From the Pnrkertburg {Va.) Gazette, March 5. MILLARD FILLMORE. Yesterday MILLABD FILLXOB* was Pres Ident of the Republic. To-day he is a private citizeu. The change is not the result of insurgent revolution, but the

Jial

of well-

settled law. In other lands, the downfall of one dynasty and the establishment of anoth er could have been effected only at the price of war and bloodshed. Not so in ours.— Here the people will a clian?c of rulers, and the change is made. Mr. Fillmore quietly descends from his lofty position, Gen. Pieree takes his place, and the change is complete—the revolution is accomplished.

successful in the conduct of sffairs no one hss left the country more happy or prosperous.

Mr. Fillmore seems to have filled exastly the measure contemplated by the framers of our glorious Constitution—that wonderful instrument whose working is so perfect as almost to cast a doubt upon its human origin. He appears to have realized his true position. As President of the United States, he was st the head of the Executive Department of Government, and to that sphere he hss mainly limited the exercise of his power and influence. At all times, and in every emergency, he has been prompt and faithful in exectinp the laws as he found them, '•without fear, favor, or affection." He has thus made his mark high upon the post of duty, and it will require a rare combination of capacity and inclination to excel the standard of official deportment he leaves to 9iis successors. All honor to the retiring patriot and ststesman.

A HEN STORY.

MR. EDITOR:—About the first of December Isst, one of my hens, who had "stolen her nest," hatched a brood of ninecliickens, and as they made their appearance so late in the seaaon, it waa thought they had. a cheerless prospect before them, and if any of them survived the winter, it would be at tho sacrifice of sundry toes. But they had the run of an empty barn, with the rest of the fowl*, some thirty in number, it was •observed that one of the "roosters" very •complacently assisted dame partlet in coring for her family, and, as every husband should »be, was the principal purveyor for the little ones but after a few days, he retired from Iliis new vocation, and liis place was immediately supplied oy a hen, whose incessant care of her sister's chickens was only rivaled by tho mother herself. A friend, wanting some of my liens about this time, I included in the number I sent him, the volunteer mother, as I thought one hen was able •to take care of a brood of nine chickens ibut it appeared I waa out there, at least in the judgment of tho hetn forno sooner had the aforesaid supernumerary nurse made her exit, than there came forward another hen to supply her place, and both hens took mutual charge of their little family, in perfect har•mony, during the day, and at night sat close together, with the chickens under their •.wings.—iBoston

A jwnty of young men were dining at a public hhotiac, anil among sundry dishes scrvddmip for the occasion was a chicken .ToaaKkl. One of the gentlemen present made .an isnlfTectunl attempt to carve it, when he atoppdd suddenly and called for the landlord, 'Whu«vas in another part of tho room. "Landlord," said he, "you might have imade more monev with this chicken than by rserting it up in this way." •How so!" asked the landlord, staring. "Why, in taking it round the country to ^exhibit." -"Exhibit a chicken! Who would give *anything to see a chicken?" said mine host, ^getting riled.

We see in the English papers a curious anecdote of Wellington, quoted from the new Quarterly Review: "Seme years since, the duke was sitting at hia library table, when the door opened, and without any announcement, in stalked a figure of regularly ill omen. 'Who're you asked the duke, In hit short dry man* ner looking up, without the least change of countenance, upon the intruder. *1 am Anpolyon.' *\Vhat want!' *1 am aent to hill you.' 'Kill mel very odd:'—1 am Appolyoo, and I must put you to death." 'Bliged to do it to-day* *1 am not told the day or the hour, but I mnat do my mission/ 'Very Inconvenient—very busy—great many letters to write—call again, and write me word—1*11 be ready for you.' And the duke went on with Ins correspondence. The maniac., appalled probably by the stern, untnovable old man, backed out of the room, mad in half an hour was safe in bedlam."

DISTANCE TO THE SUN.—Imagine a railway from here to the sun. How many miles is the sun from us? Why, if we were to send baby in an express train, going incessantly a hundred miles an hour, without making any stoppages, the baby would grow to be a boy—the boy would grow to be a man—the man would grow old and die—without see-

Id grow old and die—without see

ing the sun, for it is distant more than a hundred years from us But what is this compared to Neptune's distance? Had Adam and Eve started by our railway, to go from Neptune to the sun, at the rate of fifty miles an hour, they would not have got there yet for Neptune in more than six thousand years from the centre of our system.—<Household Words>. ~~~~~~~
