THE SOUL.— By Montgomery,
What is the thing of highest price
> The whole creation round ?
—That which was lost in Paradise,
—That which in Christ was found—
The soul of Man—Jehovah's breath,
That keeps two worlds at strife;
Hell moves beneath to work its death,
Heaven stoops to give it life.
GoJ to reclaim it did not spare
liis.well beloved Son;
Jesus to save it deign'd to bear
The sins of all in one ;
The Holy Spirit seal’d the plan,
And pledg’d the blood divine,
To ransom every soul of man ;
That price was paid for mine !
And is this treasure borne below,
In earthen vessels frail!
Can none its ntniost value know,
Till flesh and spirit fail *
Then let us gather roudd the Cross,
That knowledge to obtain,
Not by the soul's eternal loss,
But everlasting gain,
■
_ MISCELLANY.
THR DESTRUCTION OF PEIYPStOT FALL.
The Androscoggin river issues from a
chain of lakes in the North Western pari of
the State ofMaine, bearing the same rela
tion to its stream as do the inland seas of
our Canadian boundary, to the majestick
stream of the Si. Lawrence. Seeking a
passage to the ocean, it pours out in a di
reclion towards the west. Then it turns
south, and pursues a direct course till it
meets a mountain barrier, when it again
changes its channel, flowing eastward for
the distance of nearly fifty miles, between
the ranges of bills which close down upon
its path, leaving only space enough tor the
stream and the interval. At length it finds
an outlet among the mountains, anil after
traversing a long extent of country an*!
Scattering fertility along its banks, Joins its
tributary waters to those of the sea. But
ihis circuitous Course is impeded by many
obstructions. Near the pleasant village of
tewiston, the waters are precipitated over
a mass of rncks, stretched across the chan
net. They do not rush in one broad and
unbroken sheet over the ledges, but bv
tumbling from ledge to ledge, are dashed
into foatn, and rainbows are painted on the
spray risiog from their commotion. Here
was a scene fff remarkable desolation to the
savages, and this ihe spot of the entire des
truction ol a once flourishing nation.
The Rockemego tribe, (if we do’ not
misremember the name) were formerly
settled many miles above these falls. The
site of (heir settlement was chosen with ad
mirable taste and judgment. The vrids
receded from the margin of the river,
and spread into a rich and beautiful inter
val. The fertility of the alluvial soil, ex
hausted by the luxuriant growth of the
maize, was restored and revived by the de
posits of the annual floods. The stream
gliding tranquilly by, with clear and open
current, supplied with food those w hose
wigwams were on its borders. The rude
fcipletnenis of agriculture, the vessels of
culinary art, and the bones of the former
tenants and owners of the land, are fre
qnently disinterred in the places of their an
cient habitation. In this beautiful situation
the tribe was established. Remote from
the scene of lhat warfare waged by their
couutrymen-ugainst the white intruders in
the eastern country, they had shared little
in the adventures of (he contest, and had
escaped from its devastating effects. Their
strength was reserved for an enterprise
destined to be fatal in its termination.
The irritation that prevailed among the
red men, and prompted them to dig up the
war hatchet, had extended to the warriors
of this retired clan. About the year 1688.
an expedition was projected against the vil
lage of Brunswick, tbeu in its infancy. Ap
prised of its feeble and almost defenceless
state, the: savages justly expected that it
Would faH an easy prey to their overpower
ing force. To the keen desire of revenge
was added the hope of rich plunder, and so
iiym was theircondndence, that they resolv
ed to abandon their own settlement while
they paid a bloody visit to the whites. Af
ter celebrating, according to the olden cus
tom, the rites to propitiate the malignant
deities they worshipped, they embarked
themselves and their families in their ca
noes. Their fortune and their simple riches
were deposited in places of safety and con
cealmeut, and the whole tribe were floated
down the stream. The shadows of eve
ning fell upon the river before they arrived
a* the Falls. They sent (woof the cotnpa
ny forward to kindle fires on the shore jnst
above the rocks, that (hey might rest during
the night, to recruit they- strength for the
morning work of destruction. From mis
fake, or treachery, or some untold reason,
were lighted below, and the blaze
gleamed up among the pines at the foot of
the descent. The fleet came on, and, de
ceived by the stgoal, the warriors were car
ried into the swift current,where no human
power could save before the error was dis
covered. A resistless tide bore them on
warJ, and they had scarce time to raise the
death song, before the fearless warriors
and the timid females, the young and the
o|d, the strong and the weak, were hurled
over the cataract. The pride and popula
tion of the whole tribe perished from exis
tence, and the cries of agony were lost in
the oproar of the waters. The lifeless
comer of the destroyers were borne an the
waves of their native river by that town
they had devoted to the spoil and to the I
flames, and its inhabitants had abundant
cause of gratitude to that overruling Provi- 1
deuce which had interposed to preserve l
them from murder or from a hopeless cap-<
tisity. Os all who went forth with the cer
tainty of snccese, save the two who occa
sioned the disaster, cone escaped to tell the
tale of min.
