DEaTII OF TOUXG HEXItY CLAY.
BY GEORGE LIPPARD.
." It was near the setting of the sun,
, when the men of Palo Alto, Resaca
delaPalma, and Monterey, saw the
clouds come down on the charge of
Bqena Vista, that a splendid scene,
worth of the days of Washington,
closed the day In glory.
Do you behold that dark ravine,
.deep sunken between those precipi
tous banks? Here no sunlight comes,
; for the walls of rook wrap up the pass
In eternal twilight. Withered trees
grow between masses of granite, and
scattered stone make the bed of the
Tavlne uncertain and difficult for the
tread.
. Hark! that cry, that rushes like a
- mountain torrent bursting its barriers,
and quiok as the lightning flashes
from darkness, the dismal ravine Is
bathed In battle light. From its
northern extremity, a confused band
. -of Mexicans, an army in itself, come
yelling along the pass, treading one
another down as they fly; their ban
ners, spears, horses, and men tossed
together in inextricable confusion.
By thousands they rush into the
shadow of the pass, their dark faces
Teddened with the heated blaze of
musketry. The caverns of the ravine
send back the roar of panic, and the
gray roclis are washed with their
blood.
our me uuie Danu wuo pursues
this army! who are they? You
m may see in their firm herolo ranks,
the volunteer costume of Illinois and
Kentucky. At their head, urging his
men with shouts, rides the gallant
SIcKee; by his sido, young Henry
. "Clay, that broad forehead, which re
minds you of his father, bathed in the
glare, as his sword quivers on high
re it falls to kill. There, too, a wild
figure, red with his own blood and
the blood of his Mexican foes, his un
iform rent in tatters, his shoulders
bare, striking terrible blows with his
good sword Hardin, of Illinois
came gallantly forward.
The small but iron band hurl the
Mexicans from the height into tbera
vine, and follow up the chase far
dwn Into the eternal twilight of the
mountain pass.
Look ! As their musketry streams
its steady blaze, you would think that
one ceaseless sheet of lightning bathed
those rocks In flames!
Over the Mexicans, men and hors
es, hurled back In mad disorder, the
Americans dash on their way ; never
heeding the overwhelming numbers
of their foes, never heeding the palpi
tating forms beneath their feet, with
bayonet and sword they press stead
ily on, their well-known banner
streaming evermore overhead.
Hea the howl of the dying war
hcrse hark! does It not ohm ,-
blootohearit? The horrible cry of
"o ounaea man, with the horse's
hoof upon his mouth, trampling the
face to a hideous wreck does it not
alcken your soul to hear It?
A hundred yards or more Into the
P&bs the Americans had penetrated,
"When suddenly a yountr Mexican.
lushing back upon ther ranks, raises
the fallen flag Df Alahuao, and dashes
ueain.
To see htm ,.,., j !.-,.

