t POETRY,
HYMN.
From the Christian Disciple.
In tJie following llyn*n. founded on certain pa
rages in the Apocalypse, [Rev. iv. 11. 3. XV.-3]
nn attempt is made to retain, as far as possihle,the
very language of the sacred writings, and all the
merit of the verses, if they have any, is owing to
this circumstance.
Around the throne of God
The host angelick throngs;
They spread their palms abroad,
And shout perpetual songs:
Him first they own, Him last and best,
God ever blest, And God alone. {
* Their golden crowns they fling,
Before his throne ol light,
And strike the rapt’rous string,
Unceasing d.iy and night;
forth, heaven and sea, Thy praise declare,
For thine they are, Aud thine shall be.
O, holy, holy Lord!
Creation’* Sov'reign King!
Tr y majesty adored
Let all creation sing:
V.'ho wast, and art, And art to he,
Nor time shall see Thy swey depart.
Great are thy works of praise,
O God of boundless might;
Adjust and tiue thy ways,
Thou King of Saints in light t
Let all above. And all below,
Conspire to show Thy porv’r and love.
Who shall not fear ILe Lord,
And magnify thy name?
Thy judgments sent abroad,
Thy holiness proclaim :
Nations shall throng From every shore,
Ai.d all adore In one loud song.
While thus the powers on high
Their swelling chorus raise,
Let earth and man reply,
And tcho back the prai.e;
Ilis glory own, First, last, and best,!
God ever blest, And God alone. j

From the Greet; of Sal odea —Fr Ccxeerlas'D.
Is there a roan, just, honest, nobly born ?
Malice shall hunt him down. Does wealth at
tend him ?
Trouble is hard behind.—Conscience direct ?
Beggary is at his heels, is he an artist ?
T are well repose !—An equal, upright judge ?
Report shall blast his virtues. Is he strong?
Sickness shall sap his strength. Account that day,
Which brings no new mischance, a day of rest,
for what is roan ? What matter is he made of?
How born ? What is he, aud wiiat shall he be?
What an unnatural parent is this world,
To foster none btc! villains, and destroy
All who are benefactors to mankind
M hat was the fate of Socrates?—A poison—
A dose of poison—tried, condemn'd and bill’d!
How died Diogenes ’ Asa dog dies—
With a raw morsel in his hungry throat.
Alas for -I'.iChllui ! Musing as he walked,
’i be soaring eagle dropp’d a tortoise down,
And crush’d that brain where tragedy had birth.
A paltry grape-stone choked the Athenian hard,
And godlike Horner, woe the while, was starv'd.
Thus life, blind life, teems with perpetual woes.
MISCELLANY.
FROM THE SEW YORK AMERICAS.
V* T e have perused wiih much pleasure
the narrative of the life of Mr. John Huti
ler, and his account of the manners, cus
toms, &c. of the Indians, which have recent
ly been published, and are for sale by our
book-sellers. Mr. Hunter is the while man
whose escape from the Indians, with whom
he had been domesticated from childhood,
was noticed some time since in (he pipers,
sod considerable interest was then excited
ly the siatements of his intelligence and
progress in improvement, as well ashy the
hope that through him much new light
might he thrown on the true character and
cundition of our bordering savages. The
details of the l.bits and customs of the In
dian tribes, of their improvement in the few
arts that exist among them, and particular
ly of their simples, which have so long’
maintained a supremacy of medical virtue!
in the belief of the uninformed, are interes
ting. and in some instances new. We de
rived, however, r.oie gratification from the
history of the life and adventures of the
writer, which are told in a style and mu.
ner that would not discredit many practiced
authors, whose minds have, been formed bt
early discipline and cultivation. Mr. Hun
ter was taken wheo quite a child from one
of our frontier settlements, as he supposes,
when his parents or those with whom he
had connexion, were murdered. Os them
and the scenes of his earlier life he has lost
all truces of recollection, and from Ins own
account appears soon to have identified him
self with the new race of brings by which
he had been adopted. He passed m suc
cession, Irnra various causes, into several
different tribes, and became in the end an
Indian in inclination and character as well
as habit. He still, however, appears to
have retained some sympathies for his own
race, and his final separation from his sav
age associates was produced by disclosing
their projects of murdering and plundering
trading party to the intended victims, with
whom he was obliged to seek safety in
flight.
The following extract affords a favoura
ble and interesting specimen of the work;
and furnishes several curious particulars of
the character of the country between the
Mississippi and the Kocky Mountains. It
comprises the incidents of the period when
lie had abandoned the parly of whites with
whom he fled lrom his Indian associates;
“ I journeyed nearly north, over a coun
try, which at first was level and partly com
posed of prairie land, though afterwards it
was somewhat hilly; and in the contee of
a few days, struck upon the waters flowing,
as I have since learned, into White river,
at which I afterwards arrived, and gradual
ly ascended in a northern direction till it be
came only a stream.
