The State of Missouri claims to enter inc improvement or pre-emption, as a matter of right, and against the assent of tic claimant. Ue claim only on condition Mat hle settler gares his Written assent, which we file in the office of Land Agent, and can furnish the Register With copy,'lf required by the De- partment, at the time the application is made to locate for the State, with such other regu- latlons as you may think proper to require.
 In all former grants and donations to States or individuals, floats, or other claims, the right to locate pre-emptions has been inva- nably allowed, upon the condition of the assent of the claimant, by filing his relin- punishment or assent in the Registers office. need not refer you to particular cases, for am sure you are too familiar with the law and practice, to trouble you with precedents. feel well assured, from the evidence fur nished heretofore and now enclosed, you will not hesitate moment to reverse the decision Tn our case; and l am convinced vou will find no analogy in our case and that of Mis- souri.
 Should you take the same view of the sub- ject that do,I will endeavor to observe such regulations as you may prescribe in relation to the matter, or if you should conceive that my relinquishment is not sufficiently explicit. The importance of this decision to the State, hope, will induce you to forward me an immediate reply to this communication

 EARLY LOVE Oh! there is nought that earth can give. In after days like this, The first pure ligh: of early love, In its unmingled bliss. The thou may'st tread nowery path, And meet the worlds bright smile, And still within thy bosom bear spirit free from guile, Thou cans't not keep undimmcd the light, That now, in radiant glow, Around thy youthful heart is cast, And OCT thy placid brow. Time may pass on and honors crown, And fame halo shed, And early feelings, all forgot, May slumber with the dead; But ask thy heart when glory trump Is sounding in thine ear, Can it's deep voice 10 thee mpart, A feeling halt so dear As that low strain of guileess praise, Breathed in love's mellowed tone, From lips whose glowing ardor now, Down to the dust has gone.

A TALE.


 Not many years ago, Polish lady, of plebeian birth, but of exceeding beauty and accomplishments, won the affections of a young noblemon, who, having her consent, solicited her from her father, and was refused We may easily imagine the astonishment of the nobleman.
 ssAm Inot," said he, ssof sufficient rank to aspire to your daughters haudD
 sY You are, undoubtedly, of the best blood of Poland.o
 "And my fortune and reputation, are they not"
 s.Your estate is magnificent, and your con duct is irreproachable.o
 "Then, having your daughters consent, how could l expect refusal p
 ssThis, sir,'' replied the father, Sis my oa!!,, child, and her happiness is the chief concern of my life. All the possessions of fortune are precarious; what fortune gives, at her caprice she takes away. see no security for the independence and comfortable living of wife, but one; in a word, am resolved that no one shall be the husband of my daughter, who is not at the same time master of c trade !''
 The nobleman bowed, and retired silently. A year or two after, the father was sitting at the door, and saw approaching his house wagons laden with baskets, and at the head of the cavalcade, person in the dress of a basket-maker. And who. do you suppose it was The former suitor of his daughter the nobleman turned basket-maker. He was now master of trade, and brought the wares made by his own hands for inspection, and certificate from his employer in testi- mony of his skill.
 The condition being fulfilled, no further obstacle was opposed to the marriage. But the story is not yet told. The revolution came; fortunes were plundered, and lords were scattered as chaf before the four winds of heaven. Kings became beggars-sone of them teachers-and the noble Pole supported his wife and her father in the infrmities of age, by his basket-making industry.
