At the hearing of this; ye may swear, though, I was as mad as a grasshopper, but I renumbered that I was Sir I’atbrick O’Grar.di- son, Uarroniit, and that it wasn’t altheg’ther gentaa! io lit the anger git tbe upper hand o’ the purlitencss, so I made light o’ the mrtlter and kipt dark, and got quite sociable wid the little chap, and afther a while what did lie do but ask mo to go wid him to the widdy’s, sayin way of the answer. “ Thrue f Jr you, Sir Pathrick, mavourneen, and it’s a proper nato ginileman ye urs—that God’s truth,” and vvi.l that she opened her two bcuutifu' peepers till I belaved they wud ha corn’d out of lier hid alte- gitlier and intirelyq and she looked first as mad os a cat at Mounseer Frog, arid thin as smiling as all out o’ doors at mesilf. * “ Thin,” says lie, tlio willian, “ Qch hon ! stand f irth.

We’ll soon see now whither its your swatc silf, or whither its little M'lunseer Maiter-di-dauns, that Mistpress Trade is lr ad and cars in the love wid.” With that lie wint all' to the widdy’s, next door, and ye may well say it was an illigant place; so it was. There was a carpet all over the floor, and in one corner there was a fortv- pinuyanda jews-liarp and the divil knows what ilse, and in another corner was a sofy, llie beau- tlfiillest thing in all natur, and sitting on the sofy, sure enough, there was the swale liitle an gle, Alitlhress Trade. “The tip o’ ihe morning to ye,” says I, “Mrs. Trade,” and thin 1 made sucli an ilignnt oliaysance that it wud ha quiio altegither bewil dered the bruin o’ ye. “ Wully woo, puily woo, pblmp in the mud,” says the little ftirronner Frenchman, -‘and sure Airs.

You percave the lit lie spalpeen is suninrat down in (lie month, and wears his lift band in a sling; and it’s for that same tiling, by yur lave, that I’m goin to give you the good rason. The truth of tlie houl matter is jist simple enough; fur tlio very first day that I coin’d l'rom Connaught, nnd showed my swate liitle sil; in the strait to tbe widdy, who was looking through tho windy, it was a gone case ahegitb- er wid tlie heart o’ the party Misthress Trade. ; I pcrcaved it, vo si e, all at once, and no mis- | take, and flint’s God truth. First of all it was up wid tbe windy in a jifly, and thin she threw ! open her two peepers to the itmost and thin it was a little gonld spy-glass that she clapped tight to one o’ them, and divil may burn me if it did’nt spake to me as plain as a peeper cud spake, nnd says it, through the spy-glass, “Och! tho tip o’ tbe moruiri to ye, Sir Patlirick O’ Grandison, Barronitt, mavourneon : and it’s a nate gentleman that ye are, sure enough, and it’s mesilf and me foitin jist that’ll be at yur sarvice, dear, innv' time o’dny at all at all for the asking.” And it’s not mesilf ye wud have to be ba .e in the puriiteness; so I made her a liow that wud ha broken yur heart althegither to behould, and then I nulled aflf me bat with a flo.jrish, nnd thin 1 winked at her hard wid both eyes, ns much as to say, *• Thrue for you, yer a swate little crature, Mrs. Trade, me darlint, and I wisli I may be rlrownthed dead in a bog, if its not racsiif, Sir i’atbrick O’Grandison, Bar- heart good to percave die illigant double wink 'i that I gived her jist thin right in tlio face wid both eyes.

And by and by she gived mo such a swate smile, from otic ind of her mouth to the ither, that it made me as bould as a pig, and 1 jist took liould of flic ind of her little finger in tho most dillik'ttC't manner in na- tur, looking at her all the white out o’ the whites of my e ves. And then ounly to percave the outeeess of the swate angel, for no sooner did she observe that I was afther the squaring of her flipper, I than she up wid it in a jifly, and put it away : behind her back, jist as much as to say, “Now tiiin, Sir Pathrick O’Grandisen, there’s a bit- ! t'.ier chance for ye, mavourneen, for its not alto- giiher the gentaal thing to be afther the squa- I zing of my flipper right full in the sight of that I little furrenn Frinchman, Mounseer Maitre.di- i dauns.” Wid that I giv’d her a big wink jist to say, “ lit Sir Pathrick alone for the likes o’ them tliricks,” and thin I wint aisy to work, and you’d have died wid tlie divaision to behould how cliverly I slipped my right arm betwane the back o’ the sofy, and the back of her leddy- sbip, and there, sure enough, 1 found a swate little flapper all a waiting to say, “ the tip o' the mornin to ye, Sir Pathrick O'Grandison, Bar ronitt.” And wasn’t it mesilf, sure, that jist g.v’d it the laste little bit of a squaze in the world, all iu tbe way of a commencement, and not to be too rough wid her leddyship? and och, botheration, wasn’t it the gentanlest and dilikittest of all the little squaz.es that 1 got in return? “Blood and thunder, Sir Patlirick, mavorneen” thinks I to mesilf, “'fait it’s jist the mother’s son of you, and nobody else at all at all, that’s the handsomest‘and tbe fortuniltest young bogtlirotter that ever cum’d out of Con naught?” And wid that 1 giv’d the fl pper a big squaze, and a big squaze it was, by the pow ers that her leddyship giv’d to me back.

