Americas Power over England

The following singular passage is from
the last British book on the United States,
Mackay's Western World:
"As regards the supply of cotton" says
Mackay, "we are as much at the mercy of
America as if we were starving, and to her
alone we look for food. She need not
withhold her wheat; America could starve
us by Withholding her cotton. True, it is
as much her interest as ours to act differ
entity; and so long as it continues so, no
difficulty will be experienced. Buta COM
bination of circumstances may be supposed
in which America, at little cost to herself,
might strike us an irrecoverable blow; a
crisis might arrive, when by momentariIy
crippling our industry she might push in
and deprive us of the markets Of the world.
And who, should the opportunity arise,
will guaranty her forbearance? Fill Eng
land with provisions-lct her barns be
choaked and her graneries bursting with
their stores; what a spectacle would she pre-
sent on stoppage of one years supply OF
cotton! 1t would do more 10 PROSTATE her
in the dust than all the ornaments which
America and Europe, combined, could hurl
against her. What tremendous power
IS this in the hands of rival''

formed TO do extensive good by modes m
inteiligible to vulgar minds. Hence, like
those erratic orbs in the ornament, it is
their fate to be miscomprehended by fools,
and misreprese ated by knaves; to be a.
bused for all the good they actually do,
and to be accused of ills with which they
have nothing to do, either in design or
execution.

THE HORE WRECK
BY F. s. JEwETT.

When, in the hour of wakeful dreams,
Our passions sink in pensive mood,
And voiceless meditation seems
A priestly heraldry of good,
The trembling soul, enwrapt in fears,
Subdues what virtue e'er abhors;
And, wandering backward through the years,
Communes with spectre monitors.
The memory is dreary track
Beside dim and sullcn deep;
And we who sadly saunter back,
Discourse with shadows, as in sleep:
Upon that shore Of solemn peace,
These teachers haunt the paths we tread;
And earth.born aspirations cease
While there we group the quick and dead.
The rainbow showers of childhood's grief,
Aud those delights that urged US on,
Ere blooming hope had cast leaf,
Or care had dimmed the lustrous dawn,
Again steal o er us, and reveal
Strange records for maturer time;
And, IN these lonely walks, we feel
Their influence over manhood's primo.
The scenes whose ways were travelled when
The heart, untntored yet in guile.
In faith, observed fair deeds of rlen,
And from them sketchcd the world tn
while,
Are peopled there with forms uncouth;
And there the haggard dreamer stands,
Where ships. hope laden in our youth,
Lie wrecked and rot,ing on the sands
We gaze, and earth's illusions fade;
Truths beacon CLEANS athwart the tide;
And, in the startling light portrayed,
Behold the fate Of human pride:
Its scattered fabrics mouder where
The waves remorseless, ceasoless roll
The dark, Overwhelming waves OF care,
That swallowed up the eager soul.
And, oh. amid this dread repose,
What schemes of high renown we greet!
Alas. the darksome billow strews
Their towers in mockery ut our feet!
Heart. .burnines chilled, wild visions past,
With al! the glorious hucs they wore;
In ia iih exalted, left, al last,
SLeer wrecks decaying en- the shore!
Nor dreams of folly only-kind,
Congenial passions, which the soul
Embraced when frs, the tender mind
Was con scous of their mill control
Even these upon that tide were launched,
With silken sail and breeze SO fair.
How soon their frightened hopes were
euenched.
The wave has cast the fragments there.
All! such the relics which appear
To every retrospective gaze;
such relics each returning year
Along this desert shore displays.
A thousand glitteriug marks we view.
Where life's perspective valleys stretch;
How lone, how desolate the few
That greet US " hen those Wales we reach
And by this shore Of wrecks, We learn
Deep lessons of mysterious lore;
Whence uwed and half subGued, we turn
More fitted for the scenes before:
And thus the teachers of the past,
That truthful world in memory's scope,
Follow the pilgrim to the last,
To chide regrets chasten hopo,
