POE T RY.
From the Traveller-

TII E SIIIPWRECK.

It was it night of peril-—on the deep,

A gallant ship was coursing to her own
Fairliontc. Stout hearts and brnve,tlie father, son.

_ The brotln-r, and the friend, were there within,

That lofty vessel's side, in quiet sleep ;-

Tilil. suddenlly the spirit of the storm

Ron ed up each dreamer from his coach of rest:
Quick and wildly. like the villain brigand
Startlcd from his den by the rustling leaves,
They sprang, and rushed upon the deck in fear!
The waves rolled‘ o'er them. and around,tlie white
Surge sparkled in n mad’ning fury ; and 
The vivid lightning flashes glared upon

The scene in wildness. Anon the heavy
D.-ep-toned thunder pealed along the pauses
Ofthe storm, reverberuting long and far

'l‘he terror of that gloomy midnight scene.

‘ It was an hour of we: the stoutest hearts
Qunilcd 'neath the terror of that mighty storm.
The stormy winds shook hate her lofty masts,
And like an aspen leafthat proud ship stood,

-A prey and sport to every rolling wave. ,.

But hark! one tall must goes upon her deck!

A crash! another by the hoard goes clear, and
Stillanotlior goes,—till that proud deck is cleared
Of all except the famished mariner, '

Who still t|tro’Hope, clings by the wreck an hour.
Believing that sotne aid may yet relieve.

And thou. O Hope! what were tbejinortal, man,

Without thy star‘! The weary manupon . »
His couch, thrown there by paledis'ease', still sees
His image in th light, and lives, livesron

By thee, till the last hour of sulfring we.

The solitude and _darkness of the woods
\Vonld have n» welcome in its paths, did not
Thy star still linger there to light the way.
And thus the weary mariner upon

The desert deep, at midnight hails thee there.

But ltark ! the surge: lash the distant shore !—
The miitute-gun has oft been charged, and new
In charged again: but yet, alas, no aid!

That wnve behind propels its fellow on ;

Upon their mountain’d top that proud ship's borne
The wild waves now before their eyes, break on
A rude and rock-bound coast—alas. no hope!

A sudden crash ! and that proud ship is now

No more. The tempests and the ocean howled
Their last sad roqnium as they sank to rest 6
And from that ship not one escaped, to tell

The perils of that night ; but still the deep

Rolls on beneath the storm, beneath the sun,
As it hath rolled forever on before,

And ye may not know aship lies there.

: MISCELLANY.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL.

The Americans had made a show, in
the course of that fearful morning, of

-returning the fire of their enemies, by
throwing a few shot from their light
field-pieces, as if in mockery of the tre-
niendous catinonadc which they sustain-
ed. But as the moment of severest tri
al approached, the same awful stillness,
which had settled upon the deserted
streets of Cltarlestown, hovered around
the rcdoubt. On the meadows, to its left,
the recently arrived bands hastily threw
the rails of two fencesinto one, atid, cov-
ering the wltole with the mowri grass that
stirrounded them, they posted themselves
along the frail defence, which answered
no better purpose than to conceal their
weakness from their adversaries. Be-
hind this characteristic rampart several
bodies ofhusbandmen, from the neigh-
boring provinces of New Hampshire and
Connecticut, lay on their arms, in sullen
expectation. '

Including men of all ages and condi-
tions, there might have been two tltou-
sand of them ;' btit, as the day advanced,
small bodies of their countrymen, taking
courscl of their fcclitigs, and animated
by the example of the old partisan of the
woods, who crossed and recrosscd the
neck, loudly scofling at the danger, broke
through the fire of the shipping in time
to joiti in the closing and bloody business
of the hour.

On the other hand, Howe led more
than an equal number of the chosen
troops of his prince : and as boats con-
tinued to ply between the two penin-
sulas throughout the afternoon, the rela-
tive disparity continued undiminished to
the ctid of the struggle. It was at this
point in otir r.~arrative that, dcemiughim-
sclf sufficiently strongto force the defen-
cos of his despised foes, the arrangements
immediately preparatory. to such an un-
dcrtaking were made in full view of the
excited spectators. Nottvjtlistandingthc
security with which the English gen-
eral marshalled his warriors, he felt that
the approaching contest would be a bat-
tle of no common incidents. The eyes
of tens of thousands were fastened on
his movements, and the occasion deman-
ded the richest display of the pageantry
of war. ~

