Harness me down with your iron bands, De sure of your curb and rein ; For I scorn the strength of your puny hand.;, As the tempest eorns a chain ; How I laughed as 1 lay concealed from sight, For many a countless hour, At the childish boast of hut nan might, And the pride of human power. When I saw an army upon the land, A navy upon the sea.i, ' Creeping alonsr, a snail-hke band, Or waiting the wayward breeze; Whrn I saw the peaant faintly reel, With the toil which he daily bore. As he feebly turned a! the tardy wheel, Or tugged at the w eary oar. Vl.en I measured the panting courser's : peed, Or (light of till carrier dove. As they bore the law a king decreed, Or the lines of impatient love; I coidd not but think how the world would feel, As these were outstripped r.fr.r, When 1 should be bound to the ru-dihig w heel, Or chained to the living ear. Ida! Ha!

JENNY BIRCH ; OH, TIIE RESCUE. A TALE OF REVOI.aiO.N'iSV TIMES, isr A. S. liAKKIt. CifAPTEP. I. The Attack. It wp.3 a bright Sunday afternoon, in July, 177G, and the inhabitants of P. Lad as sembled for Divine worship. It is necessary that we should refer our readers back that they may know the existing state of things in II at the time of the commencement of our story. The war had been waging with great fury, and the little settlement of R- had not been ex- empt Brum tlio ravages or tne ruiniess ..uages ,n ; the employ of the British. Numerous attacks ! Kii1 iiin.'li. and several of the inhabitants ! ..u.. , , had been killed ; but all attempts at a general surprise and massacre had failed as from the su perior skill of the brave settlers of R they j were enabled to encounter the Indians in their Cwn mcde of warfare, and were always on their 1 guard. ! Having failed in all attempts to surprise the J settlement, the Indians suddenly disappeared I probably in search of easier .prey. But there v. as I one among them, a young chief, who was slill j determined to accomplish tlie object, and he had greater inducement than plunder revenge ! ! Ondega, the chief, loved but with the wild ; love of a savage the " brightest and best" flow er that bloomed in the valk-v of R Be- 1 fore the war he had endeavored to gain the inaid tu's consent to become his bride, and )m the unstress of bis forest home. But the loely Jen ny Birch had smiled at his vivid and fdowin; representations of happiness, anel endeavoml to teach him that a white maiden could never be happy iu such a situation. But he still perseve red, and she at last refused him kindly and de cidedly. Ondega 's love was now transformed into a bit ter hatred ; and with vows of revenge he disap peared from the settlement, and nothing inore KM heard ff biuj til Uw Vreatiag out vf the Revolutionary" war. whrai news was lutnwltt Wf i 0 ... .r -aoiue in me seiners mat unaetra was on n tae leaders of the .Jevaiu that wore cenlintallv ravaging the surrounding country, and had led one of the parties lliiX at one time attacked the i . ... . , fcent and were repulsed. When this was communicated to Jt-uny Birch, she was very much alarmed, for site remembered the threats of Ondega at parting, ami rightly guessed tfiat lie was endeavoring to carry the threat into execution ; but, on her making known her fears to the settlers, she was assured that no i hand should harm her -tiiic v. av a I man in 11- that could raise a rille. Amons? the most. earnest iir .their efforts io. t aelTielfe;u's" was"L'Xw iu Piersou, a young man i just one year the senior of Jenny twenty. He was nobk-diearted, handsome, intelligent, brave, ; and acknowledged as the best marksman in the ,' settlement. There w as a similarity of sentiment i between Edwin and Jenny, and they were al- ways happy when in each other's company. ! As we have said before, all the Indians Lad ! hit the vicimtv ol 11 but Ondega and his ' fillowers. lie had resolved to take advantage of the fact of the settlers somewhat relaxing their watchliuncss, in consequence ot the a pi a rent va i , , i cation of the country bv the Indians, to make a ' , , .,, , I last and desperate ehort lor revenge.

The next moment, the j strong arms of one of the settlers had forced the i door shut, and not w iiks anding the furious onset made by the savages, he with the aid of one or two others, succeeded in effectually barring the loor, and all si,raii2 to their arms:.

All was confusion among the women and children ; but in a few moments, by a little eiibrt on the part of the pastor, quiet was resto ! red. The Indian captive was placed in a safe place, and measures were taken by the settlers to ren der the di fence more secure. They were well i armed, all having taken their weapons to church j w ith them, and there was a store of ammunition i and provisions. in a vault beneath the church. ; Tlie savages, after having been defeated in their j o'lbrts to enter the church, had drawn off to a j short distance.

Ins fan thy every man was at his post. In a moment the Indians rushed on the church, and notwithstanding the murderous discharge of lire arms that greeted them, carrying death to many of their number, commenced afu rios attack on the door with their hatchets. 1 he settlers continued to pour a galling fire on the savages ; but after some time a break was made through the heavy oak door, sufficient to admit the body ofa man, v. hui a savage leaped through, lie was scarcely inside the church when his head was cleft by an axe in the hand of Mr. Piersou. The Indians now poured through the apper ture, and, although they met with a desperate resistance, were fast accumulating in-ude the door. The door w as unbailed by those who had reached the inside, and all ru.died in cagtr for blood. Put they- were opposed by men fighting for their loved ones and homes. The settlers no longer used rifles but resoriod to their knives, and the manner in which ihey were used showed that it was no new werpon in thtir hands. Eut it was evident that this unequal content could not last much longer. Although none of the scUlcr.s had as yet been killed, scarcely one but was severely wounded. The savages out numbered them two to one. Seeing the despe rate state of things, Jenny Eirch seined a toma hawk which Lad been thrown down, and rushed into the thickest of the fight, and for a moment that tomahawk was suspended in the air and when it descended it carried a messenger of dtath to a bloody savage whose tomahawk was pending over her father's head This was seen by the savages, and for a mo.,l ment hostilities were suspended, and squaw ! squaw 1 burst simultaneously from the lips of each one. At this moment a shout proceeded from the creek, and Edwin Pierson sprang to thc rescue with his brave followers. Ondega caught sight of '. Jenny as she stood with bloody tomahawk still j in her hand, and with a fiendish whoop and up lifted tomahawk, he sprang towards her to strike thc deadly blow. A rifle shot sped through the air, from the unerring rifle of Edwin Pierson , and Ondega was stretched lifeless on the floor. His followers, now witiiout a leader, were easily con quered. We will not attempt to describe the happy scene which followed. Husbands clasped wives ami childre n to their breasts, thc good pastor, although severely wounded iu the conflict, knelt elown and offered up thanks to God for their deliverance. Jenny had swooned from over excitement, and was in the arms eTEelwin Pierson, w ho at length suc ceeded in restoring her to consciousness. The wounded were kindly oared for, and in time recovered. Ondega received a decent burial, as did thc rest of his followers who had been killed. Therein thc centre of tliat little village, in the year 1798, stood an old time worn church. Jt still stood as a monument to the bravery of thc early settlers. That noble looking man, wUMbstynutifvil fto- !-,-,-.. i..:. . i . i , jemim.; win...i'i, u.iu p; aiv ciii.orcu uaiig ing fondly around, is Kdwin Piersnn.
