MISCELLANY.

SELECTED. THE MAID'S SOLIL O Q UY. A 31 lid alone Milton in her hand. She npeoi at the passage "Hail wedden lore!

mysterious law," &c. one then soliloquises:

ft trust be so! Milton thou reasonest well:

E!ic whence this pleasing hope, this food da-

sire, This longing affar matrimoDj? Or whenc this secret dread, this inward horror . Of dying tjnespoused? why shrinks the heart Pack on itself and startles at celibacy? 'fig reason, faithful reason, stirs within u?; Til nature's self that points out an alliance, And intimates a husband to the sex. Marriage! though pleasing, and yet anxicu3 thought! Thro what new and various changes must we

pass! The married state in prospect lies before me, But shadows, cioads, and darknsss rest upon it. Hero v til I hold! If nature prompts the wish And that she does is plain from all her works 3 Qur duty, interest, pleasure, bid indulge it, For the great end of nature's law is bliss, Uut yet in wedlock the woman must obey I'm weary of those doubts, the priest shall end 'era. Nor easily do f venture toss and gain,

Pleasure and bondsge meet my thoughts at ence : I wed my liberty is gone forever, Bat happiness itself from this secured ! Love first shall recompense my loss, And when my charms shall all have faded, Mine eyes grown dim, and atature bent with years, Thou, virtuous friendship, shall succeed to love : Thus pleased, I'll scorn infirmity and death. ,' Renswed successively in another's race. From the N. Hampshire Patriot and Stat? Gaz. CHAMBERLAIN AND PAUGUS. Among Lovewell's men, at his famous Pigwacket Tights, was a New Hampshire settler of the name of Chamberlain. He was one of those rugged spirits, that in the rude pariod beyond the "old French War," moved from the thickest settled

seaboard, and penetrated into the wilderness of this province. The Indian passed hifr log house, on his scouts to surprise the frontiers, and near it were the haunts and dens of the less savage beasts of pray. The Smoky rafters were hung about with gammons of the bear, that had tumbled from the white pine at the summons of his long rifle, and he lay at uight on the fur of the dun Catamount. He was tall higher than the stateliest Indian; strong, four of them were no match for him with their tomahawks against his heavy hatchet; he was swift of foot, he could outrun the moose in full trot, sagacious and eagle eyed he cntraped the Indian in his ambush, and surpassed him in that sort of instinct,

which guides the savage and the keener

brute through the wide and pathless woods. The red men passed cautiously and harmlessly by the dwelling of Chamberlain ; and a score of them would lie still, where they watched in ? inbfjsli, and suffer him, to go on unmolested, lest their rifles' might miss what they deemed his charmed body, and bring him in vengeance upon them; for he valued them

as lightly as Samson did the men of

Ashkelon. Around the shores of Winnipiseogee: then wild and unknown, but now navigated, celebrated and beautiful lake, there dwelt a powerful tribe of Indians. Their

chief was Paugus. He was a savage of

giant stature and strength, swift, cun luf.g, deadly with his rifle and tomahawk cruel vengeful beyond the native ven

geance of the Indians, and the terror of

man, woman and child along the frontier?, ai'd even among the infant cities,

that it ad then begun to spring up on the very edge of the sea. This audacious chief was supposed to have ventured iuto their streets in the dark nights to learn their councils concerning the Indians, and even to take offfrom among them the astonished captive. Bands of soldiers had penetrated to the shores of the Winnipiseogee, to find

out me retreat or tnis ternoie savage, and if possible to slay him or take him

prisoner. rui ne was too sagacious,!

well; and he was considered by them all as a great accession to the strength of their devoted little band. They traversed the woods and encountered an overwhelming body of Indians, on the peninsula of Lovewell's pond, and their fight has given celebrity;

to every portion of the surrounding wil

derness. After the thickest and most

desperate of the conflict was over, Chamberlain, weary with fighting, thirsty and faint under the hot sun, had retired to the edge of the pond to drink and . i

to wash out his gun, which nati grown

towards the deep descent, "would be the very 6pot for the innocence that had not tried the world, or the philosophy that had tried it, and found all vanity. Who could dream that within the borders of this distracted land, in the very hearing, almost within the very sight, of the last miseries that man could inflict

on man, there was a retreat; which the foot of man, perhaps never yet defiled; and in which the calamities that afflict society might be as little felt as if it were among the stars' A violent plunge of the barb put an

pushed his way through a copse of wil

lows to a little beach by the Pond, when lo, from the thicket, at a short distance

from him, emerged the stately figure of

i augus, covered over with dust and blood; making his way to the water.

Tde warriors at once knew each other.

