LINES
IVrilten by a British Officer'on returning to England
after an absence of twenty years.
I came, but but they haJ passed away,
Tiie fair in form, the pure in mind,
And like a stricken deer astray,
Where all are strange, and none a e kind
Kind to the worn—the wearied soul,
That pants and struggles for repose,
O ! that my steps had reached th gaol
Where earthly sighs and sorrows close.
Years have passed o’er me like a dream
That leaves no trace on memory’s page;
I look around me, and 1 seem
Some relic of a former age.
Alone, as in a stranger ciime,
Where stranger voices meet my ear,
I mark the lagging course of time,
Without a wish—a hope—a fear.
Yet I had hopes, and they are fled ;
And I had fears—were all too true—
And wishes too, but they arc dead—
And vi hat have I wi h life to do ?
’Tis but to bear a weary load
I may not, dare not cast away,
And sigh for one small still abode.
Where I may sleep as well as they.
As they, the loveliest of their race,
Whose glassy tombs my sorrows steep,
Whose worth my sou’ delights to trace,
Whose very loss ’tis sweet to weep.
To weep beneath the silent moon,
With none to chide—to hear—to sec—
Life can bestow no dearer boon,
On one whom death disclaims to be free.
I leave a world that knows me not,
To hold communion with the dead ;
And fancy consecrates the suot
Where fancy’s choicest dreams are shed.
I see each shade, all silvery white,
I hear each spirit’s melting sigh,
I turn to clasp those forms of light,
And the pale morning chills my eye.
But soon the last pale morn shall rise,
The lamp of lif beams feebly now:
And stranger hands shall close these eyes,
And soothe this damp and dewy brow.
Unknown l lived—so let me cite;
No stone or monumental cross
Tell where hi? mouldering ashes lie,
Who sought for gold, and found it dross.
THE THUNDER STORM.
BY GEORGE D. PREITICE.
I was never a man of feeble eourage. There
are few scenes either of human or elementa
ry strife, upon which I have not looked with
an eve of daring. I have stood in the front
of battle, when swords were gleaming and
circling around me like fiery serpents of the
air—l have sat on the mountain pinnacle,
when the whirlwind was rending its oaks
from their rocky clefts and scattering them
piece meal to the clouds—l have seen these
things with a swelling soul, that knew not,
that recked not of danger—but there is some
thing in the thunder’s voice that makes me
tremble like a child. I have tried to over
come this unmanly weakness; I have called
pride to my aid ; I have sought for moral
courage in the lessons of philosophy—but all
in vain; at-the first low moaning of Ihe dis
tant cloud, my heart shrinks, quivers, and
dies within me.
My involuntary dread of thunder had its
origin in an incident that occurred when I
was a child often years. I had a little cousin, a
girl of the same age with myself, who was the
constant companion of my childhood. Strange
that alter the ! apse of almost a score of years
that countenance should be so familiar to me.
I can still sec the bright young creature, iter
large eve flashing like a beautiful gem, her
free locks streaming as in joy upon the sun
rue gale ; tjnd her cheek glowing like a ruby
through a wreath of transparent snow. Her
voice had the melody and the joyousness of
a bird; and, when she bounded over the
wooded hill or the fresh green valley, shouting
a glad answer to every voice of nature, and
clapping her hands in the very ecstacv of
young existence, she looked as if breaking
away like a freed nightingale from the earth,
and going off where all things were beautiful
and happy like her.
It was a morning in the middle of August.
The little girl had been passing some days at
my father’s house, and she was now to return
home. Her path lay across the fields, and
I gladly became the companion of her walk.
I never knew a summer morning more beau
tiful and still. Only one little cloud was visi
ble, and that seemed as pure and white, and
peaceful, as if it had been the incense smoke
of some burning censer of the skies. The
leaves hung siient in the woods, the waters
of the bay had forgotton their undulations,
the flowers were bending their heads, as if
dreaming of ihe rainbow and the dew, and
the whole atmosphere was of such soft and
luxurious sweetness, that it seemed ‘a cloud
of roses, scattered down by the hand of a
Peri’ from the far off’ gardens of Paradise.
