Wo had no riches; our daily labor Was all the wealth we sould hope to win ; Hut we built in our heart’s a royal p.ilaco For love's own uugels to enter in. Our lowly future wc fondly painted With tender dreamings of household joy— Hwoot thoughts that thrill in a woman’s bosom And a true heart’s aervicj without alloy. , Three days of leisure we roam’d tog- ther, One golden emmuir, by rock and wave, But when the leave* fell with reddened rust’e, The churchyard grass lay above his grave. And I, who had thought to rest securely On the bravo heart that wu all my own, Hud to bury my grief, an 1 go forth unshielded, To toil in the weary world alone, llut 1 c never knew me worn and faded. My brown hair silver'd, my eyes grown dim. Lvt ho siw mo through love’s own splendor And hu took that imago to ilcav -.1 with bun So I fondly think when my task is end si, And the long'd-fur rest s’veil my brow unfold, lie will meet me first on tho hills of Eden, A Dd I shall be fair, as in days of old ! AN INDIAN STORY. Adams Poe’s Htfht With Two Indians. AN ADVENTURE OF Tin; I.AST CENTURY. About tin* middle ol july, 1782, sevi'U Wyandot ts crossed the Ohio a lew miles above Whet ling, and committed great dupradatioiis upon the Southern shore, killing an old man whom they found alone in his cabin, and spreading terror throughout the neighborhood. Within a few hours after their retreat, eight men assembled from different parts of the Biuull settlement, fil'd pursui'il the enemy with great expedition. Among the most active ami efficient of the party, were two brothers, Adam and Andrew 1W They had not folio ved the trail far, before they became satisfied that the depradators were conducted bv Big Foot a njnewned chief of the Wynndott tribe, who derived his name from the immense size of liis feet. Adam l’oe was overjoyed at the idea of measuring his strength with that of so celebrated a chief, and urged th*> pur suit with a keenne s tliet soon brought lim in the vicinity of the enemy. For the last few inil-s, the trail had led them up the Southern bank of tits Ohio, where the foot piit.ts m the sand were deep and obvious, but when within a few hundred yards of the point ut which the whites as well as the Inians were in the habit of crossing, it suddenly diverged from the stream* and streohed along a roeky ridge. Here Adam halted, for a moment, and directed bis brother amt the pther A'oung men to follow the trail with preper caution, while ho himseil adhered to the river path, which lot through a cluster of willows directly to the point where he supposed the enemy t> lie. Having exam.nod the priming of his gun, he crept cautiously througu the bushes until he had a view of the point of embai kation. Here lay two canoes, showing that Indians were close at hand lie relaxed nothing of his vigilance, and gaining a jutting cliff, which hung im mediately over the canoes, i e peered cautiously over, and beheld the object of bis search. The gigantic 3ig Foot lay below bin in the shale of a willow, and was talk ing iu a low, deep tone lo another wat rior, who seemed a mere p piny by bis side. Adam cautiously drew back and cocked his gnu. The mark was tan the distance did opt exceed twenty leet, and his aim was unerring, liaising his rifle slowly and cautious!), lie took a steady aim at Big Foot s In east, and drew the trigger. His gun flashed. Both Indians sprung to their feet with a deep interjection of surprise. Adam v.as too much hampered by the bushes to retreat, and setting his life upon a oast of the die, lie sprung over the hush which had sheltered him, and summon ing all his powers, leaped boldly down ■the precipice upon the breast of Big F 00l with a shock that bore J'ini to ti e earth. At the moment of contact. Ad en ii’id thrown his tight arm around the ujck ot the sma kr Indian, su '.hai all three I'ttuiu to lit; until at onco. At 4h#t moment, a sliarp firug was hesud among the bushes above, announiing that the other parties were engaged, but the trio below were too busy to attend to auyihiug but themselves. Big Foot was lor an instant stunned by the vio lence of the shock, and Adam was ena bled to keep them both down. But the exertion nocoessary for that purpostnvas so great- that he had no leisure to use his knife. Big Foot quickly recoven and, and without attempting to rise, wrapped his long arms around Adam s body, and pressed hitu to his breast with the crush ing force ot a boa constrictor. Adam instantly relaxed his hold of the small Indian, who sprung to his feet. Big Foot then ordered him to run lor his tomahawk, wilin' lay within ten steps, and kill the while man while he held him in his arms.