THE FIRST & LAST SACRIFICE. Another in (he series of compositions under the captivating title of First and Listhns been received. The scene of the narrative is laid in this country, and its subject is found in the romantic characteristics of the native tribes. The writer represents himself as having left Nw O'leans in the latter part of May,

loran ovenano journey to o ivannah, induced chiefly by a wish to satisfy his curiosity, as to the manners and customs of

favftge life. On the twelfth night of hi? journey, he encamped, alone, near the margin of a deep glen, known by the name of Murder Creek, whfoh fearful appellation it received from having been the scene of a tragical event in former times, when thirty persons there fell beneath the tomahawk of the savages. H-re, in the night, he encounters a well armed Indian, by whom he is taken prisoner, and conveyed to his cabin, in a rejnfiote and secret part of the forest. The walls of the wigwam were decorated with weapons & trophies of its occupant,

and among them the captive 6huddered to behold the scalps of not less than fifteen victims. Sit l exclaimed the Indian, pointing to the bed of buffalo and wild deerskins in one corner of the cabin. I did so;

while he, with the same stern silence

which he had all along maintained,

ipread before me some milk, variou

preparations of Indian corn, wild veni-

Bon, audsoKe; t he last, a not unpalatable dish, being made of the fl ur of Indian corn, gathered while green, mixed with honey and water. He seated himself by- my bide, and partook of the meal. I too ate, and with a reli'h, after my morning's ride, in spite of many uneasy reflections which I could not repress. These reflections, indeed, were gradual Jy becoming so painful, that 1 was on the point of demanding from my host an explanation of his motives for bringing me here, when lv; addressed me. I knew it was a point of Indian politeness not to

interrupt a person who is speaking, and I was careful to avoid any breach of d

comm.

'You are a white man I found you

sleeping you were armed I made you defenceless, and then offered you the pipe of peace. 'A white man found my father defenceless and asleep, and shot him as be slept. I was in my tnothei's womb: but the blood of my father was gathered, and before the milk of her bosom was on my lips, they were made red with his blood, that I might taste the food of revenge before the food ol life.

The first vord I lisped, was revenge!

The first passion I knew, was hatred of

a white man! The first time I knelt to

the Great Spirit, it was on my father's grave to pray he would not send for me

till I had clothed myself in a robe of

blooOf to greet my father in the Spirit Country. My prayer was heard. My oath has been kept. l grew a man, and adopted myself into the Panther frr,iy by marriage. In my cabin, which was on the banks of the

, Qntario,the Lake oU Thousand Island-,

1 numbered three generations. My mo tlmr lived children were born to me :tre were one family. - Did I forget my oath? No. Did I forget the end for which I lived? Never.

The day that saw rny first-born in its J

mother's arm? saw my first sacrifice io my father's spirit a white man dead at

.nyfeet. Three moons atier, anotner,

and in that third moon a third. There, pointing to the fcalps, there hang the proofs that I do not gay the thing which is not. 'Four snows passed, and I returned one evening from hunting, when I found my cabin burnt down. My mother a lone sat weeping and lamenting among the ruins. I could not separate the bones of my children and my wife from the common heap of blackened ashes, which marked the spot where my home had stood, when I went forth in the morning. I did not weep. But I comforted my mother all that night, and when the sun arose, I said, L?t us to the wilderness I We are now the last of our race. V are alone, and the desert off ;ra its solitudes for such! 4I left forever the Lake of a Thousand Islands carrying with me only a handful of the ashes with which was mingled the dust of my children and my wife. In my progress hither, I visited the great warrior, Tecumseh. He was then about to depart from the borders of Canada upon a journey of a thousand miles to invite the L wr Creeks to take up the hatchet in defence of the British, against the Americans and Upper Creeks 1

