Seleeted goetry,
ReveIry in East India.

The following remarkable poem APP
peared originally, tits believedin the st.
Helena Magazine, and was afterward
copied in the London Spectator and
other journals. 1t will be new TO
most readers. II relates to the early
service Of English officers in India
when the army was moved down by
pestilence. When Mr.. Macaulay's ac-
count of the effects of smallpox in
England is remembered, ,as it describes
the separation of brothers, sisters and
lovers, it will be seen that this poem
gives, with wonderful eject, what is
far nobler however painful, the very
poetry of military despair, but still the
dying together OF brothers in arms
We meet meath the sounding rafter
Ana the walls around are bare,
As they shout to our peals Of laughter
IL seems that the dead are tlcre.
But stand TO your glasses steady,
We drink to our comrades eyes,
Qunf cup To the dead already;
And hurrah for the next that dies.
Not here are the goblets glowing
Not here 10 the vintage sweet;
It's cold, Ms cur b, arts are growing
And dark the doom meet
But stard 10 your glasses, steady
And soon shall 0ar puises rise

The Rebel Ram Albemarle.

New YoRK, May 15.-Interesting
details of the late attack upon the
rebel ram Albemarle are contained in
the Herald's correspondence from on
board the Sassacus. The ram came
down the Roanoke river, accompanied
by two other steamers, on the alter
noon of the 9th inst, the Miami and
our picket boats falling back upon
them. One of the rebel steamers on
seeing the Mattabesset, Sassacus and
Wyalusing ranging towards the ram,
turned about and skedaddled. Our
three gunboats made for the ram, and
her remaining consort, the Mattabes-
set, giving her full broadside, fol-
lowed by the other two, who gave her
the same dose, but no damage was
perceptible to the ram. The consort
was captured by broadside from the
Sassacus, and was anchored. The
Sassacus was then got under head
way of 10 to IL knots, andran on the
ram, striking her fairly amidships on
the starboard, forcing her side down
so that the water flowed over hpr
deck. She was thus kept, the Sassa-
Gus pushing her before her in hopes
to bring her ports under water, or, at
least, to keep her foul until one of the
other vessels could attack her on the
opposite side. If this could have been
done she would have been captured,
as she, could not use her guns at all.
The Sassacus kept up constant fire
upon her and put two shots into her
forward port. She finally worked
clear of the Sassacus, and the first
shot from her-the muzzle almost
touching her bow entered abait the
stern and passed through the vessel.
The second went nearly through the
vessel diagonally from the starboard
side clean through the starboard boil
er and engine room, smashing things
generally. The steam filled the ship
instantly, but the men kept TO their
posts like heroes, our guns firing con-
tinually into her open ports Hand
grenades were thrown into hor, and
our men, who were stationed to repol
boarders, poured in such a murderous
musketry fro as to dr..s-cc the rebels
from their guns and compelled her to
close her ports. The traitors fng
was shot away. The ram rotreated
and was pursued by the other vescels
with an incessant fire untilnight

A MERlIED FATE.
Bf EDWARD 5. ELLIS.

At the close of the last century, a
Spanish trader settled among the In
dians at the base of the Green Noun
tains. He married a squaw, and for
a number of years lived very pleasant
ly, according to his ideas OF life, i'll
harmony with his vilainous associates.
His adopted tribe being very power
ful, this trader went TO levylng black
mail upon some of the provinces in
the Santa Fe province. This he car
.ried to such an extent that he became
an object OF eXecration to the settlers,
and on one oi his visits he was taken
prisoner and hung by the incensed
people.
He left behind him besides his
wife and child, quite an amount of
property, which was "coniiscated," +"
that is, the tribe appropriated it to
their own use, and turned the widow
and her offspring adriit. After wan
dering homeless and despairing for a
long time, she f. II in with a good ma
tured trapper, who, after short and
decisive courtship, married her. AS
time passed on, the young half-breed
grew to maturity, and manifested q
wonderful aptitude for learning Ian
guages, frequently acquiring IN lndi-
an tongue in the course of few
weeks. When young man, his
mother died, and his father, remem-
bering the pleasant hours he had
spent years before among the civilized
portion of our country, resolved to re-
turn.
Accordingly he set out for St.
Louis, accompanied by the young
half-breed, for whom he entertained a
strong affection. Here they remained
several months, when the son having
acq ired practical knowledge Of the
English language, his step-iather set
out With him to pay visit to the
Usage Indians. This young half
breed seems to have inherited the quail
tiles which had rendered his father
famous, for, while upon this expedi-
ton, he murdered his step-iaiher,
took his horse, rifle, and accoutre
ments, and set up business for him
self This unnatural crimo was not
attributed to him for long time, and
when it was discovered. neither he
nor any one else cared anything about
it, so that he entertained no fears at
all of any punishment from human
hands.
1t was his custom to wander from
tribe to tribe, leading an indolent
aimiess life, which, to him was the
perfection of all human enjoyment
His extensive knowledge of the Indi-
an tongues rendered him soyaluable to
the different tribes in their barters
the white traders, that he was suf-
fered to do as he pleased, no ono
questioning, or oven noticinghis many
shortcomings. The different traders
seeing him now with the Crows, then
with the Sioux, or Pawnees, named
him 'Turn Over" which appelation
itself turning over, came to be "Over-
turn" and finally be was known
among tho Americans as Col. Ovoton,
which name remained BY him xutil
his death.

IHE BIO IREE OF CALIFORNrA. In
an article by Fitzhugh Ludlow, in tho
June atlantic, we find this accurate
and vivid description Of those giant
trees in California, which are among
the wonders of the Garth:
Take the dry statistics Of the matter.
Out,of one hundred and thirty.two
trees which have been measured, not
one underruns twcnty-eight feet in cir.
cumference; five range between thirty
two and thirty-six feet; ffty-eigh.
between forty and fifty feet; thirty
four between fifty and sixty, fourteen
between sixty and seventy; thirteen
between seventy and eighty two be-
tween eighty and ninety two between
ninety and one hundred; two are just
one hundred and one is just one hun
dred and two. This last before ths
storms truncated it, had height OF
four hundred feet, / found rough
ladder propped against its trunk, for

by that and steps cut in its bark.
mounted the swell of the trunk to the
butt and there made the measurement
which ascertained its diameter as
thirty-fsur feet, its circumference one
hundred and two feet, plus fraction.
Of course the thickness of its bark ia
various, but L cut some to foot in
depth, aud there was evidently plenty
more below that.
To make some rough attempt at
conception to what these figures
amount to, suppose the tree fallen at
the gable of an ordinary two, tory
house. You propose to cross by
plank laid from your roof to the up.
per side Of the tree. That plank
would perceptibly slope up troip your
roof peak. Through another tree
lying prostrate also, and hollow from
end to end, our whole cavalcsdo
charged on full trot for distance
of one hundred and fifty feet. The
entire length Of this tree before trua-
cation had been about three hundred
and fifty feet. In the hollow bases
of trees now standing we easily shell
tered ourselves aud horses. We tried
throwing to the top with ludicrous
success, and finally como to the uon-
arch OF them oil, glorious monster
not included ia this table Of dimen-
sions. Most OF those measured are
still living, and have thu bark upon
them stl, while the tree is to sorne
extent barkod and charred. When il
stood erect in its live wrappiugs it
measured forty feet in dianetor--over
one hundred and twenty feet in cir
cumference! Estimates, grounded
on the well known principle of year.
