The?? is a reaiper, whose name is death,
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at n breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
"Shall I hare naught dial is lair?" saith he; '
"Tlave'naE.-rht but the bearded cram? i
a
Though the breath of these flowers is
tweet to me;'
I will give them all back again."
He gazed at the flowers with tearful eyes;
5 He kissed their drooping leaves; '
It was for the Lord of Paradise
He bound them in his sheaves.
"Mv Lord hath need of these flowretsgay."
- The reaper said, and smiled;
-Dear tokens of the earth are they,
Where He was once a child."
'They shall all bloom in fields of light,
Transplanted by my care,
And Faints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear,"
And the mother gave, in tears and pain,
The flowers she most did love;
She knew she should find them all again,
In the fields of light, above.
0, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The Reaper came that day;
'Twas an angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers awav.

HOW THC WOLVEKIXC DISCOVERED
THE LEAD MINE.
A FACT.
I was a "young" man ten year's ago
and (like some oilier young men I wet of,
who did the same thing, id returned
lighter than they went!) I drifted out
"West. Mv locale for the time bcin '
was in the easterly part of Michigan, but
I once ventured westward as far as Wis
consin. There is a swarm of "suckers," "hoo
ziers," "buckeyes," "corn-crackers," and
"wolverines," eternally on the qvi vive,
in them "parts a migratory race of
peds who float about from spot to spat,
"squatting," for the nonce, wherever their
fancy or interest incline them; and a
rougher set of men will rarclv be met
with, savirg the genuine "voyrgcurs" or
"trappers" so notorious for their hardi
hood. A "green" looking individual turned
lip suddenly one morning in the vicinity
of a back-woods mining settlement, and,
according to his own account he had
come from a "desperate wavs oil"" in
search of "sumlhin to du."
A iinsey-woolscy jacket, considerably
the worse for wear, was slung ever his
shoulder; his pants were made of tcw
cloth; a pair of coarse cow-hide brogans
ornamented his feet, and the gear which
protected (?) his head might have answer
ed an excellent turn to sift ashes through;
in brief, his tout ensemble looked very
like the "breaking up of a hard winter."
lie sauntered leisurely up to a knot of
workmen, and drawing from his side
pocket a huge soft-cracker, he commenced
launching it solus.
"Mornin stranger,", said one of the
hands., at length.
'Momin' vourself, Cap'n."
"Which way?"
"None in partic'Iar."
"Well, stranger, where do vou hail
from?"
"Wall I hails from all around the lot."
"From the East'ard?"
"Wal yes I reckon."
"What news?"
"None as I know on."
"You're short kinder."
tWal you'll find me long enough
r-REhaps."
The conversation was suspended; the
-wolverine cominued to munch his biscuit, j
and llie miners pursued their labors.'
Hut the biscuit finally disappeared, and
the stranger, who had taken considerable
interest in their operations, had approach
ed within speaking distance again.
.Val they da say the Banks busted
"What bank" bawled an operative,
dropping his spade and looking about him
for a land side. .
"Nited State Bank" '
-O! is that all!. Wiiv, how you skearl
a feller'."
"Some of 'em'llget fkeercd, wus then
that, I reck'n, afore they're through, with
it,"
Again the talk ceased. ' The wolverine
watched the progress of thc workmen,
and finally laid his jacket upon the bank.
"S'pose you don't want another hand!"
"No."
X- . . T.I t.
Here one of the party in a green round-
-ci; i inoegiii ii'i,
about, who imagined hrmseif considera-
My more than a match for hr.lf a score
like the green 'un and tvho appeared
hke overseer Jof the gang- proposed to
him that he thould pay scot for the
rrowd, and he would then show him
where hj could set up the "diggia trade"
fcC his owr, account!
"Done!" said the wolverine;
"Drinks all round- mind."
i "Sartin. Jest fetch on your prary
1 dew' for the hull lot, and d n the ex
; penses." '
A capacious caddy of the cratvre was !
procured and t!ie party had a jolly time
at the cost of the new comer. The li-
quor disposed of, he asked for directions
t0 the siLe where he should commence op-
i -
' orations.
"Well, stranger said the knowing one, j
with a side wink to his men, "begin
any w har; try imder the. old tree, von
der." .
"The big shaddy tree," across the lot,
there?"
"Yes"
"Thank ye. It looks like ?. right smart
spot.
"Hope you'll have a good time of it,"
added the overseer, and the parlies sepa
rated, -
The wolverine went at it in right good j
earnest, with a borrowed "pick, and !
Ion? before sunset (as luck would have it)
he "struck a Lead!" Having "satisfied
himself in reference to' the location, lie
covered up his tracks 2nd returned to the
lead mine.
"Say, Cap'n; you're raylhcr hard on a
poor felicr." . , ,
"Eh! Wiiat luck, stranger?"
"Luck, you snid! Wl;- I don't know
what you call luck. I've been a sweat
in' over tiiar, about ten hours; a hull day
lost, smack, and not a red cent made
yet."
"Oh, trv again," said the sharp 'un,
'"you'll no."
Wa!, may be so, and may be not.
Whar's the owner o' that r.r patch?"
'I own this land, ail about."
"Mav be vou would'nt like to sell that
are lot?"
"But I should though."
"Wot'll you take for that lot?"
"O, you may have it at government
price; there is eighty acres."
"Eli. take that Lor, Mr. Wot-you-call-em."
"You wili?"
"Yes, Mister; and here's yer 'plt
tv!' "
As our wolverine pronounced this last
sentence, he drew forth a ragged bandana,
in one corner of which w as stowed away
a goodly quantum of the "shiners."
The hundred dollars were soon told; the
parties immediately repaired to the Laud
OiEce, where Squire 1. made the deed of
transfer, and the document was placed in
the stranger's hand.
On his way back, he passed a. crowd
of miners, w ho had done laughing, and
shortly afterwards he was out of sight.
Next morning, bright and earlv, the wol
verine was at work under that tree, with
two assistants; and by noon-time a very
showy vein had come to light, within a
lew feet of the ground's surface. Tiir
stranger laughed then! the miners grin
ned, and the lucky buyer disappeared, a
gain. Four weeks afterwards, a countryman
in plain homespun; accompanied by a
"gentleman in black," visited the spot;
and thev, too, went to Squire P's office.
Another transfer was made; and the awk
ward wolverine of the tattered breeches
and torn hat, left his purchase in other
hands, with a boxcs of fie thousand
DOLLARS IN HIS POCKET.
The last I saw of the rough stranger,
he was enquiring of the overseer in the
green roundabout, whether he had for
Sale "ANY MORE LEFT OF THE SAME SORT?"

