How breathless, still! A mystic glamour keeps
Calm watch and ward o'er this weird, drowsy hour:
Yon heaven's at peace, the earth benignly sleeps;
And thou, thou slumberest too, my woodland
Fair lily steeped in light
And happy visions of the marvelous night!
I waft a sigh from this fond soul to thine-
A little sigh, yet honey-laden, dear,
With fairy freightage of such hopes divine
As fain would flutter gently at thine ear,
And, entering, find their way

Down to the heart so veiled from me by day.
In dreams, in dreams, perchance, thou art not coy;
And one keen hope, more bold than all the rest,

Harpers' Magazine for December has a varied table of contents. "A Pilgrimage upon the Rhine" -an illustrated description in verse of its castled rocks and feudal towers'-is an admirable specimen of the combined effects of pen and pencil. Ross Browne's "Explorations in Lower California” and │| "South Coast Saunterings in England" are illustrated papers which will repay perusal. The usual number of stories-some of them good-will also be found in this number. "English Photographs by an American," an article taken from Tinsley's Magazine, will attract attention, though some of its positions can be answered by a reference to facts-the truth of which, unfortunately for American morality, cannot be questioned. The BureauMajor again appears in a "Report of Outrages,' characterized by his usual frankness.

News Summary.

FOREIGN.

GREAT BRITAIN.

-The Provisional Government has promulgated a decree rearranging the schedule of import duties, and making reductions on many articles. The changes are to go into effect on the 1st of January. All vessels are permitted to enter Spanish ports on paying tonnage dues of from 50 to 130 reals per ton. The reductions of the tariff which were made by decree in October are revoked. Payment of the semi-annual interest on the public debt is provided for. It is officially announced that the elections for delegates to the constitutional Cortes will be held January 15th.

Large public meetings have been held in Barcelona

cessions, with bands, parade the streets, and other demonstrations are made, but though the political feeling runs high, all the proceedings have been peaceable and order is respected. Political parties in Madrid are preparing to make similar demonstrations, and there is every indication of a lively canvass in the forthcoming elections.

Garibaldi advises the Spaniards to have a dictator for two years, and set up a republic.

It is rumored that Gen. Prim is negotiating with the Prince of the Asturias with the intention of making the Prince King of Spain and himself Regent. There are other reports, to the effect that Gen. Prim contemplated a coup d'etat, &c., but they all lack confirmation.
