OH, TELL HE NOT OTBBIOHTIE CLIMES.
BY riSLET JOHSSOX.
Oh. tell me not of brighter clime,
- And fairer lands thin ours ;
"Where all day long the sunbeams sport
With fairy elves and flowers ;
For though their ikies may clearer ha,
Their stars more brightly shine ;
. Yet there's no land can give to me
Such blissful joys as mine. .
Upon the land that gave me birth,
Ko tyrant's feet hate trod ;
And freemen there ne'er bend their knees,
Save to their Maker, God.
Her daughters, too, are fair and brave,
Iteposing, pure and free,
Eeneath the spreading branches of
Fair freedom's lofty tree.
Tho' France may boast her sunny vales,
And Italy her flowers:
Ye none enjoy such liberty,
And happiness, as ours.
Onr skies to us appear as bright,
And none would wish to roam - -In
search of beauty, which abounds
Within our own loved home.
THE OLD RANGER'S LEGEND
OF THE SG'IOTA. '
: - T HEBROX BELL.
- Nature's great Tolame lay open before me,
and I was regaling my intellectual appetite
with brilliant eems. written by the Creator. - I
was seated in his cathedral ; the primeval for
est that stood in lofty, grandeur, undesecrated
by tho . woodman's axe. Iudian summer bad
wrapped its hazy atmosphere around the vari
ed scenes of Central Ohio, a season of the year
most fitted for musing, for ideal imaginations
to league with the favored nine, and cull the
fairest flowers that bloom in the garden ol
posey. Poetry was written on the leaves that
had commenced to fall before the autmnnal
blast. Music was to be heard in the sparkling
waters of the Darby, that flowed towards the
distant Scioto, over a riffle at the foot of tho
bank on which I was seated. And sweeter
than any I had ever heard from the deep toned
organ, and a thousand voices united in the
gorgeous temples of the city, was the music
that flowed from the tiny throats cfa thousand
fair choiristers of the crove. And there was
music in the breeze that swept gently by, waf
ting a trembling leaf from its lofty home, far
away through the air, and anon dropping it
upon the gilding stream, where it sailed like a
miniature bark upon the river f lite.
My rifle, ready loaded, lay unheeded by my
side, while the squirrels jumped from branch
to branch above me, regardless of danger ; and
well they might be, for their gambols were tin
noticed ; while my mind was occupied in the
glad ripple of the rushing waters, and in the
unceasing songs of the birds. The shadows
of the surrounding trees were already growing
long. A solitary crow lit upon a dead tree
near me, but no sooner had he folded his wings,
than bv natural instinct, he became aware of
Lis proximity to danger, and giving a loud
caw he was again upon the wing. Rousing
from my reverie, I watched him until he had
disappeared beyond the neighboring forest
and then with careless purpose, I commenced
kicking about the leaves that covered the brow
of tho hill : mv foot struck something which
sent forth a dull sound, which so excited my
curosity, that I cleared the gathered rubbish
of years, and found a rifle barrel half buried in
the earth. Upon a more careful examination
of the ground, I found the breech-plate and
remnants of the lock. I was busily engaged
in examining each article, and noticing the
inroads that rust and exposure had made upon
it, when I was aroused by the rustle of leaves;
turning in the direction from which the sound
proceeded, I beheld an old veteran known far
and wide, as "Old Ranger." His true name,
no one of my acquaintance knew. When the
l(fpst inhabitants settled upon the banks of
the Darby, he held . undisputedsway through
out the heavy forests, and wild barrens. His
head was while with the frosts ofmany winters,
and his form was bent with age, yet his eye
sight was so good that he could aim a rifle bet
ter than half the boasted shots in the surroun
dins country. I could have wished for no
person more likely to unravel tho mystery that
nnrf-loned the rifle barrel. I saluted the Id
man cordiallv, and desired hlra to reBt awhile.
I have a mystery hero my friend, here is
a rifle barrel that I found just now upon this
bank and I desire to know if you are acqaain
ted with its history," said I. .
Indeed," he replied, and his eyes sparkled,
u-hila nl.l memories seemed to send the life
blood in a swifter current through his veins
Ho took the rust eaten barrel from my hand,
and giving it a careful examination, contin
ued; "You could not havo hit upon a better per
son to explainit than Old Roger."
; "Then I am' lucky and should like to hear
the story."
