0 Thou Eternal One ! whose presence bright
All space doth occupy, all motion guide ;
Unchanged through Time's all devastating flight;
Thou only God ! There is no God beside !
Being above all beings ! mighty one!
Whom none can comprehend and none explore;
Who fill’st existence with Thyself alone-
Embracing all —supporting—ruling o’er —
Being whom we call God —and be now no more!
In its sublime research, philosophy
May measure out the ocean deep —may count
The sands or the sun's rays —but, God ! for Thee
There is no weight nor measure—none can mount
Up to Thy mysteries : Reason's brightest spark,
Though kindled by Thy light, in vain may try
To trace thv counsels, infinite and dark ;
And thought is lost e'er thought can soar so high,
Even like past moments in eternity.
Thou from primeval nothingness did’st call
First, chaos —then existence —Lord on Thco
Eternity had its foundation —all
Spring forth from Thee —of light, joy, harmony,
Sole origin, ail life, all beauty Thine.
Thy word created all, and doth create;
Thy splendor fills all space witli rays divine.
Thou art, and wert, ami shall lie! Glorious! Great!
Life —giving life —sustaining Potentate!

Upheld by Thee, by Thee inspired with breath!

And beautifully mingled life and death !
As sparks mount upward from the fiery blaze,
So suns are born, so worlds spring forth from Thee;
And as the spangles in the sunny rays,
Thine round the silver snow, the pagentry
Of heaven's bright army glitters in thy praise.
A million torches lighted by thy hand,
Wandered unweared through the blue abyss;
They own thy power, accomplish thy command,
All gay with life', all eloquent with- bliss.
What shall wo call them ? Piles of crystal light!
A glorious companv of golden streams,
Lamps of celestial ether burning bright—
Sun’s lighting systems with their joyous beams !
But Thou to these art as the noon to night!
Yes, as a drop of water in the sea,
All this magnificence in Thee is lost:

TORIES OP TIIU HUVOLTTIOX,
Eventful Death of an Inveterate Tory,
Of all the grades of tones witli which the coun
try was afflicted, that which herded with the sava
j ges was the worst, Fo long as the man of Saxon
blood kept among his' own kind, and waS consei*
eritous in the adherence to the cause he professed to
embrace, there was no damning error to be attached
to him, save one of judgment, or of. unfortunate
1 physical conformation; but the moment he attached
himself to savages, and became their leader, or one
of their counsellors, lie lost his individuality as a,
descendant of the Pnxou race, and became even
more despicable than the common traitor or the
petty spy.
This grade of the tory was more numerous in
; the State of New York than in any other, and of
them was one Donald McDonald, who did not hesi
tate —as, in fact, few of his land did—to perpetrate
every enormity, providing the existing political
| troubles gave the shadow of a legitimate excuse
for it. In reality, it seemed that the greater the
outrages he committed the better he was pleased.
It was a task of no difficulty to incite the Indians
to acts of the most barbarous nature, and many
was the miniature Wyoming in which Donald
M'Donald. and such as him, revelled. Of course
the odium of these horrifying transactions was in
stantly accorded to the ‘-internal savages/’ while
the pale-skirted demons who stood, the authors of
all, in the background, escaped both general public
condemnation and personal injury. But in the
end, these gentlemen found a bloody grave, to
w hich the were sacrificed by vengeance. Among
the 'chivalrous feats of Donald M'Donald were those
of holding u rebels’’ on pitchforks over fires—feed
ing the quadruped denizens of the forest with "rebel"
infants—making persons who did not hurrah for
the king run the Indian
tarring and leathering the wile of a patriot—rob
bing larm-houscs, and many other glorious doings
that served his majesty, and pleased those who
dfreetly represented the crown in the colonies.
Like the rest, M'Donald carried the pitcher to the
well once too often, and, sad to say, it was broken.
At a place called Shell's Bush, which was situa
ted near Herkimer, in New York, was the house of
a whig named John Christian t-hell, who was a
stern and courageous mau, ready to shed the last
drop of his blood in fin or of liberty, and willing to
lace any danger when it became necessary for him
to do so. The miserable and cowardly tones who'
knew him were exceedingly afraid of him?* He
made no secret of Ins hostility to their welfare, and
-kept an eye so watchful upon the movements of
the doubtful ones, that they were effectually held
in check. It may be reasonably supposed that
they were exceedingly anxious to rid the country
of him, and to do this they denounced him at
head-quarters as one of the king's most'inveterate
enemies. lie was accordingly marked for sacri
fice. These circumstances threw him into a num
ber of dangerous fenconters, and served to make
for him a multitude of personal enemies. Among
the enemies most hostile to bhcll was Donald
M Donald, who had twice essayed'to take his life,
and had sworn to have it eventually.
It was in the autumn of 17bT, that M'Donald.
determined to execute this vow, he being then near
Herkimer witli a small band or party of cut-throats,
equally composed of Indians and white scoundrels.
We should have mentioned that Shell's wile was
as staunch a liberty man as her husband, and that
his children, ol' whom he had several, (how many
the source of our inibrmation does not specify,)
were also thoroughly ali\e to the importance of
the cotfte'sf. “and, of course, ranked under the same
banner with their progenitors. 11 11c always kept
his fahiily armed as well as the exigencies of the
times would permit. The house was small, but
compact, and capable of enduring a heavy assault.
It was well built of rough-hewn logs, strengthened
l>v mortar p/ugs in the chinks, and pierced by loop
holes large enough to permit the egress o’l'fire-arms.
Our readers need not wonder at this. Many of the
houses that stood in the time of the Revolution
were decorated in this style, and not a lew of them
were well scariliecd by bullets. Ralls have been
extracted, in any quantity, from tome of the old
tenements in this city.
Having settled to assault and murder Shell and
his whole family, M'Donald ordered his statelites
to follow him, and started lor the place of his ene
my's abiding, which lie readied in due time. He
hud explained to his comrades the moti\o which
actuated him. There was little plunder, but plenty
of revenge to be bad. nnd no doubt the loyalists
would pity well lbr the contemplated slaughter, if
:it was accomplished. ,

