THE HERO'S LAST HOURS
BY PARKE BENJAMIN. •
"A few morn days, and all must be over with the
Hero of the Hermitage."—Daily paper.
„ . ,
A few more days-and -he sleepin death;
• A few maredaya, Mid unto God who gave,
The dortew old hero must resign his breath,
' Med sink serenely to a tranquil grave:
Sink. like'the sun, more glorious at last
Than When-his ray in broad effulgence glowed,
And overima,atid plain, end mountain,. cast
Meridian splendor from hie high abode.
Vsorvalor„ wisdom. justice, truth renewed,
By tyrants bated, and by freeman blessed,
With all bis country's loftiest honors crowned,
He goes to welcome his eternal rest;
Re st , th at hi s soul has sighed for many years,
With the dear partner of his manhood's prime
hest in a realm undimmed by doubts and fears,
.lieyond the power of change, or sway of time,
•`stataasan and warrior, patriot and sage!
A nation weeps thy late and slow decay;
Vint of t2te liviag great on history's page,
Who will remain, when thou hat passed away?
viirho of that noble band, the tried and 'tern,
. ,&terrof the old heroic stamp and creed,
en whom the present race may look and learn
How to be wise in thought, and bold iu deed!
A fetv more days and over all the land
The bell's deep toll, the cannon's solemn boom
From went° east shall sound the sad command,
"Ye people, mourn yULII hero in the tomb!"
Him, slumbering, peaceful, strife can reach no MOIL
By glory's halo circled his name;
And long, oh feedom, as thy , -agles soar,
All thy new triumphs shall record his fame!
Nevi York, May 19.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE
A n Dr.--, many years ago, travelling in the
West, becamecertai acquainted on board of a steamboat,
with a Mr. Hamilton, who had been a member of the
Legislature from his district, and was again a candi
date for the same office, After passing their time
ess. pleasantly, and bedoming well acquainted with each
other in the course of the trip. Hamilton. on landing,
invited the doctor CO pass to his house in the village,
which was kept by his sister, and tarry with him
whilst he remained in that part of the countiy The
Dr. remained with them a short time, and then depart.
ed on the land-inspecting tour into the interior, which
was the object of his visit to the West.
On leaving the village on horseback, Hamilton ac
companied the Doctor to show him his way, but be
coming interested in the conversation of his compan
ion, and not being particularly engaged at home, he
contineed with him till late in the afternoon, when,
among a number of branching roads, they lost their
way.
Afterjoumeying on until dark, in hope of reaching
sortie house -where they might obtain the requisite di
reetion, they reached, just at night fall, the banks of a
river, on which they found the encampment of three
stout laboring wayfarers, with their families and wag
ons. They asked permission to spend the night with
the patty, and spent a portion of it around the camp
fire engaged in conversation on their various plans of
emigrationand settlement.
Ar daylight preparation s were made for separation
and Dr. -- received from one of the three men the
direction of the desired road. He told hint there were
two roads—called the "sipper" and "lower" roads—
but that the lower one was that which he should take.
He took the one advised, and started with Hamilton.
They went a short distance together. when Hamilton
bade him good bye and left him. But before he de
parted the Dotter told Hamilton that he knew he was
itt embarrassed circumstances, anti wished to aid him
if bectield. He offered to give him $3OO. This Ham
ilton refused, bet finally accepted it as a loan fora short
tineerto.be punctually refunded et the stipulated time.
• Hamilton felt grateful for this 'kindness, and to re
ciprocate his geod-will for this kindness, to his hum
ble means, took a breastpin from Isis, shirt, and giving It
to thedoctor said jocularly, thathe hoped La see it some
day adorning the bosom of some fair daughter of' the
West.. In return for this, the Doctor took a neat pen
knife-from his pocket, on which was a silver plate
milk his same engraved on it, and, in parting, gave
it to Hamilton.
Hamilton had gone but a short distance from the
spot where he had left the Doctor, when he heard the
sharp report of a rifle, and,irnmedintly after a deer
bounded out before him and fell dead on the road.
Hamilton got off Hid horse, to examine the animal,
and doing so, got the cuffs of his shirt sleeves, and
kris, pantaloons and waistcoat bloody. He again
mounted his horse and reached home. As soon as
he did so he changed his clothes, and gave them to
his sister to wash, desiring her to do it at once.