' - "You shall hear it," he answered, 'for it can.
soon be told.' f a
"It is fifty years since I first trailed deer
along tho banks of the Darby. Early one fall
a man named George Gardner fell in with me,
and after a few days we agreed to camp dur
ing the winter. Some three miles above on
the creek, we built a rough cabin as a protec
tion against the weather, the wild beasts and
the savages.- One pleasant afternoon in this
same month, we started out to take a range
throughout the woods, for the double purpose
of getting a fresh supply of venison, and hunt
ing for a salt lick that we supposed to exist
somewhere between our cabin and the union
of two creeks. Several hour were fpent in
the examination of the banks as far as this,
without any success, and then we thought we
would strike out into the woods, and try our
luck at game. We struck what is now called
the lower end ol Bigot's prairie, just as a small
party of Indians crossed the upper end. As
soon as we saw them, we put back under cover
of the trees, but their sharp eyes detected us,
and then began a tight race. ; Certain death
would be our doom if caught, and our chance
of escape against such odds was but slight.
Throwing aside every encumbrance except our
rifles and hunting-knives, we started down the
creek. . With loud yells they followed closely
upon our trails.
"For nearly two miles we kept the same dis
tance ahead, then taking advantage of a gravel
shore, and a high bluff we crossed the stream
and started up again on the opposite side.
Their yells grew fainter and finally ceased al
together, when we pursued our way more leis
urely, and again crossed the creek, at the riffle
just below what is now called . 1 ord's eddy.
We thought we had evaded the savages, and
stopping a few moments to rest, we listened
attentively, but heard nothing.
"We had intended to camp out when we left
our cabin, but our race put a different nction
into our heads, and we started for home on a
well beaten track, that ran along the bank of
the creek. Gardner was leading the way ; just
as he reached this point, he paused as though
he had heard something ; a rifle cracked, and
the next instant I saw a big Indian step from
behind a tree. Throwing down his rifle, he
approached me with his tomahawk raised above
his head, a deafening whoop rang through the
woods. Quick as lightening I put my rifle to
my shoulder and sent a ball through his brain
Knowing that no time was to bo lost, I started
at full speed to the next riffle above here,
where I crossed the stream again. In less than
an hour I was in my cabin. My eyes did not
shut that night; and my thoughts were any
thing but pleasant. I was perhaps the only
pale face' within a circuit of fifty miles or
more, and at times I could see tho glaring eyes
of poor Gardner set in death just as they ap
peared when he fell. The next morning I pro
ceeded carefully to this spot, and found his
body down there at the verge of the water with
his scalp gone. At the foot of yonder tree I
dug a grave and buried him. Expecting that
the Indians had taken his rifle for a prize I did
not look for it. They must have overlooked
it, for his initials are yet visible upon this
barrel."
It was growing dark in the woods as I par
ted with "Old Ranger," and so deep an im
pression had his story made upon my mind,
that when I beard two cross limbs shriek as
the rising wind moved them, I actually turned
expecting to see a hugh Indian step from be
hind a distant oak, and level a rifle at my
heart. My home, however, was soon reached,
and the rifle barrel was added to my stock of
curiosities, while its sad and fearful history
was uppermost in my mind for months after
ward. Genius of the West.
Gex. S. IIocston os Pierce.- In a recent
speech made by the hero of Ban Jacinto, at
Austin, he paid his respects to President
Pierce in the following terms :
"I charge Mr. Pierce with having trifled
with the best interests of the country. Hfe has
produced a degree of disarrangement in the
political elements of it, which was unknown to
any former period. The old Jackson Democ
racy stood upon principles. They were con
servative, and adhered to the Constitution and
the Union. It would seem an attempt had
been made to engraft upon them others that
were alien in principle, and could not be relied
on without a portion of the Ioavcs and fishes,'
whilst the capital of patronage was expended
in bounties to enlist new recruits, to raise force
sufficient to secure him victory in another
Presidential campaign. Not relying upon
principle he has had recourse to expedience,
and finds himself at this time in the most de-
at
plorable condition that has been known to any
former President-
"His enemies have reason to rejoice at his
situation. It is my country that sustains tho
blow, and no matter whether it results from
his incompetency, or from a misfortune inci
dent to the times, or a want of capacity on his
part to govern the country, I must deplore its
unfortunate condition."
Gov. Wise Issane. The Charleston, Vir
ginia, Advocate says that it had its fears as to
the sanity of Gov. Wise, and wished that its
apprehensions had been wrong, but that this
painful affliction to his family and to the State
is too true for jest. The Advocate continues ;
"We do not know whether the friends of Mr.
Wise wilTobtain a commission de lunatico in-
quirendo, and turn over the government to Lt.
Gov. McComas, or keep the unfortunate Gov
ernor under private surveillance, and let bis
personal and political friends exercise the ex
ecutive function? for him. The difficulty is a
serious one, and we hope that no steps will be
taken without mature reflection."

