And whether now the water were less deep, Dr I was borne upon invisible arms, ^ I know not; but methought my mortal robes ol Now only brushed the smoothly gliding stream, ]y And like the edges of a sunset cloud rhe beatific land before me lay. Doe loDg last look brliind me; gradually rhe figures faded on tbe shore of time, it lod, ab the patting bell of midnight si Tick; ^ Due eob, on* effort, and my spirit wns free. ^ * ' til One of Nature's Noblemen. ps fo My thoughts were far away from to joblemen of any kind, r.8 I stood di imong a throng of others in one if jf the elegant dry-goods establish- T iient, situated on the fashionable m promenade of our thriving metrop- st )lis. in I was one of the manv wlm linpfl A ;be polished counters, lookiug with idmiring eyes on the fabrics so C :emptingly displayed. The half- II iour*8 absence of the obliging clerk fa xho could find the style required at Dnly in a distant part of the house, d* lllowed me to be entertained with p< matching the stream of fair ones di joining and departing. G And while I waited with meutal cc criticism to amuse myself, an in- hi :ident occurred a little out of the ri -viiiuiv/u vwovivauuu Ui buu|; V1B1- IC tore. jo A slight, small woman, pale, sad- c? syed, and wearing faded black, ju 2amo in with a new influx of visi- fa tors walking timidly and casting a e: half frightened glance at, the piles vi jf pretty stufta. in A bright new material on the th jounter near where I stood caught pi her eye; she tremblingly inquired d< the price; when she was told, my se 3harp eyes saw a bill twisted in the or juiveripg fingers with a perplexed tl troubled air, and my ears heard the murmured, "Annie will need ten C< yards." 01 "Will you take it?" tr She lifted her pale, meek face k< and answered, fa "I cannot; I did not think it in would be so much !" tl She was turning a way, when a is ventleraan, who like myself had tr been looking and listening, drew fe ear, asking of the clerk: re "What does the lady want ? I et will wait upon her?you attend to di the customers below." k< The respectful manner in which ui he was obeyed, made me at once ' aware that he was the proprietor, g< and I was a little surprised at What at followeji. } I s w J'EjOw fiiany yirds did you \faint, w madam ?'* w "Xcw't take it, air." pi "I am not talking about that/' ai aid be, with a smile: "just answer aj my question." He cat oft' more than she falter- a ingly mentioned; and while he ri was packing it, she found voice to p tell him that iU-healtirhad forced her ti to relinquish thfr work with which p had obtained support for herself r< and her two fatherless children, tl But the eldest girl, barely seven- o teen, was going to tea oh in a week, tl and aha needed a direst to make C her presentable. lie made 110 reply, taking in since the little bill she offered?the sry last of a small hoard?and oin his own pocket added a greenick, the amount of which I conld ?t see, slipped both between the >rd which bound the parcel, aud anded the parccl to her: "There; tell your daughter a raugor wishes her success." lie walked hastily awa}' to avoid sr thanks, and the little woan looked, as she turned to de\rt, like one in a dream. It was a simple act, unobtrusive, quietly done; and not a week ifore, that same gentleman had jen pronounced uncharitable, bemse his name would not be put jwn to swell the list for aid toard some missionary scheme. The Government and the Indians. It is manifest from our Washingn correspondence that govern ent is vigilantly and resolutely tending to the case of "Lo, the >or Indian," in all of its phases, (formation lias been received from on tana showiug that the most gorous measures have been adopd to enforce the Territorial crimiil laws against, the Blackfeet Inans, who last fall murdered Mal>mb Clark, a prominent citizen of e Territory, in his own house, he murderers were indicted and deputation was sent to washingn to urge on the President the >licy of instructing the United :ates Marshall to execute, with liatever force should be necessary, ie warrant of arrest. The duty ' the Governnent was at once ful s wu^u v/jr x icaiuuiit VJ 1'UDlj it the question was not immediely determined aa to whether civprocess could be executed against e resistance of a whole Indian ibe. On December 22, however, le United States Marshal, accoramied by an adequate military rce, left Ilelcna for Teton river > demand from the Blackfeet Inans the murderers of Clark, and uecessary forcibly to arrest them, his is the true policy for govcrnent, which has also, we underand, ordered military protection aid of the developemcnt of the rizona mines. At the meeting of the Indian ommission with the Senate and ouse Committees on Indian Af ire, the Secretary of the Interior id Commissioner Parker on Saturly last, Commissioner Colyer refated his report of the previous ly on Arizona and New Mexico, ommissioner Brunat gave an acmnt ot the trip of himself and s colleagues into the Indian Tertory, and the Secretary of the Inrior urged upon the Congress int committee the value of servi./? il - T 1 jb oi uic inuian uommission, very stly calling attention to the eta that although it had been in cistence only six months it had sited ,half the Indian tribes in the Union, at an expense of less ian one-third of the small approbation?twenty five thousand )llars?for the purpose, and had ( rved wholly without pay. ?con- , ny is a startling novelty in any- . ling connected with Indian affairs. ( At this meeting of the Indian | ommission a general discussion 1 the wisdom of abolishing the eaty system aroBe. General Parsr, the Commissioner of Indian Af _ x- t ft ire, presented iorcioie arguments i favor of abolishing it, and lought reservations essential. It , indeed, a great fallacy to make eaties with the Indian tribes. Inrior in power, as in evory other ispect, they cannot bo treated as juals. Taper treaties with In[anB are trash. They are only