THE WANDERING RED MAN OF THE MIAMI. Aud oft, as the evening shade fell on the plain, An aged red man met the hunter’s gaze, Listening intently to the night birds strain, Or musing o’er the deeds of by-gone days, Seeming, in look, a man of care and grief, To whom no change can give relief. A tall, athletic white man, as the sun sank slowly behind the western forest shade; was seen to enter a lonely cabin upon the woody shores of the Miami; but he had hardly thrown off his hunting apparatus, before the horrid war-cry of the bloody Sioux struck upon his ear ; and soon a numerous band of that ferocious tribe bounded like startled deer through the frail barrier of his dwelling. Here, however, they met with an unfriendly reception ; for soon the sharp report of the hun ters rifle announced the departure of one red chieftains spirit to the hunting grounds of the blest. They then bound him and departed towards the setting sun, and on the evening of the suc ceeding day drew near tothe village ofthe tribe. Here they halted, and sent a deputation forward to inform the chiefs of their return. These im mediately returned, and soon the whole party began to move. The whippoorwill's plaintive note was heard from the otherwise silent wilder ness; as the village exhibited a long dark row of swarthy old men, squaws and children, who lin ed both sides of the open trail; and upon seeing their well known friends, screamed out with hor rid yells. One singularly dressed squaw (the wife of the fallen chief,) tore handsfull from her disshevclled locks, while she laid herself open to the bone with a sharp instrument, howling I throughout the operation, the death song, the : Sioux soups; but on seeing the hunter, as he ran the gauntlet, she caught the hatchet from the hands of a warrior, and gave tae victim a deep wound on the thigh ; then pressing the crimson fluid to her lips, she returned the instrument to its owner and shaking her finger at the hunter with a hollow laugh entered a neighboring lodge, while the hunter was conducted to prison. As the first rays of morning gleamed upon the bill, the hunter saw through the crevices of his prison numerous swarthy chieftains moving amid the vistas of the forest towards the council fire of the tribe—Half an hour or more had elapsed, and the hunter tortured with suspense, turned from the openings in his apartments and threw himself upon the boughs of a pine tree which composed his bed. At this instant he heard a rustling outside, and immediately the window opened, which heretofore appeared to him to be soilid logs, through which a'young Indian mai den entered. She at once with a sharp knife, severed the withes that confined his arms, and set him at liberty. She then placed her hand upon her breast, and lifting her eyes, while a deep sigh burst from her lips, said in the hun ter’s tongue, “the Sioux chiefs have doomed you to be burnt; but the Sioux maiden love- the pale chief, she has set him at liberty; will the pale face, in return, let the light fawn live in his wig wam V’ “God knows I will,” cried the hunter in rhap sody; “the pale chief will not lie like the French dogs.” “It is enough,” cried the maiden, then turn ing, she blew a small reerl, and soon three sav ages entered, bearing each a knapsack, gun, and other equipments for a march. She pointed to a heap of dry drift wood, to which the savage quickly moved, and handed the hunter his trusty rifle, and a knapsack well, filled with provisions, They then assisted the maiden to climb the win dow when she was soon safe on the other side, followed by the hunter and the Indians, who struck off into a lonely rugged trail, and were soon far from the Sioux lodge. And when the evening shade settled down on the leafy forest, they reached the Chippewa village. Here, upon declaring themselves to a Fronc’a Jesuit, who married them, thev were received with opened arms by the chiefs who gave them a beautiful hut on the borders of a pleasant stream aud made them live in safety. The white man soon became a favorite with the chiefs, in the morning against the wishes of his lovely wife; he joined a hunting expedition to wards the west. Three tedious weeks rolled away, and nought was heard of the little band; but on the first day ol the fourth week an Indian runner, breathless with haste entered the village, and communica ted to her the unwelcome news of her husband being captured and doomed to death by a party of her incensed nation. She spoke not. but stood motionless for a long time; then, as though a sudden ray of hope had dispelled the melan choly forebodings of her imagination, she de parted towards the west with the utmost