What power hath stayed that wild careef,
Not mercy's voicc--nof a thrill Of faar;
lis the dread recoil Of the booming wave,
Ere it sweeps the bark to its yawning grave
lis the fearful hour of the broodng storm,
Ere the lightning bolt hath sped;
The shock hath come and the lifc-blood vain
Congeals on the breast Of the dead.
The strife-the taunt-the death-cry loud
Are pcaling through the sulphurous cloud,
As hand to hand each foe engages =,
While his that ne 'er 10 monarch bowed,

fearless throng the contest wages:
And eye to eye, the meek-the proud
Meet darkly meath the battle. shroud
'Tis the feast of death where the conflict races
Wo! for the land thou tramplest DER,
Death.dealing fcnd of war!
Thy battlc-hoofs are died in gore,
Red havoc drives thy car;
Wo for tho dark and dcsolate,
Down crushed beneath thy tread
Thy frown hath been as whitening fate,
To the mourning, aud tho dead!
Wo! for tile pleasant cottage homo,
The love-throng at the door;
Vainly they think his steps will come
Their cherished comes no more:
Wo for the broken hearted,
The loved-one by the hearth;
Wo! for the bliss Departed
The Pleiad gone from earth
Twas a day Of changeful fate.
For the foe of tho banner ed.line
And the host that came at morn in state,
Were broken throng ore the suns decline
And many a warriors heart was cold,
And many soaring hope was crushed
Where the crimson tide of battle rolled,
And the avenging legions rushed
Wreaths for the living conquoror
And glory's need for the persisted!
No trophied stone may their deeds restore,
But the hero names are cherished
When ths summons flew for the patriot call,
They gave no thought to the cory pail,
But pressed to the fight as Il festival.
They barred them to the rabre.strokc,
Nor quailed an eye when the fury broke
They fought like men who dared to die
For freedom" was their battle.cry---
And fond it rung through the conflict smoke. =
Up with nations banners! They fly
With nm eagle flight,
To the far blue sky

And their fame shall nevor die
When nations search their brightest page
For deeds that gid the olden age,
And shine, the meteor. lights of story
Britain, with swelling pride shall hear
OF Cressy's field, and old Poictiers,
And deathless Agincourt;
Shall Gallia point witha kindling eye
To the days of her belted chivalry,
And her gallant Troubadour;
Old Scotia, too, with Joy shall turn
Where beams the fight of Bannockburn,
And Falkirk's field of glory
Land of the free! Though young in fame,

Yet look where lives in glory's line,

Extract of Letter from Mss L. f..
Mrs. Bulwer is in figure what is
called u fine woman, tall, exquisitely
shaped, with perfect foot and ankle.
The phrase, the midnight darkness
Of her hair" is the poetry of truth as
applied to hers; it is of that purple
black which gives such an idea of rich
ness; her complexion is just rose
crushed on ivory; aud eyes, large soft,
beautiful as her facets, in both colour
and feature, It's chief charm is express
sion. Perhaps her fascination is eve n
greater Than her beauty; animated.
lively, it is difficult to say whether you
are most dazZled 10y her wit or won
by her sweetness; such fairy princess
Of romance could only be matched by
some preux chevalier, and truely in APP
pearance, Nh. Bulwer would do honor
even to the court OF Charlemagne
He is very handsome a superb intel
lsctual style; in a state of repose his
features have strong expression of
Inelanchulv, and his mouth-a beau'i
iul one, 10y the by ii is, almost as if
chisselled in coral--has compression
strongly indicative of pride and deci-
sion but his .mile-,I never saw any
thing SO fascinating, when he pleases;
lfone could apply harmony to the eyes,
instead of ears, should say his are
filled with music. He is fair; pro-
fusion of bright curls, slightly but ex-
guisitely formed, with hands and feet
Of most aristocratic diminutiYeness.
To say he is gentlemanly will give you
but slight idea of his manner, which is
the very perfection of the most refined
exeellense-elegant, even more from
nature than cultivation. | should rath-
or think him silent and reserved in
general, but have heard him con .erse
until, must say, the conversation be.
cane quite an epoch in my memory:
language SO fine, though, so original
and yet so just, such information, and
in lighter parts, so graceful, its wit SO
delightful in its expression in short
oae OF the very few myself should
say, the only one who ever came up to
ones prec"nceived notion of genius;
and, for a finishing stroke Of interest,
theirs was love match, and they seem
TO be the most attached as well as the
hsndsomest couple | have seen.

