GLENCO.

The following inimitable piece of poetry is from the pen of Rebert Buchanan, the youngest ‘of Seotish poets. Buchanan lives in London, and

in his tragic dran.a recently the | waseacre of the MeDonald’s in the Valley of

published,

'Glenco, forms a prominent part:

| THE CURSE OF GLENCO. | steal Alas for Clan Tan! alas for Gleneo! | The lovely are fled and the valiant are low ! The recks that look down from the cloud land of | air, | But shadow destruction, or shelter despair.

| No voice greeta the bard from his desolate glen,

|The musicof mirth, or the murmur of men;

| No voice but the eagle’s that screams o’er the slain, Or Sheep dog that woans for bis master in vain

Alas for ClanTan! alas fer Gleneo!

Our heurths are forsaken, owr homesteads are low ‘

There cubs the red hill fox; the coy mountain deer

Disports through our gardens, and feeds with- out fear.

Thy sons, asad remnant, faint, famished and few,

Look down from the crags of the stern Unagh dhu—

The voice of thy daughters with weeping and wail

Comes wild from the snows of the bleak Corri

gail.

Ye sleep not, my kinsmen, the sleep of the brave,

‘The warrior filla not a warrior’s grave;

No dirge was sung o’er you, no cairn heaves to tell

Where, butchered by traitors and cowards, ye fell.

Ye died not, my friends, as your forefather's died!

‘The sword in your grasp, and the foe at your side;

The sword was in sheath, and the bow on the wall,

And silence and slumber in but and in ball.

They chased on your hills, in your halle did they ine, They ate of your bread and drank of your wine. ‘The hand clasped at miduight in friendélip, was hued With crimson, ere morn, in your life-streaming blood.

Glenlyon! Glenlyon! the false and the fall!

And Lindsay and Drummond, twin bloodheunds of hell,

On your swords, on your eouls, wheresoever ye

Glenco.

Tts spell be upon yru by day and by night,

Make you detards in council, and dastards in fight—

As you kneel at the altar, or feast in the hall,

With shame to confound ycu, with fear to appai.

Tts spell be upon you to shrink when you see

‘The maid in ber beauty, the babe in her glee !

Let them glare on your vision by field and by flood,

The forms ye have slaughtered, the avengers of blood.

And kark! from the mountain of Moray and

and woe,

of Glencoe. — Tragic Drama, from Buchanan, M. A.

THE IN DIAN CAPTIVES,

One afternoon, in the autumn of 1779, two children of Mr. Little, a girl of nine and her brother, two years younger, while en- gaged in play among some recently-felled trees near the house, saw an Indian crouch ing behind one of the fallen trees. This was no uncommon sight, as the friendly Indians frequently visited their home; but this sav- age appeared to be a strange one, and after the first glance, they had fled in dismay to the house. The mother had reproved them for their timidity, and sent them back to play again. Only partially re-assured, they now began conversing regarding the matter. While thus engaged. they heard the note otf a quail, apparently but a short distance a- way.

is that? I saw something red moving along, it looked like a fawn popping up i's head.”

At this instant the children felt themselves seized with a grip of iron from behind. On turning their heads, to their horror, they found themselyes in the arms of savager, whose fierce, painted countenances showed that they were enemies. They made signs

and hurricd them off, nearly fainting with terror, in a direction leading from their father’s habitation.

After journying some distance in profound silence, the severity of the captors somewhat relaxed, and as night approached, the party halted, after adopting the usual precautions to secure themselves against surprise.

After days and nights of painful marching | through the forests, the party reached the | Seneca village, upon the headquarters of the Alleghany, near the place that is now known ,as Orlean point.

| On their arrival the leader conducted the | prisoners to the principal lodge. This was | occupied by his mother, the widow of the | head chief of that band, and who was cal- 'led by them the **Old Queen.’’ Presenting the little girl, he said :

| ‘**My mother, I tring you a child to eup- ply the place of my brother, who was killed |by the Leni-Lenape six months ago. She | lial! dwell in my lodge, and be to me a sis- |ter, Take the white woman and her cbild- | ren, and treat them kindly.’’

