Mr. Stanberpm Peroration The argument of the President's ConnKel in the impeachment trial were too lengthy for perusal by the general reader. yet there arc many passages which we would like to give place to. Among them is the closing part of Mr. S:anbery's brilliant address, which we give below : And, now, Senators, after the review of the Articles of Impcnehment, we are pre pared to form some idea of the name of this impeachment itself? Where, now, is the injury to any individual or to any officer of the I:or:eminent, brought about by the action of the President? Whether actuated by good motives or bud, no injury has fol lowed ; no public injury has suffered ; no dim has been changed, either rightfully or wrongfully; not an item of public jeop crty or public money has passed out of the custody of the law, or has been appropriated to impropper uses. Senators, was there ever a more abortive attempt to make a ease for impeachment of the President under the Constitutim ? This bantling of impeachment, from the first, showad few signs of vitality. There was never any real rir,, in it. It has been nursed by the 31nnagers with the greatest care, especially by that honorable Manager whose business it, was first to bring it to the notice of the Senate. lie dandled the bunt• ling in his arms with comminute skill. Be pinched its poor wan cheeks for some show of life, but even then it was too evident, that it was The nurse was skillful, but the subject, with all its tare wie, beyond his art. Long Arm this show of vitality vanished, and now here it lies, bereft of life, a shapeleat mass which gives no sign, scarcely a grim contortion the counterfeit resemblance of life under the galvanic touch of high party excitement. Hitherto, Senators, 1 have considered this ease in its legal aspects, and it seems to me that the argument may very well stop here, Whether there is of matter of fact in the case, adds greatly to the President's defence. Look through the proof adduced by the 3lannsgerm outside of the mere formal documentary exhibits. What. is there MR but the testimony as to the speeches ? What is there that has the slightest hearing upon the ease of the President, except what they have attempted to force into the case by the declaration of General Thomas. We have heard front the Managers, espe cially from that Manager who opened the MO on the part of the prosecution, many high-soundiug declarations of what they ea• peeled to prove. But what a total failure we have seen in the way of perlimnanee?

When nearly two years ego, he called me from the pursuits of profession al life to take a seat in his Cabinet, I an swered the call under a sense of public duty. I came bore almost a stranger to him and to every member in hit Cabinet except Mr. Stanton. We had been friends for many years. Senators, need I tell you that all my tendencies are conservative? You, Mr. Chief Justice, who have known me for th third of a century, can bare me witness.— Law, not arum, is my profession. From the moment that I was honored with a sea t in the Cabinet of Mr. 'Johnson, not a step was taken that did not come under my oh scrvation, not a word was said that escaped my attention. MI regarded him closely in Cabinet, and in still wore private and con fidential conversation. I saw him often tempted with bad advice. I know that evil aounsellors were more than once around him. 'observed him with the most intense enxiey. lint never, in word, in deed, in thought, in action, did I discover in that man anything but loyalty to the Constitution and the laws. Ile stood firm as a rock against all temple tion to abuse his own powers, or to exercise those which were not conferred upon him. Steadfast and self reliant in the midst of all difficulty, when dangers threatened, when temptations were strong, he only looked to the Constitution of his country and to the people. Yes. Senators, I have seen that man tried as few have been Hied. I have seen his con. fideru abused. I have seen him endure, flay after day, provocations such as few men have ever been called upon to meet. No man could have met them with more sub- lime patience. Sooner or later hewever, I knew the explosion must Porn% And when it did come, nay only wonder was that it had been so long belayed. Yes, Senators, with all his faults, the President has been more sinned against than sinning. Fear not then, I to acquit him. The Constitution of the country is as SailY in his hands from violence, as it was in the hands of Washington. lint if; Senator , . you condemn him, if you strip him of the robes of office, if' you degrade him to the utmost stretch of your power, mark the prophecy! The strong arms di the people will be about him. They will find a way to raise him from any &psi, to which you mayeensign him, and we shall live to see him redeemed, and to hear the I majestic voice of the peoplo :—Well done, I taithfu! servant, you shall have your re ward I But iF; Senators, as I cannot believe, but as has been boldly said with almost official sanction, your votes have been canvassed and the doom of the President is sealed, then let the judgment not be prnnonnefal in this Senate Chamber, not here, where our Manillas in the hour