SONNETS BY MRS. HEMANS.
TO THE SKY.

TO THE SKY.
Far from the rustlings of the poplar bough,
Which DER my opening life wild music made;
Far from the green hills with their heathery
glow
And flashing streams, whereby my childhood
play'd;-
In the dim city, midst the sounding flow
OF restless life to thee in love turn,
o thou rich Sky, and from thy splendours
learn
How song birds come and part flowers wane
and blow.
With thee all shapes of glory find their home;
And thou hast taught me well, majestic dome!
By stars, by sunsets, by soft clouds which rove
Thy blue eXpanse, or sleep In silVery resi-,
That Natures God hath left spot unbless'd
With founts of beauty for the eye Of love!
DISTANT SOUND OF THE SEA AT EVENING.
Yet rolling far up some green mountain-dale,
Oftle me hear, as oft times have heard,
Thy swell, thou Deep! when eve calls home
the bird,
And stills the wood; when summer tints grow
pale,
Seen though the gathering of a dewy veil;
And peasant-steps are Fastening to repose;
And cleaning focks lie down, and Hover
cups close,
To the last whisper of the falling gale.
Then, midst the dying Of all other sound,
When the soul hears thy distant voice pro-
found
Lone worshippng, and knows that through the
night
twill worship still, then most its anthem-tone
Speaks to our being of the Eternal One
Who girds tired Nature with unslumberne
might!

Cholera at HahEar.-By the brig Cordelia,
Capt Lane, we have received Halifax papers
to the I'd inst. The number of cases of Cholera
reported was
Aug. 81, new cases 90, deaths IS, discharged II.
Sept |, " 35, 10, IL.
Sept 2, Il, Ia, 2O.
The total number Of cases from the COM
mencement, 34s, deaths 49, recoveries 1873.
The Times, evening paper Of the Cd says,
Every means which prudence and skill can
suggest, are using for the purpose OF disinfec-
ton, but as yet no visible decline of the conta-
gion is apparent. There have been several
cases at the wharves among the shipping some
Of which have terminated fatally. A shallop
from Sydney. c. 3. FULLY, master, has lost all
her crew. Cholera has also made its appear
ance on board the frigate President, and three
deaths have taken place, although every precau-
ton was used to prevent communication with
the shore. Her crew has been disembarked on
Stevens Island"
The mortality among the military, where the
disease first appeared, is diminishing. Tar bar
rels have been burnt in the street, for the pur-
pose of disinfectng the atmosphere. A meeting
of the inhabitants had been held at the Ex-
change, to furnish aid to the necesstous. A
subscription was set on foot and f200 quickly

Squirrels.--It is known to most persons that
the squirrels in the Mississippi valley emigrate
occasionally in vast numbers to other neighbor-
hoods, and that in doing so they cross rivers
and travel through the town and country, all
pursuing the same general direction and appa-
rrently reckless of the dangers to which they ex
pose themselves. For some days past we learn
they have been emigrating southwardly, and
that some Of the boys have enjoyed much sport
in watching for them and killing them with clubs,
as they land after swimming the river: or in
pursuing them in canoes, while yet in the wa
ter Their emigration has but just commenc-
ed, and they will no doubt become more numer-
ous
The cause of these movements we have not
seen satisfactorily explained. Some regard
them as indicative of an approaching severe
winter, but we suspect the destruction OF the
mast by the frosts OLA spring. has some con-
nection with their movements.

IPepard of Enterprixe.-It will be remember
ed that MIR. Macomber was delegated last year,
by several enterprisng associates, to proceed
to South Africa to obtain, if possible, coec-
ton of birds and beasts more numerous and rare
than any yet exhibited in this country-and that,
after some ten months toll in exploring the in
terror roaming the forests and traversng wastes
where the foot of civilized man had never trod,
he succeeded to his wishes, and returned to this
city laden with the richest spos Of southern
climates. After several months occupied here
in fitting up the exhibition which consisted of
upwards of one hundred animals drawn by IS
grey horses, in about 80 carriages, and requir
ing the care of about so men, including splen-
did band Of musicians, the caravan set off only
two or three weeks since, and has already pass
ed through Bristol county, and several towns in
Rhode Island, attracting every where an inn
mense number of people. 1t is, undoubtedly,
much the most valuable geological collection
ever brought together in this country; and all
classes and ages in every town and city seem
full, to appreciate it. Three large pavilions con-
tanning IL 600 feet Of canvass were provided for
the travelling menagerie, on the supposition that
space sufficient would be thus afforded. But
the proprietors are disappointed; at New Bed
ford, last week, the crowd was so great that ma
ny were compelled to wait for Abundance, and
at Newport it was found utterly impossible to
accommodate all, and a second exhibition was
accordingly given. We rejoice in this result
of honest, persevering labor-this reward of
bold, untiring American enterprise.

Tea-But little while ago, the duty on tea
was equal to the present price. Tea-drinkers,
at this date, not only pay no duty-they do not
paw cost. There are some teas now selling by
retail at no higher price per pound than they
cost by the cargo in Canton. The China mer-
chants. of course, pocket the loss. However,
they can most of them afford to lose as well as
any class of men, and will repine as little
They have seen times when the flavor of tea
was enriched by splendid profit.
