you remember the time when / first sought
your home,
When smile, not word, was the summons
to come?
When you called me friend; till you found
with surprise
That our friendship turned out to be love in
disguise.
You remember it--don't you
ouwiIl think ofit-won't YOU?
Yes, yes.of all this the remembrance will last,
Long after the present fades into the past.
You remember the grief that grew lighter
when shared:
With the bliss you remember, could aught be
eompareda
You remember how fond was my earliest
vow?
Not fonder than that which breathe to thee
now,
You remember it--doh'tyou?
You will think of it-won 7 you ?
Yes, yes ofaH this the remembrance will last:
Long after the present fades into the past

We are happy to learn that Cover
ne CALI viii not, i'll consequence of
this cheering Intelligence, relax his Wig
lance in protecting the frontier. A
strong Gordon will be maintained until
the last Indian is beyond our limits.
Indeed, it is to be expected that few
desperadoes, and especially the Micas-
uky band, will still hold out, notwith-
standing the general capitulation of the
nation. It is hoped that the counties,
heretofore so prompt in the discharge
of their duties, will forthwith furnish
their quotas, and not leave stain on
their patriotism on the eve of glorious
termination of our difficulties.

senting the principal chief, Micano-
py, and fully empowered by him, en-
tered into with Major General Tho
mas s. Jesup, commanding the Uni
ted States forces in Florida, this 9th
day of March, one thousand eight
hundred and thirtyseven.
ARTICLE 1. The chiefs above nam
ed, in behalf of themselves and the ma
ton, agree that hostilities shall cease
Immediately, and shall not be resumed.
ARTICLE ?. They agree and bind
themselves that the entire nation shall
Immediately emigrate to the country as
signed them by the President of the u.
States west of the Mississippi.
ARTICLE 3. Until they emigrate
they will place in the possession Of the
General commanding, the troops, hos
tages for the faithful performance of
their engagements.
ARTICLE 4. The Indians shall imme-
diately withdraw to the south of the

ARTICLE 5.-Maior General JEs,1p
IN behalf OF the United States, agrees
that the Seminoles, and their allies who
come in and emigrate to the West

erty; that their negroes, their bona fide
property, shall accompany them to the
West, and that their cattle anaaponies
shall be paid for by the United States
at fair valuation.

Foreign Capital IN this Couutru

Foreign Capital IN this Country.
1t is estimated by the Barings, the
London Bankers, that the amount Of
British capital invested-not for spec
ulation, but for income-in the public
works, banks, state credits, and institu-
tons of the United States, now ex-
ceeds twenty millions sterling, or near
ly ninety millions of dollars. In their
circular, it is stated, that they observe a
growing disposition to increase their in
vestments in this country, and we are
gratified to learn that the American Sc
curlties are deemed equal to those
which any country in Europe can af-
ford.
The Dallas doctrine, which would
destroy all security in investments in
public stock, had a tendency to unset
tie the confidence of European capital
lists in the public stocks of this country 4;
and the chief object of the circular, a.
bove alluded to, was to assure the mo-
ney lenders Of Europe, that the doc
trine received no countenance here :;
and that the public faith ofevery State
in the Union would be observed invio-
late.-BaH. CAvon.

with those gallant spirits who, in Jan
uary, 1884, in the Virginia Legislature,
denounced the removal of the deposits
as Gan unauthorized assumption and
dangerous exercise Of Executive pow
err" The resolutions which passed the
Legislature were, it is well known, so
explicit and severe in the condemna-
ton of that measure, that Mr.. RIvEs,
differing entirely as he did with the
Legislature in his views, of its constitu-
tionality and expediency, resigned his
seat in the Senate. We need not tell
the intelligent reader, that Mr.. Glars
resolution-since expunged-was not
more severe in its denunciations, than
the resolution which received the sup
port Of Mr.. RoANE. Well, the revolu-
ton Of the spring of 1885 took place,
and the odious process Of expunging
commenced. Mr.. LEIGH, who had
been elected to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by Mr.. RIvEs's retirement, and
his colleague, were instructed to vote
for Mr.. Benton's resolution. They
refused and resigned. Mr.. RIvEs was
reinstated 1.-The foul deed was CONSUME

A ROMANTIC AFFAIR.

