NS ey OUR LITTLE ONE. BY FLORENCE PERCY. One sweet unblighted blossom yet Left of my wreath of happiness— The frosts which fell on other joys Kindly spared me this. Only fourteen bright months have smiled Upon my darling baby’s brow; And yet there seems a thoughtful look Across it, even now. Her face is pure—not beautiful— Her voice is gladsome as a bird’s, And sweetly does she prattle o’er Her soft, imperfect words. And then her laugh—-how joyously It ripples from her rosy lips, Like music from a forest brook, Wherein the wild bird dips. I look upon her face with joy, Shadowed by saddened thought the while, For ever as I gaze I see Her father’s eyes and smile. And there come wild and vain regrets, Till struggling tears my eyes o’erbrim, And through their mist I trace How like she is to him. And he alas! is wandering far Beyoud the ocean’s surging foam, A stranger in a stranger land, Afar from love and home. And musing on him every hour, How often I have striven to teach The little one to lisp his name In broken, babyish speech. And the long bright day is done, And darkness dims the faded west I clasp her fondly to my heart, To lull her into rest. ? And as I watch her lashes droop, And sleep her smiling eyes bedim, What wonder that my heart goes up In earnest prayer for HIM? And if she hear the cherished name That lingers fondly on my lips, With soft eyes brightening suddenly Through slumber’s half eclipse— She clasped her little dimpled hands, And softly smiling, looks afar Where brightly roam the starry bands, And sweetly lisps ‘‘ Papa !’? One bright, unblighted blossom yet Left of my wreath of happiness— The frost which fell on other joys Have only brightened tus ! Z& A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing from the city of Para,'in speaking of the River Amazon, says: “This is a beautiful river, lined with evergreen trees. The town has a very handsome appearance from the river; the houses are two, three and four stories; painted white ; the streets are rather narrow, but all pave’. There are a number of fine plazas with shade trees planted around them; but otherwise they are rather neglected. There are a good many splendid gardens, also rather neglected, filled with tropical fruits, which are exceedingly fine and very cheap. Pine apples are two to four cents each, and the most delicious oranges, two and three for a cent, and every other kind of fruit in proportion. The city of Para contains upwards of 35,000 inhabitants, and about one-third of this number are blacks and slavesat that. As to the expedition, the boats are being put together at the navy yard here, where the Brazilians give us every facility that is in their power, They have not the conveniences of our navy yards, but are much more accommodating. — We hope to be ready to stand up the river in about six weeks, when, if anything of interest occurs, you may hear from meagain. The weather is not warmer here at present than it is in New York in July. These boats are intended to explore all the Peruvian tributaries of the great Amazon.”’ WHAT THE CALIFORNIANS THINK OF THE TELEGRAPH.—The San Jose Telegraph says that an anxious Californian, expecting news of the confirmation of his title by the Land Commission, was seen leaning against one of the telegraphic posts in this city, with his ear turned upwards, intently listening to the humming sound which the wires occasionally gave forth. Impatient at not being able to comprehend the mysterious intelligence, he addressed a merchant, “Compadre,”’ said he, “you understand English ; listen, and tell me what the telegraph says.” SHIPMENTS OF TREASURE.

NS ey OUR LITTLE ONE. BY FLORENCE PERCY. One sweet unblighted blossom yet Left of my wreath of happiness— The frosts which fell on other joys Kindly spared me this. Only fourteen bright months have smiled Upon my darling baby’s brow; And yet there seems a thoughtful look Across it, even now. Her face is pure—not beautiful— Her voice is gladsome as a bird’s, And sweetly does she prattle o’er Her soft, imperfect words. And then her laugh—-how joyously It ripples from her rosy lips, Like music from a forest brook, Wherein the wild bird dips. I look upon her face with joy, Shadowed by saddened thought the while, For ever as I gaze I see Her father’s eyes and smile. And there come wild and vain regrets, Till struggling tears my eyes o’erbrim, And through their mist I trace How like she is to him. And he alas! is wandering far Beyoud the ocean’s surging foam, A stranger in a stranger land, Afar from love and home. And musing on him every hour, How often I have striven to teach The little one to lisp his name In broken, babyish speech. And the long bright day is done, And darkness dims the faded west I clasp her fondly to my heart, To lull her into rest. ? And as I watch her lashes droop, And sleep her smiling eyes bedim, What wonder that my heart goes up In earnest prayer for HIM? And if she hear the cherished name That lingers fondly on my lips, With soft eyes brightening suddenly Through slumber’s half eclipse— She clasped her little dimpled hands, And softly smiling, looks afar Where brightly roam the starry bands, And sweetly lisps ‘‘ Papa !’? One bright, unblighted blossom yet Left of my wreath of happiness— The frost which fell on other joys Have only brightened tus ! Z& A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, writing from the city of Para,'in speaking of the River Amazon, says: “This is a beautiful river, lined with evergreen trees. The town has a very handsome appearance from the river; the houses are two, three and four stories; painted white ; the streets are rather narrow, but all pave’. There are a number of fine plazas with shade trees planted around them; but otherwise they are rather neglected. There are a good many splendid gardens, also rather neglected, filled with tropical fruits, which are exceedingly fine and very cheap. Pine apples are two to four cents each, and the most delicious oranges, two and three for a cent, and every other kind of fruit in proportion. The city of Para contains upwards of 35,000 inhabitants, and about one-third of this number are blacks and slavesat that. As to the expedition, the boats are being put together at the navy yard here, where the Brazilians give us every facility that is in their power, They have not the conveniences of our navy yards, but are much more accommodating. — We hope to be ready to stand up the river in about six weeks, when, if anything of interest occurs, you may hear from meagain. The weather is not warmer here at present than it is in New York in July. These boats are intended to explore all the Peruvian tributaries of the great Amazon.”’ WHAT THE CALIFORNIANS THINK OF THE TELEGRAPH.—The San Jose Telegraph says that an anxious Californian, expecting news of the confirmation of his title by the Land Commission, was seen leaning against one of the telegraphic posts in this city, with his ear turned upwards, intently listening to the humming sound which the wires occasionally gave forth.
