My own sweet Wife ard I.

This worlds for me world Of pain,
And trials thickly sirew it;
A greater share Of loss than gain
Most find in passing through it.
But wherefore at our lot repinc!
To-day the storm sweeps by,
To-morrow's sun we trust will shine
My own sweet wife and l.
Two years and more have we been wed,
And dark has been the weather;
Yet never lacked We daily bread,
Nor comfort when together.
We walk, perhaps, while others ride,
Yet laugh while others sigh,
And lift our heads in honest pride
My own sweet wife and /.
My cheek to thine has oft been prest,
My true, my own sweet dove;
And each the other still hath bless'd
With uncomplaining love.
True loves blessing evermore,
Riches take wings and fly;
We pine not for the misers store
My own sweet wife and 1.
Then let the world 60 as it will,
Still hopefully well try,
If not our purse with gold to fill,
To gild our home with joy.
And when the eve of life comes on,
Resting our hope On high,
We shall not rue the moments gone

Progress Of Indian Dlffl,ultl.s

There still remains much doubt about the
extent Of the hostile feeling among the Inlf
ans. BY Gen Palmcr's letter, published
last Saturday, it is stated that the chief Of
the Wascos reports that proposals have been
made to oil the tribes cast Of the Cascades
TO unite in a general war for exterminathg
the whites, but that many refuse to enter an
alliance to fight the Americans. And yet
among nearly al the tribes are found some
restless spirits, ready to join in a general
war. The Yakimas seem well united IN .
feeling of hostility. The Clikitats are diVt
ded.
All sorts Of Indian tales Of wrongs are
reported to induce war spirit, and threats
OF hostility made against such tribes as viii
not join the Yakimas.
Those best acquainted with the Indian
character, are disposed to think that dlsai-
lection has been so widely diffused, that ope
flush Of victory on the part Of the Indians
in contest with the United States troops
would induce nearly all the tribes to uniteiu
general war. Hence much anxiety is now
felt in the result Of Haller's expedition
against them. We are satisfied that unless
the Indians have greatly the advantage in
position, that his troops will be enabled to
rout the Yakimas. We regret, however,
that his command had not been increased e
about $50 men, half Of whom should have
been mounted. He then would have been
able to make a demonstration so formidable,
as to have appalled, the Indians in the first
attack, and followed them so closely and 50
effectually, that they would gladly have
yielded ali hopes Of success against TIE
whites.
The officers employed in the Indian de-
partment fof Oregon and Washington seem
disposed to do their utmost to prevent a ruP-
ture with these northern tribes Of Indians,
and to prevent their alliance with the Yak
mas. Great credit is due them for Their
prompt and vigiant action.-orrsna Stand
