kSNSH AAss~
When the hours of day are Numbered,
And the voices Of the night
Wake the better soul that slumbereds
To a holy calm delight;
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, ike phantoms grim and tall,
Shadows from the ltful flreligh',
Dance upon the parlor wall;
Then the forms or Of the departed
Enter at the open door,
The beloved, the true-heartcd,
Come to visit me once more.
He the young, and strong, who cherished
Noble longing for the strife,
By the roadside fell and persisted,
Weary with the march Of life.
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross OF suffering boro,
Folded their pale hands so neekly,
Spoke with US Oh earth no more.
And with them the being baauteouS,
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else To- love M,
And is now a saint In heaven;
With slow and noise less fOo;s,rp,
Comes the messengers divine,
Take the vacant chair beside me,
Lays her gentle hand In mine.
And she sits and sazes at me,
With those deep AMI tender eyes.
Like the stars, so still and saint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered moi, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits voiceless prayer,
Soft rebukes, In blessings ended,
B.ea hing from her lip, Of air.
o, though oft depressed and lonely,
All my fears are laid aside,
II but remember only,
Such as these have lived and died.

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 8, 1854.
Winnebaso Troubles.


The restless Winnebagoes will not remain
eontented anywhere on earth and even IL they
we're disposed to, the reckless and criminal
whisky sellers who haunt them wherever they
NAV turn, with all the perseverance the demon
did Faust. will not let them. A payment was
recently attempted by Agent Fletcher at wa
tab. but before he got half through, the whisky
dealers had the upper hand of the Indians, and
thew became drunk and quarrelsome. One of
the Chiefs fred shot at the Agent, whereupon
he very properly discontinued the payment
until such time as the Indians became sober.
We understand from Mr.. Hatch, who came
down from Watab on Thursday evening. that
the better disposed citizens of that vicinity as
sembled few days since, took possession Of all
the whisky they could find, and put the vend-
ers thereof through course of summary treat
ment. although nothing like lynching was al
lowed to take place. This is the natural con-
sequence in all frontier communities where ju'
Eies do not come up to the work in time.
