New York upper-ten'lom is again in a
hubbub the current of Filth avenue is vio-
lently agitated; the old story is again to be
told; the daughter of the great man has
married her fathers favorite coachman. Mr..
j. G. B. is prominent importer Of wines,
and has fine villa out Of town, where he
spends his fine weather months. Mr.. J. G..
B. has an only daughter-"my charming
Mary Ann"-just two-and-twenty. Mr.. j.
G. B. has also coachman, red faced, round
headed, and with the sweetest brogue alive.
He waa very modest, too, for a Miiesian :;
but "oF, wasn't he the devil for the girls !"
Well, the sequel is soon told.- "John" and
"lny Mary Ann" got married. Old gentle
man very naturally gets. in towering rage
when lie hears it. Wants "Jehn" to go to
California, and shuts "MaryS Ann" up at
home, although she was welded wife and
twenty-five at that. "John? applies to JUS
tice Spencer for redress on Saturday. "John"
was assured that his wife should be restored
him. Mr.. Spencer at once drew up pe-
titon for q writ habeas corpus, and be-.
fore to-morrow's sun the romantic Bride
will doubtless be restored 10 her study hus.,
band.

ATTEND ro*Youn SIenr.-Sir David
Brewster, i'll the North British Review saws
that no opiuion is more common, and Ger
tainly noneEis more incorrect, than it is pru-
dent to avoid the nsc of artificial help to
the eye SO long as they are not absolutely
indispensable. The human eye is toos deli
cate structure to bear continued strain
without injury ;sand the true rule is to
commence the use Of glasses as soon as we
can see, better with them than without
them, and always employ such rs will rem
der vision most comfortable and pleasant
The spcctacles habitually used for ordinary
purposes may not be adequate to certain oc-
casional demands, such as reading very fine
.print, examining maps, &c. To meet
these casos hand-readng glass, two and
half inches in diameter, to be used in con-
junction with the spectacles and nsvor
without them, is strongly recommended;
A similar use Of the reading-glasses. is al
SO recommended to sliort-sighted persons,
in conjunction with thetconcave spectscles,
when examining minute objects.

LORD NApIER.-So,ne of the cockney
presses Of the North are going in ecstacies
over the "live lord" who has just landed
on our shores. lie is snch democratic
lord" and is content to sit at the same Ia
ble as common republican people, and he
gives every man, introduced to him, a hear
ty shake Of the hand, and say--"I am hap
py to see you, sir" And then, Lady Nap
ier is winning all hearts she is mot only
amiable but affable" Well this is most
delightful and exhilirating news. That a
British nobleman should condescend to re-
side at the capital Of this land of sovereigns,
and should even shake hands with the Up
per Ten Of New York, is social luxury, as
well as a practical blessing, which nobody
could have anticipated, and which misera-
ble democrats and publicans, that we all are,
ought to have received with uncovered heads,
and our lips in the dust. Of all the fun
keys and man-wors hippers on the face Of
the globe, outside of the little islands of
Great Britain, commend to us to the "free
and equal, teadies of New York Cockney-
ism. Lord Napier, is no doubt, worthy
and estimable gentleman, deserves respect
on his own account, and especial honor as
the Ambassador Of great and friendly
country; obsequiousness and servility, such
as have been manifested by portion OF the
press Of the Empire City, must inspire him
with any sentiments but those which we
should wish him TO entertain for America
and which the manliness, independence and
good sense of the vast majority Of our coun-
trymen undoubtedly deserve.

A PASTOR WELL PROVIDED Fon.-The
First Baptist Church in Philadelphia,
seems to be model one in noble and gener-
GUS feeling. Their pastor, Mr.. Cuthburt,
though young man, receives salary of
$4,000 per annum, which we are. inform
ed, ispaid monthly in advance. But this
is not all. On his Settlement, two years
ago, he was presented with pair Of mag
nificent and very costly mirrors and on
tie first day Of the present year,~ta purse
was sent him, Of $3.50, and'a fpiano was
presented 10 his wife costing, $3.50; Such
acts should be mentioned. In a.%pecuni-

