a Tale Of the Wilderness.

a Tale of the Wilderness.
MAY Is. 1t was towards the lat
ter end of May that l set out from
New Orleans, with the intention OF
proceeding overland to Savannah
l knew the fatigue should have to
undergo, the delays I should expe-
rience, and the possible dangers
might encounter; but l had heard
and read so much Of what there was
to excite admiration in the regions
through which l should pass, as we'll
as to crafty curiosity in the scenes
of savage life [ should behold, that
willingly consented to pay the
price Of such qualifications. My inn
agination kindled at the thought OF
travrrsinS a space Of many hundred
miles, through gloomy forests of pine,
oak, and cedar, over widespread
swamps, across flooded creeks, and
amid tribes Of Indians, still roaming
their native wilds, proud and fear
less hunters of the woods, or linger-
ing on the confines of barbaric life.
till the full tide of civilization should
sweep away all the ancient land
marks Of their race. My fancy was
bewildered with a thousand dreamy
visions Of strange adventures and of
perilous escapes of romantic hard
ships by night, when camping out in
the woods, and of ceaselesS novelties
by day, to gaze and wonder at, in
the sublime desolation of stupendous
wildernesses. l pictured to myself
the path of the hurricane, sweeping
before it for miles, trees of mightiest
growth, and covering the earth with
their majestic ruins-the fierce wolf,
and the bouncing panther-the rat
tlesnake and the alligator-with all
tina; poetical ardour of mind which
revels in the exciting conceptions of
untired danger. To me there was
something ineApressibly fascinating
in the idea of piunging into tie

The Horse of Hoousan.
BY THOMAS THE RITYMER.

Son Of the night, my noble stecd,
Thou art of noble breed.
Arching neck, and step Of pride,
Fine-cut nostrils, curved and wide,
Melting eye, and glossy coat,
Body round, and heaving throat.
Pointed ears, and ample chest,
High the star upon the crest. .
Forehead broad, and fiat, and high,
Slender leg, and sinewy thy.
HoOf, well-opened, smooth, and round,
Bushy tail that sweeps the ground.
Massive shoulder, waving name,
All denote thy royal strain.
Onward dartins like the wind,
Soon our foes we leave behind.
Soon our horse-hair tent before,
l dismount me at the door.
From thy back the saddle shake.
From thy lips the bride take.
When the barley-cakes deal
Mine and thine alike the meal.
With my little children bred,
Sharing both our food and bed. Pa.
IT'S our honor, sable stccd,
For thou art of royal breed. ~

ture reigned alone; where the breeze
was perfumed with odours scattered
by her hand only-where the spark
ling fire flies danced and glittered
before the travellers eyes like festal
fairy lamps, and where birds of un;
known song and plumage made the
air vocal with their wild melodies; in
short, where man, who in towns and
cities is everything, would be nothing.
Animated with these feelings, and
excited by the anticipation which they
inspired, l left New Orleans any thing
but reluctant to exchange, for time
at least, it's beautiful orange groves
and fertile plains, clothed with rich
vegetation, and the waters. of the
giant stream, the Mississippi-whose
course Of thrice ten hundred miles,
here terminated in bleak pine barrens
and arid sand-hills-for green savan-
nahs, freshets, Lighthouses, wig-wams,
and Indians with their and
scalping-knives. But it is not my
purpose to dwell upon these topics,
neither do l propose to relate all that
befel me on my journey, or describe
all the impressions produced by what
saw. l shall contine myself to the
details Of a single incident.
The moon was shining gloriously,
when, on the 18th night from my
leaving New Orleans, l approached a
deep glen, known by the name of
Murder Creek 1t had received this
fearful appellation in consequence of
tragical event which occurred there
some twenty years ago. A party of
whites, consisting of about thirty per-
sons, including several women and
children, who Were camping out dur
ing the night, We're suddenly sur

Of them butchered and scalped. /
had made a fatiguing days journey
not so much on account Of the dis
lance | had traversed, as from the
circumstance of having met with two
or three large swamps, in which my
horse frequently stuck so fast that l
was afraid l should be compelled to
leave him to his fate, and scramble
my way out, as well as I could, over
trunks of fallen trees. Weary, cold,
wet, (for the day had been hot, the
night was sharp and chilly, and had
waded knee deep through one of the
flooded creeks,) and hungry withal,
l made up my mind to spread my
blanket, kindle my fire, and after
cooking my bacon, and making my
coffee, TO sleep till dawn beneath the
thick branches Of the lofty trees which
orershadowed me. Having secured
my horse by Il little fence Of sapiings,
and given him his supper of Indian
corn leaves, the only substitute for
hay, IA sufficient supply Of which l
had carried behind me tied on his
back l prepared my own my meal
While 1 was eating it with relish
l might have envied. had l been par
tarking of more costly viands, and
watching the beautiful corruscations
of light produced by myriads of fire
flies sparkling evanescent lustre in
the deep gloom of the surrounding
forest, beyond whose surface the
moons pale beams could not pene-

nearly seven feet long, it's tail, which
1 cut off, consisted of twenty joints OF
rattles. I was not sorry I had sue
ceeded in despatching it; for though
my blazing fire was, l knew, sufficient
to protect me from it's near approach,
yet / doubt if / should have COM
posed myself to sleep quite SO COM
fortably, had it escaped into the
thicket.
Alter 1 had finished my supper, and
replenished my fire with fuel, so laid
on as to prevent its burning away too
rapidly, I spread my blanket, arranged
my saddle-bags for bolster and pillow,
and laid me down. But there was,
if l may so express myself, an op-
pressive stiffness around, which kept
me awake for some time. Humboldt
speaks of the deep impression made
by nature whenever man finds him
self in company with her alone; and
this impression had frequently felt
during the day, when, look where l
would, my eyes rested upon no object
which linked me with my fellow
creatures; but, at this moment, it
was not only more intense-it partook
of emotions which, in their character,
were both awful and melancholy
The solitude Of night, even in a
crowded city, is solemnly impressive.
What then must it be, when it
deepens the solitude of the wilder
ness!-when, to the consciousness of
utter loneliness are added that visible
gloom which contracts the boundaries
Of sight, and those audible sounds
which proclaim the surrounding desc
lation! The air was loaded with
these sounds that told the dismal
tale, and fancy clothed them all in its
own livery. AS l lay gazing at the
quiet moon, the trickling murmur of
innummerable springs flowing over
pebbly beds, or through channels
tringed with rank herbage-the din
Of the distant watertalls-the roar of
some cateract-the howl Of the wolf
the deep hoarse croak of the frogs in
the neighboring swamps-and the
drowsy buzz of insects wheeling, hut-
tering, and dancingi in the moonbeams,
seemed to invade my ears with inces-
SAINT and confused repetition. Nor
could l wholly dismiss from my
thoughts all recollection of the event
which had given to the place its
omnibus name-the Murder Creek:
for, not a hundred yards from me, the
blackened stump of tree still marked
the spot which had witnessed the
frightful massacre.
Insensibly, however, sleep began to
steal over me, and l was sinking into
repose, when l heard a rustling among
the bushes, and the quick tread of
feet. turned my head in the direc-
ton of the sound, and saw an Indian
seated on the stump l have just men
toned, gazing steadily at me. l
neither spoke nor moved: and he was
equally silent and motionless. l do
not think that he was aware that l
was awake and looking at him. He
was tall, of robust make, and his
attitude, as he sat, full of that native
grace and dignity which have so fire.
