j silent during this rapid conversation, and
' who now nodding, followed the White
Pawn and our hero with rapid strides.
A few steps brought the fugitives to a1
brook of running water, into which the
Indian girl rapidly led the way. The
shouts had, meantime, increased, but were
leaving the village, showing that the trail i
had be
begun. After moving down the brook

; daughter suddenly stepped on a shelf of a

braves, instead of hurrying onward, re-
turned again and igain, like baffled
hounds, to the vicinity ot the cave's mouth,
until at last Rochester began to fear that
the hiding-place was known to some of
via
time, triumphing over the heroism to
which she had nerved herself during tho

At last the sounds of pursuit had died
completely away. As yet the cave was
undiscovered.
'Had we not belter pursue our journey
now?' said Rochester, addressing the old
chief.
'No, no,' eagerly interrupted the In
dian maid. 'My white brother will be
sure to fall in with some of my fathers

morrow night, by which time the hunt
will be abandoned we may escape.'
' But what if we are discovered in the
meantime ? They may burn us out like
foxes in a hole,' said Rochester, impetu
ously. ' I don't care for myself, but only
for the "White Fawn; and I'd rather be

Nor
did he. All through that day,
whose hours seemed protracted into ages
and whose unceasing suspence fretted the
nerves of even Rochester nearly past en

had taken charge ot her education, o that,

all that beautiful region.
In later years, when
the settlements
had advanced westward, Rochester pur

Hist! Daughters of Music, the mourners arc nigh'
The Pitcher is broken, the Fountain is dry!
Tis the wail of a widow. Columbia weeps.
The Last ofthe Romans in majesty sleeps!
Come! weave v e a chaplet of olive and bay,
Ourharp's on the willow. Come! wearo we a lay!
How heavy a burden the grasshopper sings:
Wo! wo to the land of o'ershadowing wings'.
Ye halls that have echoed full many a tima
The silvery notes of lus sweetness sublime,
Be ye hung in mourning ! thai music no mora
Shall wake from the Charmer his charming is o'or.
Ye hearts that in rapture have hung on his thrill.
In you its soft murmurs are echoing still.
Let their euphony glide, and their choruses roll.
As waves among rushes die over the shoaL
Let them deepen, and startle, and angrily swell.
Like a rock, that is lushing down mountain and dell;
Let them breathe, let them whisper advice in your oar.
When the dark hour cometh and danger is near;
Let them bum, let them roar when destruction is nigh.
And the war-cry of Liberty rings in the sky!
While Freedom is calling for word or for blow.
Let his bravery nerve and his eloquence glow;
Let them burn in the bosom ol sire and son
While there's Error to vanqish and Truth to La won'
Ye fields, green with harvests naw gathering in peaco.
Take ye up the chorus th.tt never shall cease.
His word o'er the ocean gave peace to the land;
His voice in the Senate linked firmer the band.
Ye fields of long ages where glory is wrought.
Behold what a harvest the Reaper has brought!
In the breach ne'er was wanted a freeman to stand.
While life gave its cunning to CLAY'S fearless hand!
And never was needed a voice in the storm.
While his tongue with its motion and music was warm.
! Shroud the plough and the anvil, the compass and loom;
te artisans gather and kneel round his tomb:
Deck the shrines of Religion in curtains of crape.
And the temples of Learning in cypress leaves drapo;
Hang the porches with garlands that bloom m the shado;
Be the scales of blind Justice in sable arrayed.
Your altars and firesides, yourdomes and your doors.
Be all hung in morning on these. happy shore!
And hushed be the bugle, and silent the drum,
One inch that could heighten his statue of fame!
The twelve thrones of Cajser no Tully could make;
One breath of a Tully their empire could shake.
The tw clve thrones of Cxsar forgotten may lie.
... .
And Ciceto's fame shall resound in the skv;
i The Republic's White Palace shall crumble to earth,
And the leaves of clay's chaplet be green in their birth!
One age and one country his deeds but record.
Posterity claims him herself to reward.
Pass on with his coffin , lead on te the tomb;
A nation of mourners follow after in gloom:
