« pinioned maletactor, doomed to be riddled
by the musket bullets ef a miserable squid
of Hondarian soldiers. ‘The poet, Burns,
wh® died a member-of-a-Sevteh corps of
volnoteers, begged, us a last request, that,
when dead, the awkward squad should ” ‘not
be ‘permitted to. fire over his grave! If
Burns entertained such a supreme disgust
for an awkward squad of Scotchmen, that he
vould not tolerate: the idea of their partici~pating in the funeral services over his grave,
how.much more disgusted must Walker have
felt, to be shot by such scarecrows of sol* diers as Central Ameri¢a produces! Such
abominable caricatures of military pomp—
ragged, dirty, bare-footed, and bare-legged
Indians and Negroes, fellows afraid of the
flash, of their own vile guns—think of the
offscourings of humanity pulling their triggera on “the grey-eyed man of destiny !"—
But, menthan Walker have died more

But, if people fancied that he had exchang_ ed the sword for the goosequill and the camp

tor it was not lung until, under some sort 0°
bargain with one of the political parties in
Nicaragua, he was off, with another small
body of adventurers, to extend the “area of
ireedom” in that benighted region. Everybody kuows how miserably that movement
terminated.
In the desperate hope of becoming
Mjustrious in Central Ameriga, he headed two
subsequent expeditions to the soune of his
turmer exploits. Que of them was irustrated
by a distinguished American nuyal officer,
~ Who received but poor thanks from the government for what he did; and the last ius,
terminated, as “we are led to believe, by his
death at the hands of the vagrant soldiers of

probable, had not John Bull taken a share in