secre cy, and in the course ofthe next day stood upon a high ascent which overlooked the village of the Sioux. Loud war-hoops now fell upon her ear, sending back the warm blood to her heart. She looked again towards the village, and per- ■ ceived a prisoner led out bound to the horrid stake. She uttered a faint scream, and darted down the hill with the rapidity of an elk, enter ed the circle and threw herself upon her hus band’s neck. “The squaw ot the pale chief will die with him,” said the maiden, in answer to her husband’s reproof for seeking him. Th “ eyes of the painted warriors glistened with tears of admiration, at this token of love, i but their hearts were soon changed to stone by the hoarse voice of their chieftain, command ing them to sing the war song of the Sioux ; as he advanced with his lifted tomahaw towards the prisoner. For a moment no gazed upon the hunters features, and then with a horrid denun ciation, let fall the glittering hatchet, but the! maiden sprang forward and received the blow. | Then, with an angelic smile, she pressed the hand of her husband and fell lifeless into the arms of her agonized father. The chief cast: one solitary look towards the remains of his once i lovely daughter, and then, bidding the hunter ! depart in safety tothe land of his fathers, he bu- j l ied his head in his blanket, and was Jed by the j young warrior to his lodge. The hunter, after shedding tears of deep sor- j row over the light fawn’s grave, returned to the J settlements of the whites on the shores of the) Atlantic, while the Sioux chief wandered forth ! upon the banks of the Miami, an unhappy ma niac. And oft in after years, as the whites pas-1 KPf! hy n Innnlji nut nn <lio ImnL-o | at evening’s silent hour a strange red mad, with j his flesh torn hy the sharp thorns of the thickets, would meet them and point towards a lock of raven hair, which „hung by his side; then utter a hideous yell, would bound into the forest startiiiig ravenous wild cat from her prey, and leaving the strangers to pursue their route, | unable to learn what he was, save that he bore, i among the white hunters, the appellation ol the i Wandering Red Man of the Miami. Jldrift without Oars. —“ Well, away vve wint, like a marvellous pretty kite when the string’s ‘moke—with never a rope to catch hold, an oar to shove with, nor a livin’ baste, nor a bit ol ould Ireland to clap my deluging eyes upon, but the stars and the blue heavens shinin’ above us, 1 mean the boatand me,for the devil a livin’crea ture was near us. Oh! ’twas thin that I saw with the tare of pity in my eye that I was insignifi cant quite, and could do nothin’ for myself at all, no more than the frog in the witeensec, or the babe unborn, with its arms tied behind its back! Well, the monstrous sea glowed at me, and a thought struck my hart, saying. It’s the great fish of the sea, they’ll devour ye’s Pat.— Ob ! says I to myself, sure an the infidels would like nothin’ better than to make their supper, monstrocious thaves that they arc, off a tinder harted Irishmen, hut the never a bit of sweet consolation came over me, for the thinking about it. And all the while I was thinkin’ of the villanous sharp teeth of the fish ploughin’ my ribs, the deserving sea was taken the ’van tage of me. ‘Botheration to your compass you nasty big soft one,’ says I, ‘for to take such an ungintlemanly advantage to one who hasn’t an oar to resist you, you smooth-faced glutton,’ says I, to carry a man ragin’ out in the ocean like a cat in a washin’ tub,’ says I ‘to devour him.’ ‘Bad scran to your big flat face, says I to the sea, and may the sweat never leave my brow, says I to the host [for there was only three of us,] ‘but I’ll give you one trial any how,’ said I : so sitting on the bow bedial put the brogues o’me again’ the bow, and seizing the rope tied to the ring, in the inside of her nose, I bent on it like a roarin’ lion, till the very bones o’ my back were starting, may the power go from the elbo o’ me but her head was as stiff as an ass with two parts o’ the mule in him ! ! Tare an ouns,’ says I, an its to drown me you, mean Van I hitched the rope round my waist and bent on it twice worse ru r ever, till every toe o’ ir.e leg was crackin’ like burnin’ broom ; with faceness ; but just at the liionHWt I was j compassing her, away come (lie it was ; my scone that took the benua with the most j shameful pelt that made the teeth o’ r so chatter i like a handful o’ greypease on an ould tin can ! j I lay insensible for more, nor can I tell, happin’ a world of cursea on the head of the carpenter, that made the villanous ling. When I camel out o’ the dozing, I was