man, but displaying to the last his native elevation of soul, dignity of department and an undauuted courage. Alone, un- friended, without consolation or sympathy, he closed his mortal career with the decla- ration, that he only lamented he had bu, one life to lose for his country." When Andre stood upon the scaffofd, he called ou all around him to bear witness, that he die ed like brave man. The dying words ot Hale embodied nobler and more sublime sentiment; breathing a spirit of satisfac- ton, that, although brought to an untmely end, it was his lot to die martyr in his country's cause. The whole tenor of his conduct, and this declaration i!self, were such proofs of his bravery, that it required not to be more audibly proclaimed. The following tribute is from the muse of Dr. 1 Dwight:

 "Thus, while fond virtue wished in vain to save. Hale, bright and generous, found hapless grave; | With genius living fame hisbosoU elowpd, | And science charmed him to her swce, abode; n wo'ih sia'r pah, h.s feet sasshiused far, Tue pr'ee ct peace, the r's;rg grace of war" KY There was striking similarity between the character and acts of Hale and Andre, but in one essential point of difference the former appears to much the greater advan. tage. Hale was promised no reward, nor did he expect any. 1t was necessary that the service should be undertaken from purely Virtuous motives, without hope of gain or of honor; because it was of na- tnre not to be executed by the common class of spies, who are influenced by pecu- niary consideration and promotion could not be offered as an inducement, since that would be temptation for an officer to haz- ard his life as a spy, which commander could not with propriety hold out. View ed in any light, the act must be allowed to bear unequivocal marks of patriotic disin- terestedneSs and self-denial. But Andre had a glorious prize before him the chance of distinguishing himself iu military en- terprize, honors, renown, and every allure ment that could aatter, hope and stimu- late ambition. To say the least, his per- sonal advantages were to be commensurate with the benefit to his country. But what ever may have been the parallel between these two individuals while living, it ceased with their death. A monument was raised and consecrated to the memory of Andre by the bounty ofa grateful sovereign. His ashes have been removed from their ob- scure resting place, transported across the ocean, and deposited with the remains of the illustrous dead in Westminster Abbey. | Where is the memento of the virtues, tbe patriotic sacrifice, the early fate of Hale It is not inscribed in marble, it is hardly recorded in books.
