NIGHT IN -THE FOREST
In the year 1852, a naturalist, actuated by
flt,..spirit,-.of adventure which has character
zed that clas s, -made an excursion to Cape
Manibique, in Central America, which.sepa
rat es is part of Cape Amatique from that of
Hondurus. at the tnrthest end of the Oarrib,
bean Hen: Leaving his companions on hording;
he started alone on tho line of the coast, the
whole of which is bordered by a dense forest,
walking for several Miles through a burning
,sand until he reached the dwel'ing of it young
Englishman named SteVOIN, 'Who had thi3 di•
I rection of the gathering or coc l moints on the..
whole territory of Slanabique, for which per.
Ipose he
.employs a tuniill gang of Spaniards,

Ithe greater . nnother criminals who e.iettped
from the pursuit of•justice. hy'?aking refuge
in those solitudes. Apove 15U 000 cocoanuts
are annually collected hero - Some idea of
i the arduous life Mr Stevens leads, may be
gathered from the fact dist he has to traverse,
en foot. large tracts of unteodden lorests. and
to paddle alone, in small, leaky canoes . along
'the coast...exposed to the assaults .if the law- .
I less workmen to the attache of wild animals,
and to the continual bites and stings of nu
morons species 'of insects.
Our naturalist rested here for a few hours,
and then, after begging 3 few roasted plan
tains, resumed his peregrinations. Ilow he
'passed the night in' the. forest. we will permit
him to relate himself:
The beach, front this point onwards. pre
sents a monotonous and dismal aspect ; it is
'that and.santly, HMI shows few signs of life.—
Now and then a broad pelican, flying heavily
over the boundless Ocean, or resting on some
wove, andlooking like a distant canoe, or a
bird or ploy soaring high above the in ighbor.
ihg forests, or a few small sand pipers trotting
along the pools, are the only moving things
which divert the strangers attention from the
numerous Mournful remains of wrecks which .
aretareivn eking the whole of this inhospita
blMrcorlirt.
"'I travelled on for many taildi until, tired
and sorrowful at heart, 1 sat down on a pros.
tratirpnlm tree. Around me lay scattered the
cut minas of some large merchantman, with
fragments of Pope and iron work still etiolated
to them, broken barrels, boards, honey climb
ed by the ~naly-worm fragments of boats,
loose oars, rind even clothes, trunk; and iva
ter-worn articles of toklet.. It. was a Main
choly picture of desolation. Vefore lee was
spread, far and witle.the expanse of the ocean;
not a sail was or. it, flour speck . blemished its
immensity' Behind me c ot ood the dark . and
gloomy forest, from whose shade echoed nei.
titer the song of the bird nor the chirp of the
insect. Alt around me was vast and silent.
It seemed as it' I had lett.this merry world of
ours, and hod alighted ow sonic abandoned' or
fallen planet, I felt so small and weak—such
on mom in creation at this moment I was
the only human 'inhabitant on the coast, the
only lord of t h e .domain. : I reigned, as it
were, over the death of maitre, and yet I felt
weak:and had no pride about me.

For the fi rst tu . ne. during my travels IMS
lonely. I wished sonic one were with me. I
longed to lie elsewhere. My imagination. ex
cited by the effects of my long exposure to a
tropical sun, would have its . own way. I saw
the noble ve•sel to which had belonged those
spars, drifting on . a stormy sea: I saw it over
taken by the hurricane; I saw the drowning
mariner clinging to it. until 'lie dropped into
acridly ; I heard the 'distant wailing of the
mother for her son, who luid never returned ..
from sea. and the gnashing_of the teeth of the
greedy.sharks as they tore to pieces the lac
erated body. And then the woods around me
disappeared and were replaced with fields of
waving wheat, and the desert ocean was cov
ered by the white sails of pleasure heats: and
I heard the sweet music brought to me by the
evening breeze. The scone was beautiful and
full of life, nail I felt happy. Myr:much