of our greatest peril, s in g le handed, met and baffled the enemies of the Republic ; not here, where he stood ti►ithl'ully among the faithless ; not here, where he fought the good light for the Union and the Constitution ; not in this Chamber, whose walls echo with that clarion voice that, in the days of greatest danger. ►a►rried hope and con►fort to many a des ponding he►rrt, strong as an army with ban• Hers. No, nut here. Seek out rather the darkest and gloomiest chamber in the sub terranean recesses of this capitol, whore the cheerful light of day never enters. There erect the altar and en►olate the victim. The Size of Ike Ark Infidels have objected to the size of the Ark ; have asserted that it is quite absurd to suppers that ever there could be a vowel constructed large enough to hold all the creatures, which must have been placid in it, with sufficient trod, it may be for six or twelve months—water for the fish, enrn and so on. Now we will take dimensions of the ark from the records of noses, and caleulate them on the lowest possible scale. There two definitions given to a cubit; one that is 1 8 inches or a foot and a half, and the other that is 30 inches. We will take it only at the lowest. Moses states that the ark was 800 cubits long ; this would make it 450 feet long, or about the length of St. Paul's Cathedral, in Loudon. The breadth he states to be 40 cubits ; we then have it 75 feet in breadth. Ile states it to be 30 cubits high ; so that it was 45 feet high.— In other words, it wages long Al St. Paul's Cathedral, nearly as broad, and half as high. The tonnage of the ark, according to com putation of modern carpenters, must have been 32,000 tons. The largest English ship (of a size unimaginable to those who have never seen it,) is 3.500 tons burthen ; so that the ark must have been equal to 26 firstrate ships of war, and if armed as such ships are, it would have contained be yond 18,000 men, and provisions for them IS months. Buffan has asserted, that all four-footed animals may be reduced to 250 pairs, and the birds to a still smaller num ber. On calculating, therefore, we shall find that the ark would have held more than five times the necessary number of creatures and more than five times the require quan tity of food to wait tin them twelve months. I== GOOD WAY OF COOKING ONIONS.-It is a good plan to boil onions in milk and wa ter ; it diminishes the strong taste of that vegetable. It is an ezoolkmt way of serv ing up onions to chop them after they are boiled, and put them in a stewmm, with a little bilk, buttor, salt, and popper, and let them stew about fifteen minutes. This gives them a line flavor, and they caw be served u very hot. A Good !Rory, They tell a story of how the Rev. Dr. Dethune—now dead—a wtt, a 'cholla and an eloquent divine—wee once put in a queer position by an intimate friend• The doctor at the time was settled over a congregation in Brooklin, and was very pop ular. A Connecticut congregation gave him a call, and "called" a thousand dollars per annum better than the Brooklyn people. But he had formed a strong attachment to his parishioners, and thinking that his sphere of service could net be changed to advantage, be was not tempted by an in crease of salary.• Bo he remained to the great delight of his people. All the doctor's parishioners were not saints. There were some sinners among them, chic why preach the gospel? Among the last was a jovial pew holder, fond of lush, and apt at all times to get more than he coulc conveniently carry. Neither was he particular at what time of day ho got drunk. lle suited hie inclination and bad no method in his cups. Bilkins—well, that was not his nam, but it will do—Bilking heard of the doctor's re fusal and he was delighted. In the very height of pleasure he crossed Fulton Ferry. carrying about a quart of brandy. Pr. Bethune crossed in the same boat, carrying an umbrella. The brandy eerier happened to catch sight of the umbrella carrier. and at once staggered toward him, exclaiming in his loudest tones. I low do you do, Mr. Berthune? Let me take your hie—hand, my dear sir-r-r II am proud to testify-yi-yi my respect for you, sir." nSpeak a little lower, sir, if you please, Mr. Bilkins," murmured Dr. Bethune. "Yeb-s4, sir I you've stood by our pulpit like a ►nan. Them nut-mug grinding, ham carving yankees wanted to take you away from us—offered you a thousand dollars more—did they ?" 13y this time the attention of the crowd was fixed on the couple. Dr. Berthune's fua►e was always florid, but now it wais on fire. llis interlocutor cautioned : "Our people have got to make up that thousand dollars—got to! If they don't I'll do it myself. Se•e-e if I don't." "But my dear sir," remonstrated the doctor, polio roles, speak a little lower.— You are Drawing—" "Yes-s P," interupted the other. "I know what you said. You spurned the offer. You said you wouldn't go, not an neh. You told them as good and pious clergymen ought to that you'd see 'em d-41 first." A Crntors S•ronv.