The Future Of Spain.

Mr.. William Cullen Bryant, in a recent let
ter to his paper, the New York Evening Post
thus gives the result of some OF his observa-
tionsi in Spain where he now is: 40 a' l-'
1t has occurred to me that among the results
of causes now beginning to act, there is one
which will lead to considerable change in the
character of the Spanish nation. / mean the
blending of the different and very distinctra
composing the population, which it seems to
me will yet follow the late opening of easy
communications between the provinces. Spain
has her Galatians, identical with theleople of
Southeastern France; her Valencians, the de-
scendants OF the Numidisn her Andalusians.
with strong infusion of Arab blood; her Cas-
tlians, of the lineage of her Gothic conquer
ors; her Basques, the untamable aborigines of
the country; her Gallegos, Portuguese in af
finty and speech, all of them distinguished
from each other by language as well as by ORR
gin, and kept separate by the difficulty of in
tercourse between the different parts of a
country which had, till lately, little more than
brldle-roads leading from one district to an
other. The railroads here begin to exchange
not merely the commodities, but the inhabi-
tants OF the different prOvinces the pictur-
esque local costumes are already disappearing
and IN time the different races which have
mentioned must inevitably be fused together
becoming mixed population with a character
OF its own. Mixed races are proyerbially moro
active, energetic and enterprising than Others
The infusion OF new blood gives new youth to
a nation. Who shall venture to say that this
course may not bring back to Spain somewhat
of her ancient greatness? fr L 8.

since, when Mr.. Perry, Secretary of the Amer

ears, Mr.. Perry Immediately claimed it as our

To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS:
The members of the Oriental Lodge of the /.

1t stormed through the afternoon and even
ing, yet the halls of the Lodge were well filed
by its own members, and those of other lodges;
and although the elements warred without,
each countenance showed that joy and peace
reigned within.
The first of the evening was spent in the
opening and initiatory ceremonies which were
well conducted showing that the officers un-

The business being over, each seemed to give
himself up to enjoyment
A recess was ordered, and never did school
boys greet with greater signs of pleasure their
allotted time for play, than did those Templars
their allotted time for social enjoyment. But
all things have an end" and so did that recess.
The audience now took seats, and compare
tive silence 'reigned supreme"
A committee, appointed for that purpose now
brought in the refreshments; and soon the
whole body was discussing the merits of the
good things" and coffee instead of the ques-
ton of Temperance;-and well they might, fol-

the toasts appropriate-and the singing beau
tiful.
Strong words of encouragement were spoken
by those whom we know to be earnest workers
in the cause OF Temperance. Their words gave
strength to the weak, and more determination
to the strong, to battle for the right. We left
