the head of the dog, and spoke kindly. The
dog encouraged, laid his paw on his masters
knee, and looked earnestly in his face. Re-
collections arose in the memory of the master,
and he exclaimed, in surprise, "Why, Hero,
are you here?" Hero was so pleased at the
recognition, that he almost leaped on his mas
ter's back. Whether the landlord was inform
ed Of the merits of the case, or not, my inform
ant did not say. At any rate, Hero and his
master were never to separate from that hour.
Hero followed his master in the bedroom, when,
seeing him about to undress, he seized the skirt
of his coat with his teeth, and drew his master
towards a closet. On opening the door, he
discovered the corpse of man suspended
against the wall. He saw his danger, and
made preparations accordingly.
This matter occurred shortly after the return
of the army from America, after the war for
independence. Many of the disbanded soldiers
took to robbing on the highways, and gentlemen
always travelled well armed. He saw that his
four pistols were in right trim, piled every thing
moveable in the room against the door, and sat
down to wait the result. At midnight there
was knock at the door; vial of medicine
which was standing on the mantelpiece was
wanted for one of the family, who was taken
suddenly i'll. Hero growled, as if to say, "There
are two of u.s." Mr. Morton (which was the
gentlemans name) informed the assailant he
was prepared with firearms, and would shoot
the first man that entered. Presently, he dis
tinguished the voices of three men, when, after
some further parley, an axe was sent for to
break in the door. At this critical moment,
the sound of carriage wheels was heard from
afar; the robbers paused; Mr.. II. thrust his
head out of the window, and as the carriage
approached, hallooed at the top of his voice.
They heard his cries and stopped, when the
robbers fled by the back door There were
four men in the carriage. They secured three
women whom they found in the house, and
lodged them in Jail. By their information, the
men were caught soon after, tried, and hung.
The women were banished to Botany Bay for
life. .
On searching the house, several corpses were
found buried in the cellar; and in the rooms
many articles identified that belonged to per-
sons who had disappeared and were never heard
of till this occurrence.
Hero went home with his master, and was
happy dog many years after, when he died and
was buried. A stone, recording the Providen-
tal deliverance, was set up over his bones, and
his portrait hung in the hall, with the family
escutcheons.
The story was published in the newspapers
and periodicals of that day, all over Britain, as
fact beyond controversy.

THE ORPHANS TEAR.

Beside grave, where flowers wild
Supplied the place of flattery's scroll,
There stood a lovely artless child,
As down her cheeks the tear-drop stole.
She knew not then a mothers worth,
But still the name alone was dear,
And the first grief she knew on earth
Was that which caused the orphans tear.
In after years, though fortune smiled,
And every earthly blessing gave,
When mirth and JOY the hours beguled,
A word would of recall that grave.
For when she heard companions say,
That parents words both soothe and cheer,
She felt she lost ife's greatest stay,
When first she shed the orphans tear.

BILE puff of air, not sufficient to draw sound
from the chords of an eolian harp, by the un-
der swell it created, disturbed the equilibrium
Of two immense chain anchors which, with
some heavy guns, had been slowed in the open
ports, and, on account of the calm weather,
had not been secured by tastenings. This
ponderous mass started from its balance by the
motion Of the sea, with lightning speed rolled to
the opposite side of the vessel, and in mo-
ment threw the Royal George upon her side.
One heart-piercing cry of woe from thousand
voices-a sound before which the stoutest sal
lor quailed-rose in frightful dissonance, and
broke upon the startled ears of those in the sur
rounding ships, while echo bore the death wall
to the adjacent coasts, where it rolled along
like thunder peal, deadening the roar of the
surf ard striking with terror the shuddering
inhabitants.
The lofty masts Immediately bowed to the
surface of the sea, which at first, as it were,
overawed by the sudden cessation of the pre-
vailing joy, receded in vide circle, and then
as quickly returned, as if to the execution of a
warks and through the port holes into the in
in all its imposing mass, upon the restoration
for moment of its lost balance through the
settling water, rose erect as if to display in
full majesty the imposing grandeur of its form.
Proudly stretched the lofty masts their extend
ed arms to the blue sky; but the flags and
streamers, already soaked by the overwhelming
sea, hung in loose folds, like emblems of mourn
ing. Now the ship, deeper and deeper sinking,
began, in giddy whirls, horror-striking dance
"a few seconds more, and it shot, with its
hundreds OF human beings, in vain with dead
ly pallid and agonised countenances, imploring
heaven for deliverance, and clinging convul-
sively to the shrouds, into the gaping abyss.
The foaming sea, with loud and terrible gurgle,
forever closed over the black, yawning gulf,
and all was silent!
A few moments suAiced to complete the ter
rife catastrophe. From all the neighboring
vessels, boats were sent out to attempt to save
some Of the drowning hundreds, but the vast
whirlpool caused by the sinking ship, prevent
ed near approach. Only q few Of the most
experienced sailors, who climbed to the top
mast, as the Royal George for the last time,
heaved erect, we're enabled to save themselves
by swimming. All the rest in the midst of a
jubilee of pleasure, fell prey to the yawning

Wastiugtnn Sentinel,
THE AMERICAN FLAG.
by JOSEPH RoDMAN DRAKE.

When Freedom from her mountain height
Unfurld her standard 10 the ar,
She tore the azure robe OF night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky baldric ofthe skies,
And striped its pure, selestial white
With streakings of the morning light.
Then from his mansion in the sun
She call'd her eagle-bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch Of the cloud,
Who rear'st alott thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud
And see the lightning lances driven, ,a s.
When strive the warriors OF the storm,
And roll the thunder-drum of heaven,
Child of the sun! TO thee It's given
To guard the banner of the free,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
To ward away the battle-slroke,
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud OF war,
The harbingers Of victory!
Flag Of the brave thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning on,
Ere yet the liie-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet;
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where the sky-born glories burn;
And as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like sheets Of flame on midnight's pail;
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
A,,1. hol al
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag ofthe seas on ocean wave
Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave
When death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back,
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer ofthe sea
Shall look at once TO heaven and thee,
And smile TO see thy splendors fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home
BY angel hands TO valor given;
Thy stars have lit the weikin dome,
And all thy hues were born in heaven.
Forever float that standard sheet
Where breatles the foe but falls before us,
With Freedoms sod beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming DER us