—Not long ago one hundred and thirty guineas were found in an old well in Philadelphia. Samuel Mor ris writes to the rifteburg Comnirreial as follows : "There is no doubt that lam the only person living who knows anything about how that gold came there, or where it came from. And I feel lam only doing my duty when I disclose the facts of the ease, for the benefit of the present lucky on e.— The following statement was made to me by my father, Isaac Morris, who was born and raised in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and removed to Washington County in the year 1754, where he located on a farm. In the following year (1785) he hired a man to work on his lam, who had been n soldier in the British army during the revolution.-- This man disclosed the secret of stealing a purse from an officer (a messmate of his), while encamped outside of Philadelphia, (no doubt it is now the heart of the city), con taining one hundred and thirty guineas, and being fearful of detection, he secreted it in an open well, climbing down into the well and putting it in a crevice of the wall, above the water. Being ordered, a few days af terward, to march hastily, he left without having time to remove it, or, perhaps, he did not have any desire to carry it with him for he often declared he would like• to have the money, but he would never go to recov er it. lie, however, described the place so minutely that my father,being well nequain tml with the city and suburbs, knew the ex act location of the well. In the fall of 1799 he went to Philadelphia with a drove of hogs and, in company with his cousin, William West (a brother of Benjamin F. West, that world-renowned artist), proceed to the well fur the purpose of obtaing the bidden treas ure, but found that it had been planked over, and a pump put in the well. Fearing trouble, they came away without making the object of their visit known to the owner. Now, I have no hesitation in saying the gold that has been found ie the same that was stolen by that man, and conibased by him to my father." Cutts FOR Witoorma Covntt--Physi• cians, in Hartford, Conn„ have adopted with marked rumen a new method of treat ment for curing children afflicted with the whooping cough. The juvenile patient aro taken on a tour of inspection to the city gas works, and while intently engaged in witnessing the various processes employed in manufaeturing their evening's artificial. illumination supply, they breathe the not very pleasant air of the gas house. In .901110 way, not very clearly understood, the Mailing of this air is found to cure or greatly alleviate the oomplaint. This in- genious method of bonefitting the youth ful mind and body simultaneously has be come immensely popular in the place, the people at the gas works asserting that dur ing the last twelvemonth. no hies than three hundred cases have been experimentod up• tin, the results, generally, being of a most favorable character. A Politely, Adventure I the litr West. A Virginia City (Nevada) paper Rays: From a report to Surveyor-General Stafford, from A. J. Hatch, now Surveying in the Humboldt country, we cull from the:follow ing account of a fbreed march in ice, through tules, with a body of flames marching hard upon the party, leaping through the dry tops of the tube forest.. The communica tion is dated Lovelock's station, Big Mead owe, Humboldt county, March 3d : " While crossing the tube, on my way to the standard corner of the guide meridian, an incident occurred which I never shall for get. At the point where I crossed, the tube is about three miles wide, and the ice was about fourteen inches thick—rendering a safe bridge for mo and my party to pass over. I had entered the tube perhaps a mile, when two of our men, who were a short distance behind, very fuelieltly set fire to the tube and canebrake—the latter being some twelve or fifteen feet high. In a few moments a vast sheet of flame was roaring, high in the air, directly in our rear, the wind at the time being from the west. Thinking to outflank the fire fiend, I direct my driver to go north. We had not gone far in that direction when the wind chang ed from west to southwest. I directed the driver to go southeasterly. By this time matters began to look serious. The fire had extended its front considerably ; and seemed to be gaining upon us rapidly. The flames appeared almost overhead, and the coals and sparks fell around and upon us, • a shower of' fire. A fire in advance was, suggested, for the purpose of obtaining a burnt district to stop upon, but this, on ac count of the. changeable nature of the wind, I concluded to be injudicious, liable .o incur a new danger. I considered the flank movement the on ly one practicable. I climbed upon the high load of camp fixtures and bedding, when by standing up, I could see over the conekrake, and kept the driver upon the right course. Every man now seemed to realize his perilous position, and instinct ively put his shoulder to the wagon, which was fairly shoved upon the horses, but the faithful animals could go no faster than a walk through the thick matted tube and tall, stubborn canebrake. rpm' the horses de pended our safety. They were our " Mo ses," our only Means of escape from a terri ble death, for no man can make any pro gress through that infernal jungle, except in the trail of the horses and wagon. The few words spoken were as hollow