CAS A B I A N C A B y M rs. Hem a ns. Younsr CasaManca, a boy of about 13 years old, son to the Admiral of the Orient, remained at his post (in the battle of the Nile) after the ship bad taken fire, and all the guns had been abandoned, and perished in the explosion of the vessel, when the flames had reached the powder. The Hoy stood on the burning deck Whence all but him had lied; The flame that lit the battle's wreck, .Shone round him o'er the dead. Yet beautiful and bright he stood, As if born to rule the storm; A creature of heroic lood, A proud, though child-like forr.l. The flame rolled on he weuld not go. Without his father's nerd; The father faint in death below. His voice no longer heard. lie called aloud 'Say Father say, Il "yet my ta.-k is done!' lie knew not that the chieftain lay Unconscious of his son. Speak Father'.' once acrain he cried, 'If I may yet be rone!' Aud but the voominp shots replied, And fast the flames roiled ou. Upon his brow he felt their breath, .A i;d in his waving hair. And looked from thai, hue post of death. In still, yet brave dispair. And shouted but ence more aloud, 'My Father", must I stay!' While o'er him fast .through sail and bhrovd. The w reathing tires made way. They wrapt the ship in splendor wild, They can-ht the da on lisr.li. And streamed a uve the gallant child, Like banners in tt.e sky. There came a burst of thunder-ouud Ti.e I'oy oh! v here w as he! Ask ofthewi-ids, that far around With fragments strewed tuc sea!

rifles in the house. They immediately ganto lire upon the Indians. The wife melted and moulded the lead, and assisted in loading, occasionally taking her shot w ith the other two. Every Indian that approached the house was sure to fall. The wife relates, that the gur.s would soon become too much heat ed to hold in the hand. Water was necessary to cool them. It was, I think, on the second day of the sei?e, that Hoy's assistant was killed. He became impatient to look on the scene of execution, and see what they had done. He put his eye to the port hole, and a well aimed shot destroyed him. The Indians perceived that their shot had taken ePcct, and gave a yell of exultation. They were encouraged by the momentary slackening ot the

days, whilst their wounds healed very last. ,n-of their di-poi?in and character, he nm... ' i somuch that with the use of a crutch Fenhamjall who thus basely complied with his j
