Scot formed his line on the beach preparatory to scale the height. In the first attempt to descend, the severe fire of the enemy repulsed our troops. Scott himself was forced backward on the beach.

abandonment. The little army of Scott, already beginuing to reap laurels from its achievements under its active and Indomitable leader, was suddenly checked in its incipient career of conquest, and made to turn its back on the enemy. But for that pusillanimous step, Scott would doubtless have gone on triumphantly to Montreal, captured that city, and gloriously effected the conquest of all Upper Canada. Checked as he was by this inglorious termination of the enterprise he was so signally leading on, it did not operate to discourage his efforts or dishearten his spirit. His zeal remained unqueuched and his fervor unabated. With the close of the campaign, a new and important sphere of duty opened upon Colonel Scott. He had thus far been fighting battles; he was now to be called upon to awake a new army into being, whose deeds should efface the remembrance of the spiritless close of the campaign of 1S13, and whose prowess should extort the plaudits of admiring millions, and reflect back a new and brilliant radiance upon the head of its accomplished disciplinarian and commander.

Scott Organizes n ev Army. The government had now such a foretaste of Scott's quality, that it became inspired with the highest expectations for the future of the young soldier. The President ordered him to repair to Albany to concert certain important arrangements with Governor Tompkins, and to provide the supplies
for the approaching campaign .Having discharged this service, he was next ordered to Buffalo, upon a no less important duty than to organize, discipline, and instruct an army of new recruits, there being mustered iulo Bervice. On the 9th of March, 1814, he was appointed brigadiei-general by President .Madison, at the early age of twenty Mren, and immediately entered upon this important duty. We had herdtefore used the Prussian system of tactics; Scott introduced at once the far more perfect mordern French system, and the one we still employ. The uew recruits were immediately put under efficient drill. The army was converted into a vast military school, and kept incessantly employed until it was thoroughly trained, and completely fitted for all the exigencies of
Ilritisli ! hard strvice and a rigorous campaign. Scott
labored for months with untiring industry, uutil he felt assured we had at least one army fitted to cope with the best troops of Grea1 Britain. He had taken in hand a body of raw millia, without drill and without experience, and at the end of three m nths had converted them into a well discipline corps, which soon showed it itself able to conquer th renown
ed veterans of Wellington himself.

"WTiat hast tliou done, what hast thou done, Seller or poison, seller of rum T" Murmured a voice it was clear and wild, It came from the lips or a trembling child, Who stood at the board where the ruby wine, Pi arkled all clear In the bright sunshine. ,l Begone," said the man with a scowling brow 'What brings you here in the tempest now?"' But he felt, stern man, his cold heart quail 'Seath her steady glance as she told her tale. "Once a peaceful home was ours, Sweet as a bird's nest mid the flowers, Our hearts w ere bound in affection's ties, Kindred reelings and sympathies; Days passed by In a Joyoua train, Days that can ne'er return again. For c tine a change at last, at lat A shadow, o'er our hearts was cast; A crimson glow on my parent's cheek, Fewer the love words he did speak; And when by the lire's soft flickering light, He moodily sat in the silent night, He folded us in his arms no more, With the fond Tond words sodcaroryorc. Till at last your task stern man was done, Sellerof poison, seller or rum. He sank w ith thousands beneath the wave, That darkly flow s e'er the drunkard's grave. Our home w as bartered Tor rum, and w e Cast on the cold world's charity. Comfortless, desolate in our woe, Our home w as next in a cellar low-; There where the sunlight feebly shone, Day by day we struggled on; Till my mother's heart could bear no more, She passed away to the peaceful shore. We clustered around the silent dead, And asked in rain for a crust ofbrcad; While strangers bore her to the tomb, And left us alone in a w orld or gloom. Seller of poison, seller or woe, We have no home on the earth below; Your hand has ruffed the sea of life, And sent us afloat mid its clanging strife. Bettor be homeless in doubts and fears, Than dwell in a palace bought with tears. Swiftly the sad child turned aw ay, 'Stay," said the man. "a moment stay, I will give you gold,"' "lis a mockery," Came the gentle voice, "return to me The loved and lost, the child was gone, And he in the barroom stood alone. Like a drop of dew in the desert dry, A tear for a moment dimmed his eye; Evil triumphed, he soon forgot The orphan child and her weary lot With iron heart he w nlked again, In tlx beaten path of former sin.

The command alternately devolved upon Dearborn, lwis, Boyd, and Wilkison. The only active duty discharged was that of foraging, and this was invariably intrusted to Olouel Scott. In the prosecution f this duty, he was constantly engage ! in skirmishes with fie enemy, but his efforts were always crowned with success His vigilance, activity, an I intr-pedity, made hint the hero of many a miniature battle in this

For the American. Ioetrr-it Power. The language or nature. Is the language of song.
The feelings ofthe heart instinctively seek expression In poetic number! and though this intuition may not always be embodied in formal verse, or rythmcliiatly expressed according to the rules of art, yet the soul of genuine song Is always there, and w hen inspired by true poetic fire, find utterance In that -harmonious verse" that stirs the. heart and awaken thoughts "too deep for tears."' It is thia species of suggestive lyric poetry, 'Drawn from a few familia rthings, The pulses ofthe h' art." That takes hold or the feelings of the soul, and controls, as by enchantmcn, the actions of men. Lord Chatham well understood the secret orhuman influence when he remarked, "I would give the making or the laws, Tor the making of the ballads of tho people." Tho proud statesman well knew tho power oT National sons; and bowed In humble adoration at the shrine oHhe muses. And the great Napoleon, skilled in the arts of war, but greater far in his philosophic knowledge of the human heart.

QirTo love in order to be loved in return is man; but to love for the pure sake of loving, is almost the characteristic of an angel. Lamartine. A False Sentiment. There is nothing in this world so sweet as love and next to love, the sweetest thing is hate.