The troops formed with beautiful ac-

curacy, and the colums moved steadily
along ashore, and took their assigned sta
tions under cover of tlte brow of the em-
inencc. Their force was in some meas-
ure. divided ; one moiety attempting the
toilsome ascent of the hill; and the other
moving along the beach, or in the or-
chards of the tnore level ground, towards
the husbandmea on the meadows. The
latter soon disappeared behind some fruit-
trees and the brick-kilns just mentioned.
The advance of the royal columns up the
ascent was slow and measured, giving
time to their field guns to add their efforts
to the uproar of the cannonade, which
broke out with new ftiry as the battalions
prepared to march. When each column
arrived at the allotted point, it spread
tltc gallant array of its glittering warriors
under a bright sun. ’

As the british lines moved in open
view of the little redoubt,and began slow-
ly to gather around its different faces,
gun after gun became silent, and the cit-
rious artillcrist, or tired seatnan, lay ex-
tended on his heated peace, gazing in
mute wonder of the spectacle. There
was just then a minute when the roar of
the cannonade seemed passing away
like the rumbling of distant tliuitdcr.

“They will not fight, Lincoln,” said

-/the animated leader at the side of Lionel
" —“Tlte military front of Howe has cltil-

- led the hearts of the knttvcs, and our

victory will. be hli-iodlcss !”’ v
“\’Ve shall see, sii=--we shall see I”
Those wordswcre barely uttercd,wlten

platoon after patoon, among the British,

delivered its fire, the blaze of muskctry
flashing swiftly around the brow of ‘the
lrill,-and was immediately followed by
heavy volleys that assendcd from the or-
chard. Still no answering sound was
heard from the Atnericatis, and the royal
troops were soon lost to the eye, » as they
slowly marched into the wltitc cloud
which their own fire had alone created.

“Tliey are cowed, by heavens !—the
dogs are cowcd !” once niure cried the
gay compaiiioit of Lionel, “-atid Howe
is within two hundred feet of tltem uti-
ltartned !”

At that” instant a sheet of flame glan-
ccd through the smoke, like lightning
playing in a cloud, while at one report a
thousand muskcts were added to the tip-
roar. It was not altogether fancy,which
led Lionel to imagine that he saw the
smoky canopy of the hill to wave, as if
the trained warriors it enveloped faltercd
before this close and appalling discliaege;
but, in another instant, the stimulating
war-cry, and the loud shouts of the com-
batants, were born across the strait to his
ears, even amid the horrid din of the coin-
bat. Ten breathless minutes flcw by
like a moment oftitne, and the bewilder-
ed spectators on Copp’s were still gazing
intently on the scene, when a voice was
raised among tltcin, shottting—
“Hurrah ! let the rakc-bellies go tip to
Breed’s ; the people will teach ’cm the
law 1”

“Throw the rebel scoundrcl from
the hill l Blow him frotii the muzzle of
a gun !” cried twenty soldiers in a
breath.

“Hold !” exclaimed I.ionel——‘
simpleton, an idiot, ii fool !”
But the angry and savage murmurs as
quickly subsided, and were lost in other
feelings, as the btigltt red lines of the
royal troops,_were seen issuing from the
smoke, waving and recoiling before the
still vivid fire of their enemies.

“Ha l” said Burgoin—-“ ’tis some fcint
to draw the rebels from their hold !”

“ ’Tis a palpable and disgraceful rc-
treat l” muttered the stern warrior nigh
ltitti, wlfosc truer eye detected at a glance
the discomfiture of the assailants.-“’Tis
another basc_ retreat before the rebels !”
The smoky veil, which, clung around
the brow ofthe emitiencc,.was lifted by
the air, and sailed heavily away to the
south west,leaving the scene of the bloody
struggle again opento the view. Lionel
witnessed the grave and meaning glances
which the 2 lieuiitenants ofthe king ex-
changed as they simultaneously turned
their glasses from the fatal spot, and, ta-
kingthe one profferred by Burgoin, he
read their explanation in the numbers of
the dead that lay profusely scattered in
front of the rcdoubt. At this instant, an
oflicer from the field held an earnest
communication with the two leaders ;'
when having delivered his orders,‘ he has-
tened back to his boat, like one who felt
himself employed in matters of life and
eath. ,

“ It shallbe done, sir,” repeated Clin-

ton, as the other departed, his own limi-
est brow sternly knit ttiidcr high martial
excitement.--“Tlte artillery have their
orders, and the work will be accotnplish-
ed without delay.”
“Tliis, Major Lincoln !" cricd his
more sophisticated companion, “this is
one of the trying duties of the soldiers! —
'1‘o fight, to bleed, or even to die, for his
prince, is his happy privilege; but it is
sometimes his unfortunate lot to become
the instrument of vengence."

