And dipping in warm light the pillar'd clouds.

There IS nothing that strikes a stran-

Of the night. Our countryman, DR..

At the North Cape, latitude y de-

several weeks. In June it would be
about twenty-five degrees above the
horizon at midnight. The way the
people there know that it is midnight,
is-they see the sun rise. The chan

LONGEVITY OF QUAKERs.-The late
census returns in England reveal the
singular fact, that the average age at
tanned by this peaceful sect Is liity,one
years, two months and Wenty-one
days, while half Of the population of
this country die before reaching the
aee of twenty-one, and the average
duration of life the world over is but
thirty-thrce years. The Quakcrs,
therefore, live a third longer than the

repose Of character, are, undoubtedly
favorable to longevity.

THE STANDARD.
RALEIGH, SATURDAY. MARCH 10, 1853.
APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.

The Wing papers are engaged, as matter Of
course, in magnifying the facts in regard to appli
cations for Office under Gen. Pierce. These jour
mails appear to be entirely oblivious to what took
place at Washington when Generals Harrison and
Taylor came into power. They forget that Gen.
Taylor was SO beseiged by the hungry applicants
that he surrendered in despair, leaving the work
of turning out and putting in to his subordinates
and that Gen. Harrison was literally worn down, if
not worn out, by the rush which was made on him
by these same patriotic, antil0roscriptsve Wings.
We take it for granted-for Gen. Pierce has
already so announced-that, as general rule
Wings will go out and Democrats will go in. This
is just what every sensible and reasonable man
might have expected. The President is response
BILE to the people for just and energetic admins
tration of affairs, and he will no doubt See to it
that his .subordinates are men not only capable,
but that they concur with him in sentiment as to
the objects he has in view. We do not believe,
however, that there will be any thing like indie
cent haste manifested in the matter; nor do we
believe it certain that every Wing who is in Office
will be elected. But the rule above referred to,
will no doubt be steadily observed.
The pressure Tor Office Is, 1t IS true, considerable,
as it must oe under any circumstances and all adj
ministrations. President Pierce will, however, take
his own time in this as in all other matters. He
has the confidence of the masses, and is therefore,
in condition TO pursue an elevated and indepen-
dent course. His inaugural struck home to the
American heart. With that for his guide, his adj
ministration both of domestic and foreign affairs
will be alike brilliant and successful, and memoir
able in our annals.
