Or after you've kissed them, they'll lie my bosom

Oh your step like the rain to the d farmer
Or sabre and shield to knight without armor;
I'll sing you sweet songs till the stars rise above me,
Then, wandering. ll wish you, in silence, to love
Wen look through the trees the cliff and tho eyre
Wen tread round the rath on the track Of the fairy
Wen look on the stars, and Wen list to the river,
Till you ask of your darling what gift you give her.
Oh she II whisper you, Love unchangeaby beamng,
And And t trust in ~ secret most tunegy streaming
AS our souls flow in one down eternity's river
So come in the evening come in the morning
Come when you're looked for or come without warming
And the oftsner come here the more I'll adore you
Light is my heart since the day pightcd,
Red is my cheek that they told me was bIghted
The green of the trees looks far greener than

Electlonecring III Mississippi.
One of the greatest electioneerers of the age is
Mr.. Daniel R. RUSSELL candidate for Auditor, in
Mississippi His mode of electioneering is to deal
with the 'soveregns with the most blunt frankness
-discarding every particle of blarneyng humbug.
The following sketch of late speech delivered by
him, will be read with interest, if not profit, by the
many aspiring individuals in this city, and through
out the State, who are now soliciting the . dear
people for their support:

will allow that Swan is the best Auditor in the
State that is, till am elected-then perhaps it's
not proper for me to say anything more. Yet, as
an honest man. am bound to say that believe it's
grievous sin to hide thing from my fellow cit
izens therefore, | say that it's my private opinion
publicly expressed that Ill make the best Auditor
ever in the United States.
