Song of the American Soldier
My song is of this happy land,
My sword is for its glory ;
Now comrades fill—my toast is fur •
The warriors of her story.
May fame around their temples 'twine
The wreath which naught can sever;
And ifiay their proudest motto be
"The Union's flag forever."
We own no sovereign but the law—
The sovereign people made it—
No titled despots stain its code—
No lordling fops degrade it:
The "great republic" (thus we style
This mighty land of freedom,)
Has warrior sons to guard her rights,
And warrior chiefs to lead them.
And beauty smiles throughout the land,
To charm and to caress us;
And who would spurn the soldier's lot,
When beauty deigns to bless us?
Before the world's applauding gaze
The gallant soldier's duty
Is first to stand for native land,
And then for native beauty.
The Union.
Thou, too, sail on, 0, ship of state !
Sail on, 0, Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all the hopes of future years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what master built thy keel,
What workman wrought thy ribs of steel.
Who made each mast, and sail, and rope.
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope !
Fear not each sudden sound and shock,
.Tis of the wave and not the rock;
ens but the flapping of the sail,
And not a tent made by the gale ;
In spite of rock and tempest roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee •.
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our ears,
Our faith triumphant o'er our fears,
Are all, with thee—are all with thee.

Joseph Ogle's Narrow Escape.
Joseph Ogle the elder, was one of the earl
iest settlers of the State of Illinois. Soon
after the termination of the Revolutionary
war, he left his native home in Pennsylva
nia, and accompanied by his family, started
for Illinois, the then far west. He soon
reached Pittsburg, formerly Fort du Queens.
The old fort had long been destroyed, and
at that particular period the inhabitants then
made use of a few strong, substantial block
houses, as a means of defence against their
savage -neighbors, who made occasional ir
ruptions into the settlements.. Ogle tarried
at this place for some time, for the purpose
of collecting provisions for his long journey,
and hear, if possible, from below. He had
hopes too, of obtaining company, as the
summer month's were well advanced, on
his perilous journey, in which he partially
succeeded.
11-4 w
During his sojourn at Pittsburg, a consid
erable number of horses and cattle were
suddenly missing, and from the sign, so ea
sily detected by the early backwoodsmen,
it was evident that hostile indians were
about, which readily , actounted for the loss
of the stock. The settlement became alarm
ed, hastily gathered into the blockhouses.
Upon consultation, it was resolved to send
out a few of the bravest men for the pur
pose of hunting alter the lost cattle, and to
ascertain certainly if the savages were near
at hand—Joseph Ogle who readily volun
teered, was deputed to take the most hazar
dous route. Waiting for the sun to get well
up, and dry ofT the heavy dew of the night
previous, to prevent their trail being so ea
sily followed, the party sallied forth upon
their ermnd. Ogle had advanced within a
mile from the fort, and had just passed a
wild region of scrub oak, thorn, shumack,
and ,Ners, a fine hiding-place, when he be
came myna+ of the immediate presence of
Indians. A she: ;lancing forward under
his left arm, and tearitig away a small strip
of his leather hunting frock, but woo plainly
told_ him_that his _foes_had gai !I t / 2_lllA r9ar,
and were between him and his friends. liis
eagle eye took in the dangers with which
he was surrounded, at a glance. Poising
his rifle in his hands, as the pufrof smoke
gently waved away from whence tiie shot
had. been fired, be brought it to a level, and
the next moment its clear report twig through
the hills, as an Indian sprang up' from be
hind a bush, where he had lain Concealed,
and, with a yell, bounded but once forward,
and was dead ! •
¶-Iy.
There was no time. for •releading. Ogle
did,not wait to see the Wrest of his shov—he
knew full well what it would, he when he
fired—but bounded away at the top of hit
speed for a, large Corn field lying atsmt thrse
quarters Of arta Ilistant. The mitt ttod.t
of Intlidithr OWL Woke cpvet,
ling in his rear like a pack of demons. Full
well he knew his doom was sealed, if once
