,be sorrowing ones—" She has been a good

They bear little else‘—and the pastor prays—
a touching:o4er far _these- lroken-bearted.
Then, there is a silence, and the lid or ttie
is•tfiti is raised, end they take " that last look,
so coveted, so hopeless, that the human heart
will claim on the verge of the grave."
'here are silver threads mingling in the

open grave, and the heavy clods fill on it.—
" Dust to dusty" the casket is gone tr;o!
They go slowly and sadly back -to that
low-roofed pottage, to their broken home.=
The father lingers a moment on the thresh

him in that doorway, a bride;, and he sees
again the hash of joy that lights - her fair,

left; and he sinks in a chair and sobs aloud.-
The daughter, true to her womanhood, hush

The son wanders off to `" mother's room.")
There is the low couch where ,she lay,and.he
rkileli by her side caressing hex' thin hand as
they talked as only mother and son can com
mune. There she lay when the death angel
dime, and he was kneeling by- her side, cling:,
ing vainly.to her hand, watching the shadow.,
ember face, and the fluttering lips, as the
breath' grew shorter ; and she smiled—and
was not ; for God took her.
It all conies back to him as be kneels there,
and with a crushed, desolate-feeling he busies
his face in thepillows, and moans—l! Mnth

the wailing echo, "Gone ! gone I' .
=By and by; the grass will glow green on
that and the myrtle cover it, and per
roses bloom there; and, at niehtfall,
when wearied and worn with life's cares and
trials the bereaved will come and lajr the
`aching heed on the low mound; and in those'
hours of sweet communion grow calm ; feel

Two country lads came early to a market
town, and arranging their little stands, sat
down to wait for customers. One was fur
nished with fruits and vegetables of the boy's
own .raining, and the other supplied with
Anna end 14. The market hours passed
along, and cant little merchant saw with
pleasure his store steadily decreasing I and
an equivalent in silver bits *Mining in his lit
tle _mute)! cup. -The last melon lay on
Harry's stand, when a 'gentleman came by,
and placing his hand upon it said : " What a
firm large meltin; I think I must have this
Pit int dinner: What do you ask for it, my
boy?' •
"The melonds the last i have, sir -and
thongh it looks very fair there is an unsound
spot on the other side," said the boy, turning
it over. ••
therbis," said the man ; "1 think I
bill ttoi talseßat," he added, lookidg in
to the boy's line cipett conntenence, " is it
very business-like to-point out the defetts of
your fruits to customers?" .
"It is better than being dishonest, sir,"
said the boy; modestly.
"You are right,. my little fellow ; always
remember that principle, . and you will find
favor with Clod, and man also. You have
ntalting else I wish fur this morning, but I
shall remember" ;troths little' stand -in future.
Are those clams fresh'" he continued, turn.
to Ben Wilson's stand.
" Yer, sir; fresh Ibis morning. I caught
them myseif," was the reply ; and a pUrclutse
being,made, the gentleman went away.
" Harry? whet a fool you was to show the
. ntleman that spbt In the melon. Now,
you can take it home for your pains, dr tlifow
it away. How much wiser is he about these
clams I caught, yesterday 1 Sold them for
the same price I did the fresh ones. He
Wrotild neler have looked at the melon until
be had gone away."
"Ben, would not tell , a lie f or act one
either, fort wice what 1 have earned this
morning. Besides I shall be better off in the
end, for I have gained a customer, and yon
have lost one." •
And so it proved, for the next day the gen
tleman bought nearly all bis fruit and vege
tables of Harry, but never invested another
penny at the stand of his neighbor. Thus
the season paned; the gentleman finding he
could always get a good article of Harry,con
tinually patronized him, and sometimes talk
ed with him about his future hopes and pros
pects. To become a merchant was his greitt
arhbition, and when the Winter came on, the
gentleman wanting a trusty boy for his store,
decided 'on giving the piece to Harry. Stead
ily and surely he advanced in the confidence
of his employer, until, haVing passed through.
various gradations of - clerkship, he became at
length an honored partner in the firm.
Our Fighting Edit.O.
THE "John Bull" newspaper, a high Tory
weekly, edited by Theodore Hook, frequent
ly indulged in offensive personalities in re
marking; on the conduct and character of pub.
lie men.' A military hero, who would per
sist in placibg himself eonspicuone before the
world's gaze, received a copious share of
What he considered malignant and libellous
abuse in the whops of the eaid " Bull."
His soldier's spirit resolved on revenge. An
officer,rufd ' a gentleman could not demean
bibisell by calling on a.hireling scribbler for
honorable satisfaction ; no : he would horse
whip the, miscreant in his own den to The
"Bull" should be taken by the horns! Don
ning his unifoym-, and, arming hirriself with a
huge chip, he called ht - the office of the - 44.-
per, and scarcely concealing his agitation,
quired.for the editor. Ire was inVited.by
clerk to takes seat in an inner room—be
complied. and was - kept waiting while the
clerk, who recognized the visitor, ran up and
informed the editorial responsibilities of his
name and evident purport. After an aggra
vating delay, which served considerably to
increase the ill-temper of the officer, the door
opened, and a coarse, rough-looking man,
OVer six feet in height, with a proportionate
breadth of shoulders, and armed with a ter
rific bludgeon, entered the room ; walking
up to the surprised and angry visitor, he
said, hi a voice of thunder—
,
" Are you the chap as wants to see me

