THE RESULT.

You did begin. You can't deny
You kissed me first. Don't you remember
How splsndidly the moon rode high
And full. that evening in September?
We two were sitting quite alone,
Your head upon my shoulder resting;
The loving moonlight round us shone.
You pouted out your lips, suggesting
That should bend my head to sec
fyou were earnest or but joking:
My lips touched yours. You must agree.
That crime was of your own provoking.
Ifyou were vexed why did you stay.
Your head upon my breast recliningf
Or not tell me to take away
The arm that was your waist confirming?
Twas long ago. and yet it seems
But yesterday, as now recalling
Our fresh young love, Or happy dreams,
The autumn leaves around us falling.
We little thought how it would end.
That love our future life was guiding
To where We are, this little friend s>-
To our protection thus confding,
1t can't be helped. We must receive
The charge. while trustfully believing.
That love, in his young life. viii leave
No greater cause than ours. for grieveing.
1t must be SO. The breast from which
The little fellow strength is gaining
Contains a heart in love so rich,
. |, fearless, trust him to your training.

A Card.

1t is our desire to express our gratitude to
our friends for the care which oflate they have
manifested for our comfort. They seemed to
be fully aware that ministers and their fami-
lies have wants, and that those are not all con-
fined to physical necessities. Consequently
they have bestowed their kindness in way
most gratifying to the kind feelings and social
sympathies of our nature.
In the first place, one day week before last,
tie parsonage was well filed with ladies whose
hearts seemed overlooking with kindness while
their hands were busily engaged in preparing
articles of wearing apparel nicely adapted to
the wants and tastes of the family.
Then on Friday evening of lat week, the
parsonage was again filled with young ladies
and gentlemen bringing with them donations
in money and usefnl articles for the family.
and best of all, manifest disposition to graft
fy us with their cheerful and joyous society,
free from those leyities which sometimes mar
youthful associations and awaken subsequent
regrets.
The next day after this agreeable interview
Win the young people, the men who have
teams, were seea vending their way to the
forest with a view to supply the parsonage
with fuel. The result was, that at night we
found ourselves the happy owners of a large
wood pile. .t .-.e s..
To what end these kindnessss tend, We can
not predict, but the present. effect upon us is to
make us thankful to our friends, and thankful
to God for giving us friends They also make
US regret our past want of faithfulness in la
boring for the spiritual good of those who
manifest sach kindness to us in temporal
things. We hope in future, that by grace as
sisting, there may be il Us an improvement in
this respect. g@

With record to the first matter, We
have no doubt the Convention will select

State and be equal to the importance of
the place AMI &C Aston. We suppose
there is no doubt but that this State will
send Seward men to Chi ago, yet til y

action as the circumstanc may demai d.
This St. Croix Valley is fairly entitled to
one of the delegst s, and we pre- lie the
Convention will grant US cur dues in this
respect.
With regard TO the chief Justiceship
We hope the Convention will make a
nomination for the same reason which we
have before urged in favor of party
nomination. We believe Wisconsin is
thoroughly Republican. and We would
have her show her position by an eloquent
and powerful reassertiol of those princi-
cles in tho election of every important
officer. We believe that tho nomination

no other literary paper possesses, and

SpesuIations About the Baltimore Com
yPntiOn.

The Washington correspondent Of the New York Her
cid OF Friday INDUCES in the following speculaOns con-
corning the proceedings at Baltimore:
The action Of the Democratic Convention at Richmond
meets with the general appreciation Of the Democratic
members of Congress But there appears TO be gloomy
forebOdug in the minds Of most OF them that there Is
crisis at hand which cannot be avered, and which is
pregnant with the tremendous results The Douglas
delegates are resolved no; admit the seeding dele
gates as far they have the power TO exclude, but TO
admit in their stead bogus delegates appointed To I'LL the
vacant places. Very much depends on the delegation
from New York which holds the balance Of power That
su explosion viii take place is almost certain, and II will
be brought about in this way Judge Smaley, the Chair
nan of the Committee Of Arrangements at the Charles
ton Convention who acted SO unfairly in excluding The
Wood delegation from the floor, claims the right 10 is
sue tickets for the Baltimore Convention That claim Is
deuied his powers ceased when the Charleston Con-
ven,iou organized. But the new National Democratic
Committee not appointed of the sudden
breaking up OF the Convention. Under these circ1m-
stances Mr. Caleb Cushing, the chairman of the Conven
on has the right 20 issue the tickets and he will issue
them There viii be thus double SCI Of tickets issued
At al events Mr. Cushing Ri supply The Southern seee-
ding delegates with tickets and they will be admitted
and the question will then arise how they 10 be put
outg They Douglas leaders, finding them present, will
az them whether they viii be bound oy the decision OF
the Convention il Douglas should be nomiuaedg Ii they
.al!d lot give satisfactory Suswer,th Douglas faction
M protest against their right to be there andH they can
ill expe them and admit their own friends from the
same States and thus nominate thcir iaVorite
10 IS needless 70 say that under the circumstances the
seeding delegates viii secede second time, and perhaps
bring others with them aud that there will be another
Democratc candidate in the field Thia breaking up viii
probably take place Tuesday. and the Richmond Con-
venon Will meet on the 2Oth day earlier than nam
ed and that in pursuance OF the call OF he chairman who
Is vested With Discretionary power 70 the sece-
der sooner neeesar Thus there is less hope of union
and harmony than ever aud greater probability OF the
election Of the Republican candidate.
Bad work is anticipated at Baltimore. An immense
number orOwdies from this city, from Philadelphia and
New York, with a thousand lighting men from Illinois
and Ohio, are expected the Monumental city. The
contact Of these elements wish the Plug Uges must ne
cessarly lead 70 violence.
