FOETRr. from Paul urn's Philadelphia American. COMMUNICATION. THE ItEMEMBEUANCE OF ««AULD j langsvne.” The impressions we received in early life, are often so durably and deeply im-j pressed npou the memory, lhat although . we may be alienated from all that gave ; them birth, though we may be tost about , upon the billows ot fortune—exalted to : her highest lavors, honors and dignities, < or sunk in poverty, ignominy and distress —yet the scenes ol our early da>s the j rememberanceof our youthful pleasures, j friendships and affections, will frequenty ; recur to the imagination, with all their glowing enjoyments, arrayed in the bnl- ^ liant colors of reality. Tbe place of our nativity, the dwelling of our forefathers, is endeared to us by the tenderest recollections:—’twas there we experienced tbe kindness and affection ot our parents—’twas there we were „ :ght the language of our country, and io call the different objects by tbeii names —and, ’twas there the feelings ot the heart were first excited, and the lacolties j of the mind first brought into operation; ■ and even after years have passed away, j when time has affected many material al« ! terations, when perhaps our earliest and j dearest friends‘lie with the gathered flow** j crs’ and we have become citizens ot ano ther country—surroanded with new ties, connexions and friends, that have increa ted with the years of our residence among j them; still we look back upon ‘the days ot ! Auld Lang Syne” with pleasing sensations not unaccompanied with regret. JVIy native home and those dear scenes, Where oft in boyhood’s day I roved— And where the sweetest hours were passed, That e’er / knew, with those l lcved— Are often seen, in fancy’s dream, As bright and fair as they were then— And all the laughing joys of youth, Present themselves tome again. Again / tread the flowery meads, And stray o’er Wissahiccon’s hills—’ Or, if remembered pleasure leads, Through woody glens—by purling rills. And round me forms 1 loved arise, The words they spoke, / seem to hear; And see the dew drop dim the eyes, That glistened with a parting tear. Jilv heart,then beats with sweet delight, And feasts on bliss—forever flown— But fancy waves her cord too tight, it breaks—the sweet delusion’s gone. R. From the Mew York Sational Advocate. The morn in russet mantle clad, Walks o’er the dew of your hi"h eastern hill.** Shakspeake. King Solomon, or somebody else, had a saying in poetry, “ Earlv to bed, and early to rise, Makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’* Now, whether early rising produces all these good things, is not for me to to say, but I do aver, that laying in bed of a morning uiuil a late hour, is un healthy and unwise, and moreover de prives a person ot a pleasant recreation, and tne sight of several agreeable ob jects. It is not many months in the year that a morning’s walk, can be in* dulged in all Us luxury. From chill November until blushing April, a mor lung’s walk, for health and exercise, for lue enjoyment of a bracing and keeu air, may with satisfaction be enjoyed ; but it is in the summer, when the dews of a night sparkle like diamonds on the grass, and melt away at the beams of the rising sun, when the feathered song sters, escaping from their beds of moss, carol their matin hymn. when the freshness of the morn, and the fra grance of the meadow llowers, the ho neysuckle and blue bells, the pinks and magnolias, s eal o'er the senses ; when oven a ramble through a populous ci ty pre-ents novehy, creates interest, and imparts health and cheexfulness to the early riser , while pallid indolence continues to doze and stretch his lazy limbs o'er the heated surface of a fea thered bed, and with eyes yet sealed by the heavy sleep of night, and mouth ex tended with many * frightful yawn, he kills the brightest hours of his life. A few mornings ago, when “ jocund day stood trembling on the misty moun tains’ top,” I sallied forth to see the ri sing world of our city. ’Twas just dawn, the streets were silent. I first entered the subterranean veults of the City flail and Watch House, just at the moment when the watchmen, those sleepy centinels ot the night, were a bout "being dismissed from duty, and, after roll call, had deposited their thick caps and clubs, and prepared for their daily labor. The captain, seated at a desk with books and papers before him in which the transactions of the night were recorded, gathered them up and prep ired to meet the police magistrate, with all the prisoners which had been brought in the preceding watch. On bunks without straw several were stretched at fall length_Blacks and whites indiscriminately mixed. Some just recovering tromthe intoxicating ef fects of a night’s debauch. Here were young bloods caught in a rjot—here a dandy with bushy hair, and golden aeals who had attempted to beatfhe watch We a. poor frau daughter of Eve, who had broken the peace by some noctur nal disturbance-—there juvenile theives caught at their depredations. Such a moldy picture was rarely exhib’ted; and such a “ rank compound of villain ous smells,” rendered a mouthful of ivvect air in the Park, a luxury eager, ly to be sought for. And now day had fairly blushed, and purple streaks in the eastern sky, tinged with gold, gave token of the rising sun. The good peo ple just began to stir—the maids open ed the street doors, and with bru3h in hand, prepared for the morning,s duty —the sleepy apprentice and shop boy, with naked feet and uncombed locks, were vavvningly taking down the shut ters—the little black sweep, with sooty blanket, had just began his shrieking cries—the milkmen with their ponde rous tm*kettles and falsetto voice—the baker with his long one horse cart and ammunition baskets—the labourers sauntering for employment, had just fiven animation to the scene, at early awn, when 1 made my way to the Bat tery. Novelists and Poets have diflered, as to that period of the day, when women are seen to most advantage—some pre fer the bustle of domestic duty—others the head of the well stored table— some the social circle, while there are many, who, bv the glare of torch light, in the mazes of the dance, or the crowd of the drawing room, make the most useful or the most brilliant exhibition. But, if vou wish to see nature, unsophistica ted—towering o’er the blandishments of art, with powerful majesty, you must rise very early and see our ladies take a morning walk—no stiffly laced boddiaes* no hair thickly curled, no ze phyr shawls, or a frightful sized dress bonnet, crushed with the weight of ar tificial roses A simple muslin slip, a becoming gipsy hat, under which the glossy hair is tucked with careless hand and a braid stealing in luxuriance occa sionally, o’er the shoulder. Cheeks and complexion fair and ruddy, the eye refreshened with sleep, beaming with intelligence and sparkling with anima tion. Titus attired, we find them on the Battery, tripping it over the gravel led walks, and tasting the balmy air waited trom the ocean, Here at sun rise we have a tine view of the placid river and the noble bay. Ships coming in with fulsail,steam boats under weigh with the curiing smoke of their furna ces mingling with the breeze ; wher ries and fishing smacks, pilot boats and market barges, sprinkled over the river, and rippbng its fair surface. From the Battery a ramble to Fulton market,^ a picture of the busy hustling scene it presents, is no less interesting. The butqhers with their tempting viands displayed to the best advantage, the lish market and its variety, the Jersey girls with their eggs and butter, the Long Island damsels and their choice fruits, and then the multitude cheapening, purchasing and filling their market baskets, the quick mov ements, the anx ious and attentive eye, the jingling of sm ill change, display of pocket books and purses, then the vegetable and flower world in perfection, and to crown ail, a tumbler of fresh buttermilk pre sented by Hebe* in the shape of a lassie from VVehawken. Who would lie in bed while all these scenes are exhibiting! And yet on my return, with a boquot of mignionette, and moss roses in one hand, and a basket of wild, yet richly flavoured strawberries in the other, my room mate bolted up right in bed on my opening tho door, anti with his white night cap, extended arms, and frightful yawn, drawled out, zcho is there / Awy is it you?