“The prairie lands I passed over were
i covered with a very luxuriant grazing ve
getation, and afforded subsistence for ex
ceedingly numerous herd* of buffalo, elk,
j and deer.
“Rattlesnakes, both black and parti col
j cored, were larger and more numerous than
11 bad ever before seen; anil they would in
fest the country, to a much greater extent,
were it not for the hostility that exists be
tween them and the deer.
j “ This animal, on discovering a snake, as
1 have repeatedly witnessed, retreats some
distance from it, then running with
great rapidity aiights with i • collected fee!
upon it; and repeals this manoeuvre till it
has destroyed its enemy.
‘‘The hunting season for firs had now
gone by, and the time and labour necessary
to procure food for myself, were very in
j considerable. I knew of no human being
j near me: my only companions were the
•grazing herd*, the rapacious animals that
j preyed on them, the heaver and other ani
’ tnals that afforded pelts, and Lards, fish, and
replilcs. Notwithstanding this solitude,
many sourcesof amusement presented the m
. selves to me, especially after 1 had become
i somewhat familiarized to it. The country
; around was delightful, and 1 roved over it
j almost incessantly, in ardent expectation ol
falling in with some party of Indians, with
. whom 1 might be permitted to associate ray
j sett. Apart from the hunting that was es
! senlial to my subsistence, 1 practised vari
i otis arts to take fish, birds* and small game,
frequently Lathed in the river, aud took
great pleasure in regarding the dispositions
aud habits of such animals,as were present*
! ed to my observation.
*’ The conflicts of the male JjuiTaloes and
| deer, the ailack of the latter on the rattle
snake, the indtUry aud ingenuity of the
| beaver in constructing its,dam, 4'C ; nod
the attack* of the panther on its prfy, af
iorded much interest, and engrossed much
time. Indeed, 1 have lain for half a day at
a time in the shade to witness the nianage-
ment and policy observed by the ants in
! storing up their food, the manteuvres of the
j ’‘pidfr in taking it* prey, the artifice of the
: mason fly (Sphex.) in constructing and stor :
| ir,g its clayey cells, and the voraciousness
aod industry ol the dragon fly, (Libellula)
to satisfy its appetite. In cne instance I
vexed a rattlesnake till it bit itself, and sub
sequently saw it die from the poison of its
■nvn fangs. I ai*o saw one strangled in the
wreathed folds ol its inveterate enemy the
‘.'lack snake. But in the mid-t of this ex
traordinary employment, my mind was far
■ com being satisfied. I looked back with
ine most painful reflections on what I had
been, and how irreparable sacrifices I had
made merely to become an out-cast, to be
noted and despised by those I -iucerely lov
ed and esteemed. But however much I
was disposed to be dissatisfied and quarrel i
with myself, the consolation of the most en-j
tire conviction that I had acted rightly, al-!
ways followed, and silenced my self-up
braiding*. ‘The .ii xieties and regrets about
my nation, country, and kindred, for a long
time held paramount dominion over all my
leelings; but I looked unwaveringly to the
Great Spirit, in whom experience had
taught me to confide, nnd the tumultuous
agitations of my mind gradually subsided in
to a calm : 1 became satisfied with the lone
liness of my situation, could lie dovvn to
sleep among the rocks, ravines and femes,
in careless quietude, and hear the wolf and
panther prowling around me; and almost
leel the venomous reptiles seeking shelter
and repose under my robe, with sensations
bordering on indifference.
In one of my excursions, while seated in
the shade of a large tree, situated on a gen
tle declivity, with a view to procure some
mitigation from the oppressive heat of the
mid-day sun, I was surprised hy a tremen
dous rushing noise. I sprang up, and dis
covered a herd,! believe of a Lhotisaad buf
faloes, miming at full speed directly towards
me ; with a view, as I supposed, to beat off
the flies, which at this season are incon
| ceivably troublesome to these animals.
“ 1 placed myself behind the tree, so as
not to be seen, not apprehending any dan
ger ; because they run with great rapidity,
and too close together to atferd any one of
them an opportunity of injuring one while
protected in this manner.
“ buffaloes passed so near me on
both sides, that 1 could have touched sev
eral of them merely by extending my arm.
In the rear ol the herd was one on which
a huge panther had fixed, and was vora
ciously engaged in cutting off the muscles
of its neck. I did not discover the circum
stance till it had nearly p issed beyond rifle
shot distance, when I discharged my piece
and wounded the panther. It instantly left
its hold on the buffaloe, and bounded with
sreat rapidity towards me. On witnessing
the result of my shot, the apprehensions I j
suffered can scarcely be imagined. I had,!
however, sufficient presence of mind to re- i
treat and secrete myself behind tbe trunk 1
of the tree opposite to its approaching di- j
rection. Here, solicitous for what might 1
be the result of my unfortunate shot, I pre
pared both my knife and tomahawk for
what I supposed a dreadful conflict with
this terrible animal. In a few moqients,
however, I had the satisfaction to hear it in
1 branches of the tree over my head.
