AGONY
"Oh agony!” keen agony,
For trusting heart to find
That vows believed were vows eoneeived
As light as summer’s wind.
Oh agony! Fierce agony,
For loving heart to brook,
in one brief hour the withering power
Of un impassioned look.
Oh agony! deep agony,
For heart that’s proud and high
To learn of fate how desolate
it may be, e’er it die.
Oh agony! sharp agony.
To find how loath to part
With the fickleness and faithlessness.
That break a trusting heart.

There were in the port of Galveston, a few days since,
thirty-five sail. What an increase of shipping to that point
has been made within a short time! Three years ago,
and for weeks, nay months, you would hardly see a vessel
approaching the island. Mexican jealousy, and Mexican
want of enterprize, kept down with an iron hand any-
thing like business and activity. Ignorance reigned in the
