must not ask-I may not drean--
Why heaves thy breast those troubled signs
It is enough that must deem
An answer in my own will rise:
may not giance-l must not gaze
On cheeks WHERE loves own sisnet CLOVIS
Ills madness in my heart TO raise
The thoughts may not e'er disclose.
may not watch-I must not meet
The speaking glance of that dark eve.
IT hath meaning wildly sweet
But ali! mine own dare not reply:
may not touch--I must not press
mat small white hand when trembling
near;
II darts thrill cannot bless
Forbidden, yet more doubly dear.
cannot dwell on thy young charms
For IN my burning brain, will start
The madd'nins thought that other arms
Wlil fold them to guileful heart:
But now tits uselessness to grieve
THAT ours hath been wayward fate
Enough him, whom thou must soon receive,
Thou canst not love-yet may'st not hate.
What boots j. that our days Were bright.
ana hours flew on in rapture thens
For oh it costs deeper blight
10 dwell on thoughts of what has been,
Ket, were our hearts impaired now,
ihough many stain has darken'd miue.
Wnen l'nk'd.t TO one so pure as thou,
Iwouid not have prov'd unworthy thine.
Since thou must seal to him thy VOW
'Tis bitter, but 'tis well we part
The parting hour-'tis even now
In tears !--oh calm thy 'wilder'd heart,
And who bid thee ths-my own
Is wildly throbbing in my breast;

said that all other articles have also fallen,
and that the low price which they bear IS
ewing to the same causes which affect the
value OF other commodities. We hnd by ex-
animation that, in 1916, when the business
was exceedingly depressed, the same kind oil
cotton goods, which now sell for Ia cents.
then brought SO cents, aud those that sell
now for ! cents were then worth %. II will
not be pretended that other articles have fall
len in any thing like the same proportion, and
yei he business is now fourishmg. Central
Wharf, whose communication We this day
publish, attributes the reduction principally 10
"the decline in the price Of the raw material"
This certainly cannot account for the reduction
and its effects, be cause, after deductinS the
IChole cost Of the raw material from me former
price Of such goods, The balance IS much
greater than the present PFtce. 'he feuucI'on
IN the price of the raw material could anord
no relative advantage to our MANUFACTURED
over the foreign one, yet, IT is notorious That,
formerly. our own market was nearly monop-
o.ized by the foreign manufacturer, and that
nOw we can undersell them, even in foreign
marts, and make profitable business OF it.
Why then not attribute this effect to lis true
cause.-the Increased skill and capital engag-
cd ia the business by the application of the
adequate protection Of cur Government:
This subject is often treated as ii the manu-
facturers were the only class in the communi-
ty whose industry was protected by duties
How stands the fact? The planter Of Caro-
lima and Georgia is protected by u specific dlt
~ equivalent to 60 or 20 per cent. on the value
Of East-India cotton; the sugar grower o.
Louisiana by like duty equal at least to Sc
per cent. while the beef, butter, cheese, hams
lard, pork, whiskey, &C. of the middle and
northern States, are protected by duties vary
ing from 40 TO $50 per cent. SO much for the
outcry of exclusive privileges, which comes
with peculiarly ill grace from the planters
nf the south

STEAM BoATs.-The first Steam Boat ever
pu into successful operation, was the Cler.
mont, built by Fulton, which started from
Naw-fork for Albany, Sept. 10, 1907, with
12 passeugers. She performed the passage in
80 hours. When about to start, the multi
tutes Oh the wharves :' INDUCED in the pop
ular incredibly, and vented jeers and jokes
without number, until she left the wharf, aud
advanced, by invisible impulse, swiftly into
the stream, when she was hailed by the ill.,
voluntary applause of convinced thousands.f
The inhabitants on the banks of the North
River were astonished to see such monde
script monster, without the aid Of sails or any
apparent propelliBg power, travelling Gercely
up the river against wind and tide, emitting
flames and smoke as she went along. There
are now near 400 Steam-B Boats on the waters
of the United States. They were not intro
duced into Europe till 1912, when one was
built on the river Clyde, in Scotland. Since
that time they have rapidly increased in
Great-Bri'ain, and are now in operation in
most parts OF the civilized world

CaNGREss BY reference TO our Congress
siona gisrrr, it will he seen that several inn
portaut subjects are now under discussion
the manufacturers bill the bill for the relief
Of the Revolutionary oficers-the Bankrupt
Bill-and the bill for the regulation of the
Colonial Trade. The fate of all of them is
considered uncertain, though, from a vote
taken on the former, it is apparent that ma
jority OF the House OF Representatives are dis
posed 10 grant some relief. The bill for regu-
hating the Colonial Trade, involves a similar
principle; the real question being, whetheI
government viii protect the commercial inter
Sst against the monopolizlng regulations of the
British Government, and, as the outcry OF en-
etasaUe privileges has not been raised against
that class of the community, we apprehend
the bill will pass.
