THE UNITED STATX3 INVITED TO BECOME 0E Or THE -POWERS - j: Th Journal dei Dcbats, of December "23, reviews at great length the last annual message of President Pierce, and takes oc casion to examine bur political situation. The Journal says in conclusion : . It would be advnntrgeoua for alTthf world that the American Union, the influ ence of which upon the definitive decision of tha European Cabinet, is not to bm con tested, should enter in an official and avow ed manner into the concert of th treat Powers, as it is a gre t Christian Power, Whose affairs cannot be separated anj fonger from those of Europe. It possesses, "Virtulljr at least, the condiiion of possess na? gre tnilitarjr means bjr land and sea. It has eertainlj'distinet interests ; but all the great Powers are iu the same condiiion Thn government which ho iiol apecial in terests will determined, with the material tneans to have them respecttd, would bjr that fact alone be a satellite. But the A--cnerican Union has great interests in corn coon with us. The daj when it would be official! recognized in the Congress of the Powers, the peace or the wcrld would have acquired another precious guarantee, and "would be sheltered from many accidents, for the Americans also it would be a wonderful benefit. If until now the have Temainded outside of the political insc tinirs Tield from time to lime by the governmenis of the civilized States, it is for reasons which hare ceased to exist. TheTJniied State were formerly leeble, without exter naraction, and at a great distance Now the are strong, their external action is more and more apparent, and by the in creased facilities of communication thej are but a feWdas distant from us. For themselves, their insular position, which tna seem engaging at first, h. reallj full of inconveniences which, at a certain mo ment might become perilous. POOR LITTLE WILLIE. It was a sad night : a wailing sin cine sorrowful night. The cold, bleak wind was storrmrg and raging merci lessly through the streets of tbe great city. It was late and in many homes, tender mothers were bending over lit tie beds, carefully.- arranging the warm coverlets over the little forms, and im printing kisses on the closed eyelids of the tiny sleepers. But there were oth er mothers, as tender and loving, who had just such treasures, little bodies with souls lately scut from tbe Great father, who heard that dreary wind, and answering it with sighs, looked with anguish on loved ones they could not shHrerfrotrrtw Wasto ' And that same cold wind, how it strove to enter those -plciided mansions; and failling, now it raged and stormed ; and haMing through narrow lanes and gloomy alleys, burst with a shriek of triumph into the miserable o'd tenement, with the broken windows and decaying blinds ! It burst in, rushed up and down the narrow creaking stairs, and at last by many a gaping hole, came with its cold damp breath into that dis nial room. There is a feeble fire there to receive it; and the little flames not vigorous, merry, little flames, but timid, blue, fainting ones slu.dder and almost ex pire at the rough salute of their visitor. A single candle, with its feeble glare, just makes the darkness visible; but thiw"ere too great a luxury were it not that, without its aid, ou weary worn a could not finish that dainty piece ol work, for which she hopes on the mor row, to obtain a pittance sufficient to sustain two sad lives la little longer in a world of misery. j On the straw, by the flickering fire is stretched the slight; form of a dying boy. The years of happy children are reckoned by Summers ; four winters might have passed over the lit ad ol this child of the poor-i-this only sou of a widowed mother. Hunger and cold had made sad havoc in that childish face; consumption had wasted the in fant form, and the weary-look, of one old in sorrow was stamped upon his youthful features. He had lain long in troubled sleep, moaning, as if even in dreams he were fighting the cares of life a new. Out now the lids slowly rise from the blue eves, and a feeble voice cries in imploring accents; Dear mother, I am so hungry. ' The mother pauses; tears blind her ejes. If her idolised child could but have nour ishing food and cordials, he might revive, and with returning strength resist the des troyer. But she know, and is wild with anguish at the thoughtj that she has no thing till she receives l the scanty reward for tha article on which she must toil all tha wearj night. She had labored long, but all; how wilt ngljr (would she coin her heart's blood as she meet the glance of those wishful ejes I But she tries 10 smile. Will, she sas, to-morrow I shII have money ; bright, beautiful money, and you hall not b hungry, j Tomorrow, dear Will, only , to-morrow, and r be tries' to smile again. i - Then Will repeats hopefully, To-mw-row, and cloeing hi ayes, again, wonders if .the Father in heaven heard htm when h prayed that morning; Give usthisdsy our dad bread. To-merrow, .how distant it seems to tha hungry child. Then, after while, when tbe boy sem. ed to sleep again, the mother paused in her weary work, and mourned with heavy eighs and groans of mortal anguish ; and the wind caught them, and hurrying away left them at ih window of a noble house The rich sleeper within started, and tbocght it was a Strang nigbiand the wind had a heavy uncomfortable sound. In the morning he would see to those shutters, and stop their dismal creaking. Why, it mide one think of , but ha had buried his head beneath the luxurious coverlet and forgotten all. And the mother wept on till her watchful ear caught the motion of her restless ct.ild, and then the wishful words: Is it to-morrow yet, mother? She clasped him in ber trembling arm but spoke not. Then the child serne! tr mbled. Strange, unmeaning worJsburt from hi lips ; but ever and anon he lisped. To-morrow, sometimes - inquiringly, and' then hopeful y, then mournfully. But this was soon over. The little" form grew quiet, and the mother, looking by that dim light, saw the beautiful spirit, so glorious in tbe large ees, that ahn knew it was ready to take us flight. There was a smile of recognition about the mouth, a worl I of love in the eyes, a whispered. To morrow, dear mother) anrt death opened the casket, while God received the jewel. The solemn bells with brazen tongues, tolled far and oaa h sqwro of the M&l tiight hour, and. Willey'a to-morrow bad begun; a never ending tomorrow bad dawned upon him gloriously in the better land. from tie Humors of FnUonbridge. THE PIGEON. EXPR.ESS. MAN In neariv all varn or plays in which Yankees figure, the are supposed to be 4a leetl tue darn'd ceute for almost any body else, creating a heap of fun, and coming out clean ahead; but that even Connecticut Yankees the cutest and aifiredest tight critters on th face of the veartk, when mo iter or trade's in Question are 'done now and then, upon the most scientific principles, we ure gotn to prove. It is generally known, in the newspaper world, that two or three Eastern men, a few years ago. started a paper in Philadel phia, upon the penny principle, and have since been rewarded as they deserved.--They were and are, o.en of great enterprise and liberality, as tar as t.netr business is concerned, and thereby they got ahead of all competition, and mad tneir pile. I he proprietors were always 'fly for any new dodge, by which they could keep the lead of things, and monopolize tbe news mar ket. The Telegraph bad not turned up" in the day of which we write the mails and now and then, express horse lines, were the media through which Great Excite ments I Alarming Events I I Great Fires and Avjml Calamities t ! were com at. 0 morning as one of these gentlemen was sitting in his office and a long lank genius, with a visage as hatchet faced keen as any Connecticut Yanks' on record, came in, and enquired of on of tbe clerks for the proprietors of that institution. Be ing pointed out, the thin man made a lean towards him. After getting close up, and twistir.g and screwing around his bead to that nobody was lis enuig or looking, the-Uwo- nan-t dawn very gingerly upon tbe extreme verge of a ch ir, and leaning forward until his razor made nose almost touched thai of the publisher, in a low, nns sal, anxious tone, says he, 'Air yeou one of the publishers of this paper?' 'I am s r.' 'Oh. yeou, sir!' said the visitor, again looking' suspiciously around and about him 'Did you ever hear tell of the Pigeon Ex press V he continued. The Pigeon Exre si echoed the pub lisher. 'Ya-a-s.

