BY Bayard TAYLOR.

There is nothing in the world comparable to
these forests. No description that | have ever
read conveys an idea of the splendid overpus OF
vegetable life within the tropics. The river broad
and with swift current of the sweetest water
ever drank, winds between walls Of foliage that
rise from its very surface. All the gorgeous
growths of an eternal summer are so mingled in
one impenetrabe mass that the eye is bewildered.
From the rank jungle of canes and gigantic lilies,
and the thickets of strange shrubs that line the
water, rise the trunks of the mango. the ceba. the
cocoa, the sycamore, and the superb palm Plain
tains take root in the banks, hiding the soil with
their leaves shaken and split into immense plumes
by the wind and rain. The zapote, with fruit
the size of mans head, the gourd tree, and other
vegetable wonders, attract the eye on all sides
Blossoms of crimson, purple, and yellow, OF form
and magnitude unknown in the north, are mingled
with the leaves, and focks of paroquets and bril-
liant butterflies circle through the air like blOs-
SONS blown away. Sometimes spike of scarlet
flowers is thrust forth like the tonpDe Of a SER
pent, froni the head oil some consolution OF unfol-
ding leaves, and sometimes the creepers and par
asites drop tails and streamers of fragrance from
boughs that shoot halfway across the river. Ev-
cry turn of the stream only discloses another and
more magnificent vista Of leaf, bough and blossom.
AL out of the landscape is lost under this deluge
of vegetation. No trace of the soil is to be seen;
mountai in is but high swell of the mass of yer-
dure. As on tile ocean, you have sense rather
than perception of beauty. The sharp, clear
liDes Of our scenery at home are here wanting.
What shape the land would be, if cleared, you can
not tell. You gaze upon the scene before you
with never stated delight, till your brain aches
with the sensation. and you close your eyes, over
whelmed with the thought that all these wonders
have been from the beginning---that year after
year takes away no blossom that is not replaced
but the sublime mystery of growth and decay is
renewed forever.