y. rush with his country's flao-
taw tM, Poa tWiEt
sharp steel it was a sight to stir cow
ards into manhood, and it shot into
Mexican hearts like an electric flash.
Even in their panic-stricken disor
der, they turned by hundreds; they
grasped arms, and rolled into one
long wave of lances and bayonets up
on the foe. Woo to the brave men
of Illinois and Kentucky! Locked
in that deadly pass, a wall of infuri
ated Mexicans beetween them and
that wall of rocks above their beada,
through every apperture among the
cliffii, the blaze of muskets pouring a
shower of bullets in their faces
wherever they turned, the long and
deadly lance pointed at their throats
it was a moment to think onco of
home and die.
Those who survived that fearful
moment, tell with shuddering tri
umph the deeds of threo heroes Mc
Kee, Hardin and Cla-.
McKee you see him yonder, with
bin shattered sword dripping with
blood, he endeavors to ward off those
deadly lances, aud fights on his knees
when ho can stand no longer, and
then the combatants close over him,
and then you see him no more.
TTardin arose from a heap of
slaughtered foes, his face streaming
from hideous lance wounds, and
waved a Mexican flag in triumph, as
his life-blood rushes in a torrent over
his muscular form. Then flinging
his captured flag to a brother soldier,
"Give it to her as a memorial of Bue
na Vista! My wife!" It was his last
words. Upon his bared breast the
fury of ten lances, and the horse's
hoofs trampled him into the heap of
the dead.
But most sad, and yet most glori
ous of all, was to see the death of the
second Henry Clay.
You should have seen him, with his
back against fyouder rock, his Bword
grasped firmly, aB the consciousness
that he bore a name that must not die
ingloriously seemed to fill his every
vein, and dart a deadly fire from his
eyes.
At that time he looked like the old
man.
For his brow, high and retreating,
with the blood-clotted hair waving
back from the outline, was swollen in
every vein, as though his soul shone
from it ere it fled forever. Lips set,
brows knit, hands firm a circle of
men fighting round him he dashes
into the Mexicans until hissword was
wet, his arms weary with blood.
At last, with his thigh splintered by
a ball, he gathered hia proud form to
its full height, and fell. His face ashy
with Intense agony, he bade his com
rades leave him there to die. That
ravine should be the bed of his glory.
But gathered around him a guard
of hreasts of steel while two of his
comrades bore him along those men
of Kentucky fought round their fal
len hero, and as, retracing step by
step, they launched their swords and
ba3Touets into the faces of their ene
mies, they said, with every blow
"Henry Clay!"
It was wonderful to see .how that
name nerved their arms, and called a
smile to the face of the dying hero.
How it would have made the heart of
the old mnn of Ashland throb, to
have heard his name yelled as a battle-cry
down the shadows of that
lonely pass.
Along the ravine, and up the nar
row pass! The hero bleeds as they
bear him on, and tracks the way with
his blood. Faster and thicker the
Mexicans swarm they see the circle
around the fallen man, even his pale
faca uplifted, as a smile crosses its
fading lineaments, and like a pack or"
wolves, scenting the forlorn traveler
at the dead of night, they came howl
ing up the rock, and charged the de
voted band with one dense mass of
bayonets.
Up and on! The light shines yon
der on the topmost rock of the ravine.
It is the light of the seeting sun. Old
Taylor's eyes are on that rock, and
there we will fight our way, and die
in the old man's sight.
It was a murderous way, that path
up the steep bank of the ravine!
Littered with dead, slippery with
blood, it grew blacker every moment
with Mexicans, and the defenders of
the wounded hero fell, one by one, in
the oh asm a yawning around.
At last they reach the light; the
swords aud bayonets glitter in sight
of the contending armies, and the
bloody contest roars towards the top
mostrock. Then it was that, gathering up his
dying form armed with supernatu
ral vigor young Clay started from
the arms of hia supporters, and stood
with outstretched hands in the light
of the setting sun. It was a glorious
sight which ho saw there amid the
battle clouds Santa Anna's formida
ble army hurled back into the ravine
and gorge by Taylor's little band.
But a more glorious thing it was to see
that dying man, standing there for
the last time in the light of the sun,
which shall never rise for him again.
"Leave me," he shrieked, as he fell
back on the sod; "I must die, and I
will die here! Peril your lives no
longer for me! Go! There i8 work
for you yonder!"
The Mexicans crowded on, hungry
for blood. Even as he spoke, their
bayonets, glistening by hundreds,
were leveled at the throats of the de
voted band. By the mere force of
their own overwhelming numbers,
they crushed them back from the dy
ing Clay.
Only one lingered; a brave man,
who had known thechivalriosoldier,
and loved him long ; he stood there,
and covered, as he was with blood,
heard these last words:
" Tell my father how I died, andgive
him these pistols !n
Lifting his ashy face Into the light,
he turned his eye upou his comrade's
face placed his pistols in his hands,
and fell back to his death.
That comrade, with the pistols in
his grasp, fought his way alone to the
topmost rock of the path, only once
looking baok. He saw a shivering
form canopied by bayonets ho saw
those outstretohed arms grapling with
points or steel be saw a pale face
once lifted in the
iignt, and then

