_'mvoo_A'l'.l0N T0 SLEEP.

Come nafiir‘”e’s sweet restorer sleep,
And o'er my rvakoful cyélidsoreep;
Me to inv peaceful mansions bear,
And banish each corrodiiig care ;

Still all the tuniults of my breast,
While in thy soft embrace I-rest.

Let me forget, an hour or -so.

That life is short and fraught with woe--—
'l‘liat youth, and liealtli. and heauty's bloom
May sink into the yawning tomb ;

That man is like the suninier flower,

Cut don ii and Wll.llCl’t.‘ll'In-Ill] hour.

.VV|iile night her sable mantle spreads.
AndLuna her pale lustre sheds-— _
While naught is heard, save, some lone rill;
And all oreation's hushed and Still.

O'er me thy peaceful curtain spread,

And down thy balmy influence shed.

As in thy soft embrace I lie,

And nightly visions meet my-eye.
Oh let my wakeful wandering mind
Some kindred spirit . eeni to find-—
Forget awhile cart h's wietclied ncss,
and dream of friends and liappiuess.

As a'beam o'er the face of the waters may glow,
{W hile the tide runs in darkness a nd-coldness below.
'So the cheek may be tiiig‘d with ll warm suiinysinile
Though the cold heart to ruin runs daikly the while.

One fatal reineiiibrance, one sorrow tlml thI‘0W3
Its bleak shade alike o'er ourjoys and our wo-2'8:
To which life nothing darker or briglitcr can bring
For which joy has no balm and aflictiou no sting.

Oh! this thought in the mid..t of enjoymcntywlll 3'3)’-
Like a dead leafless bi anch in the suiri’e_rs_bi:i-I Hf)‘;
The beams of-the warm sun play around it in vain.
It may smile in its light, but it blooms not again.

 
MISCELLANEOUS.
.BA'l"l‘tLE 'GRUgNI)‘ OF 'l‘lI’PECA-
There are few scciies iii the Western

country so full of

as the Battle Ground of Tippecanoe. He

who looks upon the page of his country’s
heroism as the bright heraldry of a young

-mid vigorous republic, and whose bosom

swells at the recital ofthose glorious deeds

of dairing and bravery which distinguish-
-ed our frontier wars cannot look unfeel-

ingly on this interesting spot. His inindf

wanders back to those days of privatioii

and hardship, which were endured by.
the western -rangers in their attempts to
quell thc=haughty souls of our savage
borderers, and chords of memory and:
feeling are touched, to which language

is incapable of giving expression.

An hour and ii lialf"s pleasant. rider
from the agreeable little village of Lafay-
,) on the _\Vabash, will
place you on the spot,_—aiid you Will:
generally find some one in the iieigbor-_
hood who will accompany you over the
ground, and point out to you the position}
of the «troops during the battle : the point‘

ette, .(Iiidiana

of first attack by the enemy : the rock
upon which Davicss fell and expired :
and the grave of the fallen warriors.
On the ‘.30th of May, 1832, I visited
the battle ground, in company with an
elderly gcntlcinan and his son from Lou-
iisville, Ky. It was a. clear, calm day,
and after a pleasant ride from Lafayette,
we halted upon the rneniorable spot.—-
Many of those who fell beneatli the rifled
fire of the dark eyed Potewattomie, and
the blood-thirsty Shawnee, had been the
intimate friends of Mr. II.‘_iny _compan-
ion. Hclspokc of their manly virtues
with warmth and energy, and a tear fur-
rowcd down the old gentleman's cheek,
as he gazed upon the rude grave that
contained their rcniaiiis.
The incidents _of'thc battle are pretty
generally known to backwoodsmen, but
if a scctcli, gathered from one of ‘the ac-
tors in the scene, can give any interest to
this paper, thcre canlbc no impropriety
in adding it here. Gen. Harrison, with
his forces, consisting of a few hundred
mounted Kentucky rangers, and a large
nuiiibcr of foot soldiers, arrived on the
evening previous to the ciigagcmcnt, at
the prophct’s town, one‘ mile from the
battle ground. The few Iiidians that the
troops found here, manifc_stc(l a disposi-
tion to treat with General Harrison, and
pointed out to him the spot on which the
battle was subsequent] y foiiglit, as 11
proper’ place for liis’ei'icainpmciit_, where
they pro iscd the chiefs of their band
should wait upon him on the following
morn'in'g. Many of the ioflicers doubted
the faithof the Indians, and" were inclin-
cd to camp at ‘some ‘otlicrtplacca How-

