I REMEMBER. 1 remember, I remember, When I just began to creep, How I crawled straight into mischief— How I wouldn’tgo tosleep— How I pulled the table linen, With its contents on the floor, Row my mother spanked me for it, Till my tender flesh was sore. I remember, I remember, When 1 first began to talk; And I also well remember, Well I he day 1 tried to walk; Firm I grasped old Jowler’sci liar, But he gave a sudden hop, So into a pan of water, Jowler spilt thia child, 'ker slop. 1 remember, I remember. When I used to go to school, How I kept a watchful eye upon The master’s rod and rule; How I cutup monkey shines - When e’er his back was turned— How I sometimes used to catch it, When I’d not my lesson learned. I remember, I remember, When 1 went a hooking peaches, How a dog came out and caught me By the surplus of breeches; How I hung on to the bushes— How the dog hung fast tome, Till my crying brought a man who Flogged me most "orful lee.” A EEG END OF NEW ENGLAND. BY JOHN O. WAITTIER. ———• ‘Shrieks—fiendish yells,-—they stab I them in their sleep.’ One hundred years ago!—the hunter, who ranged the hills and forests of New England,—fought against other enemys j than the brown bear and tiie panther.— | The husbandman, as ho toiled in the: plain; or the narrow clearing, kept close! at his side a loaded weapon, and wrought dilligently and firmly in the midst of peril. The frequent crack of the Indian’s I rille wag heard in the still depths of the forest—the death knell of the unweary hunter; andev<r and anon, the flame of! some departed farm house, whose dwellers had been slaughtered by some merciless foe, rose redly upon tho darkness of the night time. The wild and Cry eyes of the heathen gleamed through the thick underwood of the forest upon tho passing of the worshippers of the only true God, and the war-hoop rang shrill and loud under the very walls of the sanctuary of! prayer. Perhaps no part of New England affords a wider field for the researches of the legendary, than that portion of Massachusetts Bay, formerly known as the I province of Maine. There the ferocious 1 Norridgewock held his stern councils, and j there, the tribes of the Penobscot went 1 forth with song and dance to do battle) upon the white man. There the romantic 1 and chivalrous Castine immurred himself in the forest solitudes, and there, the | high hearted Rnllc—the mild, gifted Je-i suit—gathered together the broken strength of tho Norridgewock, and built up in the great wilderness a temple to the true God. There, too ho perished with many wounds at the very foot of the cross — which his own hand had planted. And the Norridgewock fell—ono after another, in stern and uncompromising pride, neither asking nor giving quarters, as they resisted the white spoiler upon the threshold of their consecrated place of worship, and in view of their wives and children. . The following is one, among many leg-' ends, of the strange encounters of the W bite Man, and the Indian, which are yet preseved in the ancient records and traditions of Maine. The simple and unvarnished narrative is only given. ‘lt was a sultry evening towards the List of June, 1722, that Cantain Herman and the Eastearn Rangers urged their canoes up the Kennebec river in pursuit of their enemies. For hours they toiled diliigeuily at the oar. The last traces ol civlization was left behind, and the long shadows of the skirting forest met and blended on the middle of broad stream, which wound darkly through them. At every sound from the adjacent shores—the rustling wind of some night bird, or the footsteps of some wild beast—the dash of the oar was suspended, and the rangers grasp tightened upon his rifle. All knew the peril of the enterprise: and that silence which is natural of jeopardy, settled like a cloud upon the midnight adventurers. 'Hush—softly men!' said the watchfnl Hermon, in a voice which scarcely rose above a hoarse whisper, as the canoe swept around a ruggid premonotory, ‘There a fight ahead 1 ’ All eyes were bent towards the shore A tall Indian’s fire gleamed up amidst the .neat oaks, casting a red and strong light upon the daik walers. For a single and breathless moment the operation of the

oar was suspended, and every ear listen)ed with painful earnestness to catch the well-known sound, which seldom failed to indicate the propinquity of the savages. But all was now silent. With slow and faint movement of the oar, the canoes I gradually approached the suspected soot. I The landing was effected in silence. Afi ter moving cautiously for a considerable ! distance in the dark shadow, the party at I length ventured within the broad circle of the light, which first attracted their attention. Hermon was at their head, with j an eye and a hand, quick as those of the savage enemy’ whom he sought. The trunk of a fallen tree lay across the path. As the rangers were on the point of leaping over it, the coarse whisper of. Hermon again broke the silence. ‘God of heavens!’ he exclaimed, pointing to the tree. ‘See here!—’tis the i work of the cursed redskins!’ A smoothered curse growled upon the lips of the rangers, us they bent firmly ' forward in the direction pointing out by i their commander. Blood was sprinkled )on the rank grass and the hand of some I ! white man lay on the bloody logThere was not a word spoken, but every countenance worked with terrible emotion. Had the rangers followed their own desperate inclination, they would have hurried onward to the work of vengeance; but the example of tho leader, who had regained bis usual calmness and self-command prepared them for less speedy, but more certain triumph. Cautiously passing over the fearful obstacles in the pathway, and closely followed by his companions he advanced stealthily and cautiously upon the light, biding himself and his party as much as possible , behind the thick trees. In a few mo- 1 ments they obtained a full view of the ob- . iects of their search. Stretched at their ! J * I length around a huge fire, but at a convenient distance from it, lay tho painted 1 and half-naked forms of twenty savages. , It was evident from their appearance, that ! they passed the day in one of their horrid j revels, and that they were now suffering 1 under the effects of intoxication. Occa- , sionally a grim warrior among them started half upright, grasping the tomahalk . to combat some vision of his distort-j! ed brain, but unable to shake off the stu-' por from his senses uniformity fell back into his former position. The rangers crept near. As they bent their keen eyes along their well-tried rifles, each perfectly sure of his aim. They | waited for the signal of Hermon who was | endeavoring to bring his long musket to ' bear upon the head of the most distant of the savages. ‘Fire?’ he at length exclaimed, as the j sight of his piece interposed full and distinct between his eye and the wild scalplock of the Indian. ‘Fire and rush on.’ The sharp voice of thirty rifles thrilled through the heart of the [forest. There was a groan—a smothered cry—a wild and convulsive movement among the sleeping Indians, and all was again silent. The rangers sprung forward with their clubbed muskets and hunting knives; but their work was done. The Red Men had gone to their last audit before the Great Spirit, and no sound was heard among them save the gurgling of the hot blood from their lifeless bosoms. ) They were left unhurried in tho place ,of their revellings—a prey to foul birds I of the air, and the ravenous beasts of the wilderness. Their scalps were borne I homeward in triumph by the successfull ■ rangers, whose children and grandcliil- ! dren have shuddered long after, at the thrilling narrative of the midnight ad ven- | Once upon a time, an old lady was rea- ) ding an account of a trial in a case of horrible murder. At the conclusion she ' found and read the following postscript—i “We stop the press to announce that the jury were Lung and the prisoner reman- , tied for another trial,’’ j ‘Good gracious,’ said the amiable old i lady, ‘what were the jury hung for? Why i didn’t they hang the bloody prisoner?’ ‘Why, madam,’ observed a waggish ■ per; on .standing by, ‘you must observe I that the court didn’t hang the jury, they ! hurg themselves?’ ‘Lt, me!’ yelped the old lady, ‘how shocking! 1 have heard there were men who would hang themselves if you gave them rope enough, but I didn’t suppose you could find twelve men who would do it all at wUce, no how.’ An Irish gentleman hearing of a friend having a stone coflin made, exclaimed: ‘By me suwl, an’ that’s a good idee,— Sure, an’ a r -len<‘ cvftiu ad’ last a man his life.’