The reverend historians of the period
have not given any account of this event
in their annals, tl rests upon the authority
of traditions, preserved in the neigbourhood
of its occurrence; and if any fact can be
established by the multitude of those wbo
testify to its truth, or confirmed by corrobo
rating evidence, this may be received as
certain.
On the hills near the falls there once
were large and populous settlements.—
These were surprised and exterminated by
the English soldiers. On the field of slaugh
ter the bones of this slain are often ploughed
up, and military implements of curioos
workmanship, rusted and broken, are fre
qoently discovered. The marks of fires of
their camps are still visible, and shells, the
remains of former feasts, are strewed
around.— Nat. JEgis.
FUBLICK EXECUTIONS.
Most men lake exquisite delight in seeing other
people hanged: in all countries, curious and eager
multitudes gather and press around the gallows to
behold a fellow creature perish for his sins. The
following incident, which happened in 1778, in
the New Hampshire Grants, now Vermont, illus
trates our remark:
One David Redding was convicted of treasona
ble practices, and sentenced to be executed od
the 4th of June of that year. The curiositv,
which, not much to the honour of human nature,
has ever been manifested on such occasions, was
on this greatly heightened by the fact, that a pub
lick execution had never been witnessed in Ver
mont. To this curiosity was added the strong
leeling of indignation which such a crime was
calculated to excite at that period. Under the
influence of these leelings, a vast multitude col
lected to witness (he execution. In the mean
time, however, the harried counsel had discover
ed an important defect in the proceedings. Red
ding had been tried by a jury of six, only; and
it was very unfortunately discovered that this
was contrary to the common law of Great Bri
tain, which required the verdict of twelve. Ap
plication was immediately made to the Governor
and Council for a reprieve uufil anew trial could
hehad. The reprieve was granted at the moment
the anxious throng were collecting to witness the
execution.
With such a multitude, and on such an occa
sion, it was in vain to reason, or talk of the rights
ot Englishmen. They had pronounced the cul
prit guilty, and were not in a condition to learn
upon what principle the verdict of the whole com
munili/ could be set aside with so little ceremo
ny. While they were agitated with mingled
emotions of disappointment and indignation,
Ethan Mm, suddenly pressing through the
crowd, ascended a stump, and, waving his hat,
exclaiming, attention the whole proceeded to
announce the reasons which produced the re
prieve, advised the multitude to depart peaceably
to their habitations, and return on the day fixed
for the exeentiofi, in the act of the Governor and
Council, adding with an oath, “ Vo* shall see
somebody hung at all e\ents j for, if Redding is
not then hung, I will be hung myself!”
Upogjhis assurance the uproar ceased, and the
multitude dispersed.
Redding was again tried on the 9ih of June,
and executed on the 11th.
The foregoing anecdote has been often related
by those who were eye-witnessrt of the scene,
and accords too well with the spirit of the times,
and the well known character of Ethan Allen, to’
leave a doubt of its authenticity.
ANECDOTES OF FRANKLIN.
From Blackwood's Edingburgh Magazine.
We happen to know something of the Doctor’s
determination, in two cases; both growing out of
the same event, where the natural temper of the
man broke out—blazed up, like a smothered file—
became visible, as it were, all at once, in spite of
himself. Some time in the year 1767, or 8, he
was in this country, acting as agent for some of
our transatlastick possessions. The troubles had
already begun there. One day he went before
the Privy Council, as agent, with a petition from
the Assembly of Massachusetts ; or, more care
fully speaking—one day, when a petition from
the Provincial Assembly of Massachusetts Bay,
already presented by him, was taken up. He
was treated with great iudignity—insulted—gross
ly abused, by the Solicitor General, Wedder
bourne. He bore it, without any sign of emotion.
