E1TH. B.s Reflections about the MOSQUITOES.
70 y32 oare you vilanous, wrath-provoking things,
10 you dare again approach after the sweeping measures
have taken to rid myself of your hateful presence
round and round the room Eve traversed broom in hand
Aiming blow at-where you were not when it struck.
Sleep not to my cyelids but to my eyelids come
Whose shril notes tell of hunger unappeased
Oh, how hardened is my heart, for if one lucky slap
Should bring thee to the earth glory In thy downfall
And with complete and entire satisfaction do see
Thy blood poured out Thy blood no, mine, my darling
And that of him who sleeps in peace unconscious of thy
presence Pres g ,
suferings! you are not sufficiently sweet to attract them
yourself can you not wake up and help to battle them
Spirits of camphOr! thou avails't me naught,
Oft have tried thy boasted power and strength,
But it does MT make any difference with the kind of osqu
toes that fly around here.
Poets, bards, and rhymers, one and all
But of the night-youll find it will net pay
For nobody'n believe single werd you say.

OF the late William Palmer at Stafford and also been

The :" casts " were obtained from Liverpool, and

The honorable and cordial attentions paid to the
President of the United States during his Journey
east, and in numerous instances the afectionate re-
gard and enthusiastic greetings with which he has
been received are singing rebukes to those ruthless
! groveng factonists at Concord, n. H., and other
places, who endeavored to excite the popuace to acts
of insult toward the chief magistrate of the nation
The favorable impression produced upon the pub
| lie mind by the President wherever the people have
come in contact with him, has dspelled the clouds
of calumny which his unprincipled traducers had
raised to obscure his true character, and excited
strong and earnest action his favor which IS
following his whole path from Washington to Con-
cord. No chief magistrate has been more vely, un-
Justly misrepresented and belled than Gen. Pierce
but the day will when justice will be rem
dered his private and public character or tn page
of history and his record, as and magistrate,
stand forth of the proudest evidences OF
American patriotism, honor and craftsmanship.

How TO TREAT A CHALLENGE.-The late eccentric
