PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MARCH 6.

The treaty of commerce between England and
Prussia will not comprise more than five or six
clauses, which have been communicated to the re-
maining States of the Zollverein. As the Zollverein
and England already enjoy the reciprocal rights of
the most favoured nation, the present stipulations
can only refer to tariff questions.
The sole object of the treaty is to compel the
contracting parties not to increase, at any future
period, the entry duty upon goods sent from the
Zollverein to England, and vice versa.

Similarly to 'the treaty of the Zollverein with
France, the present convention will be concluded
for a period of 12 years, coming into operation at
the, same time as the new Zollverein tariff, i.e., on
the Ist July, 1865. The signature will take place
as soon as all the members of the Zollverein have
sent in their adhesion.

A GAME OF ROMPS-Wtfli MY BOYS.

BY CHARLES KENT.
" For it is good to be children sometimes."
" The Christmas Card.

Trooping to my study,
In the fire-glow ruddy
Rolling by the fender,
Tumbling down my books :
Scaring student-labours
More than pipes and tabors,
Punch or kettle-mender,
Philosophic looks !

Hold ! you elvish rascal!
Leave my peerless Pascal :
If you want an anvil
Here to play at smith,
Take some earthlier writer—
Further from a mitre—
Take Voltaire or Mand'ville
Thus to trifle with.

Come four urchins rattling,
Seeing who by battling,
With victorious laughter,
First shall climb my knee:
Ranting, roaring, scrambling,
Dancing, prancing, ambling,
As though each a rafter
Strove to rend with glee !

Hist! there, Mark, or may be
You'll be choking Baby—
Giving him for coral
Choice of amber tips,

Meerschaum brown as berry,
Glossy tube of cherry—
Worse than sourest sorrel
To those sugary lips!

Little roguish varlet
Clad in shoes of scarlet,
Socks and frock the whitest,
Blue sash, curls of gold—
Canter, porched a-straddle,
Slipper for a saddle,
Thro' dark eyes—the bright-
est !
Shining joy untold.

0 the joyous clatter!
When, with cushions' batter,
Curtain-cord and tassel,
Some the sofa climb: .

Than the fire for warming
Better far the storming

Of our mimic castle,

Captured time on time.
Now ! who'll play Jack

Hither, chubby Charley !
For one moment's parley ;
Cease thy merry clatter,
Though but for a while
Ruffling yellow tresses
Back from fond caresses,
Loth to stop thy chatter
Even to share a smile.

Horner ? _
Romping Puss in Corner ?
Skittish Hunt the Slipper !
Blundering Blindman's Buff ?
Wheel away the table,
Madcaps fresh from Babel I
Let each elfin tripper
Find there's room enough.
Till the fire-glow ruddy
Chequers all my study,
Bookcase, floor, and ceiling,
With a Shadow Dance I
Filling gloom with brightness,
Heaviest hearts with light-

Sweet-eyed, laughing
Loitering willy-nilly
Near my arm-chair captured
By a furtive hand !
Sage of seven full summers,
Wisest of boy-mummers—
When by fun enraptured
Wildest of the band !

1108
Livelier laughter pealing
As our games advance.
When tired out and flustered,
Round my arm-chair clus-
tered,
Romps, no longer wrestling,
Claim old tales of mirth—
Smiling at our folly,
Marianne with her Dolly,
Noar my footstool nestling,
Crowns the glowing hearth.
'y Magazine for March.

Rosy-warm from coddling,
Baby-Henry toddling
O'er the hearth-rug slowly,
Dimpling hands outspread:
Hither wee, wee blue shoes!
Hither tottering two shoes !
Soft rings—aureole holy !
Crowning thy fair head.

Memorials of Cardinal Wiseman.

The Memorial of the Cardinal, we presume, will
be one hereafter to be erected at that central point
in St. Mary's Catholic Cemetery at Kensal-green,
in which the remains of his Eminence were the other
evening solemnly interred. Meanwhile, a number
of memorial publications of the deceased prelate
have already made their appearance from the
press„ while others are announced as in prepa-
ration. H.E.'s Collected Writings, we doubt not,
will before long be issued—probably in monthly
volumes—and not improbably, we should con-
jecture, by the Messrs. Burns, Lambert, and
Oates, of Portman-street, Portman-square. They
would, these Collected Writings of Cardinal
Wiseman, comprise among their number such works
as "Fabiola," as the argument on " The Connection
between Science and Revealed Religion," as " The
Lamp of the Sanctuary," as the " Recollections of
vatrihenuSsemrmisocensll,antehnensLpeactpeurrses,enthnetrDibruatzasb,yaiiisnd
the Four Last Popes," and so forth, together

duty entrusted to some Catholic ecclesiastic of emi-
nence—some one duly qualified both by scholarship
and by intimacy to undertake the responsibility—
such a man, let us say, as either Dr. Manning or
Dr. Russell. Rumours are already rife as to the
probable biographer of the Cardinal—one of these
rumours averring that Mr. Maguire, the Mayor of
Cork, and member for Dungarvan, is even now
busy in the accumulation of materials for the task—
that hon. gentleman being already favourably
known, as a biographer, through his admirable
memoir of Father Mathew, published only a year
or two since by the Messrs. Longman. Whoever
may be chosen eventually, nevertheless, to be the
biographer of Cardinal Wiseman, the duty ;of
writing the life of a man in many ways so dis-
tinguished, is one worthy of the application to it of
the highest powers and of the fullest energies.
Among other preparations already afoot with
a view to the evidence in a more signal
manner of the affection. and respect with
which the name and fame of Cardinal Wise-
man are cherished—not very surprisingly—among
his co-religionists, it is worthy of particular note
that Viscount Feilding, Viscount Campden, Lord
Petre, the Hon. Charles Langdale, Monsignor Man-
ning, and many others, laymen and ecclesiastics,
noblemen and gentlemen, have been formed into a
committee for the purpose of originating a memo-
rial of his Eminence, worthy in some manner of his
high reputation. Meanwhile—as these remarks of
ours began by setting forth—various literary me-
morials of the Cardinal, of more or less importance,
have already made their appearance, or are an-
nounced as upon the eve of publication. First and
foremost of all, among these, being—beyond any
question whatever—the one, amongst them all, the
most worthy of preservation—the authorised and
carefully-corrected verbatim report, in the form of
a pamphlet of 37 pages octavo, of the remarkable
Sermon—a funeral oration, as affecting and impres-
sive as funeral oration could well be—delivered
(upon the day of the Cardinal's interment) from the
pulpit at Moorfields, by the Right Rev. Monsignore
Henry Edward Manning, D.D., formerly Arch-
deacon of Chichester. Other sermons upon the
same theme—the memory of Nicholas Cardinal
Wiseman—have also made their appearance from
the press as separate publications : such, for ex-
ample, as the one delivered on the 19th ult. in
Bunhill-row, by the Rev. James Conolly. But, it
can hardly be deemed—even by the preachers of
those other sermons, themselves—in any way in-
vidious, that we should particularise the one uttered
by the lips and revised by the hand of Dr. Man-
ning, as—amongst them all—standing quite apart
as a specimen of pulpit eloquence, and more even
than that, as a tribute of reverential and affectionate
friendship..
