the numbers added since that time, the migrant
population consisting of emancipated slaves and free
cOored people from the United States, Africans
cued from slave traders, and their descendants, is
about 5000. The whole population, including ma

degree civilized. Several hundred of them are vo-

of them hold Office =

THE SMILE.

The night is black, the rain pours down,
And gushing torrents round me foam;
Yet comfort s mine, thought-worn and wet
ride for one who s safe at home.
My feet are cold, my hands are stiff,
Yet Eve thought that can them warm:
I've made house and built fire
That shields another from the storm.
Blow-blow ye winds, the trees uproot,
Your fercest blast, now let it come!
: Ri<e-rise ye creeks, I'll swim ye all
And find my way to one at home.
The goali won-Pm home at last
Still roars tine elemental strife;
Z But am by warm freside,
: And near me sits my cain guid wife"
I've often seen the gaudy dance,
,, And tinselled beauty gathered there;
But fondestglance from fashions belle
; Cannot with freside sm,le compare.
Talk not to me of wealth and fame,
Oh, tell me not of other joys!
Take these-!ake all-but leave to me,
Her smile-who s mother to my boys!

SONNET EXTRAORDINARY.

Sitting one evening with learned Miss,
We soon began to talk of learned things;
Not frills or flowers, rigmarole or rings,
But fountains full of intellectual bliss.
Thus in high converse, from some distant place
There came strain of Emusic soft and clear;
saw flash of pleasure light her face,
And whispered poesy in her willing ear.
She smiled, and asked me who composed the

And more expressive than the song of birds
When earth with lovely spring-Aowers is be-
