BY FIZZY CLZZT. [Those who hare read Poe’s “Annabel Lee,” will appreciate the following parody, as exquisite in kind xs was the original of that gifted genius, whose lamp was soon extinguished:] ‘Tis a dozen or so years ago, Somewhere in the West countree, That a nice girl lived, as vo lloo*ien knew, Bv the name of Deborah Lee ; Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe, But Dcliorah by me. Mow I was green, and she was green, Asa summer’s squash might be, Anti we loved as warmly us other folks, I and my Deborah Lee— With a lore that the lasses of Hoosienloni Coveted her and me. But somehow it happened a long ago, In the angueish West countree, That a chill March morning gave the shake* To my beautiful Deborah Lee ; Ami the grim steum doctor (curse him) came, And bore her away from me— The doctor and death—old partners they— In the angueish countree. The angels wanted her up in Ilearen, (But (hey never asked for me.) And that is the reason, I rather guess, In the agueish West countree, That the cold March wind and the doctor and death Took off my Deborah Lee— My beautiful Deborah Lee— From the warm sunshine and the opening flower, And took her away from me. Our love was as strong as a six-horse team, Or the love of folks older than we, And possibly wiser titan we, But death, with the aid of doctor and steam, Was rather too many for me; He dosed the peeper and silenced the breath Os my sweetheart, Deborah Lee ; And her form lies cold in the prairie mold, Silent and cold —ah, me ! The foot of the hunter shall press her grave, And the prairie’s sweet wild flowers, In their odorous beauty around it wave, Through all the sunny hours ‘I he still, bright summer hours And bird shall sing in the tufted grass, And the nectar-laden bee, \\ ith his dreary hum on his gauze wings pass— She wakes no more to me, Ah! never more to me! Iho the wild birds sing and the wild flowers spring She wakes no more to me ! \ et oft, in the hush of the dim, still night, A vision of beauty I see, Gliding solt to my bedside—a phantom of light, Dear, beautiful, Deborah— . My bride that was to be, And 1 wake to mourn that the doctor and death And the cold March wind, sho’d stop the breath Os my darling Deborah Lee— Adorable Deborah Lee; Thai angels should want her in Heaven Before they wanted me ! [From tlie Home Journal ] The Wolf Ht (he Dour. nr MRS. A. M. P. ANNAN. You’re tired, dear mother, your cheek is quite pale; Won’t you lay down your sewing and tell me a tale Os faiiies that sent, in the good times of old, Rich banquets, and jewels, and purses of gold? Not about little Riding Hood crossing the moor— Was tllO wolf that she uiet lik our wolf at the door ? Shall we never walk out where the houses so tall Have lace o’er each window, and lamps in each hall ? Where the curly haired children play over the grass ? We might hear their guy laughter and talk as we’d pass. Must you ait here and work until your fingers are sore ? I think we might steal by the wolf at the door! I’ll lay down your work—ob, how warm it will be— My Pice little cloak !—why, I thought’twas for me! Once, always in garments as fine 1 was dressed, But I shan't ask for this, if you think ’twould be best; Yet I can’t understand what you told me before, That it might, for a while, keep the wolf from the door. The clothes I have on are 80 thin and so worn! I try to be thankful, they never stay torn ; Rut I should like some new unes, with tassels and braid, And stockings not shrunken, nor faded, nor frayed; Aud a pair of new shoes—how they’d creek ou the (loor! Rut then he might hear them—the wolf at the door! The room's growing dark, and I can’t see to play Ry the light oF the lamp that, .Lines over the way, And the shadows that flit o’er its gleam on the wall They frighten me, coming so shapeless and tall; Ob, how 1 would beg for a candle once more, If you thought he’d not see us—the wolf at the door! And the hro on the hearth, it has died away quite— Won’t you kindle anew one, dear mother to night? Don’t you love the soft dames as they crackel and glow ? They would warm your poor hands that are cold as the snow ; And the kettle would sing—hark!—is that the w ind’s roar ? Oh, mother!—l tear ’tis the wolf at the door! Well, hear me my prayers, and I’ll lie down in bed, And while your soft arm is passed under my head, Won't you tell me again to be trusting and Jbrave, Though I march over thorns on my way to the grave ? To keep sin from my heart lest it eat to the core— Dear mother, is sin like the wolf at the door ? And tell me of ma nsions still grander than those Where the rich children play and the grass greenly grows; Where they’ll give me bright robes aud a crown for my head, And on fruits from the gardens of God I’ll be fed; Ob, mother! to think there we’ll live evermore, And be in no fear of the wolf at the door ! amcflaat&AgY. We see frequent allusions, says the New York Journal of Commerce to the supposed quantity of spurious champagne drank in this country, accom panied with very erroneous statistics of the amount annually imported. Os course it does not follow that all the wine brought here from the wine-grow ing districts is genuine, but the fact that it is im ported relieves this country from the responsibili ty of is manufacture. During the last fiscal year the total imports, as officially recorded, were 2,954,202 bottles, before paying duty, freight, and other charges, at $1,386,7t>0, or about 4<> cents per bottle. Os these imports, 2,923,980 bottles (near ly 99 per cent.) came from the Atlantic ports of France. Itemed) for Huts. A fiiend of ours, and an old and successful far mer, gave us a few days since the following reme dy for rats. lie says it is infallible : “ Mix a small quantity of calomel with a hand ful of flour, and sprinkle thinly over the surface of a plate, and set the plate where the vermin ‘most do congregate.’ In a short time, you will find that the rats have vacated the premises.” This is the best and safest remedy we have ever knowu. Strychnine and Arsenic are dangerous, and then the rats die in their holes, and thus become more offensive than when alive. —BainLriJgt Arg ms. At Home.

