Hints as to Political Meetings.

As the time is approaching when political
gatherings will be numerous and large, we
beg leave to offer a few suggestions on the
subject:
|. Do not fix the day Of your meeting
and then look up your speakers-they will al
ready, perhaps, have been ongaa ed elsewhere
for that very day-but secure your speaker
first. Let them fix the day.
ii. Two prominent speakers, with the To-
cal aid at your command, are ample sufficient
for any one mass meeting. Let the people
understand these can be relied on, and do not
load your bills with an array Of great names
only to diSappont your audience.
III. Have your meetings, if possible in.
doors. One indoor meeting, even if packed.
is worth halt dozen outdoor noisy gather
ings. The former is comparatively easy and
the latter difficult for speaker to control.
". If you must have outdoor gatherings,
then seek the grove or woods and fail not to
erect stand for your speakers, and cover that
stand with boards, aud with nothing else
Canvass absorGs and deadens the voice. w.l.-
with nothing above the speakers heal, ls
voice will waste in the air above, and in five
cases out Of six be will break down.
V. Always put down upon your platform
whether III or out of doors piece of course
carpet to stand upon. Never cover with oil
cloth, unless you expect your speaker to be
lifeless and dull.
vi Consume rs little time as possible in
prelminaries, in marching and countermarch-
ing Get your procession upon the grounl
with dispatch, aud proceed at once to tho bu-
sness Of the meeting.
VII. Remember, your speakers, especially
the more prominent ones, have families to
support. Their time is valuable, and it costs
them money to travel on railroads aud stay at
hotels. "Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth
of the OK that treadeth out the corn"
\ litto timely attention to these hints will
be found Of much importance in the getting
up and conducting of meetings in the cam.

REWARDS OF VIRrUE.-Virtue may be
mis- represented, prosecuted, consigned to the
grave; but the righteous wake not more as
suredly to the reality Of their hopes, than does
virtue to an immortal remembrance.

known how to be happy within ourselves,
when home is our comfort aud all in it. DO
not refine away happiness by thinking that

AN ITALIAN HEROINE.

The Milan correspondent of the London
Times relates the following romantic story
in which originated the report of Garibaldi's
marriage:
When Gen. Urban advanced with over
powering forces, the Caceiatori delle Alpi
had to- abandon their position on the Lago
di Como and fall back towards Vareso-
The town of Como and all the neighborhood
we're in CONSERVATION at the prospect of a
visit from the Austrians; the employees and
all those who were for Que reason or another
against the movement which had taken place
were raising their heads, the mass, timid and
without organization, was what masses un-
der these circumstances usually are; and
yet it was important to inform Garibaldi of
the state of things, and to give him like
wise details about the position of the Aus,
trians. But there was no one who would
expose himself to the risk of undertaking
this ticklish embassy. A young lady, not
twenty-five, the daughter of a neighbor,
ing proprietor, offered herself, and partly on
horseback, partly on foot, succeeded by cir,
cuitous mountain roads, in reaching Garibal-
dis camp. The General had gone out with
his chief of the staff to the outpOsts when
they met the courageous young lady, who
not only delivered her message, but took
back another equally successfully. This was
the beginning of their acquaintance. After
his resignation Garioaldi went to visit the
Iady's family at tLeir country place, near
the Lake of Como. His visit was to have
been short, but by strange coincidence he
had, shortly after bis arrival. fall with his
horse, in which he hurt his knee, and which
obliged him to remain in the house. He is
still there, but much better.
If the on dts prove true, this circum-
stance in the life of the General will not be
less strange than many others in his inter-
esting and cheekered career.

THE DILEMMA.


