From tAs Louissills Journal.

The following lines, spoken on the stage by Miss
Clarke ON Monday evening, upon the occasion oil
her bidding final adieu TO her profession, have
been handed us for publication;
come to say farewell! In that one word
There is a wild and melancholy tone
That echoes through the chambers OF the heart
Like the deep tollings OF funeral bell
Yet few moments and the broken words,
Now faltering from my lips, Wilde away,
And shall never lift my voice again
Amid this scene of all my thousand hopes
And fears and aspirations.
Fare We WE'LL
Long years upon their wings Of light and shade
Have passed since first l came, a stranger girl
And mel your generous welcome We have been
The humble orphans friend, and OH my heart
Has thanked you with feeling far too deep
Too eloquent for words. Here Hopes young
flowers
Have opened and expanded-for your smiles
shone on them like the sunlight and your tears
Were as the dews of eveniide. And now,
Atthis sad hour Of parting need tell
How many holy recolections come
Forth from the silent graves Of buried years
To pass like shadowy troops Of specire-forms
Ger Memory's wizard glass Each passing year
Has bound me TO you'll have wandered far
Where the bleak tempests of the frozen North
Swept DER their mountain barriers-I have roved
Where the rich blossoms of the sunny South
Seemed stars amid the twilight Of the woods
tet Sill from every scene Oh JOY OF woe
My heart would turn TO seek this much-loyed
spot
AS flies the dove 10 her own favorite vale,
Or as the sick and wearied infant turns
To It's own parent breast
Farewell! farewell
My wanderings now are ended--and go
To seek the sill and quiet paths of life
Where the kind plaudits of the generous crowd
Can never reach me more. Yet even there
My thoughts will lnger still upon the past,
Which, like seal upon my melted heart,
Is set forever. OF the many hours,
The hours that We have blest, will rise and seem
The brightest leaf in Memory's pictured book
A thrilling tone of music in my life,
A sunbow gassed in retrospeciion's tears,
on stealing DER the silence of my thoughts
And rendering life still beautiful.-Farewell!

The following is that part of the Presidents
Message omitted in last weeks paper.
The condition Of our foreign relations has not
materially charged since the last annual message
of my predecessor. We remain at peace with
all nations; and no efforts on my part consistent
with the preservation of our rights and the honor
of the country, shall he spared by me to main
tain position SO consonent to our institutions.
We have faithfully sustained the foreign policy
with which the United States, under the guidance
OF their first President, took their stand III the
family Of uations-that of regulating their inter-
course with other powers by the approved prin-
ciples ofprivate life asking and according equal
rights and equal privileges; rendering and de-
manding justice i'll all cases; advancing their
own, and discussing the pretensions Of others,
with candor, directness, and sincerity: appealing
at all times to reason but never yielding to force,
nor seeking to acquire any thing for themselves
by its exercise.
A rigid adherance to this policy has left this
Government with scarcely claim upon it's JUS
tce, for injuries arising from acts committed by
It's authority. The most imposing and perpIeX-
ing OF those of the United States upon foreign
Governments, fer aggressions upon our citizens
were disposed of by my predecessor. lndepend-
emily OF the benefits conferred uDon our citizens
by restoring to the mercantile communityso ma
