nom ma CHRISTIAN'S KREFSARIC FOR 183 G.
THE SECRET PRAYER.
IT was a still and solemn hour,
In en isle of the Southern Seas,
And slowlythe shades of night were swept
Away by the morning breeze,
When a lonely son of Britoil stood,
With cheek and brow of care,
Seeking amid the solitude -
A place for secret prayer.
No ear to hear in that silent glen,
No eye but the oyo of God;
Yet the giant fern gave back a voice
to forth the wanderer trod:
."
.They were broken NOUN that Ma hie car,
‘.' e -‘- ‘ And a name was mingled there;
It was limo voice of Christ he heard
And the voice ofsecrot prayer.
A nativo of that savage isle
From the depths of his full lionrt crind,
For mercy, for help, in the hour of need,
For faith in the Crucified!
And peace and hope were in those tones,
So solemnly sweet they were,
For Hn who answers while yet we call
Had blessed that secret prayer.
The morning dawned on that lonely cont,
But a far morn glorious day
Came with the accents of prapr and praise
On the Indian's lips that lay.
The first, the first who had edited on God
In those regions of Satan's care,
The first who had breathed in his native tongue
The language of secret prayer.
And he who that hallowed music hoard,
The mksionary
lone—
Oh! the joy that thrilled thro' his yearning heart
By a stranger may not be known.
But he knelt, and blast the hand that sent,
In the hour of his deep despair,
Comfort and sit ongth to his !hinting soul
With tho voice of that secret prayer.
THE REPOSITORY.
THE DEATH or DE SOTO.
But wind me in a banner bright—
A banner of easiile--
And let the war-drums round me roll
The trumpets o'er me peal!
•
And bury me at noon of night,
When gone is the sultry gleam—
At noon of night, by torches' light,
In the Mississippi stream.
It was in the evening of a sultry day, sul
try almost beyond endurance, although the
season had not advanced beyond the early
•
• spring time—the sun, though shrouded from
• human eyes by a dense veil of moist and
• clammy vapor, was pouring down a flood of
• intolerable heat upon the pathless cane
:. • brakes, and deep bayous—haunts of the vo
racious and unseemly alligator—and the for
ests streaming with excess of vegetation,
through which the endless river rolled its
.dark current. On a steep bluff, projecting
into the bosom of the waters at the colluence
of some nameless tributary attic. vast Mis
sissippi, stood the dwelling of the first white
man that ever trod those boundless solitudes:
it was a rude and shapeless edifice of logs,
hewn from the cypresses and cedars of the
swamp, which lay outstretched for - a thou.
sand miles around,by "hands unused to aught
of base or menial labor;" yet they were there
-certain marks of comfort and even luxury,
to be traced in the decorations and appliances
"of that log cabin; a veil ofsea-green silk was
. : drawn across the aoerature which perforated
• the tnassy timbers of the wall, a heavy dra.
pery of crimson velvet, decked with a fringe
and embroidery of gold, was looped up to the
two lintels, as if to admit whatever breath
, oleir might sweep along the channel of the
. .river. Nor were these,all, a lofty staff was
pitched
.hefore the door which dropped in
gorgeous folds, the yellow banner, rich with
the castled blazonry of Spain; and beside
it a tall warrior—sheathed from head to heel
in burnished armour, with gilded spur, and
belted band, stalked to and fro, as though he
were on duty on some tended plain. in his
ewn land of chivalry and songs. At a short
• . distance in the rear might be observed a
camp, if by that name might be designated
ti confused number abuts, suited for the ac
,, oornitiodation of five hundred men; horses
were piqueted around; spears, decked with
!pennon and pennoncsl, and all the bravery
of knightly warfare, were planted before the
;dwellings of their owners; sentinels,in gleam•
iag mail,paced their accustomed round. But
in that strange encampment, there was no
- mirth; no bustle—not even the low hunt of
• converse, or the note of preparation. The
soldiers glided to and fro, with humble gait
and sad demeanor; the fiery chargers droop
ed their proud heads to the ground, and ap
peared to lack sufficient animation •to dash
- aside the swarms of venomous flies, that fat
tened upon their very life-blood, the huge
• blood hounds,those dread auxiliaries of Span
ish warfare, of which a- score or two were
here and there visible among the cabins, lay
• slumbering in listless indolence, or dragged
therriselves slung after the heels of their mas
ters, with crouching crests, and in attitudes
wid4ly diffeient ont - the fierce activity of
- their usual motiots.
Pestilence and famine were around them,
on the thick and breezeless air--in the dark
waters, in the deep morass, and in the vaults
•of the pine forest, the seeds of death were
•floating—avengers of the luckless tribes,
•
already scattered or enslaved by the iron arm
of European war. Oh! how did they pine
. for. , the clear streams of Gaudalquiver, or
, the ,viney banks of Xeres, for the breezy
, elves of the Apuxarras, or the snow clad
summits of their native Sierrias--those fated
''follosrers of the demon of gold. , How did
- their recollection Boat upon the waving
palms, the orange groves, the hue r tas, and
-.Wads of fair renada! Of all those gallant
`s•Yhundreds who leaped in confidence and hope,
from their proud brigantines, upon the glow
a urea oC Florida glittering in polished
~ ., : •Atet4. and "very gallant with silk upon silk,"
who bad traversed the wild country of the
"r ; Ipisfat Inane , who, had seen the gleam of
arms, . reflected from the black

