We are little given to retailing the small
talk and gossip of political circles, but the
following anecdote is pquant and contains
no particle OF bitterness or SANDER. We clip
it from the Washington correspondent or the
Baltimore Patriot.-

nomination for rhe Presidency first reached

resided, his brother William Ii. Polk, now
Charge des A6aires 10 Naples, fastened to
the house of The nominee TO inform him OF
his good luck, and that an amusing scene
followed.

THE MECHANICS SATURDAY NIGHT.

Oh! sweet is the home of the toll worn Mechanic,
When labor is hushed in The stiffness of night;
When the hum of commotiou, disaster aud panic,
Is still as the stars in their orbits of light;
But sweeter by far IS the neat little mansion
When o'eraowing boards OF his industry speak;
When the sweat-covered wages by widest expan-
sion,
Replenish his stores at the close of the week.
With plenty all smiling in natural splendor-
With products Of Nature, delicious and sweet,
And the choicest of vauds his earnings can render
All clustering high in the lowiy retreat,
How rich is the banQuet-how great the nrofusion;
How happy the man when his laborngS cease
When his efforts are yielding the greatest diliu
sion,
Ofharmony, happiness, pleasure and peace.
Oh! bright is the hearth of the Workman at even,
And kindly the feelings his bosom must know,
When his generous heart in its fuiness hath given
The bread he has earned by the sweat Of his
brow.
And how sweet is the scene of the family Of

The holy affections they fondiy retain;
When he clasps 10 his breast has own loving trea-

And foudes his little ones ovoI again.

And guard his abode in the midst Of alarm,
