flow tbrillo once more the lengthening Chain
Of memory at the thought or thole.! . - •
Old bops wind! long in dust have lain,
Old dreams come thronging back agniti,•
And boyhood lives in me ;
feel its glow upon my cheek, .'
Its fullness of the heart is mine,
1 1 0 whenl:earned to hear thee speak,
Of fused my doubtful eyes to thine.
n e ar again thy low replies,'
I feel thy arm within my own,
And ti midly again uprise
The longed lids of haael eyes
With ,of brown tresses overblown,
And memories of sweet summer eves,
Of moonlit wave and willowy way,
Of stars and flowers, and dewy leaves,
And amilea and tears more dear than they
Ere this thy quiet eye path
My picture of thy youth to see.
When half a woman, half a child,
Thy very arttessness beguiled,
And folly's self seemed wise in me ;
Imo can smile, when o'er that hour
The lights of memory backward stream,
Yet feel the while that manhood's power
Is vainer than my boyhood's dream.
Tears have passed on, and, left their trace
Of graver care end deeper thought,
.And unto me the calm, cold face
Of manhood, and to thee, the grace
Of woman's pensive beauty brought,
On re's rough blast, for blame and praise.
The school-boy's name has widely down;
Thine, in the green and quiet ways .
Of unobtrusive goodness known.
And wider yet in thought and deed,
Our still diverging paths incline :
Tome, the Genevan's sternest creed,
Whde answers to my spirit's need
The Yorkshire peasant's simple line ;
Fur thee, the priestly rite and prayer,
And holy day and solemn psalm ;
For me, the silent reveren:e, where
My brethren gather, slow and calm.
Vet bath -thy spirit left on me
An impress Time has worn not out,
And something of myself in thee,
A shad mt of the past I see
Ltneerme o'er thy way about, •
Not s holly can the heart unlearn
That le'son of its better hours,
Nor yet has 'lime's dull footsteps wont
To common dust that path of flowers

The following letter to the N. Y. Commercial
v" be read wilt' talerEsting profit :
iVnere r. Shatighae, that all vessels come from,
3% .10.4 . is it that it has so rapidly become such an
uni , o;:ant Place
he above questions have often been asked,
ri.n a .port tune, and judging from the immense
:!,e port daring, the past year, they will be
n;.e: repea!ed, for a knowledge of the place is of
Ta pot tance to the commercial public.
By he treaty of peace between H. NI: the Queen
r ti.eat Britain and the Emperor of China, ratified
a.Nalltl4. an the 26th of August, 1842, it was
yee,l that the lollowing ports should be opened
for the transaction of business aflairs, viz: Canton,
Amoy, Fuchau Fu, Ningpo,and Shanghae,and.that
tareizners should have the liberty of residing there
sin ;heir families and establishments at These ports,
irr , he purpose of carrying on their business with
oat or restraint. So tar as Canton is
concerned, this treaty has not been ot much use, as
Orivers are as much restricted now as they have
hoer for many years : not being allowed to go
ne o( 'he original limits assigned them, and every
Po has been resorted to, to throw impediments in
t:.eir way. This Is the principal reason why • the
toreg population has not increased there more
Atli but for this, Canton would Jong since
hare numbered its foreign residents by thousand in
read ot hundreds as at present. -
by reference to the map, the position of the five
Ot!s can be readily seen, and in order to have-a
cotteci Slew of the subjertt, the reader had better
Quoit one.
Amoy is situated on an island of (Weems name,
about 200 miles to the northward of Canton. Its
posilion for trade' is very' good, it being the princi
pal Pon of the Fuhkien province, and many impor.,
ust places in the interior receive their supplies
tarough it. Some hundreds of junks belong to and
u se with this port, and a large business is done at
Formosa, Singapore, and other neighboring places.
The trade here is increasing rapidly, and'the popei-
Ilion is about 300,000.
-Fochan Fu is the capital of the Fuhkiertprovince,
which Is the principal district for black tees.. The
copsiation is about 600,000, but therein ail yet irelry
little trile at this port. .
Nirgpo is situated jn the Cheukiang province,
4 ' l has s population of 300,000, but as yet ' very
titre loteig,rt trade. .
Stuoghae, ate most northern port in the empire,
'Ven for trade, is smutted on the Woosung river,
:es the mouth of the Yanz.stze.kistig, which is
one of the largest rivers of Asia. -, ,Here istoCe the
oPentn g of the port, has sprung op a . basinelm with
incti rapidlty as to astonish the AmeroanS theth
acre., accustomed as they have beep.* itorrie tP

