Youth and Age.

/ often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline,
! Once bore Il heart rs young, as warm,
AS full OF idle thoughts as mine
And each has had its dream of joy,
His own unequald pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrills at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale OF youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more uncarthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes, they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shade,
OF days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maid.
OF whispers in q willing car,
OF kisses on ii bluShing cheek,
Each kiss, each whisper, far too dear,
Our modern lips to give or speak;
Of passion, too, untimely crossed,
OF passions slighted or betrayed
1Ot kindred spirits early lost
And buds that blossom but to fade.
OF beamine eyes and tre3ses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow.
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we See them now.
And is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail thing?
And must youth brightest vision move
Forever OH Times restless wing
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only come TO this
Then what are earth best visions worth,
If We at length must leave them thus
If all, we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us

krty- Douelsss friends are badly scared

Ar4g- Douglass friends badly scared
at Lincoln's nomination. They say the
Little Giant is the only man who can carry
Illinois against him. We have talked with
perhaps hundred ltinoisans within a
week, and they all say that Lincoln can
beat Douglas hadly i'll Illinois. He beat the
Little Gaut in the neiehborhood of 1000
ON the popular vote for members of the
Legislature in 1853, and was only prevent
ed from gaining The T. S. Senatorship by
unfair appnrtionmemt, by which n major-
ity of Democrats we've elected 10 the Le.is-
lature 10y minority of the people. Lin
coin beat Douglas then and can beat him
again i'll Illinois. So say the best authorities.