TIPPECANOE.

TIPPECANOE An account of
al affecting ceremony which took
place on the Dist of Oct. is given in
the papers. 1t was the collection OF
the bones OF the brave warriors who
fell in the bloody battle of Tippecanoe,
AMI their interment with appropriate
honors. 1t may be remembered that
IN 1871 several murders and depreda-
tons committed by the Indians, under
the influence Of the fanatic called the
Shawnee Prophet, had led to the con-
csn,ration of some A nerican forces in
the la lian Territory. In the October
of that year an expedition, about 800
III nurnber, met at the Wabash, under
Geu HARRISON AT the mouth of the
Errmilinn a block house was erected
Tor the protection of the boats and hea-
Wy baggage, which they were obliged
60 leave there On the 9th they arriv-
ed within four miles of the Prophets
Town. where they formed the line of
battle, and so proceeded within $50
yards OF the Town, where the Indians
requested halt and a suspension OF
hostllities till general interview could
he had. The little army encamped, but
IN order of battle, every man sleeping
opposite to his post, and in his accou-
iremen;s. About half past O'Clock
on the morning of the 7th the Indians
made all attack. The night was very
dark--it rained and showed and the
Al 10
and the signal for calling to arms would
have been given in two minutes, when
the assault began. The troops were
Immediately at their posts-but the In
dams burst into the t"nts Of the more
tardy and baltled our soldiers hand to
hand. IN short time the fires were
extinguished and solid phalanx op-
posed to the assailants quite round the
camp. The conflict was bloody, and
il was not till dawn that an effeCtual
sharge was made by our troops, and
the saVages gave way at the point OF
the bavonet. Or the Americans go
were killed and 126 wounded. The
Indians suffered more severely. The
town dc. OF the Indians were destroy.
ed, and on the 9th the army commenc-
ed its return to the Wabash. On the
following dav orr fallen we're torn from
their graves by the Indians. General
Upton, one Of the survivors Of the con
flct, was the first white man who revi-
sited the battle ground. This occurred
about ten years ago. He found the
bones Of his deceased fellow soldiers

Drsons collected on the Dist of last
October. among them Il few survivors
Of the battle, and relations and friends
of the deceased. Part of the bones
found were deposited in large box,
and the remainder in an elegant coffin,
lined within and covered with black
cloth, hung round with Grape. On the
lid of the coffin, CREST, WARRIORS,
REST" was Inscribed in large letters
with brass nails. A large grave was
dug for The final interment of the re-
mains. Appropriate ceremonies were
performed, and before the concourse
dispersed they were addressed by
Gen. Upton in relation to the sangu;-
nary conflict and the last honors to
the noble dead whose expiring strug-
gle he had witnessed OH that hallow-
ed spot. With much ability he JUS
tined the encampment, the disposition
o. the forces aud the conduct of the
engagement. Though then far in the
bosom of barbarous land-though
encHcled 10y overwhelming number $
OF merciless fue-thOugh the ele-
ments seemed To war against them ::
still. amidst the confusion and slaugh-
ter of the bloody fight, every misfor-
tune of the contlic, was promptly met
by military skill, cool and dispassion-
ate bravery worthy of universal con-
mendation and lasting remembrance"
A military officer being at sea, in n
dreadful storm, his lady, who was sit
ting near him, and filed with alarm
tor the safety ofthc vessel, was so sur
prIsed at his composnre ahd serenity,
that she cried out, Ny dear, are you
not afraid 7 How is it possible you
can be so calm in such a storm 7
He arose from a chair lashed to the
deck, and supported himself by a pill
low OF bed place, he drew his sword,
aud pointing to the Breast of his wife,
he exclaimed care you not afraid ?"
She instantly replied, " No, certainly
not, a." Whv?' said the officer,-' Be-
cause" rejoined the lady, 81 know the
sword is IL. the hands of my husband,
and he loves me too well TO hurt me-"

winds in his;ist, aud the waters in the
hollow of his hand.-Proy. Journal
