TllK LAST IMIA.
JlY Xlls M. A. i.r.t.
T'pon that distant rocky shore,
Where the hrocul Pacific's waters roar,
Cazing on that fast rushing tide,
There stood a form of might and pride
An Indian Chief last of his race.
Alone he stood in that wild place ;
A nobler form than hi?, I ween,
On this fair earth is seldom seen.
And proudly glanced his eagle eye
Beneath a forehead broad and high ;
A blanket, striped with many a hue
Of crimson, green and deepest blue,
Was loosely o'er his shoulder (long.
And from his belt his hatchet hung.
The war paint stained his swarthy cheek,
Uouglieiied hy wind and tempest bleak J
Tieside him lay his bow unbent,
And sheath of arrows all unspent.
Ah ! useless now that Chieftan's bow ;
Alone he stands in grief and woe
And gazing on the golden sun,
Whose journey now was nearly done,
His anguish into utterance broke,
And with rais-d hand the Indian spoke :
'Yes. glorious orb, sink to thy rest,
And hide thee in the ocean's breast,
Then rise to-morrow fair and bright,
To greet the waking earth with light ;
And shine again o'er tower and dome
That rise, w here rose the red man's home,
Tnit never mote thy beam shall fall
On Indian hunter's cabin wall.
As bright thou shinest, as on the day
When came the Spaniard's proud array ;
As bright to day thy beaming smile
As when they Came from l'.nglainl's Isle,
Atid freely with the Pilgrim hand
We shared our happy hunting-land,
I'ntil their numbers weak and few,
Into a mighty nation giew.
Then, when the fnemnn stood confest
In him we had received as guest,
We dug the hatchet from the ground,
And in their ears our witr-hoop sound.
Thou saw'st, O, Sun ! full many a plain
Where white men lay by Indian slain ;
And oft the quiet stars look'd down
On burning house and ruined town.
Ah '. vainly b?nt the red man's bow ;
His nation perished sure but slow
Partly by force, but more by fraud,
The pale-face won the forest broad ;
And stately towns and cities grew,
Where erst the wigwiim rose to view,
No more o'er lake or river blue
Shall warrior guide his light canoe;
No more in forest, far or near,
Shall Indian hunter chase the deer;
No more around the council fire
Shall gather youth and grey-haired sire ;
No more upon the battle eve
Shall painted bauds the war-dance weave ;
None follow now the buttle trad,
And none are left their fate to wail.
1 he red man's race from earth has gone,
And I am left alone to mourn,
Ves, set bright tun, beyond my sight,
For me no more shall beam thy light."
lie ceased the sun had gone to rest,
Far in theoeean's western hnast ,
lltightly it's parting rays were cast
On him of Innian race the last.
His bow within his hand he took,
Then plunged into the foaming wav e,
And died, like Indian, warrior, bruve.

Execution of Zrphnm
On the l?tli inet., the extreme penally of Ihu
law wftsi indicted upon Samuel Zephon, convic
ted during March term, 181 1, of the murder ol
CufTue Todd near llolmpsburir. Since his sen
tence the prisoner confessed that he had a
knowledge of the plot made for the robbery of
Tod', and that he was present at the moment
that Johnson and Harris, his comnntiiens, perpe
trated the murder, but he positively denied ha
vin any other participation in the deed. The
watch ofthc tlecroFpd wns found upon him when
arrested and lie acknowledged to having recei
ved a share ot the spoil. Thrice was he res
pited by the late Governor ; in two instances to
afford him time to prrpcte to meet his fate, nnd
the 1at time to give his counsel opportunity to
carty a writ of error to the Supreme Court, the
fate of which was decided on the lflili instr, ad
verse to the hopes of the prisoneV.
The gallows was erected in Ihenrd of Moy
amensing prison, direct iy hack of the South
wins of the building. It was a very alight
structure, with two uprights, nnd a cross piece
at the top. About seven feet from the ground
was the plntlnrBi, supported by an upright post
having a hinge in the centre. About twelve
o'clock a plain walnut coffin was placed beside
the gallows.
The prisoner having expressed a desire to be
detained at the gallows as short a period as pos.
sihle, the warrant for his execution was read to
him in the cell in the presence of the oilieers ot
the prison, the Rev. John Chambers and the
Rev. Mr. (iardiner, thn latter a colored clergy
man. The two clergymen above mentioned
were in attendance, at the request of the con
demned, nnd he joined in the religions services
with much contrition, acknowledging the jus
tice ot his sentence though he asserted his en
tire innocence of the actual deed.
At about half pHst twelve the melancholy
procession lell the cell occupied by the con-
I ileumcd,and proceeded along the gallery and in
to the yard by the demr opening into it on th
South ide of the main building. The Sheriff,
Morton Mc Michael, F.-q , ciime first, accompa
nied hy the Phys'cinn of the prison, Dr. Win,

face enveloped in dark gauze to prevent recog
nition. Mr. Freed the keeper, and Mr. Wool

