I offer WjU what may be deemed
% *, |
a literary curiosity. It is a supposed
Iuiliau oration ou the death of Com
modore Decatur written by a female
now confined fur insanity lu the cells
of the Philadelphia Aims-House. ?
This unhappy person being asked
l;y the keeper whether she would
take pleasure in reading, answered
in the affirmative; and added that
she would also gladly compose on
uny' subject wtiicli 'might l>c sugges
ted. fcihe has written several pieces
of a remarkable character, besides
the following, which will 1 think,
be admired as an ingenious allegory
conveying an excellent mora). i\

INDIAN ORATION.
On the Death of Commodore Decatur.
Composed by Mrs. in the cclls of
the Alms-House:
The warrior c/f the wrater is goue
to the land of spirits, and the ghosts
of his fathers rejoice ttnt in his com
ing, for be came not in the storm of
battle. \ *
rrhe warrior of the waters was a
great lion, W hen he rose in his rage,
and shook himself, the green hills
trembled. When in ang^r he thun
dered with bis voice, the storm did
, follow, if e bounded over the waters,
and ifie beasts of the- other moun
tains hid with feat. He stretched
bin paw over th^ great liters, and
gored ]be lion of the east; He was
mighty an 0 great as the Allegany :
He was strong and fierce as the tor
rent (town the steep* * of Niagara.?
Mighty and great he was. Yet a
little J??9r?)id overcome liimf l'qb
lie opinion was a small bee, and the
]imi migUt have crushed it with his
foo). Jttfct t|ie little bee crept into
the earaf the great (ion and stung
)iim on the strings of lift. The
-lion was vanquished, and the little
bee yet Jives ami bgzge? Qf his con
quest. ? ,W<- 4 . ; .