Koniancc of Xamartinc's Marriage
Tho story of the marriage of the
great French poet and statesman is
one of romantic interest. The lady
was of an English family named
Birch, and very wealthy. She first
fell in love with the poet from reading
his "Meditations Poetiques." She
was slightly past the bloom of youth,
but still youug aud fair. She read
and re-read tho "Meditations" and
nursed the tender sentiment in secret.
At length Bhe saw Lamaritine in Ge
neva, and her love became a part of
her very life. Not long after this
accquainted with the fact that the
poet was suffering, even to unhap
piuesa, from the embarrassed state
of his pecuniary affairs, Mies
Birch was not long In deciding
upon her course. She would not
allow tho happiness of a lifetime
to slip from her if she could prevent
it. She wrote to the poet a frank and
womanly letter, acknowledging her
deep interest and profound respect,
and offering him the bulk of her for
tune, if he were willing to accept it.
Of course L'amartine could not but
suspect the truth. Deeply touched
by her generosity, he called upon her
and found her to be not only fair to
look upon but a woman of a brilliant
literary artistic education. He made
an offer of his hand and heart, and
was promptly and gladly accepted,
and in after years Alphonso De La
martine owed not more to his wife's
wealth than to her sustaining love
and inspiring enthusiasm.
Mornior Courtship.
On Saturday a Mormon by the
nameof Fulmer, who had been chosen
among the faithful to goon a mission
to Arizona, called upon Brigham
Young.
"Married?" queried the Prophet.
"Not any," said Fulmer, o'er whose
brow forty odd years had left their
imprint.
"Must marry, Brother Fulmer, be
fore you go to Arizona to build up the
kingdom."
Don't know anybody who will
have me," was the reply.
"I'll find some one. Do you know
Brother Brown in the Seventeenth
Ward? Well, he has several daugh
ters; you go to Brother Brown and
tell him I want you to marry one of
his daughters."
Fulmer left and obeyedcounsel to
the letter. Knocking at the door he
was admitted by Brother Brown,
who, upon learning what was want
ed called in his several daughters to
be selected from. Fulmer taking his
choice, Brown told the girl to get
ready in fifteen minutes. "I'll do as
you say, dad," was the meek reply,
as she walked out.
"That's the way I raise my daugh
ters; if they disobey there's war in
tho Camp."
The wedding festivities tako place
to-night. Salt Lake Tribune.
Mrs. Harriet Westervelt, of Bloom
ingdale, died last week, and her body
was placed in a coffin by the under
taker for burial. Before the burial
arrangements were completed ho said
to the womau's daughter,
"Are you really sure she is dead?"
as she looked bo life-like.
He had hardly spoken before the
supposed corpse sat up and frightened
them by saying in a loud voice,
"My God! what are you doing with
me?"
Then she fell back and became un
conscious. Mrs. Westervelt was re
moved from the coffin to a bed, and
Dr. M. Withey was summoned, but
by the time he arrived the' woman
had expired. JV. Y. Sun.
One of the most curious things at
the Philadelphia Exposition will be
an architectural plan of the city of
Mexico. Its dimensions are 330 by
231 feet. It will display all the char
acteristics of tho city, and will be
peopled by G0.000 leaden figures
dressed in appropriate costumes, some
for the opera, ball and social, and
others vending fruit and ice cream,
carrying baskets and rolling barrels.
In the streets will be 1,900 coaches,
an equal number of other vehicles,
and a lot of artillery pieces.
Positive Cure For Hog Cholera.
One-quarter of a ponnd of Spanish

pounds of green poke-root, and three

and put in trough with drinking
watet as strong as hogs will drink,
jfn hog is too sick to drink, drench

There is said to be a girl in Wash
ingson city who Is seven feet high.
It would be mighty troublesome and
annoying to have a wife that tall.
You'd of course have to kiss her every
morning when j'ou stated down town,
and tho chances are that you'd nod
in nine cases out of ten that some of
the children had mislaid the step-
ladder.
For bad breath here is a receipt.
Before breakfast take a teaspoon ful of
the following mixture: Chlorate of
potassa, two drachms; sweetened wa
ter four ounce. Wash the mouth oc
casionally with the same mixture,
and the breath will be sweet as an in
fant's of two months.
A young shaver had had several
teeth extracted with the assurance
that they would come again. With
an eye to the immediate future little
Johnnie inquired,
"Will they come again before we
have dinner?"
We have always noticed that the
hoy who let his mother get up and
build the kitchen fire and bring in
all the wood, is the same chap who
bellows loudest at her funeral.

U IJjllIl
THE NEBRASKA ADVERTISER
has now entered upon its
Twentieth Year,
and is the
OLDEST PAPER IN NEBRASKA!
That never suspended or changed its name. Age has
not caused its depreciation, nor its adherence to explod
ed fogyisms, but otherwise j and to-day it stands on a
sure foundation, in the
Advance Guard of the Great Army of
Progression,
Strong from the nourishment of long years of good
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY AND IIU3IAX RIGHTS.
When the question was presented between Treason an
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes ana
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause of Union
and an undivided country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year,
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction, and
at the same foe, that they shot leaden bullets, for the
mission of the Republican party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not yet
passed, American progress has not yet ended. Other
labors, to save what has been gained, lie before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heartily cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank of the Republican platform of Ohio "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and believes that the safety of the Nation lies in the
full recognition of this doctrine. From the attitude or
the opposition, the duty of every Republican is obvious.
.A.S JL FAMILY PAPER,
The Advertiser is conceded to have no superior, and
few equals, if any, in the State ; and we assure our
readers that it shall be kept up, in every respect, equal
to its present standard of excellence, until we make it
better by various improvements which we have in view
just so soon as times improve among the people fi
nancially so as to justify us in making such improvements.
At the commencement of the volume just closed
we promised our patrons that The Advertiser should
be in the future a better family paper than it had ever
been before ; that we filled our columns not with old
"dead" advertisements, but with choice reading pre
pared with care for a variety to suit the general reader.
Our readers will concede that we have lived up to this
promise. We have for the last year carried more
reading matter than anv other weekly in the State,
demonstrating that our ambitious declaration are not
an empty blow, and that we do not make promises
only to break them.
AS JL LOCAL PAPER.
We have an especial pride in making an acceptable
local paper, embracing in this feature the entire county
of Nemaha first, then Southern Nebraska and the
State ; thus making it a most desirable medium for cir
culat on in other States amongst those desiring correct
iisformation regarding Nebraska, and her claims to con
ndcration as a young State with all the inherent quali
ties of greatness.
