TILE WIDOW PRAYER.
BY LYDIA II. sIGoURNEY.

LYDIA II. sIGoURNEY.
The youthful mad-the gentle BRIDE
The happy wife, her husbands PRIDE
Who meekly kneel, at morning ray,
The incense of their vow to pay,
Or, pour, amid their household train,
From loves full heart, the vesper strain;
What know they Other anguished cry,
Who lonely lifts the fearful eyel
No sympathizing glance TO view
Her altered cheeks unearthly hue
No soothing tone TO quell the power
OF grief that bursts at midnight hour;
oh, God! her heart is pierced and bare
Have mercy on the Widows prayer!
Not like that mothers heavenward sigh,
Who sees her fond protector nigh,
Is hers who reft Of earthly trust,
Hath laid her bos0m's lord in dust
Sleeps her young babel but who shall share
Its waking charms-its holy care2
Who shield the daughters opening bloom,
Whose father moulders in the Tomb
Her son, the treacherous world begnies;
What voice shall warn him of IFS wiles!
What strong hand break the deadly snare!
Oh, answer, Heaven! the Widows prayerl
For not the breath of prosperous days,
Though warm with joy, or wIng'd with praise,
Fer kndIed such living coal
OF deep devotion in the soul,
As that wild blast which bore away
It's idol to returnless clay;
And for that wreath that crowned the brow,
Left bitter herbs and hyssop bough-
A lonely ccuch-a sever'd tie
A tear that time can never dry
Unutter'd Woe-unptied care
Oh, God! regard the Widows prayer!

MISCELLANEOUS.

An Incident at the Battle ofthe Thames.
AT the battle Of the Thames, a laughable
incident occurred which is thus related by
one who was in the engagement.
The British General had formed his
men in open order, with the cannon point
ing down the road, by which the Amori-
cans were advancing. Gen. Harrison inn
mediately took advantage Of this, and or
dered Col. Johnson's mounted regiment to
charge at speed by heads Of companies $50
as to expose the least possible 'front.' pass
through the open intervals, and form in
the rear of the British forces. This move
ment was brilliantly executed under the
command of Lieut.. Col. James Johnson;
his brother, Col. K. M. Johnson, at the
same time charging the Indians with the
other battalion.
Ii happened that in one of the companies
under James Johnson's command, there
was huge, long-legged, brawny fellow,
named Lamb; he weighed about $40 lbs.
was a brave man, and as good hundred as
bg--brave men proverbially are. Lamb
had broken down his Kentucky horse by
his great weight, and was mounted instead
upon a short, stout, wl(ul, Canadian pony,
from whose sides his long limbs depended
almost to the ground, while his bulky frame
rose high above the beast--looking not
unlike an overgrown school boy astridc Of
rough sheep.
When the charge was made, Lambs
poncy took fright, and broke into a strain.
Lamb pulled until the bit broke in the ami
mails mouth, and all command of him lost
The little poney stretched himself 10 the
work, dashed out Of the ranks, soon out
stripped all his file leaders, and pushed on
in advance of his company. Lamb was no
longer master Of his horse or himself, and
he was in a quandary. If he rolled off
he would tramped to death by his own
friends--if the horse rushed upon the Bril-
fish lines with him so far ahead Of the rest
he must be killed. Either way, death
seemed inevitable; and to use his own ex-
preston, he thought he'd jist say something
they could tell his friends in Kentucky
when they went home.
He stuck both heels into the poncy's
tanks, and urged him to the utmost speed
On they drove, some fifty yards in front
of the leading file, Lambs gigantic person
swinging in most portcntous fashion,
the little Canadian &" pulling foot" all he
knew how, his tail straight, his nostrs dis
tended, his ears pinned back, and his shiny
eyes flashing from under his shaggy fore
top with all the spite and spleen of a regu-
lar born devil. Just as he got within g
stride or two of the British, Lamb flourish
ed his rifle aud roared out in voice o.
thundcr-' Clear the ray - you.
for Pm d coming"
To his surprise, the line opened RICH
and left, and he passed through unhurt
So great was their establishment at tn,
strange aparition Of such a rider and sucl
a horse, moving upon them with such fu
rious velocity, that they opened mechani
calIy at his word Of command and let hin
pass. SO soon as he gained the rear o
their position, Lamb rolled Off on the grass
and suffered his pony to go his own road
A few minutes more and he was with hi
comrades, securing the prisoners.