CROMWELL.
The difference of opinion entertained by
such distinguished writers as Hume, Claren
don, Carlyle, Macaulcy and Gmzot as to the
character of Cromwell, is hardly greater than
as to the causo of the melancholy which over
shadowed the latter part of his life. Was it
remorse for the execution of the King 1 as
it dread of assassination t Was it grief for
the loss of his favorite daughter ? Was it the
disappointment of his hope of founding a dy
nasty ? To all these questions we have now to
add another : Was it fever and ague 1 One
person at least, we think he must be a physi
cian, suggests this physical solution of the rid
dle. He says
"Cromwell died of intermittent fever or a-
. . . - j i a
gue ; next to tne piague, one oi iue most vir
ulent scourges of England in the olden time.
Bishop Burnet tells us, it destroyed and weak
ened so many in one season, that part of the
harvest was lost, from the lack of men or wo
men able to gather the crop. Assuming the
epidemic form, it periodically ravaged Lon
don, until the surrounding marshes, Moorfields,
Wapping, and Lambeth, were drained ; unco
then, the disease has almost totally disappear
ed from the metropolis. Cromwell's father
died of the "cruel ague" himself, when his
son was a young man ; his mother, brothers,
Bisters and servants were grievously afflicted
by it; and his first appearance in public life
was to oppose the crown commissioners, w ho,
with reams of parchment and rolls of red tape,
attempted to obstruct the drainage of the un
healthy fens surrounding his native town of
Huntingdon.
"A well-known psychological fact, connect
ed with the baneful effects of marsh malaria,
is supposed to throw considerable light on the
less understood peculiarities of Cromwell's
character. Hypochondriasis, like ague, is fre
quently caused by atmospheric influence in
the form of malaria, and the peculiar debility
produced by both these diseases, predisposes
the human frame to subsequent attacks. So
the gloomy shadow of an apparently perverted
religious fervor, that ever enveloped the great
man, was probably occasioned by his youthful
residence in the marshes of Huntingdonshire.
The predisposition to ague accompanied Crom
well through life, to the last scene of all. Af
ter the battle of Dunbar, he had a severe at
tacK, aud the subsequent exposure during an
unusually inclement winter, nearly proved fa
tal. In March of the following year, he
"thouebt he should have died," but recovered
till May, when, utterly prostrated, he returned
to Edinburgh, where he became so mucn
worse that at one time his army really believed
he was dead. In June he was so fir recovered
as to be able to go out in a coach, but relapsed,
and another month went over before he was
restored to health. ,
"About seven years afterwards, the P ; Sec
tor, worn and harrassed in body and luind,
watched by the death-bed or his ravorite aaugn
ter, Mrs.Claypole. For a fortnight, she scarce
ly left the chamber, till at hist her excrucia
ting sufferings were terminated by her death.
Intense grief for this amiable woman, proba
bly not unmixed with feelings of remorse, ac
ting on an already enfeebled and predisposed
system, brought on a return of the ague a
last attack of the life-long, insidious enemy,
so often repulsed, but now to conquer ; and in
the memorable tempest of 1658, in the turmoil
of the conflicting elements, Cromwell died.
As Waller, in the inflated style of the period,
tells us :
Nature herself took notice of his death,
And,aighing,swelled the sea with such a breath,
That to remotest shores her omows rotiea
The approaching fate of their great ruler told.
"It is an interesting fact connected with the
last illness of this remarkable man, that pre-
judice prevented his physicians from adminis-
Jesuits' or Peruvian bark. The drug had been
introduced into England about three years be
fore ; but, one Underwood, a London alder
man, having died after taking it, strong Pro-
ttstani prejudice arose against us use. x.tbb
so late as the great no-popery processions that
took place in London after the discovery of
the pretended Meal-tub Plot, in 1679, a box of
Jesuits' bark was carried in mock state, and
ignominiously burned with the pope's mgr.
Nor was it till the commencement of the eigh
teenth century, that by the strenuous exertions
of Sir Hans Slcane, that this truly excellent
medicine became popular."
One other extract from the same writer Is
instructive as showing the revolutions which
Hm effects in public opinion. The most de
voted admirer of the "blessed martyr" at the
present day could hardly read it without a feel--
ing of shame. It suggests, too, another
torical mystery though of less importance.
