MISS Caroline cum and whispered some

The Squire went through the balance of

70 me and Rugged me and kissed me as hard
as she could rite afore 'em all, while the old
codgers in the room was salutin the bride as
they called it. Idid'nt like that part of the
ceremony at all, and wanted TO change with

Alter the marryin was over we all tuck sup

for a time unpopular; the owners of slaves
considering him inimical TO their interests
Though his exertions in this phlanlhropic
cause proved unavailing,yet he has ever adj
hered TO the principals he then avowed, and
endeavored TO carry them out through the
means ofthe Colonization Society, of which
he was one of the principal founders. and has
been, since the death ofvenerable Chief JUS

and has ever been, to dojustice to the blacks
but not injustice TO the whites.

not say farewell-the door swung upon its
heavy hinges, and they parted forever No,
not forever. Is there no heaven?
Sand one-o'er myrtle showers,
Its leaves by 81 winds famed;
She faded, mids Italian flowers
The last of tb fair band.n
Twas in the la,s~ OF Italy-it was the
gorgeous time of sunset in Italy-what
magnificent scenei A pale emaciated girl
laid upon her bed of death. Oh! was IT
hard for her TO die, far from her home, in
this beautiful land, where flowers bloom
perennial and the blamy air comes freshly to
the pining soul. Oh! no-her star had set;
the brightness of her dream had faded; her
heart was broken. When ties have been
formed ON earth, close, burning ties, what is
more heart-rendering and agonizing to the
spirit, than to find at last the beloved one is
snatcbed away, and all our love is given to
"passing flowers" Enough she died the
hetrothed of Robert Emmett, the lovely FL
len Curran. Italy contains her last remains
Its flowers breathe their fragrance over her
grave, and the lulling tones of the sheperd's
lutte sound requiem to her memory.

WABASH AND ERIE CANAL.

Our attention has lately been called to a
memorial 10 Congress in circulation here
praying for a grant of land TO continue the
Wabash and Erie canal lrom the Feeder Dam
on Eel river to Evansville on the Ohio and
we must confess that we have been struck
with some ofzthe details, and forcibly i'm
pressed with the great Importance of the
work, not only in national point Of view, but
as itregards the future interests of Indiana.
1t apPears from the memorial thai the State
has already expended on the work S5I7,092
that the heaviest part of the work, viz: on
the embankment on White river and the deep
cutting on Patoca have been nearly finished
that twenty miles of the canal from Evans
vile TO the feeder dam on Pigeon Greek are
finished, and that but little over million of
dollars will complete the woTk-making an
internal communication from Toledo on the
Maumee Bay to Evansville on the Ohio NV
er. distance of about frs hundred and fifty
miles, presenting one of the cheapest aud
most Direct routes from the Lakes to the VAL
ley of the Mississippi which can be made
that in the Vincennes Land District, from
which grant of land is preyed, the lands
have been subject to sale since March 1904,
POiiOo u enTty-StL yc0fS anu ttldt tueIo
yet remained unsold IN that Land District
l ,635, l34 73-I00 acres, and that OF this
Iquanty of land only $l6,253 in value were
sold the year ending September 30th IS43
and beginning Sept. Both 1912, yielding TO
the government only about Sl4, 900 for the
years sale
We add to the above statements of the
memorial, another fact which, as it regards
the interests ofthe State of Indiana, we deem
of the utmost importance, that is,-the fact
that when the work is completed We believe
the tolls will go very far towards The pay
ment of the interest of the State debt, if they
do not entirely extinguish it. The canal
completed from the Lake to the Ohio, and
we believe it will yield an annual revenue
equal at least to S590,O00. In every point
of view this great interest recommends itself
to the attention and earnest efforts of all our
citizens, and we call on the members of the
General Assembly, on our private citizens
and especially Dur = Congress 70
lspeak In an earr~ss tone in behalf Of the ~
ljects of The memorial.

which supports the feebleness of humanity !:
LET him but think moment, and his heart
will arrest the cruelty of his purpose. Would
he pluck ifs little treasure from the bosom of
poverty? WoulJ he wrest its crutch from The
hand of age. and remove from the eye olaf
Fiction tie solace of IFS woe? Tue way we
tread is rugged, at best; we tread i, however,
lighter by The prospect of the better country
to which, we trust, it will lead. ellus not

or break off in some wild, which fancy may

and illumined the darkness of suffering vis-

MUSICAL INTELL1eENcE,-Signor Antognini,
whose competency for the task is indlsputable,
will, we learn, shortly publish volume of muslcaI
treasure, to be called the Musical Album. The
Signor's object is to furnish to the musical public
chsice selection Of the most admired pieces Of the
Italian and other masters, the greatest being
taken to exclude all compositions not possessed Of
first rate merit. This will be desirable object to
accomplish, for it is too true that the majority OF
musical works are got up to sell-not to satisfy a
cultivated taste, and bear their greatest Seauty on
their embelllshed ttle-page. We think the Signor's
enterPrire will be encouraged. fe- .~~ have great
confidence in the powers of good music.
