Honorable Testimonials.


! TAe Baltimore Clipper of the 18th instant "a
very9decided Whig paper,) in aIuding to our
nominee for the Presidency, says:
| ..ghe state of his health continued very bad
all the time he was in Mexico. He was on the
bes.aerms with Gen. Scott, his present rival for
| heSfresidency, and Gen. Scott often invited him
| to dinner He was idolized by the mem under
his command. He was modest and silent about
his owa deserts, though he fought as aoelI as any
| Of The Generals"
''We have said, and we repeat it, that abuse
of candidates is iInpolitic, as well as unjust
and, in regard to Gen. Pierce, we have done no
thing more than echo public speaking of him in
terms Of commentator. He was comparative
ly unknown, at least to us before his nomna-
ton and we are rejoiced that he proUes to be Of
! lsnecettiona5le churacter''
How much more noble must appear the con-
duet Of Gen. Pierce if he was thus situated
while il Mexico. Gen. Scott's depatches, (and
likewise those of every other officer with whom
he was ossocited,) speak Of him as most gal
liant officer and if in addition to the severe
injury that he received at Chepultepec, he was
also in bad health how utterly heartless-nay,
denloniac-must be the creatures who can pen
such paragraph as this =
at is a fact, the General spent nearly year
in the service during the Mexican War; and got
within sight Of the engagement at Contreras.-
Owing probably to some nervous affection, the
rude music OF the artillery overwhelming
him, and he tainted and aeas carried ten
der{y Of the field He had no doubt read
before, that discretion was the better part of
valor !"
This appeared in the Commercial Journal of
the 18th instant but take pleasure in sta
ting that Robert NJ. Riddle, Esq, the editor of
that paper, was not in the city at the time.
Mr. Greely of the New York Tribune, thus
speaks, in consequence of an article having ap-
peared in his paper of q similar character with
the above =
'.The illusions to General Pierce's private
character and habits, which appeared in a. letter
from Concord, n. H., in our last, would have
been suppressed if we had observed them before
publishing the letter. We do not know them to
be well founded and, in the absence Of any
proof, presume that they are erroneous, or at
least grossly exaggerated. General Pierce il
certainly not a temperance man, in oar sense of
the term but we know nothing with regard to
his habits which should expose him to public

Country Life.

The Editor of the New York Times, having
little leisure, takes peep outside the city, and
then tantalzes the people frying and roasting
inside the city walls, with the following descrip-
ton of the good times country people have just
about these days, in those pants. Hear how
the writer crowds all sorts of tantalizing things
into his picture:
.sThe ladies have filled the annual demijohn
of current wine-'it is so good when it gets old,
for sickness,'-packed the keg Of cucumbers in
salt for pickles, and added a jar q gooseberries
to the goodly of jars on the shelf in the eel
lar, filed with dainty preserves, and properly
marked as to their contents, and whether done
7 in rnolasses or sugar 1t is a kind of breath
ing-time between harvest and the corn-hoeing
and fishing soon to follow. Now is the time for
little excursions about the bays and to the sea-
ports within few hours sail. So the girls
teaze their fathers, who really can't see how
they can spare the time, and some gallant
young captain proffers the use of his new schoo
ner now lying in the harbor, and the arrange
ment is soon concluded. Packing into ample
baskets the boiled ham and tongue, the roast
chickens and pot-pies, bottles of milk, lots of
tea and coffee, piles of biscuit and pecks of gin
ger-nuts, and all the requisite utensils for get
ting up chowder at any time, some fine sun
nv morning half the village may be seen mus
tered on the sand-beach, waiting their turn to
be boated off to the pretty craft that looks so
gay in her new colors Fairly afoat, they sing
and fish, and eat, and compare opinions, and
make love so satisfactorily, that the list OF mar
riages in the country paper viii crowd the edl-
torials for many months to come. They land
where the grove looks most romantic, pick ber-
ries, boil their blue fish, make choSder, or
bake, and sail back by moonlight to the
place of their embarkation in the morning
The teams waiting on the beach, to take
them home, good deal wearied yet satisfied
that it was the best time they ever did have
The enjoyment of the day is complete when they
find that the baby has not been cross at ALL at
home; that Charlie has looked the eggs and
brought up the COWS, and fed the pigs; and
that aunt Charity has skinned the milk, and
done the weeks baking, and snugged up the
house for Sunday Good luck to all our farm
ing friends, and such frequent returns of these
refreshing showers that their abundaat crops
of potatoes shall make good all their losses by

Irving and TX Marvel.

