Commercial Convention, Small Attendance,
Free Trade Excursion- Party—Portland
Harbor--The Forts-- Diamond Cove
Cushing Island—Maine Liquor Law.
Correspondence of the Pittsburah Gazette.
Ponnania, Mn., August 7, 1868.
Beforeihii will reach you, you will have
heard all abont the Commercial Convention
which has •been beenheld here. A few persons
from abroad, some of whom happened to
be summering here, and a few Portlenders
constituted the Convention. They afisem
bled in a corner of a splendid and spacious
Hall, talked, passed some resolutions, took
an excursion down the bay and adjourned.
The objects, we think, were local, 'a new
railroad to the West and reciprocal trade
with the-Provinces. Remarks favoring free
trade were applauded. To this view New
England is fast inclining. Her commerce,
a great source of her wealth, has suffered
'Severely for eight years, the war driving
trade to foreign bottoms, destroying many
of her , ships, compelling- increased
t h i gh,
diminishing.
and now, by a tariff necessarily high,
diminishing imports. The Convention we
regard as a failure. Even the citizens of
Portland did not engage heartily in it. One
or two men, ever eager for notoriety, un
popular men, got up the Convention; figured
largely themselves and showed their wives
and daughters. The very small number—
about one hundred --who went down to the
islands, in the fine large steamer "John
Brooks," one of the regular line from Port
' land to Boston, shows that ;the whole thing
was unpopular at home. (
Beautiful for situation is Portland harbor,.
Travellers have ever admired it, comparing
it to Naples. The city rises gradually from
the sea, and stands on a longstrip of land
far out so as to present. a full view of its
trees, churches and dwellings to' the enter
ing ship. The harbor is deep,
,admitting
ships drawing twenty-two feet of 'Water, to
any of its docks—is capacious enough to
admit and retain securely the nation's fieet--:
the tide rises from nine to twelve feet, and
ni the largest merchant-ship can, day. , or
ght
• , enter without a_-pilot: "The piers
, built for the Great Eastern some years ago
alloWed her thirty feet at low water. It is
one day nearer Europe than New York.
/ Three forts, "Preble," "Scamnael" - and
• "Gorges," show plainly what an enemy's
ship, might expect. It is well sheltetred and
is very seldom obstructed by ice. It was
down this beautiful harbor_ that our large
steamer, with a few passengers in the
bow and stern, and a fine band of
music ' passed yesterday. The lover
of seclusion could there have been
accommodated, far from human face or
76 voice, so few were the 'company, composed
of citizens and conventio n, / The sky was
clear, the water smooth,snd - the cool breeze
refreshing. The city recedes rapidly, Fort
• Gorges is passed, and we are among the
4 4f . green Islands. The little steamers arepl
m y- -
g between city and islands, laden with
,r pleasure-seekers, the numerous fishing and
pleasure boats are dancing on the swelling
waves; the sober coasters are slowly plow
ing the sea, the astonished islanders are Is
l- zily sitting on the banka . or standing in the
doors of their dwellings, gazing at our
steamer so far from'her accustomed course,
and the say parties of pleasure in their fa
vorite places of resort wave their clouds of
handkerchiefs. Now we pass Diamond(
Cove—most fitly named--made illuatrious
by poet and painter' where, we remember,
the arch-rebel enjoying New England
hospitality
farad
plotting treason with un
suspected friends partook -of fish
chowder in 1860. Now we sad along the
neat 'cottages and churches, and waving
. fields of Great Chebeague, now old White
Head appears in the distance,. where years
ago we stole the eggs which the sea gull had
deposited in the sand, and near which flocks
•-, of them floated gracefully - on the heaving
sea, and now Peak's Island is seen, a famous
summer resort, and flags are waving and
kundreds of fair ones are engaged in their
sporte with lovers and friends. Passing
outside the island where the limitless sea is
seen; we return by Cape Elizabeth, where
are the Atlantic House and Ocean House
with their splendid beach, and the Cape
_ Cottage, a popular brouse, opposite the Cape
is Cushing Island owned by Mr. Cashing,
of Canada. who a few years ago purchased
it and erected the Ottawa House, at an ex
pense of $40,000, commanding a fair view
• • of the ocean, and a favorite resort for the
subjects of Her Majesty. So after feasting
our eyes on charming islands, gems of the
seas, on rocks, and ocean, on fishes in the
water, and birds in the air, on beautiful
women and noble ships, all to the soft notes
of music, we returned to the harbordelight
' ed with the excursion--a free trade, part of
the convention of which we heartily ap
/ proved, protectionists as we are.
We have often heard persons in favor of
free liquor, affirm in Pittsburgh that there's
• as much;liquor drunk in Maine, in spite of
•; the Maine Law, as ever. This we have de
.. nied. We spent three weeks in this State,
in city and country, on wharves and in ho
--• tell, in cars and on boats, and in all this
time did not see a single person at all intox
-1;;• icated. Persons who do sell, import or
•-•• • smuggle their liquors, and do it under 'a
penalty, as they commit any other crime.

