The MIAMI ISDrASs.-A company of Unu.d
States troops have arrived at Peru, to force m.
removal OF the Indians. We have conversed with
several who are well informed upon the subisr,
and it is their opinion that no force will be REQUIRED
to act, to induce the Indians to come in, though m,
presence of the troops on the canal may faeiIitos
their so doing. The Indians must soon see the f..
Iy of refusing to fulfil their reaty-stpulatons, and
Of contending with the government. They have no
doubt been induced to attempt this from the adyc,
of few disappointed traders, who expect to thai,
coerce the government to pay their claims against
the Indians-.Ma-i0n (Indianal Democrat, Oct 3.

THE MINNEAPOLIS.

We understand that treaty was concluded at a
late hour this day, with the Winnebago delegation,
by which they cede their lands IN Iowa to the gov,
eminent of the United States. The precise terms OF
the arrangement have not reached us; and, indeed
treaties are generally secret documents until they
have been ratified. The Winnebagoes will have a
formal audience with their Great Father, the Presi-
dent of the United States, before they leave the
CITY.

CHILDREN.
BY MRS. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE.

One cold market morning, l looked into
miIliner's shop, and there saw hale,
hearty, well-browned young fellow from
the country, with his long cartswhip, and
a lion'shag coat, holding up some little
NATTER and turning it about on his great
fist. And what do you suppose it was?-
A baby's bonnet! A little soft, blue, satin
hood, with swan's-down border, white as
the new-iallen snow, with frlll Of rich
blonde around the edge. ao
By his side stood very pretty woman,
holding with no small pride the baby--for
evidently it was the baby. Any one could
read that fact in every glance, as they look
ed at each other, and the little hood, and
then at the large blue unconscious eyes,
and fat dimpled cheeks of the little one. 1.

CHARITY.


Keen blows December's whistling blast
The gloom of eve is thickening fast,
And fast comes down the snow!
Oh! whittier shall the friendless fly
For refuge from an angry sky,
TO shield them here below!
Bereft of every stay but Heaven
From home from friends from kindred driv'n
From every dearest lie;
How many loving pair brought low,
TO drink the cup of bitter woe
In beggary to sigh.
No fault of theirs--some link that broke
In credits chain, some sudden stroke
BY fraud--by malice hurled,
A sweeping flood. devouring flame,
Or some harsh agent pouncing came,
And cast them on the world.
Let wild ambitions hirelings call
His minions to profusion's hall,
10 squander wealth away;
Seduction sap, corruption bribe,
Some wretch amid the vcnal tribe,
His country 10 betray.
But thou TO whom pro,itious Heaven,
A heart to feel and wealth has given, =.
Thy suffering brother save,
The good Samaritan he found,
Pour balm into the travellers wound,
That journeys TO the grave.
Be ears unto the deaf, and find
A lamp TO guide the stumbling blind,
In darkness left forlorn; j,r3
The paralytic prop; and be .l1s
The friend to set the prisoner free,
BY long confinement worn.
The naked clothe, the hungry feed;
BY Heaven revealed, it is decreed,
+ A cup of water given
If given to please the God Of love-
Brings down blessing from above,
Is registered in Heaven.
The shipwrecked mariner console,
BY tempest tost from pole to pole,
And pIundered on thy shores,
Who, far from country, far away
From every friend, from every stay,
Thy sympathy implores. t2- |
All are thy brethren, all, like thee,
Composed of dust, but hope to see
The Lord of Earth and Heaven;
The blessings here TO them denied,
Forever lost fA.'ssnkless pride,
VII! there to isem be given.
The great accounting day will come,
When every faiihless steward dumb,
Must feel compunction's thorn,
And weeping angels shall behold
How cursed lust of damning gold
Provoke's Jehovah's scorn. 4o

When Freedom from her mountain height
Uniurled her standard to the air
She tore the azure robe of night
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dies
The milky baliric of the skies,
And striped its pnre celestial white
With streakings of the morning light;
Then from his mansion in the suu
She called her eagle bearer town,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chos N band
Majestic monarch of the cloud
Why rcar'st aloft thy regal form,

And sec the lightning lanccs driven
when strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder drum of heaven.

To guard the banner of the free
To hover in The sulphur smoke
To ward away the battle stoke,
And bid its blendings shine affair,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers OF victory!
Flag OF the brave thy folds shall fly,
The sign of home and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet Tone
And the long line comes cleaning on
Ere yet the life-blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed The glistening bayonet,

And his sPringing steps advance,

Like shoots of fame on midnights pal
