In the latter part of the previous year he had led a campaign which resulted in tbe incorporation of Quito, Paste and Guayaquil into Columbia, He made a tour through Peru and was every where received with the wildest enthusiasm. In 1825 the Southern part of Peru was erected into a separate state, and named Bolivia in honor of him, and he was chosen its president for life. He framed a constitution for it which he proudly said combined the political wisdom of all ages and nations, and which was a com- pound of all possible (political institu- tions, ancient and modern, it provided fur a legislature of three houses tribunes senators, and censors all elective. This legislature was to elect the president and he to have the power of appointing his successor, the vice president. This constitution was probably the greatest weakness of his life; it teemed with vis- ionary crotchets ; and its single sound principle, that of religious toleration was subsequently abandoned.

His real purpose was the rather Utopian one of forming all South America into one federative republic. His enemies charged that he wished to make himself emperor over this Vttbt domain, though Bolivar's whole life gives the lie to the accusation. With all his faults and weaknesses he was sincerely devoted to Republican in- stitutions; all the glory he sought to attach to his name was the founding of the greatest republic known to history.

This time it was accepted on condition of his quitting the country. Just as he was about to teave he died at San Pecho, Dec. 17, 1830. About a month before his death he wrote a letter to GeD. Flores of Ecuador in which he said: "I have been in power (jo he mandado) for nearly twenty years, from which I have gathered only a lew definite re- sults: "1. America, for us, is ungovernable. 2.

This country will inevita- bly fall into the hands ot the unbridled rabble, and Utile by little become a prey to petty tyrants ot all cjlors and races. 5.

From the very date of their independence these nations have been in a stale of chronic anarchy and intermin- able convulsions.

When we consider his ma- terial and surroundings we must wondor not that Bolivar failed in his efforts for political reorganization, but that he had the nerve or executive capacity to escape How a Toad Undresses. A gentle- man sends to an agricultural paper an amusing description of "How a toad takes off his coat and pants." He says he has seen one do it, and a friend ha seen another do the same thing in the same way : "About the middle of July I found a toad on a hill of melons, and not want- ing him to leave, I hoed around him ; t ' appeared sluggish and not inclined to move.

The Sugar Maples.Along the vale and o'er the hill

Iseeablueandsmokyhaze;The afternoons are warm and still,

And presage longer, warmer days.The bluejay on the sumach bough

Is screaming with discordant note;The phcebe bird asouses now

The longing heart with trembling throat.

The hills are peeping through the snow,And buried fences greet the view ;

On bare, brown knolls squaw-berrie- s glow,Or tiny Saunt in blue.

The fresh, new earth now scents the gale.As, rising from her sepulchre,

She casts aside her snowy vailAnd greets her train who wait for her.

The gathered odors of the flowersThat lurk within the maple's veins,

The golden light of Summer hours,The hoarded wealth of Bummer rains,

The garnered sweetness of the yearsThat pulses through the mighty trees,

Await a wound to flow in tearsSweet as the hoard of shining bees.

president, for tbe sixttt time in April1830. This time it was accepted oncondition of his quitting the country.Just as he was about to teave he diedat San Pecho, Dec. 17, 1830.

About a month before his death hewrote a letter to GeD. Flores of Ecuadorin which he said:

"I have been in power (jo he mandado)for nearly twenty years, from which Ihave gathered only a lew definite re-

sults:"1. America, for us, is ungovernable.

2. He who dedicates his services to a

revolution, plows the sea. 8. The only

thing that can be done in America, is toemigrate. 4. This country will inevita-

bly fall into the hands ot the unbridledrabble, and Utile by little become a preyto petty tyrants ot all cjlors and races.

5. Devoured as we shall be by all possi-

ble crimes, and ruined by our ferocious-

ness, tne Europeans will not deem itworth while to conquer us. 6. If it were

potsible lor any t of the wor.d toto a stole of primitive chaos, that

would oe the last stage of SpanishAmerica."

How fearfully have his predictions beenfulfilled. From the very date of theirindependence these nations have been ina stale of chronic anarchy and intermin-

able convulsions. Ambitious generals,rapocious d magogues, nnd violent

people to support them, are to-d-

How a Toad Undresses. A gentle-

amusing description of "How a toad

takes off his coat and pants." He sayshe has seen one do it, and a friend ha

seen another do the same thing in the

"About the middle of July I found a

toad on a hill of melons, and not want-

ing him to leave, I hoed around him ; t '