All eyes wi re upon him. No change, or shadow
of change, weut over his face. His friends were
amazed at his forbearance. They wondered at
his equanimity—they we.e almost ready to re
proach hiiu for it. Such untimely self-command
could only proceed from indifference to the great
cause—or so they thought—frdm a strange moral
insensibility. On his way from the place of hu- i
miliation, they gathered about him. He stopped
—he stood still—his manner—look voice were
those of a man, who has quietly concentrated ev
ery thought, every hope, under heaven—all his
energies--upon a ‘ingle point.—” His MASTER
shall pat for it,” said he, and passed on.
The other circumstance grew out of the same
afiTiir.. Asa mark of especial consideration tor i
the Privy Council, the Doctor appeared before
them, in a superb dress, after the court fashion of
the time. He wove it bravely—he looked uncom
monly well in it. Finding, hawever, that his
courtly garb, thus chosen, thus worn, bad been of
no avail, as a tefuge or shelter, to him; that, on
the contrary, it had only made him a better mark,
and exasperated his adversary ; that, worse than
all, his considerate loyalty had beeu misunder
stood for a piece of dirty adulation ; or, worse
yet,—for a piece of wretched foppery—he went,
on leaving the Council, straightway home; threw
the dre6s aside; and, from that hour, never wore
it again , till the day on which he went with full
power, into the court of the Bourbons, lo sign the
treaty between France and America—the United
States of America ! What must have been his
feelings I —That paper gave the death blow to
British dominion over the Western world. It was
done—the threat was accomplished: Franklin
was at peace with himself; the majesty of Great
Britain had paid— bitterly puid, for the insolence
of the Solicitor General.
Blue Slocking. —lt was the fashion in London,
in 1781, for ladle* to have evening assemblies,
where they might participate in conversation
with literary and ingenious men. These societies
acquired the name of Blue Slocking Clubs—an
appellation which has been applied to pedantick
females ever since. It arose from the custom of
Mr.Slillingfleet, one of the most eminent mem
bers, wearing blue stockings. Such was the ex
cellence of hit conversation that his absence was
so great a loss that it used to be said—we can do
nothing without the Blue Stockings—and thus
the title was gradually established. Iu Hannah
Moore’s poem Bus buu, many of the most con
spicuous members are mentioned.
! Different colours of Mounting. —ln Europe,
( black is generally used, because it represents
darkness, unto which death ie like, as it is a pri
1 vation of life. In China, white is used, because)
i they hope that the dead are its heaven, the place!
ofpurily. In Egypt, yellow is used because it 1
represent* the decaying of trees and flowers,
which become yellow as they die away. In Ethi
opia, brown is used, because it denotes the colour
of the earth front whence we came, and to which
we return. In some patts of Turkey blue is used,j
because it represents the sky, where they hope
the dead are gone \ but in other parts, purple and *
violet, because being a mixture of black ond blue, |
it represents, as it were, sorrow on the one side !
and hope ou the other.
London, March 28.
The following is from the log-book of the Ac
cession, (Roddam, master) which arrived at Ply
mouth on 1 uesdsy bound to Hamburgh, last from
Bahia, to which city she bad put back to land !
forty-two African slaves, rescued from a slave j
ship, nfctne unknown, which the Accession had
fallen in with about 500 miles from the coast of
Brasil. The ship was on her beam ends, surroun
ded by innumerable sharks, and ou nearing her,
discovered a number of Africans on the forecastle,
being the only part of the ship above water; the
men succeeded in getting thirty of them safe on
board the Accession, aud they made signs that
the sun had set three times since the vessel had
been upset. By considerable exertion, the master
of the Accession cut a hole in the broadside of the
vessel, and discovered in the hold a mass of dead
negroes and casks of palm oil, and to his utter as
tonishment, had the happiness of rescuing ten
more miserable Africans.
The Claremont Spectator, printed at Clare
mont, in the State of Ohio, has been discontinued.
The editor announces its exit at follows :
“ With the present number terminates the brief
existence of the Claremont Spectator.
“Out! out! brief candle—
Life’s but a walking shadow—a poor player
That struts aud frets his hour upon the stage,
And then—ip heard no more.”
From the N. V. National Advocate.
A gentleman of our acquaintance, who has long
been engaged in the enterprise, has completely
succeeded in producing a superior Quality if that
most useful and impurtant article, Cast-Steel.
This is made by anew process, on principles dis
covered by our friend, at a much cheaper r.,le,
than by any process hitherto known. A specimen
of this steel, of a quality certainly as good as any
ever imported, is now in our possession, and we
learn that the rights of the discoverer are duly
secured.
