Falling Leaves.

All night. through eie windy darkness
And gusts OF the chilly rain,
The shivering leaves come tapping
50 light at my window pane.
All day, through the clear, cool sunlight,
Where yelloWinS el.ns turn brown.
Like DsnAs'S golden shower
Their Eavering fakes sail down
From hills where the un.steeped woodlands
Are strained by the lashing gale,
They pour over frozen mesdoWs
In radiant storms ofhaiL
In ruts OF the soddsn highways
At luli OF the winds they fail:
They lodge In the barberry bushes
They dria By the pasture wall.
Down paths Of deserted graveyard
They eddy and spin and glide;
On eoves Of the la1d-lorked waters r1
Their anchorieSs shslloPs ride.
Alone on the shsyen upland
climb till the world Is wide,
And mark how the Wailing forests
Resound like surgiEs tide.
POOr trees, we may gTieFe together
That Summer the Queen fs dead;
Soy shah repeat the sp.eador
she poured on fair young head.
No suns. in the pomp Of morning. &
Will kindle the skies Ike these;
No moons. with Soffer glory.
Shsll traverse the passing seas
Then MORN for the fallen treaSurez
That June will restore to you;
laugh in my bosom crushing
sweet dreams that no springs renew.

THE EVENT WE CELEBRATE.

From Elisha Whittleseys Address prepared
for former celebration of Colonel Croghan' s
victory, we make the following brief extracts
pertinent to the period. Ifspace did not forbid,
we should gladly quote much meTe extensively
from that interesting source:
The enemy knew General Harrison's force
and condition. Tecumseh was station ed with
his 1000 braves, to prevent Gen. Harrison from
marching 10 the relief of the Fort General
Harrison knew this and his prudence profit
ed by it. He can only be justified in not
marching 10 the relief of Major Croghan, on the
ground, he could not reach him, or that his sup
plies would be destroyed if he left Seneca.
Pause for a moment and consider the dispar-
ity of the contending forces, and their weapons
Of war. and means of destruction The one
in Stockade, manned by one hundred
and sixty men, with only one piece of
Ordnance, a six FOUNDER, and the other,
having five hundred veteran troops with
five six Founders, and howtzers-eight hun.
dred Indians present, and two thousand within
hailine distance, who might be brought to the
spot by the clarion yell of brave.
The cannonading commenced by the British,
soon after Major Croghan ordered Ensign Shipp
to return to the Fort, from their Gun Boats, by
six Founders, and on land by howitzer. The
six FOUNDER in the Fort rarely spoke-striking
in occasionally, to try its voice, and to advise
the enemy, that all were not killed: Major
Croghan had only small supply of ammu-
milton, and what he had, he intended to use for
effect, and not for display. .,t.i
The enemy landed the remaining cannon
from the Gun Boats on the night of the lst, and
aimed his fire at the Northwest angle of the
Fort. Major Oroghan, to resist an attempt to
storm it, strengthened that point. Captain