tittedkatipreries of Missouri ring with the

Abist - tiipsiittlihe terrors of the Spanish name,
;;;:***ll: 'ha barbarous accompaniments of
n i".ll.llllllltitid.tdatighter, through wilds tuttrod
before by feet of civilized man. Of all these
gallant hundreds, but a weak and wasted
mo:ety was destined to reach the shores of
their father land, and that--not as they had
fondly deemed, in the pride, the exultation
and the health of conquest, but in want, and
heaviness, and woe.
The arrows of the savage, and the yet
fiercer arrows of the plague, dearly repaid
the injuries that they had wreaked already
on the wretched natives; dearly repaid, too,
as it were, by anticipation, the wrongs that
their children's children should wreak, in
long perspective,on the forest dwellers( f the
west.
Therein that lone 1110,111(4.e lay the proud
est spirit, the bravest heart, the mi2litiest
intellect, the flivolite of Piz.' rro—the joint
conqueror of Peru! There lay , llerniando
(le Soto, his fiery energies, even more than
the hot fever,wenring away his mortal frame,
his massive brow clopped with the blink
sweat of death; his eye that had Hashed the
more brilliat,tly, the deadlier was the peril
—dim and filmy; his heart sick, sick and
fearfUl, not fir himself, but for his followers;
his hopes`of conquest, fame, dominion, gone
like the leaves of autumn! There he lay,
miserably perishing by inches,tho discoverer
of a world, a world never destined to bless
him or his posterity, with its redundant
riches.
Beside his pallet bed was assembled a
(maim of men, the least renowned of whom
might well have led n royal army to the bat
tle for a crown. But their frames were gaunt
and emaciated, their cheeks ferrowed with
the lines of ea re and agony, both oft he mind
and body; their eyes wet with the scenes of
bitterness. The dark cowled priests had
administered the last rites (irreligion to the
dying warrior, and now watched in breath
less silence, the parting of his spirit. An
indiarrmaiden, of rare symmetry, and love.
liness that whould have been deemed exqui•
site in the brightest halls °fold Cast ile,lean
ed over his pillow,wiping the cold dew from
the conqueror's brow, with her long jetty
locks, and fanning ofr the myriads of von
emus insects, that thronged the tainted air!
There was not a sound in the crowded chum
b , .r, save the heavy sob like breathings of
the dying man, and the occasional whining
ofa tall hound, the noblest of his race, which
sat erect, gazing with almost human intelli
gence upon
. the pallid features of his lord.
Suddenly a light draught 'of air was per
ceptible,the silken veil fluttered inward, and
a heavy rustling sound was audible from
without. As the huge 11)1(19 of the banner
waved in the rising breeze, a sensible cool
ness pervaded the heated chamber, and
reached the languid brow of De Soto, who
had lain for the, last half hour in seeming
lethargy. Heavily, and with a painful ex.
pression, he raised himself upon his elbow.
"Moscoso," he said, "Moscoso, art thou
near me? my eyes wax dim and it will soon
be over. Art thou, for I would speak with
thee?"
"Noble De Soto, 1 am beside thee," he
replied, "say on, I hear and mark thee."
"Give me thy hand." Then, as he re
ceived it, lie raised it on high, and continued
in clear and unalterable tones, though evi•
dently with an effert. "True friend and
fidlower, by this right hand, that has so of
ten fought beside thy own; by this right
hand, I adjure thee to observe and to obey
these my last mandates."
"Shall I swear it?" cried the stern war
rior, whom he addressed in a tone rendered
thick and husky by the violence of his ex
citement. "Shall I swear it!"
"Swear not, Moscoso! leave oaths to
paltry burghers, and to cringing vassals; but
pledge me the unblemishee honors of a Cas
tilian noble; so shall I die in peace!"
"By the unblemished honor of a Castilian
noble:. as I am born a hidalgo, and a belted
knight, I promise thee in spirit, in truth, in
deed and word, and thought, to do thy bid
ding."
"Then, by this token," and be drew a
massive ring from his wasted hand,and plac
ed it on the finger of Moscoso "then by this
token, do I name thee my successor: thee,
the leader of the host, and Captain General
of Spain! sound trumpets,heralds rr►ake proc
lamation!" A moment or two elapsed, and
the wild flourish of the trumpets was heard
without, and the sonorous voices of the her
alds making proclamation; they ceased; but
there was no shout of triumph, or applause.
"Ha, by St. Jago!" cried the dying chief,
"Ha, by St. Jago, this must not be; 'tis
ominous and evil! Go forth, then, Jasco,
and bid them sound again, and let my peo
ple shout for this loyal leader."
It was done, and a gleam of triumphant
satisfaction shot across his hollow features.
He spoke again, but it was with a feeble
voice.
"I am going," ho said, "I .am going
