length arrived, reported to
have Hessian troops on hoard. She kept
at some distance, for fear of giving too great
a shock to her husband’s feelings, should ho
be among them. He was landed with others :
she fainted, and he was conveyed she knew
jiot where. Having recovered, and going
to the different inns, she found, at last, her
husband- The master of the inn informed
her “ho was very bad,” and she begged

broken to him. When she entered the
room he burst into tears. A lady was sup
port ing him in her arms. What words or
pointer could represent the tragedy that fol
lowed! He had married in America, and
this person was also his wife. He intreated
pardon, but was past reproach, for a few
minutes after he sank into the arms ofdeath.
v. The lady, whose history we are recording,
rushed from the room, and leaving her
clothes and money at her lodgings, she
wandered she knew not whither, vowing
“ that she would never enter house, or trust
toman.!’ She stopped at last, near Bris

milk. There was something so attractive
in'her whole appearance, as soon produced

Beneath the hay-stack, Louisa’s dwelling rose,
Hero the fair maniac bore four winter’s snows;
Here long she shivered stiffening in the blast,.
A nd lightnings round her head their horrors cast,
Dishevell’d lo! her beauteous trusses fly,
And the wild glance now fills thp staring eye,
The balls fierce glaring in their orbits move ;
Bright spheres, where beamed the sparkling fires of
love. *
lU-starr’c! Louisa !
It was near four years that this forlorn
creature devoted herself to tins desolate life,
since she knew the comfort of a bed, or the
protection of a roof. Hardships, sickness,
intense cold, and extreme misery, have
gradually impaired he beauty, but she is
still a most interesting figure, and there re
mains uncommon sweetness and delicacy in
her air and manner, and her answers are
always pertinent enough, except when she
suspects the questions are meant to affront
or ensnare her, when she seems sullen or
nng;y. Some Quaker Ladies at this time
interposed, and Louisa, as she w T ns called,
was conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where she
at present is, and sjill. maintains her indig
nation against the men.
The person with whom she lodged, upon
her death l>cd, divulged the secret of the
flight of this stranger from Portsmouth,
which corresponds nearly with ^he, time of
her arrival near Brisjfp!, and subsequent in
quiries have discovered that she is “ the
daughter of Francis, Emperor of (Germany.*

ed?—-Our men were then starving. The
poor fellows although they had forgotten
tHeir animal wants in the execution of their
dity, plainly displayed in their faces the
weakness of their bodies. Every hum of
tie crowded encampment, lpoked wan and
spirits by resolution and patience. - Many a
manly fellow felt, in silence, the bitterness
of hs situation, and many a forced Hiber
nian joke was passed from a suffering heart
to lighteq a, comrade’s cares. There was
no upbraiding, for all were sufferers alike;
and, with the exception of a few pardonable,
curses on the commissary, there was no
turbulence—-all was manly patience.
In about anfoour after the taking of the
old house in front, I went out frp® our hut
in a wood, to see the place of action. I met
four or five oi our men wounded, led and
carried by their comrades. The officer
commanding the party now joioed me, and
walked back to the house, to give farther
directions about wounded men not yet re
moved. \\ hen we had gone about fifty
yards, we met a wounded soldier carried
very slowly-in a blanket by four men. As
soon as he saw the officer who was along
with me, he cried out in a feeble but forced
voice, “ Stop! stop!—lay me down:—let
me speak to the captain.” The surgeon,
who was along with him, had no objection,
for, ii> my opinion, he thought the man be
yond the power of his skill, arid the sufferer
was laid gently down upon the turf, under
the shade of a projecting rock. 1 knew the
w ounded man’s face in a moment, for I had
often remarked him as being a steady well-
concjuctcd soldier: his age was about forty-
one or two, and he had a wife and two chil
dren in England. I saw death in the poor
fellow’s face. He was shot in the throat—
or -rather between the shoulder and the
throat: the ball passed apparently down
wards, probably from having been fired from
the little hill on which the French posted
themselves when they left the house. The
blood gurgled from the.wound at every ex
ertion lie made to speak. I asked the sur
ge- n what he thought of the man, and that
gentleman whispered, “ It is all over with
him.” He said he had done every thing he

