When coldness wraps this suffering clay,
Oh! whither strays the immortal mind?
It cannot die, it mint not stay,
But loaves its darkened dust behind,
Then unembodied dot h it trace •
By steps each planet's heavenly way,
Or till at once Os), realms of space,
A thing of eyes that all survey ?
Eternal, boundless, untlecayed,
•A thought unseen, but seeing all,
All, in earth or skies displayed,
Shall it survey, shall it recall.
Each fainter trace that niemory holds
So darkly of departed years,
In one broad glance the soul befiolds,
And all that was at once appears.
Before creation peopled earth,
Its eye shall roll thromth chaos back,
And where the fairest heaven had birth,
The spirit trace its rising track.
And where the future mars or makes
Its glance o'er all dilate, to he,
While sun is quenched or system breaks,
Fixed in its own eternity.
Above, or Love, or Hate. or Fear,
It lives all passionless - and pine,
An ago shall nee like earthly year,
Its years like moments shall endurei -.-
Away, away, without a wing,
O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly,
A nameless, an eternal thing,
Forgetting what it was to die,.

THE CHOCTAWS FAREWELL.—We have
just given the Address of George W. Har
kins, the present Chief of the Choctaw Na
tion, to the American People, a dispassion
ate perusal. It is a fearless exposition of
the .hardships which this insulted people
have manifestly. endured,.
If the character and feeling of this rein
nant of a once powerful race, were properly
considered, we would, as friends to humani
ty, truly sympathise with them on their ta
•kinv leave of their homes and the braves of
their threliithers, to take up their abode in
the deserts west of the Mississippi. hedged
in as they were,, by two evils, they chose
that which they thought the least--they
would rather sutler and be free, than live
under the degrading influence of Laws, when
their voice could not he heard in their for
mation. Much as they have been wronged by
the State of Mjssissippj, they still retain an
ardent wish for her happiness and prosperry:
They humbly pray that those of another
age and gdneration may not feel the ef
fects of the oppressive measures which have
been so illiberally dealt out to them, and
.that peace and happiness 'Way -be their re
, ward. Amid the gloom and horror of the
present separation, they fondly cherish a
TiirpcTiliat faywill ere Tong
tined home, (which nothing short of the vi
lest treachery can wrest from them,)_aid that
they may live free.
It ha. been said that their removal was
their - own voluniarY act—but such is not the
case. Painfhl in the extreme is the man
