For the True Democrat
THE DECEASED BRIDE

She brea,hes no more; her spirits fled,
Her eyes are closed in sleep;
Her name is numbered with the dead,
Her friends stand by and weep
But three short months since first gazd
Upon the lovely bride;
No gliltering jewels vainIy blazed
To feast he eye of pride
But clad in simple chaste attire,
In virtues garb arrayed
Who could behold, and not admire
Heavens gifts alone displayed
Tby friends were near with spirits light
Joining in social glee,-
All! little thought they that gay night
So soon of losing thee
Once happy bridegroom we'll may st thou
Indulgein sorrows tide;
Be comforted; thy lov'd one now
Becomes u heavenly bride
Receivd safely in the Sayior's fold,
The lamb no longer strays;
No longer wanders, drear and cold'
Thro' life's perplexing maze.
Coudst thou but fora moment see
That world of perfect bliss,
Tbor wouldst no. wish her back with thee
To such scene as this
That humble plant the Savior sought,
He watched that op'ning fowl
The fragrant gem to Heaven was brought
To bloom in Eden's bow'r

PoLTTIcAL GRATITUDE. There is no such
thing as political gratitude, in this exceedingly
enlightened age OF Of ours. In earlier days
times Of primitive hOnesiy-men were accus'
toned TO stand shoulder TO shoulder through
good report and evil. This was, however,
the era Of romante friendships, the Damon and
Pythias age, while the present is the calcula-
ting. selfish and enlightened age Friendship,
now to endure, must be tributary; heart must
nav the dollars and cents 1.-THE to heart 10 en-
sure continuance Of the miserable sycophan-
ey mis-called friendship.

unanimous acclaim; none were superior-his

heart gave prodigalty to the hand, and bun
drsds OF misereaats were exalted from deserved
obscuriiy by his generous beneiaciiOns He
asked but JUSTICE, in return. Too proud to
be a slave himself be scorned the sbleet hO-

termed caprcious aud lnconstant, and no doubt
Justly deserves the charge from the majority OF
mankind A man recently died in New
York, who was one of the few exceptions to
the capriciousness of fortune Eightyone
years ago he was picked up at sea, mere in
FAINT, floating buoyantly upon the surface as
though it were its native clement and untouch-
ed by houndering whale or longjawed shark.
He was adopted by benevolent sailor who
gave him the novel name Of Preserved Fish,
and, after the lapse of few years, secured him
employment on board a merchant vessel in the
capacity of cabin-boy. A few years more, and
he rated as seaman, and subsequently as master
of vessel of his own. But the ocean had
few attractions for him. After amassing a
fair capital by several successful voyages, he
founded in New York the late celebrated
firm of Fish & Grinnell He was frequently
elected to posts of honor and responsibility II
New York, was President of the Tradesma'
Bank, and possessed the influence and resPec
which virtue, integrity and benevolence mus
always command. He died in the slst yea
ofhis age, time, too, having dealt gently, D
permitting him a long life of prosperity an
happiness. Surely, hayward fortune mu

The political action of his life was his boast
the pride of the Democracy The same ge'
MUS was vigorous as in the earlier days OF Its
fame; age had only proved the incorruptIblll-
tv ofthe man. Who was more trustworthy
who more competent? None,-- but he dis,
dained to subsidize the friendship of the hun
ery small fry who feed upon the wealth of po-
litical men; who follow them as the shark
trails in the wake ofthe ship at sea laden with
the dying and the dead, or as the vulture and
the raven follow on slow wing the rear of an
army, awaiting the slaughter of the battle End
the fesh.ieast of the battlefield. Such was
the influence that mainly contributed to the de-
feat of McNuu; and more glorioos is he IN
defeat than he could have been in triumph,
when such spawnish allies were to have been
propitiated.
We call up these "reminiscences occasionally,
to keep fresh in the popular mind the devious
course of certain political gamesters whom a
concurrence ofaccidcn;s has thrown upon the
surface ofpoltical life to show how admirably
