Well might thou doubt my poor world-beate
barque,
To bear my fortunes DER life's stormy a.
The tempest then was bowling fierce and dark,
And its wild wrath was terrible to thee;
And but one light shone in the murky sky
Twas Loves bright star !-our hope our destiny
That sad unbdden fear--'tis past--'tis past
And though there ling reth still that Threatening
cloud,
No shadows on our spirits can it cast,
Nor there that light, It's powerless to shroud,
| Beams clearer-purer still, as years depart
The bright continuing sunshine of the heart
Star of our welded life thy frightening ray,
Hath never faded from the upper sky
My spirits darkness thou hast turned to day,
And thy soft beams now light that fearful eye,
For this, | thank thee Father who to me
Didst give that light it borroweth from thee
Nine circling seasons now their course have run
Since my world frozen heart thy love did warm
Since-when told thee it was all thine own
Home for lile's sunshne-shelter fromits Storm
Thou, gentle one, didst nestle by my side,
anu W thdt nCdIII CldSpeu tileS, dS my UrluS
1t doth not seem so long :--yet Time hath fled,
For there are sweet and ever blooming flowers,
Our daughters---come to tell US years have sped,
Their age, Loves only record of the hours!
And since left thee, yet another one
Waiteth his sires first kiss IT'S thine MY son
am alone---and far from them and thee
Yet have swift-winged Thought land to thy
home,
When evening shadows fall, | haste to see
The smile of JOY that waiteth TIL l cone,---
Leaving behind all thoughts that give US pain,
To clasp my loved ones to my heart again.
God keep them ever land if memory's page,
When am gone, should hear my humble name,
Or with the record of the passing age
Be linked one act of mine, deserving fame
Long as that fame one heart is treasured in,
Be thine the praise, Thy love inspired to win
God keep thee, ever dearest! May no cloud
OF Sorrow cast its shadow on thy brow;
Or if come, still beaming through its shroud,
May Love and Hope shine beautiful as now;
Till, whenthe tie that joins our hearts is riven,
1t blendeth with the better light of Heaven!

Thou Who didst teach my youthful muse to sing,
Strung her new harp, and claimed her earliest
strain;
Hover thou near me on thy spirit wing,
And will wake its melody again
Surely 10 thee its sweetest strains belong
Thy lope-thy truth-thy constancy my song
Zen from the dawning of my spirits life,
No soul hath breathed its sympathy for me;
No kindly word had cheered me in the strife;
And was like gnarled and blighted tree,
Which, planted firmly on the storm gods path,
Scorns all his fury, and de6es his wrath!
The world had never loved me. Ia child
Cast on its bosom, found that bosom cold;-
1t spurned me, when thought it would have smi-
led,-
And when / offered love it asked for-gold;
And showed me-Love, an article of trade
And truth and friendship waiting TO be paid
loathed it then and each day nerred nv soul,
As with year of strength, It's hate to brave;
never bowed me to its base control -
And thus my heart became living grave
OF strong affections. Thou did'st set them free,
And all its treasured wealth belongs TO thee
1t is all thine. Oh, would THAR were more.
And better worth the sacrifice it cost -
Kind friends-thy pleasant home--and all the
store
OF love thy life had gathered-these thou lost !!
Each would have shared, and each have claimed a
part
Now, thou hast love for love, and heart for heart
A waaderer flen-poor, friendless and alone
No house-no lands-no boarded wealth were
mine;
Thou vert my all, and thou vert all my own;
All, was rich to win heart like thine (!
Love that wealth buys with poverty will fail,
But truth like thine is never kept for sale!
1--WE given up ell loved, for thee alone!"
Thsss were thy words, which memory aye will
keep;
When thou Wit, me did'st brave the cold worlds
frown;
And on my bosom sobbed thyself to sleep
Best pledge of earnestove, thy young hearts fears;
And sweetest proof of love, those bridal <arsi

The Ruling Passion.

An old woman named Alice Cook died lately
at Pennance Vean, Gwi,hian, aged seventy
one. Her habits were most eccentric and pc.
nurlous. Her appearance exhibited poverty
and wretchedness in the extreme, such as
would excite pity in any breast She lived by
herself until within a few days Of her death
On her decease, large sum of money was
found secreied in an old chest, with notes oil
hand for large amounts, which she had lent al
interest. She had bequealhed the whole oi
her property TO her grandson, cow about SIX
years old. She was the owner Of a small es-
tate, the rent of which was E25 year. Be-
sides the money, there were found in the
house large stock of clothes, six badders OF
snuff, with TWO large pots of butter, and Two
poIs Of pork, which had been sailed before
her husband died, six years ago. and had thus
long been carefully preserved TO spoil. The
cause OF her death was characteristic. A
short time since she promised boy penny
for allowing her 10 ride from GWithian 10 Cop
er.house, distance of more than mile, and
approaching the end of her journey, she tried
10 slip out of The hind par. Of the cart unper-

POETRY.

The following Poem appeared first in paper
called the States Rights Republican, published in
Richmond, Va No recent American Poem has
received more universal and merted praise, andwe
subscribe to the opinion expressed by contempo-
rary, that it is the hearts own language, clothed
in the soft drapery Of love and truth"
Mr. Gardner, the author, recently met an un-
timely death a; Norfolk, Va. by the discharge OF a
pistol whether accidental by designs is unknown.
He was engaged in a personal alteration with a
Mr. Cook, with whom he had some previous mis-
understanding, when Cook was seen to raise his
walking cane. Gardner stepped back, and drew
from his pocket a revolving pistol; upon which
Cook dropped his cane, and seized the pistol. A
deadly struggle ensued, during which Cook sue
ceeded in wrenching the pistol from Gardner, and
it was discharged the ball entering the heart of the
latter, who instantly expired. Cook was unharm-
ed Whether the discharge Of the pistol was in
territorial or not is known only TO Cook, who i'm
mediately surrendered himself to justice. Gard
ner was about 80 years of age.
The melancholy death Of the writer, aud be-
reavement of her TO whom it was addressed, give
the Poem an additional and painful interest.

Cherokee Ag:ncv. AUGUST %. 1885

= . =
GENrLEMEN;-l have received formal protest,
signed by tho Cherokee Committee now in session
under the Treaty of New Echota, in behalf of
themselves and their whole Nation, ag .ins. the
contract entered into by you, with Mr.. Lewis
Ross, for the supply of rations Of subsistence to
emigrants and their horses. on the routes to your
new country west Of the Mississippi.
The Protest contains several allegations, into
which it seems proper toenquire. Among others
are tbs following: ~
l. That tho contract under which perhaps
100000. of the money of tho Cherokees may
be expended, wns entered into without public no
lice, and consequently without any competition
whatever ;-
2. That the rations established by contract, for
persons and horses, are to be paid for at rates
which will enable tho contractor, with ordinary
cnre and ability, and acting in perfect good faith
to make the enormous profit Of more than $780,
600;
3. That there are now at this place, 4 company
Of highly respectable citizens who are ready and
des:ous to contract to supply, on the rates, the
same established rations for persons and horses
to begin the issues within six days after the date
of the agreement, aud to continue them on de-
rnand, at rates which would snve to the Nation
on II, 500 emgrants, with their $3.50 horses, al
least $lO0, ,O0O Of the sum likely to bem made BY
Mr. Lewis Ross under the contract conisrfed, up
on him, and
a. That tho per capita, under the Treaty, o.
every Cherokee who has einigrated to the West
since 1898, or who is now 70 be emigrated, vii