in their clutches. Giving a thought to his
then helpless family, being entirely depen
dant upon him for support, and knowing
they would be under the, most painful ap
prehensions as to his safety, did he nor re
turn by nightfall, he sped on! The corn
field with its full waving grain in full'bloom,
was just before him. Once in it, with his
trusty rifle, and he would feet comparative
ly snfe, as he was sure none of his-pursu
ers would venture singly into the field to
hunt him out. But how to cross the fence,
(a stake-and-rider-fence nine rails .high)and
retain his gun at the same time, was the all
absorbing question in his mind. To clam
ber over would give his foes time to shoot,
as they were barely within long rifle-range.
Cross the fence he must, if he wished to
save his scalp, and if he wished to maintain
an equal chance for life, his gun must go
With him. Straining his nerves to their ut
most tension, when about fifty yards from
the fence, and measuring a panel with his
eye, he approached it in short quick run
ning step, striking about fair rails high with
one of his feet, and catching at the rider,
(top rail)with his left hand, he vaulted over,
gun in hand, so easily, that he afterwards
said it astonished himself. Casting a fur
tive glance behind as his feet struck the
ground on the opposite side, he saw his
foes standing in mute amazement—A—sim—
ultaneous "•Waugh !" from the entire party,
was the Only exclamation of wonderment
from them.
Of course he did not stop to explain the
philosophy of jumping a nine-railfence,
with a gun in his
. hand—but darted offinto
the corm at an angle in the direction of the
fort* to mislead •his pursuers. He saw
them scattering before he was out of sight,
for the purpose of surrounding the field.
The ground within the field (thspks to the
same Indians for preventing its c lture)was
covered with a thick matting of crab-grass,
upon which the foot of one man would
scarcely,leave an impression.
Retaining a stooping posture, a tall man
could keep perfectly concealed in the field,
to which Ogle had escaped. So soon as
he vas far enough within the corn, to be
beyond the range of a rifle, he reloaded,nnd
then commenced a series of gyratory evolu
tions for the purpose of throwing his pur
suers off his trail, in the event of their fol-
lowing him into the field.
He soon satisfied himself that they had
not entered the field, arid feeling assured
that they were still watching for hiin, he
struck out in a direction from the fort and
soon had the good fortune to strike a point
on the edge of the field, where an enormous
tree had been blown down. The rank weeds
had giown to an unusual height around tin;
trunk and roots of the fallen monarch of the
forest. Without disturbing the almost "aud
ible stillness," Ogle quietly slide into a small
open space at the root of the tree where he
could barely .see beyound the fence, which
was not a rod off, so thick were the weeds
by which he was surrounded. Quietly seat
ing himself, with his rifle across his knee,
he drewforth from a side pocket a single
morsel of jerked .vension and a tickler of
pure water, from which he drew a refresh
ing draught.
Elours rolled by-12 o'clock had passed,
and no sound of lurking foe—and Ogle be
gan to hope all danger was past, when sud
denly he heard the cat-likelread of approach
ing footsteps! Nearer and nearer their
stealthy tread came, until he was enabled
to distinguish the approach of. two.. But a
few steps more, and they stopped nearly
opposite to where he lay. Quick as light- .
ning his thumb was on the cock and fore
finger on the trigger ; the next moment re
vealed the featurers of two of his pursuers.
A glance at their laden gaze told him, more
rapidly than words, that they were not aware
of his proximity.
Leaning their guns against the fence,
they quietly clambered up, and seated them
selves on the top rail, in doing which they
threw down one, from the adjoining panel,
which fell within a yard of where Ogle .
lay, but their solid features were not even
turned in that direction by the occurrence.
One drew forth a pipe. which he soon filled
lighted, and commenced smoking, passing
it to.his companion, at the same time invo
king their "medicine" to assist in extermina
ting the whites. Their conversation, made
up of a few short guttural sounds, mingled
with signs plainly indicated to Ogle that he
lie burden of U.