as from the grave, and were scarcely audible above the roaring of the flames and the crackling tube and canebrake, as they were boated down by the horses and wagon : . The ex pression upon each countenance was that of perfect terror, but when the hope of es. cape had nearly expired in each boson, we suddenly and unexpectedly emerged from the tube into an open and clear field of ice, perfectly free and secure from danger, the red flames sweeping across our track at the time about one hundred and eighty feet in in our rear. This sudden transition from danger so imminent and terrible, to perfect safety, had a singular and amusing effect upon some of the party. Men who a few sec• mids before had been almost weeping with fear, now gave way to the wildest and most extravagant expressions of joy. Might tears glistened upon the cheeks of one, a hurrah from another, and one sanguine in dividual performed evolutions that would do honor to a professional gymnast. As for myself, I was glad wo had got out of the hullrushes. I crossed the llumboldt range about fire miles south of the fifth standard line, and whore no wagon had never crossed before. I knew I had a very rough time of it for about ten days. I spent two days in look ing for the corner, being about 'tine miles frome camp. Tut: bones of an enormous reptile of' the lizard family have been received from Kan -11119 by the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, to which they have been pre seined by the discoverer, Dr. Turner. ' The geolegists of the Academy are' buisy chise ling out the remains from the crystalised gypsum in which they were found embed ded. The back-bone has been cleared of .it's rocky ease, and the vertebra put togeth er, extends in length about thirty feet. With the head and tail it is believed to have been at lest fifty feet in length. Ilncror.—The following receipt is said to be worth a thousand dollars to every housekeeper: "Take one pound of sal soda and half a pound of um.lacked lime and put them in a gallon of water, boil twenty minutes, let it stand till cool, then drain off and put in a small Jug or jar. Soak your dirty clothes over night, or until they aro wet through, then wring them out, and rub on plenty of soap, and in one boiler of the clothes well covered with water, add one teacupful of the crashing fluid, boil half an hour briskly, then wash them thoroughly with one suds rinse, and your clothes will look better than by the old way of washing twice before cooling. This is an invaluable receipt, and every poor woman should try it."

The General lives in a tidy little cottage on Main Street, situated on an eminent* overlooking the Merrimac Valley and river, and a short quarter of a mile from the busi ness part of the town. His wife and chil dren are all deceased, and the declining years of his life are therefore spent in &soli tude only broken by the frequent visits of personal friends of whom he has very many. He does not keep house but boards with Mr. and Mrs. Williams, who furnish him with an elegant suit of rooms on the lower floor of their cottage mansion. His most inti mate personal friend is lion. Josiah Minot, President of the Concord Eillroaa and a prominent lawyer and Democratic politic ian. He has also a warm friend in the per son of Ira A. Eastman, his next door neigh bor, who, by the way, is also a prominent attorney and Democrat and at one time (during the War) came within five hundred votes of being Governor of New Hamp shire. Some years ago, Mr. Pierce purchased a charming building lot about a mile west of the Statehouse, in the direction of Mill vale, and laid the foundation of a large and beautiful homestead ; but while lie was in the midst of prosecuting these plans, which he had long had in view, his partner in life passed away, and he at once abandoned the whole enterprise, and what would have been undoubtedly one of the finest mansions in Concord is now a heap of decaying ma sonry. lie has, however, titmice little cot tage by the sea," in the vicinity known as Boar's Head, Bunton Beach, where he spends the summer months. Within a short time he has become a member of the Episcopal Church in Concord, of which he is a regular and devout attendant. Itluch of his time, when health permits, is devot ed to the poor, and it is most unquestiona bly true that he dispenses aid most liberally to all objects of charity which may come to his notice. He does not wait for a person in distress to apply, but learning of misery, ho searches for it personally, and extends sympathy and relief whenever it is needed, whether among the Anglo Saxon or sable race. In sodal life is the samt. kind and genial man that he was in Whits House, and while many despise and abuse him for his politi cal creed, there are few, if any, who wil, not defend him against any reproach that may be brought against him as a man, a philanthropist and an honest and practical Christian. In brief, he is as thorough a member of the human family as he is of the Democratic party. When not confined to his rooms by illness he makes a daily visit down town," and oceasienally ventured a few miles outside of Concord's limits to pass a day or two with* some old friend.— Cot.