Come, Birdie, leave the easement know the
moon is bright
But far more glad and cheerful the ember's glow
ing light;
I've wheeled the sofa nearer-come nestle here
Your little, dainty hand in mine, your head upon
my knee
1t will recall the happy time when we in thought
were free,
And blithe as ever fairies or birds in June could
be;
When we sang sweet songs together, at twilights
dreamy hour,
Or roamed the wood in summer, in search of leaf
and flower.
Do you remember, Birdie the time We fell asleep
Beneath the great, old willow, where shadows lay
so deep
Our arms about each other, our hair with wreaths
entwined-
Our gypsy y-hats and baskets with fragrant bios
SONS lined;
When Cousin Charlie found us, and covered us
with leaves
Calling US "Children in the Woods"-eft there
by cruel thieves
How We read the grand old poets then-Charlie
Sitting beneath the trees, when Time few al
unheeded by;
Your step was light and buoyant then-it almest
spurned the ground;
And your laugh we thought like music, so silvery
its sound.
But now my Bird is dropping, and does not tel
me why;
wish knew the meaning of that half-smoth thereC
sigh.
Since Charlie came, two weeks ago, have no
heard you laugh,
And your face has heightened, visibly, two inche
and half;
And yet, you seemed so gay last night, whcl
moving in the dance
With that tall whiskerando---Sir Lionel De Vance
You never looked so charmingly as in that robe 0
lace,
Your ringlets floating, unconfned-a very quee
of grace.
De Vance was captivated, bending his lordl
With such defcrential air, listening to all yo
said
And you returned his homage, too, with such
witching smile
Charlie and were watching from the above a
the while
And as you left the room, he turned on me hi
glorious eyes
q see your own are lighting now with wonder an
surprise,)
And in those deep, rich tones of hls-so low ths
none might hear
He breathed the story of his love in my bewildel
cd ear
He told me how, in lifes young spring, his heart
first choice was made,
And from its fond allegiance, it had never, nevt
stAyed
That for the loved one he has sought honor, an
wealth, and fame,
And now, to lay thom at her feet, in manhood
pride he came.
What, Birdie! tearsl Why, bless me, love- no,
very pale you've grown!
How could you wrong the noble heart, whie
beats for you alone p
How could you trifie with the love which has bee
4 ever true
You thought the wooing was for me No, Birdie
all for you!
But bark ! l hear his voice cen now-his footste
on the stair!
Come, dry those fearful eyes of yours he
coming, declare;

A BEAUTIFUL ExTRACT.-The following
paragraph is from the Wisconsin Farmer:
To the majority of men we are satisfied
that the soil is nothing but dirt but to the
chemist who knows it's origin, its nature
and its capabilities it is wonderful mixture
of those beautiful elements, which, in their
ever varying forms, becomes the ambient
air, the liquid ocean, the precious opal, the
umethist, and the still more precious diamond;
or delicate blue bell and the violet, the
amaranth, the lilly and the rosebud, the
spear of blue grass and the cedar Of Leba-
non; or again the ruby lip, the lovely eye,
noble, palpitating heart, and yet more wonS
derful brain These are jewels of which
the soil is composed, and out Of which the
husbandman strives to force the food hun-
ger Graves. Hencsforth, as be turns the
furrow of the field, let the sleep of his
thoughts be broken by the reflection, this
earth be stirred up by ploughshare, is
doubtless composed in part of the ashes of
ancestral heroes, whose deeds are the his-
tory of the past, aud whose mortal remains
are the plastic material out of which we are
building the bodies Of men to-day.

on democratic lips Or in democratic presses.
We can continue in peace with our political
associates in the North. If they composed
a decided majority in the free States the
South would have no fear of collision, or
serious aggression Too many of them have
been cut down because they nobly refused
to join the crusade against you. The names
Of hundreds are familiar to you who having
defended your rights with unfaltering frmr
ness, have returned to their constituents to
fall with manly courage beneath the blows
of panderers to sectional passion. A large
portion Of the Northern democracy differ
from the democracy of the South on one or
two weli-known questions of legislative ac~
tion, but they unite thoroughly on all the
other vital questions that cohvulse the coun-
try ana on the determination Of which its
peaceful existence may hang. The first
duty of all who love their country is to over
throw the republican party and with this
conviction, | should be untrue to Kentucky
if | did not plead for the union Of all op-
posed to that dangerous organization; and
to fall to pieces on questions of less magni~
tude than its defeat is to surrender to its
domination, and all the fatal consequences
that may ensue.
There is another element at the North,
not large. but noble and true. 1t consists
Of the scattered cohorts of the old whig par
ty-of men like Everett, Choate, and their
associates, whose conservatism, culture; and
patriotism rebelled against the republican
alliance Besides these, are many thousands
in the Northern States who seldom attend
the polls, and whose voices have not been
heard amidst the clamors that surround
them. To all these let us appeal let US
solemuly demand general revolt Of the
virtue and loyalty of the country against
the pernicious principles that threaten its
safety; and when all the forces are arrayod
in their proper ranks we shall be able to see
what remains to hope or fear.
For myself | cherish buoyant hope in
the destiny of our common country. 1t is
not well to doubt that good Providence
which has protected us in the past will take
care of us in the future, and out of these
commotons will lead US to an era Of trans
guilty and peace.