whence there is no return! Now mark me,
by try plighted word I do command you,
battle no farther; strive with the fates not
thrther: for fates are adverse! Conquer not
thou this region, for I have conquered and
it is mine! mine though dying; Mine it
shall be, though dead! March the coast as
ye may, build ye such vessels as may bear
thee from the main and save this remnant
of my people! Wilt thou do this, as thou
hast pledged thyself to do it,noble Moscoso?"
"By all my hopes I will!"
"Me, then, shall ye bury: Not with lam
entations, and with womanish tears,not with
vile sorrow, hut with the rejoicing anthem,
with the blare of the trumpet,and the strong
music of the druin'l Ye shall sheath me to
my mail, with my helmet on my head, and
my !.pur on my heel! With my sword in
my hand shall ve bury me: and with a ban
ner ofCastile f;if my shroud! In the dep!hs.
of the river: dull; river: shall ve bury me!
with lighted torch and volleyed musketry,
at the mid hour of night! For lam a con
queror, a conqueror of a world: a conqueror
with none to brave my arm or to gainsay my
bidding! Where, where is the man savage
or civilized: christain or heathen: Indian or
Spaniard, who path defied Haman 1)e Soto,
and not perished_from
.the earth? Death is
upon me: from the Lord ofearth and heaven?
To him I do submit: but to mortal never!"
Even as he spoke, a warder entered the
low door way, and whispered a brief mes•
sage to Moseoso. Slignt as was the sound
and dim as hanged the senses of De Soto, he
perceived the entrance of the soldier, and
eagerly enquired the purport of the newsl
"A messenger," was the reply, "an Indian
runner from the Nathes."
"Admit him; he bears .übmission; admit
him, so shall I die with triumph in my
heart."
The Indian entered: a man of stern fea-
tures, and of well nigh giant stature. His
head shaven to the chivalrous scalp lock,
was decked with the plumes of the war ea
gle, mi.igled with the fitathers of a gayer
hue, his throat circled by a necklace, strtin
from the claws of the grisly bear and cougar,
fearfully mixed tufts of human hair: his lin•
enments were covered with the bln , .k war
paint: and in his hand the well known em
blem of Indian hostility, a bundle of shafts
hound in the skin ofa rattlesnake.
With .a noiseless step he crossed the
chamber, he filing the deadly gift anon the
death bed of De Soto: he raised the red pipe
to his lips, he puff d theEmoke: and then, in
the wild accents of his native tongue, bore
to the Spaniards the defiance of his tribe
concluding his speech with the oft heard and
unforgotten cadence of the war-whoop.
As the dying leader caught the raised
tone of the Indian's words, his eye hal
frightened, and his brow contracted into a
writhing form. He knew the import of his
speech by the modulati ohs of his voice: his
lips quivered: his chest heaved:' his hands
clutched the thin coverlet, as though they
were grappling in the lance or rapier The
wild notes of the war-whoop rang through
his ears: and in death itself, the ruling pas
sion was prevalent, manifestly, terribly pre•
He spring to hie feet, his form dilating,
and his features flushing with all the ever a
of life, "St. Jago," he shouted, "for Spain!
for Spain! Soto and victory," and with an
impotent efrort to strike, he fell at the feet
of the Indian who had provoked his dying
indignation!
They raised him: but a flood of gore had
gushed from his eyeb, mouth, ears: he had
burst some one of the larger vessels: and
MIS already lifeless ere he strus'k the ground!
The sun had even sunk below the horizon,
and ere the preparations for his funeral had
been completed, it was already midnight.—
Five hundred torches of rosinous pine tree
flashed wi:h their reflections on thu turbid
water, as the barks glif'rd over its surface,
bearing the warrior to his last home.
A train of cowled priests, with pix and
cruciflx,and , itreaming, censor, floated in the
van, making the vaulted woods to echo the
high notes of the 'Fe Doom, chaunted in lieu
of the mournful Miserere over the mortal
part of that ill fated warrior.
But as the canoe in which the corps was
placed came onward: seated erect as he had
ordered it, with the good sword in the dead
hand: the polished helmet glistening above
the sunken features and the gay banner of
Castile floating like a mantle from the shoul
ders: the pealing notes of the trumpet, and
roll of the battle drum, and the Spanish war
c ry, "St. Jago for De S.oto and for Spain"
and the crash of the volleying arquehusses,
might he heard, s'a rting the wild beasts, and
the .wilder India.] of the forest for leagues
around.
There was a deep pause: a deep, deep
pause:'‘rhe discoverer of the Mississippi
slept beneath its waters. He had crossed a
large part of the continent in search ofgold,
and found nothing *remarkable as his bu
rial.pliwe."