When a “Jury of the vicinage” gives judgment . against & man, where trill he get a verdict? I Echo answers, “not at Charleston aurely.”— I A then? Bonner, EflTerta of Railroad KalerprUe. The astonishing progress of our country in ma terial wealth is evident to all. The rapid increase of population, the extension of cultivated fields, the sudden growth of cities, the immense annual addition to the productive resources of the coun try, nay, the extraordinary creation even, of thriv ing States in the very centie of Territories that lately were an unbrokeu wilderness, are facts in our history as marvelous as they are common. This is not due alone to the sudden ingress of population from abroad. It is not the result oi the sudden impulsion of an overcrowded popula tion from the older States upon the virgin lands of the great West. The marks of improvement are as visible iu tlie old as in the new States, in the centre of commerce as in the Territories just occu pied by the hardy pioneers of our civilization. Much of tlie prosperity that is such a prominent characteristic of our couutry springs from the gigantic railroad enterprise in which the people j have embarked. What the gold bearing strata have done for California and are now accomplish ing fur Jeffersou Territory, the local railroads of the various States have accomplished and are still doing for each State of the Enion. They have added to the wealth of every county through which they pass more than the unexpected discovery of auriferous veins would have done. They have stimulated industry, which, by its aggregate results, has surprised the mo6t sanguine and disappointed the cautious statician. Let one who twenty years ago had traversed the interior of Georgia and noted the iudolent habits and careless mein of its iuhabitauts, devoted more to tlie sports of the field or the stream than to the labors of the farm, lounging sluggishly around the crossroad tavern, or listlessly enjoying repose be neath the ruder porch of their rustic homesteads, or the thick-branch trees that overshadow them— now pass through (he same districts, aud he will find no traces of their former life. The same men and women occupy the lands; the same grand out lines of natural scenery remain ; but bow changed the scene ! Life, energy, enterprise and industry have girded up the siuews elasticity to the movemenis of the people. The fields ure filled with a wealth of production.that betokens intelli gent enterprise. Comfort, even luxury, marks the tormer rude country cottages, and the whole State is alive with busy, thrifctul toil. . n The/iron hoi*Se, traversing the country formerly so iar removed from markets as to render labor beyond what was necessary to produce the rude necessaries of life, useless, has afforded them an incentive to effort. Their lands have quadrupled in value, and every article of production finds a ready purchaser.— The great State railroad that has made coru worth a dollar and a half per bushel has done the work. Nineteen millions of dollars expended by Georgia ou railroads have added 4i220,U00,<X0 to her real estate, creating as by arts of magic a capital that has revolutionized the industry of the coiumou-’ wealth. Massachusetts has expended $70,000,000 in works of internal improvement, and Boston alone ha3 re ceived from it more thau a duplication of the value of real estate, while the entire area of the State i has been more than trippled in value. When New York entered upon her career of do- ! mestic improvement, her taxable property was on ly #312,000,000. She has now spent on her rail roads aud canals #1'J5,000.000 and the valuation of her property has risen to $ 1,400,000,00D. In Virginia and East Tennessee the value of lands in the neighborhood ot the Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad in six years has been raised from $28,000,000 to #58,000,000. The lands in the vicinity of tlie Orleans, Jack son and Great Northern Railroad, in Louisiana and Southern Mississippi, were entirely unattractive at the small pi ice of twenty-five cents per acre.