ception of the news ia this city gloom
seemed to pervade the whole population.
without distinction of party. Broadway
was literally enshrouded in her weeds of
wo. The flags on every tower and BAL
cony were displayed at half mast. The
tolling of bells, and the firing of minute
guns, all contributed to add solemnity to
the scene. But last Saturday will be a
day long to be remembered by those who
witnessed the grandeur and the solemni.y
OF the scene. 1t was indeed fit ceremo-
ny for a nation overwhelmed with grief.
At an earl " hour the members of the vari-
Gus military corps, charitable associations.
clubs, and officers Of the army and navy,
began to assemble at their various pla-
ces of rendezvous. The streets in the
vicinity of the City Hall and Park pre-
sented one moving mass of human beings.
The side walks were blocked up-eveEy
balcony and window was filled with males
and females of all ages and condi.ions.--
The associations having arranged them
selves agreeably to the prescribed order
of the Programme, the line presented a
spectacle imposing beyond description.
The martial appearance of the military,
with their colors shrouded in crape--the
various societies with their sable banners
slowly moving to the death dirge with
muffled drums, and forming a solid mass
of a. least four miles i'll length. All par
ty feeling was forgotten; all fel. the grief
of nations loss.
Thus ended the solemnities Of the 10th

The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1841-05-13
For the Hawkeyc and Patriot.
A T A l. e

On bright summer evening, when the
foliage was in its full bloom, and the air
was fragrant with the perfume Of flowers,
might have been seen two youthful forms,
in earnest conversation, under the shady
branches OF large buckeye tree, on the
margin of the great Miami River. One
was young haczwoodsman, about the
age of sixteen. the manly outlines OF
whose countenance bore evidence TO the
vgor, both of mind and body, which an
education in the new aud growing West
was calculated to produce; while the deeds
of daring and sharp encounter with The
savage, gave him that chivalrlc tempera-
ment unknown in more polished society.
The other was female, some three years
younger, whose finely proporloned frame
spoke defiance to the trammels and sulci-
Gical arts of fashionable life. The glow
! of health was on her check, and the dark
eye, that glanced from beneath her au'
burn ringle,s had caused many a hapless
swain to quail beneath its power.
She was about to leave her "wilt
wood" home, for an eastern city, to ge
an education. Her father had fallen in
naval engagement during the Revolution
Her mother dying soon after, she hat
removed to the West with an uncle, he
only surviving relative and protector
She was to inherit large estate on com
ling Of age, and her guardian thought hes
10 give her an education which would fl
her for the society in which her wealt!
would place her.
"To-morrow," said Charles, "yo'
leave these silent, shady walks, for tn
fashionable din of the crowded city
Saw, Laura! when surrounded by pom
and splendor, in the festive hall, or tn
giddy dance, shall be altogether forgo
ten? Or will memory sometimes whis
per in your ear the songs of him who,
moments Of peril, once saved you f1o'
the cruel grasp Of the panther!'
q aNever shall I forget" answered tt
