Naln Orleans 9ailp Grestfrt,
The Pipes At E.uoknovg.
BY JOHN 6. WHITTIER.

1.-THE historical incident, upon which these beat
fiful lines are written occurred during the Sepo
rebellion in the East ladies'. The garrison
Lucknow was surrounded by overwhelming nun
starvation and almost despair, when q ScotC
lassie heard the pipes of Highland regimen
coming to their relief.l
Pipes of the misty moorland,
Voice of the glen and HILL
The drope Of highland torrent,
The song of lowland rill
Not the braes of broom and heather,
Nor the mountains dark with rain,
Nor maidenss bower nor border tower,
Have heard your sweetest strain!
Dear to the loWland reaper,
And plaided mountaineer,
To the cottage and the castle @
Tile Scottish pipes are dear,
Sweet sound the ancient pibrooh,
Der mountain, loch and GLADE;
But sweetest of all music
The pipes at Lucknow played
Day by day the Indian tiger
Tonder Yelled and nearer crept;
Round and round the jungle serpent
Near and nearer circles swept,
g Pray for rescue wives and mothers,
PRAY to-day; y the soldier said,
q For tomorrow deaths betweenus,
And the wrong and shame we dread.H
OIL they listened, looked and waited,
Till their hope became despair,
And the eobs Of low bewailing WA
Filled the pauses of their prayer.
Then upspake the Scottish maiden,
With her ear upon the grounds
e Dinna We hear it dinna ye hear it?
The pipes @ HaVelock sound z
flushed the wounded man his groaning
flushed the wife her little ones;
Alone they heard the drum roll,
nd the roar of the. EanoV;s rims
But to sounds of home and childhood
The Highland ear was true;
g Dinna We hear it 2itis the slogan!
VIII ye no believe it noos
Like the march of soundless music,
Through the vision Of the seer.
More of feeling than Of hearing,
OF the heart than Of the ear,
She knows the droning pibroch,
She knew the Campbell's call
& Hank hear We now McGregor's-
The grandest o. them all I H
3 Oh! they listened, dumb and breathless,
And they caught the sound at last;
Faint and far beyond the Goomtee
Rose and fell the piperis blast
Then burst the wild thanksgiving,
Mingled Woman's voice and mans:
g God be praised-the march of Havelock
IT'S the piping of the clans ~
Sharp and shTill as swords at strife,
Came the wild McGregoris clan call,
Singing all the air to life.
But when the far off dust cloud
10 plaided legions grew,
a Full tenderly and hlithesomely
The pipes Of rescue blew.
Round the silver domes of Lucknow,
Round Red Dowlahis golden shrine,
Bfeafhed the ait to Brit0ns dearest
The air of Aud Lang SYne
Ger the cruel roll of war drums,
Rose that sweet and homelike strain,
And the tartan Glove the turban,
As the Goomtee cleaVes the plain.
Dear Id the lowland reaper
And plaided mountaineer,
70 the cottage and the castle
The pipeFls song is dear.
Sweet sounds the Gaelic pibrocb,
Over mountain, glen and glade,
But sweetest of allmnsic
Ehe pipes Of lucknow played.

GORDON CUMMINGS BUsHMAN.-I In Scotland

famous Bushman, brought home by the late world
renowned lion hunter, Richard Gordon Cumming,
TO his native Inverness, would probably not object
80 enormously as usual to the European clothes

INN 10 wear. The great hunter was scion of an
old family of wealth and standing, his father be-
ing baronet, and the family seat near Inverness,
one of the finest of that part of the country, On
ms last return from South Africa he brought with
him Bushman whom lie had caught in one Of his
trps-a trightfully ugly little creature, to whom
ne had taken great fancy, and whom he tried
hard to draw out of his natural state of more than
monkey-like obtuseness. The Bushman, on his
SIDE, adored his master to the fullest extent of his
very limited faculties; followed him RfAout with
the fidelity of dog, and did e arything he
Dade him to, even to wearing IL smart cos
tune which Mr.. Cumming had has,,;, de for him,
tthough always manifesting his 1-' for these
Troublesome appendages by uniting q series of
plaintive, semi-artieulate bowls, whenever he put
them on. Though docile to his master it was
known that the little yellow savage with his small
eyes and lank hair, had sharp teeth and could bite
IKE mastih; and he was, therefore, an object of
terror to all the household, including LADY Cum
ming herself, though the poor Bushman Showed
almost as much fondness for her as for her SON.
On one occasion the latter having left home for
tne day, after experimenting, as usual, the toll