ept by the Government at pleasre, and oftener are not kept at all. The Indians are wards of the overnilnent, and should he treated ? such. They should be chastised hen disobedient and provided for hen friendly. The quaver policy ill not answer so long as civil rocess must needs be executed by d ol an adequate military force gainst hostile Indians. As for the peaceable Cherokees. delegation from whom has just arved in Washi ngton, there is every rdspeet thai the. > tr&lty bevien them and govefcnnjent, now ending before tnS Senat6, wilt' be itified. The-treaty provides for ae sole to government of twelve r thirteen mil^bn acrea for about tireetoflHod dollars; so {hat the Jherokeea . may hava ao farther omplications with dtHer trfbe^ and that in the settlement of the T1 Indians government may have, as it ought to have the entire control of them?Herald. BP How They Inforce the Lipuor Law in 00 Boston. . qu I visited a good many places du- tu ring the day where liquor was formerly sold ; was let into club hous- co es with latch keys; led like a lamb, as along dark passage ways, and ad- th mittcd through mysterious doors, wi on the delivery of a password; ta- th ken down cellar, hoisted, submis- P? sively iuto garrets, and once lowercd into a cistern, and wherever I 00 went, in good, sound, law-abiding, constitutional, old Boston. I found ^ prohibition inforced with a severity and vigor that I hadn't deemed tjl( possible. My head achcs when- prc ever 1 think of it. They begiu to enforce about five iue o'clock in the morning, as near as mc I can judge, and keep it up steadily tc< until two or three o'clock in the an morning, when, of course, the in< thing can take care of itself. Men is 1 work so hard at it they grow red in lia the face; many of them men who D0 never gavo much attention to the n8 temperance cause before. g* A Boston man told me that he never knew that there were so jg many drinking places iii the city Le until the law was introduced, and a(j he took it upon himself, in answer f0i to his promptings he neither could pe understand nor resist, to aid in in- th forcing it. He acknowledged tliathe no was nearly worn out. and couldn't th bold out much longer unless the ftf* law were repealed. The material nu they provide for "inforcing is abom- aD inablc, though as "A. Ward" used ^ to remark, that he alwa}*s observed ^ they keep worse liquors at a temperance taveru than anywhere else, yQ bo the quality deteriorates fearfully under prohsbition patronage. 1 ' ha The Lunatic Asylum.?As we antieipated the present Legislature has on not spared the Lunatic Asylum. If there he one institution in the State which, more than another, should have been left under itB former Boad of Regents, that institution is ^ the asylum Ibr the insane. A regard for the insane?for thoso unfortuuato 0(j beings deprived of reason?has always been considered a feature of an qj( advanced civilization. A becoming w consideration for this class should ;n have led the Legislature to withhold sunh a shock to the sensibilities of qq the insane as such a Board as the one re elect is calculated Ho give. What aE Governor Scott shrank from doing, nt his Legislature has done. They have jn laid their hands upon an institution q, peculiarly delicate. The Board of pj Regents consisting of gentlemen of ^ character and commanding the con fidcnco of the State, Lave boen rcmov- ecj ed, and a regency composed mostly of colored men, and others equally nn- pQ fitted for their parts, have been elcc- m) ted. We deem this an outrage. But rft it is no moro than is to be expected. w] When acts like this are committed, m( we hope that one good effect, at least se( may be realized?to mako every good cj8 man realize the necessity of prompt- ^ I -1!- I * * * ~~ iy uispiacmg a regim* wmcii, in South C0I Carolina, thus violates sensibilities and outrages humanity. In the Lunatic Asylum, here, are over two hundred whites and about thirty colored Tt persons.?P hot nix.

The defeat of the Radicals in the House was effected by a solid vote of fifty-six Democrats with forty-two Republican Conservatives. The bill is receiving a warm dlsoussion in the Senate, but will soon B1C be put upon its passage.

A "Washington lettor of Tuesday; eaking of that day's proceedings in ugress, says: One of the most important legal eations debatod was that as to the oct of a revocation by one Legislaro of a State of the ratification of e Fifteenth amendment by a procdingLegislature of the same State, illustrated in tho action takon on e amendment in New York. It is argued by several senators thai. o constitution docs not confer any wer of revocation upon a State jgislature; that that body can only nsider the quostion of ratification, d dispose of it only by adopting or fusing to adopt it, and there its auority over tho subject ends; tho i ? ** -* gioiubuio iius no jurisdiction over 9 subjcct save that which it derives >m the Constitution of the TJuitcd ates in the modo prescribed by that itrument j that in pursuance of that >de Congress submitted the Fifjnth amendment for ratification, d the Legislature can only detcrm) that it will not ratify, and there an end of the State's jurisdiction ; ving ratified t he amendment, it is t competent for the Legislature at subsequent time to annul the ratifi* tion by a resolution of revocation, nator Howe and others wore not clear of opinion, however, that it not within the power of a State igislature at any time prior to the option of the amendment by threelrths of the States to revoke, or real, their formeT action, and reject o amendment. The proposition is vei, witnout precedent, and ia to bo e fruitful subject of discussion Injrcicr unless very soon the requisite mber of States shall ratify tb-o leudmcnt. If it shall turn o?fe that e three-fourths vote of the Sta'.o n only bo mode up by including 2W York, it will become momenj8 question whether a State caw rekc its ratification.
