1t is stated that the committee appointed
to draw up the constitution has decided
unanimously upon theexpediency of having
but one Chamber and single President,
both the result of direct popular election by
universal suffrage. Whether the duration
of the Chamber and the President is to be
three or four years, is not determined. The
number of members to the Chamber is also
undecided, but it said the President will he
incapable of reelection, and must have at
least two million votes. The committee
will probably conclude its labors in about

CHAPTER I.
Lo the poor Indian ="
BY ST. MAR.

In the township of Nelson, Portage coun-
ty, Ohio, there is long range or ledge of
rocks, indented with numerous caverns,
which were formerly the abode of Indians.
The course of this chain of rocks is north
and south, and many of them rise perpen-
dicularly to the height of hundred feet or
more, the summit being crowned with the
largest species of oak and chestnut trees
From cavern of extraordinary dimensions,
near the northern extremity of the ledge,
there issued a stream of water, remarkable
alike for its clearness and its GOODNESS, wind
ing its serpentine course through the rich
bottom lands which stretched away for many
leagues to the southeast, until it was lost in
the Ohio. Numerous mounds along the
banks of this stream marked the burial pla-
ces of the Indians, where, perhaps, had been
deposited, for centuries, the fallen chieftains,
braves and warriors of the tribe.
On the highlands, extending backwards
towards the setting sun, where now may be
seen temples dedicated to the worship of the
christians God, white walled school houses.
with their crowded inmates, the stately
abodes of wealthy farmers, their numerous
fields covered with focks and herds, and
yearly teeming with rich harvests, lay the
boundless wilderness-the Indians Inherit
ance.
The unbroken forests Of America were,
indeed, glorious heritage, worthy Of being
preserved, even at the peril of blood and
life.
When the whites first commenced their
feeble settlements on the rock bound coast
of New England, each lofty forest tree, each
rolling river and cloud cap'd hill, seemed to
the Indians to be inscribed with the long
chronicles of their tribes, the glory of their
present possessions, and they might finally
bear their epitaphs-and be in the possession
of the pale faces, mementoes only Of their
former existence. The scene Of our story
was the theatre Of Indian massaeresl they
fought for the land their fathers had lived
on, where they had died, and whose graves
were then visible on every nil top, and in
leyery valley.

LANCASTER, WISCONSIN, SATURDAY, JANUARY 5, 1S4s

These graves are no longer visible, and
the only monuments of the red men, who
once inhabited that part of the country, are
the blackened walls of those rocky cavens.
Yet, even to this day, there is so much in
terest clinging around the remembrance of
the Indians, that those caverns are. visited
by the present inhabitants with almost as
much veneration and respect for their menu
DRY as the Mussulman visits the grave of the
prophet.
Travellers seek for the ruins of Babylon,
Persepolis and Palmyra, with great deal
their history demonstrates the fulfillment of
prophecy, as, that they are monuments of
generations, and races of men who lived
ages ago. So, too, the broken walls of
Druidical temples, and the runous heaps
of Stonehenge are interesting, both because
they are the monuments of other ages, and
the relics of people no longer in exist
Ience.
Thus it will soon be in regard to all that
relates to the Aborigines of America; they
will be sought for with as much interest by
future generations, as are the ruins of an
Client cities in the old world, and will be sub
Ijects of poetry and romance throughout all
time.
1t is, perhaps, to be lamented that so little
pains have been taken to preserve Indian
memorials. Their grave yards have been
ploughed over, and their bones have been
left to lie on the surface and bleach in the
sun, and the loitiest, most laborous and mys-
terious mounds by them erected, have been
ruthlessly levelled to the earth, their signifi-
cant names for streams, and sites for towns,
have been changed, and no one would know,
from the face of the country, that it was once
inhabited by another race of men.

POETRY.
The Dying spaniard's Charge.

BY MISS L. E. LANpoN.
My gasping breath, feel thee fail;
My gallant boy, draw near
Brush off the dew that dims thy mail
For shame, it is tear !
Here, take my sword as yet the brand
Has never missed its blow;
God prosper it IN thy young hand
Against the Moslem foe!
Lift up my head-my parting gaze
On wonder vale would be,
Facing the red suns fading rays,
l speak my last to thee.
Look thou upon the plain below
With field and vineyard spread;
And glory like the mornings glow,
Around yon city's head.
A thousand shrubs in blossom wreathe
Round fountains bright and clear;
L almost fancy can Dredthe
Their gushing fragance here.
Then mark the rock on which we lie,
The eagles rough domain;
Its barren earth, its sullen sky
Then look below again.
That valley is thy heritage
Could Eden be more fair!
Although an exile in my age,
spent my boyhood there.
Ours was the shame, and ours the loss;
Carnage and conquest spread;
The Crescent triumphs DER the Cross
Well may thy cheek glow red.
Still have few in warfare stood
Around the mountain brow:
have not spared my strength and blood
And am dying now:
But other better days are thine
My hopes are proud and high,
And clearly does the future SHINE
Before deaths closing eye.
see the gallant red cross wave,
| see the MosIems yield;
hear the war cry of the brave
Haste, boy, and join til, field!
Here make my grave; and haunting here
My spirit will remain,
Till vanquished by the Christian spear,
The Moors have fled from Spain.
