THE FATAL CASUALTY.

The Eastern and Southern papers came to us
laden with articles OF confidence on the subject
Of the late bereavement Of President and Mrs
Pierce in the hss Of their only son and child by
the recent accident between Boston and Con-
cord The following is from the Washington
Republics
1t was with the sincerest sympathy and sor
row that we recorded yesterday tie brief des.
patch informing us of the bereavment that had
betalen Franklin Pierce and his estimab'e wife.
In moment their only bny--the last surviving OF
their children-has been snatched from them by
a violent and shocking death. In the natural
elation Of his new honors, the Pres dent elect OF
this great repualic has peen stricken win
blow so heavy and grievous as to paralyze his
future, aud render him inditf rent to its over
and fame. As he bends over the remains OF his
beloved child how Insignificant must appear
in his eyes all the baubles and bubbles OF official
life, and how gladly would lie abandon them
all, and how JOY fully become the plain, simple
citizen again, if, by SO doing, he could restore
and animate that mutilated form!
Such is the ordinary providence of God
Unmixed felicity falls to the lot of no man.
The COED and evil Of life are distributed with a
more even.handed equity than the queruous are
willing to admit, or the unrehec.ing able to
understand. Honors are thrust upoa nm
whose heart is breaking with the griet OF de-
mestic bereavmen,s. The helpless and hope
less invalid rolls in riches which ne would part
with to the last farhing for the erect frame and
healthful energies of neighbor who depends
for his daily bread on his daily toll. All seem
ing prosperity has its alloy-sll seeming mis-
fortune its aleviaiions.
May God temperto the sufferersthe pain and
grief Of this irreparab.. loss. The heart OF Q
nation throbs in sympathy with theirs, and with
theirs the tears of nation mingle over the ash
Is of the beloved and lost. Though the sorrow
that is shared is not diminished, even the be
reaved parents may.6nd solace in the reAec'
ton that a vi hole people are fellow-mourners
with them over the sad event that has made
their household dcsolate!
