THE LOVE-LETTER.
BY KATE wILDFIRE

Andy Cavender was sad tritler in his
way. There was scarcely maiden in
the village TO whom he had not made love
at one time or another, and all as pleas
ant piece of pastime; not seeming TO un-
derstand that maidens' hearts were tender
things, and liable to be hurt in the hand
ling.
Many tears had been caused to flow
from beautiful eyes, yet, if ne knew OF
the fact, it did not appear to give HIM Sc
rious concern. There was always a
smile on his lip and light word ON his
tongue.
At last, however, Andy's heart received
an impression. The image of fair
young girl rested upon it; not as of old,
like the image in speculum, to pass with
the object, but like the sun-fxed image of
the Daguerreotype. Strange fact! the
tickle, light-hearted Andy Cavender was
IN love; really and truly in love.

We Have Been Friends Together.
We have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade,
Since first beneath the chestnut tree,
La infancy we played;
But coldness dwells within thy heart,
A cloud is on thy brow:
We have been friends together
Can light word part Us now ?
We have been gay together;
We laughed at little jests,
For the fount of hope was gushing,
Warm and joyous in our breasts;
But laughter ROW hath fed thy lip,
Aud sullcn glooms thy brow:
We have been gay together
Shall Light word part US now?
We have been sad together;
We have wept with bitter tears,
O'erthe grass-grown graves where slumbered
The hopes OF early years;
The voices which are silent there
Would bid thee clear thy brow:
We have been sad together
Oh, what shall part lis nov?

favorable impression on the hearts of GER
tain pretty maidens. The story of his
punishment at Mrs. T-'s flew over the
village in few hours, and, after that, no
fair denizen Of Woodland for moment
thought of regarding any attention from
Andy Cavender as more than a piece of
idle pastime; and, on the few occasions
that he ventured to talk of love, the merry
witches laughed him in the face.

At camp meeting, number Of ladies
continued standing on the benches, notwith-
standing frequent hints from the ministers to
SIT down. a reverend old gentleman, noted
for his good humor, arose and said think
if those ladies standing on the benches knew
they had holes in their stockings, they would
SIT down. This address had the desired ef-
fect-there was an immediate sinking in the
seats. a young minister standing behind
him, and blushing to the temples, said:
., brother, how could you say that .
Say that ? said the old gentleman, it's a
fact-if they hadn't holes in their stockings.
I'd like to know how they could get them on.

The New Moon--.A Good Omen.

Oh I've seen the fair new moon, mother,
Her crescent crowns the night;
And fronl It's silver horns, mother,
Streams forth gentle light;
Oh, fair its BEAM
On wood and steam,
Putting all gloom to light;
and ! saw her over my right, mother,
saw her over my right.
On the bridge hy the maple path, mother,
stood and looked below,
And the ripping wave in the light, mother,
Shenc bright with its silyery glow;
The soAg Of bird,
The calm air stirred,
Of the tranquil summer night;
And the moon shone over my right, mother,
And the moon shone over NY right.
And l thought Of the land of the blest, mother,
Where the holy spirits dwell
And their smiles seemed w0yc with the light
mother,
OF the moonbeams where they fell;
And my spirit turned,
Where the fair stars burned,
With a new and supreme delight,
As the moon shone over my right. mother,
As the moon shone over my right.
And then / wished my wish, mother,
Beneath the moons fair beams;
Strange, strange thatthoughts OF Garth mother
Should mix with our heavenly dreams!
I'm not to blame,
/ could but name
Ny love in my prayer tonight,
When the moon shone over my right, mother
When the moon shone over my right.
| heard a sigh by my side, mother,
As | gazed on the wave below,
And my heart beat strangely fast, mother,
But not with fear-ah, no.
l forgot TO say,
John came that way,
BY chance though doubtless quite
And the moon shone over our right, mother,
And the moon shone over our right.

On the 10th of March, 1847, Gen. Scott ar
rived before Vera Cruz On the l4th of Septem-
Der, l847, he planted the stars and stripes over
the national palace in the city of Mexico. Within
these six months San Juan D'Ulloa--the Ameri-
can Gibraltar-was stormed, and the battles Of
Cerro Gordo, Contreras, San Antonio, Churubus-
co, Molinos del Rey, and Cheputepec were fought
and won. With less than ten thousand fighting
men he attacked and routed, again and again,
thirty thousand of the best troops of Mexico
posted behind the strongest Notifications, and
fighting with the courage Of desperation No
thing of military achievement recorded in an
cient OF modern history can excel the glory Of
that march from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico!
Such is a brief sketch of one whose life has
been devoted to the service and glory of his
country, and whose patriotism is enlarged enough
to extend to the whole country. Born Southern
man, reared and educated among Southerners, he
hasfought andbled alike for the North and South !;
and to suppose that he could be willing to do in
Justice to either, would be to declare the last
forty years of his life but o lie.
Much abuse has recently been heaped upon
this gallant patriot because he declines giving
written pledges upon the various questions which
may be involved in the approaching Presidential
election We doubt not that several Of the gen.
tlemen now prominent before the Democratic
party would cheerfully give pledges of any Kind
whatever, provided they could thereby secure a
nomination, 1t is not difficult to make promises,
and it is very easy thing to break them. We
could point to an illustrious example in the his
tory of the Democratic party which occurred but
very few years since certain Presidential
candidate gave written pledge that he was in
favor of the protective system, and got tariff votes
thereby but as soon as elected, became sudden
convert to the doctrines of free trade.
When q citizen has been for nearly half CEN
tury in the service of his country, his past htsto,
is the best guaranty for his future conduct

CONSISTENCY OF THE OPPosITIoN.-The most
superbly ridiculous attempt at .demagoguism that
we have seen lately is the futile effort Of leading
locofocos to puff their candidate for the Presi-
dency into great, distinguished man. Finding
themselves called upon to support an obscure
and unknown man, to rally the faithful and stir
up an enthusiastic response from the masses,
they set about manufacturing q character and
reputation for him. One thing is very evident,
if they cannot distinguish, they will eztingush this
same Franklin Pierce in a blaze Of glory.-Mor-
