IMMORTALITY OF NAN.

Why is it that the rainbow and the cloud
come over us. with beauty that is not OF
earth, and then pass away and leave us to muse
on their faded loveliness? Why is it that
the stars which hold their festival around
their midnight throne. are set above the grasp
Of our limited faculties. forever mockins us
with uuapproacbable glory? And why is it
that forms Of human beauty are presented to
our view and taken from u.s. leaving the thou.

pine torrents upon our heart We are born
for higher destiny than that of earth
There is realm where the rainbow never
fades, where the stars will set out before US
like Islands that slumbcr on the ocean, and
where the beautiful being that now passes
before us like the meteor, will stay 10 our
presence forever

WAY-SIDE PENCILLINGS.
PAYTA, PERU, s. A.
BY LUIS.

During the latter part of May, 1851, We
stood away from Callao towards the little
port of Payta, in search of the U. S. Frigatc
Savannah, which then sported the broad PEN
nant of our Commodore elect. The port is
but four days sail from Callao, and on the
morning of the fourth day we made the land,
and sending some of our lightcst youngsters
up TO the main-top-mast cross-trees, with or
ders to keep bright lookout for the broad
pennant, we stood in for the harbor, under
whole top-sals. But alas, for all our hopes
as we rounded the point that hides the town
from view, barquc, two briggs and a schoon-
er, were all the vessels then lying in the
harbor and to add to our discontinue, just
as we were standing in beautifully under top
sails and courses, a barraco, a wind peculiar
to this coast, struck us abeam in less time
than it takes to write it, the topsails were
clewed up, yards braccd, and we beat into
the harbor, anchoring about two and half
miles from the Mole.
The following morning, embracing the first
opportunity, | jumped into the market boat,
and after long pull against the tide, we
were landed. We found the place to be
composed of about two hundred houses, all
of which, save about thirty, were built of
bamboo, plastered with mud, and either
matched or tiled roofs. Many of these casas
have earthen floors, and the hammock is in
almost exclusive use. Pigs, children, par
rots and dogs, were free incomers in these
aboriginal domicils, while in the corner of
each some old women were sure to be found
drinking mate, and gossiping. The people
are mixed race of Indian and Spanish, very
dark-complected, and usually are character
lied by an extraordinary penchant for fun,
equalizcd by most deep-rooted antipathy
against work. The s'woman's rights" ques-
ton would certainly create sensation here,
for the females are in the ratio Of six to one !
Query Could silence reign there for any
minute period of time y
Entering one of the principal stores front
ing the Mole, we were surprised by the great
variety of articles exposed for vendure; /
firmly believe that one could purchase any
thing, from Brandeth's Pills to Goose
Yoke, and from Canton Silk to a gridron !
Prices were rather exhorbitant, comparative
ly speaking, but when one requires thing
it is cheap at any price. procured several
Guayaquil hats on speculation and after
wards sold them at large advance. Leav-

LOGIC AMONG FRIENDS.

If people wish to live well together, they
must not hold too much logic, and suppose
that every thing is to be settled by sufficient
reason. DR. johnson saw this clearly with
regard to married people when be said
"Wretched would be the pair above all names
of wretchedness. who should be doomed to
adjust by reason, every morning all the de-
tails of domestic day" But the applica-
ton should be much mora general than he
made it, There is no time for such reason
ings, aud netting that is worth them. And
when we recollect how two lawyers or two
politicians, can go on contending. and that
there is no end of one. sided reasoning ON any
subject, we shall not be sure that such con-
tention is the best mode Of arriving at the
truth. But certainly it is not the way to ar
rive at good temper.
