THE FROST At MEMPHIS.

EY ANNIE HERnkRr.
M
It was nightfall ia the city,
There was silence on the street,
And anon the sound Of sobbinR,
And the tread Of hurried feet;
Sluggish wings Of mist were stiKrinz
Through the pestilential air,
Aud the meek cross-bearers persisted
From their sacrifice and prayer.
In the dull and heavy twilight
Lay boy Of tender years,
Where the scourge was knocking hourly
for its dole Of death and tears;
And he called his pallsd mother
Through the shadows to his side,
Nhllo his face was like vision
VI the faces glorifed.
III.
have had dream" he whispered,
m, Just the strangest that could be-
That should'n mt die like para,
:, Nell and all but you and me;
For dreamed an angel WRtchmRn,
With mantle soft and white,
Walked through all the streets at midnight;
Mamma will he come tO-night?"
Then the wan and weary mother,
flushed her child to quiet sleep,
Win solemn wonder daWninE
Of the watch the angels keep;
Aud she listened as one listens
TO the music of q bell,
through the rushing of the river
70 the watchman's cry, "all's wellP'
1t was merning. and the people.
In the hushed and reverent air,
Bowed to earth in silent rapture
=, touched the sign Of healing there;
FOR the angel Of the City
Over every threshold crossed,
WIN silver vail of mOOulight,
And the footsteps of the frost.

The Committee therefore proposes:
THAT the end of the Draft there be added
the following Temporary Enactment
"When, simultaneous with the time of this
Laws coming into force the Colonial Councils
then existing shall have been dissolved, cleo
tons for the new Colonial Councils shall with
the least possible delay be caused to take place,
and the Colonial Council shall then be con-
vened, FIR a session, in st. Croix, if necessary,
for an extraordinary session, wherein there
shall also be appointed Members for the Mu-
nicipal Board treated of in 5 "a r36].
Until an Ordinance containing rules on
elections can emanate, the elections shall be
conducted in accordance with the rules laid
down in 5 20-33 Of the Colonial Law OF 27th
November 1868, with such notifications as
result from this Law and the rules given herein
after.
The lists of persons entitled 10 voc are to
be drawn up with as little delay as possible,
without regard to the several periods specified
in th3 Law of 9th November 1858 22-24,
for giving in declarations and for framing and
exhibiting the lists. But it shall be observed
that the period for giving in declarations must
not be less than 1 weeks and that the lists be
open for inspection Is days. For the rest, the
Government is authorized to make the neCessa-
ry arrangements previous to this Law coming in
force, for carrying out the new elections.

The desire of the American people to
extend their territory, immense as 1t ac-
tualIy is, and especially their anxiety to
secure a picd-d teYe in some part OF the
West Indian Archipelago, cannot rcasona-
bly, be doubted, nor is it of recent growth,
for it is strongly associated with their
avowed jealousy of the existence upon the
Western continent Of a community IN
political connexion with any European
power. It is true that the negotiations
for the acquisition Of the Dunjsh islands
have for the present fallen through, but this
is no proof that the determination to
carry out such a policy is even Weakened
much less abandoned ; and if the purchase
of Alaska was sanctioned, of which the
object AMI value could be only and eX-
clusiyeIv political, it is most unlikely that
any opportunity of establishing themselves
in positions, offering much more varied
attractions and advantages, will be neglect
ed. As there may be those to whom this
idea may appear farfctched and chimerical,
[ make two or three quotations. from the
communications of the Times Washington
CORRESPONDENT. Tn January 1869 the
House of Representatives at Washington
had an interesting debate upon the sub
iect of acquiring possession OF various
West Indian islands. 1t resulted in a decl-
siou not to pursue the matter further; but
is important in showing how firm a hold
the idea of possessing the entire American
continent has taken upon a good many OF
our political leaders. "-EuroPean MalL'

shall to these two small congregations contribute
a pretty considerable sum, &c $4,000 & 5000
yearly while the other larger congregations
have to support their clerical establishments
entirely of their own means; and the Majority
cannot see that the circumstance that the church
is the Danish National Church and it is so be-
cause the great part of the Nation belongs to it
could any longer necessitate an obligation on
the part of the Colonies to subsjliz3 it on the
other hand, it issadmitted that for the Govern
ment and the Garrison on the Island, there ought
to be a Salaried Governmeut-Or GarriSon-O Chap
lain, but without being in any other relation to
any congregation than such asmay be mutually
established between them and the Congregations
pay for. But it appears to be most consistent
with the principle otherwise followed in regard
to the Colonial affairs, if this matter were to be
left to the interior Legislature, so that at some
COnvinent future period it could be regulated,
without being bound by an enactment in the
Colonial Law, The Majority therefore pro-
poses:
No. "a. THAT S &C Of the Draft be
omitted.
The Minority [Faber cannot agree to this
proposal he is namely Of the opinion that the
Lutheran Congregation in FrederikSted would
cease to exist if it did not receive support from
the PdbIic Funds.

TIE LEE MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION, incorpo-
rated by the Legislature Of Virginia. was
organized for the purpose Of placing a suitable
memorial Of General R. f. Lee over his re-
mains, which rest beneath the Chapel Of Wash

At the suggestion Of Mrs. Lee, the Association
selected as the design Of the memorial a sar-
cpphagGs with a full sized. recumbent figure Of
Gen. Lee to he Gu, from the pures. Marble
A contract has been made with Mr.. Valentine,
the distinguished sculptor, f'r the preparation
aud erection Of this memorial, and tie cast OF
the work in plaster has been already completed.
In lis very impressive likeness to our beloved
Commander the Gsure is admirable, and the
entire work, as specimen Of Art is in every
way worthy Of its great subject. Means are
now needed to enable Valentine to 90 forward
aud put his beautiful conception into marble.
Tie total cost Of the work undertaken by
the Association will be $50 1000 OF this
smoun, So .OO0 have been already contributed
by those anxious to do honor To- tie srea, and
good Robert T. Lee. Fifteen thousand dollars
are yet required to complete the memorial.
