But forgot when by thy side.
That thou couldst mortal be-

That time would e'er be o'er
And on thee shouid-t look my last
And thou shouIdst smile no more.
And still upon chat face look,
And think Twill smile again:
And still the thought will not brook.
That must look in vain;
But when speak, thou dost not say
What thou meier left unsaid:
And nov ] feel rs well may,
Dear Mary, thou art dead.
If thou wouldst stay c'en as thou art,

And where thy smi!es have been.
While e'en thy cold bleak corpse have,
Thou soonest still my own;
But there lay thee in thy grave

TAKE IT COOL.-BY SOLITAIRE.

L.
Take it cool' is a very common piece of
advice, often gratuitously rendered to young
gentleman of warm temperament, when he is
about to tear his under garment; but the ad-
vice is often dsregarded, to the great detri-
ment of superficial surfaces, and the discolora-
ton of exposed parts of the humanface divine.
In the above mentioned case the advice might
be proftably followed, but there are circum..
stances which forbid the quiet and unmoved
contemplation of an approaching crisis: To
say to man who is seated in falling build
ing. take it cool,'' would be a mockery of
his situation, or to whisper to three hundred
passengers upon magnificent steamship, as
is running, with full head of steam, bows
on to the main land, TO possess themselves
of frigid state,' would be downright az.
gravation of their position. 1t is also sufficient
cause for hostile rencontre to grin at de-
feated candidate, and tell him to take i,
cool y but there are cases which, as a modern
romancer would say, in point of downright
provocation rise in sublime magnitude above
all these, and we will endeavor to make good
the assertion by presenting an example,

which, we regret to state, he decIn. Il cav

as ne says in his reply, and probably wou
have been defeated; but wefee. coutident, from
our knowledge OF his patriotism and his self
sacrificing disposition, that y you have t.
ken the field promptly, with tne DIGS greatly
against him as they are, but for circumstances;
entirely beyond his control.
Mr. Leaks letter is not only handsomely
written, bat it is repete with gooi sense and
sound doctrine, and it will arrest the attention
OF the thinking portion Of the Federal party
His views in relation to the RdyJternunder of
the last session, are just and philosophical ;
and his remarks upon the course Of the lead
ing FederalIsts in regard to the existing War,
will meet warm approval in the heart of ev-
cry true American. His letter will be read
with interest by men OF both parties, and we
commend it especially to the attention of our
brethren of the Democratic press.
