THE OLD LOVE LETTERS.

They were treasured up and boarded,
One by one, and day by day;
Every letter bore its record
.OGlhc hours passed away.
They were gathered there in hundreds!
Telling still ofhopes and fears,
Breathing still the same deep tenderness,
They breathed in other years.
Some were solid and tatter'd fragments,
Joined with care where words were
torn
Some were crumblcd into atoms,
BY lnccssaDt readings worn.
There were others, fresh, but blistered
LittIe worn, for little read;
But on than the slIflened pages
Told of tears that had been shed.
And the ink had run IN places
Where hasly word was traced,
And phrase ofthoughtless bitterness
Was botled, stepped, defaced.
Yet all precious, and all priceless,
In their Fastening decay,
Where those loved and voiceIess witnesses
OF hours passed away.

The price Of tho Democratic Review
has heretofore been too hgh-not Tor It's
size, cost, aad character, but for the
means of tens Of thousands of readers
who would be glad to receive it, and a"
mong whom it is highly desirable that It
should circulate. For the purpose, there
fore, oflargely widening the range OF It's
usefulness and Of multiplying the num-
bers of those to whom it may be accessible,
| it has been determined, simultaneously
with the great reduction in the expense Of
the postage, to reduce its subscription
price also, from FicG to only Three dol
lars; and when several unite in sobscrp.
ton, 10 as low as $3.50, or even 2,3O per
annum.
This very large reduction in the re-
CENTS accompanied with but compar-
atiyely small elimination Of ITS cx-
pcnses) involves, OF course, an entire sac
ridce Of profit upon it, unless compensate
ed by vast multiplication of It's subscrib-
ers. There will be at the outset only a
small reduction IN its number Of pages;
soon to be restored to be restored to It's
old number, without increase of price,
when the anticipated success Of the eX-
pertinent shall justify it.
The Portraits of Distinguished Demo-
Gratis will be acknowledgement in bet
ter and more costly style than heretofore
The postage will heater, for any dis
lance, be only fire and half ccntS; 1t has
heretofore been, for over 100 miles, cigh-
teen cents.
We look for an extension of circulation
to by tens Of thousands, as the result, and
compensation of This great reduction OF
price. Every lrieLd of the work, of the
Democratic principles aud cause, is con
iden,ly appealed to to exert himself with
an active interest to procure II subscribers,
both to extend its usefulness, and to carry
It successfully through the crisis Of this
great reduction Of lis receipts.

DEVOTION.

With rapture glowing in his eye
a youth bends low at Beauty's shrine,
And offers up his (ervent prayer,
Glove, am thine, forever thine
But slerner dreams his manhood brings
And Glory is his mistress now;
His hand hath grasped the gIitIering swor
The helmet CLEANS upon his brow.
The sword lies rusling in its sheath;
Where the helmet, Iaurels Irvine;
And still the !earring spirit cries,
Fame, | am thine, ftrever thine
Those lights Hume no more his way;
Forsakcn are the paths he trod,
a carcworn man hath bowed him down
Before the altar Of his God.
| bring to thee for peace and rest,
My God, this weary heart Of mine,
And mourn 1t hath not always been
Forever thine, forever thine"
THE SEASON.
BY T. uO0D.
Summers gone and over!
Fogs are falling down;
And with russell tinges,
Anlumn's doing brown.
Boughs are daily rined
BY the gusry thieves,
And the Book of Nature,
Getleth short Of leaves.
Round the tops Of houses,
Swallows as they flint,
Give like yearly tenants,
Notices to quit.
Skies are tickle temper,
Weep by turns and laugh
Night and day together,
Taking half and half.
So September ende,h-
Cold and perverse--
But the months that follow,
Sure will pinch US worse.