mighty Pkietisii, for 11 thought I wasto be drown’d alt the same as a, cargo of blind kittens, and the live world no-j thin’ known about it at all, at all. .So it was 1 prayin’ I wint, an’Jif s laugh you need n’t, it was j death an’ devourin’, and may be starvation I j was lookin for, and never a Minister to sav, ‘rest your troubled soul,’ so it was down on my naked bare ones I wint, an’ lookin’ the stars an* the moon right in the face as she was stealin’ away through the clouds in a shockin’ hurry, ‘Father dear of Heaven,’says I mighty penitent, that you would send by boy Mick to me with the hen ladder over his should, that I might do ‘he power o’ my sowl to scull the boat ashore! May never the light ofheaven dart on me, says I; but yonder it comes tben, an’ without livin’ soul carrying it.’ ‘ Sure,’ clapping my thigh, says I, ‘but that’s pretty in the providence too, think that it sends so gentaley before the words were right out o’ my mouth. It came reeling on, till I could disarn the steps for the chick teach you, you botheration mnn-drowncr, that Paddy’s the master o’ you.’ But, stop a bit, the pole came up with me ; ‘stop now,’ says in. Och!’ says I to the boat, ‘it’s now I’ll I, an’ I’ll kieh ye as ye come past; but bad cess to the bitt o’ stick it was, but a nate string o’ wild ducks all in a row, and they passed over my head, without sayin’ a word, an’ their wings singin’ like nightingales. Houl, then, ye villa nous desavers,’ says I till I give you a word of message ashore, but the never a bit they stop ped—the spalspeen ! ‘ Twas then that I set me down as lonely as a piece of dirt in a stira bout dish, and 1 fell asleep all for the want o’ someone to help me ashore, an’ would you be lieve it, when I came to myself, I was lying on the shorn with the boat, without the bottom. I turned over me like a mouse'below a hat without the crown on it! — Bedfast Paper. Ireland. —This beautiful but unhappy coun try continues to be the favorite seat of anarchy and confusion. Centuries have witnessed the feuds and animosities existing between her ! sons on account of religious differences, and notwithstanding the boasted march of intellect in this enlightened age, the deadly hate inheri ted hy the descendants of opposing factions,. continues to be cherished with all the fatal infa tuation that haspo.ssessed her brave but too ; credulous inhabitants. The hateful feelings that have been reciprocally entertained by pro testants and Catholics, have been stimulated by the English government, from motives too clear to be mistaken. It was the pleasure as well as interest, of the oppressors of Ireland, to fan into a flame the smouldering embers of discord on every occasion, while, secure, in the domestic strife that divided her strength, they imposed such burthens as tended to sink their victim still lower in the scale of moral and physical exis- I tence. The tacit consent of her rulers being given to such measures as were calculated to debase the Catholic - Pro testants were cajoled into an alliance witfi lire predominant power; but, when the former in their might, successfully stepped forward to vindicate their rights, and obtained those privi leges which had been as unjustly withheld, a* they had been violently wrested from them, thco_ the scene was changed ; the former favorites ol power became what their enemies had previous been considered —rebel.*. And what has been the effect of this? A breach more wide and deep than that which previously existed. Nay more; the subdivision of these parties into oth ers, such as Reformers and Anti-Reformers, Abolitionists, Conversarists, &c. &c. has cnn-. bled the government again, to place the foot ot power on the prostrate neck ot her, that is ridi culously stvled the Sister Kingdom. The Irish Coercion Bill, has passed the House of Lords pr in other w ords, a military government ha3 been decreed as the most suit able expedient for the immediate reduction of that spirit of liberty, which ever and anon rears her proud head among those seagirt hills. Thanks however to the sturdy and determined spirits of the English libcralists, by w hom an opposition is threatened to the autocratic mea sures of their government, such bloody designs may yet be frustrated. Could Irishmen at home, (of all persuasions,) see with what advantage the numerous religious sects of America exer cise tolerance and good will, they need no fur ther proof to convince them of the policy, as well as happiness of such a state. But until they can liberate their minds from the narrow and selfish feelings of sectarian ascendancy, never need they attempt to throw oil the yoke 01 British Despotism.
