THE LAST INDIAN.

THE LAST INDIAN.
The mighty river of the west
RolPd ON its giant flood,
And laved the little hillock's foot
Where the last Indian stood.
The warriors eye was dim with age,
His youthful vigor fed,
And the cold hand of death was laid
Upon his dropping head.
Yet to his dull fast closing eye
Prophetic light is given
The red mans dying glance is cast
Far toward the eastern heaven.
Where once the bison bounded free,
Where the red man ruled alone,
And plains, and streams, and shady groves,
And lakes were all his own.
What sees he now from sea TO sea
The pale faces are spread,
Countless as leaves upon the trees,
Or sand in the rivers bed.
From south to north. from west to east,
His eye can met no trace,
Save charmed mounds, and whining bones,
OF his once mighty race.
"Fathers / come, receive your son
"To that far land of souls,
"To those blest streams and hunting grounds
'Where pale face never prowls.
~ come! leone! to join my sires,
"The last ofall my race.'
He said, and sunk upon his breast,
His pale and lifeless face. SIGMA.

An A,ckacard Dilemma. Mr.. Bcnia.
min Carr, of Albany, gentleman about
fifty, came to this city yesterday morning
in the steamboat, and while on his passage
had his attention attracted by fine female
infant about eight months old, which was
in the arms Of a genteel looking young
woman rather shabbily dressed. The inter-
est which Mr.. Carr took in the child led to
sort of acquaintance between him and its
mother, and having learned from her that
she was extremely poor, he treated her TO
breakfast on their arriving at New. York,
after which they left the hotel together, and
as they were both going to the same part of
the city they walked together for some
time, until the lady stopped at a store and
requested Mr.. Carr to hold her baby for a
moment while she went in to get glass of
water. Mr.. Carr very willingly took his
little favorite in his arms, and having waited
considerable length Of time without its
mother returning, he went into the store to
return the child to her, and to his no little
establishment was informed that The lady Lad
not remained one minute in the store,
(Which was at the corner Of strect,) but
merely came in at one door and went out
at the other, and no one there knew any
thing more about her.
Mr.. Carr was of course in queer d.
emma, and having impaired his situation
to the people in the store, they advised him
to bring the child to the alms-house, from
which he was then about mile. The day
being rather sultry, and Mr.. Carr being
rather 6eshy, and not being able to procure
carriage, by the time he arrived with his
little darling at the alms-house, he had suf-
fered SO much from fatigue. perspration,
and other little annoyances, that he was in
any thing but good humor, and in rather a
peevish tone of voice, desired the people at
the alms-housc to take the child from him.
But on learning how he obtained possession
of it, the commissioners refused point blank
to have any thing TO do with it. Mr.. Carr,
however, insisted that they should keep it,
and laid down the child in the room, but
was very quickly compelled TO take it up
again by the threat of being instantly CON-
mitted to Bridewcll.
Nor was this all for he was told that
before ne went away, he must give security
that he would not abandon the child, or let
it become burden on the city, and was
only allowed to depart on his solemn prom
Use that he would take the infant with him
to Albany. Finding that he had no other
resource, he carried the child into the Park,
where it begau to squall most vociferously
for its mother, and Mr.. Carr, in order tc
pacify it, attempt awkwardly enough to &C,
the nurse and swing the child to and fro
whilst he accompanied the motion with 0
"Iullaby baby" 10 the no Small amusement
OF the bystanders, until he at last succeeded
in quoting the child, and carried it of, VOW.
ing most veheriently that as long as he
lived, he would never so much as put his
little finger on any PERSONS child but his
own.-N. Y. paper.

The editor Of the New York Express, noticing
the amount of business transacted in that CON-
merical whirlpool and its prospective prosperity,
thus speaks of the never ending bustle-
There arc no moments for recreation,
no days for rest, no times, for pauses, and
but few hours for reflection. If, reader, you
doubt what we say, 60 with us through Mas
sau street, or Wall street at midnight. The
very ground under you shall shake and
tremble like an earthquake with the artillery
of the press, and upon every side you can
see nothing but the sky above you, which
gives even the appearance of night. Go,
too, through Broadway, along the Park, and
by the Bowery, and nothing but the ilumi.
nations that surround you, will whisper that
night has succeeded day. Thus it is with
us--day and night, night and day. Men
there walk faster, talk faster, think faster,
eat faster, drink faster, sleep faster, than
any where else. Speed is written upon
every thing from the pulpit to the press, and
from the press, TO the workshop. The age
Of poetry, of music, of beauty, Of goods, is
all ideal with us, or with the male portion of
us at least--and instead of it We have the
age of business, of velocity, of enterprise
and excitement. Nothing frightens us or
impedes our progress. Fire and accidents
are expected as matter Of course. The
destruction of millions of dollars upon land
or sea excite no alarm, and create no SUR
prise. Eight months since and the weather.
part of the city was in flames and in ruins.
The alarm was but momentary fear soon
subsidized, and danger was over. Like prac-
teal common sense men, instead of mourn-
ing over their losses, the losers Immediately
commenced gathering up their fortunes,
and by diligence and industry were again
upon the road to wealth and prosperity.
Not failure followed no distrust was
created in the minds of any one and now
it would seem from the beauty, present and
promising, and compactness, where once all
was different, that our greatest calamity
would prove our greatest blessing. Such
is the enterprise of our great and magnifi-
cent city, which is known, and we'll known,
over almost the entire word--such, too, is
the city which is destined in time TO outstrip
in wealth, in commerce, in influence and in
population, the greatest cities of the world.