Lionel waited but a moment for ex-
planation— the flaming balls were soon
seen taking their wide circuit in the air,
and carrying their desolation among the
close and inflammable roofs of the oppo-
site town.

‘ ‘its a

smoke aroscfromthe deserted buildings
and forked flames played actively along
the licated‘shinglcs, as though rioting in
their unmolested possession of the place.
He. regarded the gathering destruction in
painful silence ; and on bending his looks
towards his companions, he fancied,
notwithstanding‘ the language of the oth-
er, that he read the deepest regret in the
averted eye of him, who had so unheal-
tatingly uttered the fatal mandate to de-
stroy.
In scenes like these we are attempting
to describe, hours appear to be minutes,
and time flies as imperceptible as life
slides from beneath the feet of age.-
The disoidercd ranks of the British" had
been arrested at the base of the hill, and
were again forming under the eyes of
their leaders, with admirable discipline,
and extraordinary care. Fresh battal-
ions, from Boston, marched with high
military pride into the line, and every
thing betokened that a second assault
was at hand. When the moment of
stupid amazement, which succeeded the
retreat of the royal troops, had passed,
the troops batteries poured otit their
wrath with ten fold fury on their enemies.
Shot were incessantly glancing up the
gentle aclivity, madly ploughing across
its grassy surface, while black and threat-
ening shells appcared to hover above the
work, like the monsters of the air, about
to stoop upon their prey. '

Still all lay quiet and immoveable
within the low mounds of earth, as if
none there had a stake in the issue of
tlte_ boody day. For a few moments on-
ly,ilie tall figure of an aged man was
seen slowly moving along the summit of
the rainpart, calmly rt-gat'tliiigtlie dispo-

In a very few minutes, a dense, block A

sitions of the English general in the
.tu.ore distant part of his line, and, after

'ntan,wlio,joiticd' hint in, his dangerous
lookout, they disappeared _togcther- be-
hind the grassy banks. Lionel soon de-

passingtlimtigli the crowd iulow mur-
mcrs, and his glass did not deceive him
wlteii he tltoiigltt, in the smal_l,cr ofthe
two, he had liin.tsclfdescricd the grace-
ful person oftlte unknown leader of the
“c.-tuses.”

All eyes were now watching the
advance of' tltc biittaliotis, wl_tic_h once
more drew nigh the point of contest.-
The heads of the colutntts were already
in view of their enemies, when a, man
was seen swiftly ascending the hill from
the burning town: he pauscd amidtlte pct‘-
il,on the natural glacis,antl swung ltis_hat
triumpliantly, and Lionel‘ even fancied
he heard the exulting cry, as he re:og-
nizcd the uiigaittly form ofthe simpleton,
before it plunged into the work.

The right of the British once more
disappearctl in the orchard, and the col
umns in fi°6nt of the redoubt again open-
ed with all the imposing cxactncss of
their high discipline. Their arms were
already glittering in the line with the
green faces of the mound, and Lionel
heard the experienced warrior at his side
inurmuring to himsclf——

“Let him hold his fire, and he will go
in at the poitit of the bayonet 1”

But the trial was too great for even the
practised ‘courage of the royal troops.
Volley succeeded volley, and in'a few
moments they had again curtained their
ranks behind the misty screen prodttced
by their own fire. Then came the terri-
ble flash froin the redoubt, and the eddy-
ing volumes from the adverse hosts rol-
led into one cloud, cnvelopeing the com-
batcnts in its folds, as if to conceal their
bloody work from the spectators.——
Twenty times, in the short space of as
many minutes. Major Lincoln fancied he
heard the incessant roll of the American
musketry die away before the heavy and
regular‘ volleys of the troops ; and then
he thought the sounds of the latter grew
more faint, and were given at l0ngerin-
tervals.

