The City of Para in Brazil.
Mr. Warren, in his recently published work.
“Para; or Scenes and Adventures on the Banks
of the. Amazon.'' gives the following lively sketch
of his first irnpreasionson entering the city of Para.
The city is situated on the southern branch of the
Amazon, and is the capital of the Province of
Para, the largest and most fertile portion of the
magnificent Empire of Brazil:
•' The general aspect of the place, with its low
and venerable looking buildings of.solid-stone, its
, massive churches and moss-grown rums, its red
tued .roofs and dingy-white walls, the bentiful
trees of ns gardens, and groups of tall banana
plants peeping up here and there among the houses
constituted certainly a scene of novelty, if not of
! elegance and beauty.
The lust spec table which arrested our atten
. tion on landing, was that of a number of persons
of both sexes and all ages bathing inducrimnateiy
together in the waters ot the river, in a slate of en
. tire nudity. We observed among them several
fineiv formed Indian girls of exceeding beauty,
das*, rig about in the- water like a troop of happy
mermaids. The beat of the sun was so intense,
that wc ourneixes were almost tempted to seek re
lief from its overpowering influence by plunging
precipitately amid the joyous throng of sw.mmerv
. Bui we forbore!
The .natives of Para are very cleanly, and in
dulge hi daily ablutions; nor do they coniine their
baths to the dusky hours of evening, but may be
seva. swimming about the public wharves at ail
hours of the day. The Government has made
several feeble efforts to put a restraint upon these
public exposures; but at the time of our departure
all rules and regulations on the subject were to
tally disregarded by the natives. The city is laid
out with considerable taste and regularity; but the
streets »rt very narrow, and miserably paved with
large and uneven stones.
Tne buildings generally are but of one story in
height, and are, with a few exceptions, entirely
destitute of glass windows ; a kuul of latticed blind
is substituted, which is so constructed that rt af
fords the person wrrtrm an opportunity of seeing
whatever takes placetn the street without being
observed in return. This lattice ooens towards
the sleet, and thus jitf-rds great facilities to the
beaux and gentlemen of gallantry; who, by step
ping under this covering, can have an agreeable
t tr a-trte with their fair mistresses, as secretly as
j il they were in a triluk-d arbor together.
We noticed several strange spectacles as we
slowly walked through the city. Venders of fruit
with huge baskets on their heads, filled with
luscious oranges, bananas, mangoes, pineapples,
and other choice fruits of the tropics; croups of
blacks carrying immense burdens in the same man
ner; invalids reclining in theu Hammocks, or ladies
ruling in their gay-covcred palanquins, supported
on men’s shoulders; and water carriers moving
along by the side of their heavily-landen horses or
unties.
Finally, we met with a party of some thirty or
forty blacks, eaeh one of them bearing a large bas
ket of tapioca on his head. They were perfectly
naked to the waist, and wore only a pair of panta
loons of very coarse material. They man bed on.
a: a slow and measured pace, chanting at the same
lime,a singularly monotonon* air, to which they
beat tune with then hands.”
another Earthquake in isonth Amrnra,
Valparaiso papeis received at New York, men
tion that there was another earthquake at Cofuapa,
Chili, on the 28th of May, which was mure severe
than that at Valparaiso, of which we have previ
ously p,ii. ,«he<l the accounts. It took place about
twenty irua.it'S past 1 r. u„ lasted during two
■Di lutes, an 1 was accompanied by strong horuon

were in the greatest alarm. The shocks contirted
every minute till 8 o’clock in the evening. The
damage was considerable, but no particulars are
given beyond the fact, that scarcely a house was
left inwood condition m The street *’t'ommercia.”
A ettet in the New Yotk Journal of Commerce

or we are no judge.
As I was say mg, ten years ago J udge D.. of illi
nots. was a beardless youth of twenty-one rears
of age, freshly come amongst the people of the
“Sucker State,-' with an a»r about bun suspicious
ly redolent of Yankee land. A mere youthful
adventurer amongst the “squire" Suckers—one
would deem the position embarrassing. Not so
with, the Judge—he bad come on business. A
political fortune was to be made and no tune lost.
He Was about launching on the sea of pubtie
favor, and he commenced a general const surrey
the day he arrived. He soon made himself Dis
trict Attorney, Member of the Legislature, Regis
ter of the United o ates Land Office, Secretary of
State, and Judge of the Supreme Court.
“How do you adapt yourself, Judge," said I,
“to the people? How did you ‘naturalise’ your
self, as it were?"
“ Oh, nothing easier—you see I like it. It’s
democratic. But it did come awkward at first.—
You know 1 am, or rather was, bashful to a rather
painful degree. Well now, rime-tenths of my
constituents despise luxuries, and have no snch
thing as a second room in their houses. In beat
ing up votes l live with my constituents, drink
with them, lodge and pray with them, laugh, hunt,
dance and work with them—1 eat their com dodg
ers and fried baton, and sleep two in a bed with
them. Among my first acquaintance* were the
L—s: by the way 1 am sure of five rotes there.
Well, you perceive, 1 had to live there, and 1 did
live there. But, sir, I was frightened the first
niirht 1 slept there. I own it—I acknowledge the
corn. An ice in August is something; but I was
done to an icicle—had periodical chilis for ten
days. D.d you ever see a Venus in linsey-wool