The old queen fulfilled the injanctions of |herson,. She received the prisoners, and every comfort provided them that was pos- sible under the circumstances.

_ Late in the evening of the dey of the cap-

ture, Mr. Little returned to his dwelling, only to find it desolate. It was silent us death. No trace of a living creature was to be found throughout the house or grounds, His nearest neighbors lived at a considerable distance, but to them he hastened, francticly demanding tidings of his family. Arousing them from their slumbers, one and another joined in the search, and at the house of one of them he found the servant girl, who had effected her escape.

Her first place of refuge, she said, had been @ large brewing-tsb, in an outer kiteb- en, under which ehe had at the first alarm secreted herself, until the departure of the Indiane, who were evidently in haste, gave her an opportunity of fleeing to a place of safety. She could give no tidings of her mistress and the children, except that they had not been murdered in ber sight and bear-

Dg.

At length having searched the neighber- hood in vain, Mr. Little recollected an old settler who lived alone, far up in the val- ley. hither he and his friends immediately repaired, and from him he learned that, being at work in his ficld, just before sunset, he had seen a party of strange Indians pas- sing & short distance from his cabin. Age they wound along the brow of a hill, he could perceive that they had prisoners with them—a woman and a child The woman he knew to be white, from the fact that she carried an infant in her arms instead ef on her back, after the manner of Indians.

Day was now breaking, for the night bad been passed in fruitless search, and the half- distracted father, after a consultation with

20, Bear the burthen of blood, bear the curse of) his friends and neighbors, accepting their

offer to accompany him to fort Pitt, to ask advice and assistance of the commandant and Indian agent at that place.

Proceeding down the valley, as they proached a hat, which the night before they had found apparently deserted, they were startled by observing two children standing upon the high bank in frontof it. The de- lighted father, recognized two of his missing flock, but they could not give the least tiding regarding the mother and the lost onas. The story, they told was touching and simple.

They were playing in the garden, ones they were terrified by seeing the Indians enter the yard near the house. Unperceived by them, the brother, who was about six years of age, helped his little sieter over the fence into a field abounding with blackberry bushes. Unfortunately, the little girl, io her play in the garden, had pulled off her shoes and stockings, and the briers so wound- ed her feet that she could not refrain from erying out. Her brother took off his stock- ings and put them on her feet. LHe attempt- ed, tao, to protect them with his shoes. but they were too large, and kept slipping off, eo that she could not wear them. For a time they kept on, believing they were escaping from certain death.

After a few more efforts they made their way out of the field into an enclosed pasture- ground, where, to their joy, they saw some cows feeding. They recognized them as belonging to Granny Myers, an old woman who lived some distance away, but what farm they were then in they were utterly ignorant.

With sagacity remarkable, they both said:

‘+ Let us hide ourselves till sunset, when the cows will go home, and we will follow them.”

The children did eo, but to theif dismay, when they reached Granny Myer's, they iound the honse deserted. The old woman had been called by some businees down the valley, and did not return that night. Weuried and hungry, they could go no fur- ther, but after an almost fruitless endeavor to get some milk from the cows, they laid themselves down to sleep under an old bed- stead that stood near the house. Their father and bis party had given them addition- al terror in the night. The shoute and ealle intended to arouse the inmates of the house they had mistaken for the whoops of Indians,

and not being able to distinguish friends from ives, they nestled close to each other ag far out of sight ag possible. When found the nextday, they were debating what course to folluw tor safety.

The commandant at Fort Pitt entered warmly into the sad affair of Mr. Little, and readily furnished him with a detachment af soldiers to assist him and his friends in the pursuit of the captors.

Several circumsianees conspiring to throw suspicion upon the Senecas, the party direct- ed their search among the villiages of that tribe.
