stand upon the rivers verge,
Its waves break at my feet;
And can the roar of this dark surge
Sound in my ear SO sweetl
Higher and higher swells its wave,
Nearer the pillows come;
And can dark and lonely grave
Outweigh a long loved homei
IT'S not alone the pillows roar
That falls upon my ear;
But music from yon lnr-cfi shore
Is waited sweet and clears
For angel harps are tuned to cheer
My iatering human faith,
And angel tongues ore chanting there
Triumphll hope in death.
Though dim and faltcring grow my sight,
1t rests not on the grave;
1t sees land in glory bright
Beyond the darkening wave;
The gales that toss lis crest of foam
Come from that far-of shore,-
They whisper of another home
Where parting is no more.
The everlasting hills arise,
Bright in immortal bloom;
The radiance OF those sunny skies
Iumines cen the tomb;
And glorious ON those hills of light
| see my own abodc,--
Fen now its turrels are in sight
The city OF our God!
Loved faces look upon me now,
And well.known voices speak!
O! when they left me long ago,
Thought my heart would break!
They bcckon me to yonder Strand,
Their hymns of triumph swell,
see my own, my kindred band,
Earth home, and time, farewell!
Welcome, the waves thatbear me DER
Though dark and cold they BE-!
To gain my home on yonder shore
I'll brave them joyously,
The snowy, blood wash'd robe I'll wear
The palm OF victory!
Welcome, the waves that waft me there,
Though dark and cold they be!

NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1855


tfrom the Ecbraskian August L.
The circumstances N related by Mrs. Porter are
az follows:-Demarse and Porter during the week
had been out Bell Creek, about four miles below
Fontepelle, engaged in breaking prairie. The wife
OF Mr. Porter accompanied her husband to do the
cooking for the party. On Saturday evening they
set out to to Fontenee to spend the Sabbath but
were oyertaken by thunder storm which came up
suddenly that evening, and in consequence Of the
darkness, were obliged to camp when within about
one mile Of Fontenelle. The party remained in
camp until about ten o'clock on the following
morning, VIXEN hearing the report of gun
in the vicinity Of small lake near by, and think
ing some Of their Fontenelle friends were
there in quest Of game, Demaree and Porter star
ted in that direction. They had proceeded but
short distance when they were met by party Of
some fifteen Sioux Indians, who at first appeared
friendly and shook hands with them; but suddenly
ole Of the Indians approached Dcmarree and snatch
ed off his cap. The Indians then discharged their
guns at pemarre and Porter, killing them both in
stantly. Mrs. Porter, who was close by, rushed to
the PROSTATE body Of her husband. when an Indian
struck her with spear wounding her severely IN
the hip. How she escaped with her life, she does
not know but certain it is that she made her way to
FOntenele and gave the alarm. The citizens imme-
diatey racd but before they could reach the scene
of the outrage the savages had made good their
treat, taking with them the scalp of Demaree and
the tent a. camp fixtures of their victims.
The militia has been ordered out by the Governor
tosprotect the settlements, and much excitement
prevails.
