There Is aggregate of 5,6S5 passengers, accord.
ing to record arriving from foreign ports in New
York, in the month Of May alone; and IL we include
the omissions which may have taken place, we have
no doubt the number will reach 1000 persons Bu,
taking il at $685. and estimating from this data for
the year, we may reasonably conclude that $4,000
persons viii leave the old world for the new for the
port Of New York alone, during the present wear.
Some months may be less-some more-but the aver.
age we gire is fair.
Now 10 the value Of this immigration. The i'm.

least $1,000 10 raise human being in Europe-male
or female. Seine OF these may be more valuable
than others-thus, a sober, calculating scotchman
Is worth more than rabid, visionary English radi-
cal by 10 per cent-an Irishman from the north. Is
worth ID per cent, on an average, more than an
Irishman from the south, Of ireland. A Swiss il n
better commodity than an Italian-and German Is
higher in value than Belgian. But the aversge /.
what we have stated, $1,000 each, deductins 10 per
cent for rogues, paupers, vagabonds and ders From
these data may find that the aggregate amount Of
human importations this year $50 900 OO0-but as
each person brings with him some property. sav an
average 800 apiece, may add this item 10 the
other, and thus produce grand total Of eos 900 600
imports at New York alone, in the valuable raw ma
teral that constitutes nation and all il usefuI

This Is real, substantial, undoubted addition to
the wealth, strength, and power Of tho country.
This trade Is not like that Of dry goods or iron goods

Or from the long, tall grass
Or is il from the hollow rocks
Through which iss bresthing' pass
Or is il from the voices

The Wind, the wandering Wind
Ne. no the strange sweet accents
That with il come and 50,
They are not from the oslers.
Nor the fir.trees whispering low.
They are not Of the waters,
Nor ofthe cavern'd Hill
It's the human love within US
That gives them power to thrill
They touch the links of memsry

And we start, aud weep, and tremble,