The AVixnebaoo Indians and the
Government Coramisstoners liad a con
ferance on Monday last at Apollo Hall
in the presence of a large company of
ladies and gentlemen who attended on the
interesting occasion. Little Hill, the
Indian orator, who was fantastically at
tired after the manner of his tribe, made
an address, which was delivered in an
impassioned and somewhat graceful style.
i no auuress was interpreted, i lie ora
tor handed to thc Commissioners a pro
position from the Indians, in writing, sta
ting what they were willing to do. It was
understood that Little required from the
Government Commissioners an answer
in writing. Being indisposed. Little Hill
retired after shaking hands with the com-
j mi-sioncrs. Judge Partus replied, and
intimated the desire of the Government
to remove the Winnebagoes where the
whites would not interrupt them, with
some other kindred remarks. The Coun
cil broke up, after all the Indians, in pas
sing, had shaken hands with thc Com
missioners. .
The Union of Monday night having
stated that thc Indians would again as
semble in conference yesterday morning
at Apollo Hall, and that it would proba
bly be their last meeting, there was a
number of ladies and gentlemen in attend
j ance at ten o'clock and in the course of
the morning. But there was no confer-
j ence, and the company was much disap- j
pointed. We happened to be present !
when a despatch arrived at Mayer s Ho

clerstood from one of the attendants,) which
was afterwards interpreted to the Little
FROM MEXICO.
From the New Orleans Picayune of
October 6.3 ' "
Advices from Mexico were received by
the James L. Day which appear to us of
the utmost importance. The American
Flag of the 2Gih ultimo, published at
Matamoras, announced the receipt of late i
news there from" the city of Mexico di- '
rect, but the details given are not of im- j
portance. ' We , are able to announce, I
however, most positively, '; that letters'.
were rcici ku i;i tins unv uy me iay,
by a gentleman deeply interested in Mcx-
ican all airs, and from a very responsible
foreign source in Matutnoras, which say
that Gen. Almonte has been appointed
Prpcidont of Mevien- ah rvrrn,. nn.-l
(len. Aanta Anna generalissimo of the
armies of Mexico; and further, that San
ta Anna was then engaged in raising and
organizing troops, intending to take the
field in person in the North. This news
wili strike every one as important in va
rious aspects, but it is especially so as it
may bear upon the armistice granted by
Gen Taylor to Gen. Ampudia's forces,
and again upon the dependence which
placed m the pacific mtention3 of Santa

LATE FROM SANTA FE.
A correspondent of the St. Iouis Re
publican communicates thc subjoined in
telligence, brought by a company of tra
ders from Santa Fe. Not placing any
confidence in the report of the assembling
of a large Mexican force in that quarter,
weonlv regard it of interest as showing
the continued quietude of our camp:
"Independence, October 3, 1810.
"The arrival of another company from
Santa Fe is just announced by one of
their number, a little in advance of the j
rest. They are twenty-four days out
from Santa Fc, having left there the. 9ih
of September. Every thing seems to
have been quiet in and around thc place,
but the news from below is a little start-
"It was currently reported (when thc
company left) that five thousand men, thc
flower of the Mexican force, were on
their way up from below, and near Chi
huahua, to meet and attack Gen." Kear
ney, and that it was the General's deter
mination to leave a sufficient number un
der the command of Col. Doniphan, and
take the remainder below, if possible, to
meet Gen. Wool's division of our army.
- "Our armv at Santa Fo were garrison
ing the post rapidly,-and a flag-stafi" of
nine, two lumdred feet hiHr, was m course
ol erection, to receive the stars ana
stripes that Joat so proudly over our land.
Gen. Ke rnfy- had his headquarters, at
the Governor's castle, and had given one
or two'splcndid fandangoes." - ' ' " '
