This wasnot bad enough. Sometimes good

Blooming SO modesfly "Out of the way
Under the tangle and down by the brook,
Up ON the hillside in some shady nook,
Always and ever trying to play
Hide-g o-seek with the suns golden ray.
Beautiful violet welcome thou art,
Bringing sweet thoughts to weary heart
For with memories full thy coming seems,
And gazing upon thee, back come the dreams
That haunted me once in loves bright

When life and life's hopes were an eno esS

Beautiful violet! when l am laid

Filling with sweetness the soft evening air?
Say, viii you not come and over me lay
Your mantle of blue, fair daughter of
May?

MONDAY THE GOTH OF APRIL 1868, IL o'clock,
at noon, the Colonial Council of st. Croix

country district (Dam), reported indisposed,
and the 1st crown-member (WillemoesG who
didn OF attend before later in the meeting on
account of official business.
The minutes of the last meeting were read.
His Excellency the Governor informed the
Council, that His Excellency the Minister for
the Interior had by letter of the 2Sth ultO.
enjoined on him to communicate to the Council
His Majesty's most gracious resolution of the
9th of the same month. He then read the
Minister'S letter, contents as follows:
The Ministry ofMe Interior.
The petition from the Colonial Council of
st. Croix set forth in an Address to Your Elk
cellency dated the gath of last month has by
me been most submissiveIy represented to His
Majesty the King, and His Majesty has been
graciously pleased by a Resolution given in a
Council of State yesterday to authorize me to
inform the aforementioned Council
tia His Majesty's Government, not less
than the Colonial Council, acknowledge the
Importance for the Island of st. CrOix to re-
main in its connection with the two other
OdnlSll- w eSIluuld lSldnuS, anu THAI the OOV-
eminent will for the future, the same as has
been the case during the past deliberations,
maintain this conviction and not for a mo-
ment lose sight of the interests of St. Croix,
and
that His Majesty's Government intend by
proper measures to compensate the loss
which st. Croix might suffer by a separation
of that Island from St. Thomas and st.
Johns, if this event should take place for a
shorter or longer period"
In acquainting Your Excellency with the
above, l have to request You to communicate
without delay the foregoing Royal Resolution
to the Colonial Council.
