Reader, let US picture scene,-one
fFaasht with sad interest, and suggestive
Of nIounful emotions.
Far. away, and in one of the love-
lliest spots that deck the God favored face
Of old Ireland, in years long gone, stood
a beautiful cottage, costly nestled among
1.-The trees and flowers that grew and
lbloomed upon the banks OF one Of those
charming little lakes, of which "Green
Erin" can boast so many, and that served
in the Celtic ages, as mirrors for the
coLEENs ofthose times. This cottage was
the home of Bryan s., who had but
short twelye-months before, gladdened
his heart and brought sunshine upon his
hearth by taking the lovely Norah to his
home, to be the presiding angel over all
that therein was. Old Ireland had not
within her whole length and breadth a
happier peasant than Bryan, nor a more
loving, sweet tempered wife than Norah
Heaven, too, as if to bind their love by
firmer tie, and make their happiness
more complete, had given them a boy
laughing, bright-eyed little elf. Bryan
was proud, Norah was pleased, and
together they thanked God. Years passed
by, and the peasants boy was fast
growing to manhood. Bryan and Norah
had, by their industry and frugality, ac-
cumuated a goodly portion of this worlds
goods, and they determined, for the love
they bore their son, TO give him legacy
Of far more value than filthy lucre, and
consequently we find the peasant boy a
student at the University Of Dublin,

Years had flown. Bryan and Norah
had been gathered 10 their fathers. A
gallant shi p was bounding o'er the billow
4 towards the New World, bearing many
/ persons who were leaving starvation be
| hind, 10 a home in the Land of Plenty.
The peasant boy was one of its passen
gers.

i Yesterday we heard poor miserable
bloaied wretch begging dime to procure
for bis children bread TO keep them from
starving. The intelligent eye ofthe mem
dicant attracted our attention. We en-
tered into conversation with him, and
was surprised at the hneHcy with which
be spoke We were preiectly astonished
at his extensive knowledge OF classic lore,
and we wondered how one so highly
gifted could have fallen so low. But the
waysof Providence are inscrutable. The
peasant boy, the student and the mendi-

Every body, Of course, is anxious to know
something about the personale of the man
who is 10 be our. next President. He is not far
from five feet, eleven inches, in height, and
finely proportioned. His face is impres
siye and commanding, and beaming all
over with The light Of intellect and energy.
We have never seen countenance which
exhibits more lofty purpose, zeal, and un,
disguised frankness Win mind of the
highest order, and harmoniously developed,
he combines the suavity of child. His
habits are those -of man who believes there
is great deal to be done, and very little
time to do it in. He is forever at work,
and we may safely say, that from the first
time he entered public life, no man has
spent his powers more pro 'usely, in carry
ing on. what was allotted to him, than Gen.
PIERCE.

In his love of country, he is a perfect en-.

NkwLY DISCOVERED LAKE.-One would
hardly suppose (says The N. Y. Evening
Post,) that Minnesota was such terra in>
cognitd that lake never heard of before,
as large as half Of Long Island, would at
this late day be discovered within its bor-
ders. 1t appears, however, that such col
lection of water has been ascertained to exist
within fifteen or twenty miles Of the Falls of
St Anthony. The St. Anthony Express
says Of it: ).
calvin A. futile and John H. Stevens,
two Of the oldest aud most reliable settlers
i'll Minnesota, together with several others,
including The writer hereof, some two weeks
since spent three days in the exploration of
this lake. They found it to be from thirty
to forty miles in length, and full fifteen
miles in width, containing an area Of four
hundred and fifty square miles They also
found numerous islands in this lake, many
of which they visited, and one n particular.
that will be found on survey TO measure full
three thousand acres. The explorers, furth-
ermore, found the lake to contain an innu-
merable multitude Of fish, and to be the re-
sort Of myriads Of wild fowl-countless as
the sands of the sea shore. They found its
scenery indescribably. beautiful. They
found, moreover, splendid belt Of timber
skirlingthe borders Of the lake, to the width
of from three to FIVE miles-yery rich in
every variety Of hard wood.

The 1--WE Thirds Rule.

The origin and history Of the two-thirds
rule adopted for the nomination Of p. esideut
in the Democratic National Convention in
1882. and followed up in every Conven
ton since, is as follows:
II he Conventien of 1882 appointed a
committee to report rules to govern its ac-
tion in making its nominations. In this
convention the question was raised. and dis
cussed With some feeling as to what should
be the rule Of voting whether the vote
should be confined to the nsajority States
which had voted for Gen. Jackson in 1923,
OF whether. he minority States, which had
voted against hinl, should also be entitled
to their full ELECTORAL yote, when member
Of Pennsylvania, now deceased proposed
the two.thitds ruleas compromise which
was adopted, and reported by Col. King, as
chairman Of the committee. This rule was
intended 10 secure the majority States from
nominations against their wishes, which
mig BIT have been effected by combinations
between portion Of their own strength
and the esuiinority States.

THE CALIFORNIA FUGIrIvE SLAVE BILL
The bill which has passed the California
Legislature, in relation to fugitive slaves,
provides for the surrender, to their original
masters, Of all colored people in California,
who were slaves before they were brought
into California, thus virtually regulating
the doctrine that California was free terri
tory BY, virtue Of its old Mexican law, and
that slaves could not be held there after the
conquest. Mr.. Van Buren, member of
the Legislature, who figured in New York
at the last Presidential election, as a free
soiler. voted for it, while MIR. Broderick,
formerly a New York bunker, bitterly op-
posed its passage. Ii is said there are no
slaves ia California to which the bill will be
