But, how it is cannot tell,
No sooner they are wed than thcIr

The girls, God bless them! make us yenrn
To risk all odds and take wife,
To cling to one and not to turn

Forever tied to one lone flower,

Oh, better far the bright bouquet

BY turns to harm the wind away,
And fragrance in the heart renew

From grave to gay, from light to sad,
And in my freedom wide can range,
Fret for while and then be glad.

And know that eyes glance not in vain!

Get up and try my luck again!

Of girls who're worth their weight in gold,
Can bask my.hcart in loves broad beam,
And dance to think it yet unsold;
Or can gaze upon u brow
Which mind and beauty doth enhance,
Go to the shrine and make my bow,
IND thank the Fatos have a chance!
| have no wife! and like wave,
Can float away to any land,
Curl up and kiss or gently lave,
The sweetest flowers that were athand;
A pilgrim, bend before
The shrine which heart and mind approve,
Or, Persian like, can adore
Each star that gems the heaven above.

Such things as weddings are not known;

And let fair Ilymen hence be sent!

The SEMINOLE INDIARs-IMPoRTAN IN
TELLIGENcE. - The Tallahassee Floridsan
contains letter from Gov. Broome, an
announcing the results of his mission, to
Washington in behalf of the removal of the
Indians from Florida, and enclosing cores
pondence between himself and the War De-
partment on that subject. The prospect of
the removal of the Indians by force was prob
ably never before so favorable The country
has been extensively penetrated by roads,
rendering supplies accessible-extensive boat
service has been provided for-the regular
force has been increased to 7sO men-44O
volunteers have been called for, making 1920
men in the service of the government, to
which may be added about 800 efficient vol
unteers in the service of the State making
1000 men. These, with an authority to the
officer commanding in Florida to receive
"such additional forces as may be from time
to time required" aided by the influence of
rewards for Indians captured, will, it is hoped,
prove efficient, and make the present summer
campaign eminently successful.

A TOUCHING INcIDENT.-The saddest story
that we ever read was that of little child
in Switzerland, pet boy, just as yours is,
reader, whom his mother, one bright morn
ing, rugged out in beautiful jacket, all shin
ing with silk and buttons, and gay as a moth
er's love could make it,-and then permitted
him to 90 out to play. He had scarcely
stepped from the door of the "Swiss cot
tage," when an enormous eagle scooped him
from the earth, and bore him to its nest,
high up among the mountains, and yet with
in sight of the house of which he had been
the JOY. There he was killed and devoured,
the eyrie being at point which was literal
ly inaccessible to man, so that no relief could
be afforded. In tearing the child to pieces,
the eagle SO placed the gay jacket in the nest
that it became fixture there, and whenever
the wind blew it would futter, and the sun
would shine upon its lovely trimmings and
ornaments. For years it was visible from
the low lands, long after the eagle had aban-
doned the nest What sight it must have
been to- the parents of the victim.

1t will be recollected that Louis Napoleon,
some time ago, charged commission with
the task of collecting all the correspondence
and papers Of his uncle, Napoleon the First.
The commission are hard at work, and have
already come into possession of more matter
than would fill one hundred volumes in
quarto. 1t is said that the publication of
these papers will thrown an entirely new
light upon the character and aims of the first
Napoleon. A Paris letter-writer states that

this immense correspondence: at will oblige
me to add twelve volumes of postscript to
my history" N. Y. Eve. Post.

don Review, in answer to the question,
"What is n?" says: Chemically speak
ing, man is forty-fve pounds Of carbon and
nitrogen, difused through five and half
pail-fulls of water"
In answer to the question, "What is
woman| a bachelor wag says: "Mechani-
cally speaking, woman is one hundred
pounds of flesh and blood, two pounds Of
silk, ten pounds of cotton, and one pound Of
whalebone, with an indefinite amount Of
fuss and feathers"
Theodore Parker, the somewhat unbeliev-
ing divine, taking vegetable view of man,
maintains that his "cultivation is as noble
and praiseworthy science as the cultivation
of a cabbage"
And, taking an animal view of the mat
ter, we may add that man is undoubtedly
the paragon of animals;" for he can do
what no other animal can-that is, snuff
tobacco, smoke tobacco, chew tobacco, and
after sufficient practice, swallow tobacco-juice
We do not believe that even a polecat by
any amount of practice, could overcome its
natural disgust for tobacco in any shape.

