Ikato Lee and Willie Grey.
BY MARGARET vEDSE.

Two brown heads with tossing curls
Red lips shutting over pearls
Bare feet white and wet with dew
Two eyes black and two eyes hlue--
Little boy md little girl were they
Katie Lee aud Willie Grey.
They were standing whore brook,
Bending like sheapard's crook,
Flashed its silver, aud thick ranks
or green willows tinged the banks
Half 10 thought and half in play
Katie Lee and Willie Grey.
They had cheeks like cheeries red;
He was taller-most head
She, with arms like wreaths of snow,
Swung basket to aud fro,
As she loilered halfin play,
Chaltering to Willie Grey
"Pretty Katie" Willie said
And there came dash of red
Through the brownDess Of his cheek
"Boys are strong and girls are weak,
And I'll carry, so | will
Katies basket up the HILL"
Katie answered with laugh,
" ou shail carry only hall
And then tossing back her curls
"Boys are weak as well as girls"
Do you think that Katie guessed
Halfthe wisdom she expressed
Men are only boys grown tall,
Hearts don't change much, after all
And when, long years from that day,
Katie Lee and Willie Grey
Stood again behind the brook,
BeQding like shepherds crook,
1t is strange that Willie said
While again dash Of red
Crossed the BROWNIES ofhis check
81 am strong and you are weak
Life is but slippery steep,
Hung with shadows cold and deep.
"Will you trust me Katie dear
Walk beside me without fear
May ] carry, if will .-..r.,
All your burdens up the hill p
And she answered, with laugh,
mo ) but you may carry half"
Close beside the flashing brook,
bending like shepard's crook,
washing with It's silver hands
Late and early its sands, ia
Is cottage, where, to-day,
Katie lives with Willie Grey.
In the porch she sits. aud 10 |
y Swings basket to and fro,
Vastly different from the one
That swung in years agone.

Between the great Empire of Russia and
the United States, the mutual friendship and
regard which has so long existed, still contin-
ues to prevail, and, if possible, to increase.
Indeed, our relations with that Empire are all

1t is with great satisfaction communicate the
fact that, since the date of my last annual mes
sage. not n single slave has been imported into
the United States in violation of the laws pro-
hibiting the African Slave trade. This statement
is founded upon a thorough examination and in
vestigation of the subject Indeed the spirit
which prevailed some time since among a pOT-
ton of our fellow citizens in favor of this trade,
seems to have entirely subsided. also congratu-
late you upon the public sentiment which now
exists against the crime of setting on foot mill
tary expeditions within the limits Of the United
States, TO proceed from therce and make war up
on the people OF an unoffending State with whom
we are at peace. In this respect q happy change
has been affected since the commencement of my
administration. II surely ought to be the prayer
of every christian and patriot, that such expedi-
tions may never receive countenance in our conn
try or depart from our shores.
1t would be a useless repetition to do more than
refer with earnest commentator to my former
recommendations in favor of the Pacific Railroad,
of the grant of power to the President to employ
the naval force, force in the vicinity, for the
protection Of the lives and property Of our fellow
citizens, passing in transit over the different
Central American routes, against sudden and law
less outbreaks and depredations; and also to pro-
tect American merchant vessels. their crews and
cargoes, against violent and unlawful seizure and

The friendly and peaceful policy pursued by
the Government of the United States towards
the Empire of China, has produced tie most
satisfactory results. The treaty OF T!entsin, of
the 18th of June, 1858, las been faithfully OBJ
served by the Chinese authorities. The Con-
ventiOn of the Sth November, 1858, supple
mentary to this treaty for the adjustment and
satisfaction of the claims of our citizens in
China, referred to in nay last annual message,
has already been carried into effect 50 Ear as
this was practicable.
Under this convention, the SIM Of 5GG, oC0
taels, equal to about 100000, was stipulated
to be paid in satisfaction Of the claims of
American citizens oat Ci the onc-fftieth of
the receipts for tonnage import and export
duties on American vessels, at the ports of
Canton, Shanghai and Fuchou; and it was
agreed that this amount shall be in full liqui-
dation of all claims of American citizens at

which was rapidly diminishing every mo.
ment. The long drought had rendered the
rubbish and underground below as dry ss
tInder, and the flames licked them up with
fearful rspidity; and springing upward,
caught the pine leaves, glossy with rosin,
and then leaping from tree to tree forming
pillow Of fire awful to behold. The
atfrlghted herd, believing with fear, dash

Ashes, Goals and burning brauces fell

A CUTE YANKEE.--A Sheriff in Illinois
who hates Yankee peddlers as he does
"pizeu, makes it his especial business to
see that this class Of itinerating merchants
do not vend their wares without license.
This lunclionary met peddler lately
whom he suspected Of violating the stat
utes, and after pricing number of arti-
ticles purchased bottle Of the "Balm Of
Columbia or, as the peddler stated, II
"Balm O. Kulumby, price one dollar good
for the hda, and assistin' poor human ma.
!ure," and in reply to the peddler's ques.
tion whether he wanted anything cleo, said
he did-he wanted TO see the peddler's
license, which was exhibited, and pro-
nCunced "all right" Handing back the
bottle to the peddler, the sheriff said, "I
don't know that really want this stuff
now, what will you give for it?" oval"
replied the Yankee, "bein' it's you, Sher-
i'll, I'll give you twenty-five cents for It,"
and after purchasing it at that low figure,
he said to the sheriff, shave you got a
peddlers license about your trowsers any
where" He allowed lie hadn't, and had
no use for the article. At the next vii.
lage the Yankee complained of the sheriff,
who was fined eight dollars for vending
balm o Kulumby" without license.
