TECUMsEH.-Ths celebrated Indian chief who fell
in the battle of the Thames during the last war with
Great Britain was the sworn foe of the Americans.
Indeed, he detested the whole white as heartily
as Carthagenian Hannibal did the Romans and he
became the ally of England, because he was thus af-
forded better opportunity to wreak his vengeance
on the descendants of those who had taken possession
of the soil which rghtfully belonged to the red man,
and who were rapidly sweeping the Indian from the
face of the earth. Tecumseh was endowed with
courage which is not of the most prominent char
acteristics Of the North American Indian he also
possessed mind Of uncommon vgor, and in his gen
era character as well as in his impacable hatred to
the whites, he resembed the celebrated Sachem
Philip of Mount Hope. We have heard little
anecdote of Tecumseh, which will serve better than
a volume of description to depict the character of
this extraordinary man.
A short time before the battle of Tippecanoe,
talk was held between General Harrison and Tecum-
sch. The General arrived first at the appointed
place, which was an open spot carpeted with green
asward, and covered only by the canopy of heaven.
He was accompanied by his suite, arrayed in rcgi-
mentas and presenting gay and imposing appear
ance. Soon AFTER Teumseh approachen the spot,
clothed in splendid Indian military costume, which
was well calculated to display his athletic FORM His
manner was not that of suppliant. His bearing
was as naughty as if worlds were at his disposal ;
and as he advanced towards the spot where Harrison
awaited him, his step firm, his form erect, with
the head slightly thrown back, his features stern and
rigid and his nosrils distended like those of the
horse when he scents the battle from alar Indeed
his whole appearance was that of one who asks no
favor, but who goaded on by contempt and hatred
breathes nought but defiance to his enemies
AS Tecumseh proudly approached General Harr-
son rose tn receive the Chief and pointing to bench
prepared for the purpose, said "Your white father
requests you to be seated"
Tecumseh cast upon the American General look
of unmitigated scorn and indignation. You my
father? said he "No. The Sun pointing to that
luminary in the heavens) is my father! The earth
(pointing to the ground is my mother! and Throw
ing himself on the ground,) will rest no where but
on her bosom!"
The annals of Roman or Grecian history will
hardly furnish reply to equal in grandeur and SUBJ
Unity, this of the untutored Indian.

LIEUTENANT LUFF.
RY THOMAS HOOD.
All of you that are fond of wine

All of you that are fond of vine,
Or any other stuff,
Take warning by the dismal fate
Of one Lieutenant Luff;
n Asober man he might have been,
:. Except in one regard: --
He did not like soft water,
But took to drinking hard. r--t-
Said he "Let other fancy slops,
And talk in praise of tea;
But am no Bohemian,
So do not like Bohea;
If wines poison, so is tea,
Though another shape;
What matter whether one is killed
By canister or grape?"
According to this kind of taste
Did he indulge his drouth,
And being fond Of Port, he made
port-hole of his mouth;
A single pinch he might have slipped,
And not been out of sorts;
In geologic" phrase, the rock
He split upon was quartz
Full soon the sad effects of this
His frame began to show,
For that old enemy, the gout,
Had taken him in toe;
And joined with this an evil came
OF quite another sort;
For while be drank himself, his purse
Was getting something short"
For want of cash he soon had pawned
0ne-haif that he possessed
And drinking showed him duplicates
Beforehand of the rest
So now his creditors resolved
To seize on his assets;
For why, they found that his half pay
Did not half pay his debts.
But Luf' contrived novel mode
His creditors to chouse;
For his own execution he
Put into his own house;
A pistol to the muzzle charged,
He took devoid of fear;
Said he. "This barrel is my last,
So now for my last bier"
Against his lungs he aimed the slugs,
And not against his brain;
So he blew out his lights, and none
Could blow them in again;
A jury for a verdict met,
And gave it in these terms:
eve find as how as certain sugs
Has sent him to the worms"
