Was heard as though u hero fell,
And bark the Indians whoop again,
1t is for daring Davies slain.
How fearful is the battles rage, 4 ..a-a
No ladys hand is in tn affray,
But brawney limbs the contest wage,
And struggle for the vctors day.
Low Spencer (el sinks, and Warwick's slain,
And breathless bodies strew the plain;
And yells, and groans, and clash and roar,
Echo along the Wabash shore.
But mark! what breaks upon the eye!
Aurora beams the coming day
Shall foil a frantic prophecy,
And Christian valor well display.
Meier did Constantine's soldiers see
With more joy than victory,
A cross the arch of heaven adorn,
Than these the blushing of the morn.
Bold Boyd IN led on his steady band,
With brstling bayonets FURNISHED bright;
What could their dauntless charge withstand,
Or stay the warriors matchless mightr
Rushing amain, they clear'd the field,
The savage foe CONSTRAINED to yield
To HARRISON, ~ who near and for !
Gave torn and spirit to the war.
Sound! sound the charge spur. spur the stsed!
And swift the fugitives pursue!
IT'S vain-ren in-your utmost speed
Cannot o'ertake the recyeant crew.
In lowland marsh, in dell and cave,
Each Indian sought his life to save,
Whence, peering forth with fear andre,
He saw his Prophets town on fire.
Now the great Eagle of the vests
Triumphant wing was seen to wave,
And now each soldiers manly breast
Sighed DER his fallen comrades grave.
Some dropp'd tear, then unused while,
Then ioin'd in measured march their file,
And here and there cast wishful eye
That might surviving friends descry.
But let foe again appear,
From east or west, or north or south,
The soldier soon will dry his tear,
And fearless gaiIy sally forth:
With lightning eye, and warlke front,
He'll meet the battles deadly brunt--
Come Gauls. or Britons, il anay'd
For fight. you'll feel treemans blade.

Cure FOR A CANcER.-A quack doctor cured can.

having poured certain quantity Of olive oil into it, he
made it boil over small fire, sufficiently TO keep it