call her the • While Plover,' seventeen, plump as
a pigeon, and smooth as a persimmon. How the
dt. vil, said l to myself, soBioquiz:ngt the first night
l e'ept there, am I to go to bed. before this young
Udy! 1 do believe that my heart was tupsy-tur
vied, for the idea of pulling off my boots before
the gul was death. And as to dotEng my other
fivtues, 1 would sooner have my leg taken off
w.th a wood-saw. The crisis was .tremendous.—
It was nearly midnight, and the faintly had been
hours ini bed. Miss Serena alone remained.—
Bright as the sun, the merry minx talked on. It
was portentiodsly obvious to me at last, that she
had determined to outsit me. By repeated spas
modic efforts, cty coat, waistcoat, cravat, boots
and sin ks were drawu. During the process uiy
beautiful neighbor miked on with una\ cried eyes,
and with that peculiar kind of placidity employed
by painters to embody their idea of the virgin. 1
dumped myself down in the i nan, in a cold per
spiration. A distressing thought occurred to me.
Does not the damsel stand on a point of local eti
quette? It may be the fashion of tnese people to
see strangers in bed before retiring themselves.—
Had I not kept those beautiful eyes opeu, from
ignorance of what these people deem good breed
ing? Neither the lady's eye# or tongue belryed
the least fatigue. Those large yet eyes seemed to
dilate and grow brighter as the blase of the wood
fire died away; but doubtless, this was from kind
consideration for the strange wakefulness of her
!guest. The thing was clear. I determined to re
tire, and without delay. I rose with firmness,
unloosened my suspenders, and in a voice not al
together steady, then said—
“ Miss Serena, 1 think I will retire.”
“Certainly, sir,” she quietly observed, “you
will lodge there, sir,” inclining her head towards
a bed standing a few yards from wCe-re she was
sitting. 1 proceeded to uncase, entrenching my
self behind a chair the while, fondly imagining
the position afforded some security. It is simply
plain to a man in his senses, that a chair of the
fashion of the one that I had thrown between my
self and • the enemy,' as a military man would
Stay, afforded almost so we ir-tv at all. s» amt,
m fact, than standing up behind a ladder-rnoth
ing in the way of the artillery of bright eyes, as a
poet would say, sweeping one down by platoons.
Then 1 had a dead .upea space of ten feet be
tween rue and the Uni: a sort of bridge of Lodi
passage, w hich I was forced to make exposed to
a raking fire fore and aft. Although 1 say it, who
should not say it, an emergency never anise for
which l had not a resource. 1 had one for this.
The plan was the work of a moment; X—”
" Ah! I see—you stormed the battery, and s_”
“Bah! don’t interrupt me. No—i determined
by a bold rase Ur irwrrr, to throw her attention
off. clear the dangerous passage, and fortify my
self under the couoterpame before she recovered
from her surprise. Trie plan failed. You see 1
aui a small man, physically speaking. B-jdy,
iimbs and head, setting up business oh one hun
dred and a half pounds, all told, of flesh, of blood
and bones, cannot, individually or collectively,
set up an, very ostentatious pretensions. 1 be
lieve the young lady must have been settling in
her rm.id some philosophical point on that head.
Perhaps her sense of justice wished to assure it
self of a jierfectly lair distribution of the reaper
■ ■ ni"' ves. Perhaps sh, dui not fi el . a#y unt .
she knew that a kind Providence had not added
to general poverty, individual wn ng. Certain it
was. she seemed rather ph ased with her specula
tions; tor when i arose from a stooping posture,
tina.ly, wholly disencumbered from cloth. I noticed
mischievous shadows luaving about the corners id
tier mouth. it wan she moment 1 had determined
to direct her eya to some asloma.iurig circumstance
out of the window. Hut the young lady spoke a!
the critical moment—
" DmifUits psu’ev gat j m.ghty *m ill ehmmee
af Itgt there.'”
“Men seldom have any notion of their own
powers. I never made any pretensions to ground
and lofty tumbling; but, it is strictly true, I clear
ed at one bound the open space, planted ruysell
in the centre of the bed, and was buried in the
blankets in a twinkling.”
“I congratulate you, my boy,” said I, " ’twai
a lucky escape, truly. But was the young lady
modest*”
“ Modern, sir! there's not in Illinois a more mod
est or sensible girl. ‘It's habit, all habit. I think
nothing of it nSw. Why, it was only last week!
was at a hne wedding pat’y, and a large ami fi'rt
assemble of both sexes lodged in the same room,
with only three tee* or so of neutral territory « ■
twren them.”
*• You astonish me, Mr. Douglass.”
** Fact, sir, upon my honor. You see these peo
I pie are the very soul of hospitality, and never si
low a fine social party to turn out at midnight tc
go a long distance home. All this is more clever
ly managed here. An Hit no.s test baa the powei
of elongation or expansion, perfectly c-ingjuatira
to si range 1.-1. Ore bed four felt wide, wilt, no oc