and the chill ’lo,ok'lof _de'atli “was settling
in every countenance. The bravest

interest to the stranger

The ichanct s of victoil
and‘fln§
; duskiness'o’f the morning preserved ‘tin,
5 enemy from the "consequences of the fir 1
ing of the forces. Memory wandered‘
back to the fire side of the soldier, and
iinagiiititioii pictured the widow and lllhl
orphan resting-upoii the -charity of . the:
. world. At this critical juucture,Davicss,
, the intrepid Daviess, shouted_to his Ken-
tuck y r.-ingei°s,to follow him to the cliargc,
as the only measure of success. Him
-command was obeyed; they rushed down
the dcclivity upon the foe on the left of
the encampment, and received inanlully
lithe fire of the iudiaiis. Davicss fcll:yet
with his Iastbrcath Ill! cheered his ineij
' to victoiy. One iinpulseantl thecoiiquesf
_ was ours. The determined spirit of the
‘rangers struck terror to the savages : the
prediction of their prophet was proveii
l':ilsc‘*—-and their line gave way. Num-_
bcrs of the red men lay dead upon the.
spot. The retreating Whoop of the fu-'
gitivcs sta-rted’tlie remaining wing, and
in a few moments the field was in the
quiet possession of the white-men.
\’Vhat scene did the ground-exhibit up-
-aoirtlic return ofthe light of day’! For-‘
ty of the bravest and stoutest of that cairip
lay wcltering in their gore : and the
groans of the ‘wounded sounded awfully
in the ears'ofthe survivors. A deep grave
was dug between two or three large oaks,
and the fallen soldiers slept there togeth-
er. No long funeral train accoinpanied
the corses of the worthy dead to their
last dwelling place on earth. No affec-’~
tionate wife bentcover the couch pf the
‘fallen warrior, and wiped off the clam
my sweat of death that gathered upon
his manly, but stricken brown: but brave
and stern hearts were bowed low upon
that battle ground, and many unspoken
prayers ascended to the throne ot'Omnip-
otcncc, that the WOl'tl'l_V (lead might be?
happy in a future world ,
“The troops left the encampment the
the second morning after the engage-
ment, and the grouiid was not visited by
ivliite-mien" for several'weeks. It appear-
ed howevcr that the Indians'ha'd return-
‘ ed some few days after the battle, and
' disinterred the remains of the dead bodies
exposed upon the ‘ground. Up to 1821,
their bones were bleaching upon the the-
atre of their glorious deaths, unlionored

I gloiious 3hopes.

of that year, a.numcr‘ous assemblage of
persons, among whom were many of the
survivors of the battle, and relatives of
the fallen. met upon the battle ground;
and having collected the scattered and
bleached bones, placed them together in
one large coffin, bearing upon the lid
tho idscription, in gilt letters, “Rest,
\_Varriors Rest !” and re-interred them

' with the honors of war, upon the side of
the hill, on the right of the encampment
ground. No marble obelisk rears its
gorgeous form - above that grave : no

sculptered moiiunient gives the story of
their glorious death to the visitor : but a

far more holy feeling than the sight of
such honor would conjure up, burns
witliintlie bosom of the American as he
gazes upon the rude mound of earth that
is thrown up above their bones.

“LowIy may be the turfthat covers
The sacred grai'e,of_ their last repose,
But oh ! there is zi glory around it hovers,

‘ Broad as the day-hreak,ai:d bright as its close."
Arude pannellcd fence is around the
grave : and "the wind whistles wildly
through the large oak that stands at the
head of the enclosure. The inemoires
of those who fell in that struggle will be
cherished until America forgets to honor
her brave fore-fatliers : till she loses rec-

collcction of the deeds which have made
her what she is.

My conipanioiis mid myself had stop-

pcd longer on the ground than we inten-
dcd. Asthe old gentlemaii gave a last
look at this interesting spot, he said :-
“Hcre is the death ground of Daviess,
the brave and excellent Joe Davicss, of
Kentucky, of Owings, and of many oth-

crs, as worthy fellows as cverfired ‘a gun.

