Tim living.


Preparations are being made in
several Of the States for the obser.
vance of this ancient and honorable
custom. and as November, by common
consent, is the most appropriate mouth,
the question arises. shall we have
by Proclamation, IL public Thanks
giving this year of our lord 1856 g
Verify, we cannot see far enough into
The coming time, to ascertain whether
or not we shall have any thanks to
offer, and there is no fortune teller in
this vicinity, wiling to risk her repu-
tation, by lifting up tie curtain Of the
deep, to let US see, what is there writ
ten. One thing in reference to a
Thanksgiving, and in its favor is;
that all nations Of people and all per-
suasions of religion, if not Of politics,
can Join IN it i; for all alike worship
the Same Great Spirit, Who is the
Author, Of all light and all life.
This much can we say in safety
for the coming month. and it is a sutti
eient reason Of itself why we should
have Thanksgiving those who live
to see it, can thank the Lord, that
they are not dead that they have
the prerogative to strut and fret them
selves upon this neither world, and
make fools or asses Of themselves, as
they like.
We cannot now, say, what party
will be up and what party down but
We can say with safety, that the sun
will shine as brightly on one as on the
other, and if some Of our people are
and find that they have
lost the game, and with it, all they
ventured upon it they will have the
consolation Of knowing, that the Offices,
to which they aspired, will still remain
IN the country to be filed by patriotic
gentlemen that time will roll on and
turn out the occupants by death or
otherwise as long as there is
life there is hope. Truth remains the
same, and tho man whose life is based
upon principle, is like Hotspur, in the
play, his life is settled upon the sure
foundation of honor
My honor is my life both grew in one,
Take honor from me aud my life is done,
Then good my eEe, my honor let me try,
In that live; and by it win die"
One thing for certainty; whether
Fillmore, Buchanan, or Fremont, be
elected President, the glorious old
Ship of State, will ride onward and
upward in her destiny.
All the friends of either party can
not realize their bright hopes, there
fore all alike agree, upon a should

opposition is great help to man.-
Kites rise against and not NTH the

none. Norman ever worked his passage

Hardship is the native soil Of manhood
and self.reliance. He that cannot
abide the storm without flinching or
quailing, strips himselfin the sunshine,
and lays down by the wayside, to be
overlooked and forgotten. He who
but braces hlmselfto the struggle when
the winds blow, gives up when they
have done. and falls asleep in the still
ness that follows.

Mr.. Comet The truth of re-

careful reader of your paper for four

instrument of writing "all mankind are
possessed OF certain inalienahle rights

AN AnTEsIAN IDEA.--It has beer


suggested by Celebrated Artesian
IN this vicinity, that as the borelng 10
Canal street" has stopped, on &C
count of the anger being too short;
that another plan be resorted to. 1t
Is q well known principle ia hydraulics
that nothing can resist the action of
water--it will work It's way through
the granite rock. This fact is estab.
lished, hence--as is argued, if stream
Of water was introduced into tho well,
from tho river--pumped up say to a
height Of a thousand feet and then sent
down III a jet--to the place where the
last auger gave way-that it would
wash on out in the course Of time, }"
and accomplish the object had in view
by the academy Of sciences.
Another and perhaps more dcsir-
able end would be attained the stream
would serve to cool down great men
after the labors Of a great speech
They might, be taken to Canal street,
and revivifed in a few minutes, by
shower bath, coming from a distance
Of thousand feet in the Heavens
above.
MORE DEAD Men ALIvE.-It is
now ascertained that the twenty sew
en- other men who were brutally MUIR
dered with Captain Brown in Kan
sas, few weeks ago, have all come to
life egain. Instead Of being dead, they
were only knocked off their legs for a
few moments, and remained in state
Of suspended animation, at the time
the telegraph went to work sending of
the intelligence.

they used TO hear when deafening shouts for
