By Mrs. Htmant. The gloomiest day hath gleams of light ; The darkest ware hath bright foam near it ; And twinkles through the cloudiest Pight Some solitary star to cheer if. The gloomiest sou! is not all gloom ; TbP saddest heart is not all sadness ; And sweetly o'er the darkest doom, There shines some lingering beam of gladness. Despair is never quite despair ; 'or life, nor death the future closes : And round the shadowy brow of care, Will hope and fancy twine theirjroges. Forgtt-Mc'Not. TO A BEE A Song by Mist JSIitford, Give thee good morrow, busy bee ! No cloud is in the sky, , , i The ring dove skims across the lea. The matin lark soars high ; Gay sun-beams kiss the dewy: flower, 'Slight breezes stir the tree! And sweet is thine own woodbine bower Good morrow, busy bee ' ! 1 Give thee good even, busy bee ! ; : The summer day is by, PTow droning beatles haunt the lea, ' And shrieking plovers cry ; 1 The light hath paled on leaf and flower. The night wind chills the tree, ' And thou well laden leav'st thjr bower. Good even, busy bee ! Chr. Box. j TO MY I.N F ANT BOY.

Nor high ambition's dream, pas heaven no kindred joy in stort To gild life's parting beam ? Oh ! bright is youth's propitious hour, And manhood's joyous prune, When pleasure's sun and beauty's flower Adorn the march of time. But age has riper, richer joy, When hearts prepared for heaven. Thrice tried,' and pure of all alloy Rejoice in sin's forgiven. When long tried love still twines her wreath, Around the brow of age ; And virtue the stern arm of death Disarms of all his rage ; ' ' ' When friend , long cherished, still are true, When virtuous offspring bloom ; ' Then man's enjoyment purest flows, Though ripening for the tomb.

" One evening the governor-general of the J islands, wfto resided on the opposite ; snore, having a large party to dinner, sent a mes-1 senger to, Zante, desiring that the band to which Gerasimo belonged would immedi- ately go dver to his house for the entertain- ment of his guests.

She still slept. Her daughter deliberately trimmed the lamp which burned by the bedside, unfolded her crimson tufDan. and shrouded her dark tresses in it. She threw her long mantle over her shoulders, passed Ruvria with swift and noiseless loot, and hurried to the prison. The English -sentries pated with sifent and steady steps before the gates, both started as the Zanteote girl siood be- rore ihem. . f Where is he ?" inquired she it a wild tone. The soldiers hesitated : bit within the gates stood an English officer. The portals were thrown open ; the officer beck oned to Zurelli. and she followed him to the inner entrance of the prison.- The door creaked oh its hjngesr Her conductor led the wav ob a narrow stone stairtase, while I the maiden followed unconsciously, with rapid and silent foot falls.

" Gerasimo!" said she. " Zurelli 1" he ! replied iu a tone of deep despair-and, co vering his fac? with his iron-bound hands, he sobbed audibly. She rose and hurried towards the English officer ; she knew lit tle of his language, but grief, even when voiceless, is expressive. She knelt to him, Hnd pointing to her lover, said in English: a Will int acb ? 1 h nffirpr shrink . his head, sorrowfully : intimating that nothing could be done. Zurelli rose and walked towards the door! she stood for a moment gazing at her lover, then darted down the staircase, through toe high prison gates, and stopped not until she reached her home. On the 1st of Augusfil8 , there was an unusual bustle in the island of Zante. Soldiers were hurrying to and fro, with their bayonets gleaming in the sunshine: drums were muming, and ar guard of six grenadiers was seen marching with muskets reversed, towards the prison; Presently the fjead March was heard from without the gates, and Gerasimo was led forth from his cell to look upon his country and its bright sunlight for the last time, and to die : "He paused a moment beneath the arch and looked back.

