The forms we loved- so dearly, • -
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely; - . .
8o fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens •
Who seemed so:formed for bliss, •
Too glorious and too.beavenly •- '

IT was at the battle of Brandywine: that
'Count Pulaski appeared in his glory.
As he rode .charging there, into the thick-
est of the battle, he was a warrior to look up
op but once and neverto .forget.
Mounted on, a large black horse, whose
streng,tli,and heinty of shape made you for
get the plainness of his caparison, Pulaski
himself, with a form six feet in height, Inas
live chest, aitd limbs of iron, was seen nt
afar relieved by the black, cloud of battle. frog.
His face,. grim with the scars of Poland,
was the face of a man who had seen much
trouble, endured much wrong. It was stamp
edwith an expression of abiding melancholy.
Bronzed in hue, lighted• by large black eyes,
with the lip darkened by a thick moustache,
his throat and chin were covered with'a
heaiy beatd, while his hair fell in raven mas
ses from beneath his trooper's cap,, shielded
with a ridge of 'glittering steel. ,Ilis halt
and beard were of the same hue.
The sword that hung by his side, fashion
ed of tempered steel, with a hilt of iron, was
one that a warrior alone could lift.
1 It was in this array that he rode to the
I battle, followed by a band of three hutsdred
'ire; whose faces, burnt with the scorching
I d a tropical sun, - or hardened by northern
mows, bore the scars of many a battle. They
were mostly, Europeans; some Germans, some
Polanders, some deserters_ from the British
army. These were the men to fight:, To be
taken by the British - would be death on the
!gibbet; therefore they fought their best, and
fought to their last gasp, rather than mutter
a word' about "quarter.
IWhen they Charged, it was as one man,
their three hundred swords . flashing over
, heir heads, against the cloud of battle.—
ey came down ut)on the enemy in terrible
silence, 'without a word Spoken, or even a
Whisper.' • . '. .
1 You could' hear the tramp of their steeds,
you could hear the rattling of their scabbards,
but that was all. - As they closed with the
British, you could,hear a noise like the echo
a hundred hammers beating the hot ir6n
a the anvil. You could see Pulaski Mil
li; riding yonder in his white uniform his
lack steed rearing- aloft;as - turning his head
ver his shoulder, he spoke to bis men:

traced them through the varied scenes, frtim
the first pistol shot at Lexington, to . the final

at their. success; I saw

tive 'but the . lore librty, looping/for no re

were none to charge that the stain 'of foreign
