When Will The Chj^m CloseP
A storm of Avar and its earthquake shock
Has broke, till the hills eternal rock—
And across the land from side to side
Is the rift of a chasm deep and wide.
When will the chasm close. 1 - Ah when/
'Tis the grave of a nation's bravest men.
Like curtius of old, our truest and best.
Hurled themselves in its depths at our land’s
behest—
A torient of blood and an ocean of tears
Have flowed through that chasm for twenty
years;
Its sides by Time’s attrition are Avorn;
its Avails are ragged, scarred, and torn;
But still the chasm; deep and wide,
Is thro’ the land from side to side.
When will the chasm close? not until
He who said unto Gallilee’s wave “be still
Shall have eased the pain in ten thousand
hearts
That are aching from sorrow’s rankling darts,
And the tumult calmed in thousands more
Whose throbs witn humbled pride are sore—
Not till we forget the tears we’ve shed,
Not til! Ave forget our coflluless dead.
Tis the grave of countless futile prayers,
'Tis the gra\-e of unnumbered bitter tears,
H hen the last drawn sighs of a nation, dead,
Rang the knell of our hopes, forever sped.
When will the chasm close* when the last
Who rode on the waves of battles past—
Have heard the summons that all obey
And have met in the glare of the sunless day.
A glance from the eyes that war-flre flashed,
A grasp of the hands that the sabers clashed,
A greeting at dawn of the endless day
And the chasm is closed for ever and aye.

THE HISTORIC ISLAND ON THE
OHIO RIVER.
Aaron Burr's Plot that Brought Ruin
and Disgrace—The Strange Craft
Floating Down the Silvery-
Current of the Ohio—The
Duel—The Flight and
Interesting Ad
ventures.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
< hie beautiful May morning seven
ty-one years ago, a strange craft push
ed out from Pittsburg and floated
flown the silvery current of the Ohio.
Jc was primitive and capacious
< nough for an ark, and, as there was
no propelling power, had the appear
ance of being intended for the high tide
of undivided waters. At this season
of the year the swollen waters of the
< >hio, fed by hundreds of streams that
dashed impetuously down from the
surrounding hills, bore whatever was
entrusted to its bosom eight miles an
hour, and but for the innumerable
bends would have been a resistless
torrent. This river conveyance was
00x14. The boat itself ay as similar to
the flatboats of our day only it had
a gunwale four or five feet about its
sides. In the center of the boat, in
stead of the rude covering that was
used to protect the emigrants and
their household goods troin wind
and weather as they floated down this
great river and its tributaries to the
sunny valleys which were still cover
ed with primeval forests, it had a
veritable house with all the essentials
of home-comforts, a kitchen Avitli a
brick fireplace, a dining room and
t avo sleeping apartments. The roof of
this domicile was constructed to serve
this most auspicious time to strike
the blow that would open the way to
honor and to glory.
This dream of greatness stood out
before the mind of the disappointed
politican in marked contrast to the
shadoAvs that hung over him, that
terrible duel with Hamilton, the
flight and exile from New York and
NeAv Jersey, where the clamors Avere
both deep and loud for revenge for
Hamilton’s untimely death by the
hanging of the vice president. The
ovations that were given this dis
tinguished politician in the south
ern cities during that past event
ful summer had helped to assure
him that there would be amongst
his folloAvers in this new enterprise a
large number of persons in high posi
tions, men of wealth and culture; who
would gladly and joyfully follow the
fortunes of Aaron Burr. The pros
pect of war with Spain was groAving
less, but why need that make any dif
ference in his plans?
Secondly, he hoped in case
there should be no war between the
United States and Spain, to ascertain
the sentiments of the people of the
Avest on the subject of a separation
from the eastern states.
Should both these plans be abor
tive he entertained the idea of pur
chasing a large tract of land of Baron
Bastrop, situated in the territory of
Louisiana, on the Ouachitau river.
Here he might at least establish a
colony of choice spirits where he
could have about him a society remar
kable for refinement in social and civil
life.
The boat which bore this great man
—for vice presidents were feAV then—
halted at the thriving little town of
Marietta, at the.mouth of ths Musk
ingum. This toAvn had been largely
settled by patriots of the revolution,
men whose valor and deA-otion to the
cause of liberty had won them a wor-
thy place in the history of the na
tion.
Amongst many of the military chief
tains dueling Avas regarded as the only
honorable way to settle a difficulty
betAA-een gentlemen.
The enoryiity of Burr’s crime, out
side of Hamilton’s political friends,
was largely reserved for a later day.
It Avas the political power that feared
the fascination of his presence, the
eloquence of liis tongue, that ostraci
sed Aaron Burr and made him even
tually remembered as the Cataline of
tlie west.