The TESTIMONY OF AN OPPONENT
The Washington correspondence of the
New York Commercial Advertiser. allud-
to the late decision of the Supreme Court
Of tho United States in the Dred Scott
case, says:
"Words cannot adequately represent the
debt Of gratitude which both the departing
and incoming administrations feel towards
the Supreme Court for their decision in the
Missouri slave case. 1t supports the prin-
ciple upon which tho late administrations
acted, and the present one proposes.in the
inaugural address, to act upon. Attorney
General Cushing is particularly we'll pleas
ed: because he had occasion to give SINH
lar decision upon q case submitted to him by
the President year or two ago. Attor-
ney General Black is also gratifed; for
the reason that he is supported, by this opin-
ion Of the Supreme Court, in the decision
which he not long ago given in the Pass
moro Williamson case. Thisdecision set
ties the questions involved in it beyond fu-
ture dispute, so far as the legal and cous,i,
tutional points in the same are concerned
The political agitation ofthe question NAV

The bud is in the bough,
''And the leaf is in the bud,
And earth's beginning now
In her veins to feel the flood
Which moved by summers sun
In the :alembic of the vine,
From the founts shall overrun
In ruddy glsh of wine

Quickening in the gloom

And the juices meant to feed

OF the mystic changes wrought
In the silent dark profound;

And worlds support depends,
Upon the shooting of seed.

And this sunny-pinioned day

Whether winter holds her sway 90

With the myrtle on thy wing,
Say that floods and tempests cease
And the world is ripe for Spring.
Thou hast famed the sleeping earth
Till her dreams are oil of flowers,
And the waters look in mirth
From the overhanging bowers;
The summer tribes that creep,
Or in mir expand the wing,
Have started from their sleep
At the summons of the Spring.

To the valleys and the hills,

WHOLE NUMBER 2O3:
Presentation to ex-President Pierce.

A presentation Of plate to ex-President
Pierce by Senator Toombs, on the part Of
citizens of Savannah, Georgia, took place,
at l o'clock this morning at the residcnee
OF ex- Secretary Marcy, on Fifteenth street,
The plate (silvcr) consists of six heavy
pieces {dinner service,) richly chased and
ornamented and each bearing this inscrib-:-
ton; -. .,.
THE Democracy cfSavannah to Frank.
lin Pierce, President Of the United States d;
from 1853 to 1851"
The plate is from the well known estab.
lishment of Baily of Philadelphia. :
Senator Toom6s in addressing Gen.
Pierce asked his acceptance Of ibis gift on
the part Of citizens of Savannah, Georgia,
as slight testimonial Of their appreciation
of him as a man andSas public servant.
The time at which it was made showed
that it was untainted by any unworthy mo
tives, but it was simple contribution of
honest freemen tcstifying that while in Of
flee he had been faithful to the constitu-
tion. .
Mr. Toombs passed in concise but elo :.
quent review the memorable acts of the late
Administration, and congratulated Mr..
Pierce upon its successes already attained "
in its settlement of fierco sectional contro-
versles; in its presentation of the public
treasures by theinterposition of the Consti-
tutionai veto in its management of our
foreign relations, and mantainance of our
just rights abroad in having enlarged
our commerce, and added 70 our national
domain. He concluded witta beautiful
expressed wish for the future health and
happiness of Mr.. Pierce.
Gen. Pierce, in reply, expressed the sim
cere and earnest gratitude with which he
received these articles of beauty aud taste
from the citizens of Savannah, and he
cherished them as tokens Of friendship, hav-
ing value in this respect entirely beyond
their intrinsic worth, rich and splendid as
they were. He was aware of but one thing
that would have enhanced their. value, and
that would have been to have. received
them under the bright skies Of Georgia
and from the generous hands.of the given.
In alusion to the remark of Mr.. Toombs
in regard to the acts Of the late Admnis.z
tration he expressed the opinion that
though had passed through fearful
trial, better days were before us, and that
the bond of national Union. will prove to
have been strengthened and perfected, in
stead of weakened; Ly the series of acts
inaugurated by that Administration.
In conclusion, lie again expressed his
thanks to the people OF Georgia for their
beautiful gift.
Quite an assemblagc of ladies and gen
tIemen of prominence were present at the
presentation, among whom were ex-Secre-
taries Marcy and Guthrie, Secretary Cobb,
Senator Butler and Hon. Mr. Kett, of S.
c., Colonel Green, the veteran editor ofthc
