Surge and swell, -.... 49,.
Asshe sits alone by the dying fire:
Vacantly watching the sparks expire.
She has hushed her weary children "

Putting aside the sorrows

Now is hcr hour to watch and to weep
Oh! the vigils that women keep!
Her thoughts are of the absent
What recks he Z
Among his boon companions,
Wild and free,
What cares he for the yearning grief
That finds in tears it's only relief?
Weep on-'tis the lot Of women,
One and all
From the eyes OF the happiest even,
Tears must fall.
We sit at home and we dream and doubt
And cherish fears of we know not what.
'Tis best to be calm and hopeful
Love and trust
And if our earthly idols.
Fall to dust,
We have still the hope of that heavehly da,
When all tears shall be wiped away.

Mr.. President, there was no Justification Or
|pretext even for these brutalities We state
what'wc know when wessay that the Sioux
agent, Major Galbraith,a has labored faithful
ly-and efficiently FOR the welfare Of these Tn.
dams. The Government, as you know, has
built a house and opcneda farm for every one
Of these Indians2w who would reside upon and
cultivate it. Missionaries, as our worthy
Bishop can testify, have 'labored zealously
among them for their spiritual welfare: There
has been paid to them yearly the interest up
on $2,ooo,ooo. Farming implements have
been purchased, and farmers have been EN-
ployed by the Government to improve and
cultivate their lands. 80. III j.iil 9jJi>1c
These Indians are called by some, prisoners
of war;. There was no war about it. II; was
wholesale robbery, rape and murder.. These
Indians were not at war with their murdered
victims. :.., ....l.l.
The people Of Minnesota, Mr.. President,
have stood firm by you, and by your Admin
istration. They have given both you and it
their cordial support. They have not violated
laao. They have borne these sufferings with
a patience such as but few people ever ex-
hibited under such extreme trial. These In.
dians are now at their mercy, but our people
have not risen up to slaughter them, because
they believe that their President would deal
with them justly,
We are told, Mr.. President, that com
mittee from Pennsylvania, whose families are
living happily in their pleasant homes in that
State, have called upon you, and petitioned
you to pardon the Indians. We have high
respect for the religious sentiments Of your
petitioners; but we submit that it is a bad
taste, indeed, that it is entirely unbecomine
them, to interfere in matters with which they
are so little acquainted, and which relate en-.
tirc]y to the security of our own people, -
We protest against tic pardon Of these IN
dams; because, If It is done, the Indians will
become more insolent and cruel than they
ever were before, believcing as they certain
ly will believc-t}1at their great father al
Washington either justities their acts or i.
afraid to punish them forthcir crimes. nanfo
We protest against 1t, because if the Prcsi
dent does not permit these executionsto TAX,
place under the forms Of law, the outraged
people of Minnesota will dispose Of thes
wretches without law. These two peopl,
cannot live together. "~" -. l..

CRIcKEr.-W,iloU Club agt 81. Georges Club.
An interesting match between ten gentleme OF
the Willow Club Of Brooklyn, with Hammond, their
professional cricketer, and ten gentlemen OF the st.
Georges Club of New-iork, and young George
Wright took place on Saturday, on the 81. Georges
Cricket Ground, Hoboken. The match wasa very
pleasant one Oh both sides, but ended in decided
victory for the Willow Club, by the rsscit Of the
frst innings, the rain stopping the play when ST.
George had scored 60 in their second innings for the
loss OF ONO wicket. Tie Willows have decidedly
improved under the teaching of Hammond, who is
sysh bat with an excellent defense and first-rate
bowler. The first eleven men of st. George,
except Capt. Laing, were very unsuccessful; while
sIessrs. Kendall and Van Baren and young George
Wright were in fine play.
A cricketers dinner served up in good style by
Mrs. Wright ia the Club-House, and friendly
speeches on the presentation Of the ball by Mr..
Gibbe, to Mr.. Strachan at the close of the match,
sarnished the proceedings of the day.