God grant that they are now happy in

heaven ;” and be repeated, with 9. incl-
ancholy cadence, the inscription upon

the coflin, “Rest Warriors, Rest!” "us
he turned; to leave the memorable battle
ground of '.l‘ippecanoe. I

the next morniiig to make a general as-

ged, notwithstanding their repulse in the

mcn who were busily employed in extin-
guishing thc fires aboutthc cloisters. The
Romans-had ‘not merelydrove them back
but entering the sacred space with them,

ple. A soldier ’withou't'ordcrs, mounting
on"the slioiilders of one of his co'inradé's,-
threw ublaziiig brand into a gilded small
door on the north side of the chambers, in
the outer ‘biiilding or porch. Theflames
sprung up iit ‘once.

their swords with a furious deterininaltion,

forced their way to the door of the rem" '

The Jews iittcrcdl

of their temple. Titus rushed down with?
the utmost speed: he shouted, he made
signs to his soldiers to quench the fire ;
liis'voice was drowned and his signs un-
noticed,in the blind confusion.
gionaries either could not or would not
hear: they rushed on, trampling each
o_ther down in their furious haste, or stum-
bling over the crumbling ruins, perished
with the enemy.
and each hurled his blazing brand in the

inner part of the edifice, and then hurri-

ed to his work of carnage. The unarm-

ed and defenccless were slain in than-

sands; they lay heaped, like sacrifices

around the alter ; the steps of the temple

run with streams of blood, which washid

down the bodies that lay about.

Titus found it impossible to check the’
rage of his soldiery"-; he entered with his
officers to survey the interior of the sacred
edifice. The splendor filled them with
wonder ; and as the flames had not yet
penetrated the holy place, he made a last
effort to save it -: and springing forth, he
again exhorted his soldiers to -stay the
progress of the conflagration. The-coir
turion, Liberals, endeavored to enforce
obedience with their staff of office ; but

the inveterate animosity against the Jews,
to the fierce excitement of battle, and to
the iniiatiableiliope of plunder. The sol-
dicrs saw every thing around them radi-
ent with gold, which shone dazzliiigly in
the wild twilight of the flames; they sup-
posedthat incalculable treasures were
laid up in the sanctuary. A soldier un-
perceived, thrust ii lighted torch between
the hinges ofthe-door ; the whole build-
ing was in flames in an instant. The
smoke and fire forced the oflicers to re-
treat, and the noble edifice was left to its
fate. ,

It was an appalling spectacle to the
Roman ; VVhat was it to the Jew ? The
whole summit ofthe bill which coinmiind-
ed the city, blazed like a volcano. Oue
after another the buildings fell in with a
tremendous crash, and were "swallowed
up in the fiery abyss. '].‘lic roots of cedar
were like sheets of flame, the gilded pin-
nacles shone like spires of red light; the
gate towers sent up tall columns of flame
and smoke. The neighboring bills were‘
lighted up, and dark groups of people
were seen watching in horrible anxiety,»
the progress of the destruction. The‘
walls and heights of the upper city were",
crowded with faces, some pale with the‘
agony of despair, others scowling una-:
vailiiig vengeance. The shouts of the
Roman soldiery, as they ran to an’fro,'!
and the howling of the insurgents who
were pcrishing in the flames mingled
with the roaring of' the conflagration, and
the thundering sound of falling timbers.
The echoes of the mountains replied or
brought back the shrieks of the people on
the heights; all along the walls resound-.
ed screams and wailings, men who were
expiring with famine, rallied their re-
inaining strength to utter ti cry of anguish
and desolatioii.—[Milmrin.

TROUBLE.

VVho ever lived a week, and had any
iiitercoiirs with the world, without hearing
much about trouble? Some disappoint-
nieiit, some dreaded evil,soine present or
gone by one, are constantly ringingin the
ear, and one might almost conclude that a
premium had been offered of immense
value, to him or her, who could produce
the greatest share. “We are told, that
man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly
upward ;" so he is naturlly inclined to
find trouble, but that all is an‘ "unavoida-
ble fate in consequeiice of the fall, I do not
believe. We are in nine cases out of ten
our own tormentcrs; If we haveno real
trouble, we -set ourselves about the man-
ufacturing of it. S,om'c’d'rcam, some sigh,
