Milwaukee remarked to US last week that
the election of Judge Dixon had produced
much alarm in his party in Wisconsin. Not
that the majority was so great, but the vote
disclosed the fact that there is . portion Of

Seward is shelved by the conservatism Of
two New England States. We anxiously
await another development Of influences
which may destroy the remainder of the
distinguished gentlemen whose names arc
now used in connection with the Chicago
nomination. The Free Democrat says:
"The result in Rhode Island and the mar.

chances Of Seward at Chicago. On the
contrary, they riU not be far from fatal to

Like some sweet, soothing, and ec.tatie dream.

Fall many Persian pearl imbsddsd lies
In beauty, mid the roses rich perfume
They smile in light that beams nom thy bright
eyes.
Dearest, sweetest friend within thy gentle heart
The charms Of isnocenos can know no guile;
Love there presidse, without the aid OF art;
Deceit Turks not in thy tear or smils.
Fair lady, oh may ws ever And
Thy noble spirit blest ~ il Is blsst to-day;
May brilsnt beauty still adorn thy mind
With charms that time can never steal away.
Nay hope her rainbow roundshy gentle spirit bend
May true virtue guide and govern thee on earth ;
And whom thy years have nown, my gentle friend,
Oh! msyst thou, in heaven receive second birth

MY NATIVE LAND.
Ny native Land! to thee I'd raiss,
Ny voice in songs OF love and praise,
Thy sunny wales, thy granite hills,
Thy boundess plains, thy murmuring rills,
Thy noble lakes, thy rivers wide,
That meath the vine-clad hills do glids,
Are far more pleasant to my eye,
Than all beneath the ssurs sky.
Thy church spires gleam o'er hill and dell,
Where praise to God, in anthems swell,
There too, Fame's temple proudly stands,
Where youth are taught, In happy bands,
To honor worth old age revere,
Dsspiss deceit, and naught to fear.
Amidst thy scenes 30 vastly grand,
Their hearts shall throb, their minds expand,
And oil shall say thy Alpha well,
OF thy Omega, who shah tell!
The time shall come, my native landi
When poets pen, and sculptor's hand,
Shall cause thy fertile aower-dec ecksd sod,
To rival that Mszzni trod.
Thy names not written in the sand,
But with thy cloud-capped hills shall stand,
And shall entwined forever be,
With that OF Right and Liberty,
Thy stars and stripes shall ever wave,
Der all that's beautiful and brave.

regret need not say-may you be happy

gracefully bowed himself out, followed by
the other two gentlemen.
What Miss Katc's feelings were, leave
it to the fair sex to imagine. Mortified and
indignant at their hcartlessness she certain.
ly was-but she consoled herself with the
reflection that George knew nothing of all
this. and she trembled for fear that he might
yet learn it, and with a flushed face and
beating heart she patted her foot indignant.
ly and restlessly.
The door bell rung, and directly serv-
ant entered the room and handed Kate
another package. She opened it with a
misgiving heart. There was her own pref
ty false face before her, and small billet.
doux enclosed in the case. She read as
follows:
"MIss DENNIS From Messrs. Green,
Thompson and Bartons l learn that you
have been playing a game, very amusing to
yourself no doubt, but at their expense as
well as INV own. I would not subject you
to the modification of meeting fourth
dupe, or witness your qualification, as the
case might be, and therefore declined being
present when the other gentlemen refused
the honor Of your hand, but now resign
all claims to your heart. Return me my
picture and letters by the bearer, If conve-
nient. Not very respectfully,
GEO. W. DENT"
Miss Kate did not faint, perhaps she
might have done so if there had been any
one present to support her, but she sat
down on the sofa and took a hearty crv,
for which think no one can blame her. II
is said that she made q desperate effort to
make up matters with George, but he was
entirely disenchanted-as much out of love
as he had once been in, so far as she was
concerned; and the next year he wooed and
welded good, honest hearted girl, who had
never flirted in her life. She was not So
stylish as Kate, but she made good and
loving wife.
Meanwhile, the tale got wind somehow
I'm sure don't know how. Certainly sh.

given to telling tales out Of school but sh.

loNauiries about the four young men, and

Joe tried to look unalterable things, but
there was laughing, mocking look in his
eye, that plainly showed the girl how little
he cared for her.
Kate was considerably embarrassed, and
while pausing to think what to say, the
door opened and in walked Mr.. Green.
He said, "Good evening; Miss Kate" as il
about to choke-coughed several times, and
finally, in very embarrassed manner, he
handed her . package very much like the
one she had received from Mr.. Barton, but
few minutes before, remarking, as he did
miss Kate, IL really-I don't wish to
make you feel disagreeable, but Henry
Thompson says he's engaged to you-he

fellow, and I don't want to stand in his

miserable as ifhe had been caught in the act
of stealing sheep.
Really, Mr.. Green" commenced Kate,
with the air of tragedy Queen, q"
but she was cut short by the entrance of
the fascinating Mr.. Thompson, who greeted
the company with his accustomed Chester
fieldian air, and then, without accepting the
chair Miss Kate indicated by wave Of the
hand, said:
Excuse my abruptness, Miss Dennis, I
have an engagement, and am in haste, but
finding that you are engaged to each of
these gentlemen, Imust decline sharing the
priceless treasure Of your heart with them.
