"CEDANT ARMA-ToGE.'- AT the OPENING of
the Court at its recent session in this town. Gen
Franklin Pierce resumed his place at the bar with
out the least air of the military about him. That
he is brave, no one who knows him can doubt he
has sights during his short absence which most
of us would be excused from seeing; and if he has
not "revelled in the halls of the Montezumas.n he
has walked quietly and observingly amid their mao
nifcence; and with contented spirit returns to the
peaceful practice of his profession in the Granite
State. Few men governed by more humane
impulses, or would turn with more heart-sickenino
from the scenes Of the battlefield.
In conversation with Gen. Pierce respecting the
climate and productions Of Mexico, he mentioned
that he had seen the potato in its native state much
smaller in size than with us, it seldom being LARGER
than hens egg its qualities however, were rood
and hitherto it had escaped the disease TO which il
is subject in other countries. The cactus is seer

she granted to Gideon j. Piio,c the privilege of
holding office under James k Polk, instead of tho
Emperor of the Celestial Kingdom Mr.. Forbes,

an outline of the Chinese articles. Of tcar among

What would Pillo,c's head have been worth, had
he been Brigader in the Celestial Empire Not
the price of one of his spurs! But this Eighth Ar
tcle Of war affords indirect evidence of curious
fact. 1t renders it highly probable that there have
been fiAo'cs, or at least Pitotc, in China. If
not, why make law 20 meet his case? These ar
cles of war, like all the Chinese Codes are very
ancient. They may, indeed, date back to the time
OF Contucins. There must, therefore have been
Pilcao then. In that early stage of the worlds
history, there was officer, Brigadier or Ma
Jor General probably, 'detected in lying pretexis
about his own merits, Or in writing for the news
papers it may be, ''talse tales" signed perhaps
Leonidas and ''usurpng the merits of Others as his
own" This is curious enough, and gives rise to
reflections. Could two such creatures0so ldent-
cal in all essential respects-eyer have existed o.
Is 1t possible that there should ever have been an
other Gideon j. Pillow? Must one not have been
the double of the other,-dlier, yet idcm? There
is more truth in the old doctrine of metempsycio-
SIS than we are generally willing to concede. And
1t may be that, In peting Ptio,v, President Polk is
simply hugging TO his heart some patriotic Briga-
der who lost his head two thousand years ago

Report Of Trustees, Feb, Is4S

ATa meeting Of the Board of Trustees of the
"A AUGUSTA FEMALE SEMINARY, on
the Oath ult., the undersigned were appointed a
Committee TO publish a renewed expression of the
sentiments of the Board respecting the institution
under its care. This Seminary has been in
successful operation for six years. A building af-
fording most ample accommodations has been erect
ed and paid for by funds raised in the village and
county. Rev X. w. Bailey, assisted, as hereto
fore, by Mrs. Bailey, will continue as its principal
Their long experience and high reputation teach
ers and conductors of such institutions, place them
above the necessity of any minute commentator
here. In addition to these, the services of Miss
Bailey and Miss Stockbridge secure to the school
the advantages of full and thorough instruction.
The examination of the young ladies Friday,
the oath ult., was highly gratifying to the specta-
tors and the members of the Board present.
We would especially commend the mode OF con-
Quoting these examinations making it manifest
that there was no previous arrangement between
the teachers and pupils by which they might come
off as matter of course ''tcithout missing ,rord"
The Board would take this opportunity of publish
ing to the community its steadfast confidence in
tho Seminary over which it is placed to watch, and
is gratifed in doing good by fostering institution
30 highly deserving the good will OF all. Arrange
ments have been made for monthly visitations to
the school by committees of the Board and the
Trustees pledge themselves the use of all fair and
honorable means for sustaining and increasing its
prosperity and making it the fountain of good in
fiuence and sound education throughout the entire
circle of its patronage.

NERI AND THE STUDENT

a story Is told ola very good and pous man,
whom the Church of Rome has enrolled among
her SAINTS on account Of his great holiness. He
was living at one of the Italian Universities, when
young man whom he had long known as a boy,
ran up to him with face full of delight, and told
him that what he had long been wishing above all
'hihgs In the world was at length fulfilled, his pa
reh's having Just given him leave to study the law
anu thereupon he had come to the law school at
this University on account Of its great fame and
meant to spare no pains OF labor in getting through
MS studies as quickly and as well as possible. In
ilss way he ran on long time +; and when at last
he came to stop, the holy man who had been lis
tening to him with great patience and kindness,
said
"Weil, and when you have got through your
course OF studies, what do you mean 10 do then 2v
Then shall take my Doctors degree" an
swered the young man.
And then ?'' inquired Philippe Ner
And then 81 continued the young man, 81 shall

my zeal. my acuteness, and gain reputation"
'And then 2" repeated the holy man.
And then" replied the youth, ':why, then there
cannot be question: shall be promoted to some
high office or other; beside, | shall make money
and grow rich.'
And then 81 repeated Philippe.
And them" pursued the young lawyer, 'thcn
shall live comfortably and honoraby, in wealth
and In dignity, and shall be able to look forward
quietly 10 happy old age.'
And then gu asked the old man.
And them" said the student, ''and then--I

Here Philippe lifted up his voice and again ask

Whereupon the young man made no answer.
but cast down his head and went away This last
ana henE had pierced like a flash of lightning
into his soul, and he could not get quit of it,
Soon after he forsook the study of the law, gave
himself up TO the ministry of Christ, and spent the
remainder of his days in godly words and works.
The question which st. Philippe Neri put to
the young lawyer is which we should frequent
iy ppt II ourselves. When we have done all tina,
we are doing, all that aim at doing, all that we
dream OF doing, even supposng that all our dreams
are accomplished, that every wish of our heart is
fulfilled, still may we ask, "what will we do
whas will we be then 2" Whenever we cast our
thoughts forward never let them stop short on this
side OF the grave let them not stop short at the
grave itself; but when we have followed ourselves
thiher, and have seen ourselves laid therein still
ask ourselves the searching question-AND THEN ?