Tenth, the Peninsula has been settled
fourteen years; that is to say, some parts OF

years, but the main interest has been in the
lumber trade; the farming interest is just
beginning to be developed.
Eleventh. we should say come by land
First to Grand Rapids, thence north to
Croton, Big Rapids, Cataract, to Hirsey
Branch, eighty miles. Thus far there is a
wagon road, thence north sixty miles to Grand
Traverse on a trail. We have at present an
exploring committee on duty, whose business
it is to look out the best wagon route for a
road from this place to Muskegon river, and
we do not doubt but that, with true Yankee
enterprise, it will be built this spring or sum-
mer. We even begin to have an inkling of
a railroad. We see that the Grand Rapids
and Indiana Company are making rapid
strides toward the building Of their Road !;
we think it is destined to pierce the forest of
Northern Michigan, and we know that they
are men of the right stamp to push it ahead.
Who then will dare say we may not see the
Iron Horse come rushing through the forest
from the far off Gulf of Mexico, within five
years, and return laden with lumber, wood,
flour, white fish, and fresh trout that weigh
ten to forty pounds? Those who prefer the
water can take passage to Macklnaw, and
the propeller Stockmdn will run from here
to that place twice week; or take the pro-
peller Troy at Chicago, Grand Haven, or
Detroit, and come to Northport, on the West
Peninsula, and from there to any part of the
Bay in small boats. Thus, Mr.. Editor if /

Was beautiful as good;

Perhaps he's there tonight.

Recently family of emigrants from near
Coldwater Mich, started for Kansas. AT
ST. Louis the father went, in company with
some friends, to visit a place of amusement,
and left them to return to his hotel which he
never reached. His wife remained with the
family several days, but was unable to learn
any trace of him and started to return home,
Near Sturgis the constant thought of her
calamity bereft her of reason, and throwing
what money she had into the lap of her
youngest child, she precipitated herself un-
der the cars, and was instantly killed.

AN UNEXPECTED REoUEsT.-An amusing
story is current in Paris in regard to the late
birth Of the young Prince. While the un-
fortunate mother was in those agonies of
childbirth to which Expresses are as liable
as peasants, she begged to have the prayers
of the gentlemen in the next room for her
speedy deliverance. These gentlemen were
various Ministers of State, officers of the
household, and other hardened old sinners,
whose ideas of prayer had become somewhat
rusty through long disuse. When the at
tendant brought in the request, they stared
at each other in blank astonishment, but not
soul of them knew how to 90 about it
except Fould, Jew banker, and minister of
the household. He alone, Israelite as he is,
knelt solemnly on priedieu, before the i'm
age Of the Virgin Mary, and fervently put
up the required prayer

retary of the Interior has directed the office
at Danville to be closed, and the archives to
be handed over to Springfield, at which place
the only remaining land office in the State is
now in operation. The land throughout ILL
nois having been so rapidly taken up during
the last twelve months as to render necessary
the closing of all the offices excepting that
at Springfield, the seat Of government, nine
offices during the period above named have
been discontinued. Patents remaining un-

The PANAMA DIFFIcULTIEs.-Congress has
taken hold of the Panama difficulties with the
right spirit. The House Committee on For
eign Relations have had the matter under
consideration, and contemplate some measure
Of Legislative cooperation with the Execu-
tive to prevent the recurrence of difficulty
upon the 1sthmus. 1t is said that Mr.. Pen
nington proposes the enactment of a law
which shall give the Consuls of the United
States at Panama and Aspinwall, with the
consent of the government of New Granada,
the same power to summarily try and punish
American citizens for violations of the law at
these ports, as is conferred on American Con-
suls in China and Turkey. The object Of
this is to prevent recurrence of the late
dreadful scenes at Panama, by placing in the
hands of the Consuls the power to restrain
our own lawless passengers from committing
depredatons upon the people OF the lsthmus,
and to assure the natives Of that region that
any wrong they may suffer at the hands Of
turbulent and lawless passengers will be re-
dressed, and thus prevent them from taking
the law into their own hands. The PROPOSE
ton is that the President be authorized, with
the consent of New Granada, (or without
such consent, if it be refused, and as mat
ter Of absolute necessity to station an effici-
ent corps of mariners or other armed police,
at Panama and Aspinwall, to guard Ameri-
can citizens and property in transit from any
and all outrage. These measures certainly
seem to be eminently wise and proper; and
it is to be hoped the views of the Hon. Chair
man of the Committee on Foreign Relations
will be promptly carried into effect.
