THE ORIGIN OF A TITLE.

Mir. James Gallagher is we'll known in this city, and throughout the State, as "the talented young Irishman" The origin of this title may not be generally known to our readers, and as it is of some interest just now, we propose to relate it, promising that all matters of the kind relating to public men are public matters /: therefore we violate no sanctuary" in its publication
 During the Pierce campaign of 1852, Sen ator Mallory of Florida, and the Hon. Col in M. Ingersoll and Mir. Gallagher, of this city, met at Stamford one evening to address the uuterrifed upon the political questions of the day. Mir. Mallory was to speak first, to be followed by Mr. Ingersoll, Mr. Galla- gher to close up the ball.
 Now Mir. Mallory had spoken with Mr. Ingersoll two or three times before, and had heard his speech time after time till he had learned it by heart. Stamford being a small place, and Mr. Mallory being per haps) short of ideas, besides being fond of a joke, he thought he would take Mir. I. down a peg or two, and he rattled off-horror of horrors to the Honorable gcntleman-his own speech
 Ingersoll and Gallagher sat back on the platform ard listened to the speech. "Gal- lagher," says Ingersoll, Ma|lory's giving my speech What shall do ?"

Ingersoll of New Ha- ven" was announced, that gentleman arose and said that he was himself so suddenly in. disposed as to be unable to speak, but he gave way with great pleasure, as he was to be followed by Mir.

THE GRAVEYARD AT WEST POINT

THE GRAVEYARD AT WEST POINT BY WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER. On this sweet Sabbath morning, let us wander
 From the loud music and the gay parade, Where sleeps the grave yard in it's silence wonder
 Deep in the mountain shade. There, side by side, the dark green cedars cluster Like sentries watching by that camp of Death There like an army's tents,with snow-white lustre The grave-stones gleam beneath. But, as we go, no posted guard or picket Stay our approach across the level grass, Nor hostile challenge at the simple wicket Through which our footsteps pass. Sweet spot, by Natures primal consecration, Sacred to peace and thought and calm repose, Well in thy breast that elder generation Their place of burial chose. And well, to-day, when e'er the sad procession Moves OCT the plain, with slow and measured Within thy silent and secure possession The living leave the dead Few are the graves, for here no populous city Feeds, with it's myriad lives, the hungry Fates While hourly funerals, led by grief or pity, Crowd through the open gates. Here death is rarer, yet full many a token Tells of his presence on these grassy slopes; The slab, the stone, the shaft, half reared and
 broken,
 Symbol of shattered hopes Here sleep brave men who, in the deadly quarrel Fought for their country, and their life blood
 poured,
 Above whose dust she carves the deathless laurel, Wreathng the victor's sword And here the young Cadet, in manly beauty, Borne from the tents which skirt those rocky
 banks, Called from life's daily drill and perilous duty To these unbroken ranks Here, too, the aged man. the wife. the maiden Together hushed, as on His faithful breast, Who cried "Comc hither all ye heavy laden, And l will give you rest!' And little grave-stones through the grass arc
 gleaming.
 Sown, like the lilies, over forms as fair, Of whom, to-day, what broken hearts are
 dreaming,
 Through Sabbath song and prayer. Peace to the sleepers! may the bud and blossom, Springs early bloom and Summers sweet
 increase, Fail not, while Nature, on her tender bosom, Folls them and whispers--peace! And here at last who could not rest contentcd :; Beneath-the River with it's tranquil flood, Around-the breezes of the morning, scented With odors from the wood Above-the eternal hills. their shadows blending With morn and noon and twilights deepening

THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
 THEIR LIVES ATTEMPTED.
 The great political contest of the day has at length reached point where Literature can exert an influence; and it is refreshing to observe the irreprcssible manner in which the biographical brigade is charging on that universe of accomplishing martyrs-the Reading World. No sooner is the name of new candidate for the Presidency flashed along the wires, than half-a-dozen frantic publishers announce rival editions of his :" life," and the whole civilized world is de- liriously entreated to "get the best" No less than six literary Lazaruses have offered the unhappy Abraham Lincoln sacrifice to the insatiate demon of Biography, each expecting to make good thing on Abra- hams osom as soon as he is in position to reward their pens-which, weak as they arc, cannot very we'll fail to be mightier than their swords. Poor Douglas and Bell have suffered in similar manner, and Brecken- ridge and Houston are in momentary expec- tation of the same calamity; yet their friends stand passively by and make no effort to avert the impending volumes. In fact, the incomprehensible public seem to have nat ural taste for Gives of great men," and we have good reason to believe that political biography is now the most remunerative ar ticle in the literary market. Authors of all grades find that it pays them better than any other description of fiction, and one of our own contributors has even gone so far as to send five Olives" to us, with the modest request that we will publish and advertise them as campaign documents" Their ex- treme brevity. when compared with other biographies, is such strong point in their favor that we herewith give them in full:
