Henry T. Tuckerman's article ON Nathan.
iel Hawthorne, in Lippincotts Magazine. is
one of the best estimates OF the character and
writings of this remarkable man which we
have ever had-based upon not merely thor
ough familiarity with his writings, but also
keen appreciation of his sentiment and per-
sonal acquaintance of the man. The manner
OF his death is of peculiar interest, as associat-
ed with Hawthorne. lie had gone off upon
tavorite country jaunt with hfs old friend,
Franklin Pierce, who hoped to revive his
sinking strength in this way, and so Haw-
thorne died away from his home. at was af-
terward not unnatural surmise of his COM
panion that, with his curious introspection
and afftctionale nature, he may have gone ON
TINS journey with presentiment that it was
his last, and undertaken it for the express
purpose of avoiding the painful parting with
his family; like Sterne, preierring to die at an
inn. As they proceeded, Hawthorne seemed
to revive, but he had no appetite and little
strength; and when they reached the Warner
House, at Plymouth, where he was to pass
the night, he declined dinner. On the way
he asked his friend if he saw Thackeray when
in this country-that authors death had re-
Gently occurred-and Pierce, wishing to be-
guile the invalid into literary or personal
discussion which would divert his attention
from himself, replied to the inquiry, "Yes, /
saw him, and he said an extraordinary thing
to me-viz,, that your Biblical romance was
your bsst.n Instead of dwelling upon this
opinion of the famous satirist, however, Haw-
thorne's mind was evidently intent upon
Thackeray's recent departure, as he replied:
But there is another thing-we must all GO"
"Yes," acquesced his friend, "but not yet,
hope," as he tried to engage him in cheerful
talk until theii arrival at the inn but his mind
was evidently occupied with the idea of his
approaching dissolution, although there was
no apparent cause for immediate apprehen-
sion. "We must all co." he continued; s-and
if we could 60 without the agony and the
consciousness, what blessingw
Toward evening he was tempted to slight
repast, which he seemed to relish, and then
lay down upon a sofa and fell asleep. In two
hours his faithful companion awoke him and
said, 'You will be more comfortable in bed"
Il think so," he said, cheerfully. Assisted to
undress, he was soon in a tranquil sleep. 1t
was on the 10th of May, 1854, at three o'clock
in the morning, when his friend looked into
the room, which adjoined and communicated
with his own, and noticed that Hawthorne
had not moved from the posture assumed
when he first retired. Alarmed at this immo-
bility, he went and leaned over him, and
found he had ceased to breathe; neither tenn
pie nor heart responded to his touch. The
gifted thinker, the weird dreamer, the baffied
aspirant, the patient artist, to whom life had
been so deep mystery, so long struggle, so
pure trumph-Hawthorne was no more;
his spirit had passed quietly, unconsciously,
peacefully, as he had, few hours before,
prayed that it might.

KNOWLEDGE Is PowER.-The fact that
knowledge is power is very happily il
lustrated by an anecdote relating to an incl
dent that happened in Edinburg some few
years ago. A gentleman walking in the street
observed large crowd gathered round two
dogs. The larger one, a powerful mastiff, had
the smaller in his relentless grip. Every
effort had been made to loosen his hold, such
as Sitting his ears, and biting and pinching
his tail, but in vain. At length quiet, schol-
| arly-lookipg gentleman came up, and making
his way through the circle, asked to be allow
| ed to separate the combatants. Assent was
| given amid laughter and jeers, when, drawing
a snuff box from his pocket, he applied pinch
of the titillating powder to the mastiff's nose.
The effect was so great on the brute's olfacto-
ry Senses that he not only released bis hold,
but made off as fast as his legs could carry
him. The scholar was greeted with cheers,
but replied only, Gentlemen, have but Civ.

LITTLE BRoTHERs.-Sisters, do not turn
of your younger brothers as if they were al
ways in your way, and any service which they
might ask OF you were burden. Perhaps
the hour may come when, over a coffin that
looks strangely longer than you thought, and
over pale brow where often, half unwitting-
ly and perhaps with a petulant push, you
parted the hair, you bend with binding tears
and sobs that shake your very soul, while re-
mOrseful memory is busy with the bygone
hours. You will wish then that when he
came and asked you to help him in his play.
or to lift him on your lap because he was
tired, or take him out because he wanted TO
see, you had laid aside your book and made
the little heart glad.-Aikman's Life at
