A PMLADELPHA QUAKER.--A certain
Friend whom We very we'll know, was
recently at distant place OF summer re-.
sort. lie s;epted into the post Office one
morning, and while there, the postmaster
asked him if he knew ofany English peo.
people staying at the hotel. "Whiy does
thee ask ?" said the Quaker. "Because'
said the postmaster "here are h7If doz-
en- leltors directed to England by the next
steamer, and as the postage to Boston is
not pad, connot send them. 1t can
not find the writer's Ot them, they will be
forwarded 10 the dcad letter Office in
Washington" Our Friend looked al
the letters. They were all double, and
he remarkod--"they appear to be family
letters, and no doabt will be most well
come If received, Or may cause great Snx-
iely if they should not be-" IL cannot
help it," said The postmaster. "Well II
can, If thee cannot; what is the postage2"
"For six double letteIs three dollars"
"Weil, here iS the money; thee will pleas
mark the letters paid, and send them to
Boston" And with this injunction, the |
Philadelphia Quaker left the post Office
his pockets not quite SO heavy as when
no entered, but his heart, we are sure, a
great deal lighter--N Y. Gazette.

TIE nELAYED NOMINATIONS.

We perceive in different parts OF the
Uniona growing Impotence and curiosity
ON the subject Of the delayed nominations,
and the causes which can lead To such an
extraordinary result Congress has now
been in session near three months, and
nominations to important Offices long be.
fore il met are not yet acted unoh. This
is strange aud novel, aud is exciting eve.
~ where the strongest curiosity and de-
aire 10 know the reason Of it. Being Ex-
ecutiye business, and all done with closed
doors, il is, of course, impossible for US to
liz the veil from this mystery; but il is
very easy to tell what Dame Ramor says;
for what she says IS just as notorious on
this subject as on others. Her adyship,
then, says iha. the system OF mutual de-
1endeacies upon which the passage orthe
Land bill--the Bankrupt bill-lhe Tea
Tax bill-the Bank bill, &c. &c. &c. all
depend, not on their own merits, but on
each other--that-ihis extends 10 all prn.
cipal nominations also, and that tho con.
frmation or rejection ofthese depends up
ON the behavior of members in relation TO
the system Of bills brought in Of this ses'
sion. Upon the same principle. lady Ra-
NOR says. turned the postponement Of the
taking effect Of'he Bankrupt bill from No
vslnber until February. BY this post
ponsmsnt, the act is put into the hands
Of the next session Of Congress, SO that
if The friends Of that bill fail or balk at
;the remaining bills, or atihe nominations,
then the Bankrupt act can be repealed
This is all that we can tell our friends
and from this they can see the principle |
upon which things are conducted at this
session Of Congress.--GIobe.

Obsoures each lovely flower.
When from afar the fragrant breeze

IT'S sad yet pleasing TO behold
Nights sable curtain fall,
involving in its gloomy fold
Earth, air and ocean-alI.
Ail-but the mild expanse above,
Where brighter scenes are gwen,
Where stars reflect the eye Of love,
Whose resting place is heaven.

That never, never die.
