UY PEHTITH, Twilight shades are deepening round me; Musing-wrapt in thought-alone Vroamily I watch the moonbeams, Hear the gentle dove's low moan. 'Fancy thirows her mantle o'er me; Weird like forms aind visien bright Tako the place of dusky shadows Chanige the gloom to matchless white. Fairy soon. ad realms of beauty 'lise before te. Limpid strehams, Bearing si)very waters onward, Catch the sunlight's golden benims. Boul-like muslo lingers sweetly 'Mid th'e fair enchanted bowers. Oders sweet are wafted near me Fragrance breathing from the flowers. Fleecy oloudiets float above mo; Whispering breezes klis my brow. Rising-now muy footsteps wander, Scarcely heeding where or how. Lo I What fornsadvanco to meet me Fron' yon myrtle-shaded glen? Friends-long absent-fondly cherished, Clasp me in their arms again. Loved ones from the bright home-circle Friondship's treasures-these are near. Those, too, who in death have slumbe-ed Groot me gladly; all are bre. Hark I Methinks I heard a whisper; Maglo scented there, in thant tone; "Break the spell; dissolve the vision" Darkness come's-I am alone. mY rATHER, DY UKNRY It. J.acKkoN, oF GEORotA.

In thIs day emigration is not what it was twenty years ago.

The oponing of tl Amazon, will no doubt bring to the borders a number of industrious nd enterprising nien, but a great emigration, such as rapidly augments a population, will never gathor- there as long as the order of things exists which I have obs'erved in the Provinces of Para and Amazonas.
