Like flowers decoying not the bees,
Are verses when they fail to please;
And painfully the knowledge came,
I was not privileged 10 name
The maiden who had been to me
The teacher Of my minstresy.
She taught my heart the way to frame
II words of love the thoughts of fame;
She taught What pleasure twas to share
The slumber-iaden, moop-lit air
The first who taught my God to bound
It's winding vessels round and round;
And first she taught that there might be
\ fairer spot than Araby,
Where all the trees an odor breathe
Upon the air and where beneath
Their shade lis such a treat for those
Who're sick and heated, TO repose.
Her touch to me what the sun
l. 10 the buds he shines upon;
She taught me first twas Natures plan
TO make boy but half man,
And that it was decreed above,
He is the boy who cannot love.
oh. many a poets heart has rung
With pain or pleasure. as the tongue
sud words which gave him life and health;
The health Of hope the life of wealth,
aid words as she has said the same
Though with struggle fierce they came;
a heart is rever more to me
Re-echoed in thy minstrclsy.
Although you ever wisely frame.
Ia words that burn, the thoughts of fame
BY passions breath no more I'm moved,
cannot love as | have loved:
| care hot for land Of spice,
And regions warm. my heart is icei
| care not for the silent pain.
That racks the dreaming sleeper's brain;
] care not-no It's my delight
To haunt their weary dreams at night,
And mock with many visions feet,
Those who have languished al M feet

TROUBLE IN THE WIGwAM-By the last Indiana

the Free Sellers have received their full share Of
tie "spois of victory There is some reason in the
complaint as believe due respect should have been
paid or hereafter be paid TO the respective clements
of tina. fusion which redeemed Indiana from the old
line strengthening Democrats Party rule and
party ruin broken down by combination of the
CD position to the Nebraska swndle; and although
do not regard the Offices in the gift Of the egisla
ture as worthy quarrel between parties contending
for important principles yet common justice demands
that the influence of each party should be recogni-
zed and fair proportion of the responsible positions
in the State awarded to each.
i 1t appears that at a Of the dominant party
in the legislature, recently held Mr.. Brown, Dem
ocrat was nominated for State Agent and Mr.. Chap
man, also Democrat, for State Printer. The nomi-
nation for T. s Senator has not yet been made, but
it pretty generally conceded that the Senator is
be Wing. These IRE the only important Offices to
be filed the present session. and the Free Sellers
left BY these nominations in the back ground The
responsibility with the members of the Legisa
ture, and we have disposition to interfere, but we
must be permitted TO say that either the Agent of
State or State Printer should have been given the
Free Sellers This would have secured ought to
have secured, that harmony which is necessary to
success in the great conflict of 1856, By which great
National questions to be decided