The editor of the Springfield Republican thus
sketches these two literary celebrities, he
seen them at Saratoga, few days since:
"a medium sized old gentleman with a feeble
yoice-or cracked voice-thero is no charac-
ter in it-sits talking with friend, and the
friend listens with deep respect to every word
You see gentlemen walking, as we are, purpose
ly down the piazza to look at him-careessly, of
course, and with no apparent rudeness. You
study his features, but you find nothing Iem-
arkable IN them. He is plainly dressed,
plain, sober looking old man, without look a.
bove respectable medioerity, and you sur
prised to hear that you have been looking it the
author Of the Sketch Book, Washington Irving
''They say TX Marvel is here" says gentle
man to me. ''Should you know him were you
to see him? VIII you point him out to me ?'
As this gentleman feels, so feel all. 1 doubt if
there is man here in regard to whom there is
such an intense feeling Of curiosity. The la
dies would give anything to be introduced, and
the gentlemen probably hope they will be dis
appointed. But here comes the object of our
thoughts in an unconscious saunter, dressed in
a light, plain summer rig, and all unmindful of
the heartitchng that is felt on every side in his
behalf An acquaintance takes his cordial
hand and tells him that he is bound for Sharon
Springs, and that he only stops at Saratoga for
the night, and as some tall whiskerando looks
at him askance, as if about to swallow him, he
bids his friend good evening, and we pass on.

BY MRS. B. F. FOSTER.

Tim Dickson was Yankee lad,
Farming his occupation,
The town of Cooper down in Maine,
His birthplace and location.
quiet, simple place it was,
Whose good folks said their prayers,
And thought they had enough to do
To mind their own affairs.
newspaper they seldom saw,
And then had no desire
For lOcomOtion without legs,
Or messages on wire.
In foreign men and foreign things
They took but small diversion,
And deep their religious faith,
For England their aversion.
But Tim he loved the marvellous;
Psychologists had said,
The organ wonder was, no doubt,
The largest in his head.
One day it CHANGED, that Tim unto
Macl1ias town did come
To sell potatoes, and to fetch
Some groceries ''tO hun"
And,there arrived he lounged about,
and gaped in every shop,
And what he had to swop.
At last he met a stranger lad,
Who had a dog to sell,
\ curious little cur it was,
And Tim to wondering fell
The like he'd never seen before,
And ne'er might see sgain,
For twas an English hound, the first
That e'er set foot in Maine.
Much he admired the glossy skin,
The limbs all strength and grace;
The pendant ears, that softness gave
To that sagacious face.
But more, 1 ween, had he admired,
Could he have seen the hound
Spring forth DER England's dewy fields
To hail the bugle sound.
With tails erect, and nostrils spread,
They cleave the morning air;
And lead the joyous huntsmen forth
To chase the stag and hare.
Then, It's a gallant sight to see
The yeomanry ride by,
With scarlet coats and breeches white,
On steeds of mettle high.
Ger hills and wales they go,
While still the wind brings back their cry
Their merry s'yo-o-o !"
vi this Tim Dickson nothing knew,
But well he liked the beast,
And much he longed to show the folks
An English hound, down-East:
And being somewhat flush of cash,
'sI'll buy that dor" he said
The lad was poor, so glad to sell
His fayorite for bread.
The bargain made his errands done,
Soon Tim began to Joy,
but 1t was late ere he arrived
At Cooper with his dog.

LONDON IN 1652.-Mr Weed, of the Albany
Evening Journal, in a late letter from London
says:
''HaYe you realizing sense of what London,
population and magnitude, really is Do you
know that in population it is larger than the
census of 1910 showed the entire State of New
York !? The inhabitants of the cities of New
York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, Albany,
Troy, Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo
combined, would not make, by three or four
hundred thousand, another London 1t has

five, six, seven and eight miles in different
quarters without getting through the wilder
nrss of dwellings. The railroads run for miles,
not through, but over the city. And as for the
wealth of ondon, why, that is beyond the pow
er, if not of figures, at least Of computation.

The way they do things IL, Elk County.


The editor of the Elk County Democrat talks
attempts to poke fun at his neighbors who have
nothing better than beefsteak, he says:
A few days ago, couple of well-known hunt
ers of our country, while pursuing their legiti-
mate trade Of hunting in these prolific forests
came across drove of elk, and in less than five
minutes killed seven of them. 1t is a fact well
known among hunters and almost every body
else, that elk are generally found in droyes of
from three to twelve or fifteen. We are not in
formed as 10 the number in this drove, but
there were few more left of the same sort
This species Of game-the most magnificent the
country afords-is becoming somewhat thinned
out yet occasionally, as in the present ms
tance, some fortunate chap lights upon a drove
of these 'antlered monarchs of the Forest when
if he don't happen to get the buck fever woe
unto them. Whenever you see hunter COM
ing in from excursion, you can tell the mo-
ment you set your eyes upon him whether he
has brought down one of these monsters or not
If he has, he seems inflated as much above his
usual size as huge elk is larger than the most
tinny fawu. His very step is more elastic, and
the twinkle of his eye tells you plainly, Il am
one ofem,' q have focht him
If he has killed half dozen of them at one
time, you can't see him all over at once, you
are in the same predicament with the fellow
whose sweetheart was SO large that he couldn't
hug all round at once. His very breath savors
of elk meat, and he wouldn' waste his ammuni-
ton upon small game, such deer, bear, or
wolves for fortnight after
For the benefit Of our friends abroad, who
can't get any thing to eat, but beefsteak, and
fitch and molasses,' we would say that elk
steak, 1--WE are sorry that you can't have some, !

fellows were taken, and still has slight tend
