Yes, there she is, paler and thinner than in her Kentucky home, with a world of quiet sorrow lying un er the shadow of her long eye- lashes, and marking the outline of her is e mouth! It was plain to see how old an firm the girlish heart was grown under the discigine of heavy sorrow; and when, anon, her dark eye was raised to follow the gambols of her little Harr , who was s rting, like some tropical butter , hither ansothither over the floor, she shows a depth of firmness and stead resolve, that was never there in her earlier and ha pier days. y her side sata woman with a bri ht tin pan in her lap into which she was carefu sort- ing some dried peaches.

Her hair, grtislly si vered by age, was rted smoothl ck from a high placid fore ead, on whic time had written no inscription, except “ Peace on , good will to men :" and beneath shone a large pair of clear, honest, loving, brown eyes: you only needed to look straight into them, to eel that you saw to the bottom of a heart as and true as ever throbbcd in women's soin.

This is founded on the reports made by masters of steamers and vessels to the Custom-House, but as it is known that during a large por- tion of the year the steamers came up crowd- ed to their utmost capacity, bringing a much larger number of passengers than allowed by law, and of course they would dare to report, it would be safe to add 10 per ccnt., or 6,464 to the number given above.