MILK If ATS aro now generally worn in many
parts of our country,as well as In Europe, and

the bodies aro stiffened with a composition which

T:ie undersigned is happy in being able to an.
flounce that the objection is entirely obviated, by
his discovery of a Composition jor Stiffening, by
which the bodies of the Hats are rendered suffi
ciently porous to allow the perspiration of the head
to pass freely off, which renders the SILK HAT,
equally with the Beaver, adopted to the health
and comfort of the •wearer, while its decided su.
periority for beauty and economy, must obtain
for it a universal preference.
By the new mode of stiffening, the shape is pre.
served much more perfect, in consequence, of the
stiffening not being affected by the heat of the
sun.

Having been made acquainted with the in
gredients composing Dr Javne's Carminstivei
Balsam, I believe it to be a a very happy com
bination, and a useful medicine in many com
plaints which almost constantly uccur in our
country, such s Bowel Affections of children.
Cholic, Crampa,Lonseness, Drpeptic Disorders
of the Stomach. Coughs, and Affections of the
Breast, together with all those diseases attend
ed with Sourness or the Stomach; and believe
that the regular physician will ofen find it a
useful remedy in his hands, and one that is
proper for domestic use, and can be put into the
hands of persons at large with safety.

Dr. JATNII—Dear Sir--You ask me what
proofs I meet with of the efficacy of your medi
cine. I can safely say that I never prescribed
a medicine for Bowel Complaints that has giv
en me so much satisfaction, and my patients
so speedy and perfect relief as this. Whenever
introduced into • family, it becomes a standing
remedy fur those ailments, and is called fur a
gain and again; which I think a pretty good
proof of its effiracy and u-efulness. In the
Summer Complaint of children, it has frequent
ly appeared to snatch the little victim•. as it
were, from the grave. "It saved the life of my
child, and of such and such a child," I have re
peatedly heard raid. In dysenteric affections
of adults, I have time and again seen it act
like s charm. I% VA give permanent relief in a
few houirs. I may say in a few minutes. In fine.
it is a raluable medicine. and nn family should be
without it. Respectfully,
M. L. KNAPP. M. D.
D'. D JAY NE—Dear Sir.—The curative pour
ers of your Carminative Ba'sam appears to be
fait ly established in all Bowel Complaints, &C.;
■nd from the experience I have had with the
medicine. I am disposed to think very favora
bly of it. I have lately tried it on one of my chil
dren, who was severely handled, ■nd with com
plete success. without the use of any other
medicine. So far as my practice has extended,
I think it a drsideratitm in medicine, especially
among children, who are apt to be affected this
way: and which every practitioner in medicinm
has found to be a very ' mi ld, some di sease .
