News FROM ALBASY--FUsIoN OF THE HARDs
AND SILVER GRAYs FOR THE SPous.--On dit at
Albany that negotiations are on foot between
the silver grays and Mr.. Bronson, by which the
former propose to give the latter their support
at the coming election, in opposition to the
Seward whig candidate, whoever he may be.
Ofcourse the quid pro quo in the transaction
would be share of the canal spoils, after which
all political parties, and leaders at Albany are
keenly hungering Whether, in the event Of
any such bargain being made, the silver grays
would keep their word, and trust to going
halves with the hards after the election, or
whether they would repent as soon as Mr..
Bronson was fairly on track, and coalesce in
brotherly way with the woolly section of the
wing party, is question. We think the latter
would be very tempting course though it is
hard to understand how Mr.. Bronson would
allow himself to be taken in by 30 shallow
manGuvre. The true solution Of the problem
would be for Mr.. Bronson to declare himself in
frank and nnequivocal terms Hisletter seems
to have gone for nothing, and he still stands
the champion Of the hards. Now, the question
is, will he run. If he will, why was he so coy
few days ago? If he won't, why allow his
name to be used as the rallying point Of a dis
reputable spoils coalitions

"J'he Bible Clerks,

a young man, says the Philadelphia Mcr-
chant, joined two others as a clerk in the
same establishment, and as room mate, in a
certain city. When the first Sunday morning
came after he had entered his new situation,
| he thought Of the old custom a. home of read
ing portion of Scripture as separation for
the day, but he hesitatcd to take his Bible
from his-trunk because OF the presence of the

He went towards his trunk and then returned
to his seat, till his uneasiness was noticed by
one of his companions, who said-''W hats

conscience got the better of his pride, and he
told the truth; and as though the moral feel
ing Of the young man was contagious, the
other clerks exclaimed that they had each
Bible in their trunks, but had not taken it out
for fear OF each other-a fear Of ridicue, the
one from the other. The three bibles were

ncricans are very apt to consider the Chinese

valuable for cultivation, much land which
would be otherwise useless. This canal has
been pronounced by Europeans gigantic

gineerng skill, and even genius, in its con-.
struction. Yet it is only one among MANY
achievements of art to be found on a larger

UNEXPECTED ELEvATIo The vicissitudcs
of human life are very strange. In 1880,
Zachary Taylor, then a Colonel in the army,
wrote letter to General Mcneil, who had
just been appointed surveyor Of Boston, from
which we make the following extract:
am fully aware that it is impossible for
us to pursue any professionals PARTICULARLY
that of arms.-for fifteen or twenty years
without forming strong attachments to it in
various WAYS. ard, of course, must abandon
them With considerable reluctance, but there
are circumstances which should reconcile us
to doing so, and justify us, not only in our
own eyes, but in those of the community.

bic, with half the cmolumcnt attached to it
as there is to the one you have received, and
where | could be located so as to superntenl

and upward lin the army, all of which time

any one post, during that time, begin to
think that need rcposc; but, as | do not

Here is a plain, modest officer of the United
States army, who, in 1880. expressed sin
cere wish that he could retire from his labors
upon some Office, with half the .cmolumcnt
that General Mcneil received, and declared
that he did not possess influence enough to
procure civil appointment and yet this same
man became a world renowned General, and
President Of the United States, in less than
twenty years from that time.

Every day in the journal that with the first
CLEAN of the sun is flung within our portals
we read this little sentence :-"Nlarrcd yes
terday, So and 3d." Every day there is a
wedding feast in some of the mansions Of the
earth; "A casping of hands and union of hearts
in the dim aislcs of some holy temple: a pledg-
ing Of eternal love and constancy during all
the hours that are yet to come down, like
spring flowers upon life's pathway. Each
day some new marriage crown is put on and
she that wears it, leaning upon him whose
love is the brightest jewel set amidst its leaves
steals away from the "dcar old home" and
nestlcs trcmblingly in the fairy cot where
Loves hand has trained the honeysucklc over
the latticcd porch, and placed .Iolian Tyres
in all its easements.
Married Yesterday. There are pearls and
gold shining now amid the flowers that fringe
Loves pathway, and stars cleaning like
great chandeliers in the armament of lIore.
There arc harps tinkling now, whose inclody
is swce!cr than the sound of evening bells,
and joys falling like a shower of amcthysis
upon the hearts that yesterday were wed.
Life now is become beautiful; the soul scars
upwards from the dust like dove looscd
from its cage; there is melody in every breeze
and every place: yea, there are angels in eve
ry path, with crownings for those who are
pressing onward with song and prayer.
Married Yesterday. 1t seems now long
distance to the gravc-a long road to final
rest. But soon the shadows will come and
life lose its summer bloom.-Thcn as the pat
ter of tiny feet is heard about the grand faith
ers house, and little BARNS cluster about his
knee who were married yesterday" mayhap
he will turn back to the record of the past,
weeping silently the while, remembering that
and that soon gathering up their sheavcs,.
they must pass beyond the gates of pearl,
where there will eycrmorc be but one mar
rage-that of the Lamb with his chosen poo
pie.
