"Dost Thou ever Thiak of Me ?"
Yes, friend, I often think of limp,
Though months have glided by
Since I have heard thy merry tone,
Or seen thy laughing eye.
Yet Memory speaks of happy hours
Spent in the days of yore,
When earth seemed one bright scene of bliss
And life a passing hour.
And I will ever think of thee
Till Death el,•tims thee his bride,
And nsk that bright winged angels may
Thy footsteeps ever guide.
And %when thy spirit safely lands
On Uanaan's peaceful shore,
And with the ransomed of the Lord
Sings all its troubles o'er,—
When clothed in white with harp of gold,
Before the throne I see
Thy happy spirit joyous stand,
Then, z•ns I'll think of thee.

CAPTAIN BRADY
And Cornpla,ntorn
Many of the wild legends ofliorder strife and
idian barbarity that have been enacted along
e sliores of the Allegheny and Ohio have never
con rescued from the dim and fading remenr
prances of a past age. But occasionally a story
of thrilling interest is snatched from the linger
ing records of the red man.
The story I am about to relate I received from
an old Indian pilot of the Allegheny. It was
ninny years ago, when the stern old Chief, Corn •
planter, (whose remains now repose in silence
and loneliness on the banks of that beautiful
river he loved so well,) was in his glory. His
tribe rimmed over the dense and unbroken for
ests along its banks, fearless, unmolested and
free.
His people were hostile to the whiles, and
never lost an opportunity to lie in ambush and
seize the lonely voyager as he descended the
river, and consign him lo the stake and torture.
But the watchful, shrewd and deadly foe of
Cornplanter and the whole " tawny race" was
the indomitable and feailess Captain Samuel
Brady. This veteran pioneer and Indian hun
ter was one of those noble specimens of the
hardy foresters who plunged fearlessly into the
interminable forests that then overspread so
large a portion of the Western States.
Like Daniel .Boone, Lewis Weisel, Simon
Kenton, and others, the deadly hate of the In
dian, and his burning passion for hunting them
clown, amounted to a monomania. This hatred
was in consequence of the wrongs they had in
flicted upon tits family—his father, Capt. John
Brady, and his brother having fallen victims to
the tomahawk and scalping knife.
The scene of the present story is at a place
known to boatmen and raftsmen as " Brady's
Bend," and where now the noise and bustle of a
new manufacturing town called the tt Great
Western" resounds along the shores that then
echoed only to the whoop of the savage or the
panther's scream.
It is a bend in the river of nine miles in
length, and is sometimes called the " Nine mile
Bend," and is scarcely half a mile across the
neck. Here, in this bend, COrnplanter, return
ed from some unsuccessful inroads upon the
whites, had secured several prisoners, by ty
ing them to as many trees, while his swarthy
and hideously painted followers were busy in
making preparations for the faggot and the tor
ture. -
The stake was erected and the faggots pre
pared with all the coolness and refinement of
Indian barbarity. It was a beautiful evening ;
the sun was just sinking behind the lofty hill
upon the opposite shore. Calmness had thrown
its oily wand upon the Allegheny's crystal tide,
and it slept. The full, round moon just burst
ing thro' the tree tops behind them, sailed
calmly through the distant blue, and cast its
mellow beams upon, the sleeping river, and
danced upon its placid bosom.
The melancholy note of the whip-poor-will
from the adjoining thicket fell sweetly upon the
ear. The victims were unbound and led forth
to the place of torture. At this moment, a
Voice, high up among the frowning rocks that
loomed out from the thick hemlocks that crown
ed t:te hill opposite, hailed Cornplanter in the
Indian tongue, informed him that he was au In
dian warrior, just returned front the war path
with a goodly number of prisoners.
He desired that the ceremonies of the torture.
might be suspended until he could ford the river
and joiu them, when they could celebrate the oc
casion with unusual demonstrations of savage .
rejoicings. To this Cornplanter consented.—
The flames that had been kindled were extin
guished, and the prisoners again bound to the
trees.
In the meantime, Brady, for it was ho who

