I'm Thinking Of a lOTly bed.

I'm thinking of lowly bed
In some lone, quiet spot,
Where with the cold earth meath my head
III rest, by all forgot.
I'm thinking that little while
A md all now hold dear,
vii! vanish from me like the smile
That flies betore the tear.
And could calmly say farewell,
To earth, though bright it seems.
And not sigh my heart should tell,
Ger dying hopes, or fading dreams,
Could but know that there was still
On earth, one being, round Whose heart
"Swee, memories" of me would twlnc,
'TlI reunited, meier to part.

this moment there was movement IN the

every one appeared instinctively to glvewsy
was seen passing up the aisle. This was
not observed by Delaney, until she had come
nearly in front of the platform on which he
stood. Then the movement caught his ear,
and lifting his eyes, they instantly fell on

The Raindeer arrived this, Saturday at.

ces OF a very important character. e

on their voyage round TO Oregon. .ae
Capt. Turner of the Regiment has return-
edin The Raindeer, bringing Dispatches
from Mr.. Wise, our Minister 10 this Govern
ment. s-rsse19 So F., e..
A very serious difficulty had arisen be-
tween the Brazilian Government and Mr..
Wise in relation TO some American Sailors
who had been Imprisoned al Rio and whose
release was demanded by Mr.. Wise.
The Brazilian Government refused, and
has requested the United States 10 recall
MIR. Wise, and also had applied 10 Goyern-
ment 10 recall Commodore Rosseau, of lie
American Squadron on thai station.
IN consequence of these proceedings, the
Upper House of the Brazilian Parliament
had voted the expulsion of Rosseau from
the country, giving him only six hours notice
10 leave. ss s~
This bill was defeated in the lower House
whereupon manymembers ofthe upper House
resigned the- seats, in the midst of great ex-
element.
In consequence of this difficulty MIR. Wise
had refused all intercourse with the Brazilian
Government, on the occasion of the Baptism
of the Infant, Princess Isabella. ,ra aia
He also refused TO illuminate on that fes-
tval in common with Diplomatic Agents of
Foreign Comments, and Commodore Ros-
seau had refused 10 fire any salute.
| The presence of the California Regiment
was great support TO Mr.. Wise, and strength
ened him in the firm stand he took against
the Brazilian Government. -9a as72

may cause rupture between the two Gov
ernments. s aa ee-9 cess