casion, dank one whole aide of ~i.be. bouse, and 11
called a field bed. and large parties wilt rangt
themselves on opposite sides of the house as eco
nomically as candles in a box.”
The story of J udfe l^ougias* has suggested tt
Field, oi the St. Lo is Reveille, the following nu
uwrou* adventure .of i Missouri politician:
The gentleman of Illinois is not the only gen
th man whose leg* have led him into t-mbair* *
nn-nt. A political friend of ours, equally btppi
in his manners, if no! in his party, with the Mis
souri constituency, found himself, while canvass
ing the State last summer for Congress, eveu hi a
more peculiarly j erplexing predicament than 'ht
Illinois Judge.
There is a spot in the southwestern part of th*
State, known a* the Fiery Fork of Honey Run—i
delicious locality, bo doubt, a* the run of ‘honey1
is of course accompanied w-tb a corresponding flow
of 'milk,* amt a mixture of rmlk and Itonry, or s'
any rale, honey and ‘peace,’ is a great evident
of sublunary contentment, in every place when
they enjoy preaching.
••Honey Run,” further christianized by thej
presence of an extremely nospitable family, whose {
mansion, oumpr.sm* one apartment, neither more I
nor less—is renowned for never being abut against j
the traveller, at the expense of a rfteuaoaUam in !
his shoulder, its numerous unaffected cracks and j
spaces clearly showing that dropping the latch was ;
a useless formality. The venerable host and hos
tess, in then one apartment, usually enjoy the
society of two sons, tour da u A ten, sundry dogs '
and niters, and as manv todge'las they may dteemt;
it prudent to ruit the sotrew at equivocal allot- {
taunt of sleeping partners. Ol«e Aijbl in qaes
urn, our friead, after a hearty dffppci ham and
eggs, and a canvass of the PierTrirtera, the old
lady baring pointed out bis bed, fctt very weary. I
and only looked for an opportumty to “turn in.”
though the musqui'.oe* were trump, nS ail sorts of'
wrath, and no nel appeared fc» Mkrtlsfah. The 1
dogs flung themselves'along the floor, or again 1
rose restlessly and sought the doorstep; ‘he mg ,
gers stuck their feet in the wet. warm ashed. the 1
old man stripped unscrupulously, snd sought hi*
share of the collapsed looking pillow; and the!
sons cavalierly followed his example, leaving the
old w.itnatt, the gais and the stranger to settle any
question of delicacy which might arise.
The candidate yawned, looked at the bed. went
to the floor, and looked at the daughters: finally,
in downright recklessness, seated fomself on the
“downy,” and commenced to pull off hts coat.
Weil, he pulled off his coat, and then he yawned, ,
and then be whistled: then he called '.heotd lady's
attention to the fact that it would never do to .
sleep 1x1 h:s muddy trowsers, and then he undid
he' vest, and then—-suddenly an idea of her lod
tier's possible embarrassment seemed to flash upoa
the old woman, ai*| she said—
“Gals, jisi turn your backs round until the
,stranger gets into bed.”
"Reckon, stranger, as you ain’t used to us,
you ha<l better kiver up tdi the gals undress, had
n’t youv’
By this tune our friend's sleepy fit was over,
and though he did kiver up, as desired, somehow
or other the old rounternami was t-ouallv kind in
biding his Mushes and favor. n< ms *»y glauces.—
The nvmphs were soon stowed away, for there
were neither hustles to unhitch, nor corsels to un
lace, when their mamma, evidently am oua not to
smother her guest, considerably relieved him.
•• You can unkivet now, stranger, l*m married
folks, and you hain’t afeard of me, as I reckon.’'
The stranger happened to be “ married folks'
himself—be unkivervd and turned his back with
true connubial indifference, as far as the ancient
lady was concerned, but with regard to the gals
he declared that Ins half-raised curiosity inspired
the must tormenting dreams of mermaids that he
ever experienced.
LET US TRY TO RE HAPPY.
Let us try to be happy ; we may if we will.
Find some pleasure in life to o’erbalance the til;
There was never an evil, if well understood,
But what rightly managed, would tnrn to a good;
, If we were but as ready to look to the light,
As we are to set mopmr because it a night,
We should own it a truth, both in word and in
deed.
That who trie* to be happy ;a sure to succeed.
Let us try to be happy’ some shades of regret
Are sure to hang round which we cannot forget;
There are times wnen the lightest of spirits must
bow,
I And the sunniest face wear a cloud on its brow;
We must never bid feelings, the purest and best.
To lie nenumted and cold in our bosoms at rest;
But the deeper our mm griefs, the greater our need
To try to be happy, lest utAer hearts bleed.
Oh! try to be happy! it is not for long
We shaii cheer on each other by counsel or *ong,
If we make the best use of our time that we may,
There is much we can do to enliven the way.
Let us only in earnestness each do our best—
Before God and our conscience, and trust for the
rest;
Still taking this truth, both in word and m deed,
That who tries to be happy is sure to succeed.

