silence was restored, Mr.. Wisner said !:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention Il appear before you at
this time with the utmost difidence-
pleased and equally panied pleased
at the unanimous favor you have con-
ferred upon me, in announcing that /
am your candidate for Governor of the
great and glorious State of Michigan,
and panied lest I may be found want
ing in the hour of trial. Believe me,
that if / receive the votes of the people
of Michigan, / will attempt to perform
the duties imposed upon me, to the best
of my ability, so help me God. Cheers.
-Four years have elapsed since, under
the oaks at Jackson, was ushered into
existence the Republican party-a par
ty that has made the slave power of
the South quail in its boots-that party
which will not lay down its arms, until
it has thoroughly conquered its foes !;
that party formed to carry out the prin-
ciples of the Ordinace of 1857" there
shall be neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude in the territories"
Accept my thanks, gentlemen, for
your kind indulgence. l will meet you
in your several counties during the
campaign, and speak to you upon the
great topics which have agitated the
country, should my health permit. 1t
is needless for me to say that l must
not make speech to you at this time,
as there is oo'much business before the
Convention to allow any time to be
taken up. / retire, gentlemen again,
accept my thanks.

THE MOSS ROSE.

The angel of flowers, one day,
Beneath rose-trce lay,
.(That spirit to whose charge is given
To bathe young buds in dcws OF heavenJ
Awaking from his slight repose,
The angel whispered to the rosc
"Oh, choicest object of my care
Still faircst found when all is fair,
For the sweet shade thou'st given me,
Ask what thou wilt-'tis granted thee
"Then," said the rose, with dcepcncd glow
"On me another grace bestow."
The spirit paused, in silent thought
What grace was there the flower had not.
Twas but moment--o'er the rose
A veil Of moss the angel throws;
And, clothed in natures simplest weed,
Gould there flower that rose exceed?

A WOMAN'S PERV ERSITl.

The following beautiful story has been pub.
lished in different forms, but III none so good
as the original:
Sir Hugo had reached his fftieth year un-
molested BY passion, save an ardent one for
flowing goblet. Instead Of love passages, his
delight was in tournaments whence lie always
returned victorious. At length he was flung
from the saddle of his Indifference by the beard
less tilter love He saw Angelica--thc fair
est maiden of the land--forgot his gray hrs,
and, unmndful of the incongruity OF union
between May and December, led her to the
nuptial altar. Fortunately, Angelica was as
modest as she was fair, and her firm virtue re-
pulsed the numerous butterflies that swarmed
round the opening flowers of her beauty. Sir
Hugo knew the tried virtue Of his consort,
and therefore she was to him dear and pre-
cious as the apple of his eye.
One morning he rode to pay visit to a
neighboring baron in arms his honest squire
Conrade trotting after him. Scarcely had
they proceeded half way when the knight sud-
denly stopped and cried
"Come here Conrade a most tormcnting
thought has inst occurred to me. This is the
very day that Father Nicholas comes to the
castle to say mass for my dear wife and my,
self, and am not at all inclined to have hin
in my abode during my absence so gallon
back, and desire your lady, in my name, not
to admit the priest.
Conrade paused and shook his head as if il
doubt and relied, "Excuse me, noble sir
but perhaps the lady Angelica, if left to hel
own discretion, will do what yon wish"
IA curse on your perhaps !" exclaimed thu
knight II make all sure by giving the order
"Do you think so ~ replied the squire; ''now
in my simplicity believe exactly the contra
ry. Take the advice Of your faithful scrvan
for once in your life let things take the
course, and give no order upon so delicate {
point"
"A fig for your dclicacy ?" cried Sir Hugo
angrily "what absurd fancies you have go
into your head to-day DO you think al
hours ride a task so very tedious ?"
"Oh ! if it comes to that, sir,' rejoined Con
rade, II have no more to say"
He put spurs to his horse, and rode bacI
to the castle.
Angelica saw him galloping up, and erie
in terror, from the window, What hd
brought you back in such haste ! Has an
accident happened to my lord
"None whatever, gracious lady" answcfe
Conrade, "but the noble knight was appr
hensive that some accident might happen yo'
if by any chance you took Il fancy to ride Sn
tan"
II ridc-rde the large greyhound p e,

A PSALM OF LIFE.

Tell me not in mournful numbers
"Life is but an empty drcam.'
For the soul is dead that slumbcrs
And things are not what they seem.
Life Is real Life is earnest:
And the grave isnot its goal
"Dust thou art to dust returnest,'
Was not spoken to the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end OF way.
But to act that each Tomorrow,
Finds lis further than To-day.
Art Is long and time is necting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still like muffled drums are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the worlds broad field Of battle,
In the bivouac Of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be hero in the strife.
Trust no Future bowe'er pleasant
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act-act in the living Present.
Heart within and God o'erhead
Lives OF great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
And departing. leave behind us,
Footsteps on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing DER lfe's solemn main.
A forlorn and shipwrcckcd brother
Shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With heart for any fate
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait,