BY EZNItY WARD snot En.
After all, what is the use ? We set pp
our house, and one by one the children fly
into it, like birds out of some foreign wood
into a cage--one, two, three, four, and more.
With each one comes also a cry; and that is
the key-note to which a hundred sorrow
add their voices, and gradually swell into
that strange chorus which men call - human
life I For each child there is to be a fringe
of care on the edge of every day. ' Each
child brings burdens and anxieties. Tears
in their eyesi are but. harbingers of many
more in the eyes of all who love them I' To
shape them from infancy to goodness, to
teach their hands to drill their heads, to
repair-their mistakes and secure firm footing
in an honorable manhood, who can measure
the thought, the ( feeling, the endeavor ?
And then, when the long task is done, is
there no compensation ? Or do they not,
one by on; detach themselves, and, like
comely fruit, fall from the bough, on which
they grow, leaving it bare and empty?
That daughter—just as she began to be
full companion, to repay all the labor of he
training—is snatched away by some on
who has known her 'fewer weeks than the
parents have years she goes. The house is
empty of her. Her room, her clrawers, her
books and school tasks, fbndly
.preserved,
carry a sadness to the mother's heart every
time they are looked upon. The boys, al
most before you - drerun that they have ceas
ed tote boys, come asking the father's
blessing on a new comer. By the time that.
father or mother are conscious of age and
infirmity, the whole brood is scattered and
gone. The house is solitary. It used to be
straightened for room when the 'children
rerefat home, but now there is room' too
much. It used to be noisy, but now one
might dose all day, for all the noise. Only the
fire snapping out suddenly, or the drowsy
old clock ticking behind the Idoor, or a kit
ten mewing to get in; or to get out, or a
squeaking rat or mouse, make an audible
noise. When the children are all home, a
man is like a Norway spruce,
'whose' well
grown branches, beginninllM l the level
of the ground, rise up in a perfect pyramid,
shaping the tree to exquisite proportions.
But each child married is a bough lopped
off; leaving a wide 4 space, . until the pat
rent trunk is finally trimmed up like a shaft,
and all the verdure left clinging about
the top.
In Europeari..4ommunities, the children
often marry and settle down around their
childhood home. But this is rare in -Ameri
ca. The endless circulation that is going on
sweeps away the children; and to be mar
ried is almost synonymous with going far
away from home.
All this, Mr. Bonner, describes my state
of mind last week. It is very different now.
Word has come that the grand children
are coming home. Coming home? What!
both the children ? and their mother? for a
good long visit ? Bless their little , hea,rts,
let them come. There's nothing in this
house too good for them. Now, then, we
shall have a household once more.. Children
are the flowers which God sends down from
Heaven to enliven and cheer thislife. What
was I saying a littlebeck, about the care,
and anxiety, and pain, and trouble, of
bringing them np? Stutf—mere stuff, Mr.
Bonner,. I assure you.
Don't believe a word of it. I was surely
in a dream. It- was a
_half nightmare. I
am awake now and do assure you that he
who is fit to have and rear children, will
see ten,yes, a hundred joys to every sor.
row, and the sunshine of their smiles will
turn into rainbows every tear they shed or
cause to be shed.
- If there is anything in this world that
pays as it goes along, it is taking 'pare of
children. Raising flowers is all very well.
But flowers have in them no mischief, they
behave too well, they, lack human nature,
they need the irridescent qualities of disposi
tion that flash from the surface of every
child's life. Children a trouble? Do they
pout? fret? disobey and go wrong? Don't
you with your asters and honeysuckles?
What would you give to have a singing
vin, or a flower that could learn to say its
prayers!
Why, trouble in the nursery is a parent's
pastime. If one don't believe it let him be
left Tor awhile without children. lie will
soon be glad to h&r. that the grand-chikiren
are coming home?
Well, we must get ready for them. Let
the drawers be filled with candy. Get out
the crib, , and put up the -dear little narrow
bed again. Ls
Hunt up the dolls, the wagons, the play
house, the picture books, thestrings. Where
are the tall chairs for the table, and the little
caps, and knives and forks for a child's hand!
It looks like living again
Now we shall be - waked up in the morn
ing by a chubby rogue climbing up on the
bed, and playing tricks with my eyes and
nose! Then will come the trooping, down
to breakfast, and all the table antics. Then
we will go up to family prayers 'and what
a time those children will make of it. Chil
dren are not naturaLworshippers !
But how - patient will we be! Nothing
shall fret us. Already we are more robust'
and shall let 'out the buckle of our girdle
one or two holes. In short, the grand-chil
dren are coming; and in bringing themselves
back to us, they bring back the childhood
of their parents, too, and bring us back to
ourselves!--Neto York Ledger.