Most of the men, from having been ac
customed to disappointment in supplies of
rations, managed their little stock of provi
sions so economically, that it lasted nearly
three days ; and some were so gastronomi-
cally ingenious and heroic, as to have ex
tended it to four. But, on the other : 4i«nd.
the greatest number were men of great ap
petite and little prudence, who saw and
tasted the end of their rations on the second
day after possession. Indeed, the active
life in which all were then engaged, left few
without that piquant relish for their food,
which the rich citizen, _in the midst of his
luxury, might gladly exchange half his
wealth for; the greatest of them all, in taste
as well as in purse, can never enjoy his
epulation with so enviable a zest, as these
campaigned did their coarse dry beef and
flinty biscuit.
As the men grew weaker, the.work grew
heavier: and as hunger increased, so did
the necessity for physical exertion. The
enemy were constantly annoying us, and
every hour of the day, brought a skirmish,
either with their little squads of cavalry,
their riflemen, or their voltigeurs.* The
rifles would advahee by the cover of a
hedge, or hill, perhaps, while the voltigeurs
would suddenly dart out from a ditch into

“ You have. Tom, you have—and nobly

“ God bless you!—I have only one thing

comrades, he jtsked for his haversack, which
was immediately handed to him. “ I have

Leaning Tower of Pisa.—In ten minutes

feet from the ground. The ascent by means

Its form is circular, per naps thirty feet in

could tell of the agony of the parent, and the

leave him and return to the factory. Some
one, when all other aid seemed to fail, pro-

he said, “ get more help, and it might awake

rate it could do no harm, and besides thero
was nothing else they could do.” Tho
lanthorns and the factory b‘H in the night,
aroused all the bells in the neighbourhood,
and all the inhabitants of the contiguous
c ty. The cry of “ fire,” and of “ where is
it ?” was raised at once. Down came the
engines—down came the people, and, best
ot all, down came the Fire wardens.
Joab Stark, a hard working man in the
day time, anda proportionally hard sleeping
man in the night, had heard nothin;; of all
this disturbance, though he lodged in the
factory buildings, and though they had been
ransacked from ridgepole to foundation, un
til he was aroused by the voice of. an en
ergetic Firewarden, who for once did not
exactly know what he was about, with the
plain and intelligible command, “ form a
line !” at which he awoke and inquired what
was the mhtter. The warden could’nt tell
him, but the mother could.—“ She had lost
her child,” she said, “her little Jim that he
used lo play with, and she could’nt find him,
and the Engines had’nt,.nothing to do with
it.” “ All firelock,” said Joab,. 1 went out

Few words were spoken. The body was

division was bivouacked, and the whole of

tended his interment, which took place in
about two hours after. He was wrapped
infiis blanket, just as he was, and laid in
the earth. The captain himself read a
prayer over his grave, and pronounced a
short but mpressive eulogy on the merits
of the departed. He showed the men the
biscu t, as he related to them the manner m
which it had been given to him, and he de
clared he would never taste it, but keep the
token in remembrance of the good sold'er,
even though he starved.—The commissary,
however, arrived that night, and prevented
the necessity of ! trial to the captain’s ami

Different inodes of SalutaticfL.—The
Greenlanders^ never salute one another ;
is mixed, and scarcely reducible to any
the entitled, orders. All the stories except
the uppermost are girt with open galleries,
composed of pillars and arches, presenting
the most light, airy, and fanciful piece of
net-work imaginable. The seventh story
contains a chime of bells; and the eighth is
left open, guarded by an iron balustrade.
But the greatest curiosity about this
tower is its inclination. It . nods towards
the south-east by a variation from a perpen
dicular at top of about fourteen foot; and
another slight jog would throw it without
the centre of gravity. To the spectator, as
the clouds swim by, it really appears in the
attitude of falling, it has, however, stood in
this position for six centuries, and may
perhaps, stand as many more ; though a
moderate shock of an earthquakejgould ap
parently rock it from its base, and prostrate
its enormous load of marbles upon a block
of houses directly under it. Its inclination
has given rise to various speculations. Some
have supposed it was originally constructed
in this way as an architectural curiosity.
Others believe that while it was in progress,
the ground gave way, causing the inclina
tion ; and that another story, leaning in a
contrary direction was subsequently added,
by way of a balance to keep it from falling.
But what kind of a philosopher must the
architect have been, to place a heavy weight
in any position, upon the top of a structure,
to prevent it from tumbling ? In my opinion
the subject does not admit of a doubt. On
