The TrJle Talk,

In the course of Senator Dickinsons able speech
at the Convention in Rome, last month, he re.
marked as follows;
A minority position has no tcnors to a true
Democrat He wishes not to succeed if he must
leave his principles behind him. Our Whjg
friends can be anything, and no'biog-.aycry
men in one place, and anti slavery in another, and
no men at all in a third, And it is Just as well
for them, They are made up of listing, shreds
and patches They can have as many sorts of
doctrine in their creed as a turtle has Of meat
But the Democratic party is catholic party, hav-
ing for its guidance pure, well defined and set
tied principle, leaving ali else to individual opin
ion. And what has it done Look over the
surface OF the broad Union and see. From thr-
teen States, the Democratic party, by its wise pro-
glessIye policy, in spite Of Wing opposition, has
given us thirty, and territory enough for nearly
as many more. 1t has not been able TO eradicate
from It's soil the British institution of slavery ;nor
could it do it with safety to either North or South
now, if it had the power. But it has been able
to give the freedom Of sclf.goyenment to mil
lions of human beings, and has opened the way
through which the oppressed Of the whole earth
may come and repose under the shadow of the
tree of liberty, and partake Of its fruits. So
much the Democratic party has already. 1t has
had before this its divisions and reverscs But
stand here to-day in the spirit of Democracy,
toinyoke every one, whether here or elsewhere
in the popuLous city or in the log hut beyond the
mountains-to come up to the support of De-
mocracy-honcst, iron, unyielding Democracy
and, laying aside aon-essenaIs, to take the great
cardinal principles of early faith, and with them
march forward to victory"

Uncertainty Of Life.

There is kind Of warning voice nv which
"'' anon we are summoned to reflect upon the
oIe'lIy and uncertainty Of human existence
0cehes witnessed from time to time awaken
thoughts OF our mortality, and cvince that in life
we are IN the midst Of death-lhat unperceiyed
| by us the entrance to its vale NAV lie near our
uoor' yet unconscious frequently of our near
approach to that bourne from which none ever
return, mlngIIng with the busy throng, we pass
along merrlIy in the journey Of life In the
"day5prlng of our being" when the heart beats
nigh with hope, fancy pictures years Of coming
pleasure How often illusory How changing
and uncertain is human life even as the tender
Hover that springs up by the pathway which the
wind passing Ger perchance may cause to wiher
and die, 1t was but yesterday that one in man
hoods prime, lived, who talked much of yenera-
bic old age, and ever thought his journey would
be long noI even dIeamed his end so near; but
to-day he Is no more. Trembling under the
weight Of years, the aged man yerges near the
tomb; yet many blooming youth, whose plans
for maturer years were laid, and whose homes Of
luture life were bright, enters before him. They
whom we least expect are perhaps the first COM
PEELED to yield to deaths mandate. see al a
little distance one who long wasted by disease,
was apparently near the grave. Friends in the
ylgor OF youth and blooming with health stood
beside the loved one and as they gazed upon the
pale and emaciated form, heard them say, "She
Will not live beyond the falling of the leaf" But
strange to tell, the hand of the DESTROYER was
stad; and the sick one hoped of recovering
again Soon the arrows of death were pointed
at those youthful hearts, sOd in all their beauty
they became its victims. Years passed away--
Though they long since have mouldercd back TO
dust, she, animated with hope, fingers, and tells
the mournul tale Of their departure. How m,s.
terous is the mission of death
" The youth in lile's green spring, and he who /,
In the strength of years, matron and maid,
The bow'd with age, and in(an. in ITS smiles,
Shall, one by one, be gathered TO the tomb
So like, that when thy summons comes to Join
The innumerable carVan that moves
That thou, sustained and Soothed, approach thy
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery OF his couch
About him, and lies downto pleasant dreams"