"Aa American,” bos addressed a letter to tin
London Tunes, ia whirl* be say®—"I have notice*

and siroaticity of coijatroetion seem to be taken ai

Now, sir, in America,—I mesa the United Sutei
— the (peat object aimed at m agricultural n»e
»hau sm of all aorta is lightness and adapted1 ]
us far as may be compatible with the reqntsiii
strength and reasonable durability. The plough
seems to attract more attention than other article*
and 1 must admit lhai to persons accustomed t>
ponderous iron ploughs, 14 or 15 feet Urn*, on
light, short, wooden oncsfpfuttt *s a man could a!
mos: carry tn his hand, seem more «f a toy o
cucoeilT. than'an actual thorough p'ougc. flu
appearances are no? always to be telvcd upon.—
Goad ploughing is done with our ploughs—as goo*
in all respects as by any in the world.’ We han
in America not a few of the best English am
Scotch tanners. They have brought out their fa
vonte instruments, believing that light America'
ploughs to be unfit for good work, bat a very aftor
experience open* their eves, and they soon aban
don their heavy plough*.
“ Tb^te can be nodoubt whatever but that will
our {wot ptrnigiu, either common or subs il. tan
horses can do as much war* as three’or four o
equal strength with the English. 1 have seen a
no great distance from London four horses at tan
dem attached to a plough, and do>ng two horses
work at the slowest pace l hate ever seen fieb
la' it performed. No man could at this day s is
tain himself at farming in such a manner in an.
part of the world.
•‘Our carts, wo guns, cultivators "torse hoes
our pleasure caraa.'es, are all li^ht, and the toon
we can combine lightness with other requisite pro
perties, the better. Our implement* arc chce]
too. The cost of a set of English farm implement
would bay a farm, and a g aid one. u» Auit.r, "j.

£2 or 1E1Q! These <*f eo-iwe a re extra articles
but they show to what extreme’s of cost matter
of this sort are earned here. The practical pot
troa of the English agTir.a bursts feel these things
and complain of them. and complain of the so
called improvements that are every year presented
being only an additional cost in p-itcbaae, an
difficulty in understanding amt working them.
“The English farm labor is an illustration c
that general taste for heavy elaborate artieies.

which is now hereditary, and is attributed to the

Tue Xaeces Valley of the 30th ult., gives the '
, following partinuUr; of a tragrt scene which re
cently took place soma four miles back of that
j town :
A German named Frank, who lift'd m a house
situated as above, with uu family consisting of a
. wife and two children, about three weeks ag.» star™
befl his wife several times, causing almost instant
9 death. A Mexican who stood near by at the time,
T came near being stabbed wiiiie trying in vam to
save the woman. Frank, we are informed, was at
, work in the prairie near home, cutting hav, when
j he remarked to the man who employed him, that
he would go home to get something to eat—that
. he hail had nothing to eat that day—that hi* wife j
was too lazy to cook, and that if he did not And
wmiething prepared he would whip every one out
s of the house, and then cook his rbimcr himself.
i He went home, but instead if finding dinner pre
‘ pared, he found hu wife had a man and a cart at
g | the door, loaded with her furniture, etc., and about
_ to leave for town. Frank instantly drew his
t knife, and stabbed his wife so as to cauje Afloat
j immediate death.
j On intelligence of the affair teaching town, an
4 attempt was made to arrest the murderer, but jhe j
was nowhere to be found.
rJ Three or four days afterwards, a body, recogni
eii as that of the murderer, was found hanging by
j the neck to a tree ; wheu found, it asd doubtless
j been hanging sometime; as it waa impossible to »p
t preach it, in consequence of its ufTensivenesa. The
hands were lied behind the j*ick, making it evi
’ ilent that others thau himself had agency in hi*
, death.
A report was in emulation, last week, that
’ i some Mexicans had bean hired to hang the man
Frank by some person or persons residing in this '
place ; we do not know on what the report is
_ founded. The body of the man has not yet been
,[■ taken down.
