A PARODY ON HOHENLINDEN,
On Wabash. when the sun withdred,
And chill November's tempest blew,
Dark roll'd thy waves. Tippecaisoep
Amidst that lurely solitude.
Where all was silirsee, save the howl
Of wintry blast, or bcding owl,
Or savage yell, as they would prowl,•
In that unbroken wilderness.
But Wabash saw another sight:
A mFtii.l,llost in armor bright:
Itateantped upon the shore th,:t night,
And lighted up her scene! y !
A favor'd spot their Chieftain chose,
For weary soldiers to repose,
But not to sleep, least wily foes
Should creep upon them stealthily.
But ere the rays of morning light
Dispel'd the shades of than night,
The silent arrow sped the flight:
Of death, to every sentinel.,
Then rang the shore.; with savage yell;
Then echoed every hill :ui
And furious as the finds of hell
l{ush'd forth the savage enemy.
To arms they flew, and quick array'd,
Etch warrior drew his battle blade,
While clamorous drum and trumpet bray'd
To wakt the dreadful revelry,
Come on, their Chiftain cried, ye brave,
Ve fight for victory or a grave!
%Valve, Freedom! thy proud banners wave
And charge with all thy chivelry?
Tiled slu,:tt the earth with canntme roar;
Then freemen roll'd in freemen's gore;

And waved his plume ,'er massacre.

MISCEL LAN EOUS.
From the Philadelphia Saturday Courier,
A Cured Hypochondriac.
Of all the evils that beset mankind,
hypo is the worst. We were once inti
mately aerie:tinted with one Jedediah
Jones, a mechanic in the town of B-,
a young man of good talents, doing a fair
profitable business, and every prospect iu
life looking like a summer's day upon him;
yet with all these, Jed was one of the most
miserable beings in creation. lle was
hypochundrical to the top notch; every
thing to his eyes wore a yellow, bilious,
melancholy appearance. Sometimes one
complaint and sometimes another afflict
ed poor Jed, and if yon would take his
word for it, Job's sullerings were but
school-boy's troubles compared with his.
We have frequently been compelled to
laugh, in spite of our politeness, to hear
Jed enumerate his afflictions. Nothing
could persuade him out of his notion, at
one time, of being dyspeptic.
'No,' said he, 'you may talk till you're
tired; but I reckee I ;;now my own com
plaint beat. I sin low spirited, my head
aches every morning, and though . l have a
good appetite, my food does me no good:
always after eating, it feels like so much
lead; and I should like to know if that
aint dyspepsia i"
We knew, from experience there was
no manner of reasoning with Jed, after
the kink was fairly fixed; so we left him
alone with his dyspepsia. When this fit
was on him, he would swallow rhubarb by
the ounce, and all the patent medicines
in town by the package; 'he would walk
out of town evely evening and morning,
cutting up all kinks of antics, running
like a greyhound for awhile, and jumping
Levert fence ia his way. Thus, what with
eunien e, iumping, throwing and walking,
he would finally return, tired sweating
and blowing like a porpoise, and could
scarce raise breath enough to inform its
that he had 'be-en ex•er-cising' himself.
Nor was this all; dieting himself was a
favorite remedy with Jed, while the dys
peptic mania lasted; a few dry crackers
and cold water was all the subsistence he
would take of the good things provided
at his bearding house.
'Ni,, sio,' quoth Jed; 'don't I know that
this ravenous appetite is my worst foe/
aint that one of the greatest signs of dya
pepsia? 1 guess I know.'
Jed might know, but we never did, that
a good appetite was a sigh of any disease;
and so Jed would go on dieting himself,
until he looked more likirawalking ske
leton, than ain in. . .
Another time he thought he had the
liver complaint, and that his lungs were
effected; and that these were caused by
his stooping at the bench. Accordingly lie
set too, and built a bench high enough for
hiss to stand up arid work; but this wis
not enough for Jed; he gut some teethe:
straps, tier inches wide, one to pass over
each shoulder, and another fixed to them
to cross his breast, and buckle behind.
'You see,' said Jed, when describing
this to us, 'by buckling this pretty tight,'
it draws my shoulders back, throws my
breast open, end gives my lungs inure
room to operate.'
'Very true,' we replied, though we
could not help thinking that he looked
inure like a trussed turky than a human
being.
But to the sequel. Jed had an appren
tice, Tom, a smart, intelligent little fel
low; good hemmed roguishness gleamed
in the twinkle of his grey eyes, and play
ed around the corners of his mouth; and
his happy, careless, laughter-loving dispo
sition, made him a favorite with every
one. This Tom was unwittingly the cause
of Jed's cure.
One night we persuaded Jed to accom
pany us to an oyster-teller. We enter
ed a box and sat down, while our stew
was preparing. We had been in but a
minute or two, when we heard the occu
pants of the next hex laughing at some
story one of the number had been telling;
and among the rest, we could plainly dis •
tinguish the hearty catchination of Jed's
boy Toni.
'Mist,' said Jed, 'there's that plagued
boy Tom; let us listen a minute."
But listeners, they say, never hear any
good ct themselves. 'rile event, how
ever, proved, that if Jed did not hear any
good of, he certainly did for himself.
Shortly we heard Tom's voice.
'Boys; said he, 'new we've got through
that yarn, suppose we tell some story of
ourselves.'
'Agreed,' cried his companions, 'and
you begin, Tom.'
'Enough said,' replied Tom; 'no use of
being backward, when sports the word.
I never told you how I work it some
times to get a holidy, did
'No! tell us.'
you all know that my boss has
rather poor health:
'Yes.'
'Blab{' 'Os all fudge ."
' What! aint he sick?'
he'm no more sick than I am.
Ile's got the hypo, the worst way; that's
all ails him.'
Jed began to fidget on his seat.
'But,' continued Toni, 'he's a fine fel.
low and a good boss for all that; and take
him all round as you would a stove pipe,
he's what I call a clever fellow. Now he
would give me a play day most any trine
I'd ask for it; but I dout like to ask too
often. Besides, it does me good. to see
how easy I can deceive him on one sub
ject; and stolen fruit you know, is sweet
est any way. So when I want a resting
spell, as soon as he comes in the shop,
put on my go-to•meeting face, and say,
Jones what's the matter with
you?—you look sick this morning.' 'l',
don't feel very well, that's true,' says he,
'my breast pains me greatly.' 'You do,
indeed, look very pale,' says I, 'you had
better go home, take some medicine, and
gu to bed; probably 'twill work off by to
morrow.' No. I guess I won't' he'd some
times say; 'Mr. such a one's work must
be done.' 'Now, Mr. Jones, you're really
very imprudent; you know hoiv much your
sitting at the l.rcnch hurts you; if you
work to-day I shoultrtit be surprised if!
you had to keep your lied fur a month."
'Well,' says he, '1 dont feel at all well; I
guess I'll go home and taku a little me&
wine. "Then away he'd put for home, and
I'll be hanged if he woultrot keep his bed
all that day. You may be sure there
was'at over a bushel of work dont while
he was
'Why,' cried Tom's companions' he
mast be soft.'
Oaring the whole of this recital, Jed
had been shirting himself from side (aside,
as though the gridiron of St. Lawrence
was beneath him. When Tom got through,
he broke out with 'd—n the boy! go
and give him a complete thrashing.'
'Sit still, Jed,' said we; 'think over the
matt-r: a little. Tom has done no more,
nor halt as much as any othir boy would,
who had penetration enough to see the
truth. I'll bet he has riot often served
you so, has lie 1'
'No,' ricotta Jed,'that's a fact; but:then.,
d—n the boy, I'll learn him!'
'Oh, fudge, sit still, anti now be
convinc'd of what we've often told you that
your sickheas was imaginary; and look ve,
Jed, don't say' - any thing to Toni; but
next time lie undertakes to play that trick
on you, let him see he is tumid wit:
.1 guess take your advice, said Jed.
A )eiv days after tl:is occurrence, Tom,
with his go-to•meeting face, us lie called
it, accosted Jed with—
'Howpale
. yott are Mr. Jones! Are
ythl ()well
'All. Tun, you rogue,' cried Jed, 'you
want a resting day, do your
"I oar changed color quicker than a cha
mdeon; but at length he honestly
'Yes, sir, I should like to go a hunting.'
°MAI, Tom ; you can go; but be here
,to-oiarrow, for business is very
brisk. and I want you to work lively this
week.'
'Yes sir,' said Ton, and oil he went.
A 4 soon an Toni had gone, fed pulled
o his shoulder-bracing machine; knock
ed down his standing•up bench, went
home, threw all of his patent medicines
out of doors; then to the pantry,
and seized a large pumpkin pie, which he
begin to iterwr in short metre.' 'the this
' tress of the boarding house look'd at him in
alarm; she thought his sickness had at
length destroyed his reassu, and a luna
tic stood before her.
'Why, Mr. Jones,' cried the good wo
man, bless me what's the matter!'
'Nothing,' cried Jed, digging most in
dustriously into the New•Eoglatid dish
before 'nothingonly I ara most con•
sarned hungry.'

