81 am not t. abandon those who agree
with me ON this great question of the
restoration Of this Union, because there
are radicals IN the party, and when, il

radicallsn, and a more obnoxious radi.

most obnoxious to me is the radlraism
of the Democracy. Applause. And

After all were seated, the exercises
were opened with prayer by Rev. l.. l.,
Caste, followed by singing from the
choir Wm w. Kelley then spoke
about twenty minutes, upon the origin
OF Sabbath Schools. His address was elo
qucnt ard Instructive. AT the close Of
this speech the assemblage partook Of an
elegant repast, prepared by the ever
ready and willing hands of the ladies' Of
our community. There was an ahuu-
dance and some to spare. All having
refreshed themselves, and INDUCED in

then the flag of our country, denounced

The ceremonies were interspers,i
with music and songs by the choir AT
the close the people dispersed to their
homes, many, | think, having received
salutary impressions that will not soon
be forgotten. Considering the rainy
morning everything was an entire sues

The management of pork and hams.

at all times be obtaired with little care.

few days rub again, and if necessary again.

they aroready for smoking, which should
be done before flies make their appearance

often think each tottering form ..
That limps along in lfe's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
As full of idle fislts as mine
And each has had It's dream Of Joy,
Its own unequalled, pure romance,
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell his tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearth1y truth
Than any tale before or since.
Yes! they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shades,
Of days more bright than modern days
And maids more fair than modern maids
Of whispers in willing ear;
OF kisses on bushing cheek,
Each kiss, each whisper far too dear
Our modern lips to give or speak.
Of passions too untimely crossed
OF passions sighted or betrayed r..
OF kindred spirits carly lost,
And buds that blossomed but to fade.
Of beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And Is it thus-is human love
So very light and frail thing?
And must youths brightest vision move
Forever on Times restless wing?
Must all tho ewes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk Of bliss,
And all the forms SO fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this!
Then what are all earth's treasures worth,
If we at length must lose them thus
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from us
