THE LOH AGO.
Obi a wonderful stnsra Is the river Time, 1
As ft runs through the realms of tears,
With a faultless rhythm and a niusliwl ihytno,
And a broad'ning sweep, an I a surge uuliue,
' That blonds with the ocean of years.
How the winters are drifting like flukes of now, -.
And the summers like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf so they come and they go
On the river's breast, with its ebb and flow,
As it glides la the shadow and sheen.
There is a magical isle on the river Time, .
Where the softest of airs are playing;
There's a cloudless sky and a tropical dime,
And a song as sweet as a vesper chime, .
Aud the Junes with the rosos are staying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows o' beauty and bosoms of snow
Titers sre heaps of dust, but we loved them so!
There are trinkelaand tresses of hair.
There art fragments of song that nobody sings,
And a part of an Infant's prayer,
There's a lute unswept, and a harp without strings,
There are broken vows, and pieoes of rings,
And the garments that ike uied to wear.
There are ban Is that are waved when the fairy shore
By the mirage ia lifted in air;
And we sometime hear, through the turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we beard in the days gone befoie,
When '.he wind down the river is fair.
Oh I remembered for aye be the blessed isle,
All the day of life till night
When the eveu'ng comes, with its beautiful smile,
And oureyes aro closing to slumber awhile,
May our "greenwood" of soul be in. sight. -

IRK.nSAS TRAVELER.
In the early settlement of Arkansas, a traveler,
after riding some ciht or ten miles nillinut
meeting a human be'ng, or Seeing a human hab
itation, came at length, by a sudden turn of the
teoodroad, to a miserable ' shanty," the centre of
a small clearing,, in what had origimlly been a
"black-jack thicket," whence tho only Found
that proceeds is the discordant music of a brokeu-
winded fiddle, from the troubled bowels of which
the occunant is laboriouslv cxtortiu" the monotu-

tin indefatigable fiddler still playing the first
strain of "Tho Arkansas Traveler," whieh in
fact he continues, at sudden intervals, until the
dialogue, as will be socn, is. brought to an unex

of it were miserable slandorcrs and cowards. The
gentleman connected with it was every way one of
the most honorable men in the Republic ; and I
undertake to say that he who assails the justice
of it or tho motives of my friehd", then Secretary
of War, cannot maintain as a gentleman what he
will say as a Senator. That isall I intend to say
On that point. I have said before, that claim it
ccived; so far as I know, the unanimous support
of the Senate again and again : when it passed,
it received the unanimous support of the other
House, and the signature of the i'resident of the
United States; it was"a just'claim, fuunded upon
wolutionarywieeThatwasjiailedjn the
newp-ipers is true ; but it seems that Senator now
does not choose to intimate or know on what point
the clamor was ,madu. The clauior wis made
upon the allowance of interest by the Secretary
of the Treasury of the United States, at the in
stnneo of another distinguished friend of mine,
then a member of General Taylor's administra
tion the Hon. Keverdy Johnson. The complaint
was as to the departmental decision allowing in
terest. The integrity and validity of the claim
have never been assailed, in uiy judgment, by
anybody.
" When that interest was (ilfi.wcd, I defended
it in the House of, Representatives, and I defend
it here. I know that the then Secretary of War
came to the House of Representatives, a,nd de
manded that the question should be referred to
the Supreme Court of. the United States, pledg
ing himself to refund the money if the decision
was not affirmed by the highest tribunal of his
country; and a partisan majority in this House

" George Galphin was an Indian trader in the
State of South Curolinar He bought from the
Indians, with seven other trader,, a large tract J

of land. The amount of his debt, 9,000," was
audited by Governor W right, at the commence
ment of the Revolution. The British Govern
ment was to sell the lunds and to pay the traders'
debts. There never was any dispute anywbero
abrut this debt. It went from Congress to the
Legislature of Georgia, and from there bore, the
dispute Jbeing who should pay. Georgia said the
United States ought to pay'; the United States
said Georgia. Georgia.said she never used the
fund; and the ItHid' had been used in the par-
ticulat -defence and in the general defence of the
United btates. J Ins man, being a triend ot
the Revolution, called upon his own Government.
