reaoRing the pickets in safety, amid tie
shouts Of his friends, he was struck by a
ball in, his breast Believing, from the pain
he felt, that it had penetrated his chest,
turning to Adjutant (now Gen.) McCalla,
one of his Lexington comrades, and pressing
his hand to the spot, he said, Il fear this
shot is mortal, but while'I am able to move,
I will do my duty" To the anxious in
quiries of this friend, who met him soon af-
terward again, he opened his vest, with a
smile, and showed him that the ball had
spent itself on the thick wadding of his coat
and on. his breastbone. He suffered, how
ever, for many weeks.
= The little band within the pickets, which
Winchester had surrendered, after being
carried himself a prisoner into Proctor S
camp, denied his'powers. They continued to
hold the enemy at bay until they were ena-
bled to capitulate on honorable terms,
which, nevertheless, Proctor shamefully
violated, by leaving the sick and wounded
who were unable to walk to the tomahawk
of his allies. Butler, who Was among the
few of the wounded who escaped the massa-
ere, was marched through Canada to Fort
suffering under his wound, and
every privation oppressed with grief, hun
ger, fatigue, and the inclement cold Of that
desNate region. Even here he forgot HIM
self, and his mind wandered back to the
last night scene which he surveyed on the
bloody shores of the river Raisin. He gave
up the heroic part, and became the school
boy again, and commemorated his sorrows
for his lost friends in verse, like some pass
ionate, heart-broken lover. These eleg aic
strains were never intended for the eye of
any but mutual friends, whose sympathies,
like his own, poured cut tears: with their
plants over the dead. We give some of
these lines of his boyhoCd, to show that the
heroic youth had a bosom mot less kind than
brave.

So wild, so soft, so sweet strain!

The Poet of France, the author of the Mar
seIlaisel They are the observed in France;
known to all, and sought after by all. A Pans
ian correspondent of the New York Courier thus
refers TO them:
Among the most efiicientpromoterso Of the Rev
olution in France were two men, one of whom
the world has seldom seen, the other as seldom
heard Of In that spectacle, the most imposing
which Paris has witnessed for hall century,
the burial Of the victims Of Febnary-might be
seen walking abreast with the Provisional Gov
eminent, little bald-headed, humble looking
old man, whose whole mieI denoted one unac-
customed to the pomp and circumstance of such
scenes. He had no badge of office, no mark Of
distinction; yet there was not a man IN that vast
crowd Of half million, who had better right
to place among the rulers OF the land. IL was
the poet Beranger; he whose simple Tyre had,
for more than thirty years, welded greater in
fuence than all the magistenal truncheons in
the kingdom.
The Tyre was frst strung at the taking Of the
Bastile; and under Napoleon, Louis XVIII,
Charles X, and Louis Philippe, it never ceas-
ed 20 ring ont indignant strains against oppres-
sion, that filed TO the centre every true-bom
heart in the nation. The seluctlOns Of power
could not hull it; the damps of the dungeon
could not slacken lis golden cords. BerangeT
said truly in the preface of one Of his published
works, le peRple C ea ma muse.
The Unborn rights and natural brotherhood Of
man have been his uniiom themes, and his IN
vacations have always been to the noblest in
stincts, emotions and passions OF the human
soul. For more thin generation has France
echoed with BeraIger's melodies. They have
been the lullabies of infancy, thecarols of child
hood, the stirring odes OF lnsty prime, and the
genial lays Of declining age. The Piano and
the forge have alike chimed, and the pavement
and the hearth stone have nike vibrated, with
their magic measures.
The whole people have been in manner edu
Gated and inspired by their Influences; and They
have not forgotten the brave old minstrel IN the
day of Their triumph. They are about to drag
him from his humble country retreat 10 seat in
the great Council Hall OF the nation. He has
pleaded hard to be excused; but the gratitude OF
the people win not be denied. Befangerwlli be
clothed with the senatorial purple, though he
shrinks from the nte OF the Candidate.
The Other individual TO whom alluded IS Hoo-

get de Lisle, an obscure lieutenant OF the artil-
lery, who, one night in 1892, in the city Of Stras-
burg, composed a song which has been worth
more to the cause OF French freedom than a hum
bred thousand bayonets. For more than fifty
years II has been the De PrefpHdis OF Kings,
ami the pipat OF liberty. As the ramparts OF
Ihebes sprung into existence at thesouad Of Am
phion's lutte, so the bancsdes Of Pans leap
from the earth at the first burst OF La MarssiI-
laias. In times of monarchy, kings SUPPRESSED

lectlons. II lies there like a smOuldering fire.
orand-al the more for its being pent up,

soul; and when at last it finds vent, il blazes
out with a violence that is sure 10 envelope the
whole land in one vast confagration. But the
Marseillaise is not only the tocsin OF revolution:
Il Is the eanticlc Of national deliverance. Its
notes may even now be heand from one end
OF Republican France TO the other. In all places
OF public entertainment, il is made the great OBJ
