Strong is the power whose strange conttol luipe'B the torrent's force ; Directs the needle to the pole, Ami bid.- the waves of ocean roll lii their 8} pointed course; So powerful are the ties that bind The scenes of childhood to the mind; So firmly to the bear! adheres The memory of departed years. Whence is this passion in the breast ? That when the past we view, And think on pleasures once possessed, In fancy's fairest colors dressed, Those pleasures we renew ? And why do Memory's 1 aius impart A pleasant sadness to the heart? What potent charm to all endears The days of our departed years? True—many a ro-ebud, blooming gay. Life's opening path adorns, JAut uilwho tread, thai path will say.

At memory of depaited years. ' l is distance, our bewildered gaze On former scenes beguiles, And Memory's charm the eye 1 'rays ; For whila enjoyments it display , And robes the past in smiles, Its flattering mirror proves untrue, Conceals the sorrow from our view, And hides the griefs, the doubts, the fears, That darkened our depaited years ! Time, when our own, we oft despise— When gone, its loss deplore : Nor tiil the fleeting moment flies Do mortals learn to prize, hen it returns no more. For this an anxious look we cast, Wiih fond regret on hours long past — For this the feeling heart reveres The memory of departed years. g-lli'Ctll aureus. THE V!H I'! E OF PLItSISTLNUE. BY HORACE URI.FLI.Y. I think the world is very generally misled by that vague term, geniim. Far be it front me to deny that some are bom with loftier capacities, quicker preoptions, happier mental constitutions, than other?; yet I thmk w hat i* best in a human intellect is not capacity but tendency. Of the three decidedly most gifted ami brilliant young men 1 have known, one died in a poor-house, of delirium tremens : another i ui.k into an early grave, respected but also a victim of alcoholic stimulati n; at.d the thud, though liaidlv thirty, i.- to day :i vagabond and cutnberer of the ground, to whom it would he v rv unsafe to lend a dollar. Ail these had not nn rely brilliant cat a cities—they reallv achieved decided suece-s in their bet ter days : they could bo industrious and ef Beirut if they would, and for months at a tin o were so; but they bad not the true pur po-e, or tliey could not have faltered au-.l fallen as they did. Mad they lived less to self and more to human good, they would n v r have been thus deserted bv their gitatdiun angels. 1 know there i? a small ela-s .J whom the world .-ays, "They see tn the heart ol things by tuition; they are poets by impulse only; orators, stat .-men, sages, because nature would have it so." I beg leave to doubt that men of this stamp are a whit more abundant than white crows. 1 know there arc enough who take pleasure and pride in surprising the public with prodigies ol easy and rapid achicvemesits-who would hvo u? believe they have thrown off their epic a canto ter day. and can write you theirquirc of clever epigrams or sonnets belbre dinner. Now I do not question the facility of rag,id and brilliant execution, as the result of past study and acquirements; in fiict, I know of such instances; but look at Virgil's four lines per day—written that day to be read through all future time; consider how I)e- mosthenes made htm-'dfan .orator against a host of natural impediments; examine a fac sonde, of a manuscript page of Byron's po> ni? an i mark the numerous erasures aud interlines!f-t a, arguing slow composition and u puxri 1 ; rain, en I Bote well that the man who writta a ponu, a sermon, an elab orate tevi vr, and oration in a day, ha? been many year.- acquiring the facility, and you will agree with me t hat the vulgar supposi- rion that some are so gifhd by nature that thevjuav achieve di? notion without effort, is contradicted by a thou-atid fact.? where it -eeuis to be sustained by ' ic\ My some time friend, who perished mi.? -r:tbly t f - preltc ids and will diligently acek it.

MOW FORTUNES GROW. It is istonisbtng how enormously large fortunes have increased in this country within the last few years. When John Jacob Astor died, his wealth could not have been estimated at more than ten millions, and, a., late as lRflO, the wealth of bis son, William B. Astor, was not over tweniy mil lions. Now. we are told, it is as great as seventy five to a hundred mil ions. St-war' the dry gods tycoon of New York, was b ir. ly a millionaire ten years ago; now be is said to be worth twenty millions; and hun dreds of prosperous business men in that ct'-'.it city, who pnsses.-ed large fortunes in possess fortunes five or ten times as large now. New York exhibits, most stri ktngly, this process of enormous increase in I rjvtte fortunes, but the same process is presented in nearly all cities. Evetywltere i prudent, careful aud discreet rich men have j growii immensely richer, and we can present IjjftDfß? examples of colossal wealth equal to I jkhose in Europe.

The aggregate wiahh of the any has indeed increased, but not- in a v ratio. The rate of increase has not > over six per cent.—some writers esti b it as low as four and a half; but nidi fa! fortunes have grown at the rate o' twenty and twenty-five per cent. The rth ha- really been at the expense of the ses. The truth probably is, that the I condition of things, that makes the richer, makes the poor poorer. Credi are rapidly growing wealthy, white deb , as a general thing, are becoming more ■ more embarrassed.