Tiie green earth and tiie blue sea lay abroad
in their boundlessness, and the peaceful sky
bent over and'blessed them. The little crea
ture at my side was in a delirium of happi
ness,, and her clear sweet voice came ringing
upon the air as often as she heard the notes
of a favorite bird or some strange and lonely
flmver in her wanderings. The unbroken and
almost supernatural tranquility continued un
til nearly noon. Then Ibr the first time the
indications ol an approaching tempest were
manifest. Over the summit of a mountain,
at the distance of about a mile, thejblds of a
dark cloud became suddenly visible, and at
the same instant, a hallow roar came down
upon the winds, as if it had been the sound
of waves in a rocky cavern. The cloud roll
ed out like a banner-fold upon the air, but
still the atmosphere was calm and leaves as
motionless as before, and there was not even
a quiver upon the sleeping waters to tell of
the coming hurricane.
To escape the tempest was impossible. As
the only resort, we fled to an oak that stood at
the foot of a tall and ragged precipice. There
we remained and crazed almost breathlessly
upon the clouds, marshaling themselves like
bloody giants in the sky. The thunder was
not frequent, but every burst was so frightful
that the young creature who stood by me
shut her eyes convulsively, clung with des
perate strength to my arm, and shrieked as
if her heart would break. A few minutes
and the storm was upon us. During the
height of its fury, the little girl silently raised
her linger to the precipice that towered above
us. As I looked up, an amethystine flame
was quivering upon its grey peaks, and the
next moment the clouds opened, the rock-:
toileted to their foundations, a roar like a
groan of the universe filled the air, and I felt
myself blinded and thrown I knew not whith
er. Ho iv long I remained insensible I can
not tell, but when consciousness returned, the
violence of the tempest was abating, the roar
of the winds was dying in the distant tree
tops, and the deep tones of the cloud were
coming in fainter and fainter murmers from
the eastern hills. *
I arose and looked tremblingly and almost
j deliriously around me. She was there, the
| dear idol of my infant love, stretched out up*
ion the wet green earth. After a moment of
irresolution, I went up and looked upon her.
The handkerchief upon her neck was slight
lv rent, and a single dark spot upon her
bosom told where the pathway of death had
been. At first I clasped her to mv breast
with a cry of agony and then laid her down
and gazed into Iter face, almost with a feeling
of*calmness. Her bright dishevelled ringlets j
* clustered sweetly around her brow; the look :
<ri terror had laded from her lips and an in
: lam smile vva3 pictured most beautifully there;
the red rose tinge upon her cheek was as
lovely as in life; and, as I pressed it to my
? own, the fountain of tears was opened, and i
wept as if my head were waters. I have
but a dim recollection of what followed. I
only know that I remained weeping and mo
tionless till the corning on of twilight, and
that I was taken tenderly by the hand, and
led away where I saw the countenances of
parents and sisters.
Many years have gone bv upon their wings
ot light and shadow, but the tjeenes I have
portrayed still come over me, at times with
terrible distinctness. The old oak yet stands
at the base of the precipice, but its limbs are
black and dead ; and its hollow trunk look
ing upwards to the sky as if ‘ calling to the
clouds fiir drink,’ is an emblem of rapid and
noiseless decay. A year ago I visited the
spot, and the thoughts of by gone years came
mournfully back to me, thoughts of the little
innocent being who fell by my side like some
beautiful tree of spring rent up by the whirl
wind in the midst of its blossoming. But I
rernembeied, and oh, there was joy in ihe
memory, 1 hat she had gone where uo light
ning slumbers in the folds of the rainbow
cloud, and where the sun-lit waters are
never broken by the storm-breath of Omnip
otence.
SARMINS BY FATHER TOM MAGUIRE.
A series of interesting articles, under the
general head of ‘ Recollections of our lasi
Parish Minister,’ is in the course of publica
tion in Frazer’s (London) Magazine. In the
November number of that miscellany, we find
the two ‘ Sarmins ’ annexed, which are given
as specimens of a certain order of Pulpit Elo
quence.

