cANDoR AND DECEIT.

rambled thu ough shady dell, .rla
The glossy leaves waved . er my head,
A compact mass Of living green,
Besprinkled thick with brown and red
It was the sunny hours of June,
The wild bi sang his siNan song,
The busy bee from bud and flower,
Conveyed his hOned sweets along.
The speckled trout sprang from the brock,
To catch. the insect buzzing by,
TIE crow cawed on the distant hill,
The swallows all went skimming by;
The pigeon weed with berries red,
Grew On the velvet moss-clad bank,
The haaFgia ef the shallow brook.
Was edged with rushes tail and rank.
Beneath a beech tret's leafy shade,
Two maidens fair sat down 10 dine,
Their bread was white as driven snow,
Their drink sparkiin ruby wine
Their robes were Of gorgeous dye,
Their eoifures mingled gold and white,
Their silken tresses hung IN curls,
As black as ebon shades oi ni.ht
Their kerchiefs made Of tissue stuff
outspread we're lying at their feet,
Endorsed in gold upon the hens,
Was eandoI and deceit,
Twas then knew ladies fair
But for the kerchiefs at their feet
They told their Names yet did tell
Fair catdOr from deceit.
Thus, whilst gazed upon the twain
Each sat aside her ruby cup,
And gaiiy laughing, stopped to pick,
Her golden tinseed kerchief up;
Then turning round to take their bowls,
saw signt that made me stare,
Deeeits red robe was sable backed
And wiry was her blood.dyed hair
backward stepped in deep disgust
D think how much I'D gazed anu sinned,
/ trod upon twig, 1t snapped
Aud on they heeted like the wind.
All we'll thinks I, rm not 50 bad,
For wiser men whom oft meet
Are puzzled OF to Judge between,
Fair Candor and Deceit.
Their forms the same, their face the same,
Their books the same, save this
That CaudOr 's fair, all over fair
Deceit is but fair market miss;
You cannot tell her face To face,
SO smiling fair she seems,
But when she turns her back. change
Comes DER your luscious Dreams

Mr.. johnson has evidently fallen
into the hands of bad advisers he
has permitted his temper to get the
hetter of his Judgment, nndis rapid
ly arraying himself in opposition to
the earnest and declared will of the
people. Under the impulse of stub
bornness, he is gradually arraying
himself defiantly against the Nation,
and setting up his will, and his
Judgment against the power of which
he is supposed to be the servant.
The pathWhich he has chosen, and
in which he is now treading, is plain.
1t leads straight to his own political
destruction. There can be no ques-
ton as to the result, of such strug-
gle as he seems to invite.

We can hardly conceive, that the
President can be SO entirely blinded
by passion as to seek deliberately to
oppose the plan Of Reconstruction
which has been laid down. Recent
indications, however, seem to justi-
fly the suspicion that he is about to
throw himself in the hands of the
Democracy. It is evident that he
listened to their advice, and we very
much fear that he is preparing to
act upon it. If so, he must be left
to the fafehe seems to court, and
to the inevitable shipwreck which
lies before him.
