driven in my carriage for about two years.
He was then six years old, and about 16 hands
high--a natural trotter, but had been broke to
pace pretty well. He was brought to this
country from Tennessee, by Mr. Renshaw of
this county, and had supposed he had strayed
offtowards the Ohio river; but it is possible he
may have been stolen in that case, will give

- ss%@~s. S'-fs
BY the .9uthor Of the " Frontier aLasa.''
Wild was the night, and roaring wide,
aoli'd on the Delaware's stormy tide,
The drifting ice from side to side
Driving and crashing restlessly.
Then, through the wintry tempest's moan,
fiourlsh'd the swelling trumpet tone,
Their little banks the host unknown
Are launching forth impetuously.
OFT DER the food was heard the roar,
AS through the drift some barges bore
With Changing AK and crashing oar,
Bursting their way resistlessly.
For high the Chieftain's signal bright,
Blazes ahead, and who tonight
Would tamely lag behind that light
That leads to Death or Victory?
o what's this lonely martial pow'r,
That in this wild unwonted hour.
While darkness and while tempests low'r,
Puts forth so stern and fearlessly,
sIis Liberty's last hope below,
Through food and storm they seek the foe,
To strike the bravest, mightiest blow,
That e'er was struck for Victory.
This awful hour the die is cast,
For Trenton they are toiling fast,
Where every heart must bleed its last,
Or save expiring Liberty.
loud was the storm DER all the land.
And cold it swept the darksome strand, "a
Where, struggling from their banks, the band
Mustered in dread serenity,
Then rose shout!--who would not die.
To mix with hearts so bold and high?
For Battle Battle - was the cry
That thunder'd loud and cheerfully.
Son" was the woodland grim and dread,
While all is silent as the dead,
Save the quick march's hurried tread,
The host is rushing rapidly. M
What do yon glimmering watch-fres tell!
What distant sounds SO family swella
What lonely voices cry ALPS well"
Amid the nights solemnity,
Huzza! It's Trenton !--Eark that cry-
That shrek of death THE pickets die -
a foeman's trump is pealing high
His drums are rolling furiously.
. On J on I'VE conquer or we de-
Was Washington's resounding cry,
sAnd glorious was the glad reply,
The shout of "Death or Victory"

Swell. swell that burst of joy once more
Shout it to every sea and shore,
The morning song of Liberty
Millions, mid tyranny's alarms,
Shall start to hear that music's charms,
and shouting thousands shine in arms
To rival Trenton's chivalry.
