BRIGHT SPOTS.

There's not heath, however rude,
But hath some little flower
To brighten up its solitude,
And scent the evening hour;
There's not a heart, however cast
By grief and sorrow down,
But hath some memory Of the past
To love and call its own.

Knowledge,

Wisdom Of fitself is delightful, diffusing
a heavenly influence upon all who come
within its magic circle, presenting to the
mind all things in their true light en-.
abling US to detect truth from falsehood /;
driving away the spectres of delusive
fancy, and securing for US clear passage
down the stream of time.
We look upon this beautiful world,
and as we mark the progress of the arts
we are filled with wonder at the wisdom
Of man. He has made :he very elements
subservient to his will "hath clipped the
lightning's wings, and nerved it up for
purpose y" and the "iron horse" as it
speeds with the rapidity of lightning from
the rising to the setting of the sun, and
from the frozen regions of the north to
the more genial ones of the sunny south,
marks tho inventive genius and knowl-
edge of man.
The energetic man who starts in pur.
suit of knowledge is not satisfied with
merely tasting the drops as they fall from
the Persian spring he wishes to ascend
to the fountain head, and there drink
deep of its ambrosial sweets.
The pleasures Of knowledge are more
lasting than any other. Tne mind be-
comes tired Of the gay and deceitful
pleasures Of this world, and longs for
something more lasting--somethug that
will fill the soul with delight. To wha,
truer source can he 60 to find it than to
the fountain. of knowledge; and as he
studies the character of the good and
great, he is filled with delight. Then le,
us try to improve each Aeeting moment
and lay up rich stores Of knowledge fo'
future usefulness and the glory of ou'

and could not be seen at any distance. many
who turned out went back to their homes sup
posing that the first of April had something to
do with what they considered a false alarm.
The fire was not easily subdued by those who
found cut when it was. The buildings of
Amos L. Allen Esq, were in great danger and
had to be watched and wet down. The family
of Mr. Lewis were out of town, and he was
entirely alone in the house. He had hard
struggle to get at the fire which caught in the
partition walls of an upper room, through
some defect in the chimney. All of the furni-
ture OF the house was removed with considera.

ance. The Parsonage has been built but lew
years.. The fire consumed the larger part Of
the upper story, and damaged the building

and is popular and acceptable minister. The
society have already commenced repairs or

CITY CLERK.-As the validity of the recent
election of City Clerk has been questioned, 1t
may be well to call attention to the authority
of similar cases heretofore adjudcated, wnlcn
settles beyond question the correctness OF tue
Mayors ruling.
It is unnecessary TO repeat the statement OF
facts. as they are already well known to our
citizens. 1t is sufficient to say that % votes
were cast, when there were but q members
present and that Mr.. Robinson received 10 and
was declared elected.
In case in Massachusetts First Parish vs..
Sudbury & Stearns, q Pick. R. 154) the validi-
ty of parish election was called IN question
and the Court say:-"It is no objection to an
ele ction that illegal votes were thrown, unless
the illegal votes changed the majority. The
fact of their existence never avoids an cleo.
ton. This is SO plain a proposition that il
needs no authority to support it. 1t is the
principle adopted and acted upon in all cases
of contested election, whether in the British
Parliament. the Congress of the United States
the Legislature of this or any other of the
United States. The burden of proof, too, ii
always upon the person contesting the cleo
tion'
In another case, cited in the same opinion
the following language is used:-"The mere
circumstance that improper votes were re-
ceived will not vitiate the election If this
were otherwise hardly any election IN the
State could be sustained
The same principle has been approved in al
the later cases. Section Cushing's r. 80
and Gray 140, the latter case having been de
cided in 1857.
The ruling of Mayor Kingsbury was not onl.
precisely in accordance with the authority o
decided cases, and with parliamentary usage
but it will readily be perceived to be the onl!
| practicable rule under the circumstances, fo
if the opposite rule were established, it would
always be in the power of a few corrupt mel
to vitiate an election by casting illegal vote.

THE INTEREST BILL.-In our paragraph
concerning the interest bill yesterday we stat
Cd that it did not take effect till the 23d of
April. : The printed bill has no section declar-
ing that the act shall take effect when approx
cd, and members Of the Legislature had an
impression that no amendment was made to
that effect, but we have since learned that
such an amendment was made and that the
law took effect on the 18th of March when it
was approved. How and when the amend
ment was made we have not found anybody
that can tell. The three sections of the law
are IS follows: l
Section l.. In the absence of any agreement
in writing the legal rate of interest shall be six
per cent. per annum.
eectioa-2. All acts and parts Of acts incon-
slcsent herewith are hereby repealed

A Fraud upon Housekeepers

The success attending the sale Of Pyle's Dietitic
SSaleratus during the past ten years. has made it
staple article that is sold about close as -four
sugar. But among the grocerymen there are those
who resort to very disreputabe means to dissuade
their customers from the of this celebrated ar
tice, Tor the purpose of supplying something cheap
er, from which they derive larger profit. House
keepers do themselves great injustice by submitting
to such imposition, and incur the risk Of consuming
unwholesome ii not dangerous material, which,
though pleasing TO the eye, may be very unfit to
enter into our daily Bread.
Pyle's Saleratus is always put up in pound pack
