THE SWEET SINGER. =

Tn1eurE: WRITTEN on THE TRAGIC DEATH OF TIE
F.. LATE r. r. EL1ss.
Sleep in the wild and lonely yalc,
Whose story sad will ever live,
Where many poor soul went Up to God, T.
Mid cries OF help that none could give.
Sleep where the Master called for you,
When Death o'er1ook the fated train,
Amid the horrors of that Winters night
The storm, the crash, the lurid aame.
Rest from the mission OF your 1ife,~
Your work Of song so nob1y done:
And, in the presence OF our Lord and King,
Take up the crown SO nob}y Won~
Sweet are the teachings Of your words,
Repete with Gospel love aud cheer;
Sweet was the music Of your gifted voice,
So soothing to the heart and eur.
Resume new life's gong Of praise
In Heavens high, resounding hall:
While we belov will sing your sweetest songs,
So dear to us-so free to all.

LEGEND OF THE Ap1goSDACKs.

fDf 1H< 1F1oHHE
At the head Of the down-streau1ing rivers In
the Adirondacks uplands, there stand two huge
battlements Of rock, called the ''1ndian Pass u
Here, in this land Of boulders, and amid the
ruins of upturned and rottins forests, are the
fountains Of four rivers,-the Hudson, the Au
Sable, the Bouquet, and the opalescent- The
Opalescent joins the Hudson at the foot
of an unscalcd mountain. There is legend
told by the Iroquois, which was handed down
from the long-extinct "Tribe of the Adiron-
dacks,' which runs something like this: Wa
neeta, an Indian maiden, and her lover. went to
find the head-waters of the Hudson, and became
lost in the Indian Pass. Waneeta waited on q
large tablc-rock, and saw her lover pass out of
the great west portal into the night. He has
never returned, and N'anecta wanders to and
fro, sadly singing the ''1ndian Song of Hearts" "
but does not lose sight Of the place where they
parted, for fear he will come in her absence and
find that she has gone.

Near the rushing, mad Au Sable,

OF love that love imparts;

A correspondent Of the BULLETIN,
writing from Jonesboro, paid to Judge
Crawford some compliments which we
approved; but the correspondent also
took occasion to indirectly say some un-
Kind things about Judge Baker. What
he said was not very rude, but it was un-
kind. and therefore did not meet with
our approval. We cannot permit any
word of condemnation of Judge Baker
to be spoken without protest. In our
opinion he is model judge, and one OF
whom we all may we'll be proud. He is
learned in the law, excellent in judg-
ment, and honest beyond suspicion. In
his hands neither the reputation of the
berch for wisdom nor the purity of its
ermine will ever suffer.

GOOD NEWS, II TRUE.

Gen. NJ. c. Butler, elected United
States senator by the Hampton Legis-
lature in South Carolina, left for home
tonight after very pleasant interview
with the president. He, with other
gentlemen. who have been representing
General Hampton here, express the opin.
ion that the Hampton government will
surely be recognized. and that one of the
great objects OF the president in inviting
General Hampton to Washington was to
receive from him personally an assurance
that the humblest colored man in the
state shall receive the same protection as
any white man. There seems to be no
doubt that Hampton will accept the invi-
tation Of the president.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-The cabinet
session to-day lasted from ten O'Clock un-
til noon. 1t appears that yesterday it
was determined to take some different ac-
ton from that taken in Louisiana, but
nothing was definitely stated. The re-
suit, however, was decision to address
letters to Gov. Hampton and Gov. Cham
berlain, inviting them to this city, and
soon after noon to-day the following let
ter received the approval OF the cabinet.
1t was sent to the gentleman 10 whom it
was addressed.