Chamberlain's cun was useless and he

thought of rushing. upon Paugus with

his hatchet, before he could level his rifle, but the Indian's gun was in the same condition with his own, and he too had

come to the edge of Lovewell's pond to quench Ins thirst and hastily scour out his foul rifle. The condition of the rifles became immediately, by some means or other, known to the enemies, and they mutually agreed to a truce, while they washed them out for the encounter. They slowly and with equal movements cleansed their guns and took their stations on the outer border of the beach "Now Paugus," said Chamberlain, "I'll have you" and with the quickne ss and steadiness of an old hunter, sprung to loading his rifle. "Na ni me have you," replied Paugus, and he handled his gun with a dexterity that made the bold heart of Chamberlain beat quick, and he almost raised his eye to take his last look upon the sun. Theyi rammed their catridges, and each at the same instant cast his ramrod upon the sand. 'Til have you Paugus," shouted Chamberlain, as in his desperation he almost resolved to rush upon the savage, with the breach of his rifle, lest he should!

receive his bullet before he could load.

The woods across the pond echoed back the shout. Paugus trembled as he applied his powder horn to the priming. Chamberlain heard the grains of his powder rattle lightly upon the leaves beneath his feet. Chamberlain, struck his gun breech violently upon the ground the rifle primed herself , he aimed and his bullet whistled through the heart of Paugus.---He fell, and as he went down, the bullet from the mouth of his ascending rifle toueb'd the hair upon the crown oi Chamberlain, and passed oil without avenging the death of its dreadful master, into the bordering wilderness. The hunter, after recovering from the

shock of such a fearful and imminent encounter, cast a look upon the fallen savage. The paleness of death had come over his cooper colored forehead. He

seized upon his rifle, bullet pouch and powder horn, left him on the leafy sand, and sougiit again the lessened ranks cl the whitemcn, as they wearily defended themselves against the er.cii cling savages. He shouted to them of the fall of Paugus. The Indians looked about them The tall figure of the chief was no where in sight. In grief and despair they ceased their firing and withdrew into the woods, leaving Chamberlain and his band the remains of the alien Paugus, to retrace their way to the distant settlement.

the wildest sitrns of terror, snorted and

strove to break from me; then fixed her glance keenly on the thicket below, shook in every limb. Cut the scene was tranquility itself; the cameleon lay basiling in the sun, and the only sound was that of the wild doves murmuring under the broad leaves of the palm tree.

But my mare still resisted every effort to lead her downwards, her ears were

fluttering convulsively, her eyes were starting from their sockets; I grew' peevish at the animal's unusual obstinacy, and was about to let her suffer thirst for the day, when my senses were paralyzed by a tiemendous roar. A liua stood on the summit which I had just quitted. He was Hot a dozen yards above my head, and his first spring must have catried me to the bottom of the precipice. The barb burst away at rnce, I drew the only weapon I h id, a dagger, and hopeless as escape was, grasping the tangled weeds to sustain m) footing, await e.l the plunge. Put the lordly savage probably disdained so ignoble a prey; and continued on the summit, lashing

his sides with his tail, and tearing up the ground. He at length stopped suddenly, listened, as to some approaching foot, and then with a hideous yell sprang over me, and was in the thicket below at a single bound. The w hole thicket was instantly alive; the shade which I iiad fixed on for a seat of unearthly tranquility, was an ol! haunt of lions, and the mighty" herd

vvere now roused irom tneir noon-day slumbers. Nothing could be grander, or more terrible than this disturbed majesty of the forest kings. In every variety of savage passion, from terror to fury, they plunged, and tore, and yelled; darted through the lake, burst through ihc thicket, rushed up the hills, or slood baying :nd roaring defiance against thp coming invader; the numbers were immense, .or the rareness of shade and water had gathered them from every quarter of the desert, While I stood clininj to my perilous

jhold,and fearful of attracting their gaze

by the slightest movement, the source of the commotion appeared, in the shape of a Roman soldier issuing spear in hand, through a ravine at the further side of the valley, lie was palpably unconscious of the formidable place into w hich lie was entering; and the gallant

The 2Gth of June. Amon the people in Saco, (Maine,) a superstitious notion prevails, that the waters of the ocean possess some mysterious virtue on the 2Glh of June; and the Saco Palladium states that on (hat day the beach becomes like the pool of Bethesda, thronged with invalids of all ages and complexions. The custom is said to ! ave had its origin from the circumstance of an Indian woman having directed a mother to dip her sick child in the salt water on that clay, which eillctcd its recovery.

Often had Chamberlain sought, in the Indian skirmishes he was engaged in, to find out the form of Paugus to make him the mark of his rifle, or to encounter with his hatchet the tomahawk of this fearful warrior.

The beauty of this sylvan spot was enhanced by the luxurant profusion of almond, orange, and other trees, that in every stage of production, from the bud to the fruit, covered the little knolls below, and formed a broad belt round the lake.
