POETRY.
From ihe Caskef
INDIAN "REMINISCENCES.


NY J. K. DOW.
A chcerless wgwam rent and torn,
A SOLITARY hearth,
grave where friends have ceased to mourn
daisied heap OF earth
little slresnlet fringed with green.
Where empty beaver huts are seen
mark upon moudering tree
The monarch Of the wild
hollow oak where housed the bee,
mound with pebbles piled;
An AK Of lint an arrow head
knife-blsde rusting with the daad.
A mateess bird, wounded deer,
hi!l top strewn with bones.
Small circles brown from vefdure clear,
Rude pictures on the stones
Deep pathways in the granite trod,
Where blazed the altar fires Of God
wampum string'of white and blue,
robe Of painted skin,
A feather faded with the dew,
VOLTS head on the grim:
red deer's horn, broken gourd,
bark Canoe beside The ford.
A hollow stone upon the plain,
A pestle by its side,
field where waved the golden grain,
A sapling peeled aud dyed
Dark vistas where the fire had spread,
And tails scarce open to the tread.
A moulderng torch beside the food,
A mat amid the leaves,
A rocky fortress stained with blood,
Where sad the spider wcaves
red clay pipe, copper ring,
A powerless bow with broken string.
A fountain scoopod beneath tree,
A maple tapped and dead,
A thistle patch upon the lea,
Whence downy showers are shed,
A place where birds in shyness come,
And where the red foxs cub is dumb.
The crow and eagle hover there,
The snake glides down the glen,
Amid the ravne provides the bear,
And blllhcy chrps the wren
The cricket whistles in the nook,
While mink and musquash watch the brook
There, once the red mans war -whoop rang,
There, blooming nature smiled,
There, sweet the Indian maiden sang,
Orpicked the moss rose wild
A nd there the bones Of warriors sleep,
While spirits their lone viglls keep.

THE SENATOR

II will be seen that The Legislature, afler eleven
baotings failed TO elect Senator aud that the Sc
nate insisted uron the indei ite postponement Of the
joint order We prepared for almost any re-
sui and are greatly surprised therefore, that in
the present state of paries there should be no cleo
ton The responsibility Of defeating the will of
The Whg party in Virginia. and in the Union, rests
upon three men Messrs. BAyLY, CRArroRD. and
SMrru, who in contempt OF the wishes Of their
siiluents and under the influence OF bgotted pre-
indicc. the result of ignorance and vanity, persisted
in the refusal to vote for MIR. RyEs Had either

the ii iuse Mr.. Rives would have been chosen
The responsibility snot taken from them by the
fusal of the Conservatives to vote Tor ALLEN What
ever may be the issue, upon the shoulders OF these
three gentlemen must the responsibility rest---to
them must the odium attach. 1t is nof likely that
reconsideration will take place. and Virginia will,
for Another year. be deprivedo Of moiey of her re-
presentation in the Senate.
