Mansfield Torrence has a fence about four feet in the

house* in the streets; nil contrary to the ordinances of
the city. But, ns there olmirtictions nnpear to interfere
with no citizen’s lights, nnd some of them have almost
become a law hv custom, we cun see no good reason for
recismmendmg their removal. Wo would recommend

Memory of the Past*
When backward through departed yean,
On memory’s wing we stray,
How oft we find a solirce rif tears,
Along tlmt wasted way !
The heart will vainly seek the light
That rested there lie fore,
And sadly turn to mourn the blight
Of all it loved of yore.
Wc watch for footsteps that once came
To breathe tho twilight vow—
We listen for the silvery tone
Of voices sile.nt now—
We gazo on old, fnmiliar things,
And marvel that they hear
No gladness to our spirit’s wings
Like that which once was there.
ALL’S FOR TIIE BEST.
AllNi for the be«t; be sanguine and cheerful;
Trouble and sorrow are friends in disguise;
Nothing but Folly goes faithless and fearful,
Courage forever i* happy and wise :
All's for the best—if a man would but know it;
Providence wislie* us all to be blest;
This is no dream of the pundit or (met;
Heaven is gracious, nnd—nil's for tho best!
All’s for the best! set this on your standard,
Soldier of sadness, or pilgrim of love,
Who lathe shores of Despair nuy have, wandered,
A way-wearied swallow, or henrt-Niricken dove;
All’s for the best!—Iss a man hut confiding,
Providence tenderly governs the rest,
And the frail hark of IB* creature is guiding,
Wisely nnd warily—all for the best.
All's for tho best ! then fling away terrors,
Meet nil your fears nnd your foes in tho van.
And in the mid*t of your Juugor* or errors,
Trust like a child, while you strive like a man :
All’* for tho best!—unbiased, unbounded,
Providence reigns from the East to the West;
And by both wisdom nnd merry *urrounded,
Hope and Ini Imppy tlmt All’s for tlie (test.

SATURDAY, APRIL 1, 1848.
GitAH.vM’H Magazine for April.—Wo find on our
tuble tho April number of this ably conducted monthly,
abounding, as usual, with good things. Thu preseut
number contains a splendid and life-like portrait of
Gen. Scott, and other beautiful embellishments, which,
together with tho productions of its unrivalled con
tributors, render Graham's the Magazinoofthc day.
The American Review.—Tho March No. of this
ably conducted whig journul has been upon our table
for Homo days, but we have inadvertently failed to ac
knowledge its reception, or to testify to its many ex
cellencies. It is embellished with a most beautiful and
life-like portrait of the present .Speaker of the House of
Representatives, und contains an unusual amount of
excellent und entertuining reading matter. Ono nrti
cle, in particular, has struck our foucy, os being at the
same time one of tho most able and amusing produc
tions wc liavo met with for a long time. It is entitled
“ John Hull tho compassionate," and exhibits in a lu
dicrous light the urgmnciits of ccrtuin British writers,
who, from motives of pure compassion, aro onduavor-
to convince brother Jonathan that it is the worst kind
of |M>licy for him to cncourugo American industry nud
homo productions, but rather thut we should depend
upon our old mother for them.
The Review contains many other valuable and In-
tercsting articles, which we have not time or space to
notice at present. Altogether, it is one of the very
l>est publications in tho country, and richly deserves
widely extended and lilsirul support.
Fiajrida Oranges.—The Tullahassee Journul of
the 20th, stutcH that a new uml formidable euemy bus
made its uppeumnee in the orange groves in thut State.
An insect of tho smallest, most minute cluss, fastens
itself ujK)ii the tree ; in endless numbers, they spreud
themselves over ull the surface of tho stem, tlie bran
chcs, the young shoots, und foliage of the tree, till cer
tainly, though slowly, it withera uml decays. Tree
alter tree, extensive groves,—have already been de
stroyed. And still the little nml seemingly con
temptihle enemy is currying on his work of de
struction, with accumulating force. There are very
few trees in this scctiou of Floridu it is suid, on which
he has not already commenced liis uttaeks.
No remedy for this now evil bus yet been suggested.
ITT Women, it is said, have more strength in their
looks, than we have in our laws, and more power in
Uieir tears than we huvo in our argunieuts.
Mr. Clay left Baltimore on .Saturday morning, 25th,