Mr. (Iibbs, a student of divinity. They Were

B.'hind them came ai. 1). Kelley and Fran
cis Wharton, Inquires, the duputiet of the At-
l tnrney General, and (too. W. Harton, Esq., the
counsel of the prisoner, followed by the juty of
j twelve citienr, summoned hy the 'Sheriff to
I witness the execution. During their progress
to the fatal spot an appropriate hymn wis t--ting
I by the clergymen and others. On arriving nt

, dressed to the Thri.no ol Grace in behnifof the
doomed man by the Rev. Mr. Chambers. He
exchanged a lew words of farewell with the
j Rev, Mr. (iardiner and li s friends around him,
and then mounted the platform with a steady
j step. The ShcnlTand the executioner also as
cended and the last arrangements wete soon
made, lie bide the Shenfl farewell in n firm
nnd composed manner, ami was left alone on the
p'atl'orm. The prop was pulled away, but her
I Tid to relate, owing to the carelessness of (lie
executioner, the rope was too long and the un
fortunate man fell a distance of about seven feet,
ihe cord permitting him to stand erect on the
ground without tightening it. He wns imme
diately lilted up and the mpo removed from his
neck. The i-tnnning cflects of the fall tender
ed him insensible for a moment, but he soon re
vived und t. pi lie to tlmse supporting h nt, askinc
if his feet had not touched the gneinil. In reply
to thtir inquires he said that his feet were hurt,
lilt not h a neck or DTeat.1. The p'atlono be
ing again prepared for him he was lilted up and
placed upon it ; after the rope was adjusted a
second lime, he remained erect without any as
sish'ince. The- Shenll whispered a lew words
of encouragement, to which he replied 'V'iKid-hv,
God bleu you Mr. MrMichaol," end in a few
moments afterward, at twelve tninntes hi fiiro
one o'clock, the unfortunate victim nt ntVended
justice was launched into eternity. Ills dea'h
was com pnru lively easy; a very few quiveiinos
of his chest and limbs followed the fatal ('.'iin je,

Dr. Klupp to be entirely extinct. The body
was sufieied to remain suspended about forty
minutes, w hen it was eut down, placed in the
rc.flin.and delived to the friends cf Lib mother
for interment.
The composure evinced by tho unfortunate
man throughout wns a source of wonder to all
who witnessed the trying circumstances which
attended his execution. He seemed resigned to
liis fate, and met it with a raininess w hich evin

A correspondent of iho. Button Atlas, gives n
very interesting account of the rescue of Miss
Cornelia l'lntt, from the Swallow, hy her own
coolness mid the heroic courage of Mr. James
A. H.ck, under whoso care she hnd been
placed. They were in thn cabin when thv boat
struck, and Mr. Hicks had just secured a settee
and told the lady to cling firmly to it, when
they were swt pt into the river hy a rush of w a
ter. They floated first towards I ludaon, but
had gone but a little way when n little girl, 1
or 5 years old, flouted against them. Mr. II.
seiftcd hold of her and drew her upon the settee.
Her added weight overturned the settee, and
ii. the struggle, Ihe little girl, who had not ut
tered a word but had displayed jjreat coolness,
was lost and drow ned.
The two then changed their course for A
thens. They had thn utmost difficulty to keen
Ihe settee from overturning, and were repeat
rdly grasped hy persons striigijlinr in the wa
ter around them, nnd w hum they w ere forced
to bent off. With one man, w ho attempted to
take the settee from them. Mr. Hicks had a so

ter half an hour, a boat approached and a'ter
sinking lirii c they were taken on board. When
sinking Ihe first time, Mr. Ilics debuted whe
ther he thrvild let go, or cling to the settee.
Fearing if he let gn he conid not find it again,
both sank together, and on coming up the lady,
though insensible, Mill clung to the settee. Hy
great exertions he kept her head above water
a moment, and called to tiu-tn in the boat to
savehir ami Ut him f!- They were both res
cued and recovered. Miss l'lntt, during the
whole fear'iil struggle maintained the most per