' At Canton 'no exercise of conseereece can be
teken except in the river,;While here' almost
~every
one keeps his horse; and there are fine prrimenadeo
in the country in every direction:
Another great advantage tie port has over Can

the green tea districts, and here be received,
em long , all the green tea of the empire, and even
now, most °f it' entries here, 'Which is' well' , known
to every, one in the trade
The situation of Stianghae, iso,neer, the entrance
of the Yang-atzevkiang, reminds one o INew Orleans,
and like that cittitles the benefif 'of a vast - extent
01 up country, the prOdacts of wbichlow down in '
an uninterrupted streainrand when we reflect that
this river is navigable for junks of large - size for
more than 3,000 mil‘s, it will t!e, at:parent that the
position of, the port is very favorable for trade.. On
this great river and its branchesare situated-in Nan
king., Suchen, and other large Cities, with; a great
number of inialler ones, and the myd" is,. los( in
wonder at the population and the extent oflrade.
In fact the whole cannily is an enigma, and we
knOw but very little more it 'rick!, than 'when
Marco Polo startled , the world by his disoVeries.
When we reflect that from.eiz to eight thousand
vessels are often found at ode of those places;. some
of which are situated 1800 or 2000 inif4s from the
sea, we can form a slight estimate orthe vast inland
traffic, and the little importance of the foreign trade
to the country in comparison with the domestic.
It is computed that twathousand junks of all sizes
arrive annually at Shanghai from the southern pro
vinces, Formosa, Singapore, Penang, Ike., while
the number , that arrive down the Yang etze-kiang,
average six thousand yearly. To these must be.ad
ded the great number of fishing beats with which
the coast of China swarms.
The population of Shanghae is said . he at least
500,000. Within sixty or seventy miles of Shanghae
is situated the great city of Shnchan, the population
of which it ii difficult to ascertain, brit that it is
considerably over two millions there is no question,
and even then it is scarcely that of Nanking. Shu
chan is famous throhgh the country as the Paris of
China, and here more is spent in pleasure and gay
ety annually than even at Pekin, although the tat
ter is the residence of the Emperor and his court.
PLANTING Fara TREES roe aracas.—The Span
iards have a maxim, that a man is ungrateful to the
past generation that planted the trees from which
he eats fruit, and deals unjustly towards the next
generation, unless he plants the seed, that it may
furnish food for those:wfcci come after him. Thus
When a son, pf Spain eaiS' a peach or :pear by the
road side, wherever he is, he digs a bole in the
ground with his loot, and covers the seed. Conse
quently, aft over Spain, by the road sides and else
where,truit in great abundance tempts the taste and
is ever free.
Let this - practice be imitated in our country, and
the weary varlderer will be blest, and will bless
the hand that ministered to his comfort and joy.—
We are bound to leave the world as good or better
than we found it, and he is a selfish churl who
basks under the shadow, and-eats the fruit of trees
which other hands hive plantei, if he will not al
so plant trees which shall yield fruit to coming gen
rations. , .

teach him by gentle , means to curb his temper.—
It he is greedy, cultivate liberality in him. If he
is selfish, promote generohity. If he is sulky, charm
him out of it by frankness and good humor. if he
is indolent, accustom him, to eiettion; and train
him so as to perform even onerous duties with
alacrity. pride comes in to make his obedience
reluctant, subdue him by council or discipline. In
short, give'your ehildrenthe habit of ,overcoming
their besetting sins. Let them acquire from expe.

We find the 'following Letter; from WILLIAM
NICPONALD 4 a Catholic Clergyman in 'lttlanchestet,
taa gentleman in Hartford, in the Times. it was
not originally intended tot , publication,' but has been
driccon out in the controversy . touching William L.
Robinson's Slanders of Gen. PlEaCe:,
- I consider it not-poly fair, but an act of :gratitude
to FttePtKLIN P/C.ttcu,. to emtelpale him from any
implied or expressed coldness in advocating the ab
olition of the New Hampshire "test." I say an
act of gratitude, for t assure ybu there is not another
man in America who More cordiallydetesta bigotry
and exclusiveness than he ; nor was there one in
the Convention of this State, who so energetically
endeavored - fa secure the removal of the " test"—
In the town meetings, called professedly foi its ab
rogation or retention, he used all his brilliant elo
quence to induce the citizens to vote for its 'repeal
I repeat—the Catholics 'of this Slate owe him a
deep debt of:gratitude, which he• has unintention
ally mid frequently imposed on them:
IVhen the Catholic 'Churches - ' in . Philadelphia
were inflames he was the leader in calling a sown
meeting in Concord, and therein he plead thecaase
of the Catholics, and particularly the safety of the
Catholics in Concord..
, When, some three or four years ago, emissaries
from arNew York society, sympathizing with the
Portuguese (who were r aid to be persecuted,) visi
ted Concord, and called a meeting to raise money,
encE stood up and fearlessly pronounced their his.
tory a forgery.
These and many, other kindred facts, in The his..
tory of FRANELIN PIERCE, you may learn from the
Concord Catholics, showing the disinterested hon
esty of the man, and that his *Wand Sympathy,
were tendered before he, or anyone, ever dreamed
of his being nominated for the'Presideney.