had deceived the wild Indian, with a body o
men moved silently up the river to a place
known as" Trilby's Ripple," and there fording
the river, drew his men up across the neck of
the bend, and moved noiselessly upon the sava
ges. So cautious was his approach that the In
dians were completely cut off from retreat be
fore they became alarmed. ,
Brady's men hemmed them in from behind,
while the Allegheny rolled in front. The inti
mation to the savage of his approach was com
municated from a deadly discharge from his un
erring rifle. The 'lndians fought with desper
ation, but were overpowered : all were killed or
taken prisoners, save the Uhler, Complainer,
who finding himself alone, plunged -itito the
river and swam for the other shore.
Being a good swimmer, he remained several
minutes under water, but as he rose for breath
he was greeted with a shower of bullets. In
this way, alternately swimming under water as
lung as he could hold his breath, NO then ris
ing to the surface, he escaped unhurt, and
reaching the other side in safety, secreted him
self behind a large standing rocking.
The prisoners were of course unbound, and
all joined in the jollifications and joy at their
timely and unhooked for release. The rock
that shielded Cornptauter from Brady's bullets
was pointed out to me by the old Indian, in a
recent trip down the river. It is known as
" Complanter's flock." Tho old . Indian gave
me the story with a dejected countenance, in
broken English.
" Alas ! what a change ! When then the'
sheeny tide of the beauteous Allegheny parted
only to the swift skimming birchen canoe and
echoed to the wild voices that came out of the
dense, dark forest, now is heard the shrill
whistle of the steam pipe and the rushing of
the mighty steamer. IVhere the tawny savage
then reclined upon the banks from the pursuit
of the deer, the panther and the bear, or rested
from the war path, is now the scene of life and •
activity.
The tall old forest has receded from the ad
vance of civilization, and given place to farms,
beautiful villas, and hustling towns. The In
dian, too, has passed away ; but a few, and
they but miserable decaying relics of what
they once were, are now occasionally seen, the
descendants of the proud race that once could
call these hills, and groves, and rivers all thtir
Alas ! in the language of the poet
CM
" Chieftains and their tribes hare perished,
Like the thickets where they grew."
How they Bury the Poor in Nen . York.
The spot appropriated by the City of New
Volk for entombing the poor and friendless is
situated upon Ward'slsland, adjoining the roar
ing pot in the East River known as Ilell Gate,
and nearly opposite Ono Hundred and Sixth
street. A large wagon daily conveys the dead
that are to be buried at the City's expense to
the river -..side near Bellevue Hospital. Its con
tents, in plain substantial coffins, are trans
ferred to a row•bOat and so borne to the land
ing house, which stands by the head of a small
wharf on the southern end of Ward's Island,
thence by an easy sweep the roads leading to
a large receiving vault at the western hill end
of the cemetery. This vault is an admirably
constructed tomb which has not yet been put
to use, being scarcely now completed. In it
are air-tight separate chambers, where the
bodies of those that have died suddenly arc re
tained a few days after death, to facilitate
recognition by friends. A forcing, pump con
necting with a well at some distance, and with
drains and sewers, enables all necessary clean
liness to be enforced. With a supply of ice
there is no difficulty in preserving unmarred
the features of the unrecognized dead for just
so long a time as may be deemed desirable.
But those who have died uneared fur by any
but strangers, or by those whom the City's
blessed cljarity 'has made friends, are not
stopped here. They arc carried directly into
the cemetery. And what fashion of place is.
Potter's Field ? Some two acres are enclosed
within a tight board fence. One corner of the
enclosure you will notice is graded some four
feet higher than _the rest. Under this aro
three trenches filled, and hi them there lie the
_remains of sixteen thousand people, all deposit
ed within a few months. The fourth trench
has been open only a few weeks. Already it
has over 500 buried in it. This trench is dug •
15 feet deep, 300 feet long and 18 feet wide.—
They begin to bury at one end of it. • The
trench is wide enough to admit three coffins
lying end to end, and they are piled till the
uppermost is within two feet of the surface,—
The average of daily burials here at present is
eighteen, or ono hundred and twentpfive
week. During hot weather the corpses arrive •
in the early morning and after nightfall. When
the new arrivals are announced at the trench
the diggers throw aside the little dirt that
covers the last lot, depcisit the pew ones and
cover them. When the Whole trench is filled,
