THE MORAL W ARE ARE. When Freedom, on her natal day, Within her war-locked cradle lay, An iron race around her stood baptised her Infant brow in blood. And, thro’ tho storm which round her swept, Tbolr constant ward and watching kept. Then where quiet herds repose, The roar of baleful battle rose, And brethren of a common longuo To mortal strife as tigers sprung, And every gift on Freedom’s shrine Was man for beast, and blood for wine I Our fathers to their graves have gone 5 Their strife is past—their triumph won : But sterner trials wait tho race Which rises in their honored place— A moral warfare with the crime And folly of an evil time.

As I looked at it he hastily drew away his hand out of mine and closed Ins. The tablet was divided into three columns. In the first was the month of Janua ry. with its number of weeks and days ; in the second, the month of February : in the third, the month of March, to the eighth : from this, (here was nothing, to the fvventy-first. which was wnten in large letters.

He then turned his face to the wall and signified that he wished to be alone. I placed the letters on the table near the bed, lighted the lire, and, full of anguish, quitted the hut. The governor was waiting outside, andl re lated to him what had happened. Early the next morning—about two o’clock —I saw him steal out of his hut. lie appeared weak and languid. At my request the governor hired a man to watch him. He did not return until two in the afternoon. Ho was exhausted and was without any game. He immediately fell on his bed. When I entered his eyes were closed, and his face with its fixed stern expression was turned towards the chimney. The letters and the knots of ribbon remained untouched. At nine in the evening ho opened his eyes, took the ta blet and wrote on it tho day of the month—the tenth—and signed to mo to go away. On the eleventh towards midnight, he arose to go a» usual to the chase, but fell back on his bed. — With great difficulty he arose again, about tho middle of tho day, and placed tho prescribed number of skins in order for thq delivery; wtolo on tlio tablet “tho eleventh,” and staggered back to his bed. Ho lay, during eight days, stolid, immova ble, rejecting all help from human hands.
