SLErGHISo.-The following from the Boston
Post gives an idea of how the people of the Getty
of notions,' s up the time at this season of the
year. The same may be said Of St. Paul just
about now: F nc e.fr8 fra7 ~
The even street is trodden hard, and the
sleighs all glide along, when the bells upon the
bracing air give forth their cheerful
song, the fastest crabs and slowest drabs are
all awake for fun, and DER the snow, If fast or
slow, the ready runners run. And parties of the
beautiful, and parties Of the gay. fash on the
eye like visions-like visions pass away; and
jolly boys with fun and noise dash on and moth
ing reck, yexing and straining 'Aesh' to be ahead
upon the Neck; and tender pairs, try winters airs
their cheeks with health aglow, and laugh at chis
and frosty ills, beneath the buffalo. Tits . rcu-
sing season and blood grows warm apsce We
wish to Join the merry bout and try the striving
race. But one thought now obrudes itself with
interference rude; many there be who 60 to
sleigh who full as oft get slewed." s.s =.

MONDAY. FEB. l8, 1856.
M. 4 N. w. H. r. CO.

Every person in Minnesota is in favor Of the
speedy construction Of railroad TO the States
connecting us with that immense net work Of
roads that embraces within its iron arms most
of the eastern portion of our continent. 1t is
thought that the paying prospect Of such a road
is not at the present time sufficient t. induce
capital to construct t-therefore We desire such
aid from the General Government as shall not
cost it one dollar, but be amply sufficient to
warrant the construction Of the road. Such aid
we had secured, and it was impossible for any
one to regret more than ourselves the altera-
ton Of the bill granting lands to this Territory
to aid in accomplishing that object because of
the hasty and inconsiderate action which it in
duced Congress to take upon the matter in
which the stunning blow leveled the Compa-
ny fell upon our blameless heads; and most
heartily did we berate those whom we suppos-
ed to be particeps criminis to that fraud. We
say the action of Congress was hasty and in
considerate because j, was designed to kill the
railroad company, (whom it was represented
had procured the aterat;on) and not to injure
its ward the Territory. 1t did not kill the
Company-to have produced that result it was
only necessary TO repeal the charter Of the
Company, which was power reserved by the
organic act Of our Territory to Congress.
We believe the Company had some inau-
ence in procuring the grant, and that they still
have some influence and friends in Congress.
Ii then it is designed or hoped TO get Con-
gross to repeal the act, repeating the grant and
thus right the wrong done the Territory and
end litigation, the best thing we could do was
to conciliate the Company by giving an extern
sion Of time and thus secure its aid, for then,
even, its life is in the hands Of Congress-; and
after renewal of the grant to the Territory,it
may if justice or reason dictate, repeal the act
of our Leglature giving further time to the
company TO construct the road and thus end its
days. - .-...-. .-... m-s .,t.
But if as the company now declares thatne
ther directly or indirectly. did it make, coun-
tenance or advise to be made, the alteration Of
the original bill. and if Congress shall think
that it has fair and just charter. we see no
reason why it may not be permitted to construct
the road.

There has lately been All unusually large
number Of Circassians going about the streets
OF Constantnople. Many Of them, no doubt,
belonged 10 the aeputation which canlc to pc
titlon the Porte that their country might bio
taken under the suzerainety of the s'ultnh. "a
considerable portion, however, Of the Circas-
slams now in the capital have quite another
mission than q political one to fulfill. They
are here as slave dealers, charged with the dis
posal OF the numerous parcels OF Circaasian
girls that haye for some time been pouring
into this market. Perceiving that, when the
Russians sllall haVe re-occupied the coust of
the Caucasus, this traffic in white slaves will
be over, the Circassian dealers have redoubled
their efforts, ever since tho commencement Of
the peace conferences, to introduce into Turkey
the greatest possible number Of women while
the opportunity Of doing so lasted. They hnye
been SO successful, Notwithstanding Tic prohi-
bition of the trade by the Porte, anfl the pre-
senco Of so many Of her Majesty's ships in the
Black Sen, that never, perhaps, at my former
period, was white human flesh so cheap as it
is at this moments
There is IN absolute glut III the markst, and
dealers are obliged to throw away theif y0ods,

Tokens Of ths Dead By Mas. NEAL.

Tokens Of the Dead By MRs. NEAL.
The nursery was darkened,
: Though soft the sunlight fell,
And there were trifles gathered
That mothers love so we'll
Playthings upon the carpet,
= And dainty little shoes, 'el E
With snow-white caps and dresses,
That seemed too fair to use.
A lady stood before them,
And yet no look Of joy 2fis
Shone from the eyes bent forward
To gnidc her sweet employ; a
She gathered ul the laees,
But tears were trembling there, ~
And they had dimmed the brightness
Of robes once purely fair.
The halEworn shoe she presses
Close in conyulsive grasp;
The rich wrought eopl trembles
Within aswild a clasp. 4.,S.. x
Well may the house be darkened, @
Well may the lady weep
The little couch is empty, "
The child wakes not from sleep.
And soon these grateful tokens
Her hands must lay aside,
Which each recalls sonic memory s9s s5
4 OF love, and hope, and pride. y
Too fair had been the flower
That faded in the spring,
And fondly to her darling
A mothers heart will cling.
Family as some soft echo,
That low, caressing note, ''4
So oft her childs glad welcome a rs.
Around her seemed to float. a,N .-4
All, no! the dreary silence y. st
. With keener pang was felt, .,..
And by the couch deserted
In agony she knelt. N
Peace come to thee, young mother!
Peace to thy bursting heart!
Now even while ita throbbings
Seem rending II apart! H a
II is true, Deaths kiss fell coldly
Upon thy child's fair brow, a sl
But o'ert thy pathway daily .s..
An angel watches now!
