THE GRAVE OF TIIE INDIAN KING.
[Lo.iTrit'Mw mos OUR LAST.]
The castle of the Onondagoes was sirda-
ted in the midst of fife deep and beautiful
valley to,. which we have already referred,
and through which the Onuedaga river
winds its way to the lake. Count Fronto•
nac, with his motley forces, bad wade a halt
near the licks, and thrown up some tem•
porary defences. TM Bite of the castle
was but five or .six motes removed from the
French camp. It was a sacred spot in the
eyes of the Indians, as the Beat of the
grand councils which had fur ages regulated
the affairs of the tierce and wild democracy
of the Five Nations. They had, therefore,
resolved to defend it to tie last ; and wo-
men and children had been sent from the
rude village deeper into the shades of the
forest. Circumstances, however, changed
this determination on the morning of the
day upon which Count Frontenac intended
to advance. TWO of the Hurons deserted
from the forces of the count, and gave the
Onondagoee, to whose assistance neither of
their aseociate'tribes had yet arrived, such
an appalling dericriptfon of the French, that
they dared not remain and give battle.—
Yonoondto's• army, they said, was like the
leaves on the trees—more numerous than
the pigeons that By to the north after the
season of snows. They were armed, they
said, with great guns that threw up huge
balls high towards the sun. And when
these bills fell into their castle, they would
explode and scatter fire and death every-
where. Upon this intelligence, the sach-
ems gathered into a group around the coun-
cfl-6r8,for consultation. Their piercing
eye -balls, which were at first burning wan
indignation, soon dropped sullenly to the
earth as they reflected upon the impossibi-
' lity of contending against such 'weapons,
! while their dusky countenances gathered
darknesswith gloom. Some of the
the
%principal chiefs having interchanged a few
1 words in an under tone, there was a call to
bring Thureoserat to the council -fire. A
dozen young warriors instantly sprang up- I
on their feet, and bounded to -wards the
principal wtgwatn of the village with the
swiftness of an arrow. Ere many seconds
had elapsed they returned, beating upon 1
rudely constructed litter an aged and vene-
rable -looking chief, whose head had been
whitened by the snows of more than a hun•
dred winters. He had been foremost on
the war -path, and first at the council -fire,
before the great canoes of the pale -faces
bad touched the shores which the Great
Spirit had given them. 'i'he young nteo
treated their burden with the utrnost care
and deference, and the aged chieftain was
seated at the foot of a tall sycamore, against
the huge trunk of which he leaned for sup-
port. A brief but solemn pause ensued,
during wbicb all eyes were directed to the
venerable lather of the council. At length
the veteran sachem rased bis bead, and
looking about upon the group of chiefs and
warriors gathered anxiously around him, he
broke silence as (allows :—
" Why have my children brought Thu-
rensera to the council -fire 1 'I'be Great
Spirit will soon call him to hie hunting -
grounds. Thurensera'e eyea are dim, and
his limbo, no longer like the bending sap-
ling, are stiff like the scathed trees of the
burnt prairies. He can no more bend the
strong bow. He cannot go forth upou the
war -path, or recount the deeds of his fathers
to the young men at the couoCil•fire.—
Thurensera is a woman. But his father
was a great chief ; and," elev•tiog his
voice, he added, " I can now see him sit -
tin upon a cloud fringed with the red
lightning, and beckoning me to conte.—
Why have my children called Thuronsera 1
And why do their eyes rest upon the
ground, and their spirits droop like the
hawk when struck by the young eagle!"
After another pause, and a moment's con-
sultation among the chiefs, one of the
bravest warriors informedFhe sago of the
intelligence received frith-Yonnondio's
camp, and of the peri of
in
sitnstion.—
Tbey had therefore sent to their father for
counsel in this emergency.
Once more there was silence—still as
the forest shades, when not a leaf rustles in
the breeze, sot a stick breaks beneath the
light tread of the fox. The venerable sage
hid his furrowed countenance in his wither-
ed hands, as if deeply engaged in thought,
while the dark groupl of chiefs and warriors
gathered more closely around, all ready to
obey -his counsel, bait what it might, and all

at aftwe, se It were, to drink in the wadout
that was for the last nine perha?e to flue
from his lips. At length the cbteftain of
more than thirteen hundred moons, slowly
raised his head, and spoke as follows :—
"My children ! This cuuocil•fire, which
the Great Sprit firma kindled with sparke
from the sun, motet go oast. Thr their
Spirit wills it. But the two logs will blaze
again, and this valley gleam with red light.
Then shall my cbt.dren coosume the battle