to the fore, ('l'ini Dunn, lave off - yer feneerin’

I suppose you think I’m goin’ to let yez off
wtd an azy pinance, alther all yer crimes and
misdemaneors ! You flock to me like chick

‘ In troth 4 your riverence may say that.’

‘No fear in life, Barney; spake up. It’s
yerself that owns the dacent woman.’
‘ Axin’ yer pardon, docthor, I was just

‘ Barney, you’re a thrue Christian ! You’re
a right rasoner ! Always folly your furst in

‘ Well, my dear bretheren, it frets me to
my heart to see all my prayers an’ exertions
for your good thrown to the dogs. (Fagin,

‘Right, Fagin: keep him in thrainin’—
hard oaten bread, and regular exercise. But,
pardon me, my friends, Pm digestin’. It frets
me, I was savin’, to find all mv throuble on
your account —that is, on account ov yer poor
sinful sowls—of no manner o’ use in the world

whin I pray, an’ fast, an’ ware the flesh off
my bones wid the dint of piety, an’ whin I
give you absolution for yer crimes, that ahso

which you do not requite in this world (mind
me,) you must make restitution—av, an’
dhreadful restitution—in the next. An’ if|
you should die athout repentin’, or lavin’

‘Och, whillelu ! Father Tom, jewel, pnv

‘ Pray for yez ! Oh ! you miserable herd !
nrnn’t lat it every blessed hour? Do I taste

But remember, I tell you, if you continue to
chate the Yargin—for it’s her, not me, you’re

Think on the tormints of hell-fire, to which
the flames of purgathory are no more than

SEMINOLE ANECDOTES.
The intrepid bravery and tender affections
of one ol these Indians, are strikingly verifi
ed in the following anecdote :—Having taken
refuge for some time in the city of St. Au
gustine, and got the name of Peter, he re
moved his residence to St. Anastasia’s Island,
which makes the harbor of the city, was em
ployed 33 a hunter bv Mr. Fish, an English
gentleman, who owned that Island, and who
gave it celebrity by ihe culture of the sweet
Orange. Peter being absent, a party of his
enemies crossed the river, surprised his hab
itation, and murdered his wife and two chil
dren. On his return he did not hesitate a
moment n the course to pursue ; he fastened
up his house containing the dead, repaired to
Mr. Fish s dwelling near by, to borrow a gun
that Mr. Fish had made with a large bore,
expressly for shooting ducks in large flocks.
In this Peter put an uncommon load of buck
shot, and getting into his canoe, proceeded
up the river, all alone, about six miles to a
creek on the main, as though instinct had
pointed out to him the wav they went. He
liad not ascended the creek far, when a dis
tant smoke, curling above the forest, apprised
him of an Indian camp. He landed, and
taking his course through the woods of a hos
tile country, discovered four Indian men sit
ting on a log side by side, and a fifth near by
employed in cooking. He circled round so
as to bring the four in a range, clept up close,
fired, threw down his gun, and rushed up
with his tomahawk. The report, the fall of
four Indians, and Peter’s presence, armed with
such a weapon, and not very pleasant, coun
tenance, were so sudden and impressive, that
the one who was cooking neither attempted
defence or flight, and became an easv prav
to vengeance. By this time lie found that
one of the fallen was but wounded, and was
endeavoring to reach his arms, but Peter had
the advantage in being already armed. On
searching, he found the scalps of his wife and
children stretched and hung out to dry, which
he brought off, with several of his
property they had stolen, some of their arms,
and the scalps of the five Indians he had
killed—the greatest of all tropics, in the con
ceptions of the Indians—returned home and
buried his wife and children the same even
ing, and literally pined to death over their
grave. This anecdote I i;ad from Mr. Fish,
who ponted out to me poor Peter’s grave.
The following instances of Seminole hero
ism, however, are worth mentioning. In a
skirmish between a party of Spanish troops
and Indians, I ohopalmy, a chief, was severe
ly wounded by a load of buck shot. He
goes over it for some years, but becoming
disordered from the effects of his wounds,
and it being the opinion of his friends that it
would at length occasion his death, he ex
claimed, ‘lt not lie said that I was killed
by a Spaniard ! —and deliberately hung him
self.
Penhnjo, a voting man of respectable stand
ing, had for years sought, retaliation of an
other Indian, who had killed one of Ids near
relations—a forfeit, invariably claimed in
such cases, whether death had been acciden
tally inflicted, or by design, and the oon-ob
tninance of which entails disgrace on the
| family of the deceased, while it disturbs his
; spirit in ihe distant country to which it has
! gone. Penhajo had male several long trav
i els in vain ; he could procure no tidings of
: his enemy. His mother became impatient,
■ and upbraided him in public with want of
j energy in seeking the tribute due 10 her de-
I parted spirit, and her feelings. She called
l him an old woman—the most indignant epi
; thet of the Indian language that can he ap
i plied to a warrior; (the harangues of old
! women command great respect.’ and have
! much influence on youth.) Penhajo, having
j coolly heard her through, brought out his rifle,
| and replied that there was nothing now left
for him hut to prove, by sending his spirit to
keep company with the deceased, that he had
done all he could, and that he was not an old
1 woman, but a warrior; he should, therefore,
leave to someone of his younger, but more
fortunate relatives, to seek tlie revenge fate
had denied to him. And immediately putting
his toe to the trigger, launched himself into
eternity.
During the invasion of East Florida, in
ISl‘2, while the city of St. Augustine was
besieged, the enemy marched to the reduc
tion ol the Indian settlements of Alachub,
and had entrenched himself in that section of
the province. King Payne called a council
ot his principal warriors, but finding that dis
may at their hopeless situation pervaded the
whole, lie thus addressed them— ‘ It is true,
we have no assistance to expect from the
Spaniards, no quarter from the enemy, who
is too powerful for us to withstand; such,
then, as wish to move off and abandon iheir
all, may do so, and ought to do so quickly.
But it shall not be said that the son of Secof
fee deserted his father’s grave. To-morrow
1 will attack their entrenchment with such
as may follow me. I may tall, hut not with
disgrace. About one hundred followed him
to the field; they assailed the enemy three
times, and were as often beaten back; and
finding ihat he could not bring on his men the
fourth time, he rode up and down within the
fire of the enemy, courting support from one
side, or death from the other, and in tliisaet
was shot from his horse. His men then rush
ed to the recovery of his body, which they
effected and fled precipitately.— St. Augus

