at such ungentlemanly treatment; whereupon he

General Pierce on Prescription.

The New York Evening Post publishes pas
sage from a speech Of General Pierce, delivered
by him in the Senate in 1912. He says: "There
was nothing in the administration Of General
Jackson which l so uniformly failed to justify as
the removal Of one worthy officer to give place to
another"
The Richmond Republican, decided Fillmore
paper, says: "Here we have General Pierce
himself fully committed against prescription,
We trust he will bear this in mind should he
happen to be elected President. But We doubt,
with oil his professions whether he viii equal

A Eortune aud Immortality.

We perceive by the foreign news we to-day lay
before our readers that reward of ten pounds
(about fifty dollars, exchange included) is offered
for the absquatulated Mr. Meagher. As he has
been heard of somewhere in or about New
York, we give currency to this information, anG
hope the lucky individual who catches him may
be sure to secure his reward 1t is said that Kos
suth is somewhere in the same vicinity The
speculation might be improved by fixing pair of
coffies upon him at the same time. 1t is kind in
the British and Austrian governments TO offer re-
wards for such fugitives, for we do not know
what our country may become if these refractory
liberty loving fellows continue to be harbored
amongst us. Kossuth, it is true, has greatly i'm
proved within year or SO |; and should he not
be caught by some patriotic republican, it may
be that Meagher can be reduced to state of civ
ilization before many days. If nobody will catch
them, we must hope for this.

A Letter from General scott.

The Baltimore Patriot of yesterday says it is
understood that General Scott has written a
letter to Hon. Mr. Archer, Of Virginia, in which
he says, in substance that he write no letters
for the public eye on the Compromise, prior to
some public call upon him, such as may be a
nomination--that lin substance) he is favorable
TO the Compromise, and, in the event of nomi-
nation, will say so, at least to the extent Of his
conversation with Mr.. Archer This is not q
public letter, but has been shown to some Of the
Virginia and other Southern delegates. The
Patriot also says that Hon Mr. Granger of New
York, in connection with some ninety Northern
delegates, had previously waited upon Gen. Scott,
advising him in earnest terms not to commit him

Sir John Franklin Again.

letter appears in the New York Sun, from
John S. Lynch, who was a passenger on board
the brig Renovation, when the ships were seen
the ice in April, 1851 which repeats the state
ment before given that these were probably the
two ships of Sir John Franklin. 1t was in the
vicinity of Newfoundland, the vessels seemingly
frozen on the iceberg-one high and dry; the other
might have had her keel and bottom in the water.
The cause of not going to the rescue was, that the
Renovation had not hands enough on board to
manage her, on account of sickness and lowering
weather. had a sufficient portion of them to man
age boat left the ship.

M. propress OF the WING convention.

4. Tho moment we write, we have no later in
.o,,;oonce from the Convention than yesterdays
,,roceedngs We have repeatedly expressed the
opipion that care should be taken to prevent the
admission into that body of persons not entitled
in GOOD faith to the exercise of the functions of
delegates and we are gratifed to perceive that
a due regard is being had to the subject
The unanimity with which the officers have
been chosen, the tolerant and liberal sentiments
expressed by the presiding officer, and the bust
ness-like demeanor of the Convention all promise
well for good result.
We could not have acquiesced in permanent
organization previous to the confirmation of Gre
dentias. We do not think it the proper course
of events for in this wise the President of the Con-
yention himself might prove to be no more than
on outsider" We apprehend no direct harm
from the present instance, but believe the prece-
dent injurious.
1t is important, in our opinion, that the dele
gates should all be authorized by public meetings
of Wings held after timely notice; and that they
should come into the Convention prepared to ac-
ouiesce in the will of the majority.
1t has been said that no suspicion of con-
trary purpose should be entertained, and that its
suggestion is degradation. If we had never
seen any instances of infdety in political assem-
bles this would all be well enough but as it is,
there is some wisdom in prudent watchfulness.
We, however, await the course of events in a
feeling of confidence in the decision Of the Con-
vantion; and upon whomsoever shall fairly and
Justly be bestowed the honor of its nomination
to him shall our support be freely and sincerely

of the Western District wandering about the

information which could be obtained concerning
him was from letters found about his person.

and high constable Herring accordingly wrote to
him for information respecting the unfortunate

A Happy Home.

The first year of married life is a most impor-
tant era in the history of man and wife. Gene
rally as it is spent, so is almost all subsequent
existence. The wife and husband then assimllate
their views and their desires, or else conJure up
their dislikes-they add fuel to their preJudices
and anmosities forever afterward.
| have somewhere read, says Rev. D. Wise,
in his Bridal Greeting" Of bridegroom who
gloried in his eccentricities lie requested his
bride to accompany him into his garden, day
or two after the wedding. He then threw a
line over the roof of their cottage. Giving his
wife one end of it, he retreated to the other side
and exclaimed:
"Pull the line r.
She pulled, at his request, as far as she could.
He cried
"Pull it over"
" ] can't" she replied.
"Pull with all your might" shouted the
whimsical husband.
But in vain were all the efforts of the bride
to pull over the line, so long as the husband held
on to the opposite end. But when he came
round and they both pulled at ond end, it came
over with great ease.
There" said he, as the line fell from the
roof, 'tyou see how hard and Intellectual was our
labor when we pulled in opposition to each other;
but how easy and pleasant it is when we both
pull together, 1t will be so, my dear, through
life. If we oppose each other, it will be hard
work. If we act together, it will be pleasant to
live. Let us, therefore, always pull together"
In this Illustration, homely as is may be, there
is sound philosophy. Husband and wife must
mutually bear and concede, if they wish to make
home retreat of joy and bliss. One alone can
not make home happy. There must be unison OF
action sweetness of spirit, and great forbearance
and love in both husband and wife, to secure
the great end of happiness in the domestic cir.
