COME IN BEAUTIFUL
= DREAMS.

George D. Prentice has written many
pretty things. but never anything more
quietly beautiful than :he following:
Come. in beautiful dreams, love,
Oh come to me oft,
When the white wings Of sleep
On nv bosom liz sof:;
/. Oh! come when the sea.
In the moons gently light
Beats soft on the air.
Like the pulse Of the night
When the sky End the wave
Wear their lohiest blue,
When the dew's on the flower,
Aud the stars On the dew.
Come.sin beautiful DRAINS, love,
Oh come. and wei! stray
Where the whole year ia crowned
With the blossoms Of May 80
Where eacl, sound is sweet
As the COO or Tie dove,
And the gaies are as soft
As the breathings of love;
Where the beams kiss the waves.
And the waves ,kiss the beach
Aud our warm lips may Catch
The sweet lessons they may teach.
Come. in beautiful! dreams. love,
Oh come, and we'll fly,
Like two winged spirits
s1Of love, through the sky;
With hand clasped in hand,
On our dream wings we'll 60.
Where the starlight and moonlight
-: Are blending their glow; 81
And on the bright clouds we'll linger,
OF purple aud gold,
Till the angels shall envy
The bliss they behold.

THE IsTHMUs OF ANAMA.-The u. s.
Consul at Aspinwall, who has just return
ed to this country on visit, reports that
the opening of the Pacific Railway has Sc
riously interfered with the business ON the
Isthmus of Panama, by reducing the num-
Der of passengers and the goods conveyed
by the latter route. The merchants at
Aspinwall and Panama, who have always
largely depended upon the custom of the
California passengers, find that their sales
have reduced, and the hotels report fall
ling off in the number of their transient in
mates. Instead of four steamers month,
as formerly, there are only two running
on this route. In case, however, Panama
should be made the capital of the United
States of Columbia, it is hoped that the
prosperity of the Isthmus will revive.

The Rail Bird of Delaware, Maryland
and Pennsylvania is known as the Sora in
Virginia, and as the Coot in North Caro-
lima. In the latter State, these birds are
captured in large quantities by beating the
banks along which they lay at night. The
lightwood torches carried by the hunters
blind the coots, and the birds are whipped
over and killed A singular error pre-
walls even among generally well-informed
persons in North Carolina to the effect that
coots are transformed from frogs, the birds
appearing at the time the frogs disappear
The rail, when young, is black, and chan
ges its plumage to dusky gray when half
grown. 1t is migratory bird. and chan
ges its plumage as it passes from one re-
gion of climate to another.
