Sob grintiug,
From Harper's Monthly

All over the banks the wild vines erept,
With shining pansies and tangled weeds,
And close to the margin the lily slept,
Nodding the while mid the thick-set reeds
That ever replied to the wind with sigh,
While over them hung the dragon-fy,
Adown the stream 'twixt the reedy shores,
Where the silvery willows in clusters grew
We foated onward with idle oars
Under heaven Of perfect blue:
And ever above us the clouds went by,
Milky white in the azure sky.
Sometimes the wandering winds would bring
The scent of clover from either side;
Sometimes bird unseen would sing
As we drifted along on the voiceless tide;
Or sometimes a silvery mlnnow leap
Where the reeds and lilies were wraptin sleep
Noiselessly parted our sharpened prov
The purple waves of the beautiful stream;
All! Well / remember even now
How, in kind Oflotus dream,
We hoated on past the reedy shores.
OF that silent river with idle oars.
The sun hung low in a crimson sky,
Ever since noon had we drifted along;
Now the sober twilight was drawing nigh;
The woodbird was singing her vesper song
And myriad voices of insects filled
The reedy shores, where all else was stilled.
Never a stray breath stirred the reeds,
Never shudder over them crept;
Motionless all were the pansies and weeds
The cream white lilies entraneed slept
And the willows, flushed with the SUMS last
CLEAN,
Hung listlessly over the voiceless stream.
Quickly the sweet day drew to a close,
Ona sudden the great sun seemed to swoon;
Over the eastern hill-tops rose,
Red and swollen the harvest mooni
And the twilight fingered, sombre and brown,
Till the solemn night on swift wings came
down.
We are drifting still, but Life is the stream
Down which we pass on our certain way,
Sometimes at night, with no friendly CLEAN,
And sometimes ON through the perfect day !;
But in shadow or sunshine know that we
Are drifting out toward the open sea.

The Office of Indian Affairs.

The Commissioner OF Indian Affairs IN
sub IlIttIug ms second annual report re-
marks til Il the year 1866 will De memorable
large number of treaties Concluded With
them by the GoVeTutnenL.
Many OF these treaties are concluded with
tribes with whom hostliIt,es nad continued
Tor two or three years, al greal cost to line
country. In the treaties made with the la
tlois resident iii the Indian country south
of Kansas, the abolition Of slavery aud pro-
per care for the freeuIneD are expressly pro-
yided for. Many of the tribes agree To be
moved To reservations III the Indian coun-
try and cede the territory hitherto owned
by them to the Government or to private
companies, which, IN return, engage to
make provision for establishing schools,
supporting missions and encouraging agri-
culture and civilization i'll general. A NUM-
Der of treaties are still awaiting ratification,
or in the course of preparation.
Although no serious hostiitles have oc-
Cured during the past year between the In
dams and whites numerous 0epIedatlons
have occurred as usual it Is natural that
the disposition among the settlers who oc-
casionaliy suffer from the raids OF the In
dams, is very hostile, but it is at the same
time gratifying to know that both the iegis-
lative and executive departments of the Gov
erument are intent upon protecting the ln-
dians from unjust and illegal treatment.
The history OF the Indians is drawing to
a close The irrepressible advance of the
white settlers over floods all their posses
sions, and more and more they become con-
ceutrated in the Indian territory, where
most of them are placed under some kind of
territorial government, and begin to devote
themselves to agricultural pursuits. The
report of the Commissioner makes number
of recommendations which will receive in
time the earnest attention of Cong ress

Mrs Ii B Stowe, in the Atlafitlc Month
ly, has done good service for both parents
and children in exposing this common mis-
take. The following extract conveys the
pith of her views on the subject
Children are more hurt by indiscrimi-
nate, thoughtless fault finding than by any
other one thing. Often child has all the
setsitiveness and all the susceptibility of a
grown person added to the faults of Child
hood. Nothing about him is right as yet ;
he is immature and faulty at all points, and
everybody feels at perfect liberty to criticize
him to right and left, above and below till
he takes refuge in callous hardness or irri-
table moroseness.
"a bright, noisy boy rushes in from
sbhool, eager to tell his mother something
he has on his heart, and Number One cries
out oh, you've left the door open do
wish you wouldn't always leave the door
open And do look at the mud on your
shoes How many times must / tell you to
wipe your feet p Now there you've
thrown your cap on the sofa again. When
will you learn to hang it up ?'-'Don't
put your slate there that isn't the place
for it'-'How dirty your hands are what
haze you been doing ?'-.Don't sit in that
chair you break the springs bouncing
Mercy how your hair looks ! Do go
upstairs and comb it. '-'There, if you
haven't torn the braid all off your coat !!
Dear lne what boy Don't speak SO
loud your voice goes through my head. ,
II want to know, Jim, if. if it was you
that broke up that barrel that have been
saving for brown four.'-I believe it was
you, Jim, that hacked the side OF my razor >
'Jinls been writing at my desk, and blot
ted three sheets of the best paper. Now
the questions is if any of the grown people
of the family had TO run the gauntlet of n
string of criticisms Oh themselves equally
true as those that salute unlucky Jim.
