Folded soft and silently;
Two little curtained eyes
Looking out no more for me
Two little snowy cheeks,
Dimple-dented nevermore;
Two little trodden shoes,

Broken toys about the room,
Apron folded, snowy white
These are left me-only these

Two little silvery wings,
Softly futter to and fro,
Two tiny velvet hands
Beckon still to me below;
Two tender angel eyes
Watch me ever earnestly;
Thro' the loop-holes of the stars
.naggie's looking out for me-"

II The war, the beginning of
Democratic AscendeneY.

# 6otnc of the short-sighted opponents of the
Dcmocratic party, imagine that its existence de-
pends upon the success of the Southern revoIu-
ficn. They forget that it was the Inauguration
of that revolution which confirmed in the hands
of their own party the power which it had OBJ
tanned by the votes of minority of the people
of the Union. They forget that when the South
ern states seeded, ttceaty tco Democratic Sena-
tors were taken out of the u. S. Senate, and
some sirty Democratic members out of the low
er house of Congress. They forget that owing
to these facts, they have been able to hood-wink
a sufficient number Of fools in the North into
the belief that the Democratic party is respon-
sible for the southern revolution, to enable them
to carry elections in half dozen doubtful states
They forget that the war has given them engines
all powerful for the crushing of their political
opponents moneyed aristocraey, a system OF
civil espionage, vast army subject to their die
tation, and unlimited means for corrupting the
people. Their three hundred thousand office
holders, each one, on an average, able to con-
troll half dozen votes. were alone capable of
giving them the two millions, one hundred thou
sand votes cast for Lincoln. Thus, it viii be
seen, the revolution in the South, has enabled
tnem to hold power, whilst, per contra, it has
prevented the Democracy from attaining it.
Hence, il is plain that the sooner the war ends,
the better for the Democratic party. For just
so soon as the immense patronage attendant up
on It's prosecution and the appliance Of force for
the use of which the Southern revolution has
given the Administration a plausible excuse,
shall have fallen from the hands of the abolition
party, just SO soon viii that party sink beneath
the scorn and hatred of an outraged and well
nigh ruined people. Mark our words, the end
Of the scar, is the beginning Of Democratic aseen-
deqcy. May the God of nations grant that that
end SHAH soon come!

Success Of the 7-3O Loan.

Our readers will notice that subscriptions to
the popular 7-30 Loan are still continued in the
most liberal manner. To the Old World the
success of these Peoples Loans is one of the
wonders of a Republic. The Government does
not seek to borrow in foreign markets; it offers
no premiums to bankers, but appeals directly
to the people, and with what success is sufii-
ciently shown by the fact that during fortg-
three days they subscribed and paid the cash
down for one hundred and sirig-one million
dollars of the 7-30 Loan. There can be no
stronger evidence of public confidence in Gov
ernment securities. While nearly all other
stocks have gone down from twenty to fifty,
and even greater per cent. within few weeks,
all forms of u. S. bonds and stocks have re-
manned firm except the slight fluctuations that
are incident to all rapid changes in the money
market Our readers vii! remember that the
subscribers TO the 7-30 Loan receive semi-an-
nual interest at the rate of seven and three
tenths per cent. per annum in currency, and
at the end Of three years from June 18th, 1865,
they will have the option of receiving payment
IN full, or converting their notes into 5-20
SIX per cent. gold interest bond. The late great
decline In the premium on gold makes these
notes more desirable than ever as an invest
ment, and il should not be forgotten that their
exemption from state or municipal taxation
adds largely to their value. There is no inter-
ruption in the receipt of subscriptions or the
delivery of the notes All banks, bankers, and
others acting as Loan Agents, will pay subscri-
bers the interest in advance from the day of
subscription until June 18th
