THE SECRET" noticed" said
Franklin, "a mechanic among a
number of others, at work on house,
erecting but a little way from my office,
who always appeared to be in a merry
humor, who had kind and cheerful
smile for every one he met. Let the
day be ever SO cold, gloomy or sun
less, a happy smile danced like sun
beam on his cheerful countenance.
Meeting him, one morning, / asked
him to tell me the secret Of his con-
slant happy flow of spirits. NO Sc

one of the best of wives, and when l
60 to work she always has a kind
word of encouragement for me, and
when l go home she meets me with a
smile and kiss, and then tea is sure
to be ready, and she has done so many
little things to please me- that l cannot
find it in my heart to speak an unkind
word to any body What influence,
then, has woman over the heart Of man

of cheerful and pure emotion Speak

QUERIES.

The Philadelphia Morning Post
puts the following relevant queries
concerning Impeachment:
Ifa President is never to be i'm
peached, pray why is there constitu-
tional provision for that extreme pro-
cess?
IfaPresident is to execute merely
those laws which may happen to suit
his convenience or to square with his
convictions, pray what is the use OF
having Congress at all?
fla President may with impunity
make the Secretary of War his mere
Creature, pray what Is the use Of hav-
ing a War Department at all, and
why not do its business in some back
office of the White House?
If President may create a War
Secretary or destroy the same officer
at his pleasure, what is to prevent his
dealing as he pleases with the whole
army?
And if with the army why not with
the Navy?
And if with the Navy, why not
with the Treasury?
And il with the Treasury, why not
with the State Department?
And if with the State Department,
why not with the Post Office?
And if with the Post Office, why
not with the Department of the Inter
ior?
And if with the Department of the
Interior, why not with the Attorney
General?
And if with the Attorney General,
why not with Tie Supreme Court?
And if with the Supreme Court,
why not with the Senate?
And if with the Senate, why not
with the House?
And if with the House, why not
with the voters in all the congressional
districts
Thus the President is impeached
because he has substantially claimed
supreme and irresponsible control over
the lives, and the liberties, and all the
POSSESSIONS of all the citizens Of this
Republic. The right to break our
law implies the right to void the Presi-
Dental rheum upon the whole statute
book-to imprison, hang, behead,
Danish, confscatc-to be the autocrat
of the whole land, with nobody to
question his authority or to dispute
his personal will.
So we end as we began;
/. Ts.a. President ever to be i'm
| peached? -
o. And if a President Is ever II BE-
impeached, why not Andrew John
SON? s ~ u -ie'

The Impeachment, Trial.

The Pittsbl'rgh Gasctte of the A'h.
says, The Senate having yesterday
notified the House of its readiness to
proceed with the trial of the President
it is expected that the managers will
take in the Articles to day, in which
case the Senate will tomorrow resolve
itself into High Court of lmpeaeh-
ment ard issue its summons TO tho
President to appear at it's bar on a day
to be fixed, either in person or by
counsel, and answer to the articles ex4
hibited. When he shall haze appear
ed in obedience to the summons, en-
tering a plee Of "guilty or mot gull
ty," a day will then be designated for
the commencement of the trial, which
wien so begun, will proceed from dag
to day Until its termination. The
summons will probably be issued forth
with, and the aptearance-daY may be
fixed for tomorrow, but after a plea
is entered, reasonable period will be
allowed to the President for the prep
aration Of his defense. The com
menccment of the trial should not
therefore be looked for before the next
week,

"Nyhat are you selling nuts ?" said
he.
"Ah, sir, I have been unfortunate" !"
"But this is no business for man

"Oh, sir, if you could only tell me
ofsomething better to do, returned the
barber, with asigh.
Burger was touched. He reflected
moment then tearing a leaf from
his memorandum book, he wrote for
few moments, and handed it to the
man, saying,
"Take this to a printing office, and

New YORK, March. "a fire
broke out about twelve o'clock last
night in Barnum's Museum, in the
portion occupied by Van Ambutgh's
Mehagerie. So rapidly did the flames
spread that it was found impossible to
save any of the larger animals. The
wells Of the animtls as the flames
reached them were appalling and
they bounded from side to side, or
darted madly against the bars in their
vain efforts to free themselves. A few
animals among them kangaroo,
small leopard, a few monkeys, together
with the pellicans, and other small
birds, were got out. The electrical
machine was also saved. On the
Mcrcer street side of the museum the
police and Others were more successful.
The giraffe, two camels, pair of ia
pancse hogs, Burmese cow, a llama,
and variety of small animals. Many
ofthem had narrow escapes, however,
and few were singed. The fremen
were at work at another fire on Spring
street, and when they arrived at the
buildingit was wrapped in flames, and
in short time theintetior wes burned
out, and adjoining buildings seriously
damaged, The side of the Prescott
House was On fire at one time, but
was saved by extraordinary exertions
The thieves in the confusion, man
aged to appropriate considerable
amount of property. Several specta-
tors were relieved of watches and
wallets.
The loss on the tnuseum and con
tents, including Van Amburgh's Me.
nagerie, will amount to FIVE hundred
thousand dollars insured, but tc
what amount could not be learned
The basement of $50, occupied as {
festaurant-loss of stock about two
thousand five hundred dollars ; in
sured. Several other parties los
heavily. All the people in the muse
um were saved, :
Another dispatch says the loss viii
be half a million, whichis only partial
ly covered by insurance. Mr.
Barnum's loss is very heavyin animal
and curiosities, and it is said that h
will not be able to start out his travel
ling menageries this summer. Som
of the more rare and valuable anirnal
; we're saved by the police and keeper:
but the gorilla was badly frightened
and is not expected to live. Th
flames illuminated the whole cit
throughout the night, and the freme,
/ suffered terribly from the effects Of tn
. cold. Quite a number had their limb
frozen and were removed 70 the sta
ton house for treatment. 1t is believ
ed that the museul took fire from
gas burner which was left lighted b
accident-probably not turned off ful
ly. The watclfman can give no othe
explanation of the origin Of this catas
trophe.
Felter's toy store on Spring stree
was burned last night. Loss thirt
thousand dollars.
Hamilton's cotton and waddin
factory, Brooklyn, was partially burr
