Reform should begin at Home.


"Ths is pleasant" exclaimed the young
husband taking his seat costly in the rocking
chair, AS the things We're removed. Tae fire
EIowed in the CRATE, revealing a pretty and
neatly furnished sitting room. with all the ap.
pances Of comfort. The iatiguing business
OF the day was over, and he sat ENJOYING what
he had all day been anticipating, the delights
OF his own tresdc. His pretty wife, Esther
took her work and sat down BY the table.
"lt is pleasant to have home Of ones own ;
he said again, taking satisfactory survey Of
his little quarters. The cold rain beat against
the windows, and he thought he felt really
graf teiul tor all his present comforts.
"Now II We only had Il piano, exclaimed the
wife
Give me the music Of your sweet voice be-
fore all the pianos in creation" lie declared
ompllmenariiy, beside certain secret dlsap-
polntmen', that his wlIe's thankfulness did no
happily chime with bis own.
"Well, but we want one for our friends, said
T. ther
LET our friends come and see as and not to
hear piano" exclaimed the husband.
But, George, everybody has piano, now
a-days-we don't 20 anywhere without seeing
piano" persisted the wife.
"And yet | don't know what we want one
ior-you will have no time TO play on one, and
DON'T want to hear it"
"Nhy, they are so tasbionable-I think our
room looks nearly naked without one"
II think it looks just right"
Il think 1t looks very naked,-we want a pi-
ano shocAlng!y," protested Esther, emphali-
cally.
The husband rocked violently
Your lamp smokes, my dear he said, after
a long pause.
when are you going 10 get an astral lamp !;
! have told you dozen times how much we
needed one" said Esther, petishiy.
Those are very pretty lamps never can
see by an astral lamp" SAID the husband
Those lamps are the pretlcsl of the kind
ever saw-they were bought N Boston.
But, George, do not think our room is
complete without an astral lamp" said Esther,
sharply, "they are SO fashionable Why, the
Morgans, and Alllers, and Thofnes all have

A SWIFT WITNESS. Jere. Clemens, the
llbeler at the New England factory girls who
was brought all the way from Washington tc
speak at The Illlsborough barbecue, asserted
IN his speech that he could personally vouch io
Gen. Plcrces bravery aud courage, because he
was with him in Mexico, and knew all about it.
lie went 80 Tar on one occasion AS to give the lie
To any one who doubted his statement. Again
when he got hack To Boston on Friday night,
hc said in his speech in Faneui Hail, according
to the PosrS report" he could testify that where
Plerce's horse tell every foot OF ground was
ploGghed up with grape shot,
The editor OF the Lowel journal, who was in
Mexico at the time, very quietly exposes the
worthlessness of this testimony, by showing
that Clemens did not arrive in Mexico until
three months after all the efghiing eaS orer It is
doubtful whether he saw Gen, Pierce there at

NATURAL HISTORY AND roETkY IN lIE sEs
ATE

The debate on the question of MIR. Dixons
admission rs Senator has given rise to a
uost verbose and tedious debate What an
INFINITE faculty cf talk honorable members
have! The question can be stato9 clearly, in
a single sentence and the whole argument, pro
and con, be presented in half column but
the debate already has filled several pages of
the newspapers, TO the profit of no one but the
reporters
Senators now and then have endeayored to
relieve their long-drawn speeches, by what
they doubtless considered pleasant dgressons.
Mr. Mangum, for example, favored the country
with a specimen of Natural History, gathered,
fresh from Stansbury's late report
He states, sir, that in his travels in the
Southwest and the great West, with u scientific
corps, for the exploration Of Salt Lake they
fell upon a region in which the prairie dog the
rattlesnake, and even the owl, all sought shell
ter in the same pest, and lived lovingly togeth.
or, while tho fang Of the snake was never
stricken upon either of his good friends. Well
sir that seems to be perfectly parallel to the
case We have seen in our political commissions.
As shall not have occasion 70 speak here in
future desire now to make prediction-and
may possibly arise to the dignity OF prophet
in this sespect-though this union and harmo-
ny is very like that apparently unnatural one
10 the prairie diggings, undertake to predict
that in esjthan twenty months the rattlcsnake
of the South will strike his fangs upon the
prairie dog of the North, and the blind owl Of

A CURIOUS CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION

The senate ,sst yaes bad undcr consdera
ton a Constitutional Question rather new
though at present of little practical import
ance.
Mr.. Clay, disqualified by illness for the dis
charge of his Senatorial duties, some time las
spring transmitted to the Legislature of Ken
lucky, then in session, his resignation, to TAX,
effect on the first day of September The resig
nation was accepted, and MIR. Dixon was elect
ed to fill the uncxpired portion of the term
ending in 1855.
Soon after, Mr.. Clay died, and the Legisa
ture having adjourned, Mr.. Merriwether was
appointed by the Governor to supply the va
cancy, the appointment extending no farthe,
than the first of September, the day when Mr.
Dixon's term Of service was to commence
On the first day Of the present session, MIR
Dixon sppyared, and his credentials were pre-
sented but MIR. Gwin raised the question o
his admission as a Senator on the ground that
the only vacancy in the Kentucky delegation
had been occasoned by the death of Henry
Clay, and that vacancy was filled by the APP
pointment of the Governor, which by the Con-
Dtitution continued in force till the next meet
ing of the Legislature
The provision of the Constitution Ia us fol.

erwlse, during the recess Of the Legislature of
any State, the Executive thereof may make
temporary appointments till the next meeting

vacanciesn
This provision, it will be observed, is confined
to vacancies happening during the recess Of Il

intended to prevent an interruption in the rep
rescntation Of sovereign State, but to do this
in such way as to preserve the authority of
the Legislature. Hence, the appointing power
Of the Executive is but temporary and can be
exercised only during the recess of the Legisla-
ture, and until its neat meeting
Had Mr. Clay died or had his resignation,
to take effect instantly, been rendered and &C.
cepted during the session of the Legislature,
Executive action would have been precluded-
the vacancy would have been filled by that
body.
The question arises, Can vacancy in ad-
vance be created, by the resignation Of Sena-
ator and its acceptance by the Legislature
that resignation to take place on a future day :
II it can, there can be no doubt of the power
OF the Legislature to fill it, for its Senatorial
elections are generally in advance; and by the
Constitution, the times, places and manner
