The FEMALE HEART. There is nothing under
heaven delicious the possession of pure, esh,
immuIable affections. The most felicitous moment
of mans life, the most ecstatc of all his emotions
and symPathies, is that in which he receives av-
Dwell of feeling, which in their youthful purity,
fountains of unsettled and gushing tenderness-the
spell that once draws them forth in the mystic light
of future years and undying memory. Nothing in
life is so pure and devoted woman's love. Ii
matters not whether it be for husband child, or
sister or brother it is The same pure unquenchable
fame, the same constant and Immaculate glow of
reeiing, whose undeniabe touchstone is trial. Give
her one token of love- kind word, or one gentle
look, even lift be amid desolaiion and death-the
feelings of that faithful heart will gush forth as
torrent, in despite of earthly bond mercenary tie.
More priceless than the gems of Golconda is the
female heart; and devoted than the idolatry of
Mecca is woman's love. There is sorGid view,
qualifying sefineres in the feeling. 1t is prin-
cPe and characteristic of her naiure-a faculty and
infauation which absorbs and concentrates all the
ferVor of her SOUL and all the depths of her bosom.

prHctised heart than the monarch Of empires. would
rather possess The immaculate and impassioneu de-
volion of high-soul and enthusiastic female,
Than the sycophantic fawnings of millions.

that he would support man Tor Governor who does

knows as well we do that the body of the Demo-

as we do that the Convention of the party assembled
in Raleigh last summer, nominated Gov. Reid upon
platform directly opposed to Mr.. Leaks hobby and
yet, knowing this and claiming Democratic support,
MIR. Leak very modestly says to the party =" Cen
notions. 1t might have done very we'll to nominate
and elect that man Reid, on the platform you did,
