How we pass away the great and the
humble .' The brown pilot coat and glazed
eap of the gallant little Kane have paired
fir cvrr from our streets, and th uoble
man who wore them, it seems to us hut
yesterday, lives hut iu memory, aud the
hearts of those who kuctv hiui ; and i.ow
the stately form, and venerable presence
of th deceased Senator, is hid for ever
from the siyl.t of man. We can h.iidly
realize that tLo-e wo have kunwu so long,
ihould iosoon pass (r un our midst.
But these visitations hear nu permanent
lemons to the majority of men.
Two or three days ago, not sixty feet
from my door, two men fell through the
roof of an ice-vault belonging to th But
ler property, just now being taken dowu,
and iu an hour one was taken from the
ruins, a shapeless corpse ; I stepped across
to ask some of their fellow laborer-, who
were pursuing their work uuconeeriiedly,
about the acciucut. One " believed that
some one bad fallen through the roof," :
and another one, on the tame lot, " knew
that some fool would get hurt there," but
not cue seemed to care ; so familiar do
men become with violenee and death, they
stein to know when to look for them, and
they are passed over with an indifference
painful to think of. The great scramble
fur wealth, and tho uncontrolah'.e fever for
2uxliiitg things which distinguishes this
country par excellence fairly absorb
all the milk of human kindness we inherit,
and become the household deity wor- j
shiped with more than Mohammedan de-j
votion and constancy.
We Lave but one other trait that will ;
compare with this our extravagance ' In
our dress, and in our houses, and still
worse iu our business this is a distin
guishing feature, and one that ruins thou-!
eauds daily. An instance will suffice : On
the Butler estate, mentioned above, a
building is uuder contract, with only a
forty feet front, which is already leased to
L. 1. Levy & Co., for a yearly rent of'
Tirelte Thousand Jjollari and the taxes'
and yet a single sale to a private customer
will at times pay the expenses of the es
tablishment for the day. i
If this madness could only be confined
to those who have money to invest in it,
the objection would be less ; but unfortu- :
nately the disease in oontagious, and many .
a man is drawn into the fatal vortex, where
ho loses character and credit, and suffers
irretrievable ruin, who, under a better sys
tem would have reached, with half the
tJjrts it required to blast Lis peace and
his hopes, the very highest point in pros-:
perity. j

strength is wasted reduced by protracted '

My brief allusion to the l'o.-t Office, in
my fir.-t letter, appears to have wounded
some one, who flutters in the expiring
is-uc of the "Air"y as "M itHinburg." I
have not the paper by me, but the article
omitting lis useless, pointless, abusive
personalities summed up, reads fubstan-
No doubt, if Fremont had been elected
President, he would have given the Post
t iflW at .Mitilmburtr to some lady : but as
Buchanan is elected, we must have a hard
working, activ
Ilcmocratic voter iu that
ofliec.
Not a word can be Said against the com
petency of the lady proposed, the widow of
a through g 'iug Democrat. Nor can it
he denied that it would be pleasant to all
concerned, uud especially to women aud j
children, to deal with a kiud and intellig
ent aud (ympathizing lady. Nor yet can
it be denied that there are too few mcans
of proiituble employment open to females,
c-pecially in our older towns where they '
comprise a majority of the population.
I know not who "we" have agreed upon
to have tho Post Office, and so have not a
w rd or wish against him ; but as it is a

No doubt the young.chivalrous Fremont

just compliment ! And you say a certain

incapable of such a deed, and will have a
