ordinary Insurance, for while risks against fire
or water may or may not result in loss to the
insurer, or the loss may be total or partial,
life must sooner or later cease to exist, and the

rance is not founded on speculation, but lis
principles are based upon sound mathematical
calculations, which have been tested for a long
series of years, both in this Country and in
Europe and admit of no variation. It's utility

THE PEASANTS SONG OF WINTER

BY JAMES LINEN.
Autum has fed, and winter is come,
The groves are mute and the birds are dumb;
The winds are cold and the skies are gray,
And the weary sun makes short the day.
And the gushing streams and tiny rills,
That danced and leaped down the rugged hills,
And meandered through the withered plains,
Are bound by fetters of icy chains.
Like fragfants of robes that seraphs wear,
Now the fieecy snow flakes fill the air;
And the crispy earth is wrapt in white,
And the moon and stars lend not their light.
But SHOWS may drift and the clouds may scowl,
The hail may beat ana the tempest howl,
TnCy bring not want to the PEASANTS door,
Whose thrift has garnered his winter store.
All the JOY he feels no tongue may tell,
For love and peace in his cottage dwell;
And he scorns the slave of base desires,
And he lives as lived his honest sires
Though trees are striped of their leufy plumes,
And the gardens glow no more with blooms,
Oh, the little snow drop. sweetly chaste,
Will blossm soon on the hoary waste
Warm suns will shine, and the soft winds blow,
And rivers swell with melting snow,
And the daises soon again be seen,
And the teeming filcds be clothed in green.
Dead nature into.ife will spring,
The orchard bloom and the cky-lark sing;
While the swallows back again viii come,
And the woodlands be no longer dumb.
The bees will steal rom their tlositered cells,
To gather sweets from the cups and bells,
And the bleating mountains joyful be,
When Nature is set from winter free.
So the changing seasons come and go,
While the springs ofIife still onward flow;
A nd faith and hope cheer the PEASANTS end,
When the chilling dews Of death descend.
He knows, when his earthly race is run,
That the golden prize of life is won;
He goes to better land than this,
To traverse fields of eternal bliss

INTERESTING FROM FLoRIDA.-Intelligence of
undoubted authenticity, says the National Intel
igencer, has been received here OF the refusal of
the Seminole Indians remaining in Florida TO
emigrate to the country assigned to them west
of the Mississippi. The agreement to emigrate
made by their chief, Billy Bowlegs, when here
In Washington, they refuse TO ratify, influenced,
as we understand, chiefly by the advice of Sam
Jones and Billy Bowlegs only sister, who has a
great consideration with the tribe. Billy him
self is believed to have been well disposed to
comply with his promise, and held out several
weeks, but the other Seminoles, having taken
away his two wives and their children, and
threatened to annul his tribal authority at length
forced him to yield 10 their views. On restoring
his favorite wife-the first-he dashed deep into
the everglades, and has not since been heard from.
The excitement in Florida is of course very great.
We understand that regiment of the famous
"Cowboys" or 'Crackers' is in rapid course of
formation, to act under the authority of the
State.