— They cannot now be bought for ten dollars per acre. In tiiat region of wilderness, the sounds of indus try, the culture of taste, the thrift, are every where visible. Population springs up along the line of this great artery of travel, and even sterility grows productive. Such facts show what is to be expected by the present endeavors to extend our works of home improvement, or to aid those uhich propose to connect this city with the plans of Texas and the great South Sea. What New York has done for her commercial capital is now in progress for New Orleans and the entire Southwest. The proposi tions to aid railroad enterprises should be viewed with this statement of facts before us. We should survey what has been written in the history of the progress of the whole country as the result of rail road enterprise, alien we are called upon to con tribute Slate or individual aid to new enterprises, and we shall bring to aid our decision enlarged views and a liberality of feeling. There seems, at the present moment, to be a need of these aids to public deliberation as veil as individual action.— N. Y. Pie. “Gunpowder Plot” —Attempt to Destroy a Town. —The inhabitants of Napoleon, Ark., have been considerably excited during the past few days by the discovery of a plot to desiry that town by means of turning upon it the current of the Arkansas river. Napoleon is situated on a narrow strip of land at the junction of the Missis sippi and Arkansas rivers, and for several miles back the two rivers are only separated by a strip of ground about four hundred yards In width. A week or two since a train of powder was laid across this narrow point, and Monday night the match was applied, A terrific explosion ensued, aud the earth was torn up to an extent which al lowed the water from the Arkansas river to find its way across into the Mississippi. Already has a strong current formed in the breach, which is hourly widening and deepening, and present indi cations at no distant period the town will be swept away. A planter in the vicinity whose interest would be greatly enhanced by the change in the current of the Arkansas river, is suspected of hav ing perpetrated the deed, but nothing positive is known. —Memphis A rgns. Pardoning Him Oct.— Gov. Houston is some thing of a wag as well as a statesman. An officer of the State Prison, who had held his place for six years, wus'about to be removed, when he came to Austin, during the session of the Legislature, with a flattering list of testimonials as to his char acter, and the excellent manner in which he had fulfilled all his functions. These were all satisfac tory enough, but the principle of lotation in office overrode all other considerations ; the place was wauted for a political friend, and his removal de termined upon. But to break the fall as gently as possible, the Governor adopted a facetious tone and style in a final interview : “ You say,” said Gen. IL, addressing the gentleman on whom the axe was about to fall, “ you say that your conduct has invariably been good ?” “ Yes, sir.” “ And you have been in the penitentiary six years ?’’— “ I have.” “ Well, you have been there quite long enough —l pardon yon out /” More curious stories are told of the last hours of Burton, the deceased comedian. It is an ascer tained fact that he revised the proof of his own obituary shortly before his death. He had a won derful horror of duns, but during the last week of his illness, a youth, w ith an unpaid bill was acci dentally admitted to hi> bed-siae. The dying act or delivered a severe lecture abounding in uncom plimentary epithets. The dunning youth, however, did not lack “pluck,” but responded with vehe mence, concluding by telling him that a man using such language at the poit t of death, would ineffa bly go to the bad place. “Well,” responded Bur ton, “ when I get there, I will play ‘The Toodles’ (a celebrated farce) for you.” He afterwards re lated this incident to one of his physicians, with wonderful gusto, adding “ I had hint there, Doctor, didn’t I?” The “ Fifth Avenoodles” of New York are in distress because a tailoring establishment is to be open in their charmed precincts. As Willis says, this advent of the clothing men is a direct in fringement on their avenudity. Can’t Keep Up.—The Chattanooga Advertiser, of the 15th inst., says The Etowah Iron Work’s of Mark A.

Edward Bates.—This prominent candidate for the Presidency, is a native of Virginia, is now in the 67th year of his age, and is the father of sev enteen children.

