81. Augustine is said to be the oldest city in
the United States. It's appearance is thus de-
scribcd by a correspondent of tho n. Y. Com
mercial Advertiser:
"You would feel amazed at tho apparent quiz
etncss of St. Augustine, should you ever visit
it; seaport, without a vessel in port or in
sight, Of any description, and but three or
four yawls. l say apparent quictness, for
am speaking of out DOORS but in doors the case
is very different. Balls and parties arc fire.
quent Those disposed to attend them can
have the opportunity almost every night
Mask balls arc also in vogue. The people are
hosptablc, but how they live, and what they
live upon, is question cannot answer
There is employment for none except laborers
or negroes, who perform the usual routine of
every day duty. A cart or carriage is seldom
seen in the streets, except when in use by some
of the invalids or visitors. The lower classes
(for have not seen a bcggor since came
here) live on fish and oysters, procured in tho
harbor and adjacent waters and although l
have been out early and late, have never seen
any kind Of victuals go in or como out of any
house, or sniiicd the perfume Of the kitchen in
passing through or along tho houses /; yet it is
very evident they live on something else besi-
des air-the women fresh and plump, the men
only mddling. This town or city was, until a
few years ago, filled and surrounded by orange
groves, giving it a most beautiful and romantic
appearance, and afording nourishmont and
support, by tho use and sale of the delicious
fruit, to the inhabitants. A frost DESTROYED
them almost in night, and an insect before
unknown or harmless, has since infected tho
trees, and destroyed what the frost left, as well
as discouraged tho inhabitants from cultivating
any more. The consequence is, that the place
presents the appearance of desolation; you can
hardly conceive Of one more ruined and insight

The School Mistress.
ny MARY IRVING.

She sits among her little flock
OF Aaxen heads and restless feet;
Like water trickling DER a rock,
Her tones keep on their cadence sweet.
Her lips are smiling quietly,
Yet with an effort to be glad,
Lest childhood's sparkling gaiety
Be shndowed by smile too sad.
The smile is sweetest in her eye
Yet there is something in its CLEAN
That seems to say you know not why,
The shadow Of broken dream.
The sun is winking through the blinds,
Aud pulses bound to be at play
Out among the truant winds
That murmur of the grassy May.
Bright eyes look dreamily on books,
And read unwritten lessons there,
OF humble-bccs, and flowers and brooks,
And arrows whistling through the air.
The gentle watcher gently chides,
With "half smile and half sigh;
For in her heart whisper hides,
That pleads for sunshine and blue skyl
But lessons must be learned and so,
With words that rouse and words that wi
She wilcs the restless ramblers through
Lifc's first, life's lightest discipline
