THE STRANGERS SMILE.
BY PAUL PEAIBERToN, JR.


Some lights there are upon my memory streaming
That mark lfes journey with a SUMMER mile.
And wake me from "A night of bitter dreaming
The very brightest is the strangers smile.
Wandered far from my paternal home,
NJ voice familiar in that foreign land
r,l softly an undying friendship telling
How welcome then the strangers cordial hand
Romantic scenes could not delight my vision,
The tilling birds no joy in me awoke,
They only mocked me with a gay derision,
Until the stranger friendly words had spoke.
Tie jasmine sweeter was, the sky was bluer,
felt at home gain with fancy free;
Oneycr was heart more pure or truer
Than seemed the strangers kindly heart to me.
Slight ills III life are often made the rougher
BY IN mthinking worlds formaty,
While sweet relief may come to those who suffer,
In one good word of hospitality.
Be- careful al to entertain the stranger,
What time ye thread earths wilderness detile
Il he's an outcast, think of his great danger
Heaven may to him be in a strangers smile!

ToY-MAKING IN GERMANY.-In Germany
the wood work, so far as English importers
know any thing of it, is mostiy in the form
Of small trinkets and toys for children.
The production of these is immense. In
the Tyral, and near the Thuringian Forest,
in the middle States of the illorganized
confederacy, and wherever forests abound
there the peasants spend much of their
time in making toys. In the Tyrol, for ex.
ample, there is a valley called the Grodner-
thai, about twenty miles long, in which
the rough climate and barren soil will not
suffice to grow corn for the inhabitants,
who are rather numerous. Shut out from
the agricultural labor customary in other
districts, the people earn their bread chief
ly by wood carving. They make toys OF
numberless kinds (in which Noah's Ark
animals are very predominent) of the soft
wood of the Siberian pine-known to the
Germans as ziebelnusskiefer The tree is
of slow growth, found on the higher slopes
of the valley, but now becoming scarce
owing to the improvidence of the peasants
in cutting down the forests without saving
or planting others to succeed them. Fol
hundred years and more the peasants
have been carvers Nearly every cottage
is a workshop. All the occupants, male
and female, down to very young children
seat themselves round table, and fashion
their little bits of wood, They use twenty
or thirty different kinds of tools, under the
magic of which the wood is transformed in
to a dog, lion. man or what not Agents
repr esent these earvers i'll various cities OF
Europe, to dispose Of the wares. -.

NIGHT THE Poor Mans FMENp.-Night

gentle soothing refreshing night, the earth,

of the worn soul, the nurse of romance, OF
devotion ; how the great painting heart OF

poor, for the great there is no time fixed
for repose. Quiet, they have none and
instead of calmly awaiting the approach of
events they fret and repine, and starve
sleep, and chide the tardy hours, as if every
tomorrow were big with the fate of some
great hereafter The torrent of events goes
tearing past keeping eager expectations
constantly on tiptoe and drives timid slum'

NOON IN A BRAZILIAN FOREST.

| An almost death-like quictude reigns, but
1T is quietude induced by the furnace-like
heat with direct fierceness from which
there Is no shadow, except actually beneath
some thick tree, such as the mango, whose
dense and dark foliage affords an absolute,
| impcnetrable umbrella in the brightest
glare. Such too, is the smooth-barked
maughbaria, a tree of vast bulk with a
wide spreading head Of dense foliage, be-
meath which, when the sun strikes merciless-
ly on every other spot, all is coolness and
repose. The birds are all silent sitting
with painting beaks i'll the thickest foliage
no tramp or voice of beast is heard, for
| they are sleeping in their coverts. Ever
and anon the seed capsule of some forest
tree bursts with a report Of that like a
musket, and the scattered seeds are heard
patterlng among the leaves, and then all
| rclapseS into silence again. Great butter
flies with wings Of refulgent azure, almost
too dazzling to look upon, float lazily athwart
the glade or alight on the glorious flowers.
Little bright-eyed lizards, clad in panoply
| that glltters i'll the sun, creep about the
parasites of the great trees, or rustic the
hcrbage and start at the sounds themselves
have made
Hark there is the toll of distant bell
Two or three minutes pass-another toll! \
like interval, then another bell ! Surely, it
is the passing bell of some convent an
nOuncing the departure of a soul. No such
thing, it is the note of bird 1t is the
campanero, or bell-bird of the Amazon--a
gentle little creature, much like a snow
white pigeon, with sort of soft fleshy horn
on its forehead, three inches high This
appendage is black, clothed with a few
scattered white feathers, and being hollow,
| and communicating with the palate, it can
be inflated at will The solemn, clear bell
note uttered at regular intervals by the
bird, is believed to be connected with
structure. Be this as it may, the silvery
sound, heard only in the depth of the for
est, and scarcely ever except at midday,
when other voices are mute, falls upon the
ear of the traveller with a thrilling and TO-
mantle effect. The jealously recluse habits
of the bird have thrown an air of mystery
over its economy, which heightens the in
terest with which it is invested

New YORK, June 13.-The Posts Vera
Cruz correspondence of June lst, says: The
Emperor isstill on his pleasure tour through
the country, while everything is at stand
still in the capital waiting his return.
The Liberals have gained more ground
during the last month than they have lost
during the last year. General Negrete still
holds Monterey, Saltillo and all the country
between those cities and tfle coast. The at
tack on Matamoras failed owing to the
threatening position taken by the Rebels
at Brownsville when the Liberals ap-
preached Matamoras. The whole State
OF Tamaulipas, with the exception
OF Tampico and Matamoras, is in
the hands of the Liberals. In the State
of Mchoean the Count de Horter has been
badly defeated by the Liberal troops under
Gen. Regules. In the States, of Tobasco
and Chiapas not Frenchman nor an Impe-
rialist is to be found. The veteran General
Alvarez still holds unpolluted his State OF
Guerrero. The whole coast south of Vera
Cruz, except Camprelle, remains in the un-
disputed possession of the Juarists. The
French despair of pacifying the country
unless $4,000 more French troops be sent.

AdmrraE Gordon,s Report.

WASHINGTON, June 13-The Navy De-

June, 18th, in which he reports the
arrival there of his iron-clad fleet from
the cruise of the Stonewall. On the 81 OF
Dune the Capt. Gen. of Cuba, his1 staff, and
most OF the dignitaries ofithe Island, visit
ed the .Monadnock and other Hon-elads of
the fleet, and finally the hag-ship. He re-
marked that his visit was contrary to usage
if not to Spanish law, but he wished to
have it understood that he was mark
ed in his attentions. At my re-
quest we also visited the Stonewall,
and the unfavorable light in which that
vessel appeared when contrasted with our
iron-clads, could not fail in making an inn
preston. The squadron left Havana on the
9th. Houses and wharves were crowded
to witness the departure of the monitors,
whose movements created the greatest sur
prise and interest. The Monadnock I con-
slider a perfect success. She has steamed