—Adam, seeing his danger, struggled manfully to extricate If nwell from the fold s ot the g'anf, bttf in vain. The I cater Indian approached with hi* uplifted tomahawk, bat Adam watched him closely, and, as ho wuh t ' , nlmut to strike, gave him a kick so sud den and violent, as to knock the luma', hawk out of h;s hand, and send him staggering back into 'he water. Hut the leaser Indian again approached, car fully avoiding Adam's heels, and making many motions with his tomahawk, in order to deceive him as to the point where the blow woo (1 tall. Such was Adam's dexterity and vig il-neo, however, that he maiiajed to receive the tomahawk in a glancing d recti m upon the. left wrist, wounding him deeply, but not disabling h!tn. lie now made a sudden and and sperato effort to free himself from the arms of the gi .ii.t, and succeeded. Instantly snatching up a rifle, tor the Indian coil'd r.ot ven turi' to shoot for I ear of hurting his corn panion, he shot the lesser Indian through the body —Hut scarcely bad lie done so w hen Hig Foot arose, and placing one hand upon his col ar, and <ho other up— 'on his hip, pitched him into the air jas he him-elf would l.avo p tched a i child. Adam It'll upon his back at the edge of the water, hut before his antagonist could spring upon aim, he was again upon Ins led, and stung with rage at the idea of being handled so easily, he at lacked his gigantic antagonist with fury 1 which for a time compensated for inferi- ority of sirengrh. It was now a lair fist light between them, lor in the hurry ol the struggle rnitlni bid letsuie to draw their knives. Adam’s superior activity and experience as a pug gave him great advantage. The Indian struck awkwardly, and finding himself rapidly dropping to leeward, he closed with his antagonist, and again hurled him to the ground. They quickly rolled into the river, and the struggle contin ued with unabated fury, each attempting to drown the other. The Indian being unused to such violent exertion, and having been much injured by the first shock in his stomach, was unable to exc t the same powers which had given him such a superiority at first; and Adam seizing him by the scalp-lock, put b s bead midci water, and held it there un til the faint struggles of the Indian in duced him to believe that be was drown ed, when he r**iaxed his hold an attemp ted to draw his knife. The Indian, however, instantly regained his feet, and mi bis i urn put bis adversary under In tbo struggle, both were carried out in the current beyond their depth, and each was compelled to relax bis bold and swiin for life. There was still one one loaded lille upon the shore, and each swam bard in order to reach it, but tbo Indian proved the most expet t swimmer, and Adam seeing that be should be too late, turned and swain out into the si renin, intending to dive, and thus frustrate bis enemy’s intention. At 11 ,is instant, Andrew, Having beard that his brother was'alone in a struggle with two Indians, and in great danger an up hastily to the bank above, m or iel* to assist Inin.—Another white man iollnwcd him closely , and seeing Adam n the liver, covered with blood, and swimming rapidly from shore, mistook bins for an Indian, fired upon him. wounding him dungi rously in the shoulder. Adam turned, and seeing bis hi other, called loudlv upon him ‘to shoot tbo big Indian upon shore.' Andrew's gun, however, was empty, having just been discharged. Fortunately, Big Foot had also sized the gun with which Adam had shot the Ind.an, so that both were upon equality. The conte l was now who should load first. Big Fool poured in his powder first, and drawing his ramrod ont of its sheath in too great a hurry threw it into the river, and while lu* ran to recover it Andiew gained an advant ge. Sill the Indian was but a second too late, for bis gun was at his shoulder when Andrew’s ball entered Ins breast. The gun dropped from bis hands mid he fed forward upon h s faee upon iln* very margin of the river. An drew. now alarmed tor his brot ier, who was semeely able to swim, threw down his gun and rushed inti the river and brought him ashore. Adam Poe recov ered of his wv nods, and lived many years after his eontiiei; bat never for ot the tremendous hug which he sus tained in thu itr,ns of Big Foot.

A Witty Lecture. The fo lowing extract from the report of a committee on flogs, read before an agricultural society ‘down Fast,'contains some excel,cut hits : ‘Again : Some folks accuse pigs of being filthy in their habits, and negligent in their personal appearance. But whether food is best eaten off the ground, or from China plates, is, it seems to me, merely a matter of taste and con venience, about which pigs and men may iiomstly differ.—They ought, then to be judged charitably. At any rate, pigs are not filthy enough to chew tobacco, nor io poison their breath by drinking whiskey. JAnd as to their personal ap pearance, you don’t catch a pig playing the dandy, nor the female among them [licking their way up this muddy village, aftei a rain, in kid slippers. ‘Notwithstanding their heterodox no tions, hogs have some excellent traits of character. If one chances lo wallow a little deeper in some miie hole than his fellows, so carries on and comes in pos session of more of tins earth than his brethren, he never assumes an extra im portance on that, account; nor are they stupid enough to worship him for it. There only question seems to be, is he still s hog? If he is treat him as such. ‘And when a hog has no rneiits of his oa n, nor claims any particular resist on account of his lamily conmctu ns; and yet some hog* have descended full well, the common sense maxim every tub must stand on a bottom.’ ONE DOLLAR WILL, GET THE WEEKIT CONSTITUTION, Free of Postage, tiH J BIUSIV IST, 1817.