We read in the Journal of the House of Com-'
tnons, that, on the 8th of December, 1660, it
was "resolved by the Lords and Commons,
assembled in parliament, that the carcasses of
Oliver Cromwell, Henry Ireton, John Brad
shaw, and Thomas Pride, whether buried in ,
Westminster Abbey or elsewhere, be with all
expedition taken up and drawn on n hurdle to
Tyburn, and there hanged up in their coffins
for some time ; and after that, buried under the
said gallows." In conformity to this resolu
tion, two bodiet, saiil to be those of Cromwell
and Ireton, were taken from graves or vaults
in Westminster Abbey, on Saturday the 26th
diy of January, 1661. On the following Mon
day, those two bodies were taken on a cart to
the Red Lion Inn, Uolborn ; and on the same
day, another body, said to be Bradshaw's, was
disinterred, which, the next morning, Tues
day, was also taken to tho Red Lion. On the
following day Wednesday the 30th, the anni
versary of the execution of tho First Charlea
the last indignities were perpetrated on the
three bodies, as we are thus informed by a
newspaper of the period : "To-day, they were
drawn to Tyburn. When these three carca-
ses were at Tyburn, they were pulled ont of t
their coffins, and hanged at the several angles
of that triple tree, where they hung till the
sun was set ; after which they were taken down, ,
their heads cut off, and their loathsome trunks
thrown into a deep hole, under the gallows."
By another newspaper of the time, we learn
that "the heads were placed upon poles, on the
top or Westminster Hall,Bradshaw's being pla
ced in the middle,immediatcly over that part of
tho hall where he had sat as president at the
trial of Charles I. ; the other heads placid on
either side."
"The above are all the traces left of this re
volting affair. Why three bodies only were
desecrated, instead of the four decreed by the
resolution of parliament ; why they were pul
led out of the coffins, as the newspaper states,
instead of being hanged up in them, as the res
olution specially directed ; why they were ta
ken to the Red Lion at all, are enigmas impos
sible of solution at the present day. Moreo
ver, it is, to say the least, exceedingly doubt
ful whether any of those desecrated bodies
was the mortal remains of Oliver Cromwell.
Where he really was buried, is a question that "
has never yet, and probably never will be sat
isfactorily answered."
THE WORLD'S BEHEFACT0&.
Who, that has had opportunities of reading,
bnt lias heard of the philanthropist, Howard,
the greatest part of whose life was spent in vis
iting the prisons of Europe, and administer
ing relief to countless numbers of suffering in
mates, and whose name will go down to remo
test time, crowned with the honors which mil
lions yet unborn will bestow upon it 1 In the
same category we may place the name of Miss
Nightingale, the devoted, slf-sacrificing he
roine of the Crimea. . But while we give due
honors to such names, we should do injustice
to a noble and generous heart, were we, for
one moment, to forget the name of Hollow At.
The possessor of an immense fortune, which
would allow him to traverse the world in search
of pleasure, he chooses, instead, to devote hia
leisure and his talents to the benefit of hia fellow-creatures,
by dispensing among them the
most remarkable remedies ever yet compound
ed, and which he himself discovered after
years of unremitting toil and research through
out the vast cabinet of nature. To these re
searches Professor Holloway was first incited
by the enormous amount of suffering from va
rious diseases which he everywhere saw a.
round, and the sad inefficiency of medical art
to meet and vanquish them ; and the success
which has met him at every step yet no great
er than ho anticipated ias proved his well
earned reward. So great, indeed, has become
the popularity of his medicines, even in the
remotest corners of the earth, that hia parent
establishment in London outstrips the largest
in the world ; and their marvellous virtue
have boen extolled in almost every language
from pole to pole. We have seen innumera
ble testimonials from persons who have used
these remedies stacks upon stacks in which
their wonderful powers are extolled in the
highest degree. In a climate so variable as
ours, the most insidious diseases are likely to
take root before the patient himself is aware
of it, and an immense amount of suffering is
thereby entailed, in many cases causing death
in fault of ignorance of the proper remedies,
which, applitd in time, would have prevented
the fatal esult. In every case of incipient
disease, and even in cases far gone, recourse
to Professor Holloway'a never-faumg reme
dies will save months of painful illness, if not
life itself. We do not overrate the man, nor"
bis medicines ; but what we are confident of.
we axe willing to bear testimony in its favor ;
and as far as our absolute knowledge extends,
covering a space of years, we feel competent
to apeak upon-the subject in the warmest
terms. Therefore, it our earneat wish that
not a family fn the land should be Ignorant of
the Professor's remedies, and that they shoubi
always be kept on hand to use in cases of sud
den illness, as they will operate aa well aspre
ventiyes as curatives ; while there is no poe?i
bilitv of danger to the system arising frem
their use. Boston neZigenrer.
