LITTLE QUAKEREss IN HuRRF-An amusing
matrimonial story is told Of the oden time Ne5Y
England. 1t SO fell out that two young people be-
came attached to each other, young people some
tunes do The young womans father was d wealthy
Quaker; the young man was poor but resDeetahle.$
The father could stand such union, and resoIutey
opposed it, and the daughter dared dsobeY OPENLY
She met hin by moonlight while she pretended never
to see him-and she pined and wasted in spite Of
self She was really in love-a state Of sigEs and
tears which women otener reach more in imagination
than reality. So the father remained inexorable
Time passed oD and the rose of Marys damask cheek
passed off She let not conceaIment like a worm in
the bud, prey on the darnaslS cheek, however, but but
when her father asked her why she pned, she always
told him. The old gentleman was a widoHer, and
loved his girl dearly. Had it been widowed mother
never have given way beforeslle importunities of
daughter Men not, however; so stubborn in such
matters and when the father that his daughters
heart was really set upon the match he surprised her
one day by breaking out: Mary, rather than nope
to DEATH thou hadst better marry as thee chooses and
when thee pleases.''
And what did Mary Wait till the birds of the air
had told her swain OF the change, till the father
had time to change his mind again? Not bit OF it.
She clapped her neat plain bonnet on her head walk
ed directly into the street. and then directly the
house of her intended the street could carry her.
s5fcMaked iatn tho house without lsroelsine--for
knocking was not fashionable then-she found the
family just sitting down to dinner. Some little COM
motion was exhibited at so unexpected an apparation
as an heiress in the widows cottage but she needed

IHE MERcHANT.-The merchant makes no claim
to benevolence or patriotism as his ruling motive is
trade all he processes is absolute and undertaking
justice. The morals Of trade are of the strctest and
purest character. 1t is not an uncommon opinion
that there is laXty in the mercantile code which
looks with Indulgence on what called the tricks
OF trade. 1t is not So Whilst the direct object of
all trade is gain, individual benefit, not the slightest
preVarcatlon Or deviation from truth is allowable.
There Is no class of men with whom the Christian
rule OF dong to others what expect or require in
return, is more strictly demanded than among the
merchants. Mercantile honor is as delicate and fra
gile as that Of 1t will not bear the slight
est STAN. The man in trade who has been found to
equVocate or alter in his course, becomes marked
man. He is avoided. It is thus found, by expert
ence, that integrity is almost as uniformly the accom-
panment OF success, as it always is of character 1t
Is true that in the manifold operations of trade there
are opportunities and temptations to acts of dshon
esty more frequent than in other occupations is found
to yield to Them What insist on is the rigidity of
the rule which controls the action of the honorable
merchant, and under which alone he can claim that
name.
But whilst the selfish principle lies at the founda-
tlon OF trade, there is no reason why the trader him
self should not pe active in benevolence and all the
Christian virtues There is no occupation which has
tendency to liberalize the mind more than that of
the merchant. His intercourse is wide with men of
all opinions and all countries. He perceves that in
teGrty, virtue and honor are not confined to narrow
circle or to one country. We accordingly find full
proportion OF men engaged in trade among the pa
irons and managers OF our charitable and benevolent
institutions. They are also amongst the most liberal
supporters OF enterprises undertaken for the public
good. 1t is perhaps natural that men accommodating
their own fortunes should have less hesitation in adj
ventnrng property in new enterprises, than those
holding property by inheritance. The fact appears

IEIE MAN OF THE PEoPLE.-Under this caption
that sterling paper, the New York Express thus
speaks of Millard Fillmore:
Mr.. Fillmore has at length reached his home in
Buffalo, after being for whole week uninterruptedlv
almost the recipient of such honors have butlarely
II ever been heaped upon public man in this coun-
try There has been nothing at all to compare with
1t IN late years, and nothing that remember to
surpass it in years gone by. The spontaneous mani
festations Of popular affection and esteem which
greeted him at every step, from the moment of his
landing from the steamship Atlantic in the heart of
this mighty metropolis, to his arrival at Buffalo, alto
gether constitute of the noblest tributes to the
patriot and statesman in the history of our country
1t was no idle holiday show. The citizens who, by
thousands turned out of their beds here at midnight
to welcome him back to his native land are not man
worShppers The myriads who thronged his path
way all along the line of the Hudson and crowded
ms line OF march from the State House at Albany to
the shores of Lake Erie came out not to see "a reed
shaken by the wind, nor yet "a man clothed in soft
rament;" nor victorious general fresh from some
sangllnary scene of human slaughter, surrounded by
al the vulgar glories of war; but Citizen Patriot
statesman whose hold on the peoples hearts is Of
higher, hoer and more enduring kind than any
winch the worlds Caesars OR Napoeons ever had it in
their power to beast. Those enthusiastic plaudts,
ringing all the way from the Bay of New York to the
rams OF Old Niagara; those grasps of the hand
by men, and women, and children, by young and old,
and rich and poor have future as well as a present
significance. And the meaning Of it all is the sub
lime consciousness that amidst the roar of the
breakers at the South, and the shadows, clouds and
darkness rolling up in the North threatening the de-
structlon of the Ship of State there is at least one
hand at the hem tried true and steady which, under
providence, will enable us to weather the storm and
reach haven of safety aud peace. Only such con
vlctlon as this-the conviction that Fillmore is the
Man TOR the Times-coud have evoked the almost un-
paralleled demonstrations of public regard Of which
our columns to-day and for the week past have been
the teemlng record. 1.-The greatest is behind"

AN EXPELLED CALIFORNIAN IN New YoRK.-The
New York Tribune of the ID inst, has the following
Bill Mulligan, one of a notorious gang whom the
Vigilance Committee of San Francisco have expelled
from California made his appearance recently in this
city, having arrived on board the steamship Illinois,
and soon began conducting in manner similar to
that which cost him Punishment from San Francisco
1t appears that on Monday evening he met three gen
temen at the Girard House, who had recently return
ed from California, and who, while there are said to
have been members of the Nigilapce Committee of
San Francisco On finding these gentlemen Multi
gan at once recognized them, and soon he procured
the aid of one Hughes and two or three others of his
own stamp, and this gang waited for chance to
"ptch into " the Vigilance Committee. Soon one of
the gentlemen crossed the street from the hotel to-
wards Hopes grocery. when Mulligan rushed at him
and struck him powerful blow. The gentleman
seeing the odds against him, and not wishing to soil
his hands by touching such scamp, scampered off,
and thus far he has not appeared to prefer com
plant against the assailant. Some hours after this
occurrence, Hughes, who keeps rum shop up town,
was seen walking arm in arm with Mugan in Broad
way. 1t is expected that large number of the vag-
abonds who have been expelled from San Francisco
will come to this city, and unless police are quite
vigiant will get the upper hand of them.

CURIOUS HISTORY OF FRUTs.-IHe Nut-The
