THE COTTAGE DOOR.
BY T K HERvEY, ESQ.

How sweet the rest that labor yields
 The humble and the poor, Where sits the patriarch of the fields
 Before his cottage door: The lark is singing in the sky,
 The swallow in the caves And love is beaming in each eye
 Beneath the summer leaves! The ar amil1his fragrant bowers
 Supplies glpurchased health, And hearts are bounding mid the flower
 More dear to him than wealth! Peace, like the blessed sunlight, plays
 Around his humble cot, And happy nights and cheerful days
 Divide his lowE lot And when the village Sabbath bell
 Rings out upon the gale, The father bows lis head to tell
 The music of ts tale- And fresher verhre seems to fill
 The fair and dewy sod, And every infanttongue IS still.
 To hear the word of God o, happy hearts!--to Him who stills
 The ravens wfen they cry, And makes the Fly meath the hills
 So glorious to he eye The trusting patriarch prays to bless
 His labors with increase; Such ''ways are ways of pleasantness, And all such "paths are peace!'

SIGNIFICANT -Of the numerous newspapers in this city, party, neu- traI and indipendent, only two have attempted to justify the removal of Judge Bronson. All the others are decided in their condemnation of the unprecedented and unprincipled act. Upon no exciting question of morals or of politics or act of party policy has there ever been such unanimity of in- dignant expression. Whatever print we take up, with the exception of the free-soiI Post, and its little free soil coadjutor, we find only variations of the same note of emphatic disap- probation. Every true opponent Of a sound public sentiment is ringing charges upon the one indignant tune.
 Other administrations have ven- tured on experiments of doubtful pro- priety, and have been sternly ebuked. but none received from any quarter, former friends as we'll as from former enemies, such scathing expression of contempt and scorn.-[N. I. Eve. Mirror.

The Arctic EXpidition- The North
 west Passage accomplished.

It was briefly stated that in the tel egraphic foreign intelligence that Com mander Inglefeld had arrived in Eng land, from his Arctic search for Sir John Franklin, and had been unsuc- ceesful-but he brings the interesting intelligence that the problem of the Northwest passage has been solved at last, and that ship has actually sailed round the American continent through the Arctic Ocean. Commander Mcclure carries off the honor of this remarkable exploit. It will be recollected that Commander Inglefeld was despatched in H. Ms steamship Phoenix, in the spring of the year, with supplies to Sir Edward Belcher's squadron. He has succeeded in depositing the supplies as directed, and is accompanied by Lieut.. Creswell, of the Investigator, with des- patches from Commander Mcclure, who sailed in December, 1849, in search of Sir John Franklin, in H. M. s. h. vestigator, and from Capt. Kellett, who sailed in the spring of 1852, in H. M. s. Resolute, on the same mission.
 No traces of Sir John Franklin have been discovered, but Commander Me Cure, in letter dated the Bay of Mercy, Earrings Island, April, 1853, announces his success in accomplishing that which has long been mysterious problem, namely: the North Western Passage. He is coming home by Baf- fms Bay. Natives have been discov- cred farther North than ever were seen before, at Woollaston Sound, at Vic- toria Land, and Prince Albert's Land. Copper, of the purest description, Was found in Jumps, and the natives, who were very friendly, were much amused at seeing the sailors run to pick up the Jumps of metal with which they edge their spears. Commander McClure's vessels have wintered in the pack in 1850, and the succeeding years, with out receiving any injury. The des- patches will no doubt be published. The gallant writer states that during the winter of 1850, his vessel wintereC . in pack, without sustaining any dam. age, (and surprising to say, he has tt ], report the same result at the end of tht third winter, and without the loss of a single man of her crew, in the frozer waters called Prince of Wales Strait and communicating with Barrow's, a: he ascertained on 26th October of tha year.
 In July, 1851, he states, "that sucl a body of ice came down upon us witt a strong east wind, and set the vesse 80 far to the south, that we determined to, attempt passage by the east end of the cliffs of Banks Land, forming the north entrance of the large island un- der which we now are.'' The difficult ties and dangers of this passage may be estimated from his statement that the ice foes encountered measured from 45 to 70 feet beneath the water, only l 6 or ' above.

SLEEP OF INFANTS.

