And now and then some tears of mine.
Under this fair and soft sunshine,
Make rainbows to mine eyes.

A thing Of d:mness aud OF shad,.

But only feel my steps wayla,d,
And know he waits for me.
Nor voice, nor speech, nor any sound,
Comes through this softening air of spring,
No forward footsteps er the grounl
On the still cchos ring.
No haste-O heaven! faint grows my heart,
To see the cam of this sure fate;
We haste on our uncertain part,
But Gods fixed will can W ait.

Through many an undawned day:
There is weeping ON some dearest faces.
Some hearts are sad and silent grown;
And out from these familiar places
Myself am past and gone. .......
Yet are my thoughts not always thus;
see thee in another time,
Thy veipd hands full Of flowers for us,
Gifts of life's flush and prime.
Sometimes, while one may draw breath.

THEATRE.-on Wednesday evening the MaI'

may judge from the general character of the au'

II was one OF the most successful seasons on re.
cord. Messrs Taylor 81 Clarke have managed with
great skill and judgment, and we sincerely hope
they have been amply repaid for their labors.-
They have presented Us with a succession of the
most acceptable stare, who have been supported
by very fair company, many of whom have be
come great favorites. Among them, We may par.
ticularize Miss Raymond, Miss CappeIl, Mrs Ward
and Messrs Smith, Marchant aud Gle. The last
named gentleman, we predict, will in very short
time, take prominent rank in his profession.
We accord our best wishes for his success and
also for the success oi the entire company, to
whom we now say farewell, but trust we may
have the pleasure of welding our pen in their
praise during the next season.

the Dispatch was trying TO discourage them!
Well, we know nothing about the matter. We
only know that our friends the Democrats had
openly declared that they meant to take the
control of this district, and as they had the
power to arrange matters with that view and
as they generally make clean jobs of what they
undertake, we took it for granted that the

In the foreign news by the Europa there
YVES an item from Madrid ntimating that q
treaty for the partial emancipation of Cuban
slaves, has been concurred in by the Queen
of Spain. The treaty only affects the class
known as emdncipad0s, answering to the Ro-
man freedmen. 1t is determined that these ne
groes shall be absolutely discharged at the
end of FIVE years apprenticeship. Those
who shall have already accomplished the
term shall be liberated during the current
year. The rest follow as the proper dates oc.
cur.
The London Times commenting upon this
step, thinks itsees the hand of John Bull at
work, in Madrid, and the editor hes no doubt
that it is British influence which has induced
the formation ofthe treaty in question. The
| Times adds:
at is therefore as political, and not as q
| phlanthopic transaction, that this affair is to
| be viewed. Ii is only new barIieade against
| the fiilibusters. Ii falls in accordantIy with
| the whole tenor of British Anti.Slavery enter
prize; but is, after all, not half 50 tributary TO
| the designs Of Clarkson ana Buxton, as to
those of Cristina and Canedo. To be rid OF
the costly and vexatious business of slave trade
suppression, and TO keep Cuba from the Yam
KEGS, are the objects of Great Britai in. To re-
tain our own dominion on the island, without
| regard to the slave question, is the object oil
| Spain. Both find their ends promoted by this
| meagre concession 10 the emancipados. And
as for US of the United States, we have only 10