That day' he went round his village and &fleeted
together his various bills, which ke paid. At night,
after closing his office, he stopped at the village tavern,
-on hit way to sae a lady to whom he was engaged to
be married. Several persons came in whilst he was
there, and declared that a murdered man had been
found on a certain road. Hamilton immediately ex
-claimed, 'My God—it must be my friend, the Doctor!'
From the tavern he continued on his way to the
house of his betrothed, and whilst there, her father
came i n with those police officers, who arrested him
fur murder.
He was taken to prison, and was told the circum
'stance that led to suspecting him. He was told that
iewis known he had left the town with the . Doctor,
and was . the fast person with him; that he had been in
difficulties before his return, but had on that day paid
all Ids deb's—that his pistol and his breastpin had
been found beside the body of the murdered Doc
tor; that a knife, with the Doctor's name on it, was
s oun d i n hi s pocket; that he had pretended to lose his
...way it, a country which was well known to him; and,
'finally, that he had tome home with blood stains on
his clothes, which 'he had given to his sister, with or
.derito wash immediately,
On hearing this story recounted, Hamilton threw
up hands and exclaimed —that"ke was a fort man."
He' was tried, convicted, and sentenced. The day
for his execution arrived, . but Hamilton was too ill to
mxire the. final a ct i on of the law, and was respited.
Before this respite had expired, Hamilton died in
airison.
. All the facts had, of course, satisfied the public
weind that the verdict was just, and that Hamilton was
the murderer—but about three years afterwards, one
of the three men with whom our travelers had bivou
acked en the banks of the liver, was tried and convict
ed, is theta( west, of murder. Before his execution,
he confessed that he was the person who had slain the
Oberon—that he had misled him as to the road, and
that he had stolen Hamilton's pistol (with which ho
bad comtnittedthe murder, and left it by the Doctor's
body,) from his bolster daring the night, and after he
Azad heard in the chat around the camp fire that the
'Doctor had money with him, and was engaged is the
purchase of land. g g

norunce cry out loudly against the "Ignorant Pretend
ers," and bribe others to boast for them, which oft
times has gulled the unsuspecting, and for want of a
proper knowledge of the diseases they pretend to cure,
no doubt think they cure when they do not, therefore
they ere to be pitied, but not half so much as those who
take their "miserable compounds," but they not only
lose their money, but miss the advantage of that ne
cessary advice which the real practical physician, is
always able to give. We look to the tailor for an im
provement in the mode ofdrees; to the medical man for
an improvement in the science of medicine --and this
accounts for the great superiority of Dr Surayne's
Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry over all other
medicines ever offered to the public for the cure of all
diseases of the Lungs and Breast, Coughs, Colds,
Consumption, Asthma, Spitting Blood, Liver Com
plaint, Pain in the Side and Breast, Broken Constitu
tion, &c. Remember always to inquire for the name
of Dr Sica3rne, as all preparations which have the
name of Wild Cherry attached were stolen from the
great original preparation. The genuine is only

Sullivan County, East Tenn., Member of
Congress.
Westtimatotr, July 3d, 1345.
Sir—Since I have been 10-this city I have used some
of your Dyspeptic medicine with infinite benefit and
satisfaction, and believe it to be a most valuable reme
dy. One of my constituents, Dr A. Carden ; of Camp
bell county, Tennessee, wrote to me to send him some,
which I did, and he has employed it. very successfully
in his practice and says it is invaluable. MrJohnson,
your agent at this place, thinks you would probably
like en_agent in Tennessee. If so, 1 would recom
mend Dr A Carden, as a proper person to officiate for
the sale of your celebrated medicine. Should you
commissio n him he is willing to act for you. You Min
send the medicine by water to the care of Robert King
& Sons, Knoxville county, Tennessee, or by land to
Graham & Houston, Tamen, East Tennessee. I
have no doubt but if you had agents in several coun.
ties in East Tennessee,a great deal of medicine would
be
own sol. lam going to tafrike some of it home for m u d se, and diet of my ends, and should like to
beer from you whether you would like an agent at
Bluntville, Sullivan County, East Tennessee; I can
get some of the merchants to act for you as-I live near
there. Yours respectfully,
ABRAHAM M'CLELLAN, of Tennessee.
