Your First Sweetheart.

on never can forget nCr. Sne was so
very young and innocent, and pretf
She had Guch way of looking at ' Il
over her hymn book in church. She
alone, of all the world, did not think you a
boy at eighteen, but wondered at your
size and learning, and your faint foreshad-
owing of sandy mustachc, and believed
you every inch a man. When at those
stupid evening parties, when boys should
have been in the nursery, and the girls,
who should have eaten supper of bread
and milk, and gone to sleep hours before,
waltzed and firted, and made themselves
i'll over oysters and champagne, you were
favored by glance Of her eye or whis-
FER from her lips, you assembled to the
9TH heaven Immediately. When once,
upon certain memorable eve, she polkaed
with the druggists clerk, and never even
looked at you, how miserable you were.
1t is funny to think of now, but it was not
funny then, for you were awfully in earn
est
Once, at "a picnic, she wore white
dress and had roses twined in her golden
hair, and she looked SO like bride that
you fairly trembled. Sometimes you
thought in just such snowy costumes, with
just such blossoms in her hair, she might
stand beside the altar, and you, most
blessed of all mortals, might place gold
en- ring ring upon her finger; and when
you were left alone with her for moment.
some of your thoughts would force them
selves into words, and though she blushed
and ran away, and would not let you kiss
her, she did not seem angry. And then
somehow you were parted for while, and
when you met again she was walking with
another gentleman, a large, well whisker-
ed man Of twenty-eight or thirty, 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, ard that
/" it was splendid match" 1t was terri
BILE news to you then, and sent you off te
some great city, far from your native
place, where, after good deal of youth
full grief, and many resolutions to die and
haunt her, you recovered your equanimity
and began to make money and to call love
stuff and nonsense.
You have rich wife Of your own now
and grown up children aye, even two OF
three grandchildren, about your hearth
yo1- hair is gray, and you lock your heart
up in the fire proof safe at your counting
house when you so home at night. Ant
you thought you had forgotten that little
episode of your nineteeth year, until TIT
other day: when you read Of her death il
the papers. You know she was stout la
dy who wore glasses, and had daughter
older than she was in that olden time, Blu
your heart went back and you saw he
smiling and blushing, with her golden hal
about her face, and yourself a:boy again
dreaming Of wedding robes and rings, an
you laid your grey old head upon your Of
fee desk and wept for the memory of you
first sweetheart.

MRS. LinCoIn's Opinion Of Gcner-
al Grant

In the late book published by former
negro domestic in the Lincoln family, Mrs
Lincoln is credited with the following ex-
preston of oplnion with reference to Gen.
Grant:
Speaking of Gen. Grant to her hus-
band, the president, she observed: Gle
is butcher, and is not fit to be at the head
OF an army And when the president
said, by way of defending the general
But he has been very successful she re-
piled, yes, he generally manages to
claim a victory He loses two men foi
the enemy's one. If the war should re.
main four years longer, and he in power
he would depopulato the north. Accord
ing to his tactics there is nothing under
the heavens to do but to march a new line
Of men up in front of the rebel breast
works, to be shot down as fast as they
take their position. Grant, 1 repeat, is al
obstinate fool and butcher
The above is truthful and admirable
criticism upon the military genius and
character of Grant, and we agree with
the New York Herald, that 1T indicate;
that Mrs. Lincoln is, by no means, devoid
of acumen and good Judgment.

A DEMOCRAT ON GRANT.

Some months ago the Pittsburg Post,
one of the most respectable of the Demo
cratic papers Of Pennsylvania, contained
Of the Democratic Party in certain
Event" from which we excerpt the sail
ent paragraphs without any farther COM
ment. They speak for themselves
Suppose that, contrary to the wish of
some Of the leading Radical Black Re
publicans, who want office themselves,
Gen. Grant should be nominated for the
Presidency by the Republican party,
what course ought the Democratic party
TO pursue?
Ought we to nominate man in oppo-
sition to General Grant? Ought we TO
charge him with being an enemy to his
country, or in favor Of unjust measures.
merely because he may have received
said nomination?
We are inclined to believe that more
depends upon General Grant now than
upon any other individual in the United
States We believe him to be far supe-
rior to the majority Of the far-sighted po-
lilicians who have been ruling the nation
without bringing peace or economy to
our legislation. He is known to all the
people as q straight forward man, and so
tar as can be judged, a man well dispos-
ell TO deal fairly with the people Of all
sections Of the Union.
What better thing can be done in case
Of Gen. Grants nomination By the Re-
publican party, than to vote ior him for
the Presidency? Our ann should be to
strengthen his hands; to render him as
much as possible independent Of party,
aud to select him as the President Of the
people. If unanimously, so much the
better
We solemnly believe that if the people
generally of the United States can come
together with real unanimity on General
Grant in regard to the Presidency, it will
be the happiest thing for our country that
could possibly occur. The future good
effects of this course are almost incalcu
lab,e. We earnestly ask our Democratic
friends everywhere to consider this sub
ject carefully.

(HriHea for and Sung Dy tie '.AndersoR Republican
Gleo ClHJ)
AIR: WELL HAVE NO KING nut CHARLIE.

AIR: WE'LL HAVE NO KING BUT CHARLIE.
When Freedom reeled on food and field,
Beneath the blows of Treason,
And DER the land Deaths crimson hand
Hung heavy for a season,
Then from the North, The cry went forth,
O'er prairie, lake. and heather,
Ere Freedom dies, beneath the skies
Wen march, and we'll die, together.
Thus, side By side they marched and died,
And they sleep beneath the heather,
Or filled the skies with vict'ries' cries
AS they fought, and they won, together.
AS Freedom led her legions dread,
Red Treason paled before them;
The proud earth beat beneath their feet
And the stars shone brightly DER them.
Though Treason stood, baptized in blood,
With airs from hell to fan her,
Her flag went down, by field and town,
Before our Starry Banner.
For, side by side they fought and died,
And they sleep beneath the heather,
Or filled the skies with vict'ries cries.
As they fought, and they won, together.
The German line swept like the Rhine,
Their Tricolor uprearing;
And in the front of battles brunt,
Flew the old Green Flag Of Erin.
While on the right, where r0ared the fight,
With gallant hearts to lead 'em,
The Yankee line doomed up divine,
As they fought, and they died, for Freedom
Thus, hand in hand, from every land,
They marched 'gainst wind and weather
And filled the skies with vict'ries cries,
AS they fought, and they won, together:
Though Meagher's soul has burst control,
And he rests meath the mighty river;
And Kearney sleeps, while Freedom weeps,
For Mcpherson is gone forever;
Yet Logan's here, and Sicl1les' here,
And Sigel, when we need 'em,
While the master hand is still in command,
To march, and to fight, for Freedom.
As side by side our comrades died,
And sleep beneath the heather,
Wen fiji the skies with vict'rie3 cries,
AS we ballot for Grant together.
Oh, comrades, who have Worn the blue,
Thro crimson fields of glory,
Shall Treasop's hand defile the land,
And stain your deathless story?
Fling out your flag, no slavish rag
Shall wave DER the lion-hearted;
No traitor foot shall dare pollute
The graves of the great departed.
As side by side our Comrades died,
And sleep beneath the heather,
Our foes shall quail, and Treason pale,
As we ballot for Grant together