Precisely! that's a fact, that's a fiict,' the other responded, rising from his chair and pacing the floor, as though rather and decidedly lakm by the novelty and feasi bility of the opera ion. 'You'd have 'rn all, Mi.-tej, dead as mutton, by a Pigenn Express ' 'I like the ide; good, first rate f 'Can't be beat, noheow !' said the stranger.

'Yes, well r - 'Wa-all, yeou see the birds are put in a box, on the top of the bildin; for a spell, too git lb kang of things, and so on !' Yes, very well; go on. Then the birds ate put in a cage, th" trainer takes 'em in his wagon ten miles at first throws 'em up, and the birds go to the bildin.' Next da fifteen miles and so forth; yeou se?' 'Perfectly; I understand, now where can these birds b had 'Putting his thin lips close to th publish er's opening ears in a low, long- way, says anxious publisher. - - 'Like a book V the stranger responded 'Where are th birds t the publisher in quired. . . Tve got "eat down to tbt tavern, where -I'm stoppin.' 'Briny them up; let me se them; let m see them I Certainly. Mister, of course, responded tha Pigeon Express man, leaving th pre sence of tickled to dlh publisher, who paed hi office aa full of effervescence, asJ a jimmyjohn of sprue beer in dog days. About this time pigeons were being train ed, and in a few case, now and then, real ly did carry message for lottery tickets venders in Jersey City; to Philadelphia, Wil mington, and Baltimore; but these exploits rarely paid first cost,- and did not amount to much, although torn noise was made about th wonderful performance of certain Garner Pigeon. But th pr was to have a new impulse, astonish all creation and th rest of mankind, by Pigeon Ex- poos. The publisher's partner was in New York, fishing for novelties, and he deier inined to astonish him on his return hdm', by tde bird busiiers ! A coop ws fixed O" the ioj of the 'bildin,' as the great inventor of the expr'sh.u! suggested The wngou whs bought, tnd with tvo h mdred dollars in for funds, p " I over to th piiron ex press roan, who in tti roir of a few days, takes the bir la into his waon. to take ihem out some few miles, ihtew them up, and the publisher and a confidential frjend were to be on to, of the luldin,' looking out for them. They kept looking ! they saw some thing werry like a "whale, but a good deal like a first rate bad SellP The lajise of a lew iays was quite sufficient to conviticH the publisher that he had boi-n taken tu and done for regularly pinked up and done for, ujion the most approved and scientific principles Ulhr lh -ranmr-nf thirbae; ne inane nn ms mine ro pocKet the shave and keep shady, not even letting on to His partner," who in the course of the following week returned from Gotham evidently teeliug as fine aa silk, about something or other. - Well, what's new in Mew York got hold of anything lich T was the first interrogatory. 'Hi-i-sh ! close the door !' was the re ply, indicating something very import- ant on the tapis. So ; my dear fejfcow, I've got a con cern, now, that will put the sixpennies to steep as sound as rocks ! No. What hav yon started in Go tham?' Exactly. If you don't own up the corn, that the idea is grand' immense I'll .knock under.' Good! I'm glad particularly glad you've found something new and start ling,' responded .the other. Well, what is a .

' Haw ! haw ! haw !' and the publish ers roared under the force of the joke W hatcver became of the Pigeon, ex press man is not distinctly known; but he is supposed to have given up the bird business, and gone into the manu facture of wooly horses and cod liver oil.
