The New Call for Volunteers.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

Listen, young heroes your country is calling
Time strikes the hoar for the brave and the true
Now, while the foremost are fighting and falling.
Fill up the ranks that have opened for yoa
You whom the fathers made free and defended,
Stain not the scroll that embazoas their fame
You whose fair heritage spotless descended.
Leave not your children a birthright Of shame ,
Stay not for questions while Freedom stands gasp
ing,
Wait not till Honor lies wrapped in his pail
Brief the lips meeting be. swift the hands clasp
Of Tor the wars" is enough for them all.
Break from the arms that would fondly earess you
Hark It's the bugle-blast sabres drawn,
Mothers shall pray for you, fathers shall bless you.
Maidens shall weep for you when you are gone!
Never or row cries the blood of a nation,
Poured on the turf where the red rose should
bloom;
Now is the day aud the hour of salvation
Never or now peals the trumpet of doom,
Never or now roars the hoarse-throated cannon,
Through the black canopy CLOTHING the skies;
Never or now flaps the shell blasted pennon.
Der the deep ooze where the Cumberland lies
From the foul dens where our brothers are dying,
Aliens and foes in the laud of their birth,
From the rank swamps where our martyrs are lying,
Pleading in vain for a handful of earth
From the hot plains where they perish outnum-
bered,
Fnrrowed and ridged by the battle-feld's plough,
Comes the loud summons; too long you have SUM
bered,
Hear the last Angeltrump-Nevero or Now,

were perched upon the summit Of the tree, be
meath which the devoted victim sat, whilst
several large Pariah dogs were proving around
all attracted BY the noisome effinvia arising
from the putrid corpse The appearance Of
the woman was greatly altered for the worse.
She seemed to be quite intoxicated her eyes
rolled, and her manner was quite different from
what it was on the preceding day. Her long
dishevelled hair foated in the breeze, and she
reminded me of the fabled Ilecate In the
course of the night she had been allowed some
bhang, which produces the same effect as
opium, and is very much liked by the natives
generally.
To reason with her in this state, was impos-
sible. About eleven O'Clock the brother re-
turned with the perwhanna, duly signed by the
magistrate. The pile was soon 10 readiness ;
it was about seven feet long and five broad
and raised about five feet from the grouod,
composed of dry billets laid across each other,
and kept in place by strong stakes driven in
the ground the interstices were filed with
flax aud shavings dipped in oil, and two large
bands of fax were laid across the pile. As
she walked boldly towards it, l attempted TO
gain her attention once more but the Brah
Minis were become very insulting and violent
Having proceeded seven times round the pile,
during which time she had given parched rice
and several little ornaments 10 her surrounding
relatives and friends she boldly clambered up.
and frantlcally cast herself upon the putrid
corpse already deposited there. The two bands
of flax were Immediately drawn tightly round
both the bodies and tied fast together; many
large dry biIlets were then piled upon them to
great hight, and flax cast in between every
layer then over the whole a kind of liquid
butter was poured in abundance and lest the
poor victim should, on feeling the fire. make
her escape, two large bamboos were fixed in
the ground, on one side of the pile, and, being
bent over, were held down tightly by men on
the other side, so that the escape of the woman
was rendered impossible. Soon as this was
completed, which was done in very short
time, light was placed in the hand of the
eldest child, and this poor suppliant for his
mothers life was constrained to walk round the
pile seven times, and then to set light to some
flax beneath the heads of his dead father and
living mother. The pile was instantly in a
blaze, and the noise of the tomtoms and
screams Of the multitude quite drowned the
cries of the poor widow, except to those who
were close to the pile. But l heard scream
from that fire which shall never forget it
was cry of horrible anguish and entreaty for
liberation. But in a few minutes the cry
ceased, and shortly after nothing but heap of
burning embers was seen on the spot.
