SONG OF THE FORsAKEN.
BY MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS.

Yes, meet me in my dying hour,
When life is glowing cold,
And the story of thy cruel power
Upon the heart is told.
Come, while its strings are yet awake
And trembling still for thee,
And as they culver, ere they break,
Thy soul shall feel for me.
Go with them when they bear me out
And lay me down to rest,
Then leave me in my loneliness
The damp sOds on my breast.
Go back to her from whom ye gave
The life that once was mine;
shall not feel, in that dark grave,
This Perfdity Of thine.

AN INDIAN HANGING.

The first Indian that was capitally executed by the Cherokees, under Cherokee laws and by aCher- Okee Sheriff, was a man named Nat, who was hanged several years ago about i've miles from Van Buren, Arkansas, for the murder If another Indian, who was called Musquito. We have the particulars from an eye witness. The Sheriff had caused a gallovs t6 be erected a short distance from the Court Lodge, but when the culprit was brought to 1t, he being very tall man. it wac found to be too short for his accommodation. and some other place had to be sought for the execu- ton.
 The whole band of Indians with the Sheriff and Nat in the midst of them, then betook themselves 10 the banks of the Arkansas, in seaTch of pro. per tree from which to suspend the prisoner and after little time, tall cotton woud was found, with d projecting branch far up the trunk. which in the opinion of all suitable for the pnrpose Nat, now that all things were ready, expressed wish to 6athe in the river once more, which he
 was permitted to do, carefully guarded by the rifles from the shule. He went into the river, frolick- ed about for some time, swan to and fro with great apparent pleasure-then came to the shore, dnned his blanket and stood ready for the las: act of the drama. The Sheriff now told him to climb the tree. which he coffimenced roing=the officer of the law toiling up after him with the fatal cord. Nat reached the projecting limb of the tree and was desired by the Sheriff work himself as far out up- on it. from the trunk. as he could, which was done when the Sheriff adjusted the moose about his neck, and tied the other end of the rope aroInd the limb. All these preparations were conducted with the utmost coolness, and the most perfect good understanding existed between the Sheriff and the Indian. When all the arrangements were com pleted, the Sheriff told Nat that he would slide down the tree to the ground. and make signal, when he, the prisoner, must jump off the limb to which Nat cheerfully assented. The Sheriff reached the ground. and looking up to the limb upon upon which sat the poor victim. he shouted, n A n s.~~> Moe did, and after few struggles. hung mass of life- less clay, to the infinite w.mderment of his red brethren, who had never before been regaled with the sight of an execution of that kind.
