o.
Aeteon, who in times of old,
Was called a hunter skilled and bold,
Once rashly yenttued to intIude
On Diani's virgin solitude,
Became q stag beneath her frown, 9
And By his hounds was hunted down.
So men of mark, in later days,
Have dared TO take forbidden ways,
And eager in the hunt for spoil,
Invaded Freedoms sacred soil, -
Cheering their motley followers on
To seize the land for slavery won.
Lo, Freedom at the insult turns,
And back the bold intruder spurns,
Thus the Archangel from his post,
Repelled the Heaven-inyading host
Hence TO your own polluted sod
Tkis soil shall nc'cr by slaves be trod,
= Awed by her look Of stern command,
Dismaysd. perplexed. the leaders stand,
But the feree throng they've hisl or bot,
Baked of the ready prey they've sought,
Turn on these guides tleir soutleIn ire,
And visit them with vengeance dire.
Held by the " State rights" troop at bay.
See him who warrcd for squatter sway
In vain the :. Union" calls them back,
While the :. Enquirer cheers the track.
Alas for thee, for who shall dare
Thy risks TO run, thy fate 20 share.
Like him who viewed in deadly fray,
The reptile and the beast Of prey,
Nor cared which side the victory won,
We watch the battle just begun;
The fight is free, the field is large.
Lay on Macduff!' n charge, Chester,

THE Hour OF DEATH 1t is an old
superstition that the hour from twelve to
one, is of all the twenty -four, that in which
the weary tale of life begins to ebb, and
the freed spirit to take its mysterious
flight from earth. Night for shadowy
attendant and Heaven right in sight, and
the jar of the world hushed to softest
murmur, it would seem fitting time for
so solemn manumission. But it is shown
by actual observation that this cannot be
true-that on the contrary, fewer deaths
occur IN that hour, upon the average. than
in any other of revolving time. 1t was
a queer question so ask the Past, what
hour does Death love best 2" but it has
been boldly done, and the answer is intel
ligible. The grim Prince does not delight
most in darkness, but in the sweet hour OF
morning from five to six. Strange to say.
it is then forty per cent above the aver
age, while at midnight, it is eighty three
per cent. below.
He begins in the morning his noiseless
round-how the stars of life go out as the
sun approaches tie meridian-from three
to ten. Even Death wearies and rests
and from ten to three, the lingering ling
er-the fame is Pickering still
Strange, isn't it?-that Death should
have hfs hours-that speaking in the gen
eral, it is not that
death has all seasons for his own"

over the animal, and which they use gen.
orally to stop rather than geade the horse.
This has great power IN arresting the
speed of a horse, though it is extremely
dangerous to use too freely as guide. in
terfering too much with the freedom of
his limbs for the certainty of his feet and
security of his rider
When the Indian, then, has directed
the course of his steed to the animal
which he has selected, the training of the
horse is such that it knows the object of
It's riders selection, and exerts every mus
Gle to give it close company, while the
halter lies loose and untouched upon its
neck, and the rider leans quite forward
and off from the side of his horse. with his
bow drawn, and ready for the deadly sport.
which is given the instant he is opposite
to the animals body.
The horse. being instinctively afraid of
the animal (thousa he generally brings
his rider within the reach of the end Of
his bow,) keeps his eye strained upon the
furious enemy he is so closely encounter
ing; and the moment he has approached
to the nearest distance required, and has
passed the animal, whether the shot is
given or not, he gradually sheers offs to
prevent coming on to the horns of the in
furiated beast, which often are insts ntly
turned and presented for the fatal recep-
ton of its too familiar attendant. These
frightful collisions often take place, not
withstanding the sagacity of the horse,
and the caution of its rider; for in these
extraordinary land inexpressibe1 exhiler-
ations of chase which seem to drown the
prudence alike of instinct and reasoning.
both horse and rider often seem rushing
on to destruction, as if it were mere pas
time and amusement.
The lasso is long thong of raw hide.
of ten or fifteen yards in length. made of
several braids or twists, and used chiefly
to catch the wild horse. which is done by
throwing over their necks a moose which
IS made at the end of the lasso, with which
they are :" choked down" In running
the buffaloes, or in time of war, the lasso
drags on the ground at the horses feet,
and sometimes several rods behind, so
that, if a man is dismounted, which is Of
ten the case, by the tripping or stumbling
of the horse, he has the power of grasping
to the lasso, and, by stubbornly holding
on to 1t, of stopping and securing bis
