them out of their misery. There was a lady
going to meet her husband, with her daughter

Hunger the Best Sauce.

If our memory serves Us, We have seen George
Dawson, of the Albany Journal, al the Delevan
or Aston when he thought as much Of dinner
table Injuries as his neighbor, bu; hear him talk
away up in the woods on the John Brown tract,
about MAN wants but little" &c. Hear him
describe a fshing-dnner for instance:
at is wonderful how very few things are
really needfu TO our comfort Most Of our
wants are fictitious. No one of US ever ate a
DINER with greater relish than this that was ex-
temporised over a huge fire in the open air.
There were but few dishes-brook and lake
trout, potatoes, breai and tea;-but they were
admirably got up, and our appetites craved them
Our plates were of tin, and our tables and chairs
of whatever was convenient The Clergyman
chose hemlock stump, because Of the pleasant
odor which it emitted The Judge preferred
birch, for no other reason than because of it:
proximity to the frying-pan. The Cashier seat
ed himself, in the fashion of Turk, and had &
piece of hernlock bark for his platter. / select
ed the head Of the pickle keg, while Edward:
and Owen were content to sit on the ends of the
back log and to use their knees as supporters
for their tin plates.
"And there was silence for the space of ter
minutes. No gourmand was ever more Absorb
ed with his turtle and port than We with oul
trout and potatoes. Nor did ever turtle or por
fall more delectably upon the palate. There i
no sauce ike hunger, as there are few blessings
more to be coveted than an appetite and a full
larder. We had them all-plenty and a relisi
for it."

MARGARET FULLER's BROTHER DROWNED
We regret, exceedingly, to learn that Mr. Eu
gene Fuller, of this city, who was a passenger
on the steamship Empire City on her last trip,
was lost overheard before the vessel reached
Havana. The sad information was conveyed in
a letter on the 23d inst, from the officers of the
steamer, at Havana, to the agents here. Moth.
ing is known of when or how the accident took
place. Mr.. Fuller was missed, and the most
scrutnzing and general search gave no trace OF
him. He had been for some months in very
feeble heath, and We believe was not expected
to recover. Mr.. Fuller was for many years con
nected with the New Orleans press as a tele
graphic news and commercial reporter. His in.
dustry, reliability and intelligence were equa.ed
only by his invariably mild, correct and gentle
manly demeanor, and he was liked and respected
by all who knew him. Our own relations with
him. personal and on business, were always Of
the pleasantest character. Mr.. Fuller was d
brother of the celebrated Margaret Fuller
Countess dOsSOG. His fate strangely resembleC
hers-the Sea has claimed both brother and sis
ter.--Ne'c Orleans Picdyune
The deceased was a class-mate and intimate
friend of the editor Of this paper. He was
man Of fine literary taste, an accomplished must
clan, and possessed Of the highest order of socia
qualities.
