BY WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY In tattered old slippers that toast at the bars, And a rugged old Jacket perfumed with cigars, Away from the world in its toll and its cares, I’vo d snug little kingdom up four pair of stairs. To mounl to this realm is a toll, to be sure, But the Are there is bright and the air rather purp And the view 1 behold on a sunshiny day Is grand, through the chimney pots over the way. This snug little chamber Is crammed in all nooks .With worthless old nlcknacks and silly old books, And foolish old odds and foolish old ends, Cracked bargains from brokers, cheap keepsakes from friends. Old armor, prints, pictures, pipes, china (all cracked), Old rickety tables, and chairs broken-backed; A two-penny treasure, wondrous to see; What matter? ’Ms pleasant to you, friend, and mo. No better divan need the Bultau require . Than the creaking old sola tnat basks by the fire; And his wonderful, surely, what music you get From the rickety, ramshackle, wheezy spinet.

Long, long, through tho hours, and the night, and the chimes, ... ' Hero wo talk of old books, and old friends, and old times; As we sit In tho fog made of rich Lataklo, This chamber is pleasant to you, friend, and mo. But of all.the cheap treasures that garnish my neat, .There’s cue that 1 love and cherish the best; . For the finest of coaches that’s padded with hair 1 never would change thee,'my cane-bottomed chair. ’TIs a bandy-legged, blgh-shouldorcd, worm-eat en seat, - With a creaking old back, and twisted old feet; But since tho fair morning when Fanny sat there, I bless thee and love thee, old caue-bottomed chair. If chairs have but feeling in holdlngsuch charms A thrill must have passed through your withered old arms; I looked and I longed; I wished jn despair;. J wished my self turned to a cane-bottomed chair. It was but a moment she sat In this place;. Sbo!d a scarf on her neck and a smile on her face! A smile on her face, and a rose in her hair, And she sat there and bloomed in my cane-bot tomed chair. / And oq I have valued my chair ever since, Like Iho shrine ot a saint, or the throne of a prince; Saint Fanny, my patroness sweet, I declare, The queen of my heart.ond my cane-bottomed chair. When the candles burn low, and the companys is gone,’ In the silence of night, as I sit hero alone—. I sit here alone', but we yet are a pair— My Fanny I see in my canc-botiomcd chair. She comes from the past and revisits my room; She looks as she then did, all beauty' and bloom. So smilling and tender, so fresh and so fair; And youejer she sits in my cahe-bottomed chair.

Listen. “Three years ago X,bad.Just beeu Jilt ed, and out of . money.'. That. doaeu’t soiiud lucky; but it was the prelude to the' beat of luck. I concluded.to go down, to Plymouth,-to my uncle’s bouse—partly! that t(ie tuuruiursof tbe sea might soothe: my Inward perturbation, and partly to save a mouth’s board;’ X stepped on board the early down 1 train. It was full of silly six o’clock passengers, mostly men. The sun was shining on the water, but the fog was bugging tbe banks, and clinging to the burnished surface of the tide, I suppose a poet could Uave made sqmethiug pret ty out ol the sight, but I only wrapped myself-closer in my overcoat, au,i look ed at it sulkily. After a while I gut lis tening to two men who sat behind me. ‘A pretty girl with a fortune isn’t al ways to be had for the asking., Oh, hut the girl isn’t asked, I take it.

They hud another fellow booked fur her, but ho died in Now Orleans of thji. yellow fever last fail. . “•Aud she’s never seen this Smith ?” “No, nor they either.' The aunts plot ted with Mr.Danbar, the guardian, and be picked Smith up tor them, opeued a correspondence; and got Ruse .to write a letter or two. Smith professes to be iu love with her letters, and her picture; but of course it’s the mouey—forty thou sand if she marries hbloresh’s seventeen.”. • “If the girl amounts to uuyti.iug, it’s a duced shame.” “She does amount to something. She has tbe making of a splendid wumuti' In her, nud nobody knows it, or,cares. They are bent only on saving the money for her. 11 she forfeits it, U goes to some pet charily of her crazy old grandfather’s. He was always an old tyrant, aud as ec centric as the d 1.” - “You know Smith?” “Duly by sight, but I know a chum of his, Burton, and got the story, with a copy of a letter of the girl’s. Xv’e seen her many a time down on the shore, al ways with her dragon aunts.” “Where’s the letter 7” “Iv’e got it here In my wallet. Now you know the right sort of a man won’t have thegirl's letter hawked about among: his associates. He let.Burtou take this copy, and Burton gave it to me. Lqt me see—this is it. Liston.” “Dear Mr. Smith.—My aums wish me to reply to your kind letter. X do not know what to say. Xam not accustomed! to writing to geullemeu, but X must tell, you that X was Surry to have Auut Sophy j send you that picture of me; X am not j near so pretty; it flutters me very much.: You are so handsome Chat you will want a beautiful wife; so I don’t think you ought to he deceived, X don’t want to be married; but my aunt says I must, on ac count ol tbe money; and perhaps it may' turn out ail right. X am very lonely, here. X would like to live In a large city, and; Auut Sophy Bays you would do every thing to please me. Have you any sisters? Will your mother like me?

