TIE ELECTIONS OF THE PAST WEEK

So, it appears that the Government here
were correct in anticipating sweeping VIC
tories in the recent fall elections. Never
theless, they by no means signify Wing
defeats. Inasmuch as nowhere, were the
Wings in full organization. In Ohio, the
Maine law and school questions, as well
as the fugitive slave law question pro-
duced serious divisions in the Wing party
In Georgia, the wide and deep gap made
in the Wing party by the course of Messrs.
Toom5s and Stephens and their friends
towards General Scott, was by no means
closed: while Governor Cobb took the
lead in justifying to the late Union party
Democrats, the policy of Pierce with
reference to the dispensation ofpatronage.
In Pennsylvania, too, though the coalition
with the Natives enabled the Wings to
prevent the Democrats from accomplish
ing more in Philadelphia county (where
they have a plurality of at least three
thousand, J than to elect half their ticket,
in the interior, the Wings suffered terri
bly, from the running of split tickets for
Maine law candidates, and others mount
ed on local hobbies. No single Wing
principle Or measure was in issue any
where. So, the Democracy cannot be
said to have obtained these victories over
their ancient opponents. On the other
hand, it is very plain that the Admins
tration have gained most overwhelming
triumph over the disappointed, and, of
course, disaffected ofice-seekers of their
party, who were apparently more inter-
ested than the Wings in defeating the
Administration friends. The New York
Herald, more especially since the recent
return of Bennett from Europe, has as
sumed the championship of the disaffect-
cd: declaring that the Administration has
utterly lost the confidence of the Demo-
cratic party, and vieing with the New
York National Democrat in the game Of
violent, flippant and vulgar denunciations
of the Cabinet; all of whom both these
journals have represented as being the
weakest, as we'll as the worse creatures,
ever in public life.
We repeat, the Administration VIC
tory over discomfort in the Democratic
ranks, has been overwhelming. These
elections thus, at least, read a lesson which
tells of the slight influence of the New
York Herald over the public mind. Never
was its fulsome adulatiOn more suddenly
changed to intense and sweeping abuse,
and nowhere has it apparently been able
thus to influence the ballot ola single voter.
Though read everywhere, it utterly fails
to command respect, because it has no
settled principles its praises and its
censures being alike the whims of the
moment, based, apparently, on sinister
motives. Thinking men agree with us
that the radical Democracy of the present
Government will surely meet unani-
nous, and, in the end, most spirited oppo-
posion from all the Wings in the land
and also in the opinion that the disaffected
Democrats have merely bitten file in
attempting to fight the administration
only upon its division Of the spells, in
which the Wing party have no interest,
immediate or remote.

NEW YEARS VISITS,
A STORY FOR THE YOUNG.
BY AMY.

"Happy New Year Happy New Year!'
was shouted by a chorus Of young voices,
as Mr.. Harper entered the breakfast room.
ga happy New Year to you, my dears,"
said he: "but you are rather boisterous in
your congratulations. You might present
the compliments of the season in more
quiet manner"
"Oh, papa, that is the fun Of it!'' said
little George, climbing on his knee. "We
always try who can get up first, and shout
the loudest on New Year. And now, pa
pa, you are going to buy me that big hob
by horse you half promised, are you not,
for New Years present %
eyes," said Tom, "and, papa, all the
fellows have got such sleds! Ned Haley
passed here this morning with his: you
should see it. He run by, without stop
ping to speak word, but know I shall
have one as big as his, and as pretty too"
''Stop, STOP" said his father" you are
running away with your sled, and that too,
before you have got it. am afraid shall
have to disappoint you both to-day, and as
you are surrounded by so many of the good
things Of this world, you must be satisfied,
my little men, and make the most of what
you have got. If 1 had promised you these
articles [ would deem it my duty to get
them for you, for never break my word,
you know. But as I did not promise, and
have so many other uses for my money to-
day, I trust my little boys will cheerfully
forego the pleasue their toys would have
given them, when they know it is not in my
power to crafty their wishes at present. t.'
It is astonishing what change these
words produced upon the children. They
sat and finished their breakfast in silence,
ren are mercenary, and have not tact
enough to conceal it that is taught after
wards; but it cannot be denied that that
feeling predominates in childhood; q tare
that must be separated from the wheat,
weed that must gradually be uprooted from
among the flowers. Mr.. Harper was not
unconscious of this, but he forebore to men
tion it, and tried to restore their cheerful
ness in vain. He was answered respectful
ly and promptly, but not cheerfully.
They gathered in knot around the
stove, as their father left the room, and
gave vent to their feelings in muttered re-
proaches against him.
'Pa is real mean," said Tom. "What
are few dollars to man as rich as he is !?
Ned Haley's sled cost just three dollars,
and it is such beauty! l am sorry 1
spent all my money on Christmas. I would
have had almost enough for one."
s'Never mind" said little Minny, their
pet and plaything. 81 wanted dell like
Carries, and was going to ask for it too,
but when Papa said he could not give you
what you wanted, didn't ask him.
s'Oh, yesr' said both the boys in breath.

DAILY EVENING STAR.
THE BACHELORS BRIDAL.

Not a laugh was heard, nor ajoyous note,
AS our friend to the bridal we hurried
Not wit discharged his farewell shot,
At the bachelor going to be married.
We married him quickly tosaye his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning!
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps dim
light,
To think him no more discerning.
To think thata bachelor free and bright,
And shy of the girls as we found him,
Should here by the altar, at dead of night,
Becaught in the snare that bound him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though we heartily ate of the cake,
Then escorted him home from the scene of dread,
While his knees did awfully shake.
We thought, as we hallowed his lowly bed,
Of the beech, the birch and the willow;
How the shovel and broomstick would break o'cr
his head.
Of the tears he would shed on his pillow.
Says he "they will talk of their friend who has
gone,
And every old ''Batch' will upbraid me,
But nothing, Iu wreck, if they'll let me sleep on,
Meath the coverlet, just as they've laid me.
But half ofour bretherly task was done,
Ere the clock told the hour of morning,
And we left with the hope that the fate he had won
Would prove to each comrade a warning.
Slowly and sadly marched we down,
From the top Of the uppermost story,
And we never have heard from or seen the poor
man,
Whom we left not alone in his glory.
