From the n. Y. Examiner.
Mr.. MARCY ON THE SUMNER ASSAULT

Gov Marcy was always true to
his convictions on the slavery qucs-
ton. slavery is yours" said he to
Southern gentleman, who was en-
deavoring to commend theinstitution
10 his favor, "and you have the po-
litical right TO retain il as long rs you
please, and 10 estimate IL as bless
ing but we of the North want none
of it; TO us il would be an unmitiga-
tedcursc.'
Two weeks before he died, Gov.
Marcy had attended the Second Bap-
list Church in Rochester, and had
listened 10 the preaching of Rev
George Dana Bordman. He was
deeply interested in the sermon. and
was strikingly impressed by the
preacher himself From the sermon
and the preacher our conversation
turned 10 tho occasion Of Mr.. Board
mans leaving South Carolina, and 10
the assault of Mr.. Brooks upon Mr..
Sumner. "You can tell me nothing"
said he, softhe constituencies ofSouth-
ern gentlemen on that subject. But, -
he added, IL do not hesitate to give
them my views in full" Abiding TO
an interview with one Of them, who
justified the assault, he paused, stop
ped, 1--WE were walking in tho street,
and turning full towards me, he said
with emphasis, Il told him that II
another man was blackguard, il
gave me no right TO be a bully. You

The GRUMBLINd GIMLET.-Here is
n little fable, the moral of which will
occur to those who need il, and GER
tainly do them no harm: A gimlct
grow exceedingly disconnected with
its vocation; il envied all the other
tools, thinking scorn Of It's own mean
duty Of perpetual boring and picking
holes everywhere. The.saw and the
AK had grand work to do; the plane
got praise always; so did the chisel
for it's carving; and the happy ham
mer wa salways ringing merrilyupon
the clinging nail. But for Il, u wretch
cd, poking, paltry gimlet, its work
was hidden away, and tho little use IL
seemed TO be of, was all soon put 70
the credit Of that stout interloper the
nail. Howevr, little unsecn fairy,
lowering about the glue-pot, kindly
took occasion TO comfort poor gimlot,
rs thus:
els there one tool in the whole kit
Of them that our master, Mr.. Teak
makes more use of than Of your And
which of them can he forego less oasi.
| iyY (ior, of course, your brother, the
bradel is with you in this complaint,
Though every tool has its special ex
cellencc, still many of those you envy
might be superseded by neighbors.-
The AK will how down an oak pretty
nearly rs we'll as the saw will cut il
the adze will smooth away rough
nesses at least half as neatly as The
plano; the knife Gf our worshipiu
guide Of carpenters did not unreason,
ably repudiato such an instrument
could carve cornice better than the
chisel; but nothing would compcnsat,
for your absence; no, not even your
cousin the augur; for neither nail MOI
screw will hold after him. Be con.
tent; nay, moro, be happy. Though
your work seems mean and secret
though there is nothing OF outward
show, nothing of open praise, still, Q
gimlet, you are the most useful, and
therefore, Inced scarcely add, not the
least honorable Of the workman
tools. IL Is TO your good offices thai
he chiefly looks for conference with
out splitting; and TO your quiet inhu
ences, tho neatness, the solidity, tn,
comfort OF his structure may greatly
be ascribed."

PHILOSOPHY In CoURT.-Mr. Boy
den, civil engineer of Boston,
brought suit in the Supreme Court,
Of Massachusetts against the Atlantic
Cotton Mills of Lawraece. MIA. Boy
den had agreed to make turbine wa
ter-wheel for the Atlantic Mills,
which chould save, or "utilize,
as it is termed, seventy-six per cent,
of the water power; if he succeeded in
saving that per centage, he was to
have two thousand dollars; if not, he
was to have nothing; and for every
one per cent, above that, he was to
receive three hundred and fifty dol
lars. Mr. Boyden went TO work and
produced wheel which saved, as he
affirmed, ninety-s per cent. The
labor involved in this result may be
imagined, from the fact that Mr.. Boy
den spent moro than five thousand
dollars in the mere mathematical cal
culations. The company had prcvid-
cd no sufficient means of testing the
question practically, and rs the pei
ccntage claimed by Mr.. Boyden was
altogether unprecedented, they con.
tested the claim. The case went into
court. No jury could comprehend
the question, and the learned bench
found itself entirely ut fault. The
case was accordingly referred to three
well-chosen parties; Judge Joel Par.
ker, of Cambridge, Professor Benja-
min Pierce, the mathematician; and
James ID. Francis, the agent Of the
united companies Of Lowell, in the
management of the common water
power. Professor Parker furnished
the law, Mr.. Francis the practical
acquaintance with hydraulics, and
Professor Pierce the mathematical
knowledge. That learned geometer
had to dive deep and study long be.
fore the problem was settled. Bat
settled it was at last, and in Mr.. Boy.
den's favor, TO whom the referees
awarded the sum ofeighteen thousand
seven hundred dollars. Mr.. Boydcn
had previously constructed turbine
wheels that utilized respectively the
extraordinary amounts Of eighty-nine
and ninety per cent; the last wheel
utilizing ninety-six per cent, exceeds
anything of the kind that was ever
made. The wheel is one hundred and
four and three quarter inches in di
ameter.

like a circular or handful, enclosed in or
with a periodical or newspaper sent to a sub
scriber, or to any person, subjects the whole
package to letter postage; and whenever sub
ect to letter postage, from being sealed, or
from any cause whatever, all printed mat
ter, without exception, must be prepaid, or
excluded from the mail 1t is the duty of
the postmaster at the mailing office, as well
as at the office of delivery, carefully to ex-
anime all printed matter, in order to see that
it is charged with the proper rate of postage,
and to detect fraud At Offices where post
age stamps cannot be procured, postmasters
are authorized to receive money in prepay

The PAIRING Hour.

The hour is coming, and it is fearful
and solemn hour, even to the wisest and the
best--the hour is coming when we must bid
adieu to the scenes which please MS, to the
families We love, to the friends we esteem
Whether we think, or whether we think
not, that body which is now warm and ac,
tive with life shall be cold and motonless in
dcath-the countenance must be sileneed
the senses must be destroyed, the whole APP
pearance must be changed by the remorse-
less hand of our last enemy. We may ban
ish the remembrance of the weakness Of our
human nature, we may tremble at the pros
pect of dissolution; but our reluctance to re-
fleet upon it, and our attempts to drive it
from our recollection, are in vain. We know
that we are sentenced to die, and though we
sometimes succeed in casting off for sea-
son the conviction of this unwelcome truth,
we never can entirely remove it, The re-
Election haunts us still; it haunts us in soli-
tudo; it follows US into society, it lies down
with us at night--it awakens with us in the
morning The iwevocable doom has passed
Apon us, and too well we know it. 'sDust
thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return :"
