MEMORY.
Soft as'rays of 3unlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet, as chimes of low bells pealing
When eve fades away ; . .
Sad as winds at night that moarfj
Through the heath o'er mountain Ionic,
Come the thoughts of days now- gone
On manhood's memory. . , .
As the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light.: .-i
As the bellswhenjades the oven
real not on the night , s
As the night winds cease to sigh.
When the rain falls from the sky,-
Pass the thoughts of days goneby,
From age's memory. '
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,

nil around them, and the tones who had set-
lied in the northern part of the valley, and
there built Winterraoot's Fort, kept the Co
lony in a state of alarm. Tlfby had a fortifi-
cation some few miles below, called Forty
! Fort, from the number of Connecticut pioneers
who settled the valley, and this they strength
ened : it afterwards became famous' in histo
ry. AlmoBt the whole number of able bodied
men, were drawn off to recruit the army un
der Gen. Washington, and the Valley was
left in a. defenceless state. All the aged
men, and the young who were-able to carry
a weapon, were formed into companies to de
, fend the women and children. It was ru
mored that the Torie3 and Indians were pre
nnring ah expedition to ravage the Valley.
'. Congress, in session at Philadelbhia, was ap
j prised of the intention, but with a blindness
j to consequences scarcely credible, to say
"""nothing of the inhumanity of their indiffer
ence, fook no steps to provide against the ap
proaching storm. The. inhabitants were left

were capuble of protecting their wives and
children were detained in the regular army,

ga Point, and embarking in canoes and flats,
they floated gently down the river at the rate
of four or five miles an hour, and before their
approach was suspected, they landed above

Immediately the .British commander sent" to
Col. Z. Butler, in cammand at Forty. Fort,
and demanded a surrender of all the forts,
and the valley which demands were prompt
ly refiibcd. A council of war was called, and

hour, when the vastly superior numbers of
the invaders made it evident that they must
overpower our heroic citizens. One of our
officers gave an order for a change of posi
tion ; on the instant the savages rushed in
with their fiercest yells; the order for a change
of position was mistaken for.a command, to
retreat, and the little army was thrown into
confusion. Col. Z. Butler, with utter disre
gard of his own life, rushed between the lines
and, blending the father with the soldier, cried
"Don't leave-me my children, and victory
is ours." Rut the day was lost. The left
wing was in full flight. Instances of hero
ism not excelled on morel famous fields; are
related of that day. Every captain that led a
company into action was slain. One youth,
just married, fell into the arrhsof his broth
er, and expired, as he had time to say, "I am
killed take care of Lavina." But when the
battle was over, the massacre was only just
begun. A body of the Indians rusned down
to cut off the retreat of the inhabitants, and
prevent them, from regaining the forf. Their
anxious wives and mothers were waiting the
issue of the bloody conflict. 'Many of the
Americans fled through the fields of grain,
and attempted to reach Monocasy island,
where they, were pursued and slain by scores.
Some were tempted by promises of safety,
and butchered as soon as they came. A few
crossed to the eastern shore of the river, and
escaped to the mountains. One of the fugi
tives hid himself in the bushes on the island,
where he was found by Ms own brother, a to
ry, who shot him dead, while he was pray
ing for his life. The Indian marksmen had
singled out officers, and shot them in the
thigh-; so as to disable them, and yet save.
them alive for future torture. CapL Bidlack