Jar psfloclical ? What, apart from the ad
mirable enterprise exhibited in the purvey
ing, Li the quality of the fare fee which there
exists so vast an appetite ?
In the first place, as the prominent feature,
stories, novelettes, by fourth-rate . writers
who were comparatively obieure, command.
ing only limited and local reputations as
manufacturers of harmless literary inanity,
until Mr. Bonner advertised them into a ce
lebrity of winch, probably, not one of them
bad dreamed before the Ledger's appearance.
To have talked of Cobb's . pretensions as an
author then, would hate simply stamped the
talker, Wahine the age of twelve, as a very
simple person, and tne like, with scareely an
exception, applied to the entire Ledger corps.'
This, as generally asserted, as allowed until
quite recently, has been most perseveringly
and wrathflilly contested by Mr. Bonner.—
Me has trnmpeted his writers' merits edito
rially, paraded them before the public in en.
tire Doges of "magnificently monotonous"
advertisement, and in a word, championed
them through thick and thin—all of which
he had a perfect right to do, though we shall
say something as to his way of doing it pres
ently. Our business now lies with the Ledg
er literature. We shall discuss some of its
principal eharaeletiatim and as its proprietor
assumes high ground with respect to its shall
try him 'by the strong, simple standard of
honest common sense.
The writer heretofore alluded to.=-Cobb--
is the great gun of the Ledger. The an.
nogneement of s a new story from his pen, we
are informed, invariably sends up the circu
lation of the periodical some thouiands, and
our inquiries and observation of Ledges
readers and purchasers have contineed us
that., in their estimation, the lion. Edward
Everett is a very secondarxperson compared
with'the author of "the Gunmaker of Mos
cow." -Therefore we address ourself to him
in the first place; and as Ahat particular sto
ry is now being re-printed in order to supply
a demand which may justify Mr. Bonner in
his assertion that "the Rea bath bounds, but
it seems as if the popularity of this story had
none," we select it for critical examination.
Acknowledged as Cobb's crack production,
nothing can be fairer than to judge of his fit
entry pretensions by it.
W$ have perused carefully every word of
"The Gunmaker of Moscow," which, for.
tunatply, is not long. We find it to be
simply trash, with but a feeble echo of \Val
ter Sco tticism to commend it to- notice:—
Plot, conception of character, incident, style,
and execution are all the mpagerest, the
cheapest, and.mast conventional order. - At-
tempt at preserving-the unities of time,plaee,
and nationality, there is scarcely any. Yu!.
garities of diction, and the. clumsiest repeti.
tion of the same awkward forms of sentence
are prevalent. In short, the only praise that
can be honestly awarded is thatlhe rubbish
is harmless; pt least, no more harmful than
involving t h e sheer waste of time devoted to
its perusal.
Let us prove what wo assert by a brief
dissection-of the story. The hero of it is a
species of mild version of Scott's Henry
Smith,' the Cow Chromsof the Fair Maid of
Perth, living at Moscow iii.the time of Peter
the Greer; not the picturesque MOscow to
which Baya'rd Taylor has introduced us, but
' a verbally colorless capital, which, but for a
few forlorn names, as " Kremlin," " Salobo
do," etc., might be loatted in any part of the
globe, at any age and_ date ; not the Czar
Peter, that " strangest mixture of heroic vir
tue and brutish Samoiedic savagery," who
appears in Carlyle's pages, but a kind of fee,
ble Haroun Alraschid ; a "sort of mysteri
ous being," as Mr. Cobb's heroine Moroni-
eally ealls him, (we winder he did not spell
it "sorter 7 ") who, in accordan4 with tradi. I
tion; zoos masquerading about his capital as
afa monk, protecting, the good and punish;
ing evil-doers. Well, our gun-maker, a boil'
artisan who has travelled in Spain Cobb
knows the facilities welch existed for this in
Peter's time; now even nobles obtain permis
sion to absent themselves from the "holfsoil"
of Russia with difficulty,) our gunmaker is in
love; as_a_heco ought to be.. And the lady,
"a beautiful girl 'with nothing, of the aristo
crat- in her look," with "gentleness and' love"
constituting "the true elements of her soul,"
who "spurned that respect which - only. aims
at outward show, while the heart may -be
reeking with vilest sensualism," reciprocates
his passion, of course. Anil, equally of
conrse they have an enemy, an atrocious and
mercenary plotter against their happiness. in
the person of a nobleman of high position in
the Russian Empire. And, still more inev
itably, by the aid of 'the prowess of the gun
maker (who is challenged by and fights. a
duel with another nobleman,!) the constancy
of the lady and the omnipresence' of the
czar-rnonk, the wicked nobleman and his
agents are miserably - defeated, the lovers
happily united, vice punished, virtue trium
phant, and iiilfr. Sampson Brass remark;
all is happiness and joy."- Thus the story
closes.
In every line and • paragraph this produc
tion exhibits all the simplicity of ignorance.
Theatric rant, such as " What ho! there !
what ho ! without, I say !" alternates with
palpable American vulgarism., as "fix this
medicine," "I'll , fix that • matter with the
emperor," (!) " he struggled some ,"
_ etc. The
persons introduced possess but the shadow.
lest similitude to manysided humanity.—'
Eyery way it is the product hot of thought,
or sympathy; or observation, but of weak
and conventional, though perhaps neconscious
imitation.' What, then, constitutes its at
tractiens to two millions of read
ers? • We shall try to answer.
Firstly, there is a thin vein of gentle sem ,
-tinientality _running throughout the plot,
which always comthends itself to the multi-
tude, who like to have •their sympathies ex.
cited. • Then it is, to them, easy—deplorably
easy reading.: They are called upon to *do
-nothing but read, no.. necessity for coherent
thinking existing. Again, in Cobb they fee

