THE FATHERLESs.

By mas. ARDY.
Seek rot the smiling vale, sweet boy,
With early wild howe,s gay,
Where birds pour forth song Of Joy
And silvery waters play:
Though vioie,s spring beneath thy feet
Though blossoms scent the aif,
No welcome shall thy presents greet
Thy father is not there.
Seek not the room, remembered well,
Where Oft thou wonldst glide,
Eager thy childish tale to tell,
Close to Thy falher'sside.
How wou'd,t thou count his TREASURED book
And praise his pictures rare;
But never shall a fathers looks
Again rejoice thee there.
Some bid thee turn TO yonder mound,
Where mourufnl yew-trces rise,
And tell the in that halloved ground
Thy cherished father lies.
Oh. SEEK bis grave with sorrowing heart,
Strew it with loweis fair;
But tits thy fathers mortal part
Alone that moulle-s there.
lie lives above the yaulted skies,
With spirits pure and kind,
And casts perchance his watchlul eyes
On those he left behind.
May all the counsels he has gwen
May oil his pious care,
Aid thee to turn thy pious ihougbts on Ieav'n,
And lead thy footsteps there
Vain, deares, boy, thy rarthward gaze,
Vain thy bcseeching sshs,
The guardian OF thy infant days
Can glad not here thine eyes;
Yet, still pursue thy course oflove,
In faith, in hope, and prayer,
Till thou shall reach thy realms above,
And meet thy father thee.

From the ST. Louis Penndnf.

NORTHEASTERN BoUNDARF.-The National
lntelligencer, speaking of the message sub
mItted by the President on the 29th ult. says:
The documents were read. and the message
stated that the proposition last made by this
government had been accepted by the British
government. That the report Of the British
commissioners of their survey Of the disputed
territory, which was wholly exparte; and
differed essentially from the construction
given in the United States to the treaty of
1888, had not yet been accepted by the
British government. But the President
strongly recommended immediate provision
by Congress for, a commission to survey the
disputed territory on the part Of the United
States.
1t appeared further from the other docu-
ments that the plan now mutually agreed
to for The final settlement of tins question, is
the appointment Of joint commission by the
W governments Tor the settlement of all the
points in dispute. and the points on which
they cannot agree are to be referred to an
arbitration, which is to be final and decisive.
