From summer birds and meadow flowers

And daily life and duty seemed

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Brother of the President.

Among all the charges that have been
brought by reckless and unscrupslous
opposition against the present administra-
ton, that of nepotism, or iavoritism to re-
lations, cannot certainly be preferred as
will be apparent from the following incl
dent. Que dav last week a number Of
worthy and substantial farmers and dro-
vers, who h ID been attending the Cam.
b,idge Cattle Market, congregated in the
temporary depot at Porters station, and
the conversation turned OH politics.
Some Of the assembly were either wings
or freesoilers, and the way the Nebraska
bill, the President Judge Douglas, etc,
were handled, was acaution to the friends
Of intervention. Presently, sturdy
looking farmer, with clear pair of eyes
and an honest face, put a question to the
most violent declaimer-an out and out
abolitionist which Immediately arrested
the attention Of tue whole company to
himself.
The conversation then proceeded, but
had not progressed very far before the
sophistries Of the abolilionist were expos
ed and refuted by the plain common
sense arguments Of the farmer. This was
acknowledged on all sides, except, Of
course, by his opponent; and satisfied
with his victory the farmer modestly re-
tired from the place, leaving the company
at liberty to scan his arguments and guess
about himself at their leisure. lie talk
ed like book said one. Yes hard
]y thought he was so well posted up re-
marked another. He looked rough
but talked like lawyer observed a
third. But who is he 2 was the ques-
ton now generally put. At this mo-
ment Murry, the depot master, who
had been quietly listening to their spec
ulations, stepped forward, and in his qu.
ct way, said: Gentlemen, that is Mr..
Henry Pierce, nf Hllshoro' county, New
Hampshire-brother to the resident i
the United States.
And that was true. We learn that
Mr.. Pierce regularly attends the Cam
bridge Cattle Market every week, with
some Of the products m his fine farm
in New Hampshire and is everywhere
esteemed as an honest, high-minded, in
telIigent and Patriotic American citizen.
What an interesting specticle does this
presentT Here was the brother of the
Chief Magistrate of ono of the greatest
nations on the face of the globe-a per
son qualified to fill many respectable
posts, yielding handsome pecuniary emolu-
ments-pursuing the hard and humble
but ennobling calling Of an American
farmer, while word from his brother
in office could place him where his purse
might be easily and lawfully gorgcd
with the glittering cash of the public
treasury. This is one among the many
instances Of the gle-heartedness and
usefulness of the President of the Unit
ed States-Franklin Pierce.-Boston Post.