Straws are the stems of wheat, rye, oats and barley. In order to wave to and fro in. the wind, and yet bear up the heads of grain,‘they must be both light and etrong. Lot us see bow lightness is Secured, They are all hollow, you see, like quills: and yet not hollow through the whole length, for every now ’ and then we find a knob or joint, which holds to brace up the sides, and makes them strong. The straw outside is hard and looks shiny, as ifit bad been polished. It is polished, and that keeps the weather and the in sects from it, besides adding to its strength. Polish 1 but where does it get polish ? God gave these plants power of drawing up through their roots, this gummy sort of varnish from the earth. It is not flint. There Ik nothing like'lt on the stem of the sweet pea or currant bush, because they do not need it. Rut does it not show God's wisdom and knowledge in giving this power to one plant, and withholding it .from others where it is not?

Ex-Prestdont Pierce—Remlo I licences. Thtt domestic sorrow that fell upon Mr. snd Mrs. Pierce, just before ids secession trtthe'presidency, blighted the only pros pect of enjoyment to which they looked forward in going to the seat of govern-, 'iuent. . • The Opening sentence of bis Inaugural Address contains an allusion to this afflic tion. ! ■ “My,Countrymen ; It is a relief to feel that no heart but my own cun know the I personal regret and bitter sorrow ov.er I which I have been borne to a position- so : suitable for others rather than desirable for myself.” : : A short time before they went on to | Washington, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce were! I riding out'kione near Boston, and Mrs. • Pierce said:. “0,. Franklin, is It not ' strange that perhaps the only two persons j luthe country who do - not want to, are! obliged to go there?” Mrs. Pierce was a lady of deep religious culture and earnest piety, daughter of Rev; Dr. Appleton, of Bowdoin College. . Mr. Pierce, after the afflicted death of his only sou ahd child-which was by arall-. road" accident,—was led to the cordial embrace of personal religion. This was , at the very beginning of bis Presidential . term. Ho ht once became a strict and cphflisient.observor of the Holy Sabbatti, 'Stlehdiug'public, worship regularly, re fußiiig tosbe company of attend to secular 'business'. The weekly religious lecture he" ’attended whenever it was possible, going ‘in ' quietly and taking a retired seat. ! ( Every morning the servants aud house : mold were assembled in the library of the I mansion, and he read the Scriptures and | prayed with them. He frequently invited ! 'clergymen to visit him, and whenever "one was there, he was made chaplain of the house, but otherwise, Mr. Fierce led ‘in the family devotions, and always in voked the divine blessing at table what ever guests were present. I spent a week at the White House ‘While Mr; Pierce was President. Usually ! half a dozen or more distinguished men— -1 Senators, Ministers, strangers, were guests at dinner. Mr. Fierce always cal led Upon me to ask the blessing. One day he didso himself, but immediately turned .to me and said : “I beg your pardon, ! ‘forgot for the moment.” It was pleasant to notice that the habit was so strong "upon him. “ Wines were on tile table and three or four glasses at every plate- but hie. He drunk nothing but water. In his early public life he hud a proclivity to the use or liquors,. which ht thoroughly con-, quefod and became a stern abstinent from Intoxlcating drlnks. '.One day he took mein to his bed-cham ber.,His bed was removed- a little way from the wall, and he sat down on the inside, while he removed a white curtain from behind a picture—the portrait of a beautiful boy ; his sou, his only son ; his sbhtbat was killed just as bet, was step ping into the highest office in the laud. “Vye wept together for some timo'in si lence, The picture told the whole tale of 'disappointment, sorrow, and mute com panionship. At length he said ; “All the compensation Mrs. Pierce aud I hud in looking forward to this place was In the future of this dear child , we thought of, him in these rooms, aud of our pleasures in his, and what he might bo in after lifebut when he was taken away, it was ail over; we would rather have gone any where else, than to come here.” ' Anotherday was his reception day, and be asked me to stand with him and assist "in receiving the guests. Just before 12— the hour of- reception—he called at my room and took, me to the "East Room, where we waited up and down until the doors should be thrown open to the pub lic.' I was thinking how proud andeuvla bie the position of a man who is the head, of a great nation—the Chief Magistrate of mlilibnapf prosperous aud happy peo ple ! As if he tyere divining my thoughts," ihe passed his arm over my shoulder, and, leaning upon me, said : “Alter all, the , man ,fyho preaches the Gospel and wins ‘tpen to heaven has the highest office on icartb.P »fi>Earely, if over, in this, or any other country, have I met a gentleman of more; refined aud cultivated manners, of more, and tender feelings, or of higher i.or better purposes. His gentle and as siduous attentions to his invalid wife were beautiful, blending the' father and the lover, and shown in public unir pri vate alike, the habit of his life. One little incident will illustrate the man. I was walking in Broadway with him, on the Babbath day some years after he was President, when a fast young man, driving a gay horse, came dashing along, and the horse was suddenly pulled up in consequence of the harness getting out of order. We stepped into the street; I took the horse by the head, the President adjusted the harness with ready skill, and the youth drove on with scarcely an expression of thanks. I said to Mr, Pierce: "That young man will never know that he was helped out of that by a President ortho United Btates.” He was a tine scholar, accomplished 10, hls rhetorlo, exceedingly happy in brief addresses, and, in conversation,-.easy, genial, humorous and agreeable. I say nothing of his political principles and of ficia. acts, because my associations with him were purely of a social aud religious nature and had no reference to public measures. Sympathy in a kindred sor row led to our acquaintance, ripened into friendship which,* I trust, will survive the grave and be renewed in heaven. — New Fork Obaerver.