Yonnondie .4311 see what a Mingo can bear
without a cry of pain. Ile will see what
his ohildren will have t(s'fear, when nay sons
assemble their warriors, and conte upou his
settlements in !heir wrath.
• "Mlv children ! When you pass this
way, h`od my bones. Bury them deep to
the bosom of the earth', 'who is my mother,
on the hill looking toward. the rising sun,
by the lake that is beautiful. Put into my
grave my pipe, my hatchet, and my bow,
that I.maychase the moose and the buffa-
loes an the hunting -grounds of the Great
Spirit. Put in my. canoe that a on the
beautiful lake, that, when the Great Spirit
tells me 1 may come and look upon my
children, I may paddle again on the bright
waters of the Skeneatelas. I will come
wbta the moon in her futnesi steals over
the lake, to let her light sleep od its calm
bosom. As 1 glide unward, the lovers of
our young men and women wilt dream of
otber days, and the sptr.ta of the clouds will
whisper—' The grave of the old warrior,
who aught Yonnomdio bow to du.' They
will tell the white man to Cross it with a
Ststep.
"My children; You mast fey ! Keep

and your wigwam', that Yonnondio may get
no booty but the vcalp of 'l'hureosera. Let
the rain of heaven wash all the bad front
your heart., that we may again smoke to-
gether in friendship on the ha,,py country of
the Great Spirit. Thurcnsera has no more
10 say."
The aged chief was listened to through-
out with the must profound attention. The
subsequent deliberation was brief, for the
time was pressing', and the decisiop of the
coui ctl was unanimous to avoid' engage-
ment, end retire into the forest. Tho
chiefs and warriors, and young men m par-
ticular, were exceedingly reluctant to leave'
the venerable sachem by whose wisdom
they had so long been guided, and by
whose arm so often led to victory ; but
be was resolute in his purpose, and inflexi-
ble in his determination. He gathered him-
self into an attitude of the most perfect
composure, and turning lie lace in the di-
rection from which Fruntenac was expect-
ed, prepared to meet his fate. tlleanlune
tine.achcros and warriors having hastily
completed their arrangements, took their
tinal leavo-o( their old chieftain, applied the
brand to their dwellings, and disappeared
to the thick wilderness.
The Count Frontenac, astonished at thb
night of the ascending columns of smoke, as
they ruse in curling folds towards the sky,
moved rapidly forward. But a was to ob-
tain an empty conquest: The buts, and
the rude works of the Indians were already
in ashes. The old chief, Thurcnsera, was
found by the trunk of the cycamore, seated
with the same stoical composure in which
he had been left ; and Frontenac's [odious,
by permtmioo, had the pleasure of torment-
ing hon. Ile bore their tuflicuonn with un •
flinching firmness. Nut • muscle moved,
not a limb quivered : nut a sigh nor a groan
escaped bot. Finally they .tabbed him is
several places. "Go on, ye tormentors!"
be exclaimed, with an energy belonging le
other days. "The old Eagle has received

lation, until the autumn of the year of
grace, 1829, when it was visited by an
English sareat, who spent some mouths
with the hospitable proprietor of the cosse-
cratod mound. 'Thio gentleman had tra-
velled much, and been a great collector ofCuriosities, Ile had killed alligators in the
delta of the 51isa seippt, and cbaeed buffaloes
ib California. Ile had hunted elephants in
Mouth Afnco, and tigers in the jungles of
Bengal. Ile had rescued an ant (ruin the
ruler of Herculaneum, and dug au Mir, and
a thigh -bone of one of the Pharaohs from
the Pyramids of Grand Cairo. And he wadi
resolved to penetraio the secrets of the
grave of the Indian King, and If possible
oblate the pipe, the tomahawk, and the
hunting apparatus, if not the canoe, for the
use of the Bulieh Mueeem. Accordingly,
(with great secrecy .,he repaired thither one
Moonlight night to Octebet, armed with a
crowbar and shovel. But alas for the woe -

conceived that such effects of light upon
vegetables as hate Le en briefly described,
should, occur, if light, and the organa of
vegetables, had nut becu wisely adapted to
each other.
The mooeture which floats in the stmts.

In very intense heats, and when the suit is
dry, the life of plants seems to be preserved