in this matter.. The result- was, that documents,'
numerously signed, were obtained from Ilanchti-,
ter, Dover and Other towtii. lititi:BniwitoOn, in his
number for , the present month,. speaking of this
very matter, says the-fools are not all dead yet, and
anew brood is hatched every year. The person
who got up these Counter catifiCatei regard the

upon reading the documents• in toestioti; I . lound,
not only ifiat they Contained contradictory state
ments—a thing which did not concern UM-4W
that they were intended as art impeachment of the
truth of the Certiiiestie signed by me--ney, the doc
oments insinuate that our signatures were not all
genuine. Of course my honor was here concerned.
- I know nothing about the manner in which the
signatures were obtained in Mascbester and coil,

What inducement sufficed tO'bring Mr, Cooney
all the way from Albany, to help the Catholics of
this state settle their own Whine, I will not stop to"
inqpire. Perhaps he ispenionally interested in the
defeat of Pierce. Perhaps Mr. Robinson is—for he

had been badly treated by Gen. Pierce—a thing we
did not know before, and which we cannot; with
all the pains Robinson has taken,' understand' now .
The counter certificates, were, I believe, written .
by Protestants. Perhaps one of them was not. in
dependently of external evidence, there are phra
ses and expressions in them which betray their
protestanvorigin. They may have been, and prob,
ably were copied by Catholics, An high name, as
the Pilot says, will command any price—certainly
any promise—from-politicians, until November
nex t. Why Protestants betray such tender inter.
est in our welfare, and why those Protestants bap.
pen to be interested in the coming election, is a
phenomenon which Ido not profess to explain.
The person who was employed in this place to
obtain signatures from the operatives, is a person of
whose equivocal Catholicity 'l will not now say a
word. Few of the signers ondendond the import
of the paper to which they affixed their names—

son had not already twisted, and after conversation
With certain freesoil notaWes, it was decided that
another. document should be prepared. By the aid
of a partizan postmaster and certain mill agents, at
Fisherrille, a few Irishmen wets coerced to sign
the poker. These pertains assured me that they
knew not whatihe paper contained. They would
have caused the-erasure of their signatutes, but I
did not think It worth while, eenrimeedi rre I tin,
lhat - the doctnitent will'do no bairn.
At West Concord, blr.Cooney and his abolition
friends find a few Irishmen. The names of John
Gallagher and John Lynch were in the Concord
eertificrte signed by me, and two men, also beanng
these names, live at West Concord. These were
asked whether they signed the White certificates,
endorsed by me. No, said they',' Go to Concord,
and you will find another John Gallagher and John
,Lyr ch. The . concoctors professed to know no such
men in Concord, and that no such man would be
found. So that John Gallagher and , John Lynch,
Offircit COncoril were induced to give an affiJavit

Their satic was- an- bones one, of expormi.
The Sohn' Gallagher ? and Jobiirtytteh who did
sign the White doeoment, liveit Concord. know
them, and I know that they signed -it. They are
ready to make an affidavit to this effect.
The Cooney certificate says that ohs Halpin did
not sign the' White certificate, His 'einployer is a
vrhig,"and he, together with Cooney, persuaded
Halpin to swear that he-did not sign that certificate.
It will be recollected that I did not get up that doe
unient...l simply certified that the persons whose
names were appended to it were Catholics, and
that l believed the contents to be perfectly true. I
find upon inquiry that Halpin, when asked to sign
the'pepeP,sneweree, I will, but put down My name
youiselC This circumstance, he conceives, justifi
ed him in smearing that he did not sign it. ,
These things provii that the triumph which the
Cooneyitei supposed they had gained, with reference
to These three cases, is no triumph at all.
Cooney wentto most of the Irishmen known to
be in'tbe employment of whigs, and, as a matter
of course, I fear, most of them signed the paper.=
So far sea know, only one,man refused. His name
I is Conners. The concoctors of the document coax
ed and flattered him without success. The amia
,hie and accomplished daughter of the employer of
Conners also endeavored to persuade him to sign
,i.the paper.
,This was a hard trial ; 'but Conners,
IWIto understood it would seem, the contents of the
; document, steadily refused. u I was bat% up to
I be a DICMOCRAT, " was his constant reply.
-With reference to the Nast= and Dover certifi
cates, I cannot speak !from personal knolledge,
bet if Ibe correctly Informed, their history is very
sip:tiler to that of the Manchester and Concord doc
uments.
From the above facts, it will be evident to the
public that the Cooneyite papers professing to em
body the Cathitlie Sentiment ul New Hampshire,
with, reference to , the test'(the only..matter -I have
many, time touched upon) thust be regarded as the