• My rifle had just been discharged, and I
entertained fears that I could not reload it
! without discovering, and yet exposing my
i sell to the fury of its destructive rage. |
looked into the tree with the utmost cau
tion, but qould not t perceive it, though its
groans and vengeance-breathing growls,
told me it was not far off, and also what I
had to expect in case it should discover me.
In this situation, with my eyes almost con
slnntly upwards to observe ils motions, I si
lently loaded my rifle, and then creeping
softly round the trunk of the tree, saw my
formidable enemy resting on a considerable
branch, about 30 feet from the ground,with
his side fairly exposed. I was unobserved,
took deliberate aim, and shot him through
the heart. It made a single bound from the
tree to the earth, and died in a moment af
terwards. I reloaded my rifle before I
ventured to approach it, and even then not
without some apprehension. I took its
skin, and was, with the assistance of fire
and smoke, enabled to preserve and’ dress
it. I name this circointtance, because it
afterwards afforded a source of some
amusement ; for I used frequently to ar
ray myself in it, as near as possible to
the costume aud form of the original, and
surprise the herds of buffaloes, elk and
leer, which, on my approach, uniformly
fled with great precipitation and dread.
“ On several occasions, when I waked in
the morning, I found a rattlesnake coiled
up close along side ofme ; some precaution
was necessarily used to avoid them. In
one instance I lay quiet till the snake saw
fit to retire ; in another I rolled gradually
and imperceptibly two or three times over,
till out ol his reach. And in another,where
the snake was still more remote, but in
which we simultaneously discovered each
other, I was obliged, while it was gene
rously warning me of the danger I had to
tear from Ihe ve-nomous potency of its fangs,
to kill it with my tomahawk. These ri p
tiles, as belnre observed,especially’ in stony
grounds, are very numerous ; the black
ones are short and thick, but the party col
oured ones are very long and large. I saw
many that would, I am certain, have mens
ured seven or eight feet in length. They
are not, however, considered by Ihe Indi
ans so poisonous as the former ; fcut from
the distance they are able to strike, and
the great depth of the wounds they inflict,
they are much the most to be dreaded.—
They never attack till after they have
alarmed the object of their fears, and on
account of this magnanimity of character,
the Indians very seldom destroy them. In
deed, so much do they esteem them for
this trait, that I havs known several In
stances in which the occupants of a wig
wam have temporarily resigned its use
to one of these visitants who had given
due notice of his arrival. The regard the
Indians have for this snake has been illibe
rally construed into an idolatrous venera
tion, which is far from being the case.—
Bravery, generosity and magnanimity form
the most important traits in Ihe character
of the warriour ; and the practice of these
qualities is ranch more strictly inculcaled in
early life, and observed in maturer years,
by them, than are the commands of the
Decalogue by (he respective sects, which
profess to believe in and obey them. It is
from impressions arising from these sources,
that the Indian, surrounded by his most bit
ter enemies, and the implements of cruel
and vindictive torture, derives his consola
tion, and is enabled, when put to the most
severe trials and excruciating pains, to bear
them without complaint. Nay more, to
scorn the feeble efforts of his enemies to
make him swerve from this character, and
to despise death, unequivocally approach
ing in its most terrifick form. The same
impressions teach him to respect those who
also possess them, even though such should
be his most implacable and deadly foes.
Hence is derived the respect they show the
rattlesnake; whose character, as before
observed, they have construed into a resem
blance to these qualities; and I can assure
my readers, as far as my knowledge ex
tends, whatever other people and nations
may do, that the Indians adore and worship
only the Great Spirit.
‘‘ In the solitary and roving manner be
fore noticed, L.passed several moons on a
number of streams, which flowed into White
river. This led me to an acquaintance with
the best haunts for game, which this dis
trict of country afforded ; and latterly I bad
employed a considerable portion of my time
in making preparations, with a view, when
the proper season arrived, to employ my
self in collecting furs. I had constructed
several falls and blinds in the vicinity of
the beaver houses, and wa3 one morning
occupied in this manner, when, to ny sur
prise and regret, I discovered some white
people approaching me. From their dress
and equipments 1 knew them to be huntei;?,
and therefore apprehended nothing from
them ; though they were nevertheless un
welcome visitants, and I felt much distres
sed at having my haunts encroached on, and
my solitude interrupted, especially by white
people. 1 received them rather cautiously
and cavalierly ; but on being addressed by
one of them named Levous, in a cotnplai
sant and friendly manner, and that too in
the Osage language, my condndt and feel
ings underwent a total and instant revolu
tion, and 1 actually danced for joy.”
