THE AZORES,

A plea has been put in for the Azores,
those delightful islands which, even to the
inhabitants of the mainland of Portugal,
(the mother country,) remain almost an
unknown country, whilst to the world at
large they are as remote and mysterious
as were the Hesperides to the civilized
world in the classic days of Greece and
Rome. Fayal is, indeed, resorted to by
large numbers of American whalers, and
nearly all the commerce of that division
of the Azores is in American hands; but
the tourists who visit the islands are few
in number, chiefly, indeed, our own coun-
uymen who prefer taking southern route
for Europe, and who like to break
voyage by halting for a short time in
Fayal. The Azores nevertheless possess
fine natural advantages. Epidemics are
almost unknown, and neither cholera nor
yellow fever has visited the islands; and
the direct heat of the sun does not prevent
a person of delicate health from spending
the greater part Of the day iii the open air.
So far as European travellers are concern
ed, the neglect of the Islands is hardly due
to remoteness of position. Traversed, as
those seas are, by many thousands Of ships
every year, and lying, as the islands may
be said to do, on the great highway Of
ocean commerce, it might be imagined
that the natural beauties and curiosities in
which they abound, and the mild and tenn
perate climate which they enjoy, would
have attracted sufficient attention to have
made them favorite resort with all who
travel in search of health or pleasure.

There is a good story of well-known
lawyer who was bothered by the importu-
mites oftwo get-rid-a-ble lady canvass

get rid of them, he said: Ladies', the part
