Lewis II. Putnam states in the New York Even.
ing Post that plan has been formed for the settie
raent of thirty-one rural districts in the territory
of the republic Of Liberia, By the thirty States
Of the American Union. 1t is proposed to settle
three hundred families in each district each family
having farm of its own, making in all, an aggre-
gate of nine thousand three hundred farms, and
about forty six thousand five hundred inhabitants.
1t is proposed that each State shall undertake the
settlement of one of these districts and for this
purpose the executive of such State shall appoint
board of commissioners to supply every family
of eInigrants with the means of earning its support
in compliance with the principles embodied in the
plan. The communication above spoken of is now
published, to ask the cooperation of the several
States of the Union in this great work S25 900 re-
ulitted to the government of Liberia will enable it
to organize board of commissioners to begin the
work OF supplying emigrants with farms. An ex-
pertinent has already been made by the New York
Colonization Society and the Liberia Agricultural
Association to establish sixty farms on plan SINH
lar to the above, and with perfect success
Virginia, as our readers are aware, appropriated
S200O00 for this purpose at the last session of the
Legislature, and if her example is followed by other
States vast amount Of good win result to the CO.
lored race. We hope the plan may succeed.

than any other Englishman, it is said, is coming to
this country, and we hope he will be well received
if he does. We mean respectfully and Hospitality,
without lionizng and toadyism. He is, we believe,
a very liberal man in his principles and he is GER

states that at public dinner, some years ago
where Jerrold was distingue, it was amazed to
hear him deliver speech, in which he declared
that the American revolution of I776 was the most
glorious event in history, and that people, whs
had spark OF manhood in them, would consent
to be ruled over by crazy king with Dutch-roof

Twas on a summer evening, and musing stood a

And watched with silent wonder while tho gloriou

watched his last departing ray he bado the wOrl'

And saw him cast gladnihg smile back on the SKY
50 purely blue.
In broad still beautiful expanse that evening sky
spread,
And like ether rolled in glory DER my head
Each Island cloud that iloatcd there was richly frin

And beauties such as Heaven affords were DER it

Twas lovely, and stood involved in thought AM

The richness of those glowing scenes nocr had me
before,
And while gazed each sight grew dim or like star
ry eye
When shaded by some anxious thought their bright
ness seemed to pass away.
Then twilight came with tranquil brow and clothej
in love profound,
And with the choicest stars of Heaven she pinnet
her curtains round,
Then closely in their purple folds she wrappl the
blooming earth,
Which caught strain from Heavens choir and
chantod praises forth.
Soft as the breath of sleeping babe the broCzcs blew
among the bowers,
All richly laden With the sweets they'd stolon from
the flowers;
The mingled songs of earth and heaven DER all my
senses stole,
And fell like drops of music rain with blended sweet
ness on my soul.
0 it was sweet to linger there and minge songs o
praise with these,
And youd have wondered why it were that pain OF
grief could hear distress;
But vet there was holier cord around my heart its
power had twincd,
And when for sympathy it drew these hed-like moon
light from my mind.

lonely spot,
And those whom God had bade me love left wretch

And then knew full we'll that he the soul destroying

A quenchlcss AMI consuming thirst seemed even now
upon lip
And 0, I saw beneath his brow there whitening lay

The fountain of my heart to swell beneath affections

And with the hardness of rock my feelings KEEP

But hal felt brothers love that gem Of priceless
worth,
And often feared for one loved more dear than all OF
earth,
And shall my heart remain unmovel while mids

These victims of the vipcrs sting carccssly for

O no my prayers shall still bo poured my tears be

Until this wretched cup of shall from our town

And tits to you that appeal, town council limplore