“lung's Devils 1” growled Midi, who was not
particular in his choice of phrases and epithets:
•• if' you want plunder, you may as well travel fur
ther, lor here there is none. If you want to .shed
our hlood, and gain iU\ or with the foes of the con*
tinentallcrs, yuu must light, that's all! ’
‘•Then you wontt give in?’’ said McDonald. a< if
he wanted to be satisfied beyond doubt ere lie struck
a blow of hostility.
‘•Any -body that knows John Clyistian Shell
wouldn't ask that question twice," replied Airs.
Shell, in a loud voice.
There was a sound as of additional barricading
within, and the tory leader immediately ordered
his men to force an entrance where they could, an
order which they proceeded to olrey with alacrity
and some noise. The first who approached the
only window in the iiicc of the dwelling, lell by a
shot aimed from within. This exasperated the as
sailants. und-lhey became zealous in their endea
vors to break into the house. At last, after a quar
ter of an hour s skirmishing and hard work, Mc-
Donald called for a cessation of hostilities, to which
Shell bf course could offer no Abjection, being the
pafty-on the delensivc, and the weaker of the belli
gerent 1 forces. M'Donahl then informed him that
unless he consented to deliver himself up to their
mercies, they would fire the house,
“Then you must do so. inhuman monsters!"
abruptly exclaimed the heroic wile; -for lie shall
not yield, if-J takc his life to prevent him/’
“Ah! madam," said VI Donald, “we ll have you
out. We do not wish to burn, only to smoke you.
I shall try to obtain an entrance, cost what it.will."
The tories then began to prepare to lire the house;
and'whilc they were engaged at this task, their
leader, w ho really possessed courage of the animal
order, took a crowbar, with which they werp al
ways supplied, and boldly going tp the door, began
to deal rapid and powerful blows upon it. By this
time poor Shell s little stock of powder was oxatis
ted, and he was at a loss for a method of effectual
resistance. Suddenly, a thought. \vns conceived.
It was one of those bold-exppdients w hich men in
desperate positions so frequently bring to their re
lief, in an instant, when all cause forhope seems to
have vanished. Hastily removing the bars and
bolts that still resisted firmly the ; faithful: prying
and pounding of M Donald, he opened it, as the
matter-of-fact chronicler .who furnishes the crude
facts says, “quick as a flash of lightening/* He at
once astonishedand butall exulting tory,
drew him into the house, and, before a fty of the
gentry outside knew the transaction, Donald M Don
ald teas a prisoner / He was disarmed and bound,
but not until after some slight resistance. He was
then made to give , by a confession, that it was his
will to do’so, all the ammunition he lipd on his
person, to be fired against his own comrades!
- “M’Donald,” said Shell, quietly, as he helped his
family to load the pieces, “you catpe her p4o mur
derous,, who never offended you or yours.- Mere
cruelty dictated this blood-thirsty attempt of your,
brother savages. - They are now fifing my house.'
The very instant smoke becomes pefceptible-to our