j ined hiim- I was 1. is companion. Isat

with him in the assembly of the great council when, by th power of his talk, he obtained a solemn declaration they would take up the hatchet at his call. And they did ; fcl fought by his side when they did. H is enemies were the Americans; mine were the whites; and in) revenge slaked its thirat in their blood, with the same refreshing sense that I drink of the sparkling waters of the spring, without asking us name. S ven of the 6calps vou see belonged to those who fell beneath my tomahawk; but my arrows fl w thick besides; nor was mv gun levelled in v-iin. When the Warrior perished, the hope perished with him of the gathering of the Indian nations in some spot where

the white people would not follow, and where wk might live as our fathers had done, Tecumseh fell. I left my brethren, and built my cabin in the wood. It was in the season of the green corn when the thank-offering is mde to the Great Spirit, that a white man came to my door. He had lost his path, and (he

sun was going down. My mother shook

for the fear of death was upon her.

She spoke to me. Hsr words were lik the hurricane that sweeps through tin

loresi, ana opens tor neelt a way among

the hills. The stranger was the same

that had found my father defenceless and asleep, and who shot him as he slept. Come with me and learn the rest.' The Indian arose, went forth, and entered the forest: I followed, utterly incapable of saying a word. There was something so strange and overpowering in what 1 seen and heard, so obscure and exciting in what 1 might still have to

see and hear; it was so impossible forme

(o enter into the dark feelings of revenge that had been avowed, or to applaud the

murderous spirit in which they had been

l icoKea aown irom uie ueigui ui hmm; two hundred feet into the deep ravine below, through which the vexed stream bellowed and whirled till it escaped through another chasm and plunged into the recesses of the wood. It was an awful moment! The profound gloom of the place the uproar of the eddying vortex beneath 'he dark and tugged abyss which yawned before me, where huge trunks of trees might be seen tossing and writhing about like things of life, tormented by the angry spirit of the waters the unknown purpose of the being who had brought roe hither, and who stood by my side in sullen silence, prophetic, to my mind, of a thousand horrible imaginings, formed altogether a combination of circumstances thai miht have uminonrd fear into a bolder heart than mine w as at that ii.tUnt. At length the Indian spok;-: D you m:irk that cdar shooting out midway from the rot k? Hithei I brought the white man who doc iiv d ine io Inborn tiiioi) a father' grave. I sni i to him, 'Yu slew my fathei V He shook aa my mother had done; for the fear ol death was upon him. 'My father blood hath left a stain upon you which must be washed out in these dark viaters.' He would havefl-d to the wood-, like a wounded panther, but I grasped him

while to rebuke either muat obviously

have been at once hazirdous and unavailing, that I could only meditate feaifully and eilently upon the whole. The course he now took was indicated by no path, but lay through thick underwood, and among tangled bubhes; while overhead the gigantic plane and maple trees, the lofty cedar, and the many different species of oak, formed a ver

dant roof, impervious to the rain which was falling in torrents. The fragrance of the woods was delicious, and the notes

of innumerable birds, the cooing of doves

with the incessant grimbols of the squir

rels, leaping from bough to bough in ev-

ry direction soothed and deligtcd me, in in spite of the feelings with which I was oppressed. At the distance ofa quar-

tt'rot a mile Irorrrthe cabin, I observed a

small strtge, constructed between four

trees standing near each-other, and not

mon? than four or five feet from the

ground. Oo this stage I saw a human

figure extended, which, as I afterwards

discovered was th: body of the Indian1

mother, by her side was a red earth-

ern vessel or pitcher, containing the

bones of his father, and that "handful of;

ashes" which he had brought with him from the shores of Lake Ontario, under the impulse of a sentiment so well known to exist among the Indian tribes, the desire of mingling their own dust with that of their fathers and their kindred. I noticed, however, that my guide passed this simple 6)lvan sepulchre, without once turning his eyes towards it. - We continued our progress through the forest, and I soon began to perceive we were ascending a rising ground, though the dense foilage which hummed ua in on every side prevented me from distinguishing the height or the extent of the acclivity. Presently, I heard the loud din and roar of water, and we had proceeded in the direction of the sound whose increasing noise indicated our gradual approximation to it, for rather more than half a mile, when the Indian stopped, and I found myself all at once

on tbe brink of a tremendous whirlpool J

before the eyes of the unwilling specta
