The AMERICAN House., BosToN.-It is

our friends from the country, who used in years
gone by to stop at Brig hams, in Hanover street,
will find on the same spot now, comforts and
splendors of which they little dreamed then, at
the same price, if we are not mistaken. AT any
rate, they will get twenty five per cent below the
fashionable prices of the crack hotels, all that the

MAN was Made TO Mourn.

A few seem lavorites of fate,
In pleasures lap carest;
Yet, think not all the rich and great
Are likewise truly blest.
But, oh! what crowds, in every land,
Are wretched and forlorn;
Through weary life this lesson learn,
That man was made to mourn.
Many and sharp the numerous ills
Inwoven with our framel
More pointed still we make ourselves,
Regret, remorse, and shame!
And man, whose heaven-erected face,
The smiles of love adorn,
Mans inhumaniIy 10 man,
Makes countless thousands mourn,
See yonder poor, o'erIabored wight,
So abject, mean, and vile,
Who begs brother of the earth
To give him leave to toll:
And see his lordly lelIow-worm
The poor petition spum,
unmindful, though weeping wife
And helpless offspring mourn.
Him design'd yoa Iordling's slave
BY Natures law designed,
Why was an independent wish
Fer planted in my mindl
Ifnot, why am subject to
His cruelty or scornl
Or why has man the will and power
TO make his fellow mourn!

TEMPEST IN TEAPoT.-The Transcript OF
Saturday, buzzed about, like fly with its wings
half singed off, In its furry, it attempts, as
we can gather from its incoherent rawlings, TO pro-
duce the impression that one Of the editors of this
paper has ten guilty Of horrible misdemeanor.
The facts of the case simply these. Previous 10
the election last fall and up TO last week, a boy be-
longing TO the Transcript establishment, had been
permitted every day, to pass in the cars, to Franz
ingham and back, for the purpose of selling the
Transcript to the passengers. About the 18th of last
month, we concluded to the privilege for
the Spy If it could be obtained, and took the prelim
mary steps for thar purpose. But after consultation
between the Railroad folks and the proprietor Of the
Transcript it was concluded, rather than to allow
US to put the Spy into the cars, in fair competition
with the Transcript, exclnde the carriers of both;
and the Transcript boy was accordingly withdrawn
on Thursday morning last. This is the awful deed,
on our part, which has caused two-thirds of cole
umn Of Transcript splutter. We have survived its
infection, and find oursef much in the condition of

MRS. BosTwIcK's CONCERT. few of the
cluzens of Worcester have recently enjoyed the priv
ilege oflistening to Mrs. Emma Gillingham Bost-
wick. These will readily assent to the statement,
that she possesses voice Of uncommon excellence,
and that she uses itwth power and sweetness and
artistic skill that rarely equaed. No brief no.
tce like this not do any thing like Justice to her
merits. 10 hear her is TO be delighted, and the
second hearing but enhances the pleasure of the
first.
The lady's appearance as she presents herself to
her audience, is graceful and winning. At
prepossessedi in her favor, you are prepared to re-
ceve with pleasure the charming tones which she
is soon to pour into your ears. The low tones of
her voice are remarkably full, clear, and rich. Her
high notes are sweet, delicate, and enchanting. Be-
tween these two extremes, she hardly seems to have
the power Of making harsh, or awkward, or TN
musical sound 1t is not often that any one gives
us public entertainment, in which there is SO little
to criticise and much to admire. More than any
singer we have heard, she reminds us of the slatc"
Jenny Lind. Indeed, her chest tones are manlestly
perior to those of the ilusrious Swede. From all
who we're permitted to hear her voice, in reading
the musical conceptions Of great masters,or revealing
amid the tender melodies of the ballad, or soaring
on the sublime strains of sacred song she carries
with her large tribute OF grateful praise. We
earnestly desire that she may visit us again. Quite
certain are we, that she would meet warm and
heartfelt welcome. Nor can we doubt that the great
body of our music loving citizens would gadl, avail
themselves of the privilege of witnessing her beau
tiiully artistic performances.
We could say much of MIR. Eben's flute playing,
especially Of the and beauty with which he ex.
scutes the most difficult passages. The "American
Tenor also should come in Tor share of our IA
vorable regards; and Mr.. Allen on the Piano, ac-
quilted himself with much skill and good taste,
as to elicit the hearlest applause. He is already
far on his way the very first rank of performers
on this instrument, and quite in advance of many
whose pretensions are greater, and whose praises
have been more wildly sounded.
On the whole, we have but to repeat the wish,
that the Hall had been filled with an appreciative
audience, when Mrs. Bostwck filled it with such
charming soundsand that will soon be convenient
for her to visit us again. S.
