'sGOVERNOR wOOD.D

A Doleful Ballad about Doleful circumstances ,
The Locos all met at Columbus,
In fretful and quarrelsome mood;
To heal up their former dissentions,
And nominate "Governor Wood
The Committee of Safety's brigh. Chairman.
Was chosen to rule o'er the brood,
As twas known be death on Bill Allen,
And favored, for ttGoveruoT Wood"
"Come boys" he then shouted, ''come ORDER
Wen not allow quarreling here;
You, Whitman, stand back in that corner,
And Myers, sit down in this CHEER
"Our business, my dimicrat brothers,
is contained in the shell of nut;
'Tis TO nominate Wood for Gov'nor.
And go him without BUT.
We must s,raddIe the fence of Free Soilry,
And tickle both Spaldng and Burns,
Must wheedIe the boys in Coondom,
CTS lesson that each of us learns.
''Jndge Bierce may as we'll keep his mouth shut
And Summit will please to sit still;
While regulate this here party,
Every rascal must do as | will! :"
But the boys would not mind Sam Medary.
But ranted and roared as they could,
Refused TO endorse long Bill Allen,
And certified "GoVernor Wood"
The Judge, amid ''noise and confusion,''
Accepted the honor with grace,
Sayng-'Frends, 1've come to the conclusion
To seek for the Governors place.
"You know very well how ] labored,
To reach to the Senator's gown,
But wheneve, ventured my head up,
The party would ballot me down:
'Some called me as soft as mushroom
And others, 'as hard a rock,
That on Slavery they thought me too fshy,
And on banks, "a suspicious old cock
al referred to my speeches at Cleveland,
(Considerin' all very good,)
But they twirled on the noses their fingers
you can't come it Senator Wood!'
"'You're living too far up in Cheesedom,
To suit us white boys to hair:-
We had rather Wing be elected,
Than vote for Dusen up therel'
"But now, boys, Pm sure TO be Gov'nor,
And rule o'er Ohio's free sod;
For I've made fair bargain with VIcToRY-
AS once did our Governor Tod
al can straddle the fence on Free Soilry;
Can tickle the North and the South
Know where to put on the long ponpous,
And where to place lock on my mouth,
$50 my principles friends are quite easy,
The 'honors easy Pm surety
And III do my endeavors TO please ye.
The Governors seat TO secure.''
When Reuben had ended his story,
The Locos broke up in a row;
Sam Medary secured the State printing
The great object with him you'll allow.
The delegates, home, in hurry,
All wended, through wind, hail and mud,
Each shouting, 'tLong live Sam Medary!
And longer live Governor Wood!'

which in pencil was written, "To Emma, from
E." A servant announced Mrs Cleves.
The lovely girl blushed deeply between
surprise and pleasure, and putting aside her
harp, rose TO receive her visitor, who of late
had been estranged. Emma met her with
frankncss, and would have kissed her but
Mrs. Cleves slightly drew back. The inter
view was for moment or two mutually en-
barrassing. Emma had long felt Clara's
coldness, and she hardly knew how to treat
her. At length Clara, glancing at the harp,
/ asked her to play. Emma, happy to put an
end to the constraint, seated herself by her
harp, and sang several songs with exquisite
effect, accompanied by the rich music of the
skilfully touched strings.
Gradually the restraint wore off, and they
conversed easily and cheerfully Emma was
delighted. Clara was all the while envying
her grace and beauty, and trembling for her
husbands loyalty She turned the conversa-
ton to Paris, and then to her brothers re-
turn.
by the by, Emma, you are very fond of
scents. Frank has brought home one very
rare, that is only used by royalty, 1 have a
little bottle that can spare, and beg that you
will accept of it. 1t is called the odd name of
patchuly.'
you are too kind to remember me. But
cannot take anything so valuable from you
1T would afford me great pleasure for you
to accept it, Miss Lawrence Frank says it
is used only on the lips, to which it gives a
charming red, while it makes the whole breath
fragrant as the perfume of the rose.'
The gift was accepted, and the fair conspi-
rator took her departure.

1 am going to walk, Clara
TO see Miss Lawrence, l dare say l think
you had better divorce me and marry her at
once
L shall not go there
will you promise me?'
'No-not if you are so jealous as to make
me PROMISE
Il have reasons to be Jealous"
You have not. l never said a word to Miss
Lawrence, or comported myself towards her
in any manner different than should have
done in your presence. Yet you accuse me
constantly of it. You will soon weary my
forbearance, and may do that out of revenge
which your suspicious are constantly charging
me with. l shall call and see her. Clara, now
your jealousy makes your company distast-
full Your beauty is marred by it. You watch
with an active eye all my movements. If 1
am ten minutes absent you accuse me of ha-
wing passed the time with Miss Lawrence
Try to make yourself as agreeable to me as
Miss Lawrence is and I shall never seek her
society or that of any other person.
Thus speaking, the flirting husband left the
room.

OUR CHTLDREN.

BY WILLIAM D. GALA G E R.
The beautiful vanish and return not.''
They are stricken, darkly stricken;
Faint and fainter grows each breath;
And the shadows round them thicken,
Of the darkness that is Death,
We are with hthem-bending o'er them
And the Soul in sorrow saith,
.sWould that | had passed be fore them,
To the darkness that is Death! f"
They are sleeping, coldly sleeping,
In the graveyard still and lone,
Where the winds above them sweeping,
Make a melancholy moan.
Thickly round us-darkIy Ger us
Is the pail of sorrow thrown;
And our heart-beais make the chorus
Ofthat melancholy moan.
They are waking, brightly waking
From the slumbers of the tomb,
And enrobed in light, forsaking
It's impenetrable gloom.
They rsing-they have risen
And their spirit forms illume.
In the darkness Of Deaths prison,
The impenetrhble gloom.
They are passing, upward passing,
Dearest being of our love-
And their spirt-forms are CHASING
In the beautiful Above:
There we see them-tbere we hear them
Through our dreams they ever move;
And we long 10 be anear them,
In the beautiful Above.
They are going: gently going,
In their angel-robes to stand;
Where the river of Life is flowing
In the far-off Silent Land.
We shall mourn them-we shall miss them
From our broken little band;
But our souls shall still caress them,
In the off Silent Land.
They are singing, sweetly singing,
Far beyond the veil of Night.
Where the angel-harps are ringing
And the Day is ever bright.
We can love them-we can greet them
From this land of DINNER light,
Till God takes us hence to meet them
Where the Day is ever bright.
