SOCIETY IN BRAzIL.-The journal of
Commerce gives the following remark
able picture of the state of society in
Brazil =
"Of the seven millions constituting
the entire population Of Brazil, three
millions are estimated to be negro slaves;
two and a half millions, aboriginal In
dams and free negroes and the residue,
a million and half, whites. The social
state of the population is not marked by
the distinction of color, so operative else
where in the production of classes, but
only by that Of freedom and servitude.
The blacks have access to all, and are
in possession of many Offices of honor and
trust, and engage in every department.
of business. The white race and the
black meet on terms of perfect equality
in social intercourse, and intermarryw with
out scruple, provided there exists no OBJ
stacle in the relative position in life of
the respective parties. A writer in the
North American Review knew the wife
of an Admiral, whose hue was of the
darkest among Africa's daughters and
mentions the dismay of an American
diplomatic agent, at the entrace of a We
nerable jet black colonel into the court,
where he had just undergone his presen-
tation.' We have the same authority
for the fact, that, not long since, the
Brazilian ambassador to England was
mulatto, and that at the present time
large majority of the army, as we'll Off
GERS as privates, is of African descent. "

SONGS FROM THE WOODS.


BY MRS. K. C. DA POHTE.
Nosound is heard-no fairy tread
Steals lightly Ger yon messy bed
At close of eve, with tender care.S
To pluck the rosy blossoms there;
Secure they sleep, in wood or glen,
Free from the touch of wandering men,
Through those dim woods the timid stag
Hath ceased to bound o er stream and crag.
He rests-nor pants his weary heart
At baying hounds or huntsmen's dart;
Reposing now, that graceful head
Falls languid on his woodland bed;
Yet half afraid. he listens still
For shout and horn across the hill.
Rest. hunted stag, nor pant mol cry,
YOn huntsmen pass, yOn hounds rush by.
Dark shadows fill the lonely glade
Rest, hunted stag, in forest shade.
And now my footsteps wander there,
Charmed with a scene so wild. yet fair
Charmed with a solitude so rude,
Where strife of men nor war intrude-
Where, screened, my heart in silence bro0ds
Ger many loved dream in those woods
Then fancy sees spirit rise
Radiant as sunsets golden skies.
With eyes whose heavenly. starry hueS,
Are mostened by the twilight dews;
They gaze above-no mortal ray
Iumes the thoughts that in them play.
For Faith. with Hope and Charity.
CLOVIS in the looks she bends on me.
While that pure spirit whispers all
That Faith can teach when morIals call
On Him for strength to calmly bear
Strength gained by penitence and prayer.
Such strength, o God, in mercy send,
That though the ruthless word may bend,
With reckless hand, this yielding form,
Mid strife, mid woe and blasting storm
Through all, Thy love, Thy mighty power.
Shall safely Guide me in that hour.
