article, with this caption, which we take from the

Most of our authors Of universal reputation are
Cd. or elderly men. Irving is soventytwo years
of age, Bryant sixty one, Dana sixty-eieht. Hal
lock sixty, Pauld!ng sevcntysix, Prescott sixty
one Sprae nc sixty three, Bancroft tifty-ive, Ev
erett sixty-one Emerson ffty-two, longfellow
ffty-eight, Whittier forty-seven, and Hawthorne
forty-six. All these gentlemen have produced
compositions which, whatever rank posteritv may
assign them. are the best their authors could pro-
duce. The works of Bancroft and Prescott may
not be accepted rs the final standard record Of the
events they have spent their lives in narrating,
but those works attest, in every page, the idoml-
table industry of their authors. Both have given
the world their utmost. Lougfellow 5 poems MAY

except. perhaps, Whittier, had produced works
before they were thirty years old, which continue
to be read.

\ miserable couple of


MILlrRlrE FANATIC. \ miserable couple Of
Milerites male their appearance in our streets ON
Wednesday morning last. The man and his wife
came on in the steamboat from New York, and
went into Bacon's Hotel, but refused to take
lodr;ncs both of them being under great appre,
tensions of being called for before morning. anu
ware unwilling 10 opc their way out OF he Cd IN
a dark room, merely in night dresses. Ihey
therefore took their seats upon trunk IN the lfaii
onj awaited all night expecting to go up at any
moment. In the morning they took their stations
in front of III, Hotel ana stood there all day, the
oh;ect of sncc;al attention from the boys and OF
ths general loaferi sm Of the city. The man seem
Ell to be little less wild than his wife, but wore
the onpeararce of excitement and anxiety-the
wife was Il crazy Il coot. apparently worn out
bv 4 sort of frenzied excitement that had emacia-
ted her almost to Il skeleton. Indeed she had not
tasted food of any description for four days, ac-
cording TO her own statement. and her appearance
gave GOOD evidence of the truth Of the assertion.
They were decently dressed and had evidently
been respectable people. The Il oks of the delu-
ded beings were quite emo i.h to repress every
feeling but that Of pity in those who looked upon
thom their strange looks and incoherent language.
of course could hardly fail of exciting y certain
levity of language and conduct among the unthink-
ins and unfce!ing crowd that surrounded them
They disappeared the next day, and we have heard
nothing from them since. But whether they went
off horizontally or vertically, certainly do not
know.-New London Chronicle.

UNION IS STRENGTH.
The New York Crusader.

In our weekly issue of the 10th ult we
copied from the Newburyport Herald, an ex-
tract, which purported to be taken from the
New York Crusader, in which the Crusader
was made to say, in reference to Gen. Hous-
ton Probably Sam would feel better, if he
could come to firm belief that he was pre-
destined to be the next President Of the United
States" The Crusader has sent US copy Of
the issue from which the Newburyport Herald
took an extract, and which the Herald termi
mated with the above quoted sentence, and we
find no such language in the article Of the Cru
sader The article published in the Crusader
had respectful allusion to General Houston,
but ne such taunt or sheer as that above
quoted.
In copying the extract from the Newbury-
port Herald, we made such comments as were
due to the above language, uttered against an
American Senator, and well tried patriot, and
we applied them to the New York Crusader,
when it now appears they were made by the
Newburyport Herald.
1t is, therefore, due to the editor of the New
York Crusader, that this explanation should be
made to the public, since that press did not
publish the above taunt, as we had been led
to suppose, from the phraseology of the New
buryport Herald
