Sleighng parties we have always known to be
promotive of gallantry; but never have we known
more notable display of it than that made by
young man in Lowell. He was so fearful that he
might upset his fair companion when it became
necessary to turn about, that no Embarrassed the
horse, caused the young lady to aight, and turned
the sleigh round himself. 1t would be a shame
such tender consideration as this did not have
chance to exert itself in more permanent and tender
relations.

We read in an exchange that some Of the colored
men are taking Charles Sumner into their good
graces again" We should very much Like TO know
when and for what reason the Senator passed out Of
their good graccs. Is it not time this nonsense
stopped-these miffs and whiras, this petty fault
finding and stupid criticismf Ii is MT in the power
of the colored men to make Mr.. Sumner one whit
less their friend. either by ingrattude or BY slow
appreciation Of his long battle in their behalf; bot
it is in their power to inure themselves and to i'm
pede their own progress, by ungenerous fault

Justice than the colored people caA afford to be us-

NEvIs.-A serious fire broke out hero on
Sunday the 3rd inst, which destroyed the
Court House. There was a legislative crisis
in the island, arising from a oontr0Yerted cleo
ton for the Assembly.
PORTO RICO.
PRIVATE ADvICEs form this island reveal
a most uneasy state of feeling, and show
that there is a strong under current of agita-
ton, which may at any moment break forth
on the surface and produce the most deplora-
bic results. 1t appears that the Conservative
party, which comprises all the born Spaniards
or PeninSulars,' as they are called, includ-
ing all the military forces, is bitterly hostile
TO the present liberal government, and had
plotted 10 make a general rising Of the party
on the 23rd of last month. The Captain Gen
eral, however, was informed of the conspiracy,
and suspended II army officers who were sus-
pected of beiug concerned in the threatened
revolt, The Conservation plot is said to aim
at nothing less than numbering the Captain
General and the Second in Command, and
Selling the reinS Of government. The II Off
GERS were sent to Spain, and matters remained
in suspense until a few days ago, when a Ser
geant of Artillery turned infOrmer, doubtless
with the hope of being promoted, and betrayed
to the Captain General the plot of another
rising which was intended to take place on the
18th instant, during the elections for the new
Municipal Council of the several districts of
the island. This new rising was to carry out
the purpose Of that of the 28rd of July which
had been frustrated by the intended victim of
the Conservatives. This Conservative Party
objects to the establishment of the Municipal
Councils, as it is feared that these Councils
will take the ruling power out of the hauds of
the party, and secure it to the Liberal Party.
The political aspect of affairs is dark and dis
oouraging en- =" todas las Espamas."

LAUNCHING THE BOAT.


10 W. - ".
eoy,by ripping river, one day
Launched his boat in happy play.
A bright-eyed boy with shining hair,
Soft round cheeks and forehead fair.
The drowsy Summer afternoon
Heightened its shadows all too soon;
The chipping chorus the insects made
Echoed far from bush and blade;
An Oriolc swung in n tree hard by,
And called to its mate with gladstone cry.
Tho swaying boughs Of bugle vino
Flashed its blossoms like ruby wine;
The cricket welcomed the evening star,
Shining fair in her golden car;
The twilight darkness grew on apacc,
weaving Of shadows a mystic lace.
The sheeny breast Of the ripping river
Mirrorcd stars in its limpid culver;
The moon, in her queenly robe Of state,
Had just emerged from the opal gate,
To smile on the noble boy at play,
As she rolled along in her royal way.
The tiny wings of the tiny barquc
Were folded close like a weary lark
After weary flight.
The moon with her pageantry Of stars,
Crowned by the king, red planet Mars,
Watched DER the little nursing "May,"
That the waves were kissing in gentle play.
May, the boys wee sister, had named it so,
And It bore the name en- the painted bow.
safe in the grapevine swing above
She watched the boy with tender love,
And the spreading sails of the little boat
Left for awhile to swing and noat.
They wandered home in the twilight gloom.
Across the fields of clover bloom.
The years have gone, the gentle boy
Has often sighed for the childish Joys
That the simple toy had brought to him
In the years Of long ago.
Manhood's brow has the signet seal
OF the life that has borne both WOO and veal
But oft there comes, in his dreams Of homo,
In other lands, where'or he roams,
magical sound of the dashing waves
OF grand old James. as it softly laves
The verdant slopes and sunny shores,
Where he whiled his early boyhood hours:
And many the hopes, like that fairy boat,
Have been launched merrly aioat,
To die in the rushing tide.
But manhood's heart has drawer grown,
And never needless sigh or moan
Is wrung from his royal pride;
But he never hears a cricket song,
Or insect hum from the grass bed throng,
Or an Orioles gladsome cry,
But merry sigh for the things gone by
Saddens the censor cum
That memory swings, and tenderly brings.
or halcyon days, and the folded wings,
Of the tiny boat, that he put aioat
With childish glee, to see how free,
The MAY could ride, in the shadow wide.
Of the shelteFing maple tree.
