subllmlty Of his heroism. ID seemed Us though
heart spoke 10 heau, and mind was bowing wllh
deerenual homage at the shrine Of mind. No
Up moved, no accents faltered ,---no tongue broke
the stiffness Of joy: but every eye. every coun-
Ienance viyidy spoke a language which could
not be misunderstood or misrepresenIed, 1.-the
uuerance Of the soul---an instructive tribute TO
pure, dIsnIeresIed, noble msgnanimiIy! Even
the officers started with a surprise which almost
clothed itself in exclamations Of wonder. The
commandant checking his aslonishmenI bya yio-
lent effort, and assuming an air Of forbidding
sterness, replied:
"Be II so. But do not deceive yourselves; for
hearken! so sure as Pushmaiaha brings not in
the people in eight days, Holale Fxico shall die
the death Of dog"
The Indian bowed his head in noble acquies-
cence 10 his welcomed doom whilst an impene.
Table camness sat upon his brow, the throne Of
thought, which no InIimations Of death could
bansh.
Yet, amid thai group Of thankful iaces..-all
beaming with proud qualification, there was one
mute adorer, in whose expressive countenance
were nirrored many strangely mingled emotions,
depicting themselves with the rapidily Of thought,
chasing each other like cloud hues before the
setting sun, as bright and yet as changeiu. As
NaIhceola knclI upon the rich green sward-..her
form Of symmetry bending forward with indis.
crlbablc grace and earneslness, her small hands
.clasped neryousIy before her bosom, ,---her hair
thrown back in all its luxurant flood Of raven
blackness, and her lovely face upiurned TO The
bold warrior; those dark gazelle-like eyes, and
every linament were lit with glow of unultera.
bic gratelulness.-a speeches Joy al deliverance
and mingling with these confding, thrilling
tenderness.
The eyes Of Holate met her soul beaming gaze
as he turned 10 accompany the guard; even the
stern, passonless composure of our hero melted
at thai glance, and beam Of tenderness brigh
tened his rigid features, for an instant, as if u
wandering ray of sunlight had fallen lhere....
With great solemnity the warriors were marched
to the armory; where the lelters were transferred
from the captive and fastened upon the sinewy
limbs of the noble hostage. Before many min
uteS had passed, Pushmalahawas on his Journey
passing forward with the rapidly of his race, in
creased by resolve to save his selEsacrifcinG
substitute from threatened doom. Through
many dark, gloomy swamp, over many an arid
plain or iar-strGtchlng savannah, he urged on his
course. Many an inland lake did he swim and
through many a muddy bayou and enormous
mazy cainbrake did he labor on,--.now crossing
rapids or toiing over barren waste and anon
reclining wearied beneath the balmy fragrance
and gorgeous shade Of giant magnolias anC
olives. But he laltered not; every path wa
known to him, and his quick eye was famiIia
with every retreat. Leaving him 10 his ,ireles
and perchance lruitless search we return.

Or quail at dark at causeless I'LL. G. WHITTIER.

Do bless her with their sympathy

And stirreth to the day light, li(tedup

And Nature with her beauty and her music SEEM
ed worshiping at the shrine Of the Holy One.--
The lawn, in front Of the military buildings, sIo-
ped sweetly down. presenting velvet carpet OF
emerald die, shaded with the rich foliage Of a
score of majestic trees. Beneath them was a
group of Indians, reclining upon tho sward.-
But there was one Of the number, who irresisti.
bly, attracted the gaze by the striking nobility OF
his appearance. He was at the very zenith of
manhood; his limbs full, muscular, and graceful
in repose; his body straight and arrowy; his chest
prominent; his head erect and noble,-wlth its
eye of piercing depth, and the broad, high, COM
manding forehead from which the straight ebony
hair receded, leaving il in bold relief. His stat.
ure, his mien, his majestic symmetry of form and
feature, all proclaimed him one of Nature's no.
blemen. 1t was the selG-sacrifcing hostage, Ho'
late Fixico. Upon bench, with his head lean
ing against the massive trunk Of a towering mag
noIia, and his fine limbs manacled and fettered
was the elder of the captive warriors, who hac
pre-eminently sgnalized himself by his during
and resolute defence,--a last relic Of a ceebra
ted tribe-Pushmataha. His arms were folded
on his breast and his eyes raised towards the
heavens, with firm resignation. There was nc
fear, no quaing in that heroic look, but serene
calm composure,--the magnanimity Of martyr
Prostrate on the sod at his feet, his mother and
sister, who had come in with the messenger
were lying in tears;-the mother in hopeless
grief at the doom Of her last--her only son; hel
face distorted with agonizing emotions: and then
the long and beautiful hair of the Indian girl
Nathceola-veiling, with its luxuriant tresses
her fine moulded features--- lovely even in hope
lessness. There was a mute pleading in those
helpless female faces, more irresistible than au
dible suppcalion. And evenin the midst of thei
grief and sorrowing, those prostrale applicants
at the feet Of the devoted victim, IN their lowy
posture, and unstudled needless attitudes of woe
betrayed the winning grace and elegant mould
ing of unsophistcated Nature.
The commander approached, with his retinue
of epaueued officers contrasting slngulary
with these wild children of Nature. Pausing neal
