But the bondage is now burst, the lion is freed from his-toils, and goaded to madness by the cruel torments which it has been forced to endure; rushes with deadly vengeance upon its oppressors,arieliberty or extirmination are *its fixed resolve.

Are we happy?—then, too, is the beloved object at our side, shar ing with us the height of pleasures, as she had experienced with us. the depths of woe.' Rolofski enjoyed this happiness, loving and beloved by his faithful Christine, the years of his life rolled on in an unbroken stream of brightness, and nothing interposed to break the beautiful charm that so tenderly endear ed to him existence and: all,other things.— The birth of a son, who, as he grew in years seemed to inherit the combined charm of his mother's beauty, with the noble spirit of his sire, mo - r firmly knitted the bonds of affec tion, that had united Rolofski and Christine, and their happiness became the exemplar to which the aspirations of the youths of all the surrounding neighbourhood were addressed. The bolt, however, at length burst; and the sacred banner of liberty was. raised by the oppressed Poles, and patriots from all di ections_enlisted-beneath it,-and-avowed to destroy- - - - the-power-thathad --- bound - them' down in slavery, or yield their lives in the attempt. :Rolofski beheld with joy the res olute steps of his countrymen, and his heart burned to enjoy with them the glory of re deeming the_national character from the ob loquy which had been attached therete; dissuaded, however, from his desire, by the entreaties of Christine, who implored him for her sake 7 . 7 f2lthe sake of his boy—whom the chance of war might render fatherless and protected; -he yielded to the fascinations of home, and displayed his patriotic fervor increlyty - wistirw - , -- to - the - utmost of his power, theJioble spirits that -had devoted - their lives to the redemption of their native land.

The first assault of the patriots had been crowned with success.

In vain did ho picture the, even then, perilous nature of their situation, opposed to such force and discipline—their own power was, considered ample, and the fears of ItoloThki deemed chimerical and vain. He had con ceived, however, too truly, for a band of the government forces burst suddenly upon those -assembled upon this spot, and an action com menced, that terminated in the complete dish pension of the patriots,ir oppressors.