BOOMSBURG COLU MBA NUTa1R

And, to us, the whole evening was a SC.
ries of triumphs, Somehow or other, Amy
was by our side, and Amy's hand in ours
oftenest of any. We did not talk much.
delicious feeling sealed our lips. 1t was
our first, sweet dream of love. But we
knew little then of human nature, and less
OF woman's human nature. And at little
of all this knew certain young man, who
was present,and who, more sober and silent
than any, joined in the sports ofthe evening,
but with no apparent zest. Amy never
called him out when she was on the floor !;
nor did he mention her name when the priv
ilege of touching some maidcn's lips with
his own was assigned him.
He was first to retire; and then we no.
ticed change in Amy. Her voice was
lower, her manner more subdued, and there
was a thoughtful, absent expression ir her
face.
A few weeks later, and this was all ex.
planned. Edward Martin was announced
in the village as Amy's accepted lover
We did not we could not we would not,
accredlt the fact. 1t was impossible -

The Destiny Of Youth,

FROM THE BOSTON OLIVE BRANCH.
OFT hath il been my lot to scan,
. The youths resemblance to the man,
In every waywaId phase;
Aud Oft, at night, the school.room door,
In thoughtful mood I've stood before,
To mark their different ways,
In all their noisy, careless glce,
From school restraint and rhraidom free,
The romping urchins come
Thoughtful and light, sedate and gay,
Each one pursues his usual way,
With varied action, home.
Here goes preacher, there judge,
While at their heels doth bolus trudge,
With pill concocting look
A merchant and mechanic next,
BY weights and measures quite perplexcd,
In calculating book.
Here doth future statesman pass,
Now undis,inguished from the mass,
And careless as the rest
And there clown with noisy pranks,
For which the traveller seldom thanks,
With wisdom walks abreast
These are the men that soon shall guide,
O'er times resisleSs changelul tide,
Our noble ship Of state,
And on the trainings Of these minds,
The stern fixed law OF heaven binds,
Our honored country's fate.
God Of our stern and faithful sires,
Rekndle thou the altar fires,
In Freedoms sacred flame;
Our future stalesmen's youthful days,
Guide thou in wisdom's narrow ways,
Or else our hope is vain.
Let their ambition be to gain,
The need of truth--nor yet in vain
Let them their hopes embark
Eut still to bless them, still to guide,
Mayst thou be present at their side,
Through every trial dark. T.. I +.

Fling out the nations stripes and stars
The glorious standard Of the free
The banner borne through Freedoms wars
The hallow'd gem of Liberty;
On mountain top, in valley deep,
Wherever dwell the free and brave,
Wherever Freedoms martyrs sleep,
Columbla's flag must freely wave.
Raise high the bright, anspicious nag
From every height and lonely glen,
In forest, dell, on jutting crag,
Afar among the baunts Of men.
That sparkling banner, wildly flung,
Shall freely wave DER land and sea,
And Freedoms anthem, sweetly sung,
Shall swell our country's jubilee.
O! let the world that flag behold
That emblem of the brave and free;
The brightest crown Of streaming gold,
That decks the goddess Liberty.
Spread out lis folds till heavens dome
Reyerbera es the holy sound,
That all Oppressed have found a home
On Freedoms consccrated ground,
Unfurl that spanged flag of wars
And let il float along the skies,
Untl frceman'5 bleeding scars
Shall bid an angry nation rise.
Then let its tints, its gorgeous folds,
Bedazzle hosts in battle driven
Till victory's eagle proudly holds
The glittering ensign up to heaven

Effects OF Kindness,

Isaac Hooper, who was member Of the
Friends Society in Philadelphia, once heard a
colored man, painter, by the name Of Cain, a
hardened wretch, using prolane language and
most houid oaths, while engaged in a street fight +;
and supposng persuasion would have no effect on
him, he took him before q uagstrae who fncd
him for blasphemy Twenty years after, Isaac
met Cain while travelling, and observed that his
appearance was very much changed that his
dress was taltered, and his oountcuancc care
worm This touched the Friends heart, and he
stepped up and shook hands with him, aud spoke
kindly to the forlorn being Al first Cain did
not recognise him. when the Quaker said to hiur,
"Dost thou remember me, and how had thee
fined for swearing3'
Yes indeed do;" said the colored man
