LIyERIED DEMocRAcY!-A correspon-
dent Of The New York Tribune writes
that being struck with the magnificent
appearance OF a ine carriage and bay
horses he saw Pennsy ylvania Avenue al
Washington, and rich liveries of the dri-
vers and foo,men, and the Turkey carpets
and silken tassels, and all the other
testimonials of aiistocracy and high
breeding. which are the marks Of Euro
pean manners he thought he had an
opportunity of examining some Of the
splendid establishments Of one Of the
foreign Ministers, and accordingly stop.
ed to ask whose carriage i, was; when.
behold. he was told that the horses, and
the carriage, the driver and his blue coat
and livery, ant the footman in livery, the
silk tassels. and all the fixings. belonged
to Franklin Pierce. the Democratic Presi-
dent of the United States. Docs not
This sound like putting the democracy in
harness, and driving Them with an aris-

The Old Bachelor;

CONCLUDED.

he. too supremely happy 10 need natures

logged lazily along, and slowly crept the
cold hours Of that cold night.
Daylight at las.!' exclaimed our inl-
patient bachelor, bouncing out of ted,
and drawing aside The curtain--af,er
which be jerked them back hastily
and cried terociously, Its the moon!
for that silver orb was innocen,ly shin
my in the absence of her lord, aud had
only ventured 90 peep in upon the doc
tor, never once dreaming Of being found
faul, of by lover.
The docter never once thought about
the moon or stars; he had quite enough
to think of in Clara. But DIR. Hinton
was no ordinary lover. Loving with
the concentrated and accumulated love
which had been laying dorman, in his
heart for full thirty years. he was totally
unlike those youths Of nineteen, &c,
who frequent fragrant grovec. apos,ro-
phise the moon, and sigh over imaginary
Dulcineas. He loved a sprightly sen,
sible, luxuriant creature of flesh and
blood. He had a reverend rival, whose
large black eyes made ,he ill.fav0sed
bachelor feel unhappy. And Clara, fair.
bewilchlng, mysterious--unhsppy. too,
with dash OF coquetry, and JUS. e
nough sarcasm TO give her still more
power, and to pique her lovers--ah! she
was quite enough TO turn the heads OF
parsons and bachelors without number.
Well, our hero tossed and pitched, and
wondered why she had throvn herself
upon his protection on ,ha, wild. tempes-
tuous night! Why she looked so much
like princess clothed in rich apparel,
while everything around her bespoke
primitive simplicity, and almost poverty!
Why she was The daughter of jeremiah!
for no parent was ever before SO TO-
tally unlike his child. These questions
iormented our lover until day. and then
he was ready for action, quick and deci-
siye. need not say that ten O'clock
found him, like valiant soldier. at his
post. 1s
Clara met him with a smile. such q
genial, beaming, sociable, good-na,ured
smile as he would have the future Mrs.
Hinton wear whenever he was near her.
She handed him the large chair. and hop.
ed that she aad not incommoded him in
the least that morning. and went on 10
say great many pleasant things in her
pleasant way, to all of which the doctor

Doctor Hinton was announced. aud
Clara grew visibly nervous. The doc.
tor entered, accompanied by Mr.. More
ton, lady closely veiled, and genieeI
and handsome man. Hezekiah raurned
the Doctors greeting, bu, his eye was on
the very neatly dressed and genteel gen.
,leman who accompanied him.
Friend said Mr.. More,on, Iayiag
his hand on Hezekiah's shoulder. these
persons come to seek you
i have the honor, Mr.. Baily.' began
the doctor, and Hezekiah jumped upon
his fee, with start, .to present to YOU
Ins, ector Strange. and Mrs. Baily' ss.
He raised the lady's veil, and Heze-
kiah saw his wife! With a loud veil,
the imposssr dashed from The room. bus
some very polite gentlemen awaited him
at the outer door, who kindly conducted
him TO carriage. and he was borne rap
idly away. Mr.. Moreton could not be-
lieve his own eyes. He saw the tall lady
led in tears from the room: and he saw
the inspector hand some papers and make
his bow. ~ 81" " s
Verify" said Mr.. Moreton, religion
is the best armor that man csn have,
but il is the wors! cioakr
A solemn stiffness reigned in the little
pnrlor. DIR. Hinton stood ha, in hand.
before the lady of his heart. Il have
done your bidding he said. His heart
was ir his mouth, but he would cay no
more, for he scorned to take the advan.
,sge Of the boundless gratitude which
swelIed her heart. 3" Good Morning.
He bowed, and was going away.
.Come back! come back! / am your
debtor cried the girl, rushing after him.
and seizing his hand convulsively.
He turned gently to her, and said.
"Indeed you owe me nothing. I ann

saw the light he had noticed once before
again gathering there. And. without
blush, without one linge of bashfulness.
he drew her to his bosom, and said,--
Then | am with you, from this dsy forth.
for ever!
There was grand entertainment at
DR.. Hinton's new mansion after the
marriage. Four and twenty sheepish
bachelors were there. and the doctor took
the poor fellows by the hand, and bads
thlm be of good cheer. The pretty
Clara, too. promised 10 befriend them all
during the remainder OF their days; and
the old fellows got lively. and declared
they meant to turn over a new leaf, and
undertake mairimony if they lived.
Hoping that all the old bachelors un-
der the sun may come to this wise decis-
ion, bid them adieu.- ma p. p.

The Curses of Intemperance.
BIT J. O. WOODWARD.


There is fiend whose scathing breath
Brings famine, pestilence and death,
With horrid form and shadowing wings
And doubly armed with fatal stings:
Supplied with venom from the bowl.
1t wounds The body, blasts the soul.
1t curses church and curses state,
The deepest curses in our fate! .
Curses the Legislative hall, .. ...
Its curses on the priest fall! ..
Curses the sovereign and the slave,
Its curses reach beyond the grave:
And feeds the grave as oft we see,
With premature mortality; -...
Curses the husband and the wife,
The deepest curse in social life; -
Curses the tears the mother she /,
And pours its curses on her head
Curses the father and the son, ~@4
And casts them forth, wretches undone,
To sink beneath afflictioa's wave,
And meet with hurried step the grave,
Curses the heart, the lungs, the brain,
Its curses thrill through every vein.
In sullen sluggish lifeless streams
Which waken thought in frienzi'd dreams,
OF prisoned ghosts and clanking chains,
And spirits writing in the their pains.
Around sea of liquid fire, a.-s
Above Jehovah's teeming ire,
Within conscience to forego .r".-a
This prelude of approaching wo, --'s a
Then shun its fatal grasp who can.
For it curses God by cursing man:
And where its banner is unfuriei,
1t pours it curses on the world, ..
As some vast current rapid wide,
Which onward moves a bridgeless tide
Quicksands and pits are planted there,
The eddying whirlpools of despair!
Converges and with fearful shocks,
Dashes the victim on the rocks
Of shoreless, vast. and boundless sea;
An awful dread eternity,
Where CLEANS not hope, the polar star.
To guide the stranded mariner.
But streams of burning anguish roll,
Forever DER the hapless soul; ....
While every wave by which it is tost,
Shall echo and re-echo ''Losr!!" ..
