You we'll may deem me meddlesome, and yet
my unknown friend,
Though reply to you again, wish not to Of
fend
I think that have rightly solved the questions
you propound-
1t certainly must be Pate that now and then

Tea comes from China, E, AT, spells verb

Friend Pat, the swate Hibernians parsonage

And children love the name Of Pa, as all will
quickly own
Now let me task your patience, please, with one
enigma more,
Which like the others, is, Of course, a noun of
letters four.
This noun has often been employed in many
various ways,
BY ancient people, sages wise, and men of
modern days.
'Tis used much by Astronomers, and many a
brilliant star
That bears this name beams joyously from
Heavens blue arch afar.
If rightly you transpose this word, an active

That is irregular and yet the same, in lenses

Ifyou again transpose the word and to it add a

Something twill form which often leads to strife
and enmity.

Scott and Wellington.

The Baltimore American remarks that the
Washington "Union" undertakes a comparison
between Scott and Wellington, in which it at
tempts to disparage the American warrior and to
exalt the Briton. There is nothing surprising in
this. The name and fame of Winfield Scott,
though blended with the glory and honor Of his
country, are now exposed to the denunciation Of
any pretender in politics who can use the Ian
guage Of defamation against him and have the
heart to do it. No Englishman was ever known,
we believe, to say one word in abuse Of his gov.

emouments upon the Duke of Wellington, or

his military life.

out On the Pierce side is the strongest count
to wit: 1872 electoral votes. On the Scott side II

great pertinacity by both sides. New York,
where Scott was so far behind as to be out of
sight, is now an even bet in the consideration Of
shrewd and observing men Of both sides. On the
other hand, Pennsylvania, given up almost at one
time for Scott, is now confidently claimed by the
Democrats, and even bets are made on its vote

ISLAND HALL.--A ball is to be given in this
beautiful Hall this evening, and from what we
have seen and know, we are sure it will be very
pleasant affair. The gentlemen having the man
agement Of it promise that every effort will be
made by them to insure comfort and pleasure to
all.
JUVENILE THIEvEs.-On Saturday evening two
little boys stole two pair of shoes from the door Of
one Of our merchants stores, and escaped with
them. Another lad who was seen with them was
arrested and taken before Captain Goddard, who
tried to get the names of the others from him,
but all efforts were fruitless, the lad commended
that he did not know them. Many Of these little
rogues are prowling about.
SERIOUS CHARaR.-On Saturday lasta country
man appeared before Justice Dom, and made
oath that he had been robbed of about $3.50 on
the road leading to Montgomery county, from 7th
street. He named the persons, and said two of
them threw him down and held him while another
robbed his pockets. The persons named by the
plaintiff have always borne a good character
Another hearing is to be had.

ing was held on the corner Of 9th street and the

abusing his family, and striking his daughter,

CAUSE OF The PooR.-The Ladies' Union Be-
neyolent and Employment Society under the in
auence Of great responsibility, appeals to beney-
oent community to come to the help of the
cause they have espoused, and provide in time to
meet the pressing demands Of the suffering poor
when the stern and Incorporating blasts of
winter shall clothe our now verdant city with ice
and snow Now is the period when the Society
should have the means Of laying in or making
contracts for the delivery Of wood, when called
for, at reasonable prices. If the present fall sea-
SON passes by unimproved in this respect, melan-
choly will be the prospect and wretched the dis
tress of the poor, whose means are inadequate to
meet the pressing demands.
Under this appeal the Ladies' Society rest
with confidence upon the liberality of benevo-
lent community, and will anticipate generous
response,
The collectors Of the Society will call upon the
families for their subscriptions, and upon our cit
liens at large for their contributions

The Parallel between Generals SCOT, ans
Pierce.


Mr.. yinton, Of Ohio, in paragraph we quoted
on Saturday, drew fair and just parallel be-
tween the candidates Of the two parties for the
Presidency. The Intelligencer of this morning
makes the same quotation, and comments upon
il as follows:
Not only will the known and proven civil
qualifications of Gen. Scott bear the most adyan-
tsgeous comparison with those Of his admittedly
respectable competitor Gen. Pierce, but may be
fairly measured, now that Mr.. Clay is no more,
and his great compatriot Mr. Webster excepted.
with those Of any ofSur living public men. Even
his friends, in the enthusiasm which his dazzling
military exploits excite, forget that General
Scott was originally man of high civic. educa-
ton; that he has for full twenty successive years
sat face to face with this Government of ours in
all its changes; has, with that constant activity
OF mind Tor which he is so remarkable and pa
triotlc interest in which none surpassed him,
canyassed in private along with ali our leading
men OF both sides, all the public questions which
have agltatsd or can well agitate the country !:
has come to know personally the value of eyery-
body as public servant who has done or ia 1T
for anything Of Importance; and, besides all this
has participated in many of the most important
public counsels of his time, whether Wings were
in power or Democrats inpower. Gen. Jackson
confided to him most dangerous and critical mat
tiers, in which he was to play, and did play, the
politician SO ably as to have no need to play the
soldier. SO did Mr.. Van Buren,. In short, mo-
thing among us is ripper or ampler that General
SCOTS political experience and few could have
better profted by it, Though so well read man
that we have Often considering his active militia
ry life, been surprised at the extent Of his read
ing, yet his craftsmanship is more practical than
theoretical AL, therefore, we repeat, which
Mr.. Vinton has said of his civil qualifications, is
surety true. II to this we add, as all General
Scouts personal history proves we may do with
eqaal Y ath, that he is one Of the most humane
ana kina-hearted Of men, and at the same time
one of the most moral, conscientious. and inst
the reader will have what we can yonob 10 he q
faithful portrature Of the personal character of
Winfield Scott"