be instantly ‘put out. 1 .The i man answered that
they Should be put out; but tlfat get in, kill Shell
and. his family, they were determined, as he had
Jcilled three of their men and wounded four others,
one severely. ! •
‘•Then there arc but eight left to do service/*
said M’Donald, with rage in his features.
“So I guess we arc a match for that number
yet," was the remark of the* - intrepid patriot
The outsiders were really determined to do some
execution, for after crying to M'Donald to shield,
himself if he could, they thrust five musket barrels
through the loopholes. Mrs. Shell seized a hatchet,
and, before they were withdrawn, ruined every one.
Only, two were even fired. By one the heroine was.
badly wmirided in tlie left arm, and the ball.from
the other, struck "McDonald injthe legj lie shriek*
ed with pain. i ' 1
Shell now informed the marauders, whoso, zeal
appeared to have-become thin and watery by adilu*
tion of lcar and wonder, that there were’ too many
in the house for them, and in their tuim they .(the
inmates) would sally out and attack them, knowing
their strength from M Ronald.. It was signified
that the assailants did not credit Midi's assertion.
•• Tell them,” said Mrs. Midi, holding the hatchet
over M'Donald's head, “how many there arc here
—strong, able-bodied men.”, f * '
The prostrate tory eyed -the hatphef, and the
frightful appearance of tho Woman who held it,
lie then looked upon Midi, who held his hands'up,
and the lingers and thumb outstretched. M’Donald
took the hint. He replied, speaking to bis men—
“ There arc ten here, besides .‘•hell, his wife and a
daughter." j b
“Yes, we heard you were coming/' exclaimed
Shell's eldest son. a lad of eighteen, “and now vou
had better be going.*’ '
A pause was observed. The party; outside con
sulted. There was some ‘wrangling, which soon
subsided, and at hist they moved off Mrs. Shell's
wound was-dressed, which occupied some time, and
then Midi commanded his -family to prepare for
instant flight. He said lie knew they would return,
and they should be disappointed in finding anybody
but their own wounded leader.j All tlie articles of
use. arms, ect., that could be carried, \> ere hastily
gathered Together, and' in an hour or two after the
retirement of the foe,- Midi utid his family wen
ready to decamp.
-I should like-t ) have something to remember
to-day by. and my victory over'you." said Midi To
M Donald, who was groaning >rith the pain of liis
wound; “let me see if 1 can find a momento/’
He searched the person of the tory and Wound a
silver mounted tomehawk, of exquisite workman
ship. for carrying which he was notorious. was
a sort of badge of his infamy.
111 take this," was Shell s remark, as he secured .
it in a belt which he wore. “And now, M'Donald.”.
he continued, as he approached; the threshold of tlie
door, “there is one.lavor yoU must do me as an
dd frlc.id.''' = \
u oli. yes," stammered M Donald, sneering as en
ergetically as his couditiou would permit, “I know
—yes—what is it'.'” . j
‘•Why." was the response, “just be kind enough
to shout lor General George Washington.*’
‘■No! Kill me. but don't trample on mo now
that 1 am powerless.”
‘•What were you going to do witll me, and my
wife and children too. eh /'* cried Shell, passionately.
•• Shout, or this is the last of yon!'’
“Well, hurrah, tor Gcmral George Washington
There, will that do'/' 5 he groaned.
“Yes, arid so good bye.” jShuII and his family
departed, and made their way. with all the speed
they could command, for FortlDayton, Which they
readied in safety and without hindrance. True to
their vindictive instincts, tlie tories returned with a
reinforcement. They found their leader bleeding,
and with his leg terribly shattered. After "chop*
ping up and destroying everything in the house
we wonder they forgot to fire it—they took McDon
ald up, and bore him to the dwelling of a. loyalist
near at hand. It was found necessary to amputate
the wounded limb. Heaven is just. Tlie hemor
rhage could not be stopped, arid one of the worst
tories whose name lias-descended to posterity was
no more. . • ;
Midi counted on M Donald s tomulmwk, tiiirty

and civilized, had swiped us ninny of hiy "brothum.
