-Thy shadow darkens round us,-
Thy form is in the air:
Thy fatal voice hath found us,
'."hy,banquet will be rare !
A stidden fear hath bound us,
We know thee-—aud despair.
Thy gloomy wing is flapping,
“ Impatieiit for thy prey ;
Thy breath o’ei' all is wrapping
A shroud ofsad decay ;
The sullen grave is gaping-
Tbiue eye doth light the way.
Avenging messenger!
VVhen will thy course be run .’
VVhotn hast thou marked ? Art near
To me, relentless one ?
When will thy dread career
Of punishment be done ?
The glowing south, the icy north,
The vale, the desert bare,
The ci'ty—and the mountain cot,
Thou.visit’st every whcrc—-
The mosque, the idol temple, and
The cliristian’s place of prayer,
‘ Thou hast siveptiu all thy terror,
The regions of the east .;
Thou hast bid the mighty wither !«
The loftiest and the least;
The brave, the fond, the beautiful,
- Alike have been thy feast.
The patriot. the tyrant,
Lord, vassal, friend and foe ;
The Victor's arm hath sunk beside
The -victim it laid low ;
The hosts that met for mortal strife,
Have fallen without a" blow. _
Before thee thou hast cast thy shade,
A frightful chillit hath ;
One moment is the storm delayed,
The next it comes in wrath : ._
Then h'elpless, smitten things, we fade
And wither in thy path. .

‘THE RATTLESNAKE HUNTER-
nv J. G. wii°i'r'risii.
“Until my ghastly tale is told
This heart within me burns."
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.
During it dc-liglitful excursion in the vi-
ciuity of the Green Mountains, a few
years since, I had the good fortune t_o meet
with n singular character, known in many
parts of Vermont as the Rattlesnake Hun-
ter. It was a warm,clear day efsunsliine,
in the middle of June, that I saw him for
the first time, while engaged in a minera-
logical ramble among the hills. His head;
was held, and his forehead was deeply
marked with the‘~s_trong lines of cure and
age. His form was wasted and meagre ;
and btit for the fiery vigor of his eye, he
i might have been supposed incapacitated
by age and infirniitics for even a slight ex-
ertion. Yet he hurried over the rude led-
ges of rock with a quick and almost yotith-
ful tread ; and seemed earnestly search-
ing among the crevices and loose crsgs
and stinted bushes around him. All at
once, he started suddenly-—drew himself
back with a sort ofsltuddering recoil-and
tlien smote fiercely withhis staff upon the
rock before him. Another and another
blow-—and he lifted the lithe and crushed
form ofa large Rrttlesnake upon the end
_ of his rod. '
The old man's eye glistenccl but his lip
trembled as he looked steadfastly upon
his yet writhing victim. ~.“ Another of the
accursed race !" he muttered bettvcen his
‘clinched teeth, tlppill'8ll’-I)’ unconscious of
my presence. - - ‘
I was now satisfied that the ‘person be-
fore me was none other than the famous
V He was known
throughout the neighborhood as an out-.
cast and a wanderer, obtaining a miserable
subsistence from the casual charities of the
people around him. His time was mostly
‘spent among the rocks &. rude hills, where.
his only object seemed to be the ‘hunting
out and destroying of the dreaded Crotrtlus
horrirlus, or Rattlesnake. I immediately
determined to satisfymy curiosity, which
had been strangelycxcitc-d by tho reniar-.
kable appearance._aud behavior of the

‘-‘ They are getting to be scarce,” said
the old man, lifting his slouclicd hatand
wiping his bald brow ; "_I’h_avo known
the time when you could _ hardly stir ten‘
rodsfrom your door in. this part of the
State without hearing tlieirlow, quick rut-
tlo at your side, or seeing their many-co-
lored bodies coiling up in your path. But
as I said before, they are getting to be

ii few years,—and thank God.I have my-
self been a considerable cause of their ex-
termination.-” .

The old titan‘: countenance fell. There
wasa visible struggle offeelingwitliin him ;
for his lip quivered, and" he dashed his
brown band suddenly across his eyes, as if
to conceal a tear. But quickly rt-covering
himself, he answered in ‘the low, deep
voice of one about toreveal some horrible
secrot-—, .
“I believe in the Rattlesiial<e’s power

It may be supposed that I readily assen-
Bestotving one more
blow on the rattlesnake, as ifto be certain
of his death, the old man descended‘ the
rocks with a rapidity which would have
endangered the neck ufa less practiced
hunter. After reaching the place which
‘ he had pointed out, the Rzittlesuuke [lun-
ter commenced his story in a manur.-r
which confirmed what I had prt.‘\’l0Usl_)'
heard of his educirioii and intcllectutrl
-sarengtli.
‘ I was among the earliest settlers in
this part of the country. I liadjust finish-
‘ed my education at the Utiivetsity ofIIar-
vard, when I was induced, by the II«|llt.'l‘-
iug represciitatioiis of some of the earlier
poinecrs into the wild lands hr-yotid tho

It was that ofa beautiful fcenirrlo. Slit’

who have tasted, even slightly, of the bit-

said, as I returned the pic urn.
“ Beautiful l" be repeated, “ you tii:i_v

My heart has been stretched too often on
the rack of memory to stiffer any new pang.
“We had resided in the new country

creased rapidly, and the comforts and dr.-li-
cacios of life were beginning to be felt,
‘after the weary privaiioirs and scvero trials
to which we had br.-on sul)jt.‘Ctt.'Ci. The
red men were few and feeble, and did not
molest us. , The beasts of the forest and
nioitntairi were ferocious, but we suffcreri
little from them. The only Illlrllctliillc
danger to which no Wel'¢-;‘t-.‘X}'t)St'(.l resulted
from the Ruttlosnrrkt:-s which infested otir
neigliiiorhood. Tlirce or four of our set-

shows how fell and destructive has been its
short career on the waters.
The ship Brutus, Captain Neilson, left the
Mersey on the 18th May, for Quebec, with
tlm-o hundred and thirty passengers, princi-
pally composed of persons frotn the agricultu-
ral dis rlctr, aiixiousto find in the Caiiadas
profitable returns for their labour and capital.
'l‘h_e crew was cflicient, the captain able and
attentive. The services of-a surgeon and cler-
gymaii were also engaged, and every tl.?i.'ig=

'I‘h_e weather was calm and beautiful; and
the first six days were spent willioitt regret ol

illness on bo:ird,,but it. created no alarm. On

were summoned to worship, and the day clo-

following morning rose unclnuded,itsl10ne on

in the vigor and prime of life, was suddenly

symptoms of malignant Cholera inaiiifested

cessity of prompt and vigorous exertion, at
otice npplictl the necessary remedies, aiitl his
pa‘ir.-tit recovered. His next case was not so
fortunate; and soon the news ofa \vurnatr’s
death thrilled through the ship with awful sc-
lemnity. A child ufa few days old soon fol-
lowed; and the nc-xtdtiy, Tuesday, made _u
fearful advance. Alarm then arrived at its
height, and each passenger began to view bi-
fellow with looks of fcutful apprclicnsiou.—
Sympathy bccamo absorbed in the fear of gen-
eral dangor. and triany sought protection by
keeping aloof from those parts ofthe ship in
which the sufferers lay. This was found of
