LOVE AND YOUTH.
BY MRS. N. r. TUCKER.

Said Love to Truth, swell met, my friend,
For have much to say to you,
All lovely things comprehend,
But fail In any to be true
II enter In the crowded hall
The festive court Of mirth and glee,
Where youth and beauty meet, and all
Give praise and homage unto me
II bind soft and silken chain
Around the heart of seer and sage;
But, when visit there again,
find them pale with Jealous rage.
II paint the rose on beauty's cheek
And lend glow to beaming eyes,
Yet, gentle tongues their curses speak,
And quantity style me King of Liesr
TO me the strong man boweth down,
conquer more than Nero slew,
And yet, my subjects fret and frown,
Because-because am not true"
Friend Love-" spoke Truth, "from what Is said
Twould seem sorry race you've run,
Then let us fates and fortunes wed,
That we, ,henceforward, may be one."
Thus, both agreed, they courted long,
As loving lovers always do,
For Truth had Love to make IL strong,
While love had Truth to make IL true.
And so, adown Life's golden sand,
In steadfast age and wayward youth,
Coy forever, hand in hand,
Oh! heart of Love! oh! soul Of Truth!

DANIEL S. DfcKINsoS.-The " Democratic
Standard. published Concord n. H., avows
its preference for Mr.. Dickinson as the Dem
osratic candidate for the Presidency, in 1860
and remarks
" Within few weeks The expression Of
the press in every part Of the Union in favor
Of Daniel S. Dickinson for the Presidency
has been remarkable. We have seen news
papers from California, Missouri, Minnesota
Michigan, Pennsylvania nearly every North
ern State, all expressing preference for the
patriot and statesman OF New York. And
this expression is spontaneous-th out
spoken preference Of the popular masses.
Mr. Dickinson, everybody knows, is above
intrigue He wonld not stoop to it for the
highest honor or distinction. II the Presi-
dency cannot come TO him as free will Of
f-ring Of his country men be is the last man
who would desire it. As a politician and
statesman, he is bold and fearless : as man
modest of demeanor, and of integrity inaexi.
Bile. The man does not live in America who
possesses more of he stern virtues OF the
old departed hero ofthe Hermitage than
Daniel S. Dickinson. With such man at
their head the Democratic hosts would enter
the battlefield determined and confident Of
victory"

HOW THE Bitter WAS BITTEN.

"Burleigh," the racy correspondent
of the Boston Journal, tells the follow
ing story Of the uncertainy of "betting g on
a sure thing:"-We have noted gen
tleman in New York whom l shall call
I. He is a member of one of the New
York clubs. Opposite to him was an
other person, who one evening sported
an elegant diamond ring. 1t dazzled T.
He wanted it, but the owner seemed to
care little to part with it. Yielding at last
to the importantly of T., the ring was
sold for the sum of 5000 It passed off
to T. amid the titterings and suppressed
mirth of the crowd, which caught the
quick ear Of T. He knew that both the
ring and the purchaser had been sold
I. said nothing. The next day he called
upon a jeweler, where he learned that
the ring was paste, and worth about $25.
He called for some real diamonds, and
among them found ring not unlike the
ring Of paste. T. made bargain with
the jeweler for the use of the real dia-
mond. He pledged 81 200, the price of
the diamond. He gave 500 for its use
for time, He had the paste removed
from the setting, and the real diamond
put in its stead. Thus armed, he ap-
peared among his associates at night,
fourished his ring, and seemed to be in
very high glee, to the astonishment of
his chums, who believed he had been
sold
But the advantage was with T. He
talked about "fool and his money" &c.
said if any gentleman present had a
81 200 ring that he wished to sell for
5000, he knew where there was pur-
chaser to be found. Bets were freely
proposed that the diamond was not real
They were accepted. One man bet
81 900; so did another; and two bet $500
each; and all were taken by 7. Umpires
were chosen; the money and the ring
were put in their hands, the test applied,
and all said the stone was diamond of
the first water, and was worth $780,
I. quietly put the $4,000 in his pocket,
and went his way. He carried the dia-
mond back, recalled bis S1,200j paid for
the stone, and with the paste ring on his
finger, went back to the club at night
The man who sold the ring was at the
club waiting, for he wanted to regain the
ring. He had sold it for fun-he knew
all the time that it was real diamond
he never had any false jewels-he
could tell real diamond at any time by
its peculiar light-he would not do SO
mean thing as to cheat his old friend
T.-and he knew that 7. would let him
have the ring back. But 7. was stub
born; said that the seller was cheat; and
now that he saw the value of the ring
wouldn't undo what he had done. Al
length 7. agreed to restore the ring on
the payment of $500, which was joyfully
paid. But the matter came out, and all
parties came to the conclusion that wher
diamond is to cut diamond some one
more pliable and less sharp than T. will
be selected for the operation.

lying cold against my neck, threatened
to pierce it every instant, l began to
pray God himself, I believe taught me
what to say thatnight; for paralyzed with
horror, I could not of my own will have
uttered the words that unclaimed the
maniac's ear, from one long moment to
another, till the hand that held my head
bent down released it's hold, and his
deep, regular breathing told me he was
asleep.
Softly I rose to my feet, took my key
from his loosened grasp, the knife from
his hand, and stole from the room. 1t
took but little while to rouse the inn
keeper and apprise the old gentleman of
the whereabouts of his grandson. The
lunatic was secured, and the next morn
ing, at the first glance at myself in the
glass as Iwent to comb my hair, tainted

during that terrible night, and powdered
nv black hair till it was snow white for
evermore.

dence, in the efficacy of prayer, in sal

Mercer ceased speaking, then some one
said, "Did you not grieve over the loss
of your beautiful hair" No, after the

and to tell the truth, [ am proud of my
white curls. 1t grieved Marie more
than any one, but [ told her we could
always be easily distinguished now that
I was we'll pleased with my hair, though
[ had horrible hairdresser.