The Woodsocket(R. L. Patriot vouch-
es for the truth of the annexed incl
dents. "There lived in Vermont a few
years since, three peculiarly happy in
dividuals-two twin brothers, young
men, and young lady; the names Of
which are of no consequence to the
reader. The two brothers fell in love
with the young lady; and at the same
time the young lady~was smitten with
the charms of each of the twins.-In
this predicament, the young men lived
on for number of months, each declar-
ing that their hope of the future would
be obliterated, without the idol of their
affections. Finally, as things grew
more serious, the eldest gave up "the
chase" to the younger; and departed
for the far west. Time passed on, and
the younger brother was united to the
lady. Scarcely had the honey moon
elapsed, when the elder brother return
ed and declared his inability to live
without the angel, in which were gar
nered up all the affections Of his heart.
After regular session, it was agreedby
the parties that the elder brother should
take the place ofhis younger brother in
'bed and board" This done, the
younger brother left all, heart broken,
SC. and went into the Gland of invisi-
bility, "and has not since been heard of.
He has been gone upwards of year,
and whether he will ever appear again
to claim relationship with the living
couple the Green Mountains may here
after testify"

A VERY EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR,


The New York Mercantile Adverti-
ser, of a recent date, related the fol-
lowing One bright frosty morning,
not long since, young and beautiful
lady, of slender form, wrapped in a
acwing cloak with graceful bow, enter
ed the dry goods store of Mr..
in Broadway. She was not slow to ex-
ercise all the privileges of her order, ;"
q. e. overhaul half the contents of the
store.) The counter was covered with
rich silks, satins, and velvets-the del
icate manufactures Of Paris, and the
more substantial productions of Spital-
field, were in turn submitted to her in
spection, and after proper lady like
delay, some trifling selection was made,
and the pretty purchaser tripped out,
casting sweet smiles upon the good loo
king young clerks as she passed down
the counters. But her actions had not
been unnoticed by the lynx-eyed pro-
prietor.-He instantly followed her,
and waiting till they approached the
corner of one of the quiet streets lead
ing off Broadway, he tapped her on the
shoulder, and requested few minutes
conversation.
At first there was a manifestation of
indignant hauteur, but a single whisper
converted the naughty curl of the lip
into one Of trembling terror, and an i'm
ploring look from a pair of beautiful
dark eyes, almost unhinged his resolu-
ton; but moments reflection sugges-
ted all the advantages her imprudence
had given him.
All arts ofwoman, conscious of the
majesty ofbeauty were brought to bear
IN succession upon the feelings of the
impenetrable merchant; and hints were
>thrown out of the immeasurable extent
cf her gratitude; but all in vain. AT
Igth, finding all her shifts bootless,
she was forced to make candid con-
fession of her name, rank, and connex-
ions.
What was his surprise to find that she
wasa daughter ofone ofth most respec-
table & wealthy citizens of the city! He
paused, s. walked fewpaces in silence
by the side of the unlucky girl, whose
feelings could not have been enviable.
At last, having made up his mind, he
turned abruptly on his victim and said,
"Madam, you have robbed me- an I'M
ploringlook; ]yes, madam, you have rob-
bed me 81 you know it; you have now a.

a load Of wood. Having felled a tree,

With great difficulty he succeeded in
rolling himself on to the sled and star
ted the oxen for home. AS soon as he
reached the door, he called eagerly for
help. His terrified wife and daughter
with much effort lifted him into the
house, as he was wholly unable to
help himself, saying his foot was near
ly severed from his leg. He was laid
carefully ON the bed, grooming all the
while very bitterly. His wife hastily
prepared dressings, and removed the
shoe and sock, expecting to see des-
perate wound, when To-! the skin was
not even broken. Before going out in
the morning he had wrapped his feetin
red flannel to protect them from the
cold: the cash laid this open to his
view, and he thought it flesh s. blood.

tends areal wound followed. Man Of
ten suffers more from imaginary evils,