they possess the limited amount of gramma{
and English necessary, to the performance.—
Hence a sensation of seltfiattery attends
the perusal ; unconsciously the reader finds
his opinion of his own judgmint strengthened
and his taste Complimented. Naturally,
therefore he will like the author who offers
him all this, though perhaps ho never troub
:les himself to think why. Add to which the
additional incitements of puffery and adver
t
usement, and the whole thing of accounted
for.
A similar .analysis of the rest of Mr.
Bonner's stock story-tellers„ with perhaps the
exception of Mrs. Southworth, would pro.
duce no more satisfactory resuita, • though the
majority of them show indications of talents,
of which Cobb is •wholly deficient. They
seem to possess popularity in inverse pro..
portion to tbfrir merits. But none are strong
enough to deserve,fiwther notice. We turn
to the essays and editorials, the poetry. the

we consider very objectionable characteris

less offensive contrivance than feature of

We now come to Mr. Everett's engage.
ment, a stroke of dashing and perfectly legit
imate advertising policy ; for who can Sup.
Pose that Mr. Bonner would, have paid the
sum added-to that begging.box infliction, the
Mount Vernon Fund, for such papers as our
E r s-U. S. Senator has .contributed, Without
the prestige of his name? That honorable
eentle.r.an certainly deserves credit for un
dertaking the task, and has evidently gone to
work with a conscientious attempt to please
and -instruct his unaemstomed audience.—
Unhappily-lie appears to have endeavored to
" w‘rite down" to its intellectual level, and
the effect is melancholy hi the extreme. Nor,
to the best of our belief, are the lover's of
Cobb at all delighted with Everett. They
would rather not have him, in fact. If they
read him, it is from a sense of duty, which
we can hardly wonder at, when we find them
addressed from the Mrs. Trimmer Atand
point.before alluded to. Cobb, inherently
one of themselves,: never troubles them' with
indefinable impres: , iions that they. are being
put to school. And hoiveser agreeable it
may be to be talked to by a great man, one
doesn't like his thrusting a horn-book under
one's nose. .We can fancy a disgustelLedy
er reader mutinying almost in the words of
the badgered brickmaker in " Bleak House"
to Mrs. Pardiggle : " Have I read the little
book wet you left? No, I an't read the little
book wet - you left. It's a book fit for a
babliy, and I'm not a bobby. If you was to
lease me a doll, I shouldiret Imes it!" Mr.
Bonner may yet find it necessary to civilly
bow Mr. Everett out of his columns; ; with
ell his desire to arrogate real literary merit
to them, he is yet too shrewd a,man of busi
ness not to retrace:what may prove a false
step. The addition of the name of the
Jmbassador to his list of contributors, ex
panded his circulation by two hundred thou

The President of the United States, 'with' a
party triumphant, a majority in both Houses
of Congress, came into power two years ago,
capable of dictating and of carrying through
alt his necessary measures of administration.

into his privSto purse, to be used as he shall
think fit, and in his discretion; in buying for

he thinks, under the smoke of, that fire, that
he shall escape the public reprobation which
awaits_ him. Theo, upon another day, he
comes into the Congress of the United States
and demands that they shall confer on . hit&
the war-making power, and authorize him at
his discretion, and for whatever cause he shall
think sufficient, to make war against all the
free Spanish States on thisecontinent, who
have never, in my humble judgement, com
