accompanied did in theirs. At the margin o.
the lake she embarked with the troops, and
went al far as Bass Island. But when offered a
passage over into Canada. She obstinately refused
to embark second time. Some of the men at-
tributed her conduet to constitutional scruples,
and observed that she knew it was contrary to
the Constitution to force militia pig over the
line. She therefore had leave to remain.
After the campaign had closed, the troops re-
crossed the Lake, having lett some of their
horses on the American side As soon as the
line was formed, to the great surprise of the
troops, there was the pig Oh the right of the
line, ready to resume her march with the rest.
BY this time the winter frosts had set in, and
the animal suffered greatly on the homeward
march. She made out, however, to reach Mays
Vi lc, where the troops recrcsscd the Ohio river.
There she gave out. and was placed in tlusty
hands hy Governor Shelby, and finally taken to
the Governors home, WhefSshe passed the rest
of her days in ease and Incidence.
There are many in Kentucky who can now
attest the truth of this remarkable story

TRIM THE LAMP.


Thou that hast the beaten oil,
Earth is darkly lying
Over all its weary moil,
Light by light is dying.
Hear the weeping Of the Bride,
''Trim the lamp at eventide."
Der the moaning wild we chase
Voices thin and yellow;
Darkness cometh down apace,
Shadowy forms we follow;
Faith by iainting hope is tried
"Trim the lamp at eyentlde."
Fades the day Ger ncean's breast,
Distant isles are DINNER;
Round us broods a strange unrest,
Der US, ftful glimmer.
Thou, OF israel's ark the guide,
''Trim the lamp at eventide."
Deep within the western sky
Fires of wrath are streaming;
Round the cloud-rim, leaping high,
Lights of doom are cleaning.
From thy arch of glory glide;
"Trim thy lamp at eventide."
Foe in garb of friend appears,
Trusted in our sorrow;
Come, dispeller of our fears,
Bring the promised morrow;
Or, if still the night we hide,
"rrim the lamp at eveniide."
AraTat and Zion wear
A sepulchral covering;
Asshur sees, with shuddering stare,
Magog's eagle lowering.
Thou that tamed'st Asshur's pride,
''Trim the lang at eyentide.D
Startled from her sleep, the Queen,
Bahel's Queen, is shrieking;
lIark from Alp to Appenine
Terror's voice is speaking;
Come from Bethel's shady side
"Trim the lamp at eventide."
