WHAT Is SOLITUDE!

Not in the shadowy wood,
Not in the crag-hung glen,
Not where the echoes brood
In caves untrod by men;
Not by the bleak seashore,
Where barren surges break,
Not on the mountain hoar,
Not by the breazeless lake;
Not on the desert plain
Where man hath never stood,
Whether on isle or main
Not there is Solitude!
Birds are in the woodland bowers;
Voices IN lonely deIIsi
Streams to the listening hours
Talk in earth's secret cells;
Over the gray-Dibbd sand
Breathe Ocern's frothy lips;
Over the still lakes strand
The wild flower toward it dips,
PIumiHg the m)untain's crest
Lie to,ses in its pines,
Cour,irg the deserts breast
Lille in the Slprd's mane shines.
Leave if lhou wouldst he lonely
Leave nature for the crowd;
Seek .hprp To-, oAe--nAe on y
With kindred mind pndow'd!
Thrre-as with Nature erst
Closely thou woud-t commune
The deep souI-mu-ic n'nsed
[n either heart, aItuNt!
Heart. wealied thou wilt own,
Vainly that phantom wooed,
That thou at last hast known
What is true Solitude! ...s

the breath life in me, hope shall be willing to
90 as FAR as any in making any sacrifice to render
that war successful and glorious. | can say no
more. But, till notice is given, am not prepared
TO vote any preliminary measure Of military kind
| suppose, however, that we may. without giving
notice, extend our laws and our protection to our
brethren who have settled at least in that part Of
Oregon which is not claimed by Great Britain but
there can be no need Of increasing our army and
our navy in order 10 do that. | hope that such an
act will not be offensive to Great Britain, and that
she will not think Of going to war about it,
But, II we are going 10 take actual occupation OF
the country, then some additional force will be
needed to our army; aud in that case, however I'M
willing have been to increase our military es-
adjustment. | think should get over my difficult
ties especially il disposition should be manifested
by Great Britain, to take offence at the measure
have just mentioned All our military preparations
must depend on notice to Great Britain we must
not have our hands and feet bound the obligations
Of joint occupancy must be dissolved, and we left
free to act, according the interests of our coun-
try may require

10 any other part Of this subject There have been
as | understand, two applications made to this
House, by fellow citizens Of ours settled beyond
the Rocky Mountains, for the protection of this
Government The Chairman OF the Committee on
Foreign Affairs (Mr c. J. Tngerso) presented, as
think, one memorial; while another, from differ
ent quarter, is also before the Territorial Commit

MORALS, from different persons.
MIR Adams. think ii is time this House should
consider what are our duties to our countrymen
there. | confess that know them very imperfect
y. have, of course, seen the reports of Lieuten-
ants Wilkes and Fremont they contain much val
liable information but that sort OF information
which we now want, it was not the object of those
expeditions to obtain. | am in favor Of protecting
these persons, as far we can.
believe have now said all that is at present
necessary. have said perhaps more than should
and certainly more than intended am not able
TO 60 further. The most important point wished
TO state is, that TO give notice should be our first
measure. Then let US protect our emigrating citi-
zens, and our own frontier by stockade forts and
such an increase Of our military establishment as
may be necessary but am against all other meas.
ures unless that is done first.

Mr. Editor Il send you a copy of letter, which
was written by Mrs. f. w (now Mrs Y, be-
lieve, and sent with present of pair ofbue-mixed
wooden stockings, to her cousin, Judge w. on the
eve of his marriage. l believe it has never been
published, and being, to say the least. very in
genious thing, you may wish to publish it in your
valuable paper =
Troy FEMALE SEMINARY, Dec. 10, 1929.
Dear Cousn,-Herewith you will receive pres
ent of pair of wooden stockings, knit by my own
hands; and be assured, dear coz, that my friend
ship for you is as warm as the material active as
the finger work, and as generous the donation.
But | consider this present as peculiarly appro-
pirate on the occasion Of your marriage. You will
remark, in the first place, that there are two nd-
yiduas united in one pair, who to walk side by
side, guarding against GOODNESS, and giving comfort
as long they last. The thread oftheir texture is
mired, and so, alas is the thread of life In these
however, the chite is made to predominant, express
sing my desire and confidence that thus it will be
with the color of your existence. No black is used
for believe your lives will be wholly free from the
black passions of wrath and jealousy. The dark
est color here is JHe, which is excellent, where we
do not make it too blue
Other appropriate thoughts rise to my mind in
regarding these stockings. The most Indifferent
subjects, when viewed be the mind in a suitable
frame, furnish instructive nerences. As saith the
poet,
"The iron dogs, the peel and tongs,
The bellows that have leathem lungs,
The frewood ashes and the smoke,
Do all to righteousness provoke"
But to the subject. You will perceive that the
tops of these stockings (by which suppose court
ship to be represented) scanned and by means of
scanning, are drawn into snarl but afterwards
comes time when the whole is made plain, and
continues so to the end and final toeiRg off, By
this, wish TO take occasion to congratulate you
that you are now through with seeming and have
come TO plain reality. Again, as the whole of
these comely stockings were not made at once but
by the addition Of one little stitch after another,
put in with skill and discretion, until The whole
presents the fair and equal piece of work which
you see so, life does not consist of one great
action, but millions of little ones combined and so
may it be with your lives, no stitch dropt when du-
ties are to be performed; no Widening made, where
bad principles are to be reproved or economy is to
be preserved; neither seeming nor narrOloiRg where
truth and generosity are in question; thus every
stitch of life made right and set in the right place.
none either too large too small. too tight or too
loose, thus may you keep on your smooth and even
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1846-01-22