The result, however, was soon known.
The heavy batik of smoke, which now
even clung along the ground,was broken
in fifty places ; and the disordered mas-
ses of the British were seen driveti be
fore their deliberate foes in wild confu-
sion. The flasliing swords of the oili-
cers in vain attempted to arrest the torrent,
nor did the flight cease, with many of
the regiments, until they had even reach-
ed their boats. At this moment a lium
was heard in Boston, like the sudden
rush of wind, and men gazed in each
othcr’s faces with ititdisguised amaze-
mcnt. Here and there a low sound of
exultation escaped seine unguarded lip,
and many an eye gleatnecl with a triumph
that could ‘no longer be suppressed. Un-
til this moment the feelings ‘of Lionel
had vncillatcd between the pride of coun-
try and his military spirit; but, losing all
other feelings in the latter sensation, he
now looked fiercely about him,as if he wld.
seek the titan who dare cxult in the re-
pulse of his comrades. The poeticchicf-
taiti was still at his side, biting his neth-
er lip in vcxation: but his tnorc tried
companion had suddenly disappeared.—
Another quick glance fell upon his mis-
sing form in the act ofentering a boat at
the foot" of the hill. ' Quicker than
thought, Lionel was on the shore, crying,
as he flew to the water’s edge-

“Hold ! for God’s sake, hold 1 remem-
her the 47th is in the field, and that I am
its major !”

“Receive him,” said Clinton, with that
grim satisfaction, with which tticn ac-
knowledge a valued friend in moments
of great trial : “and then row for your
lives, or, what is of more value, for the
British name.” ‘
The leaders consulted together, apart,
and the dispositions were immediately
renewed for the assault. Military show
was no longer affected, but the soldiers
laid down all the useless implements of
their trade, and many even cast asside
their oitter garments, under the warmth
of a broiling sun, added to the heat of
the conflagration, which began to diffuse
itself, along the extremity of the peninsu-
la. Fresh companies were placed in
the columns, and most of the troops were
withdrawn from the meadows, leaving
merelya few skirmislicrs to amuse the
Americans who lay behind the fence--.
Whcn each disposition was completed,
the final signal was given to advance.
Lionel had taken post in his regiment,
but, marching on the skirt of the column,
he commanded a view of most of the
scene of battle. In his front moved a
battalion, reduced to it handful of men
in the previous assaults. Beliittd these
came pi party of the marine guards, from
the shipping, led by their own veteran
major; and next followed the dejected
Nesbitt and his ‘corps, amongst whom
Lionel looked in vain for the features of
the good-natured Polwarth. Similar col-
umns marched on their right and left,
encircling three sides of ‘the redoiibt by
their battalions. ‘
A few minutes brought him in full view

earth, for the possession of which so much
blood had that day been spilt in vain. It
lay, as before, still as if none breathed
within its bosom,
-dark tubes were arrayed along its top,
following the movements of the approch-
ing columns, as the eyes. ofthe imaginary
charms of our own wilderness are said
to watch their victims.

it-xchanging a few wonls with a_ gentle-

tectcd the natne ol'Pt°escott of Peppct_‘el,_

of that humble and unfinished mound of

though a terrific row of

‘As the uproar of

(the artillery again grew fttintcr, the crash
of falling streets,_and the appttlling sounds
of the cottflagratioii, on their‘ left, became
tnore a.u.dibl.t-. lmmetise'volun1es.ofbla_ck
smoke issued from, the sniouldering ru-.
ins,_and; bellying outward, fold b.eyon_d
fold, it over hung the work in a hideous
cloud, casting its gloomy shadow across
the place of blood. B

A strong column was now seen ascend-.
itig, as iffrom -out the burning town, and
the advance of the whole became quick
and Spit,‘-llell. A low call ran tlirouglt
the platoons, to note the naked weap-
ons of their adversaries, and it was fol-
lowed by the cry of “ To the bayonet!
to. the bayonet !”

‘-‘-Hurrah ! for the royal Irish l” shout-
ed M‘Fuse, at the head of the dark col-
utnn -from the conflagration. .

“Hurrah !” ccliocd a ‘well-known
voice from the silent mound ; “let them
come on to Brced’s; the people will teach
’em the law !_”

Men think at such moments with the
rapidity of lightning, and Lionel had e-
ven fancicd his comrades in possession
of the work when the tcriblc strcatn of
fire flashed in the faces of the men in front.

“Push oit with the th,” criedlthe
veteran major ofmariiic-—“pnslt on, or
18th will get the honour of the day !”

We cannot mtirmurcd the soldiers of’
the th ; their fire isgto heavy!

“Then break, and let the marines
through you !”

