THE BRIGANn LEADER AND HIS WIFE

THE BRlGANn LEADER AND HIS WIFI
By 1frs. Htmans.
Dark chiefiain of the heath and height,
Wild feaster on the hills BY night!
Seeat thou the stormy sunsets glow,
Flung back by glancing spears below
Now for one strife of stern despair
Z he foe hath track d thee 10 thy lair.
Thou against whem the voice Of blood,
Hath risen from rock and lonely wood,
And iii whose dreams moan should be,
Not of the water, nor the tree;
Haply thine own last hour is nigh,
Yet shalt thou mt forsaken die.
There's one that pale beside thee stands.
More true than all thy mountain bands
She will not shrink in doubt ard dread,
Wien the balls whistle round thy head;
Nor leave thee, though thy closing eye,
No longer may to hers reply.
OH many soft and quiet grace
Hath faded from her soul and face;
And many thought, the fitting guest
Of woman's meek religious breast,
Hath perisiI'd, in her wanderings wides
Through the deep forests, by thy side.
Yet mournfnlly surviving all,
A flower upon ruins wall,
A friendless thing, whose lot is cast,
OF lovely ones to be the last;
Sad, but unchanged through good and i'll,
Thine is her lone devotion still.
And, oh not wholly lost the heart.
Where that undying love hath part;
Not worthless all, though far and long
From home estranged, and guided wrong
Yet. may its depths by Heav'n be stirr'd.
Its prayer for thee be pour'd and heard

NEWBURYPORT BRIDGE.

Mr. Editor--Ihe late accident which happened
to the chain bridge at Ne@buryport, seems some-
what mysterious, after all the solutions which have
been offered. The increased tension of the chains
in consequence of the cold, has been assigDed--but
the operation Of this, would naturally suppose

From the Near England Farmer.
MANAGEMENT OF HORSES ON JOUR-
-.NEY.

A horse ought to eat at least from sixteen to
twenty quarts of oats per day, otherwise he will
not and cannot perform a long journey. Clean
fresh hay and little water, should be given Of
ten as you stop.
Never trust to ostlers when you are on jour
ney. 1t is essentially necessary that YOU person.
ally see to the cleaning, waterng feeding. aud lit
terng Of your horse, otherwise you will in all pro-
liability soon be under the necessity of hiring or
purchasing another or abandoning your journey.
Should your horse lose his appetite, give him an
ounce of nitre in bran-mash once or twice. This,
with a little rest, will soon recover him.
Deane's New. England Farmer says, To fit
horse for journey, he should not be suffered to
grow too fat and gross. He should be kept in the
Stable rather than in the pasture. and fed mostly
with provender; but rather sparingy if inclined
to be fat. He should have exercise daily to harden
his flesh and keep him in the habit Of travelling.
He should be shod some days before he begins
Journey, that the shoes may be well settled to his
feet, and the nails little rusted at the points, that
they hold the faster. And the pads Of the saddle
should be WE'LL fitted to his back as to fill the
hoows, and bear equally on every part. And
while he is on journey he should be stabbed eve
ry night. 1t is very destructive To expose horses
to the dampness and cold Of the night after severe
exercise

Pulse of Horse.-In the management Of sick
horses great advantage may be derived from attend
ing to the state of the pulse, we are thereby en-
abIed to Judge Of the degree Of violence of the
disease, and the probability there may be Of reco.
very. We are in some measure also assisted by it
IN ascertaining the nature Of the complaint. and
the application Of remedies.
In healthy horse the pulsations are about Sc or
40 in minute, and may be felt very distinctly ei-
ther on the left side, or in artery which passes
over the lower jaw bone in short, pulsation may
be felt in every superficial artery.
When horse appears rather dull, and does not
feed properly, it is advisable to examine the pulse,
and if he be found exceed the standard Of health
immediate recourse should be had to bleehing.-
By this timely interference many dangerous com
plants may be prevented. When the pulse rises
to 80 in minute, there is reason to be apprehen-
sive Of danger and when it exceeds 100 the dis
ease frequently terminates in death.

Il do not know that the political aspect Of

this is the settlement of your country
men, aud although the expedition
teens with danger, you shall be guild
ed to it under my inspection-and
then, farewell my happiness, my coun-
try, and the grave of her loved"
Here the chiefain paused, dashed
away gathering tear, and gave or
ders to prepare for escoriing the pris-
oners to the village. Emily had now
so far recovered, as to he able to walk
with the assistance of Edmond and
the chief, and the party soon COM
menced their Journey. The sun was
just beginning to paint the eastern
horizon with lighter hue, when they
came in sight Of the little settlement.
The party paused. The chieftain
took the hand of Edmond. "Fare-
well" said he, "you go to your home
and your friends, and with them and
your bosom companion, you will be
happy. But no happiness remains for
Alquina, but in death, and that have
sought in vain. Farewell" A tear
was gathering in his eye, and his voice
faultered. That moment a volley Of
m"sketry rang through the air, and
the chieftain fell. Edmond knelt by
his side-the assailants rushed for
ward, and he knew the garb of his
country's warriors. "Oh, save Al
quina," said he. as a young soldier
was about to plunge bayonet into
his breast. The soldier stayed his
hand. The youth cleared the matted
locks from his bloody brow. The
chieftain turned his quivering eye up
on him, clasped his hand with dying
grasp, and withou, groan, his mighty
soul took its flight to rejoia his slaugh.
tered countrymen in the world of Spir-
its.
