Perhaps his farm has come down to him
from his fathers. They have gone to their
last home but he can trace their footsteps
over the scenes of their daily labors. The
roof which shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some interesting
domestic tradition is connected with every en-
closure. The favorite fruit tree was planted
by his fathers hand. He sported in his boy

of an owner of the soil-words cannot paint

of the deepest fountains of the heart; they are
the life-spring of fresh, healthy, and gener-

POET-DREASlS.
BY F. G. H.

BY F. G. H.
AT midnight, IN his cottage small,
The bard was dreaming of the times
When cheerily from camp and hall
Rang out the minstrels rhymes
In dreams through courtly scenes he royed,
In dreams royal mistress loved,
In dreams he clasped her as his BRIDE
Then revelled at the board of kings,
Bedecked with ribbons, stars, and rings,
And ever woke his harp's wild strings
To notes of JOY and prideR
At midnia1 iastha.coaTAgsaG 9th,
Tie shcfl ran5e "a i agc eand,
Following their game up to the death,
With murderous notes of handi
There was the draper, trim and neat,
There was the burly man of meat,
Landlords, and tailors four
Bound on an errand all unblest,
Like envious cranes met to molest
With their LONG BILLS, sky -lark's nest,
They thronged the poets door.
An hour passed on. The bard awoke,-
That poet-dream was past
He wakened to a cry of fear
Of''Hide dear Tom, the sheriff s here" "
He woke to find himself safe hid
Beneath a meal-chest's friendly lid
To mutter sAcREs, fierce and fast,
On baffled foes that round him crowd -
And hear in accents sharp and loud,
Theesherif cheer his band
Search till each closet is explored
Search, landlord for thy, bill of board
Search for the wines against him scored
And, tailors, lend hand"
They sought like Shylocks, long and hard,
Around, beneath, and overhead
But vainly aIl-they left the bard
Snug in his mealy bed
Then his indignant Susan saw
Those shameless wreckers of the law
Had nabbed his Sunday coat
She saw the fearful look he wore,
As then and there he roundly swore
To leave his thankless native shore
Upon that mornings boat!

The THREE New TERR1ToRIEs.-Som time
ago we mentioned that the national admlnls-
tration had framed plan for organizing three
new territorial governments in the Indian
country South of Kansas, to consist seyerally
of the countries of the Cherokees i'll one ter
ritorv, the Creeks in another, and the Choc-
taws and ChicEasaws in third. This plan,
it was stated on the authority OF person who
had lust arrived from the Chickasaw nation,
had been sent out to be canvassed by the
tribes concerned, and who, under 1t, were to
be constituted citizens of the United States.
At the last session of the Senate bill was
presented by Mr.. Johnson Of Arkansas, which
embodied the features of this scheme, and
which, though it was not acted on, will prob
ably form a subject of discussion at Washing
ton next winter. This bill proposes, with
the assent of the tribes named 10 extend over
them the constitution and laws of the Union,
and to organize three territories, of which the
Indians are to be recognized as citizens. The
title of the first of these will be Chel-o-kee,
and will include the Cherokees, Osages, Sem
ecas, Shawnees, aud Quapaws. The title of
the second is to be Muscogee, and it will in
clude the Creek and Seminole tribes and the
third is named Chah-ta, and will include the
Choctaws and Chickasaws. 1t seems proba-
BILE that action was only delayed upon this
scheme in Congress in order to allow time to
secure the consent of all the tribes designated.
Efforts are now being made to this end, and
possibly the next session Of Congress will wit
ness the passage of the BILL Philadelphia N.
american.
We understand that most of these tribes
are shareholders to greater or less extent,
and that it is expected in this way, to add
three more Slave States to the Union.
