TIE FLORIDA INDrANs-It has recently been
stated that the Government had adopted plans for
the peaceful removal Of these India,s, Recent
adVices, however, from Florida, indicate that the
Red Men are as treacberou5 as usual, and seem
very little, if aay, inclined to comply with their of
repeated promises to remove from the State. A

announced that he had the child, and that
it was still alive. They were brought on
board-the dog and the child.
Giving a single glance to satisfy herself
that the child was really living, the young
mother rushed forward, and sinking be-
side the dog. threw her arms around his
neck and burst into tears. Not many
could view the sight u%nmoved, and as she
caressed and kissed his shaggy head, she
looked up to his owner and said

The gentleman smiled, and patting his
dogs head, said, 4 am very glad, madam,
he has been Of service to you, but nothing
in the world can induce me to part with
him.
The dog looked as though he perfectly
understood what they were talking about

Little Lectures for Little Folks.

A daguerrean artist came to our little vii
lage q few days since, and hung out his
sign in the most conspicuous place. Of
course he was the general topic for the time
being. The burden of conversation in the
village was, Are you going to have your
daguerreotype taken ?" "Haye you had
til" "When are you going to sit for your
miniature 2" etc.
In consequence, all the little folks were
on tiptoe to have their pictures taken.
One sensible mother made it the opportu'
nifty of impressing her children's minds
with lessons of lifelong Importance, by say
ing, " shall be glad to get your daguerreo-
types, nay dears, but l wish for another pic
ture taken by myself, one for which you are
unconsciously sitting every day. 1t is your
picture in my heart. Now you wish me to
curl your hair and put on your most becom-
ing holyday attire, and you will no doubt
look your best when you sit for the artist to
take your miniature. No frowns on your
brow, no pout on your lip, no angry glance
in your eye, no discomfort on your counter
ance, | dare say.
"And do you wish that a shadow, a da'
guerreotype that may be easily lost, broken.
or in many ways destroyed-do you wish
that that shall be more lively than the pic
ture that your mother will wear in her hear
so long as her life shall last? Your daily
life engraves an i~ndestructible picture theI
be careful that no shadow Of rudeness, ne
glect, or disobedience, dim it's future or ma
its features"

A disheartening Work.

THERE is but little to cheer and muchfto
sadden the earnest worker in the temperance
cause. He labors honestly and zealously for
the reformation Of his fellow men from year
to year, and seeing so little fruit of his labors
being made manifest, he is almost ready
alone to the safety of himself and his house
amid the wsSe48pread devastation of the
whirlwind curse of rum. He has marred-
he has argued-he has plead, it seems, in
vain for the work of ruin goes bravely on.
His neighbors, his friends and countrymen
still drink, rave, curse and die as of yore.-
His c~ounsels and admonitions to flee to an
ark of safety have been ~disregarded, and the
curse drives on crushing and blasting the
brightest and best hopes of a land, the bes
blest of Heaven. All! there is much to sad
den and little to cheer.
We feel the truth of this forcibly ourself
In our humble way we have been ende avor
ing for several years to publicly advocate tn
cause Of temperance with all of the littl
ability given us. Every week, for more tina
FIVE years, we have spoken to our thousand
of readers, pleading for recruits in the gres
temperance army and warning the drinkt
of the danger he incurs and the risk he run
We have availed ourselves of almost ever
argument, and can now say: "Lord. it
done as thou hast commanded, and yet the
is ROOM"
We can recall but one instance where
we were instrumental in doing good. v
have been assured that the keeper of anot
drunkery became convinced that he was d
ing wrong, from reading one of our articl,
j: abandoned the trade and became an enthu
f astic Iaborer for the cause. Thank Go
Whenever our heart sinks within and
) feel like throwing aside our weapons and CT
"slay on, rum devil, Stay on !" memory poll
$ to this one glorious victory and with an il
will we bend to the toiling oar again. y

Poetry of an Ex-President.

In the two Vulumes of Webster's Letters,
recently published, says the NesO York EUen-
ing Post, appear some samRlesyfhis poetical
talent, which are nearly as good as the YER
ses handed down to US as Cicero's. Edmund
Burke, when a youth, wrote lines quite equal
to those produced by Thompson or Gold
smith at the same age. John Quincy Adams
wrote poetry occasionally to a very late pc.
Rod in life. He is not the only one of our
Presidents who have entertained their leisure
with sorting syllables and matching rhymes.
John Tyler is said to be as much at home in
poetry as in politics and a correspondent
has sent US the following example of the
things which he throws off, when the fit is
on him. The lines were addressed to a Long
Island lady, at a season when only the very
earliest and hardest flowers make their ap-
p~earance in our latitude, while in Virginia
at least in the lower end and more south
ern parts of 1.-THE rose trees are in bloom
Come fly to the South from your Island oil
snow,
The North is too cold for a soul such as
thine
No roses bloom there to adorn thy fair brow
Though born in those deep auburn tresse'
to shine.
Then fly to the South, where Japonicas bloom
And enamel the grove with their beautiful
flowers:
, Oh, come and inhale their delicious perfume
, Arising from Natures own mystical bow
ers.
Oh! come to the South, where the mock-bir'
: all night
Pours forth from the tree top its rapturou
Which rises and falls in the moons mellov
light,
Like the song of the mermaid far over tn
q main.
: Why stay in the North, where the winter
= cold frown
Still fingers in ice on the lap of sweet May
Oh, haste to the South, where sweet flower
have blown,
e And therill long unfetter'd glides laughin
away.