Sleep. There is no fact more clearly established in the physiology of man than this, that the brain ex pends its energies and itself during the hours of wakefulness, and that these are reenperated dur ing sleep ; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditure, the brain withers—this is insanity. Thus it is that, in early English history, persons w ho were condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs; thus it is, also, that those who are starved to death be come insane ; the brain is not nourished, and they cannot sleep. The practical inferences are these : First. Those who think tnost, who do most brain w ork, require niost^sleep. Second. That time saved from necessary sleep is infallibly destructive to iniud, body, and es- j tile. Third.♦Givejyourself, your children, your ser i rants —give all that are under, you the fullest ! amount of sleep they will take, by compelling them to go to bed at some regular early hour, and to rise in the morning the moment they awake ; and, within a fortnight, nature, with almost the regularity cf the rising sun, will unloose the bonds of sleep the moment enough repose has been se cured tor the wants of the system. This is the only safe and sufficient rule —and as to the question how much sleep any one requires, eaeh must be a rule for bimself—great Nature will never fail to w rite it out to the observer under the regulations just even. [Dr. Spicer. Defence of Reserved People. —We have not been in the habit of admiring this class of our fel low beings ; but it is as well to hear what they have to say on the other side. A writer in Fra ser’s Magazine thus gives them the preference : There is in such characters, it inay be, a sensi bility fine and true, that sinks itself deep ; too delicate to mix with vulgar streams. If you would taste the purity of this water, you must dig labo riously for it. There is, it may be, a passionate power, fervent and concentrated; too full to drib ble out ; too strong to dissipate itself in pretty phrases and agreeable expressions of sentiment ; or, perhaps, an intelligence high and extended, to which views are granted infinitely beyond the hor izon of the general eye. * * * * xj, e re . served man, therefore, is an objeet of dislike and distrust ; but he is also a subject of interest. He repels confidence, but he excites attention. * * It is not agreeable fioru a high window to survey the movements of a crowd below ?—dancing, laughing, leaping, fighting, crying, kissing—to an alyze their agitations—to smile at their disturban ces—to be yourself secure and still—a looker on who is not looked at —to be audience to a drama, ami to criticise the actors who cannot criticise you ? This is the privilege of the reserved man. He conceals his emotions, he buries his feelings, he masks his passions. lie controls his features, every muscle is under his command ; there is no such thing with him as a spontaneous movement. He revels in a continual victory. He baffles curi osity, he defeats expectation, he destroys hope. He wears his shroud belore he is in the tomb.— The inquisitive crowd will pluck at it, but will draw back shivering when they feel how cold it is. They wonder, they fear, they admire—and they admire with good reason. The power of conceal ment is in itself worthy of admiration ; the men who wears so strong an armor must needs be a strong man, and it is the consciousness of a valua ble possession that suggests the necessity for a defence. A Sharp Transaction. —An exchange paper states that a fellow in Venago county, Pa., profit ed in the following manner by the “ oil excite ment” now prevailing so extensively in the West ern and Northwestern part of Pennsylvania. He bored a bole in his land, poured a barrel of oil in it, and then called his neighbors to see the large yield. The result was that he sold his land for #•2,000 in cash, pocketed the money, oiled his boots and “slid.” Color of Houscs,--\l’liiter Aspect. In landscape gardening, the color of the house is an important feature. White, the mo9t common, presents too strong a contrast with the lawn and trees in the summer; and in the winter, when the ground is covered with snow, not enough. It gives the house a cold and dreary aspect at this season, when it should be warm and enlivening. The majority of people adorn their grounds and paint their houses with the single view to their ugreeahleness in the summer, and seem to be in sensible to the fact that a landscape can be made us beautiful in winter as in the season of verdure. To be this, plant evergreens instead of deciduous trees, and give your house and buildings some neutral tint—for instance, a light stone color, umber, straw, or a light salmon; the latter of which contrasts very agreeably with the snow and evergreens. Deciduous trees should not be neglected; but it is rarely that we see a mansion accompanied with too many of those of perpetual foliage. For sbel- ’ ter, the latter should be planted on the north of the dwelling—perhaps in a belt—and set singly, j or grouped, in other places, as taste may direct.— In this manner, the aspect will be agreeable at all seasons. [D. W. L. in Genesee New York Farmer. Hotel Charges at Charleston. A considerable complaint is made that the Hotel keepers at Charleston have determined to raise their charges to $5 per day, during the Convention. That is very well, and only in accordance with the spirit and the practice of the times. The difficulty, however, may be very easily obviated, at least, so far as the members of the Convention are con cerned. Party conventions are very rapidlv get ting to be considered the government, and the people ought to pay their expenses. Just let Con gress pass a law to pay them S3OOO and mileage, and then the a day will make no difference.