Loisette.

felt more hopeful of success than | ev-
er did before. l had determined that
that day should decide my fate. All
through the winter and the early spring
l had loved Loisette, and hundred
times l had longed and yearned to tell
her 50, and to ask her to be my wife,
and each time something-I could
hardly tell what-sttuck me silent.
She liked me, knew, but did she
love me? Something in her eyes seem
ed to lead me to hope she did; such
eyes they were, loving, and tender, and
shy. When looked into their soft
depths all the most delightful descrip-
tons of eyes had ever read used to
come across me, "les portes de Pa
mour," '.dcs bluets doux CONNIE les
veux; !" above all, Calderon's tender re-
frain.
Sweetest eyes were evei seen.
When she looked at me with those
eyes, then it seemed to me ght "tell
her all that was in my heart,' and take
her to mine untorbidden. But the next
moment, as if she guessed and hclffear
ed my thought, she turned away slyly,
and her manner altered, and my heart
sbrunk back in fear and sorrow.

The Democratic Party.

This is tho true conservative party,
and to this party we look for the pre-
scrvation of this government. All
honor to such men as &. Chauncey
Burr, C. L. ValIandigham, Geo. Il.
Pendleton, Franklin Pierce, the Sey-
mours, Brooks VOORHEES,, Mark
M. Pomeroy, and THOUSAND we could
name, for their unainching adherence
to the ereat principles Of democracy
in the dark hours Of despotism, when
place and power ha'l'no charms for
them. Others were led astray, and the
war, with its demoralizing influences,
brought to the surface the tilthiest sed-
iment in the way Of Popes, Sherldans,
Buffers, Grants, Brownlows, Holts, and
Stantons, and Thomases, to rule with
rods OF iron over men and women of
the highest virtue and intelligence, and
elevate ignorant negroes to place and
pO"er.

er Died. Founded as they were upon
great ideas-ideas consonant with the
happiness of Americans--itwas impos-
sible for them to die. And the Demo-
cratic party is today marching on to
rule under which this country will
prosper as the "green bay tree" No
wonder there is shaking of the dry
bones of Radicalism. No wonder the
Jacobins wear a woeful look. The
late elections North are indicative Of
much to the terror of the fiends who
owe their power to an affiliation with
negroes, and the unwarrented use Of
bayonets in time of peace. They have
affected to believe that the Democratic
party was dead. Ali it only slept for
a season. 1t bids fair to rule again,
and God be praised! for with its rule
comes peace and prosperity, and the
end Of lespotism, and Of the rule OF
dirty politicians, than which the world
exhibits no meancr.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT.

Forbidden now-and yet from childhOod's
days,
Increasing with each year, our love had
grown;
1t seems but yesterday those downcast
eyes
We're wont with looks OF love to meet
mine own.
l left her in quiet country home,
Free from the taint of fashioned life
A gentle, truthful, simple-hearted girl,
Fair promise ola loving, faithful wife.
A soldiers duty called me to the held,-
For three long years war kept me from
her side;
But ere we parted, clinging to my heart,
She told her love, and vowed to be my
bride.
Through all the hardships ofa long CAM
paign
cherished as my life that parting vow ;
little thought that, when we met again,
My love would greet me us she greets me
now.
Alas, I find that beauty such as hers
Ambitious parents knew could well be
sold;
What was our love to thems An honest
heart
Weighed mere trihe when compared
with gold.
She yielded to her mothers harsh COM
mand,-
Those charms have found the noble
price they sought;
An aged lord with title-dceds and wealth
Her beauty-not her loving heart-has
bought.
In vain she coldly tries to shun my gaze; /;
know she loves me still, although we
part:
Poor girl coronet will scarce repay
The lifelong sorrow Of broken heart
Alas, the world of fashion oft can tell
OF perjured vows and honest love denied,
OF youth and beauty tied to feeble aye,
TO crafty parents selfish pride.

LOST.
BY MISS ABBIR WHEELER.

Perished in her youthful beauty,
Lost to all that's pure in life,
Left the path of woman's duty,
Sinned the deepest sin in life:
But the Shepherds voice has whispered
In soft accents, sweet and low,
"Though thy sins shall be as scarlet,
will make them white as snow
will follow DER the mountain,
l will trace her footsteps now,
She shall wash in sorrows fountain
All this evil from her brow.
Ought we to forgive her SHINING,
fla Fathers voice says, low,
Though thy sins shall be as scarlet,
will make them white US snow ?"
May we all, from sin and evil,
Be kept pure, and good, and true;
Listening never to the temptcr,
BE our motto, "Bear and do"
For we all are very sinful,
But Fathers Voice, so low,
Whispers, BE thy sins as scarlet,
will make them white as snOw."