At Marietta as it was noised abroad
that the ex-vice president had landed,
the most prominent persons came out
to welcome the distinguished guest
and offer him hospitalities. Burr had
called, he said, to pay his respects to a
feAv friends, and to see the ancient for
tifications near Campus Martius,
wonderful reports of which had been
carried to the east. During his brief
stay at Marietta, he was told again
the romantic story of the lordly
owner of Blennerhassett’s island,
Avhich was only a few miles beloAv the
toAA'n. That same afternoon his float
ing house was moored at the lovely
spot which lias since been called the
American Alhambra. All that wealth
and culture could accomplish in eight
years had made this lovely spot the
most beautiful and pretentious
domain west of the Alleghanies; the
private residence had been fashioned
for a promenade deck, where its pas- after an old country style, with curved
sengers could sit and enjoy all the
shifting scenes of the wilderness
through which they were to pass. In
that early day the vine-clad hills of
southern Ohio were still covered and
croAviied with forests. The voyager
might pass hundreds of miles in his
floating house without hearing the
sound of the woodman’s ax or seeing
the smoke from the cabin of the
pioneer.
There was no longer any danger of
lurking tribes of Indians upon the
banks, for the strong arm of the gov
ernment had marked out the reserva
tions of the red men at the close of the
Indian war in the northwest territory.
Tlie few scattered villages along the
frontier Avere beginning to need their
block houses and strong palisades less
and less as the years went by.
This singular craft had been con
structed for the especial use of an
individual who had more warm
friends and more bitter enemies than
any other man in America—Aaron
Burr.
Colonel Burr had been for ten years
a prominent figure before the public.
At thirty-six he had won the highest
honors at tiie bar—a seat in the na
tional councils—and even been a com
petitor for the presidency itself with
Washington. Adams, Jefferson and
Clinton, and now, a decade later,
when lie has been for four year vice-
president of the United States, had
taken have of the senate and left that
august body in tears. When thous
ands were asking what will Aaron
Burr do next, he was quietly sailing
down the Ohio and planning what.
President Jefferson and all the Avise
councilors had talked of in case
war should rise with Spain
invasion into the rich territorv
of Mexico anti the Spanish pro
vinces. His dreams Avere not to ex
tend the jurisdiction of the United
States beyond the newlv acquired
territory of Louisiana.
This ex-vice-president was now
without a country; he felt himself, as
he really was, ostracised, where he
had aspired to the highest honor in
the gift of the people.
With his great ambition thwarted—
turning his eyes to the southwest, he
saAA- there the realization of his most
ambitious dreams of health and em
pire. The gold of the inexhaustible
mines that had flooded Europe would
enrich the adventurer who was bold
and daring enough to strike the first
blow and become the Caesar of the
neAv world. The priesthood was dis
affected and only waiting for the
drum to tap from the right man, who
Avould secure to the church the privi
leges denied bv the Spanish authori
ties. The pomp of mediaeval chivalry
and the splendors of the east could
be revived in this gorgeous realm.
More than this: here, 1,000 miles" be
yond the Mississippi, manv of the
disaffected in the stares who yearned
for something more to their taste than
the plain republic would seethe glitter
ing prize as the son of Esther Ed
wards saw it and hasten at his bidding
Aving, like those of the Ursuline con
vent on Euclid avenue, and it is said
to have had*the appearance of the
Moorish palaces of Andalusia to the
voyager down the river. The
extensive grounds around the
house were decked Avitli tasteful
shrubbery and interspersed with
showy flowers. Art and nature had
combined to fashion the most delight
ful walks and drives; orchards of
peach, apricots, quince and pear trees
extend along the exterior, while in
the middle space wound labyrinthine
walks skirted with flowering shrubs.
Beyond the beautiful grounds Avere
many acres of farming land already in
a high state of cultivation. When
Madame Blennerhasset saAv stran
gers in her grounds, she sent to offer
them the hospitalities of the mansion.
Burr retuiyied his card by the ser- i
vant, declining the invitation, and j
stating that curosity alone had promp- ;
ted him to land upon this favored |
spot. .
When the lady found that she Avas
honored by so distinguished an in- |
dividual as the ex-vice president she
Avas unusally importunate. Burr
with seeming reluctance finally yield- :
ed and remained several hours. Mr. t
Blennerhassett Avas from home. Could
the madame have foreseen but a
moiety of the unhappiness and misery
that was to come to all within her lit
tle Eden from this fascinating temp- j
ter. she Avould undoubtedly have pre- j
ferred that, the waters of the Ohio |
should Have swept her island home ;
out of existence before it became the j
rendezvous of men suspected of trea- !
son.
To understand the ruin of thik beau-
an ^tiful home one must know something
of tl»e antecedents of those who made
it what it was. Its owner, Her-
mon Blennerhassett, was from a
family not noble, but amongst the
most illustrious of the -Irish gentry.
He had been educated at Trinity col
lege, Dublin, and was called to the
bar at King’s Inns in 1790. He declin
ed entering upon his profession until
after he had made a tour upon the
continent.
Wherever he went the spirit of dis
content ..was abroad. England had
lost her American colonies. France
“had been raked with the whirlwind
of revolution,” and Ireland was just
passing through one of her periodical
awakenings.
“Strange and unforseen events were
crowding the annals of the world; the
established axioms of general polity
began to lose their weight amongst
nations, and governments, widely
wandering from the fundamental
principles of their oaati constitutions,
appeared carelessly traveling the
road to ruin.”
