Whom First We Love.


Whom first we lore you know we seldom wed;
Time rules us all. And life, indeed, Is not
The thing we planned il out ere hope was dead
And then we women cannot choose our lot.
Much must be borne which is hard 10 bear,
Much given away which it were sweet to keep
God help Us all who need, indeed, His care,
And yet know the Shepherd loves his sheep.
Nv little boz begins 70 babble now
Upon my knee his earliest infant prayer
He has his fathers eager eye, know,
And they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his light breath come and 90,
think of one-Heaven help and pity me
Who loved me, and whom loved, long ago.
Who might have been-ah, what dare not think
We are all changed. God judges for Us best.
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven for the rest
But blame us women not, If some appear
Too cold at times and some too gay and light;
Some grief gnaws deepj some woes are hard u
bear.
Who knows the past? And who can judge Us
right2
An, we're we judged by what we might have been
And not by what we are-too apt to ialll
Nv little child-he sleeps and smiles between
These thoughts and me. In Heaven we shall
know all

CoURTING UNDER Difficult
TIES.


Kate Blake was the only daughter Of Jacob
Blake. the old miser of West Brook.
She was more than commonly pretty, and
her frank engaging manners enhanced the
charms of her golden hair, pearly skin, and
eyes like the blue skies of summer At her
fathers death she would be heiress Of the nice
little sum Of seventy thousand dollars, and
though men generally profess not TO be inhu-
enced by pecunisry matters in affairs Of love,
it is to be reasonably supposed that this pros
pectiye wealth by no means lessened the num-
Der Of her adorers. Among those most ardent,
and perhaps sincere, was VIII Dartmouth, with
a heart larger than his purse, and very little
thought or care for consequences.
Fortunately, old Jacob never suspected the
partiality Of his daughter for VIII; he would
have put her on bread and water before he
would have consented 70 the slightest intimacy
with VIII Dartmouth.
Jacob Blake was not in favor Of marriage
Those who knew his circumstances were not
surprised at this, for, to use a phrase more ex-
pressiye than elegant, Mrs. Blake was Tartar,
with temper enough for two Tartars.
Old Jacob had to walk Spanish for the
most part, or suffer the consequences which
usually descended on his head in the shape Of
apy domestic utensl which happened to be
lying around handy.
A maiden sister of Mr.. Blake resided in the
family, whose principal business seemed to be
70 act as a sort of echo to her brother and his
wife. Whatever they thought shethoughttoO.
She regarded it IS primary sin for Kate TO
associate with the young men, and this doctrine
was perseveringly drilled into her neice, who
though she never dissented, had her own idea
on the subject
One day Mr.. Blake and bis wifswent to Ded-
ham to attend fair, and Miss Peggy being
absent at friends Katio was left alone. VIII
Dartmouth in soma way, learned the condition
Of affairs, and early in the afternoon he came
over to keep Kate company.
As her parents were not expected home IN
II, the evening, VII felt perfsc'ly sscure in

" A Parting Song"

There are not many more touchingly beau
tiful flowers in the field Of song than the fol-
lowing, by one of England's sweetest bards-
Mrs. Hemans:
When will We think of me, my friends
When will We think Of me?-
When the last red light, the farewell Of day,
From the rock and the river is passing away
When the air with deepnng hush is fraught,
And the heart grows burdend with tender thought
Then let il be!
When will We think of me, kind friendsG
When will We think of mel
When the rose of the midsummer time
Is flld with the hues Of its glorious primei
When We gather its bloom, as in bright hours He'd,
From the walks where my footsteps no more may
tread
Then let j. be
When will We think Of me, sweet friends?
When will ye think of INT?
When the sudden tears o'eriow your eye
AT the sound of some oldcn melody;
When We hear the voice Of mountain streamj
When We feel the charm of poets dream =
Then let it be
Thus let my memory be with you, friends
Thus ever think Of me
Kindly and gently, but as of one
For whom Ills well to be fled and gonej
As Of bird from a chain unbound
As of a wanderer whose home is found -
SO let it be

A q" CONSERVATIVE CoLoRED Man TABRED
AND FEATHEBED.-Aaron Hart, an innocent
inotfensive imbecile, who has been wandering
about Georgia delivering conservative speeches,
addressed a crowd Of colored meni in Savannah
on the evening of the nth. On his way home
he was taken by a crowd of his own people,
carried to the common, whipped entirel y naked,
his wool cropped, and thick coat OF tar and
feathers applied, in which condition he suffer
ed other indignities and abuse from his perse-
cutors. The affair having attracted the atten-
ton Of the police, he was rescued from the
hands Of the mob and conveyed tothe barracks.
These colored mobites should be at once pun
ished with the severest penalty Of the law
throughout the country.

Taxation.

Il say 10 YOU, I'll at there is not poor man
in this city who pays one cent of tax TO the
General Government. No one pays such tax
unless be has an income of $1,000 or over, and
if he has that he can afford to pay it.'-sjohH
L. Logan"
The above a fair specimen ofthe arguments
of the Radical stumpers They all know that
it is false The laboring man who buys a
pound Of tea for one dollar and a halt, pays at
least fifty cents tax on the same The tea in
New York, free of tax, is worth $l.00; the
tariff on it is 35 cents in gold, which, in green
backs, is equal to 80 cents; this so cents is ad-
dcd to the S1OO, and is paid by the man who
buys it, and this is true of every other article
purchased. He pays Just as much tax on
everything he and his wife and children eat
drink and wear, as the rich man now pays on
what he eats and wears The tax that he thus
pays is used to pay the interest on the Govern
ment bonds held by the rich man erempt from
taxation, and on which he does not pay one
cent of tax. The rich bondholder may have
100000 in these bonds upon which he pays
no tax, and the laboring man must work to pay
his interest in gold.-PIdm Dealer.

NEGRO OUraAGE.-We were informed last
evening, by two respectable gentlemen from
Littlestown, Adams County, that on Sunday
last a Young white girl named Croft, about l6
years of age, residing near that village, was as
saulted by a negro who pinoned her arms,
placed gag in her mouth and then forcibly
violated her person. This diabolical deed was
committed in the house in which the girl lived,
during the absence of the other members of the
family. The black fend fed, but was subse-
quentlv captured and taken before Radical
Justice of the peace, who offered to release him
on five hundred dollars bail This could not
be obtained. and the negro was placed IN the
custody of a constable to be taken to the coun-
ty prison. On their way to Gettysburg the
prisoner managed to escape, and is still at arge.
His victim was very much injured, and has
been in a suffering condition ever since. The
scoundrel ought to have been lynched on the
spot by the people Of Littlestown.-Harri'-