The feeble -battalion melted away, and
the _vyarriors of be deep, trained to con-
flicts of hand to hand, sprang forward,
with a lottd shout, in their places. The
Americans, exhausted oftheir ninunition,
now sunk sullenly back, a few hurling
stones at their foes, in desperate indigna-
tion. The cannon of the British had
been brought to enfilate their short breast
work,wliicli was no longer tenable; and,
as the columns approached closer to the
low rampart, it became a mutual protec-
tion to the adverse parties.

‘“Hurrah! for the Royal lrislt again
shouted M’ Fuse, rushing up the trifling

pass

in

his own height.

“Hurrah l” repeated Pitcairn, waving
his sword on another angleof the work--
“the day’s our own !”

One more sheet of flame issued out of
the bosom of the work, and all those brave
men, who had emulated the examples of
their oflicers, were swept away, as though
a whirlwind had passed alone‘.
gt-euadier gave his war cry once more,

before he pitched headlong ainotig his,
enemies; while Pitcairn fell back into

the arms of his own child.‘ The cry of
“Forward, 47th,” rung through their

ranks, and in their turn‘ this veteran bat-

talion gallantly mounted the ramparts.

In the shallow ditch Lionel passed the

expiring marine, and caught the dying

and despairing look from his eyes, and

in another instant he fouttd himself in

the presence of his foes. As company

followed company into the defcncelcss

redoubt, the Americans sullcnly retired

by its rear, keeping the bayoncts of the

soldiers at bay with clttbbed muskcts and

sitinewy arms. VVhen the whole issued

upon the open ground, the husbandmcn

received a close and fatal fire from the

battalions, which ‘were now gathering
around them on three sides. A scene of
l'wild confusion tlten succeeded to the or-

dcr of the fight,’ and many fatal ‘blows

were given and taken, the melee renders

ing the use of fire-arms nearly impossible
for several minutes. . ’

Lionel continued in advance, pressing

011 the footsteps of the retircing foe, step-

ping over many a lifeless body in his

diffiicult progress. Notwithstanding the

hurry, and vast disorder of the fray, his
eye fell on the form of the graceful

stranger, streclied lifeless on the parched

grass,which ltad greedily drank his blood.

Amid the ferocious cries,and fiercer pas-

sions of the moment, the young man

paused, and glanced his eyes around him,
with an expression that said, he‘thought
the work of death should cease.

When theAmcricans had disengaged
themselves from the troops, they decen-
ded into the little hollow between the
two bills, swiftly, and like a disordered
crowd,bearing off most oftheir wounded,
and leaving but few prisoners in the
hands of their foes. The formation of
the round favoured their retreat, as
hundreds of bullets whistled liarmlcssly
above their heads ; and, by the time they
gained the acclivity of Bunker, distance
was added to their security. Finding
the field lost, the men at the fence broke
away in a body from their position, and
abandoned the meadows ; the whole mo-i
ving‘in confused masses behind the crest
of the adjacent height. The shouting
soldiery followed in their footsteps, pour-
.iag in fruitless and distant volleys ; but
on the summit of Bunker, their tried
platoons were haulted,and they beheld the
throng move fearlessly through the tre-
mendous fire that infiladed the lowpass,
as little injured as though most of them
bore charmed lives.

The day was nowdrawing to a close._
'With- the disappearance of their enemies,
the ships and batteries ceased their can-
nonade; and, presently, not a musket
was heard in that place, where so fierce
a contest had so long raged. The troops
’ commenced fortifyingthe outward entiti-
ence, on which they rested, in order to

‘-‘I’am of,” as the fly said that lit on

the musterd pot. The story is this :

abroad neat as a pink, and’ mild ,as a
summer evening ; all smiles and dimples.
Going in unexpectedly one day, he heard
the voice of his charmer an octave above,
and at least a deiniscmiquaver too rapid‘
for good nature. Standing a-mpment,
he saw her pass; tliosc silken tresscs in
wild disotdcr, “streaming like a meteor
to the tl'0lJl)lcd air ;” slipsltod, the heel,
of one stocking torn half ofi"._ It was not
the tlisliabille of industry, btit the garb of
the slattern. Amazed, the lover gazed a
inomettt, then cried ‘-‘Pam off,” as the fly
said, and took his departure forever.

Such a girl, so neat in public,_ so sweet
before company, I look upon as a piece
of veneered work, a thin covcringofbcau-
tiful stuff, put on for show, concealing the
rotigh and unsightly material of which
the article is mainly formed.