We would rather learn the carpenter's and joiner's than any other, as it will oftener come into use on the farm. That farmer who understands this trade has many ad vantages over one who does not and has to run for a mechanic for every little job re quired to be done on a farm. Even if he work but a short time at the trade, say one season only, under a good master, he will find the knowledge of great benefit to him, many times. If a young man robust and healthy, has this trade in connection with a good practical education, sufficient to qual ify him as a teacher of a district school in the winter season, is about as good a start in life as any young man can have who is not furnished with a capital ready to his hand, and the rare faculty to know how to use IL An lowa orator, wishing to describe his opponent as a sonless man, said : I have heard that some person hold the .opinion that just at the precise moment idler one human being dies, that another is born, and the soul inters and animates the born. babe. Now I have made particular and ex tensive inquires concerning my opponent and I find that some hours before he drew death nobody died. Fellow citizens I will now leave you to draw the inference." A dilapidated old darkey in Montgomery, a.., while watching the monkeys in a menagerie in that city, spoke thusly : "Dew children got to much manse to come out of dat cage ; white men out dar tails off and set 'em to votin' and makin' constitewtions. = Kraatsalatt's wife discovered her old hen setting in the back yard, and "burst up her nest." soon after the poor woman 'came in much excited and said "My dear Kraataalatt, I took the eggs from 'Brownie,' and she has gone and sot onto an old meat axe."' "Let her set," said the bilious old fel low, •'if she sets on an axe maybe she'll hatchet." "Do you keep matches?" asked a would be wit, of a retail dealer. "Oh yes, all kinds," was the reply.

On Friday last, Ist inst., young mini was melted on the complaint' of a loving fair one whom he had failed to make his wi fe,after he had accomplished her ruin ; and on being informed by Justice Reeling that he would have to marry the girl.or go to jail, he reluctantly consented to what he deemed the lessei evil, and thereupon the nuptial tie that usually binds two willing hearts was performed by the bland magistrate. But our young hero was not to be let off so easi ly—ho "loved not wisely, bat Iwo well ;" and young lady No. 2 was not to be "cheat ed out of her man," as she expressed it, by such a proceeding. She therefore hunted him up got him away from her rival, and got renewed assurances of his "undying love." Although informed by, the magis trate that her laver was indeed and in truth a married man, she herring him off to the residence of a clergyman in Allowaystown, the following evening, where he again pa- Him' oil to be "a loving and faithful heaband until seperated by death."

All the parties lived almost within a stone's throw of each other, in the village of Allowaystown, and soon the double marriage was ventilated, to the delight of the gossips and scandal mon gers, and the disgust of all true-hearted and right-thinking persons. The youthful hus band of two wives, both living, was now in a fix—"oh, how happy would he be with eith er, were the other charmer far away !" But they kept close to hint, wife No. 2 hav ing possession, however ; and wife No. 1 tuakeing every effort to reclaim him. The law was invoked, but when the officer ap peared, the poor deluded victim of Lover's darts was non est, and is now a fugitive from Justice as well as his martial duties. We have the names of the parties, but withhold them in charity to the guilty, as well as the victims of misplaced confidence. A GOOD STORY ON BUTLER.—A Wash ington correspondent writes : There is a loose darkey about Williard's hotel named Tom. You can bribe Tom to do anything. The other day there wax a dinner given by a New York contractor, at which it was understood that Ben. Butler would be a guest. Some disloyal wag, with out the fear ofeongreas before him, got hold of Tom, feed him liberally, and put bias up to a piece of outrageous and treasonable tomfoolery. After the plates were served the host said, "That will do Tom, you can go." But Tom did not go. Observingtliat his orders were not obeyed, the contractor repeated, "I told you to go Tom, it' I want you. I will ring for you." Still Tom hung about the door and did not retire. At last, very much warmed at his contumacy' New York turned upon Eth iopia and said sternly, attracting the atten tion of the whole company, 'l've told you twice to leave the room, and by o—d I'll be obeyed. or put you out myself!"
