0 ! tell me has summer departed,
Alas ! will it ever return
If not, then I'll die broken-hearted,
And bury me "neath the wild fern
My years are as smoke or a vapour;
My age is as nothing at all;
My life is a ghmering taper; 9
And yet 1 reside in Westall.
0 ! where are my school-mates all nudging",
Who sat with me day after day;
Come, you that have time to be judging
Inform me then quickly I pray.
It may be some of them are climbing.
The ship's masts so rugged and tall ;
An.1 some of them now may be rhyming
With me in the town of Westall.
Alas! there are some of them sleeping,
Heneath the cold clods of the vale;
And some of them sadly are weeping
By hearing some wonderous tale.
But here we are sisteis and biothers,
Upon this terraqueous ball;
Likewise our dear fathers and mothers,
Who dwell in the town of Westall.
But s.uon we shall leave ;.U our troubles,
Our caies and our sorrows behind;
Our pleasures and joys are as bubbles
That break at the touch of the wind
Yes, pleasures and joys oft bring weeping,
And often prove bitter as gall
Tncy meet us whilst wukc or a sleeping,
V iihsn the township of Westall.
Perhaps you may think that the poet
Doth inveil on these matters too long
Ar.d iinaliy say that you know it,
Ho, here is an end to my song.
Lui when you sing this little ditty,
Reflect on those days beyond call;
And to tha poor stranger shew pity
Who stops in the town of Westall.

does from such a respectable source. Col.

mand of Napoleon Bonaparte. ' For iwenlv
three years ho served wuh him in stations of
trust, which tendered ilie most intimate rela-
Hon nercssaiy, and it was only when Napole-

10 examine this prison house of hell. Wc pro

and crucifixes and wax candles in abundance,
but could discover no etidence of iniquity be
ing practiced there, nothing of those peculiar
features which we expected to find in an In
quisition. Mere was beauty and splendor in
the most perfect order on which my eyes had
ever rested. The architecture the proportions
were perfect. The ceiling and floors of wood
were scoured and highly polished. The mar
ble floors were arranged with a strict regard to
order. There was every ihtng to please the
eye and gratify a-cultivated taste; but where
were thoe honid iiihtrnments of lorture oi
which we had been told, and where those dun
geons in which human beings wum siid to l?
buried aih e ? We searched !Rf v'aut. Thv j:u-
ly fathers assured us that they had been belied.
That wo had seen all, and 1 prepared to give
up the search, convinced that this Inquisition
was dille.rent from others of which I had heard.
Out Col. Ue. Lile was not so ready as my
self to give up the search, and said to me Col.,
you are commander to-day, and as you say so
it must be, hut if you will only be advised by
me, let this floor be rxamined more. Let. some
j water be brought in and poured upon it, and wo
will watch and see. if there is any place through
which it passes more freely than others. 1 re
plied to him "do as you please. Col.," and or
dered t ho water to be brought accordingly.
The slabs of marble were large and beautifully
polished. When the water had been poured

did 1101 attempt any longer to restrain them.
They commenced at once the work of torture
with ihe Holy Fathers.- I remained till 1 saw
four different kinds of torture applied, and then
retired from the awful scene, which terminated
not while one individual remained of the former
guilty inmates of this antechamber of hell, on
whom they could wreak revenge. As soon as
the poor sufferers from the cells of ihe Inquisi
tion cdlild with safety, be brought out rif their

John Harris, ihe father of the founder of Har-
rifburg, fixed his habitation at an early day on
the banli of the river, near the present lower
end of the town. He traded extensively with
the Indians, sending his skins and furs to Phil
adelphia on pack horses, and bringing back
ft I'll
j such articles ol merchandize as were uesiraoic
ger. Un one occasion a company 01 1 nutans
came to his house, on their return from a tra
ding excur&iun, many of them being intoxica
ted. They asked him for rum, but were re
fused, as he feared mischief if they should ob
tain more. Enraged ai his refusal, they seized
and tied him to a mulberry tree on the bank of
the river to bum him alive. During their pro
ceedings, a band of friendly Indians in the
neigbqrhood, 10 whom the alarm had by some
means been given, came to his rescue, and he
was released after a severe struggle between
the parlies. In remembrance of this event, he
afterwards directed thai on his death he should
be hurried under the tree where this adventure
occurred. He died about the year 1748, and
according to his request was buried under this
memorable tree, where his remains still repose,
together with those of some of his family.
Part of this iree is yet standing, and is enclosed
in a graveyard 15 feet square, the title to which
is secured by conveyance from the commis
sioners who laid out the town.
A son of this John Harris, also named John,
became ihe proprietor of a large tract of land,
on part of which Harrisburg now stands. Dur
ing his time "Harris' Ferry" became a noted
place, and it is said that twenty years before
the town was laid out, he predicted that il
would become the centre of business in this
pail of the country, and would seme day be ihe
neat of government of Pennsylvania. Accord
ingly, when the town was laid out in 1785, he
conveyed to the commisrfioners four acres of
ground on the hill where the Capitol now
stands, " in tpj'si ior public use, and such pub
lic purposes as Ihe legislature shall hereafter
direct."