ly in regard 10 the sleep of infants, but it may be well for me here to add few words.
 The sleep of infants and young children should ordinarily come from a natural tendencyto repose, prompt ed by proper nursing, food and ex- ercise.
 It may be proper, it is true, often- times 10 soothe them to repose by gentle founding, or the soft lulling notes of some nursery air, or, if cradle with rockers is used, by its gentle motion; but if these do not quickly succeed in producing the des- fred effect, it is usually best to de- sist for a time from further efforts.
 It is astonishing to witness the perseverance of some mothers in their efforts 10 cause thei: children to go 10 sleep at any time that will suit their convenience, and painful to be a spectator of the unhappy feelings sometimes produced in the infant by such ill-advised measures.
 It may be regarded as a very i'm mate rial matter whether cradles with rockers are used or not.
 The gentle motion sometimes ap- pears to be very soothing, and l see no objection to its occasional en- ployment; but if one is used, care should be taken not 10 rock it af- ter the babe is asleep.
 When laid down 10 sleep, their eyes should always be protected from bright light, both by day and by night; by day they should be turn ed away from the windows, and at night from the lamps.
 Their faces should never be cov- cred or imbeding.
 It is better that they should be laid upon one side, and not upon the back.
 When sleeping, they should not be intentionally awakened without good reason.
 When sleeping, they should be covered with sufficient clothing to protect thementirely from theslightest cold, aud, at tie same, time, care must be taken against laying them down, in the daytime especially, with so much clothing upon and over them as 10 throw them into a pro- fuse and facilitating perspiration, as is quite too often done by young moth CTS.
 In cold, anG also in the temperate, climates, beds of feathers are very allowable, but not so in warm. The bedrooms of children should be large and airy. To say that they should be kept clean with scrupulous care is unnecessary.
 They should be kept quite, but not too much so.
 It is desirable that TO plants should be kept in their sleeping-rooms.
 At night, young infants especially if feeble, should sleep in the same beds with their mothers.
 This is particularly important du- ring the colder seasons of the year. and where the room is not kept of uniform temperature throughout the whole night, as it is through the day.
 But under other circumstances, and after they are several months old, it may be well 10 have them occupy small cots by themselvs; the cots. for convenience sake, being placed by the bedside of the mother. l do not give these directions thoughtlessly or without good rea- son; they are not only agreeable 10 the instincts of nature, but in accor- dance with the dictates of common sense and sound phiiosophy.-Dr. Tracy.

The Difference with a Demagogue.

MT Secretary Marcy "spreads him. self' in the case of Koszta. Why?- Koszta was a foreigner, and the Sec retary wished to catch all the natural ized votes. Captain Gibson, native born American citizen, suffered atro- cious outrages at the hands of the Dutch authorities at Batavia, comes home, and lays his complaint before the Pierce Administration, asking for the vindication of his rights. What does MT. Secretary Marcy do? Blow up the Dutch, as he was so eager to do with Austria? Not a bit of it! He sets down and writes to Mir. McGregor of New York, making inquiries about who Capt. Gibson is, stating that he has understood somewhere that Mir. Gibson is totally unworthy of the pro- teclion of the government, and that he, the Secretary, has been informed that his statements (Gibson's) cannot be relied upon. What made him unworthy of the protection of the government of his native land, or on what grounds his statements were not reliable enough to institute prompt inquiry into the al- legged gross outrage upon an American citizen, the brooches -mending Secreta- ry did not vouchsafe to say. The cut ting rebuke of MT. McGregor's reply, and the public indignation at such a dereliction of his official duty, has driv
 en Mir. Marcy to try and skulk from under the popular condemnation by the poor and pitiful plea that the letter was prepared by clerk, and signed without being scrutinized? A contrib utor to the New York National Demo crat makes it the occasion of the fol- lowing capital jeu d'eSpra:

PAINFUL CIRCUMSTANCE John, a little son of MT. A. R. Vest, of Co., lumbia, Missouri was so much in- iured a short time since by his un- thoughtful school mates, that he died The boys were playing "sack" the modus operandi of which is throwing one boy down, and heaving others, sack fashion, upon him as high as they can be piled. In this manner, Mr.. Vests son was so crushed, that he died after much painful suffering.

REMOVAL OF JUDGE BRoNsoN.- The N. York Courier and Enquirer has the folowingremarks upon this subject:
 "Collector Bro,son has met the fate all have anticipated, but in no sense is he victim. He has suffer- ed in nothing; in fact, he this day enjoys more of the respect, more, oi the consideration md more of the confidence of this community than ever before. He has lost his office simply because he has kept true 10 his own sense of right, and would not make his will observient to anoth- er's. He has respected his office too much to permit either to be made d tool of Executive power. From first taking his appointment, he has evin- ced an honest intelligent judgment and manly independence-and that is his crime. Thep is no preience that Judge Bronson has in any respect proved unfaithful to his official duty. No attempt was made to cast re- proach or suspicion upon his oihclal or his personal character. In the estimation of every right-mlnded man he is just as worthy of his ottlce this day as he was the very day he re- ceived his commission. The Cabinet has the victory; but few more such victories offorce over principle would be the death of it, were it ten times stronger than it actually is. Pres ident Pierce'S administration cannot be saved by mere party machinery of any kind; it may sustain itself by mor- al power, and in default of this must sink beyond redemption.

The State 0t the Case.

A New York Journal which contrib uted very largely o make Gen. Pierce President, and which claims to have put Marcy into the Cabinet, thus speaks of the benefts likely to accrue from the recent declaration of war of the Administration upon the national DOT ton of the Democratic party:
 "Marcy's tenure of power will show what must be expected from politicians who are ever ready to sacrifice princi- pie to faction, and honor to place; Bronson's dismissal will illustrate the impossiblity of fusing honest men and traitors together in the hope of forming a homogeneous government. Marcy has now fairly joined issue with those who postpone petty party interests to the broad welfare of the country. He has entered boldly upon campaign, in which he and lis faction figure as the champions of he narrow doctrines of an obsolete fation, and the delib crate foes of all wlo realize the worlds progress, and lool to the substance, not the form, of political questions.
 The dismissal oI Collector Bronson is ample evidence >f the temper of the present administration. A government that cannot retain the alliance of an honest man, whose only fault was his high regard for p'inciple, and his un- finching fidelity u the Union, cannot pretend to either f these claims to es- teem. Their previous course had afford ed inferential evidence of the fact; the dismissal of Collector Bronson confirms these differences, and stamps the char acter of the Cabine in indellible letters. The Rubicon is cr,ssed."
