like cropping spiders, working still to
glrdle in myself"
It was mlrmuring and sad reply
of the now isolated flower, and lived
not long after it had made it. ssAh,
now | know mine error-having no
wings myself to mate with the lover
who had. Alas! that have loved so
tondly and foolishly; for while thou
hast gone overa thousand forests, see
ing thousand flowers, I have only
known. only looked, oaly lived, for a
single butterfly"
The false one was away, after this,
to another forest; for his ear loved not
reproaches, and he had sense, if not
feeling enough, to see that they were
uttered justly. The flower noted its
departure, and its last sigh was an au-
dible warning to the young bud which
it leftbehind it. The wood-splrit heard
the sigh and the warning and when
the bud began to expand in the pleas
ant sunshine, he persuaded the black
browcd spidertospin hisweb; and frame
his nest, in the thick bushes that hung
around it; and many were the wanton
butterflies, after this, who, coming to
prey upon the innocent affection, be-
came entangled, and justly persisted in
the guardian network thus raised up
to protect it.

FORGIVENESS.
How beautifully falls

How beautifully falls
From humans lips that blessed word Forgive!
Forgiveness---'tis the attribute Of gods;
The sound which openeth Heaven; renews
again
On earth lost Eden's faded bloom, and flings
Hopes halcyon halo Ger the waste oflife.
Thrice happy he whose heart has been so
schooled
In the meek lessons of humility,
That he can give it utterance: it imparts
Celestial grandeur to the human soul,
And maketh man an angel.

ELOQUENT EXTRACT.

The following beautiful passage is taken from
an Address delivered by the Hon. LEWIS CAss,
before the National Historical Society. in the
Capitol at Washington, on the Both Jan. last.

chies of the other hemisphere the deco

tons, and governments. esNor am

called to administer the present consti-
tuition, and whose memory is already
sanctiied by his virtues and services,
"nor am ! less persuaded" he said in
his first address to Congress, after he
had entered upon the execution of his
duties, "that you will agree with me in
opinion, that there is nothing which
can better deserve your patronage than
the promotion of science and literature.

THE WHITE INDIANS.

1t is fact, perhaps not generally
known, that there does exist in the far
west, at least two small tribes or bands
tof white people. One Of these bands
is called Ma,Dheys. They reside in
Mexico, on the southwest side of the
ROCKY mountalns, ana between three
andfye hundred miles from Santa Fe,
towards California, and avallcy which
makes a deep notch in the mountain,
surrounded by high and impossible ridg-
|es, and which can only be entered by
a narrow pass from the south-west.-
They are represented by trappers and
hunters of the west, known to the wri-
ter of this, to be men of veracity, to
be an innocent, inoffensive people, liv-
ing by agriculture, and raising great
numbers Of horses and mules, both Of
which are used by them for food. They
cultivate maize, pumpkins, and beans,
in large quantities.
These people are frequently depre-
dated by their more warlike red neigh
.bors, to which they submit without re-
sort to deadly weapons to repel the ag-
gressors.
Not far distant from the Mawkeys,
and in the same range Of country, is an
other band Of the same description, cal
led Nobbehoes. A description Of eth
er Of those tribes will answer for both.
They have been described to the writer
by two men, in whose veracity the full
lest confidence may be placed and they
say the men are Of the common stature,
with light blue eyes, and that their skin
is Of the most delicate whiteness. One
of my informants, who saw seven Of
these people at Santa Re, in 1921, in
describing the Mawkeys, says, "they
are as much whittier than me, as ] am
whittier than the darkest Indian in the
Creek nation," and my informant was
of as good'a complexion as white men
generally are.
A trapper, on one occasion, in a wan
dering excursion, arrived at the village
Of the Mawkeys. He was armed with
a rifle, a pair Of belt pistols, knife, and
to,nahawk; all of which were new to
them, and appeared to excite their won
der and surprise. After conversing
some time by signs, he fred one ofhis
pistols; instantly the whole group a.
round him fell to the earth in the ut
most transformation; they entreated him
not e hurt them, and showed in vari-
Gus ways that they thought him SUI
pernatural being. He saw vast nuns,
bers Of horses and mules about the vii
lage.