— Corner Slone. As “ Able” Kditor. —Every judicious and ob servant man will concur in the following views, presented by the editor of one of the best conduct ed journals in the Old Dominion, the Alexandria Gazette: Many people estimate the ability of a newspa per and the industry and talents of its editor, by the quantity of editorial matter which it contains. It is comparatively an easy task fora frothy writer to pour out daily, columns of words — words, upon any aod all subjects. His ideas may tlow in “ one weak, washy, everlasting flood,” and his command of language may enable him to string them togeth er like bunches of onions, and yet his paper may t>e a meagre and poor concern. But what is the labor and toil of such a man who displays his “ leaded matter ” ever so largely, to that inipoaed on the judicious, well informed editor, who exer cises his vocation with an hourly consciousness of its responsibilities and duties, aud devotes himself to the conduct of his paper with the same care and assiduity that a sensible lawyer bestows upou a suit, or a human physician upon a patient, without re gard to show or display ! Indeed, the mere writing part of editing a papei, is but a small portion of the work. The industry is not even shown there. The care, the time employd in selecting, is lar more important, aud the tact of a good editor is better shown by bis selections than any thing else; and that we all know is half the battle. But, as we have said, an editor is estimated, and his labor understood and appreciated, by the general con duct of his paper—its tone —its temper—its uni form, consistent course—its principles—its aims— its manliness —its dignity—its propriety. To pre serve these as they should be preserved, is enough to occupy fully the time and attention of any man. If to this be added the general supervision of the newspaper establishment, which most editors have to encounter, the wonder is how they can find time or room to write at all. Etna ok Artificial Light on Vegetation.— In answer to an enquiry on this subject, a corres pondent of the Loudon Builder stales : “ I planted vegetables in a place where the day light could not penetrate, over which I suspended a parathneoil lamp, with a reflector to throw the light upon the plant. They have grown up a beautiful dark green. I have also lighted a green house with lamps every night, and liud it not only increases vegetation but gives a beautiful deep tiuge to the plants.” The New York Herald is gradually working round for Senator Douglas. In its issue of the Ist of March it says: “We do not yield to any one in appreciation of of Mr. Douglas’ undeniable ability. He is a bril liant man, au experienced statesman, and would make a oapitai President.” VOLUME XXXVIII.—NO. 1. Tlie Contented Farmer. Once upon a time, Fredrick, King of Pruasia, aurnaiaed “ Old Fritz,” took a ride, and espied an old Urmer ploughing bis acre bv the wayside, cheerily singing his melody. , “ Tou well off, old man,” said the king. . I)oes tbia * cre belong to you, on which you so industriouly labor ?” No, sir, replied the farmer, who knew not that it was the king. w L am not r ’ as plough for wages.” farther W J ’'° H g6t * aSked tL ° k ‘ D S Light groschen,” (about twenty cents) said the farmer. •That is not much,” replied the king; “can you get a long with this?” “Get along and have something left.” “ How is that ?” The farmer smiled and said—” Well if I must tell you ; two groschen for myself and wife ; and With two I pay my old debts; two I lend away, and two 1 give away for the Lord’s sake.” “ This is a mystery which I cannot solve,” replied the king. “Then 1 will solve it for you,” said the farmer. 1 have two old parents at home, who kept me when 1 was weak and needed help, and now that they arc weak aud need help I keep them. This is my debt, towards which I pay two groschen a day. The third pair of groschen, which I lend ay, l spend for my children, that they may learn something good and receive a Christian instruction. 1 hi.-% will come handy to me and my wife when we get old. \\ ith the last two groschen I maintain two sick sisters, whom I would not be compelled to keep—this I give for the Lord’s sake.” The king, well pleased with his answer, said— Bravely spoken, old man. Now I will also give you something to guess. Have vouever seen me before i” “ Never, ’ said the farmer. “ In less than five minutes vou shall see me fifty times, aud carry in your pocket fifty ©f my like nesses.” “ This is a ridJle which I cannot unravel,” said the farmer. I hen I will do it for you,” replied the king. . Thrusting his hand into his pocket, and counting him fifty bran new gold pieces into tils hand, stamo ed with Ids royal likeness, he said to the astonished farmer, who knew not what was coming— “ The coiu is genuine, for it also comes from our . Lord (iod, and I am his paymaster. I bid you adieu.” Startling ID mor —. “Occasional,” of the Phil adelphia Press, who occasionally tells the truth, writes from Washington on the 16th instant: A rumor which I am disposed to believe, after thorough inquiry, is in circulation in tliis city, to the affect that the Administration has advised and will support the secession of the Southern dele gates troin the Charleston Convention, should Douglas be nominated. A Cabinet Minister is said to have stated to a distinguished Northern Demo crat, two or three days ago, that this scheme was arranged, and he did not hesitate to add that it was very far from improbable that the South would take possession of the Union Constitutional Con vention, which is to be assembled at Baltimore on the 9th of May, in order to array the Southern peo ple against Douglas, should he succeed in overcom ing his opponents at the National Convention.