It was terrible to hear the moans of the
wretched bullock when ;!:" tiger approached,
lie would tun to Ihe end of his rope, making a
desperate effort to break it, and then lie down
slinking in every limb, and bellowing in the
inost piteor.3 manner. The tiger saw liim
plain enough, but suspecting nomelhing wrong
he walked growling round the tree, 93 if he did
not observe him. At last he made his fatal
spring, with a horrid shriek rather thnn a roar.
I could hear the tortured bullock struggling un

Mr. Caudle has remained down stairs till past
onr, with a friend.
A pretty time of night to rome to bed, Mr,
Caudle. Ugh I As cold, too, as any ice. E
nougl, to give any woman her death, I'm Mire.
What! I shouldn't hnve locked up the coals,
indeed ! If I hadn't, I've no doubt the fellow
would hnve stnid nil night: hj all very well
for you Mr. Caudle, to bring people home but
I wish you'd think first what's for supper. That
benrjtiful leg of prk would have served for onr
dinner to-nmrrow and now it's gone. I can't
keep the Iioufo upon the money, and I won't
pretend to do it, if you bring a mob of peop'i
every night to clear the cupboard.
"I wonder who'll be so ready to give you a
supper when you want one ; lor want one yoit
w.ll, unless you change your plana. Don't tell
me ! I know I'm right. You'll first be eaten
up, and then you'll be laughed at. I know tho
world. No, indeed, Mr. Caudle, I don't think
ill ofevery body ; don't eoy that. But I can't
sec a leg of pork eaten up in that way, without
asking myself what it's oil to end in if such
things go on! And then he must have
pickles, too ! Couldn't be content with my cab
huge no, Mr. Candle, I won't let von no t)
I 8iopp Ifs very well for you to say let you g.,
j to sleep, after you've kept me awake till this
t:mp, vny awatic ow j,, v. u
suppose could go to Bleep, when I knew that
man was below drinking up your substance in
brandy and water 1 for he cou'dn't be content
. irimnieo io uenwi, anu never say a won von.
too, liko a fool I wonder who'd do it for vou
' to insist upon the girl going out for piclie.I
walnuts. And in such a nieht too ! with unow
upon the ground. Yes. ; you're a man of finu
feelings you are, Mr. Caudle! but the world
doesn't know you fine feelings, indeed ! to
spud that poor girl out, when I tc:d you nnj
your friend too a pretty brute he is I'm sure
j tuat the poor gin had a cold and chilbains on
i her toes Edt 1 know that will be the end of
that ; she'll be laid up, nnd we rlnll have a
rice doctor's bid. And you'll piy it, 1 can till
! y" ,nr 1 won'.
j "Wish you were out of the wcrld ! On !
' yt'si that's all very easy, I'm snre I might wisli
it. Don't swear in that dreadful way ! Ai.i't
you alraid the bed will open und swaliow you !
! And don't swing; about in that wiy. That will
j do no g.xid. That won't bring back the leg of
j P"rk and the brandy you've poured down Lot t
i ol your throats. (Jh, I know it I'm sure of if .
1 only recollected it when I'd got into bed
and if it hadn't been pj col.i, you'd have seen
mo down stairs again, I can tell yon I rt-ci.l-lected
it, nnd a pretty two hours I've passed,
that I letl the key in the cupboard and 1 knew
it I could see by iho manner of you when you
came into the room 1 know you've got at thn
other bottle. However, there's one comfort ;
you told me to send f or thn best brandy thn
very best for your other friend, who called laf t
Wednesday. Ha! ha! It was British ti.tj
cheapest British and nice and ill I hope tiu
pair of you will be? to-morrow.
"There's only the bare bone of the leg nf
pork; hut you'll get nothing rise for dinner, I
I can tell you. It'ei a dreadful thing that the poor
children should go without but, if they lnvit
"cli a lather, they, poor thing', must su!'fr
for it.
"Nearly a whole leg of pork and a piril of
brandy ! A pint of brandy nnd a leg of pork.
A leg of leg leg pint"
And mumbling the syllables, rays Mr. Cm
die's MS., she went to sleep.
