lhl~ conversation was suddenly inter-
ruptrd by the app 'arance ofJohn. The

and John, weary and almost exhausted
by h hard days work left the field tor

1t is strange that people can b. so

children, are decidedly wanting, in good
manners. They even had the impulence
to Interrupt the conversation by telling
several foolish stoli's, which occurred
at school to-day. To all Of this their
mother replied very moderately, that
they ought not to tell tales out of
school. Ii they had been my children,

them TO bed, rather than allow them to
cultivate such DANCE Gus hatits. 1t is
not wonderful to M, however, that his

This World.
By TOM MOORE.

Let's take this world ,s some wide scene,
TArough which, in frail tut buoyant boat
With skies now dark. and now serene,
Together thou md must float,
Bcholding oft on either shore,
Bright spots where we should love to stay
But time plies swift his flying oar,
And away We speed, away, away
Should chilling winds and rains come on,
We liraise our awning 'gainst the shower
Sit closer till the storm is gone,
And, smiling, wait II SUMMER hour.
And II that summer hour shoull shine.
We'll know its brightness cannot stay,
But harry, while tits thine aud mine,
Complain not when it fades away,
SO shall we reach Mt last that Fall
Down which life currents all must 90
The dark, the brilliant. destined all
To sink into the void below.
Nor cen that hour shall want its charms,
If side by side, still fond we keep,
And calmly, in each others arms
Together linkel, go down the steep.

disti ction was, that q she'll mi itht

make confusion, and do no good. II
order was just th'n being discussed, c
Hamilton remarking that it seemed
him unsOldierlike to halloo a she.
while Knox conteuded the contrary, as.
that the order was wisely given by Gc.r
Washington, who cared for the life O.
the men. The argument, thus state
was progressing with a slight degree @
warmth, when suddenly spat spa:
two shells fell and struck within the ?.
doubt. Instantly the cry broke out {
all sides, "a shell ~ aud such scramI

From the Republic Of Thursday.

1t il our painful duty to announce the death of
Mrs. Fillmore, the wife of the late President,
which occurred yesterday morning at Willard
Hotel. in this city.
The serious illness of Mrs. Fillmore has been
known for some time past, but until within
the last few days little apprehension was felt in
regard to the result. She was attacked with bron-
cha inflammation of the lungs on the 9th inst :,
and this was followed by suffusion of water:
producing complication which baffled the skill
of the eminent physi who had been called 70
her relief. Her sufferings at various stages of
the disease were severe and protracted but they
were endured with Christian patience and for
titude. She retained consciousness until
within brief period of dissolution, and died
calmly, and without apparent pain, ia the pre-
sence of her family.
On learning the melancholy bereavement,
President Pierce directed the postponement of
the meeting of the Cabinet, and the closing of
the various Executive Departments for the day.
He also addressed the following letter of condo
lence to Mr.. Fillmore
EXECUTIVE MANSION, March 30, 1858.
My DEAR SIR: Information has justreached
me of the death of Mrs. Fillmore. beg you to
accept the assurance of my earnest coincidence in
this great bereavement.
Yielding to my deep feelings of sympathy,
and in testimony Of respect for the memory of the
deceased, have directed the meeting of the
Cabinet this day to be suspended, and the public
Offices to be closed.
l am, with great consideration, your friend,
FRANKLIN PIERCE.