the earth of a now trench is thrown upon the
late one, and it is graded off like the mound
before spoken- of, some four feet- above the
former surface. This is done, because when
SEPTEMBER 12, 1855.
the coffins decay the earth sinks. The mound
is to be turfed so soon as it has settled, and
cedars, willows, and other appropriate trees
planted. An offensive odor meets the visitor
fhr away from the spot, but standing, by the
open trench it is intolerable. 'With the wind
west, we are told that it was wafted—a horrible
stench—to the sick in the hospitals on the
other end of the Island ; and, if we were told
that it sometimes is borne across the )last
River to the delightful, residences of the gran
dees on that shore, we should think it no mar
•vel. Of thoso buried here the Commission
ers of Emigration generally send up one third,
though at seasons the emigrant proportion is
larger. If any poor unfortunate has a friend
who will request it, his body is given a separate
grave. If one at the Almshouse dies, his old
mate's wish is heeded to place him in another
part of the yard, and a head-stone, if any care
to erect it, or a board with the name and age
painted on it, if that alone can be afforded will
mark the spot. litany such single graves there
are already, Alt ! reader, it is good that it is
only in imagination you are visiting Potter's
Field. We will not dwell upon the reasons
however. It is no wonder that the sailors
look up with a•shudder at. the spot when they
pass through Hell (late at Midnight. If the
spirits of the dead hover over their mortal
resting place, where the moon looks down upon
them, what a congregation must crown that
hill. Shtteen thousand ghosts of newly buried
men, women, and children,, gibbering in the
night wind, or inutely gliding and *noiselessly
jostling each other—too thick . .to sit and weep
over their unhonored sepulture! Cold chills
creep through the mariner's veins at the
thought, and the hair of his flesh rises up.—
Let us drop the subject
The City of Moscow.
There is one gate to the Kremlin, called the
Spars Vorota. On going through this gate, if'
the thermometer v.-ere 30 deg. below zero, the
Emperor would be compelled to take off his hat
and keep it off all the way. No one is allowed
to -go thaou,- 1 ,11 covered, nod dogP are not-allow-
ed to pass through at. all. It s:ierial on ac
count of a picture of tic Saviour whir!; hangs
above it;:.and which is said to, have worked
miracles to save the gate. Many times when
the Tartars attached the city, miraculous
clouds obscured the entrance from them, while
the believers were safe within. In the
French tried to nlount tip to the picture to ob
tain the gold from it, but the ladder hrolre in
the middle.. Enraged at the failure, they at
tempted to batter it down with a cannon, but
the cannon, would not go on so they built a
fire over the vent, but lo ! the cannon burst
into 10,000 pieces, and the French were killed
right and left. (You may rely upon the truth
of this, because the doorkeeper told me so.) If%
one attempts to pass thishte covered, he hears
the sentry cry, The hat ! the hat, father !"
and should he persist, the interior.of a Russian
guard house would be the first interior• his eyes
would rest upon. But we always conform to
the custom of whatever country we are in.
•I must give you an account: of our visit • to a
,Tartar mosque. When we first went in, about
a hundred Tartars were squatted upon the
floor, every now and then diving down to touch
their foreheads to the earth and pray. 'Finally
one arose and began to howl. The howl called
forth a priest, who went into a little pulpit, and
catching a cane, which the first performer gave
him, commenced a yelling, to which the firstly:lS
only a whisper. Pausing only to take breath
from time to time, Ile sang what sounded like
" Highland Laddie," only as would say,
" more so." Ile continued this for half an hour,
when all the believers arose and formed fourlirres
across the church, like cotillions at Washing
ton, (only a great deal less stupid,) and such a
bowing and tumbling ensued, that my risible
faculties were highly excited. The fiaaie con
sisted in making the significant sign •of n„
you don't" •at each ear, and turning to the East,
and the whole ceremony was over, except that
the pious few contrived tolumble till dark.
We have just returned from the governor
General's reception, and the grand Te Donut in
honor of the Emperor. We were accompaniel
by Prince Olidenskor, one of the Soereign'
aids. He received us with marked kindnes‘
, and attention, and invited us to visit 'him et
tiuni/e. Ile was detained at the bedside of hi:
dying father, and consequently was obliged t.
break his engagement with us and to transfer
us to the care of another aid-de-camp of th
Governor General. Here we found the grea
dignitaries of Moscow assembled, and at th
presentation we had the first audience. A.