Meanwhile the sun was wheeling its
course rapidly down in the West. The .
st. , adows of the adjacent trees began to be
lengthened out, the millions of insects com
posing a part of the • , orchestra of nature,"
commenced tuning their pipes forthe even
ing serenade, and all nature indicated the
near approach of night. Still the , savages
contibued to occupy the same. Position. At
lastt here ante a call, as familiar to their en
emy as themselves, , and in abOdience they
uietly 'glided from the fence, picked up

forest. .

and start 411 r the fill. Hitt limln were
quite rigid from retaining one posture to
long, and his fingers seemed like sticks.—
He reached the fort in safety, just as his
friends were starting out in force to search
0
for him.
A few days after he started for Illinois,
which he reached in safety, and 'settled in
Ridge Prairie, where he•lived to a green old
age, and died , lamented by numerous rela
ives and friends. Around his memory en
twined many pleasing recollections. His
remains now rest in the burying-ground of
Shiloh-valley, near the flourishing town of
Renville. Other names in the history of
our country may be inscribed higher upon
the scroll of fame, but a truer heart never
best in human breast than that of Joseph
Ogle . .—Spirit of the Times.
Suceess and Failure.
We are often induced to pause and turn
with sorrow if not indignation at the coed
selfish, cruel spirit, which is so generally
manifested by mankind at the downfall of a
fellow creature. Let an individual engage
in an enterprize, however wild, hazardous,
unjust and immorral—and let eminent suc
cess crown his efforts, and he will immedi
ately find thousands of parasites and eulo
-I.The end," with them, "sanctifies
the means." The success renders them for
getful of the immortality, and hence it so
frequently happens that a rich man, who
-may-have-attained-hti--wealth-by-a—system
utterly vile and profligate, is regarded by the'
thoughtless many with far more favor and
respect, than a poor man who has toiled all
his life in an honest, honorable calling, but
who has ever been among the unfortunate
in a pecuniary sense. Success is thus made
to sanctify vice, and the infamous doctrine
is endorsed—" Make money, my son, hon
estly if you can, but by all means make
money r The worship of Mammon is a
prentiling passion in this country. The de
sire to attain wealth is so strong, that puri
ty and integrity nre often disregarded or lost
sight of. How frequently, when a young
lady is spoken of as possessing all the qual
ifications that are calculated to grace and
adorn the female sex, do we hear the ques
tion put by some anxious and mercenary
inquirer—wig she richs'" And so again
with a gentleman under similar circumstan
ces. The anxiety is notts to worth, virtue
probity or intelligence, but •as to wordly
means ! A false system is thasincolceted,
and our sons and daughters , 'grow` up with
the impression that money is the great ob
ject, that all-powerful lever; and that with
money everything else must follow. The
consequence of such a doctrine nre truly
deplorable. Society is rendered 'selfish, cor
rupt, and mercenary—the gentler virtues
are overlooked and undervalued, while the
nobler impulses of nature, command bnt lit
tle respect comparatively speaking.' Only
a few days since we were pained and shock
ed by an expression froin the lips of a youth,.
whose education and sense of propriety
should have tought him better. Alluding
to an individual, he said—"he is quite weal
thy, and therefore highly respectable."—
But this was possibly the creed inculcated
by his mental and moral advisers, and IM
was unconscious, or appearedlo be, of hiv
ing committed an error. Let us not be mis
understood. The man who by a long life
and toil, or who by fair, honorable and suc
cessful enterprise becomes enriched, 'even
Co the amount of hundreds of thousands,
should not be less respected on that account.
Far from it. The rewards,of industry are
every way.honorable.
Our children should be directed to such
an example ; and the prudence of such a
citizen;—his
.integrity, his activity and his
success, should be kept up in every way
worthy of emulation and imitation. But ,
we mean to say that if the successful mer
chant, mechanic, or manufacturer, have a
neighbor every way his•equal in intelligence
in integrity, and 'in all that is' calculated to
enoble and brighten human nature—and
who nevertheless is miserably poOr—he--a

rich and 'the' prosperous.—On the 'contrary,
because of his misfortunes, we should deal
with him more kindry;lnore generously.
We should travel out of the ordinary way
to manifest our.respect, and regard for him.
We should prove that the man, his charac
