We have never objected to the removal of demo-
Gratis from office by federal administration but we
insist that it shall not be done in defiance of Gen
Taylors pledges to the contrary, without full ex-
position of tire inconsistency. We happy to see
the administration come out, and boldly give the
cause of removal as it has in the above instance.
Captain Starr is the first democratic incumbent re-
moved from office by General Taylor, who has been
fortunate enough to obtain the reason If the rea-
had not thus been given the honest, credulous
portion of the federal party might have inferred that
he had been guilty of some misdemeanor or neglect
of duty as they are taught to believe implicitly that

TOO BUSY TO BE MARRIED.

A New York correspondent of the Sun tells
the following funny story:
On Friday last, young and pretty Dutch
girl entered the Marine Court and requested
one of the officials in attendance TO inform
her eif dat vas we're dey married de people %
Being told that it was, she looked smilingly
upon the officer, and holding up her head as
if impressed with the responsibility of her
position, addressed him with, 'Vill you marry
me, den!" "Marry you!'' said the officer,
"oh, can't do that, have wife already"
"a don't want TO be married 10 you, but want
you 10 marry me-" replied she. "Oh! ah,
that is a different case; but who do you
want TO be married to?" "To Fritz, but he
vas so busy he couldn't come, and said
might get it done" When informed that
this marrying by proxy would not answer,
the poor girl left, and the next day returned
with Fritz, who had managed TO quit his
work to get married, and the happy pair were
made one by his honor, the Mayor. s-

The ''good pastor and his fre-side" were
deeply interested in Mary Clavery's simple
tale; and on further inquiry its truth was
fully established, and it was also found that
her husband was in the regiment then at
Jamaica, commanded by the clergyman's
brother, gallant and distinguished officer.
The story circulated very quickly in a
neighborhood where every little clrcum-

be it known, that on the very same Sabbath
morning, in the Protestant church and

THE HAMMER.

The following appropriate panogyric on this
primitive instrument, which was the first IN
veniion in mechanics, and perhaps also the
first in war, is taken from the Scientific A
merican t ..... ..... ..
The hammer is the universal emblem of
mechanics. With il are alike forged the
sword of contention and the ploughshare OF
peaceful agriculture-the press Of the free
and the shackles of the slave. The eloquence
OF the forum has moved the armies of Greece
and Rome TO thousand battle-fields, but the
eloquence of the hammer has covered those
fields with victory or defeat. The inspiration
of song has kindled high hopes & noble aspira-
tions in the bosoms of brave knights and gen.
tie demes, but the inspiration Of the hammer
has strewn the field with tat,ered helm and
shield, decided not only the fate Of chivalric
combat, but the fate of thrones, crowns and
Kingdoms. The forging Of thunderbolt was
ascribed by the Greeks as the highest act of
Jove's omnipotence, and their mythology
beautifully ascribes TO one of their gods the
task of presiding at the labors of the forge.
In ancient warfare, the hammer was pow
erful weapon, independent of the blade
which it formed.-Many a stout skull was
broken through the cap and helmet by a blow
of Vulcanis weapon n.--The armies OF the Cres-
cent would have subdued Europe 10 Tho sway
of Mahomet, but on the plains Of France their
progress was arrested and the brave and
simple warrior who saved Christendom from
the sway of the Muselman was Martel-'the
hammer" The hammer, the saviour and
bulwark of Christendom. The hammer is
the wealth Of nations: By it are forged the
ponderous engine and tiny needle. 1t is an
instrument of the savage and the civilized.
Its merry clinks point out the abode of indus
try. 1t isa domestic deity, presiding over
the grandeur of the most wealthy and ambi-
tious as well as the most humble and i'm
Poverished. Not stick is shaped, not a
house is raised, ship floats, carriage rolls,
a wheel spins, an engine moves, a press
squeaks, viol sings, spade delves, or flag
waves without the hammer. Without the
hammer, civilization would be unknown, and
the human species only as defenceless brutes (;
but in skilful hands, directed by wisdom, it
is an instrument of power, of greatness, and
true glory.

THE DAUGHTER OF THE PRESIDENT.

A correspondent OF the Newalk Daily Adj
vertiser in the course of an account Of le-
wee held by President Taylor, gives the fol-
lowing warm description of Mrs. Bliss, who
acts as hostess on these court occasions He
says
"Passing from the cid General, we were pre-
sented to his daughter, the accomplished Mrs
Bliss. She was standing in The middle of
the same room-her back resting against the
centre table surrounded by host Of admiring
friends OF both sexes, she received us with a
polite courtesy and the blandes, smiles. Her
part during the whole evening was perform
ed with great dignity of manner and with an
ease and grace that would well become any
princess of an Eastern Court Her face is
remarkable for its complaceut beautyj and
her figure is rather slight, and faulIess. No
one would ever take her to be the daughter

| absence and want of family resemblance.
| While the old Generals face is very strongly
marked with the characteristics OF his char
acter, with heavy natural frown, and a rigid
/ exhibition Of all those well known traits OF
| firmness, determination, courage and beneyo-

of the rain bow iiseli-pure, placid, and
modest, indicating natural refinement OF

own gentle aud tender beauty. .asae .s.

THE DIVORCED WIFE.
Br LEILA MORTIMER.

My heart will wander back
To thy lone pathway through the cold, cold
.. wold,
Aud long to find the track
By which from its proud station il was hurled
My thoughts about the past
Will twine themselves as drops of dew a,
On thirsty flowers are cast,
When, bending low they yield their breath
My yearning soul will droop .
Beneath The chill harsh gaze Of curious eyes,
And Hopes tired wing will stoop
Unto the dust, leaving her starry skies
Amid whose radiant light
Her brow has eer been lifted up, serene,
And proudly calm and bright
Though in the distH~re darkest clouds were
seen.
The flowers about my path
That have not wihered in their lovelness,
Will now go down TO death, rs
And their pale lips the damp earth coldly
press;
And tones that sent thrill
OF ecslacy into my heart now mute,
Will be remembered still, r
Like the last murmur Of a trembling Lutte.
Oh, il is hard TO take
My drear and lonely way far from thy side,
The golden chain to break
That bound my fate to ihine-a happy bride;
Dost thon remember now
This shadowy elms close by that lowly cot,
Where to Thy loves deep vow
listened iremblingy and doubted not?
Thou dost remember. Years
Have passed away siuce then, and eyes OF
lo.s,
Believed with anxious tears,
My blooming youth that fondly watched
above,
Arc closed in death. The breast
Whose painful thlobbngs were for me alone
Is hushed in peaceful rest
The freed soul to its heavenly home hath
goue. ...
Now am left TO look
My last upon Thy loved and cherished face /;
Oh, can ever brook
The worlds cold sneer, or from my soul erase
The bright and glorious pastt
Kind death my breaking heart invokes thy
gloom n-
Around it softly cast -... ..