Important from China—Auuival of the .Sea
Witch—Shortest Passage on record.—Tho
ship Sea Witch lias arrived hero from China, ma
king the passage in tho nntiHtinlly short period of
77 days, believed to bo the shortest passage on
record.
Four of the iiuirdrrors ol tho six Englishmen, of
wlioio brutal massacre accounts have heretofore
been received, had been arrested, convicted of the
rriim*, and decapitated. A number of others were
impeached as participants, and it was believed
would shore tho sumo fate. Tho bodies of the
murdered hud all boon restored to their friends.
On the 80th of December, immediately prior to
the sailing of the Sea Witch, all was quiet, but very
serious apprehensions and anxiety were felt for
tho future.
Tho British steamer Pluto had committed terri
ble havoc and slaughter upon the Chinese pirates,
destroying many of their vessels and killing a
large number of their men.
Fiiom Texas.—Tho steamship Palmetto brings
dates from (>alveston to the 18th. The papers con
tain little of interest: The Civilian oftne 17th has
tho following paragraph:
A tragical affair hap|>ened it short timo since in
Fort Bend county. A respectable planter, by the
name of Blukely, liecamc purtially deranged on ac
count of his daughter having married, as tho father,
believed, beneath her condition, with attending cir
cumstances unfavorable to her good name, in hia
distracted state of mind the father first shot tho soil
in-law badly, though not fatally, wonnding him,
and then blew out his own brains. The daughter
iH represented to be overwhelmed with sorrow and
remorse.
Gov. Wood sont in a measago to tlie Legislature
in relation to Santa Fe, which country (this side
tho Rio Grande) Texas claims, and will, he says,
never relinquish, liis purpose is to have the Leg
islature take some action to prevent tho inhabi
tants of Santa Fo from proceeding to organize a
Government, &c.
% The Press.—Tho “ Banner of the Cross,” an
Episcopal journal, in speaking of the power of the
press, says:
“If we desire roligious knowledge to keop pace
with the advance of all ether knowledge, wo must
not disdain to uso the agency wiiich the taste and
habits of our times have adopted as the chosen
means of oMaiuing information. It would, per
haps, aatouinh us, had we tho moans to discover,
how many minds in this intelligent day, de(
for all tho knowledge tliey acquire through the
press, xi|Kiii iuu'aAnd how many more of
higher intellectual grade, derive their whole knowl
edge from Periodical Literature. And thus it is
that religious intelligence, coming In the columns
of a newspaper, secures attention, when in all oth
er shapes it would bo disregarded."

The Watek Cuke.—On Friday morning a*
limit forty convicts in the Bing Sing, N. Y. prison
declared they would not work unloss their rations
of beef were changed lo that of pork. The officers
of tlie prison were by no means willing to yield to
this demand, and instead of giving the pork they
concluded to test the efficacy of the water cure in
tint shape of tlie sliowerbatli. They “douched’’
twenty-six the flrst day and fifteen the next, and
with tliu most |icrfcct success: for the fractious
prisoners went to work anti ate their rations ot
beef without further grumbling.
A New Fabric.—Among the intelligence
brought by the last steamer, ia tlie following ae-
count of a new production, which had excited much
Interest;
“ The owner of some spinning mills at Berlin
has lately brought into tlie market a new species
of flaxen thread, which is extremely long and sil
ky, white in color, and spun and dyed with extra
ordinary facility. This preliminary material,
which possesses, even in a superior degree, all the
qualities of silk, is likely to compete with it from
its simple and rapid fabrication, and from its price
being very low as compared with that of silk,—
The appearance of this new article of commerce
lias caused a general sensation among the dealers
it tho fair of Lcipzic, and an Englishman has of
fered tho inventor j£j0,000 for his aeent, but this
was refusod, as tlie owner intends to raaerve to
himself tlie benefits of his discovery.”
The Deluge at Massilon.—The deluge st
Massilon, Ohio, in consequence of the opening of
the State Reservoir, near that town, oanaed a
great destruction of property, in bouses pnd goods
—amounting, in all, it Is estimated, to $150,000—
besides doing a great deal of damage to the ca
nal.
Tho Reservoir covered nearly a thousand acres,
and was situated about two miles sast of, and 90
feet above the town. It served as a feeder to tbs
Bolivar level of the Ohio canal. The body of wn
ter was large and deep, and mads the country ad
jacent sickly. The people Intonated hav- mads
repeated efforts with the State authoritities to gat
tho Reservoir abated, and, failing, it is snppoaed
that they have destroyed it as an act of selhptw-
servation, regardless of the terrible conaequenoss
to Massilon and the great damage to the pabiio
works,
