Your First Sweetheart.

You can never forget her. She was 80
very young, and innocent, and pretty. She
had such way Of looking at you over her
hymn-book in church. She alone of oil the
world did not think you boy Of eighteen,
and wondered at your size, aud learning,
aud your faint foreshRdowing Of sandy
moustache, and believed you every inch a
man. When at those stupid evening parties,
when boys and girls who should have been
eating suppers of bread and milk, and gone
to sleep hours before, waited, and tlirted,
and made themselves sick over oysters and
champagne, you were favored with glance
Of her eye or a whisper Of her lip, you as.
cended to the seventh heaven Immediately.
When once, upon certain memorable eve,
she poIkod with the druggists clerk, and
never looked at you, how miserable you we're.
1t is funny TO think Of now, but it was not
funny then, for you were awfully in earnest.
Once at a picnic she wore "a white dress,
and had roses twined in her hair, and she
looked so much like bride that you fairly
trembled sometimes You thought, in Just
such snowy costume, with just such bios
SONS in her hair, she might stand beside the
altar, and you, n ost blessed of all mortals,
might place q golden ring upon her finger
ana when you We're left alone with her for a
moment, some Of your thoughts would form
themselves into words, and though she
bushed and ran away, and would not let you
kiss her, she did not seem to be angry.
And then when YOU were somehow parted
for little whlo, and when you met again,
she was walking with gentleman, large,
full.grown, whiskered man, Of % or 80, and
had neither word nor smile for You, and
some well.meaning gossip informed you,
shortly after, that she was engaged to the
tall gentleman with black whiskers, and that
lit was a splendid match 1t was terrible
news to YOU then, and sent you off to some
great city far from your native place, where,
after a good deal OF youthful grief, and
many resolutions to die aud haunt her, you
recovered your equanimity aid began to
make money, and to call love stuff and non,
sense.
You have a wife of your own, now, and
grown-up children, aye, even two or three
toddling grandchildren about your hearth
your hair il gray, and you lock your heart
up in the fire proof safe at your counting
house, when you 60 home at night. And
you thought you had forgotten that little
episode of your nineteenth year, until the
other day, when you read of her death in the
papers. You know she was a stout lady
who wore glasses, and had died older than
she was in that olden time, but your hear
went back and You saw her smiling and
blushing, with her golden hair about her
face, and yourself boy again, dreaming OF
wedding robes and rings and you laid your
gray old head upon your Office desk aud
wept for the memory Of your first sweet
| heart.

The Land We lore gives a model letter
from young lady, whose sweetheart was in
the 9th South Carolina regiment, to Mr.. Da
Wis, president Of the late confederacy, asking
for furlough for her lover to come home
and get married;
"DEAR MR. PREsIDENT-I want you to
let Jeemes Clancy, of Company lth, Fifth
South Carolina regiment, come home and
get married, Jeemes is will, is willin,' my
nanny is willin,' his nanny says she is
willin, but Jeemes' Captain, he amt wiIlin.'
Now when we're wiIlin' ceptin' Jeemes' Cap
tain, think you might let up and let ,Ieemes
come, I'll make him go straight back when
he's done got married, and fight just as
hard as ever.
Your affectionate friend" etc.
Mr.. Davis wrote on the letter, "Let Jeems
CO. and Ieemes came home, married the
attectionate correspondent Of Mr.. Davis, and
returned to his regiment and did fight as
well as ever.

Blindness Of the People

We find the following sensible remarks in
the Cincinnati Enquirer, in relation to the
late vote in Illinois. Those who do not
know by this time that the laws and the
revenues are made and collected in such a
manner as to bear as lightly as possible on
the eastern manufacturer, are incorrgible.
But is 1t not strange that the people should
be blinded to their own interest, when their
representatives in congress have always
been working for the east as against the
west. When they do so, it is Of course the
interest OF the representative to Justify his
course by making it appear that the inter
ests are identical. We commend the re.
marks Of the Enquirer to those who voted
to keep in power those who assess the taxes
on the west, and give the paying contracts
TO eastern capitalists:
Popular blindness and folly find their best
eXemplihcatlon in the result OF the late cleo
ton in Illinois. The state has gone for the
radicals by an immense majority-a MAORI.
ty counted by tens OF thousands Yet it is
a purely agricultural state. 1t is q state
whose highest interests are connected with
the most unrestricted free trade with all ma
tious. 1t is opposed to everything which
resembles q high tariff upon imports. Blu
it votes with the high tariff party. 1t fol
lows the lead Of New England, for that sec

into the pockets of the New England mil

their just profits II order TO make the over
grown wealth Of New England. What has
caused this extraordinary union Of the free
trade interest ofthe agricultursIstate Of Illinois
with the high tariff manufacturing states of
the east? 1t is this: Northern Illinois is
peoped, to great extent, with settlers from
New England and the east. These people
full Of prejudice, and educated in the east
ern political school, from which they have
emlgrated, have not vet caught the inspira
ton OF their western home. They are still
voting as 1t they were citizens Of New En-
gland. They are looking, apparently, after
the interests OF the land thew have left in.
stead Of that which is now their home and
around which their best affections should be
centered. Their votes are Massachusetts
votes, and not those of Illinois. With mncb
force of historical truth we could annIv
these remarks to northern Ohio, where tbe
New Highlander and his descendants are
still giving q controlling suffrage, suited 10
their feelings, to the interests of the land
which they left, but utterly opposed to the
land Of their adoption.

lation which is entirely devoted to the state
Of the east, from which they came, ant
