Spanish Americans,

We do not remember to have seen more for
chile sketch of ley Spanish American than is
contained in the subjoincd "ieature" of scene
at the Island of Juan Fernandez, from "rwo
Years before the Mast y
"The men appeared to be the LATEST
people upon the face of the earth and,
indeed, as far as my observation goes,
there are no people to whom the newly
invented Yankee word of 'loafer' is more
applicable than to the Spanish Americans.
These men stood about doing nothing,
with their cloaks, little better in texture
than an Indians blanket, but of rich CO.
Tors, thrown over their shoulders with an
air which it is said a Spanish beggar can
always give TO his rays, and with great
poiiencss and courtesy in their address,
though with holes in their shoes, and
without sous in their pockets. The
Only interruption to the monotony of their
day seemed to be when a gust of wind
drew round between the mountains and
blew off the boughs which they had placed
Tor roofs to their houses, and gave them
few minutes occupation III running about
after them. One Of these gusts occurred
while we were ashore. and afforded us no
little amusement at seeing the men look
round, and if they found their roofs had
stood. conclude that they might stand too,
while those who saw theirs blown off, af-
Ter uticring few Spanish oaths, gathered
their cloaks over their shoulders. and
started off after them. However. they
were not gone long, but soon returned to
heir habitual occupation of doing no.

With soul as pure as ever.

That won my heart for ever
With airy step, and beauteous face,
With eyes of darkest hue,
With lovely neck and nymph-likc grace,
With breath of fragrant dew.
Beneath her eyes half opcnig lid,
Bright tears of Joy are seen;
I've seen the like 'mong rose buds hid,
Fresh tears of nights fair queen,