Atone period of Kenton’s eyontful career, he was sitting on a rude bench in front of his cabin, smoking *a corncorb pipe, and entertaining a number of‘'responsibilities’* with narratives of by-gono days, and stirring events in which he was a prominent actor. The sun had ‘gone down in a blaze of glory,’ as the novelists say, tinging the forest with a mellow tight, and robing in gorgeous liuos tlie giant oaks that stand like pillars against the ce rulean firmament. An Edenlikestillness reign ed around the humble dwelling of tITo war-worn vater.ii;—tho hum of insects ceased, and twi light was stealing on apace, soothing the turbu lent passions of our nature, and lending an inde scribable charm to tbe woodland scene. At this moment a noise was h »rd by Ifen'on, n r .‘I in an instant the form of an Indian was seen emerging from a thicket in front of tho hot.— The red man did not advance with the caution of his tribe, but crushing the reeds that obstruct ed his passage, marched with a bold step to the j cabin, and stood before Kenton “in ail his native ; majesty.” ‘Good evening,’ said tjic Indian, who spoke oood English, ‘how is Mr* Kenton, the Eagle : Eye. ns we call him?’ ‘Well, very well, you red-skinned vagabond! i What brought you to Simon Kenton’s cabin at such an hour as this?’ ‘Revenge! “Why are the people .. , i )us. >'t v-tiiii- j lQ i;, ose buise-strings,ond io s;- moos, a few years ago with regard to the col- r, ,i •. ?. . > w- • • .. . -,.

But Yusco de Garni discovered the p i-sage around the Capo of Good Hope. This discovery, like Dr. Franklin's' river ocean, changed tiie course of trade; and the trade of Alexandria, like that of Charleston, languished and foil. But Alexandria had not the recuperative energies of our southern ports. Sne fell to rise no more for ages, while they have become the producers, the expo: tors, the chief seat of the elements of commerce. They send more than hull', if not two-thirds, of (lie surplus produce of the count rv. But they send it forth freighted to death, and receive no re luming cargoes to make their rade reciprocal, and to give life Itx their commerce; “Churiesion and Savannah, Mobile and New Orleans, from their geographical -positions, from the immense supplies of raw materials which flow through them into the channels of commerce, frpui ibe circumstance that noue of our neighbors bordering on tho Gulf ara a mariiime people, are in a situation to com mand the trade with all these people, and to make it regularly pa^s to and fro through their bonded warehouses. Cut Hie apentiion of flic present system, so far from facililaling these cities in the acquisition of sucli benefits and advantages, actually throws obstacles in the way and prevents their enjoy ment of them, ; ‘lSo far from bringing business to those pla ces, our custom house statutes actually drive it away. Take tlie case of the repub'ic of Tex es, (and I cite this case in illustration, because 1 suppose there are, i:i the convention, many who have seen tho operation ol our present system—aye, and Felt it too, as it regarded her i trade through New Orleans, and therefore can correct me if I lie wrong.) “None but small vessels can enter the ports of Texas, by reason of her shallow harbors.— Freights, by small vessels, is much higher than j ^ offijred for !(oi h in large; consequently the lexas planter, by reason of the geographical povtiion of New Or leans, mid oilier cmidiiions to which 1 have just alluded, found it convenient and natu ral torsend his cotton to that city for shipment abroad.— Now, everyone knows that never, since Whit- Ivey’s Invention, wa there a pouod of raw cot ton taken to New Orleans for consumption.; nevertheless, prescnl onitom-house enactments require that Texas cotton, ivhich Ihu* came to New Orleans in the way of bud oss, should pay into the custom-house Scents fl o pound in cash.
