POUR NOT THE VOICE OF GRIEF.

M ROBERT MORRIS.
Pour not the voice of grief
Above the sable bier!
Theweary spirit finds relief
In some more hallowed sphere.
Whaqrecks it that the lip
Hath lost its thrilling hue
Untainted was their fellowship
AS blushing rose and dew.
And now-too soon creeping thing,
VIII. like Icech, there feed and cling!
Yet weep not for the dead
Who early pass away
Ere hope and JOY and youth have fled,
Ere woe has wrought decay'
Better to die in youth,
When life is green and bright,
Than when the heart has lost its truth
In age and sorrows night
Then woes and years around us throng
And deaths chill grasp is on us long.
Life is riled flower
When loves pure visions fade
A broken spell-a faded hour
An echo-and d shade!
The poets thirst for fame,
And syren beauty's kiss,
Ambitions height, and honor's name
But yield phantom bliss
And man turns back from every goal
Thirgtiug for some high bliss of soul!
Would had died when young!
How many burning tears,
And wasted hopes and severed ties
Had spared my after years.
And she on whose pale brow,
The damp and cold earth lies,
Whose pure heart in its virgin glow
Was mirrored in dark eyes!
Would had faded soon with her.
My boyhood's earliest worshipper'
Pour not the voice of wo
Shed not the burning tear
When spirits from the cold earth go
Too bright TO linger here!
Unsullied let them pass
Into obliyion's tomb
Like snow-hales melting in the sea
When rife with vestal bloom.
Then strew fresh flowers above the grave
And let the tall grass o'er it wave!

INTERESTING LAW CASE The Athens
| (Tennessee) Journal has the following
notice of an interesting case which was
recently decided at that place by Judge
Keith:
A Cherokee Indian, confined by Gen.
Scott for improper conduct, was brought
before tho Judge on writ of Habeas
Corpus, with ayiew of procuring~his dis
charge. The case was argued at full
length, and with considerable abllity-on
the part of the prisoner, by Judge Roane
/ of North Carolina, and j. T. GiilesPy,
Esq. of Madsonvile, Tenn.,-in defence
| of the application by Gen Scott, who ap
pcared In person, and made his own de-
fence, assisted, however hy Maj Jarna-
gin, who was employed, we suppose, by
the cherokee authorities, 10 attend to any
general question, which might arise in
the course of the Investigations, inyoly-
ing the interests Of the Cherokees On
the subject of emigration.
For he prisoner ii was contended, first;
That he was citizen OF North Carolina
because his ancestors had previously ta'
ken a reservation in that State under the
treaties of 1917 and 1919, and lastly,
that he had been permitted by General
Smith, Superintendent Of Emigration,
with the appreciation OF the Commssio ner
of Indian affairs, TO remain IN the coun-
try. On the other side it was contended
that the prisoner was not a citizen and
that the'permission to remain was void,
being in violation of the treaty Of 1856,
and not given by the authority of the
President of the United States. General
Scott. moreover. claimed the right, and
did, in the body of his return to the writ
of habeas corpus, revoke the permission
: 1giqen TO the prisoner to remain IN the
country.
Judge Keith determined, in substance
: that the prisoner was no citizen-that, b,
the terms of the treaty of 1855, tht
Cherokees were bound TO leave the coun
try ceded, and the time agreed upon il
. which they bound themselves to remove
have expired, the Government Of the Uni
; ned States not only had authority, bu
were bound TO remove the Indians iron

officers Of the State possessed no author
). ity to discharge from the custody of tn
u officers charged with the removal OF Tn
Il Indians, the body of any prisoner legal

ron TIE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND Ar-


PENDIX
These works have been published by
us for six years. There are now more
subscribers for them, probably, than for
any other paper published in the United
States; certainly more than there are for
any other paper published in this District.
This large and increasing subscription is
conclusive evidence of their usefulness.
They are invaluable TO ali who feel an in
terest in the proceedings of Congress.--
No other publication gives them SO full,
nor half so cheap. tits, indeed, the cheap
est publication in the United States-per-
haps in the world. Our position at the
seat of Government enables us to print
them at 50 low a rate. We are compelled
to publish the proceedings of c 1ngress In
detail, for our daily paper. This done,
it requires, comparatively, but small
additional expense TO change them 10 the
forms of the Congressional Globe and Ap.
pendx. II il were not for these circ I'M
stances, we could not publish them for
four times the sum charged.
The Congressional Globe is made up
of the daily proceedings Of the two houses
Of Congress, and the speeches Of the
members, condensed. The yeas and nays
on all important subjects are given. tits
published weekly, with small type, on
sixteenroyal quarto pages.
] he Appendix contains the speeches of
/ the members, at fall length, written out
by themselves, and is printed in the same
form as the Congressional Globe. 1t il
published as fast as the speeches can be
prepared. Usually there are more mum
bers printed for a session than there are
weeks in it.
Zach OF these works is complete in
itself Bat it is desirable for every sub
scriber TO have both; because, if there
should he any ambiguity in the synopsis
of speech in the Congressional Globe.
or any denial of its correctness, it may
be removed at once, by referring to the
speech in the Appendix.
Indexes TO both are sent TO subscribers
as soon as they can be prepared after the
adjournment of Congress-.

Constantine republican. [volume] (Constantine, Mich.) 1836-1838, 1838-05-30
From the Boston Courier.

The United States Gazette of Phiadel-
phia on Wednesday week contained the
following paragraph, which all printers will
at once pronounce remarkable, although
from the source from which they received
it, undoubtedly true:
Yesterday morning, after the inside OF
our paper had been worked of, the press
man took the great form, containing the
types of both pages, from the press, and
hooked it to the block and tackle, to lower
il into the composing room when some
part of the machinery gave way, and the
whole form came down from the third to
the second story Of the office, cutting away
the floor like thunder bolt; but so well
had it been locked up" that not type
was disturbed"
Our friend of the Gazette was always
one Of fortunes favorites. " HIS lines have
fallen in pleasant Places" and Nature made
him good tempered and happy. When the
rest of us get cross, he takes things calmly;
when our pressmen stumble, it costs US a
large sum Of money to repair damages ;
but when his forms fall some twenty feet
or more, they strike in the right place, and
cost nothing but the carpenters bill for
mending floors. He is the last man IN the
world that will ever be able to sing Ger.
tain parody we recollect of commencing
somehow thus:
81 never had piece Of bread,
Particularly good and wide,
But it fell upon the sanded floor,
And ALWAYS on the buttered side"