Extraordinary Case
'Many years ago two respectable sea
faring men arrived late une evening at an
inn in Gravesend with the intention of go
leg aboard their respective vessels its
soon as the tide served on the following
inornir.g. Although strangers to each
other, their similarity of pursuits and. in
tentions induced them to join eachother's
company. They supped together, par
took of a bowl of punch, agreed to sleep
in the same chamber.
In the middle of the night the youngest
of the two travellers was afflicted with a
tit of colic, which obliged him tap ilown
to the common convemence. On his reach
tug the door of the place he found the
string of the labh broken, and he had no
alternative but to retort; to the chamber
to fetch his clasp knife to lift up the latch
There being no light in the room, and
the night very dark, he by mistake took is
knife froM the waistcoat pocket of the el
-1 der man, and returned to the place of con
venienre, where he was detained a consid
lerable time in acute pain. Early on the
following morning the waiter knocked at
the chamber door, and caded out that it
was time to rise, the tide serving—The
younger man got up and dressed himself,
somewhat surprised that the elder did
not respond to his inquiries, but supposed
that he should find him below. •
On arriving in the parlor he asked the
waiter after his chamber-fellow. The
waiter replied that he best, knew, having
slept in the same room with hint. It be
ing usual' fur travellers to present the
waiter with a trifling nouceur, the young
er man drew from his pocket some loose
silver and a knife with a King !Gilliam's
guinea sticking in the haft. The waiter
immediately recognized the guinea as hay
nig been in the posession of the missing
man when the latter discharged his quota
of the supper bill on the preceding Melt.
A suspicion then arose that foul play hail
taken place, and the man was detained
and a constable sent fur; an examination
followed, whets the hands of the younger
man and the kite found in his possession
were discovered to be smeared with blood
Ile was then accused of murdering the
