gloomy state of affairs of our naton, he
used the following beautiful language:
This frenzy Of passion cannot last forev-
er. Reason must, sooner or later. resume
its sway. Those who think otherwise. il
has been beautifully said, forget that the
angty rapids of Niagara lead to the ex-
panse of Ontario 1t was an Eastern sage
who urged his master to have engraven IN
his signet ring, that it might BE- ever before
his eyes, in every vicissituJe Of prosperity
or adversely. "And this, too, shall pass
away" This year, or mex, year. or in a
few year,, or IN ten years reason will be
he ,rd and our party will triumph. But if
it should not come in our time, and if we
Of this generation must die ith our harness

rolled out without some modification in its
arrangement, which Mr. Bunny proceeded
t. make with good deal of architectural
skill, his movements being daily watched
by our informant. He first built up
breastwork of clay, sticks, nuishplls and
other rubbish at the mouth of his maga
zine, an inch or two high. and then filled

of mason work and another deposit of nuts.

Aurum Burning Fluid. "Aurum" is the
invention of q Muscatimc genius named
Evans, and is destined TO fill a want long
felt by those unblessed with gas, as it is
absolutely non-cx ,losive, perfectly clean,
emits no smoke and gives a seft and very
desirable light. When to these advantages
is added tho fact. that il is sold twenty five

Judge that nothing more is requisite to

No CoSsoILpArioN.-Relati to the ru-
mored consolidation Of the Merchants
Union with the T. s. Express Co, concern
ing which so much has been said for . few
weeks past, we have the authority of E. NJ
Cooper, ESQ, Superint endent Of the West
ern Division of the Merchants Uuion Ex-
press Co., at Chicago, that said rumors are
''only one Of the lodges Of the old express
companies to create a feeling Of dissatisfac
ton among the patrons Of tho Merchants
Union" Mr.. Cooper says further: "The
Merchants Union has not and will not be
consolidated With the United States or any
other express company while dollar re-
mains in the treasury Or we can cell on the
stockholders for support (if need bs) 10
support what is . permanent Institution. -
The old express companies may consolidate
with each other. but not With us.''
II Mr.. Cooper knows what he 10 talking
about, and ws think be ought to, then the
consolidation scheme seems to b q IN end.
We believe that the companies separate and
apart will give better satisfaction to the
pubic than in any other way. Healthy
competition Is the spice Of trade. Both
companies seem TO be doing healthy busi-
ness At reduced prices ofsransportation, and

solidation might lead 10 increased tariffs.