Description of the Ligamentum Dentist. —
By Paul Goddard, M. D.—A few months
since, an advertisement appeared in the Phil
adelphia newspapers, stating that a dentist,
by the name of Humphreys, possessed the
power of extracting teetli with very little
force or pain, and by a mode peculiar to him
self. Conceiving that he possessed
an improved form of forceps, or some similar
instrument, it excited but little attention on
my part. But when I was informed, bv Mr.
Boren, that another dentist, and the origin
al discoverer of the new method, (Dr. Cald
well,) had taken out a very difficult tooth for
him, withont pain, and that the new method
consisted in cutting with a penknife some
thing which held the tooth in its place, I re
solved to scrutinize the matter closely.
Accordingly, I sought Dr. Caldwell’s ac
quaintance, but found him determined to
keep his discovery a secret. I then procur
ed a jaw, and making a very careful dissec
tion, satisfied myself of the existence of a
ligament. ‘I his consists of short, strong,
ligamentous fibres existing on one side of the
human tooth only, and unites the neck of the
took to the edge of the alveolar process.
I he fibres arise from the edge of the alveolus
between the teeth, and proceeding forwards
in the case of the molars, and inwards in the
case of incisors, is inserted into the neck of
the tooth, not quite the sixteenth of an inch
Irom the edge of the enamel. Its size (and
of course its strength) varies with the class
of teeth to which it belongs. In the incisores,
it is a narrow tape-like hand—in ihe cuspi
dati and bienspidati, it is wider, and in the
molares, it is as wide ns the neck of the tooth
and very r-trong. A few of its fibress are
blended with the gum in its neighborhood,
and thus we may account for its occasional
laceration when a tooth is extracted. Its ad
hesion to the tooth is stronger than to the
jaw, and, if not cut, it is commonly dragged
out with the tooth. Its ligamenlmis charac
ter is very distinct, the fibres being white and
shining, like tendon.
After making ibis dissection, I applied to
Dr. Caldwell to remove a large molar, which
had given me great trouble for two or three
years, and although my teeth had always
yielded with difficulty, he removed the one in
question with great ease and very little pain.
I have seen several teeth which were ex
tracted by him, and am convinced that he
possesses a tact in severing ihe ligament and
removing the tooth which will give him pre
eminent success.
Young men beware.— We heard of an old
gentleman onr who had three daughters, a'!
o! ivhom were marriageable*. A you nor buck
went a wooing the youngest, and finally got
her consent to take him ‘ for better or for
wo-se.’ Upon application to the old fellmv
for his consent, he flew’ into a violent rage,
declaring that no man should ‘pick his
daughters in that way,’ and if he wished to
get into his family, he might marry the old
est, or leave thg house forthwith.— Carolina
Gazette.
Pretty Good. —A western editor declares
that some of the young womm who pass !i
village in the nik*, on the river, are perf-ct
divinities. He means, says a northern paper,
that they are ark-angels.
