For the Spectator.
Beauty, Love and Reason.


oung Love once stopped at Beauty doc
With smiles and ogles winning
And, though the simple maid was poor,
She thought it was no SHINING,
10 let him in, just for while,
10 see how cunningly he'd smile.
Long, long the maiden feasted Love,
She fondled with and kiss d him;
lie seem as gentle as dove,
And she could not resist him.
Each time the idol smiled, she press'd
Him closer, fonder to her breast
One night as they delighted sat
In ardent talk together,
Dark clouds O er Beauty's bower met,
sign of stormy weather.
Love trembled when he heard the rain
Beat loudly 'gainst the window pane.
Light taps were heard upon the door
Love whisper d there was treason,
But Beauty only sigh d the more.
She knew it was stern Reason;
She ask a shelter and no more,
SO Beauty kindly oped the door.
''Ha! is it your sly Cupid cried,
"But, by my mother Venus,
Beauty was made for me, beside,
There is no love between US.
So-go your way, dame Reason. go,
For we can ne er agree, you know
With stately step, proud Reason walk'd
Before the light of Cupid,
In Beautys ear she sagely talk'd,
While Love looked dull and stupid;
He could not brook advice. and so
He placed an arrow on his bow.
The shaft was but ray of light
Pluck d from the beams of heaven;
The bow, of golden wire bright,
The string was silken, soft and tight,
Torn from the veil of even;
And, when the breezes shook the string.
Celestial spirits seen'd to sing
The bow-string twang' d-the arrows few
In one continued shower;
Vain boy this time they are not true,
They fall and lose their power!
The mrror-shield resists their flight,
And Reason smiles to see thy plight
Right vex d was Love; he wept awhile,
But soon he spread his pinions,
And with proud, triumphant smile,
Flew off to seek new minions;
And, as he left, thus WHISPERED he
Sage Reason, we can ne er agree"
Then. praise to her whose heart can prove,
While Beauty's yet in season,
When once attack by dangerous Love,
The resting place of Reason,
And, shame to him who would destroy
The brief, bright hour of Beauty's Joy.

The Tendency to Affiliate"

The Lynchburg Virginian does not agree with
us that the new movement tends to utilization
with the Republican party
Has cur friend seen some Of the articles re.
Gently written by papers on its side of the ar
gument, in which very little is left to be in
terred?
Has our friend examined into the number of
applications under cover of this movement for
Congressional clemency? Has our friend
paused on the late variation to the old tune
which is found in the avowed necessity for an
administration party?'
These are questions which we suggest to our
friend, not in spirit of controversy, but to
show that the respect for ourl sentiments, -
professed by our namesake, might we'll be ex-
tended to our opinion in regard to the tendency
of affairs.
Everything shows disposition in certain
quarters to affiliate with the Republican
party and our friend has only to wait a short
time in patience to see what he shall see'' in
this grave business. .-Nort3H Trgsnaiaa.

Kansas is one of the most Radical Repubii

contains but small coioyed population. YET
it has again and again refused to admit the
principle of the political equality of people Of
all colors 1t did so few days ago The
Chicago platform, on which Grant was nomi
mated, favored the settlement of the question
by the action Of the separate States, according

The Washington letters of the Washington
Republican continue to speak of the liberal
policy of Congress towards those in the South
disposed to a0heel into line aoith the Republican
(Radical) party;;'' of the disposition which has
been recently shown ''to join hands with the
Republican party at this critical juncture, upon
the basis for the South future which Congress
and the nation have together laid down - and
of the probability that those to whom reference
is made will all soon be found in the front rank
of earnest workers in the party Of progress
supporting the administration Of Grant, and
warning upon the retroactionists OF the South
as zealously as any original Southern Union
ists;' and finally that Congress means to ex-
act no more of them than honest support of
its policy, as heretofore laid down" We have
no comments to make at present-though re-
Elections must throng upon the minds of those
who suppose that allusion is made in these
quotations to the Committee of Nine, and those
who have been with them in Washington. For
ourselves we do not, and will not believe, that
these gentlemen agree with Or uphold, or au-
thorlza any such illusions to them By the

PRINTERS CAN READ ANYTHING. "-This
remark is often made by correspondents and
advertisers as an excuse for half spelling words,
abbrevating technicalties, and slovenly, un-
readble writing generally There is no doubt
that printers are better decipherers of bad
manuscript than any other class of persons
but when, for instance, merchant writes that
he has received five BIS, ten los. Cls., it is
somewhat difficult to tell whether the merchant
really means boots, biscuits or butternuts
chalk, cheese or churns cloves, clocks or CLANS.
