The star may but meteor be,
That breaks upon the stormy night,
And may err, believing thee
Aspark of heavens own chaugeless light!
But if on earth beams aught so fair,
ltseems, Of all the lighls that shine,
Serenest in It's truth It's there,
Burning in those soft eyes of thine.
Yet long watched stars from heaven have
rush'd,
And long loved friends have dropped
away,
And mine--my very heart have crush'd!
And | have hoped this many day,
1t lived no more for love or pain;
But thou hast stirr'd its depths again,
And to its dull unwearied ear
The voice Of melody hath crept,
In tones it cannot choose but hear;
And now feel it only slept,
And know, at even thy ightest smile,
1t gathered fire and strength the while.
Fail me no, thou this feeling past,
My heart would never rouse again,
Thou art The brightest but the last ;
And ii this trust, this love is vain
If thou, all peerless as thou art,
Be not less fair and true of heart
My loves are DER; the sun will shine
Upon no grave 80 hushed as this dark breast
OF mine.

The Cotton Crop.

The papers from the South continue to bring Us gloomy
accounts OF the ravages Of the worm, in almost every sec
uon Of the couon-growing region. The New Orleans
Tropic says, the worms and rains combined have worked
a worse than Egyptian havoc throughout the Plantations
We could fill our columns with letters from different sec
tons, all concuring in the opinion that the crop must be
very materially diminished-some say one-fourth, Others
~one-ihird, and others again fully one-half-each judging,
doubtless, from the appearance Of the fields in his own
neighborhood.
We were told, the other day, by the Enquirer, that the
additional value Of the cotton crop, consequent upon the
advance in the price Of that staple, would be not less than
FIVE millions of dollars. The accuracy OF this estimate,
however. will depend, we imagine, quite asmuch upon the
quantity produced as upon the price given for it. If the
antcipations of the planters, as TO the extent of the diminu.
ton Of the crop shall be realized, the price must be much
higher than il now is to make the aggregate as large as it
would have been, with a full crop aud low prices. We
fear that the enhanced value OF ihi. staple will scarcely re-
muneraie the planters for the diminished produci-certain
ly there is no reason to hope that they will be benefited
by a rise in price, occasoned not by 1.-The liberal legislative
nactments on both sides Of the Atlantic" but by the par

NIRAcLEs AND DELUsIoS-We mentioned a few DAYS
silce the murder by robbers. At Case Brucciste, in the Pa
pal States. OF the Able Chevalier Thomas Stuart, the son
OF Sir William Dummond Stuart, the American traveller.
The deceased was 4 dignlisry in the Romish church, and
in prospect Of cardinals hat. The British consul al Rome
had the body embslmed preparatory to embarkaton for
England, but the most extraordinary circumstance connec-
ted with the corpse, as II lay in state in the church, is ,ha,
related in a letter to an English journal, stating that the
press having learnt that the deceased belonged 10 a rich
family, began, as usual, to speculate upon what might turn
up most 10 their advantage. All al once a child, a cripple
from its birth, was cured by crawling over the coffin, and
left its clutches there. The fame OF this miracle spread
throughout the town and neishbOrhood, and the lame and
halt hoeked in from oil sides. Numerous other miracles
are said to have been performed-oferings of wax began
10 drop In 10 the church-scoies OF children wero brought
in TO be cured Of all kinds Of diseases. At length the
crowds OF deluded beings reached such an extent that the
British consul feared they would destroy the coffin, and sc-
cordingiy ordered 1t to be removed out Of the body Of the
church 10 4 vault.
