Then fold me in your arms, my Love, and press

And hear NE vow my love for you is Of my life a

Press kisses on my brow, Love, press kisses
warmly there,
And listen TO my song Of Love, twill tighten al

GEORGE W. AND THE ANGEL,
Translated from the English ]
Monsieur George Washington!


--Mcnsieur George Washington!
MAY his tribe increased
AWoke one night from deep dream OF peace,
aud saw. within the moonlight of his room,
Making it rich and like lily in bloom,
angel writing in a book OF gold;
Exec eding peace had made George W. bold,
Ard 10 the presence in his room he said,
what wrilest thou?" The vision raised his head,
And, with look Of al sweet accord, answered,
The names of those who love the Constitution
and the Union it was, and the "aoble
army of martyrs " who take up their beds
end walk for the country, the whole coun-
Try. and nothing but the country!
"ABd il mine one ;" asked George; at ami"
Replied the angel; "but there be them
Who will desert al those and go for cOlOred men ;"
George ielt sad aud slehed but spoke again:
81 pray thee then, write only those who love their
fellow men ~
The angel wrote and vanished the next night
II came again, with great wakeuing light,
Ard shew the names whom all the gods had
blessed,
Who 10 conservatives led all the rest

result of their holding up their hands in the Troy
Justices Court was certificate declaring them to

up his hand, at the order of the clerk, who counted
the hands up, and called out, " How is this ! here
fifteen papers, and only fourteen hands up One
of the men in the line held up both hands, which
satisfied the clerk, and the mummery was gone

On an examination of a man who procured regis
tration upon paper thus obtained, before U. S.
Commissioner j. A. Corey at Saratoga Springs, he
held him for appearance at the United States Court
in Auburn under the following clause of the law:
If any person shah falsely make forge, counterfeit
or cause or procure be falsely made, forged or eoun
forfeited any certificate evidence OF citizenship re-
ferred 10 In this act shall pass utter or use as rue
any false forged. cOunterfeted certificate OF citizen

When the witness appeared in Auburn, the Assis-
tant District-Atorney said the ofense was not in
dictable in the United States Court. very singular
decision as it seems to more than one man learned
in the law. There are many other cases of natural
izations procured wrongfuly in this Court that
should be reached if possible; but if the District
Attorney is right, then there is no remedy.