The young scholar saw all this and
yearned rather for the floAvery paths
of literature than the rugged way
that led through the bustle and hurri
cane of trying times up the path of
political preferment.
He chose rather to renounce the
hereditary honors of liis familv for
the secluded life of an ■ unpretending
republican.
So he disposed of the ancestral
estates, purchased at London an ex
tensive library and a philosophical
apparatus, and, with his young, in
telligent and beautiful wife, sailed for
the new world. The first few months
were spent at New York, studying
the topography of the country and
the character of its inhabitants. It
Avas decided to folloAv the tide of emi
gration to the great west, over the
Alleghenies. They reached Marietta
that* fall and were delighted Avith
the tone of the society of this new
settlement, and determined to locate
their future home in its vicinity. The
folloAving spring a portion of Backus
island, in the Ohio river, a couple of
miles beloAv Parkersburg, Avas pur
chased, and operations at once com
menced to clear enough of the ground
of its thick growth of timber for the
site of the future residence. Stores
were brought and laborers hired, and
the clearing Soon assumed definite
shape. In time the fair island blos
somed as the rose, and travelers upon
the Ohio spread the romantic story
of this almost enchanted isle, whose
OAA-ner had abandoned the pleasures of
Castle Conway for a home in the
secluded forests of America.
Another year rolls around, Avhen Ave
again find* Burr at the Island, this
time accompanied by his accomplish
ed daughter, Theodosia Alston.
The war Avith Spain AA as no longer
among the probabilities. Burr and
his confederates Avere planning their
Avestern expedition more vigorously
than ever before. The Island of Blen-
nerhassett became a rendezvous for
men engaged in the enterprise. In an
evil hour the happy family had listen
ed to the voice of ambition. The pa
trimony was fast Avasting away, and
Blennerhassett’s children might be
poor, the tempter had said. So the
great-hearted, unsuspecting Irishman
was led on step by step to embark all
his ready means in the purchase of
batteaux, provisions, and outfits for
this Utopia Avhich loomed up in the
distance.
Rumors of poAverful military associ
ations that extended from New York
to the gulf of Mexico began to circu
late freely. The president’s proclama
tion against such enterprises confirm
ed their existence. The Islands of
the Ohio being part of the state of
Virginia, those avJio Avere here expect
ed no interference from the Ohio mil
itia; but learning that Virginia troops
intended to take possession of the is
land next day, four of the boats Avere
hastily loaded and the thirty or forty
confederates embarked and made
their Avay down the river, leaA’ing
Mrs. Blennerhassett and her tAvo hoys
and several serA r ants to meet the
storm of the morroAA r . She was to
procure the family boat from Mariet-
ta and follow in a few days. The ex
pedition came while the lady Avas a-
Avav, broke into the Avine cellar and
drank themselves into vandals. Then
the Avork of destruction began. They
ranged the house, destroying and
disfiguring Avhere\ r er they Avent, tear
ing down costly drapery, firing rifle
bails through painted ceilings, break-
ingin pieces vases and mirrors. Then
they rushed about the grounds, de
stroying everything that came in
their Avay. In the midst of this riot
and destruction Madame Blennerhas-
sett returned.
Some young men on their Avay
doAvn the river to join the expedition
offered to take the disappointed lady
in their boat, an offer Avhich she glad
ly accepted, and in a fe\v hours turn
ed her eyes for the last time upon the
scene of long years of almost unalloy
ed happiness.
The arrest of Burr, his trial for trea
son, the verdict of not “guilty,” after
the court had been engaged in the in
vestigation for twenty-six days—a
verdict which his countrymen refused
to accept—followed. Eight months
after the arrest in Alabama, and six
after the commencement of his trial
in Richmond, Burr was once more
free, but his good name was by no
means restored. The indictments a-
gainst Blennerhassett and the others
were never prosecuted. The man
whom the country had once delight
ed to honor, the noAv notorious Aaron
Burr, fled from his native land under
the name of G. H. Edwards, and be
came an exile on foreign shores. Blen-
nerhassett realized how thoroughly
he had been deceived and draAA’n to
his ruin. After his discharge financial
ruin Avas inevitable; liis beautiful
home had been used as public proper
ty, the gardens had been destroyed
by the freebooters and the Hoods of
the Ohio, and a fire swept a\A’av the
mansion in Avhich his family had'spent
many happy years.
Once more he started a home in
Mississippi, hoping to retrieve his fall
en fortunes by the culture of cotton,
Avhich at that time commanded an
exhorbitant price. The Avar of 1812
dissipated all hopes of success in this
direction. One failure succeeded an
other. Twenty-five years after he
had sought America Avith bouyant
hopes and joyful anticipation, blessed
Avith a competency beyond his wants,
he sailed for Ireland. His fondest
hopes had perished, his fortune had
been lost, his health impaired, and
most bitter of all his remembered
misfortunes was the thought that he
was branded by public opinion with
the design of overthrowing the liberty
of the government which had drawn
him across the Atlantic in his happi
est davs.
