C$y@ Some time since we commented up

~ Some time since we commented upon
the improper character of book issued from the
New York press.
We are pleased to perceive that the publishers
apologize for its publication, on the ground of
ignorance of its contents. They say that they
purchased the m manuscript and placed it in the
hands of their printers, upon the reputation OF
its author, without examination.
The plea is very curious one-but the ncces-
sity of apoogizng for it, all shows reformation
in the public taste. The issues of the New
York press some time since, numbered many
books just as bcasty, both of foreign and home
manufacture

A CITY INCIDENT.
ooh! God that bread should be so dear,
And flesh and blood so cheap p Hood

We could not refrain from quoting these
lines, Il few evenings since, as we witnessed a
poor woman who had just returned from n
clothing store whether she had been to carry
her bundle of pantaoons. 1t was Saturday
evening, and she was too late to get her pay.
The clerk had gone, and carried away the key
of the safe. There was no money They gave
her ticket for her due, and said "good even
ingw {" But lend me 4 dollar on this" said she,
Il have nothing to buy bread for my children
Tomorrow "Ilow many children have you?'
asked the "boss" Five, and the eldest is but
nine years old, and can earn nothing. "Poor
people have no business to multiply so fast"
was tic heartlcss reply. Here is half dollar.
come on Monday morning and pay me-" The
woman departed weeping as though her very
flesh would dissolve in tears, and that hcartless,
wealthy scoundrel turned away with a coarse
laugh, and jing|cd his well filled purse as though
he had achieved "capita joke" AS we
wendell our way after the unhappy woman, we
actually forgot that that same traffic besotted.

TIE WINGS OF AMHERST.

We have omitted 10 announce the nomination
of MIR. Richard Powell. as a candidate 10 repre-
sent the county of Amherst in the next General
Assembly. Mr.. Powell has been a faithful friend
otthe Wing party, and has zealously labored for
the irinNnh Gifts principles IN his county. We
are glad N see that the labots of Mr.. Powell have
heen duly appreciated by his ceuntv.men. We
lean that DR.. Gibson, the present Democratic rep
rescntative, has declined a re election. II may
be, that in his stead the Democracy may run some
weak man 10 hull their opponents into inactivity;
but it is 10 be hoped that the friends OF Mr.. Pow
ell viii not be thus deceived. Great equality ex-
lists in the strength Of the parties in Amherst, and
unless the Wings of that county make a vigorous
canvass. and unite in the Jealous support of Mr..
Powell. his defeat may enSue. We believe that
the proper spirit is entertained by the people OF
Amherst; and, encouraged by the indications
which have reached us, we are looking with con-
idcnt expectations for the triumph of MIR. Powell.
