height. and the authorities seem so pow

the notorious blackguards of the city, upon
an editor in an omnibus. The latter shot the
rowdy in three places, successfully defending

warm stoves a decided luxury. Although We
will doubtless have some very pleasant wea-
ther during this and the next month, yet we
cannot but feel, that autumn is now .'even
at our DOORS and that the long and pleasant
reign of summer is over. Let US then bid
her farewell in the language of Tom Hooi;
Delightful summer then adieu
Till thou shalt visit US anew;
But who without regretful sigh
Can say adeu, and see thee fly?
Not he who ee'r hath felt thy power,
His JOY expanding like flower
That cometh after rain and SNOW,
Looks up at heaven. and learns to glow.

EX-PreSident Pierce.

This illustrious statesman has recently re-
turned to his country after an absence of
nearly two years on tour through Europe
His name occupies conspicuous place on the
list of ilustrious Statesmen, who have filed the
Office of Chief Magistrate of the Republic
When his maligners forgotten, his ad-
ministratiou will be regarded as an epoch in
the history of country, and model
worthy of the imitation of those who shall
hereafter be called to preside over our Nation
al affairs. When he adopted the Kansas
Nebraska Bill as an administration measure,
he encountered tornado of opposition and
calumny in the Northern States, which would
have appalled, any man not conscious that he
was upholding the right. He scorned the
abuse that was heaped on him. and by his
influence and example, infused confidence
into the breasts of the timid and faint hearted
Although all the New England States, inclu-
ding New Hampshire, his native State, al
once deserted him and arrayed themselves
under the Black Republican banner. yet he
stood firm. and never faltered for single
moment. The principle Unpopular sovereignty
owes more to him than any other man in the
country for its success. Without his endorse
ment and influence, the Kansas -Nebrask,
Bill, would have been hooted out of Congress
We of course do not know whether it i
Genl. Pierce's intention to hereafter take al
active part in politics, to spend the re
niaiuder of his days in retirement. Blu
whether in public or private life, he will al
ways be sure to command the appreciation an
esteem of the intelligent and patriotic portio
of his fellow countrymen.

it is desirable that l should define my position in
reference to the policy of repeating what is ia
miliarly termed the Three Mill Tax and being

"Elliot Family Marion Desmond" .'Never

Price S 90. From The Gazette
This, book deserves to be singled out and noted
as above the many novels which are published.
Both in structure and style it is entitled to the
name of art. 1t is tale of Domestic Life, re-
hearsing the interviewer histories of round OF
every day characters, and Its aim is to show the
folles of the too many, so called, passions ana
pleasures of fashionable life, touching in part
upon ground that properly belongs to the vast
domain of romance
The Bachelor Millionaire Uncle George, is a
character reminding us of the Brothers Cheerybe,
and although he teaches the ''sweet uses of Ad-
versity" with severe discipline it brings out the
true beauty of Character, and shows how few
there are who can go through The trials of every
day life, and in the end prove their constancy.
