A Brilliant Incident in the Life Of Gen.
Pierce. When the resolution nomina-
ting Gen Frank Pierce for the PresideG-
cy Was introduced into the New Hamp-
shire Democratic State Convention, il
was responded to among others by Gen.
Steele, who mentioned the following in
cident, which stamps General Pierce
with undying fame:
"Sir, (said Governor Stecle,) | have
known The whole career of General
Pierce, from the day lie first took his
seat in this hall. l have admired his
exploits in Congress and in Mexico
But have an incident in my mind
which will relate, which, in my hum
Bile judgment, exhibits the character of
the man in more llustrous light than
all his efforts in the forum or the field.
Ii was something more than twenty
years ago--Gen. Pierce was then some
what younger than he is now. He was
travelling through one Of the western
towns of this State; and as he entered
the principal village, he beheld three
bols ioBCutiI tdlIiS CdiIdy. At DTIei
distance, he behcld another boy, sitting
aone. And that boy was not eating
candy; but he was crying. Gen. Pierce,
ic, ling interested in so strange circum-
stance, inquired into the cause, ard AS
cerlained that he was crying because
he had no money To buy cardy. No
sooner had he learned the facts IN the
case, than, with that noble generosity
which has ever distinguished Pierce
through his whole life. he PIT his hand
in his pocket, lrewt rth a cent. bought a
sH Il Of ca,,dy and care IL 10 the boy al.
though he boy was a total stranger 10

thetic anccdote had upon the Conven-

Immediately passed the resolution nom
mating him 10 the Presidency. The
delegates from New Hampshire to the

sight of this anccdo'e. 1t would doubt
less tell in favor of their candidate even
more powerfully than his achievements
in Mexico.

Pour in Thy precious lain Of hve,
For unto Thee We look FOR aid.
The world is cherries now to those
Who once enjoyed its dazzling show
And fashions empty pomp hut adds

We learn the value now life,
And feel the worth of n"elng years,
For clouds rest darkly round the hearth
Which yesterday was free from tears.
Fond heats which beat with transport light,

All scnseless in the quiet grave.
We heed no, warning notes which break
In thunder tones when skics nrc clear,
And never feel that others woes
Are distant calls for us to hear.
But thoughtless still, We urge our way
Along liie's strangely vaI led path,
And only list the voice Of God
When stunned by what appears Ills wrath.
But ah! His ways are Mercy's smile,
For often when We feel His power.
The pure.t and the hest is called
To pass Deaths dark and testing hour.
Thus by wise decree Of Him
Who chastens for the good Of all,
We turn from Errors blightng path,
And heed the kindness of His call.
Spare Thou, o God, our bleeding hearts.
| And turn our thoughts from earth and sin
To thy prrc realm Of endless bliss,
Which all who trust in Thee may win.

And often suffer human pain,-

Royalty In Mum bers.

We find the last number of "crowned heads
in Europe to be forty-six, including the Emperor
Of Brazil who belongs to European house. The
Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz is the oldest,
having passed his I'D year. There is but one
other who has passed his 10th year-the King OF
Wirtemberg. The sovereign who has reigned the
longest is the Prince of Schaumburg Lippe-65
years in all, or 40 years since his majority.
Eighteen have come to the throne in the last ten
years, and two, the Prince Of Lppe and the King
of Hanover, succeeded to power in 1851.
Seven out of the forty-six have never been
married. viz: the Pope, the Emperor of Austria,
the Duke of Brunswick, the Princes of Reuss-
Schletz, of Waldeck, and of Lppe, and the
Landgrave of Hesse- Homburg. Among the re-
naming thirty-nine, three are widowers - the
Grand Duke of Oldenburg for the third time, the
King of the Begians for the second time, and the
Duke of the Anhaut-Deesau for the second time.
Two-the King of Denmark and the Elector OF
Hesse-are married morganatcally; and one
the Sultan-lives in polygamy.
Two out Of the thirty-nine soyeregns who are
married, or who have been so, have no children
twenty. six have some who are heirs-presumptive
Two thrones-that of Brazil aud that of Spain
will descend to daughters, rs the Emperor OF
Brazil and the Queen of Spain have no sons
OF the twenty-six hereditary princes, several
are married. The oldest is Al years of age, and
the youngest-the hereditary Grand Duke Of
Mecklenburg- -Schwerin-is nine months old. The
princess expectant of Spain is younger still, how
ever, having been born on the 10th of December
last.
Eighteen of the forty-six sovereigns have no
descendants who can succeed them. Eleven will
be succeeded by their brothers; two-the King
Of Denmark and the Duke of Modena-by their
uncles; and one-the Elector of Hesse-by his
cousin. Four-the Pope of Rome, the Dukes
of Brunswick and of Anhault- Bernburg, and the
Landgrave Of Hesse Homburg-have no descend
ants or collaterals who can succeed them.