— T on need not be surprised if this project is carried out. That is in contemplation Ido not doubt. Excessive Smoking. —Dr. Seymour, an English physician, in a “ Letter upon Private Lunatic Asy lums,” thus gives his experience of the evil effects of excessive smoking: “ Some of the revelations on this subject are startling. Some yoing men still in their teens smoke forty or fifty cigars daily. Young gentle men of rank have as:Ured me that at college they have smoked from five in the afternoon until throe or four in the morning, for weeks together. The effect of excessive smoking is to depress the cir culation, the heart becomes weak, irregular in its action, and the pulse is scarcely to be felt. The patient becomes frightened, and loses all resolu tion. Once a bold rider, be cannot mount his horse ; a carriage passing rapidly in the streets alarrna him ; his appetite fails ; his mind fills with hor rors—imaginary crimes and punishment. This state of things sometimes continues for years. At length, the patient dies—often, very often, sud denly. The case is explained. The muscular structure of the heart—ofjthat organ which is to distribute strength and power to every pait of the system —is imperfect in its action ; the left side is | thin, and, in some cases in which sudden death I has occurred, there is little more than a strip of muscular fibre left on that side. Excessive smoking is anew vice. How many young men at school and college used to smoke fif ty years ago? Some half dozen. How many do now ? The answer is—legion. Boys of twelve years oid are seen early in the morning walking in the streets with cigars in their mouths. Youths have consulted me who have just come from the new schools, now called colleges, confessing that they have been in the habit of smoking constantly; and these are lads just hop'mg to begin the busi ness of life. Virginia and Ohio. —The Governor of Ohio re fused to surrender Francis Merriam and Owen Brown on the demand of the authorities of Virgin ia, on the plea, that no enactment, of that State clothed him with the power of making such sur render, and 2d, that the requisition did not state w ith precision where the offence was committed. Governor Letcher, in his Message to the Legis lature of Virginia, on the 14th inst., cites a case in which on the 22d of February last, Governor Dennison makes a requisition upon him for the surrender of a fugitive from justice. He concludes his message with this paragraph : If the course which ha 9 been pursued by the authorities of the States of Ohio anyiowa is to be come the settled policy of the noD-slaveholding States towards us, we must adopt such measures for protection against these gross outrages upon our rights as will be Buited to the case. We must adopt retaliatory measures, and thus show them that we are determined to resist, with becoming spirit, every encroachment upon us, and every re fusal to comply with constitutional obligations and laws intended for our protection. What these re taliatory measures shall be, I leave to the wisdom of the General Assembly. A “Ons Horse Town.”— The Mobile Tribune has the following : Some few years ago a New Orleans paper said that Mobile was nothing but a’ “one-borse town,” and in a short period it would be nothing but a “wood yard” for through boats. The wish was father to the thought. At that time, say five years ago, the population of Mobile was estimated to be not exceeding 30,000, and now no one estimates it at less than 40,000 or 45,000, and it is well known that the city is increasing faster than any city in South, Memphis excepted. Yesterday the Battle House alone fed over 700 persons, and we have been told that every boardiug house and hotel, where known, are fflled to overflowing. Anew hotel is indispensable, and it must be a large one, for next year’s business. So much for our “one horse town.” The Amazon River. The Amazon, the largest river in the world has an area of drainage nearly three times as large as that of all the rivers of Europe that empty them selves into the Atlantic. This plain is entirely covered with a dense primeval forest, through which the only paths are those made by the river and its innumerable tributaries. This forest is lit erally impenetrable. Humboldt remarks that two mission stations might be only a few miles apart and vet the residents would require a day and ft half to visit each other; along the windings of small streams. Even the wild animals got involved in such impenetrable masses o£ wood that they (even the jaguar) live for a long time in the trees, a terror to the monkeys whose domain they have invaded. The trees often measure from eight to twelve feet in diameter ; and the intervals are oc cupied by shrub-like plants, which here in these tropical regions become ahorescent. The origin of the Amazon is unknown ; it is navigable for two tliousaud miles from the ocean ; it i9 nearly one hundred miles wide at the mouth, and in sons# places six hundred feet deep; and its torrent pro jects as it were into the ocean, more than three hundred miles, perceptibly altering its waters at this distance from American shores. Every one who destroys a life destroys, in one sense, an entire external world, in destroying the power of perceiving and enjoying it.