DEw.-Savary tells us that Egypt
would be uninhabitable, did not the ma
tural dews restore life to vegetables.
These dews are so copious, especially
in summer, that the earth is deeply
soaked with them; so that in the NOR
ming one would imagine that rain had
fallen during the night. TheIsraelites
inhabited climate similar to that of E.
gypt, and hence the Lord promises
them the dew of heaven as signal
favor. Tull says, "The dews seem to
be the richest present the atmosphere
gives to the earth. When purified in
in vessel, it has black sediment like
mud, whichprobably occasions the dark
color Of the upper part Of the ground.
The sulphur which is found in the dew
may be the chief ingredient Of the &C.
,nent Of the earth -sulphura being very
glutinous, as nitrc is dissolvent. Dew
has both those properties. So great is
the change produced upon vegetation
by the descent Of the dew, that every
thing which appeared dead and dying,
Immediately became lively and delight
full. But, however refreshing and in-
these dews are tovegetation,
they are most injurious and dangerous
to the human constitution.

Prussia-The King Of Prussia has
400 millions of francs great part dis
gorged by France after her subiugation
to the Holy Alliance.
Austria-The Emperor has not o.
|pened it for forty years, but to add to
lit. From the mines Of Hungary alone,
which are his property, he has gold
which would coin l2 millions of ducats
alone, and which never goes into cir
culation.
Holland-The Dutch King is Sc
cond Crnsus-his treasure has been re-
|plcnished by all the provinces which
he has lost or preserved.
Saxony-This monarch has more
jewelry than money.
Mecklenburg, Denmark, Sweden, and
Bavaria-These potentates are poor,
and scarcely can make both ends meet.

we received the instalments due BY

will be, loss to the claimants, Of from
fve to seyen per cent. Their agents, or
some of them, have objected to this pro-
cedure, and have used their best efforts
to induce the Secretary to adopt diff

ted, and by means Of which they would
be protected against this loss. The Sec

auth horised to make the change, cas- he

brought into the country by the govern

owners, and to their damage at least
three hundred thousand dollars. An at
tempt is now making, by one or more Of
the agents, to have section added TO

sentatives, Sc, will proceed about 10
o'clock from Townsend's, under the es-
cort of the Artillery Company to the

NO SURPLUS.

The Spy in Washington tells an anus
ing story Of the President, which he as
serts to be fact. The men who have
the "Roaring Lion" in charge have in
duced him to believe that there is no
surplus in the Treasury. Within, ten
days Gen. Jackson complained to a
member Of the attempts making in Con-
gress to divide the surplus "Why, sir,
(said the General } ! tell you there is no
surplus to divide; and the public lands
are yet in debt, and pledged for the pay
ment OF ten millions Of dellars.''
"And what" SAYS the Spy, "does this
prove? Does it not say to you, in tones
that are trumpet-tongued, Congress will
adjourn (if the people remain passive)
without distributing this enormous and
rapidly increasing amount Of cash in the
treasury? But let them awake from
their slumbers, and millions upon mil
lions will Immediately circulate, giving
new springs to our home industry, and
vigor to commerce; and thus, like the
fertilizing waters Of the Nile when its
banks are overAowed, nurturing, cheer
ing, and enriching all within its scope
or influence. Why should not this re-
lief be granted to the community? Why,
not restore that which of right belongs
TO them? For what honest or honorable
purpose are the administration struggling
to retain this surplus in the pets and un-
der their control till cyier the presiden-
tial election.

BURNING OF A THEATRE.-One hun
dred and t,Oenty-sir ipes lost.-A dread
ful catastrophe occurred at a theatre
booth, in st. Petersburg, on Sunday,
the 18th February. A beam took fire
from a lamp during the performance,
when the building was soon enveIoped
in flames. The greater part Of the au-
dience in the boxes effected their escape
without injury, but those in the pit crowd
ed into narrow passage, which was
soon blocked up, when the roof fell, and
covered them with frebrands; Of above
four hundred persons who were in the
booth, one hundred and twenty
males and FIVE females perished, and
ten more were severely injured. The

TIE LAND BlLL.-Mr. Clay address
sed the Senate yesterday in support Of
his great measure-the bill to distribute
among the several States the nett pro-
ceeds ofthe Public Lands. We thought,
after hearing the able and comprehen-
sive arguments Of Messrs. Ewing,
Southard and White, in favor Of this ben
Efficient measure, that the subject was
exhausted; that, at any rate, but little
new could be urged in its defence. Mr..
Clay, however, in one Of the most lu-
minous and forcible arguments which we
have ever heard him deliver, placed tho
subject in new lights, and gave to it new
claims to favor. He was not only strong
and eloquent, as he ever is, but he was
clear and perspicueus in the most COM
plex parts of his argument. Indeed, tho
whole train Of his reasoning appeared to
US a series Of demonstrations; and we
cannot conceive how any mind open to
conviction could have listened to it un-
convinced.
A large portion Of the members of the
other House, we were glad for their
own sakes, we're present during the
whole speech; and the galleries were
crowded to excess by great numbers of
ladies' as well as gentlemen.