As this seems to be the age, from the multitude of reformers in the ffeldj ju which the world is lo beset to fights gen erally, we have been move.i to sly a lew words fur those in w bum we feel a special interest. We come with an appeal fur young MEN, the nationV rising hope— those upon whose should'-rs will re'.-t the future burdens of Church and State. It is one of the most lamentable facts, that an immense number el the young men of this land are annually swept into eterni ty through the iullueuce and practice of dissipated and wicked habits. And it is au equally sad fact that this vast multi tude comes uut irum the offscourings and refuse of society, but is compose}! to an alarming extent of the best young.life of the republic. It has been said that death: loves a shining murkVtmtktruly the same can be said of vice uud immorality. The wily enemy ef souls is most curgfut in’ setting his foul suaies whine there is a -prospector entrapping a valuable'prize Upon every side strong young mail hood is falling a victim to the destroyer and uut only is this true, but vice, im-, morality aud corruption stalk glaringly through our hulls uf public legislation, and their vile inllueucea extend through the city, State and general governments, uud are roully sucking the iite-hloud of the great, free Government under Which we live. I Shall this state of affairs continue?— Must it continue ? - Cun nothing be done to stay this awful tide of destruction?— We think there is a remedy which',' If In dustriously applied, will at least mitigate the evil. Let tile hope of the future—the young meu of the land—be more zeal ously, kindly watched over, cared for, and encouraged to move ateadi'y and ir~ reaistably onward in the path of right. For the waul of this encouragement, very many valuable young lives are wasted. Wo are aware that young men are talked to, preached to, lectured, scolded, coaxed, entreated aud remonstrated with in re gard to Uie'ir ‘short-co in lugs, 1 their ‘fast goings,' their growing evil habits and their wrony-doiugs generally, as well as loved aud prayed for; but wbeu they strive, to the best ot their ability to straighten their crooked ways and walk in the paths of virtue and sobriety t how: many words of warm, hearty encourage ment are whispered like angel greetings' in their welcome ears? Ah, yea 1 how many ? For the one word of approbation the student receives from bis dignified superior, he’ r osives, perchance, ten 1 words of rebuke, censure or sarcastic rid icule.

My course as Attorney General has not been open to any Criticism that merits such a request, and I will not consent to submit to any indignity that has -been contrived by men who are hostile to me because 1 have served the party and the Governor with a fidelity that has frustrat ed their hostility to him and exposed their evil purpose. lam, etc. Benjamin Harris Brewster. • Erie, August 13, 1869.

Judge of boy. surprise this morning, unon reading in the' Observer, Mr* Co vode’s letter of July 30, to Mr. Brewster, in my humble judgment, a grave error has been committed. . Mr. Brewster's integrity and ability are elements too valuable to your admin istration, to be thus treated. Still, if from any cause, or from any purpose you wanted bia -resignation, it should have b-eu asked for by a different man, and in an oltoget her diflereu t way. I do not bow bow Mr. Brewster may feel in regard to treatment which cannot be considered any thing short ot inlamous;* and yet hia treatment has not been us cruel us my own, if you authorized Mr.; Covode to write such a letter, which I do not believe you could have done till 1. have better evidence tnan a newspaper article.

Notwith standing that I felt a sense of wrong m vour ueglect to muko a pub lie disclaimer of that letter, yet I submits ted quietly for the sake of the party and its cause, knowing well that any agitation of the subject on my part would involve you and peril your election.
