THE DOOMED SOLDIER AT FORT MEIGS
BY MISS SARAH j. CLARKE.

BY MISS SARAH J. CLARKE.
At late Democratic meeting in Pennsylvania
II. Logan, who served under General Harrison
Fort Meigs, recounted Il thrilling incident lC
nich he averred he was an eye and ear witness
soldier who had deserted was tried by Court
artial and sentenced to be shot The procession
rmed-first came the prisoner and bis coffin, fol-
wed by the guard, whose duty it was to execute
G sentence of the court. They reached the iataI
ot-he was blindfolded and made to kneel by the
de of his coffin. The commands were given "-iidkt
eady Take Aim !" when the voice of General
arrison interposed, and the emphatic words, "As
~ WERE! !" at once put a joyful end TO the dread
] scene.
He came with slow and measured tread,
To sound of mufled drum,
With bloodless cheek and eye Of dread,
felon to his doom.
And sadly then we followed him,
Each manly bosom swelling,
Ard in each soldiers eye so dim,
The warm tear-drop was dwelling.
He was our comrade-oft we'd shared
A soldiers couch at night,
Or side by side had nobly dared
The perils of the fight.
We paused-and Oh ! il was place
More fit for hour of mirth,
Amid the loneliness, the grace,
The all most fair Of earth.
He turned, and cast a lingering look
Ger all the prospect wide,
The dewy fields, the laughing brook
The mountain in its pride.
Then sad, yet calmly kneeling low,
His coffin there beside,
Around his damp and palid brow
The fatal band was tied.
"lfake ready !"--Oh, the hcrrd clahg
Of lowering muskets then,
That mid the sounding forest rang,
And echoed through the glen.
..Iake aim y"--like death knee pierced the air
One ugonizing thrill -
His pale cold lips moved as in prayer,
Then all again was still.
Our noble chief with mournful mein,
And lonely step apart,
Had watched the dread and solemn scene
With sad ocrfowing heart.
And "As YOU WERE !" like angel notes
Fell ON the listening ear,
Or as some lay that sweet.y floats
On evenings tranquil air.
And then glad triumphant sound
EXultingy rang out,
Till every hill and rock around
Gave back the joyous shout.
And once again, a gladstone band,
We round our comrades pressed,
To take once more the friendly hand,
And clasp him to the breast.
The cheerful word to "Aiarck," obeyed,
File after file was hieing,
Through mountains pass and leafy glade,
With glad bright pennons flying.
And he, to sound of drum and fife,
Stepped in our proud array,
Restored again to joy and life,
The gayest of tue gay.
Now on the Chief so brave and kind,
May Heavens free blessing rest
For all that's noble and refined
Dwells in his gallant breast.
And Poesy shall meekly stand
And bid the hero live,
With parted lips and Tyre in her hand,
Her offering shall give.
Till HARRIsoN's chivaric name
Shall be through coming time
BY thrilling note of deathless fame,
Proclaimed IN every cline.

What will the plain republican farmers Of the

ibal relormers have expended 8l3,405 of the
Peoples cash for looking glasses, lamps and can,
dlesticks? What would the frugal and honest
Hoosiers think, were they to behold a democratic
