poem presented and therefore entitled to the high
est premium. -
~ LEXINGTON.
Written By Prosper II. Wstmors, Esq. Of N. Y
:" 1t was scene of strange and thrilling interest
they stood there to oppose authority which
they had been taught to fear, if not q venerate
Many were armed but with their wrongs-others
had caught up in haste the rude weapons Of the
chase but there was determination in every look
Well did the assaiIants rue their assault upon tina
little band Of patriots. Long will the dongs of tina
day be remembered. 1t was the opening scene of
glorious drama"
There was a fearful gathering seen
On that eyentful day:
And men there were who ne'er had bsen
The movers in a frey;
The peaceful and the silent came,
With darkling brows and flashing eyes
And breasts, that knew not glory's flame,
Burned for the patriot-sacrifce
No pomp ofmarch--no proud array
There spake no trumpet-sound-
As solemnly they took their way
Unto that conflict ground:
Sadly, as if some tie were broken
But firm with port erect, austere-
Dark glances passed, and words were spoken,
As men win look and speak in fear;
Yet coursed no coward-blood
Where thar lone phalanx stood,
Rock-like, but spirit wrought
Astrange unwonted feeling crept
Through every breast-all memories slept
While passion there vigil kept
For one consuming thought
To live fettered slave,
Or ill freeman's grave
Though many an arm was weaponless,
The clenchedfnger spake full we'll
The stern resolve, the fearlessness,
That danger could not quell;
Yet some, with hasty hand,
The rust encountered brand
Had snatched from its peaceful sleep,
And held il now with grasp that told,
A freeman's life should be dearly sold
Twas courage stern and deep!

SLEEP WALKING. A singular case of
somnambuism was mentioned to US by a
friend from Hudson, on Saturday. A Capt.
@. Z of that city is in the habit of get
ting up in his sleep. One night last winter
soon after the ice formed upon the river Mr.. x.
was discovered in the course of the night TO
have left his bed and board, with nothing but
shirt, drawers and stockings for covering.
Pursuit was made, and he was found sam
terlng along the streets. But he fed from
all who approached with amazing swiftness
--dedging corners, and threading streets
and alleys like police officer, or rogue
running away from one. At length finding
his pursuers to gain upon him, he took to
the river, and ran out upon the ice, where
he put them at defiance, for they dared not
follow him, expecting every moment, that
he would sink through the treacherous
bridge. But he finally awoke and came
ashore in great terror and exhaustion.
Lately, this nocturnal adventurer has had
another frolic in his slumbers. He went to
bed quite early in the evening, and sailed
forth at about eleven o'clock-taking the
Columbia turnpike, leading to Sheffield
having the same scanty apparel as before.
Several people met him on the road footing
it aloug at prodigious rate, but not know
ing the cause, and some doubling his mate
riality, his progress was not opposed until
he had passed the village Of Claverack and
was ascending the gentle hill beyond.
Here a stout negro man of some sense, re-
turning rather late from blissful visit to his
dingy Amarylis, thinking that the man must
either be crazy OF asleep, sprang before
and grasped him in his arms. The white
rover struggled with him for a moment, but
Jugurtha threw him to the ground, and he
awoke by the shock of the tumble in wild
affright-believing himself in the hands Of
the devil, and uttering wild note of alarm
accordingly-to which Sambo very philo-
sophically replied" You berry hard to
wake, massa." After the hypno- patetc
had picked himself up, and found out by
the light of the moon, and the protestations
of Syphax, that he was no nearer Gehenna
than the border between Claverack and
Spencertown, and that his companion was
as honest fellow as though his skin was
white, he went to farmhouse much ex-
hausted, and was kindly taken in, after the
inmates had become satisfied that ghosts dc
not walk abroad in such muscular and sub
stantial frames-next morning he returned
home in a borrowed suit much to the relief
of his friends, who were greatly distressed
by the supposition that in attempting to GO
on board of his vessel in his sleep, he had
fallen into the river from the wharf. The
fleetness and energy Of Mr.. x, were
remarkably displayed on this occasion for
by the calculation of the time, he must have
travelled above six miles in the space of an
hour.-.M y Commercial Advertiser.
