 THE FALL OF w ARSAsS.

 Mourn, 0 mourn for Poland,
 The home Of the fearless brave, For her patriot hearts all tried and true, That with freedom have fonnd a grave. Mourn for her high and ancient name, The great and proui Warsaw; Where the Russians shout of triumph rings And the Gossack's dread hnzza. Mourn for her kingly palaces. In smoking ruins laid; For the blood afher naughty high-b nEons Staining the rufian's blade. Mourn for her helples innocents, Her beautiful and fair; dor her villages sacked, and her harvest
 feids,
 By the hands of the Russ laid bare. Mourn for her many fatherless, Whose loud and lonely wall, And the cry of the widows woe IS borne On the wings of the rising gale. Mourn for her mighty fallen, And her weapons of war cast low; For the rights of the people trampled on By their proud Maiscoyitc fee. Mourn for the land made desolate, By sickness x sword and flame. Forthe fate of a brave nation that brings A curse on the despots's name. Mourn for unhappy Poland
 For her best and bravest slain; And their scatter,d bones which bleach
 upon.
 The wide and naked plain. Mourn, mourn for Poland For her bright and beacon star; For the light of it's beam is quenched now, In the crimson tide of war. - OSCAR.

had not long been there, when four Indians came
to the lick, each with his rifle on his shoulder
The situation of the ranger was one which re-
CURED equal promptitude of decision and action
He had but moment for reflection. He took
deliberate aim at one of the indians, and fired
The other Indians instantly leveled their rifles
at him, fred and missed him. He had calculated
that they would fire under the trepidation of the
alarm, and the result showed the &C.
curacy of his calculation. They fired, and mis-
sed. But one of the Indians, with that rapidity
of thought for which they are said to be celebra-
ted, instantly caught up the rifle of the dead In
dian, took more steady aim, fired, and struck
the powder-horn under the arm of the ranger,
blowing it to pieces. The ranger himself escap.
ed. But he does not ask the charity of Congress
He soIicits not the recompense which seems to be
so reluctantly given. That brave young man is
now the Governor of Ohio.