A YUElrrifiN SUNDAY.
As every matter connected with the social
life and customs of the first settlers of New
England is of such interest to their ilcscendants,
wa propose in a few short articles, to give as
correct a description of " Sunday in New Eng
land" two hundred years ago, as we can col
lect from our local annals. The Puritan Sab
bath commenced on Saturday afternoon. No
labor was performed on tl:c evening which pre
ceded the Lord's Day. Early on Sunday morn
ing, the blowing of a horn in sonic villages an
nounced that the hour of worship was at hand.
In other places a flag was hung out of the rude
building cccupied by the church. In Cam
bridge a drum was beat in military , style. In
Salem a bell indicated the opulence of the set
tlement. The religious' ceremonies usually
commenced at nine o'clock in the morning, and
occupied from six to eight hours, divided by an
intermission of ono hour for dinner. The peo
ple collected quiteunclually, as the law C3lll.
pelled their attendance, and there was a heavy
line for any one that rode too fast to mecting.—'
The sexton called upon the minister and es: ,
corded him to the church in the same fashion
that the sheriff now conducts the judge into out
State courts• The minister was clothed with
mysterious awe and great sanctity by the peo
ple, and so.intense was thiiisentiment that eve
the minister's family were regarded as demi
gods. The Puritan Meeting 'louse was an od
structure. The first ones erected by the Colo
!lists were built of logs, and had a cannon of
the top. Those standing two centuries ag
were built of brick, with clay plastered civet
the coni.•es, and covered With clay-boards, now
called clap boards. The roof was thatched a.
buildings are now seen in Canada East. Kea
Cie church edifice stood those ancient institu
bons,—the :7to;!ks—the whipping post—and
large wcoihn cage to confine offenders agains
the laws.. Upon the outside of the church an
fast( mil to the walls, were the heads of all th
wolves hill «I during the season. In front c
the church in many towns, an armed sentr
stood, dressed in •the habiliments of war.
There were no pews in the church. The., col
gregation had places assigned them' upon the
rude benches, at annual town meeting, accord
ing to their age and social position. " Seating
the meeting house," as it was called, was a
delicate and difficult business, as pride, envy
and jealousy were active passions in those days..
A person was fined, if he occupied a seat as
signed to another. The elders, occupied scats
beneath the pulpit. The boys were ordered to
sit upon the gallery stairs, and as boys
always will be,boys," there constables were em
ployed to keep them in order. Prominent be.
fore the assembly some wretched male'or female
offender sat with a scarlet letter " A" cr " D"

the following expedient to enjoy the company of
their lovers. After the old man had retired to'
rest, the girls would hang a sheet out of the"
window, and the beau would seize hold of the
sheet and with the assistance of his lady love,
who tugged lustily above would thus gain au.
entrance ; but it so happened that one evening
the girls hung out the sheet too early, for the
old man, by some ill-wind, was accidently'
around the corner, and spying the shdet, could
not conjecture the meaning of its being there ; -
so he caught hold and endeaVored to pull it

their beaux, began to hoist, and did not dis

was level with the window sill, when one of
them exclaimed, ".Oh Lord! 'tis dad !" and'

man to the hard ground, dislocating one shoul