RELIGION A NECESSITV.—ReIigion is not I duty, it is a necessity. You might as jwell talk of the duty of breathing, or the duty of having the pulse beat, as to talk of the duty of being religious. It is a duty to breathe, to be sure, and it is a duty to have the pul.-e beat; but wc do not talk of rinse firings as being duties. It is one of the indis Leasable necessities that we should breathe, and that our pulse should beat. And 1 re gard religious life as not only a duty, hut a n-ci—*ity. You cannot be a man and not be a Christian. Everything that makes you relatively better than your fellow men is an indieatiou that you are so far on the way toward a Christian manhood. THE love of money, in its longing desires, j prove lar more harassing to the ntind than: a Source of pleasure, ina-roueh as labor ac i companies the acquisition of wealth, fear its j possession, sorrow its loss. THE LITE OF IKON. A scientific paper has the following on a subject daily growing of greater importance, as suspension bridges, and others construc ted of it on, are more and more coming into use: It sounds a little oddly to hear of the life iof an inanimate thing. But it seems to be pvettv well settled, that things inanimate, I as well as animate, have life periods, vary ing according to circumstances, Thus, iron itself, when wrought into various useful things, has a period beyond which it cannot ; be said to have life sufficient for the purpose j for which it was wrought, it is not simply [ liable to be used up by the wear and tear, j but also to lose its tenacity and elasticity, and to be disintegrated and weakeued —in i short, to lese its life and become useless Jong before it is woru out, and even not worn at i a "- For example, a wrought iron girder [bridge can bear only a certain amount of daily use without rapid depreciation of strength. It must have seasons of ret front strain, just as an animal requires rest, and its life depends on these, if subjected to a h, avy strain, often ; - "bh TiltU Tn' mug rest, its life will be proportionately less tban it would be under other circum stances. The Engineer has gone iuto certain caleu lations to show how long a bridge of wrought iron may bo expected to live, under given circumstances, and comes to the conclusion (hat such a bridge, subject at intervals to a dynamical load not exceeding a fourth part of its powers of ultimate resistance —that is to say, not subject to this strain more than one hundred times in twenty-four hours— may be safe to travel fur about 328 years.— But, as many of the hardest-worked iron railroad bridges are subject to twice, or even ihi ice. this number of daily strains, the conclusion reached is, that a girder bridge cannot be safely counted on for more tban -rbout 100 years. These calculations, if re liable (and we see not why they may not be,) are very important for all uses of iron sub ject to heavv strains. They tend to show that a thing may be as strong as tho best iron can make it, and yet be suhj- ct to loss of strength and life even without wear HEARING OF THE BLIND. The blind boys in school know the step of di their school fellows with unerring ct ainty. Thus, a boy having missed liis friend at, play, be watches for him as the ranks file past, walking round the green -ward, or marching in to dinner. lie hear? the tramp of his friend amid the din and 'he scuffle of the other boys long ere he ha? reached him, and pounces upon bint witli 'he same certainty as though he saw him. Indeed, the blind speak of hearing as seeing. If from the sound, they know that the mas ter has left the room, tliey say, "I saw bint go out." It is a curious fact that blind ocople never run up against each other. Thus, when playing prisoner's la?e —a game which leads to some rough jostling, even amongst boys gifted with their eyes—those sightless little fellows but rarely come into collision with each other. Each boy, when he eiiter.-j the workshop ia which he is em uloyed in basket making—a room twenty feet wide by one hundred and fifty in length —marches up to his own seat and box. never by any chance mistaking his place. If 'hey are in search of a friend, and they hap oen to call out bis name in an empty room. Jiey never stop for an ao-wer. their sens ■ I hearing telliug them that there is no one m it. Mr. Anderson, of Edinburgh, tells us a tale which well illustrates this point. "I had occasion," he says, "to send out a >lind tuau with a mattress; I gave him a bill with it, that be might receive payment.But '0 my surprise, he returned with the ao •ouut and the mattress too. 'l've brought • ack boith, yo see. sir,' said he.—'How so?' 'lndeed, sir, I dinna like to leave't yonuer. else I am sure we wad ne'er see the siller— there's nae a stick of furniture within the door !' 'll >w do you come to know that !' Oh, sir, two taps on the door wi' my stick -oon tell't me that;"'.aud the man's estimate proved to be correct. — Exchowji ANNEXATION OF CANADA. There is on foot a powerful movement in avor of the annexation of Nova Feotia and Canadian Provinces to the United State?. A strong deputation of Nova Scotians who were in Washington last week, and who -peak for their people, say that an over whelmiug majority of the people boldly pre fer being added to the United States, since they were corruptly and against their will, and in the face of their protest, sealed to the new Canadian "Dominion." The cor respondent of the Ft est says: They de clare that connection hateful to them, and, as it seems to be the policy of England not ro interpose against any free movement of the colonies to set. up for themselves, they !o not anticipate any resistance should they vote for annexation to the United States. It is said on good authority that Hon. B. J. Walker will sustaiu this movement in a powerful argument. He is quoted as say ing that Congress should vote down the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada; that, free-trader as he is, he postpones his favorito theo r y belbre the necessity of re fusing free trade to the dependency of a na tion that was so ateadily our enemy during the rebellion. Jj Canada wants free trade she must join the American Union. This is a new and startling view of an old subject, and becomes an important ingredient in the adjustment of the Alabama claims. Refuse Iree trade to the Caoadas, and thev will be compelled to cut loose from the home gov eminent. They cannot exist with their' products taxed nnder our tariff; and so it may happen that long before England agrees to settle our "little bill" for protecting the i rebellion and driving our commerce from the seas, at a cost of hundreds of millions of ! dollars to our merchants, Canada may be in j a blaze with the annexation fever. THE following is told in paris of a London logger. The beggar was in the habit of sitting on one of the London bridges, ac companied by a dog with a placard insert!- ed "Blind" attached to his nock, and was fortunate enough to awaken the charitable sympathies of a gentleman, who, every morning when he passed the mendicant, dropped a penny into the hat. One day the usual donation was omitted and the supposed blind man ran alter his benefactor as fast, as his cratches would permit, and boldly asked why the usual penny had not been forthcoming. "Why, I thought you were blind." exclaimed the man of charity, amazed. "No, sir, it is not I." replied the beggar, "It is the dog."
