THE CHOCTAW CHIEF.
I could wish, ere fall, to press the bold hand
Ofsome Warrior whose soul was as great as
my own;
For Heroes whose spirits fame fierce as the

Should never be left to expire alone

The sons of the Forest and Field in array;
And bid him approach the gloomy death-bed
Of his Red brother Chieftain-Pus u-MA-TA-
o the warrior brave, was ever my pride,
And dearest his friendship who deepest had
bled;
No coward in life dared stand by my side,
And none should be near q warrior ,vhen

So when for my soul, the GREAT SPIRIT
shall call,
And these nerv'd arms, shall motonless lay
Let none but the mare support the dark pail
That shrouds the remains of PusH-MA.rA-HA!
I've borne the red flag, in the front Of the
fight
Unuw'd have faced the death-dealing train;
And my spirit shall hover DER earth with de-
light,
To view these fierce symbols of battle a.
again.
Then, when my cold corse shall sleep in the
grave
When this war.wasted frame is deep in the

o round let the banners of bright crimson
wave,
And "Me big guns be tir'd Ger PusH-mA.

injunction of secrecy from the proceedings of the
Senate, in relation to the nomination ofMr M In

his agency; because, it never can be presumed
that the Senate Of the u States could have been so

OF that proceeding, and Of the publication of the

See the Highland warrior rushing
First in danger-on the foe;
Till the lfe-blood, warmly gushing,
Lays the plaided hero low.
His native pipes accustomed sound,
Mid wars internal concert drown'd
Cannot soothe his last adieu,
Or wake his sleep on Waterloo.
Crashing DER the Cuirassier,
See the foaming charger flying;
Tramping III his wild career,
All alike-the dead and dying.
See the bullets through his side,
Answered by the spouting tide;
Helmet, horse and rider too,
Roll on bloody Waterloo.
Shall scenes like these the dance inspire,
Or wake the enlvening notes of mirth
Oh shiver'd be the recreant Tyre
That gave the base idea birth
Other sounds, | ween were there,
Other music rent the air,
Other waltz the warriors knew,
When they closed at Waterloo.
Forbear till time with lenient hand,
Has healed the pang of recent sorrow !;
And let the picture distant stand,
The softening hue of years to borrow.
When our race has passed away,
Hands unborn may wake the lay;
And give to JOY alone the view
Of Britain's tame-at Waterloo.

Ten are the Holy Commandments given
To man below-from God in heaven.

God will watch and God will guard US;
He, through his eternal might,
Gives us all blessed night

Eleven sounds on the Belfrey bell
Eleven Apostles of Holy mind,
Taught the Gospel to mankind

Twelve disciples to Jesus came,
Who suffered rebuke for their Saviours name.
