A ToUCHISG LOVE- Sr0RY.--At the
mature age of fourteen had become a be-
ing of dark maginings, on whom the fresh
Less Of the the heart had long ceased to
fall like dew, in consequence OF my enter
tanning iruitless passion for charming
cousin OF mine, WHO was only seven years
and Ealf older than myself One Sep
tember morning, when | was about to re-
turn to school, | came To the fatal determi-
nation of declaring my passion; and, with
that view, ran her To earth in a summer
house, which overlooked the lake in her
fathers grounds rushed in and fell on
nv knees before her Il remember to this
dav how the fir cones with which the place
was paved hurt them and burted out my
love in an iJ,coherent speech. which may
have lasted three minutes or three quarters
of An hour, as far as | am able to state at
this distant perod. love to think of her
now. with moderate amount of gratitude,
because she did not laugh; but, helping me
up. and kissing me on Tie forehead. she
said: Poor dear boy, and so YOU are going
back 10 Winchester, are you! Mind you
are good at your lessons. Don't get fog
ged, which would greise me very mnch;
and here half sovereign for YOU, and =
and | think you had better not keep the
carriage waiting" To this day cannot
help thinking that it must have been ex-
Cess Of emotion which caused me to run
away AS hard A. ever could, with the coin
safely slowed away in my waistcoat
pocket.

A DRAwING-RooM BALLAD.
BV RoBERr BUCHANAN.

In the dawn of the golden morrow
May Marguerite went away;
Naught OF sin or sorrow
Had touched that pertumed clay.
Each morning sWeeter and whittier,
In the city dark she grew
Here, as in places brighter,
The CLOUDS rain down such dew.
The splendOr and power Of Nature -
Ranked little in ner sight
She was a city creature,
Smiling By eandleiight.
The hooks where love might meet her,
Fashion from sunshine slTOuds
Yet her hue than roses was sweetcT.
Her motion was like clouds
Wherever the gass glared brightly
May Marguerite trlpped and new,
O'eT the lowered carpet as lightly
As II IL biOssOmed and blew.
Under ler gentle seeing,
In ner uencdte little nand,
They placed the bOok OF I5eIng,
10 read and understand.
The book was mighty and olden,
hes, worn anu eaten with age;
Though the letters looked great and golden
She could not read a page
The letters futtered before her,
ana all looked SweetIy wild
DeaIn saw AeT, and bent o'rr her,
As sne pOuteS ner lips and smiled.
And weary a little with tracing
ne Book, she looked aside,
Anu lIgnIiy smiling, anu placing
A flower IN Its leaves, she died.
She died-but her sweetness fed not,
As ny the things ol power
For tue BOOK wherein sne read not
Is the sweeteT for the flower.

RESOLUTIONS Adopted by the
Democratic State COnVcn-
ton OF West virginia.

|. ResOlred. That we approve the platform oil
the National Democratic Convention, lately rs
sembled in New York, as the truo exponent oi
our political principles and pledge our hearty
and united support 10 the nominees OF that
Convention for the offices of President and Hlc'
President of the United States.
.. Res0lUed, That we demand OF the Leg sla
turc of this State reduction Oi the useless
swarm Of officers with which we are infested
and such other measures of economy. rctreneh
ment and reform "a will reduce the burthen oil
State and local taxation, which IL 'NhanstlhE
the substance OF our people.
2 iResplrcR, That We demand the reform oil
the present system of registration IA unjust
oppressive upon the people, and At variance
with the fundamental principles OF free govern
ment.
4 ReSolred That we dcnOunce the Radical
party of this State, because, with Wow o.
perpetuating their own power they have re
fused to permit the people TO elect their Owl
Registers. and have vested the power Of appoint
ment and removal In the Governor, so that th'
INSCRIPTIONS purposes Cf the party may be bet
ter accomplished; and because with the sam,
view, they have by recent legislation relieved
their Registers thus unfairly and improperly
elected from either civil or criminal RESPONSE
bilty, for oven Yillf1l AMI corrupt violation Of
duty.
,. Resolred, That while VIC are willing to &C
cord tO the negro the full measure Of lcga
rights, with ample protection Of person aud
property, we are unaltcrably opposed to Negro
suffrage, negro equality and Radical legislation
looking 10 that end.
g. ResOlred. That We denounce the Radical
party for having, through its representatives IN
Congress, by the passage Of certain military re
constr uction bills, declared null and void the
Government of Virginia, which formed The
State of West Virginia thereby denying tht
legal existence of our new State.