' : ' ' THE ITALIAN BOULEVARD. i here is no other place where human i:r ! . . . . . . t- . me wears sucn an aspeci or gaiety, as in Paris. Every thinjis. here arranged for amusement andpieasurey-mKj to a stranger, the streets, promenades and, public gardens have always the appearance of a fete day. The lively countelnance of the multitude, the air of sentiment and satisfaction which pervades every face and, above all, the great numbers of graceful and well dressed fe males abroad, unite to impress the new co mer with the idea that he is among a peo ple excited by some great occasion. But on the morrow the same scene returns: and again and again, for weeks and months, he linds himself drawn into the gay tide, mov ing, mingling, and sympathizing with it. . An American usually 'goes to Paris, after having recently left London, and he there fore sees the former place to great advan tage. ! Nothing can be njoe unlike than these two great capitals. London is dark and dirty, canopied with fogs and swimming in mud. The streets are choked with a mass of carts and coaches, lords and" por ters, ladies and loungers all crowding and hurrying along as if they were engaged in a race, and life and death were-on the issue. In Paris it is different. Instead of por ing along the dirty and narrow streets, the people seek the Boulevards, the gardens, or other promenades, and even in those parts where business draws , together a crowd of people, the characteristic order and polite ness of the French are distinctly visible. Nothing can better mark the difference of manners in the two places, than some particular comparisons In entering a the atre in London the crowd rushes and crushes in by main strength, and he who is strongest is the best feliow. In Paris, the people form in a procession, and enter with the utmost decorum. In the fashionable walks as great a con trast is exhibited. The crowds, who pro menade the parks and gardens of London, for the sake of reviewing each other with more success,' form into two lines, and pass in opposite directions, as if it was all an af fair of business and parade, to be despatch' ed in a given lime, and therefore requiring great system and effort. In Paris', on the contrary, at the gardens of the Tuiileries or the Luxembourg, at the Champs Ely see or the Boulevard Italian, the people are seen engaged in a thousand different ways. Some are walking, some saunteringmany are sitting on benches, others are musing be neath the groves one is pondering the glas sy surface of a fountain, another is gazing on a group of statuary. Here an old man is looking with a delighted face on a family of romping children, attended by their nurse there a sentimental youth is tilling the eaV"of a duenne with idle complirnenjs, that he may now and then steal some signi ficant speeches into the ear of her beautiful protege This contrast might be extended, but we must close it with the observation, that a stranger in 'England sees the worst part of the English, and in France the best part of the French character. In one country, he finds himself an outlaw suspected and re- F",c" f r :ul " '"-f wno nas soiiitjucaign ujm w i vilege of every man he meets. In the other, hVis received with respect and kindness. Out of doors, a Londoner is systematically arrogant and repulsive, l-ioeraiiiy ana hospitality he leaves at home 5 and there they may be found in their best sense. A Parisian has no home. : He lives abroad, and makes every lounging place, the afreet, field: garden, and Boulevard, his drawing- room, where ne oemeans nimseii wua con stant courtesy.

Une 01 the Mexican mines, called Nues- tre Senora Guadaloupe, is very celebrated. Jt belongs to Uon Francisco Iriarte, a rela tion of the President's, who refused an offer of one million of dollars, made in 1825, by an association of foreigners, on condiiiurt that be should allow them to work his mine for a term of three years.

His - sons, whom he never permits to leave the town, are forced to at tend a little retail shop in Cosata ; arid his daughter who is pretty, is suffered to 'grow up in I uneducated idleness. His own ha bits are absternious,and his religious notions are extremely strict. He dislikes allusions tp his wealth, and considers any inquiry respecting his mine almost as a personal of fence; To all proposals for a cession of the right of working it, even for a limited time, he has constantly given the same an-. . swer, namely,' that he does not want mo ney , and if he did those who offer hint the most liberal terms know best that he could take out of the mine double the amount of any thing they could give in less jtimie than they would themselves require to raise the The Boston Evening Bulletin "; and the- " Jackson Republican," have enteied fnto compact, and the twain have become one. ivir.
