A Model Love Letter.
A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE-THE RAP
TURES OF CUPID.

Myers us. Harris This was one of
those rare and peculiar cases-breach Of
promise of marriage cases-and occupied
the greater part of the forenoon. From
the evidence it appears that the parties
both live in or near Oanrandgo, N. Y.
that Harris had been frequent visitor
for about two years and half at the
house Of the plaintiff-a widow woman
nearly thirty years of age, with three
children. 1t seems to have been the
opinion of the friends of the plaintiff
land no doubt she thought SO herself)
that Harris would marry her; but he
(Harris) from unaccountaple cause few
months ago suddenly discovered that he
loved another young lady better, and
verified this belief short time since by
marrying that other lady. Hence this
action was brought by the plaintiff to
recover damages, to apply as salve to
her wounded affections. The following
tender epistle, sent by the loving swain,
is recommended as model love letter:
My Dear Mrs. lI Every time /
think Of you my heart fiops up and down
like churn-dasher. Sensations of un.
utterable joy caper over it like young
goats on stable roof, and thrill through
it like Spanish needles through pair OF
tow linen trowsers. As a gosling swim.

Ny Birth Day.
BY JOHN @. WHITTIER.

Beneath the moonlight and the snow
Lies dead my latest year; '+~5
The Winter winds are wailing low
It's dirges in my ear. m
lgrieve not with the moaning wind
As III loss befell;
Before me, even a. behind.
God is, and all is well!
His light shines on me from above,
His low voice speaks within
The patience Of immortal love
Outwearing mortal sin.
Not mindless Of the growing years
OF fcare and loss and pain,
My eyes are wet with thankful tears
For blessings which remain.
fdim the gold of life has grown,
I win not count its dross,
Nor turn from treasures still my own
To sigh for lack and loss.
The years no charm from nature take
AS sweet her voices call, %
As beautiful her mornings break,
As fair her evenings fall.
Love watches Ger my quiet ways,
Kind voices speak my name,
And lips that find it hard to praise
Are slow, at least, to blame.
How softly esb the tides of will!
How fields, once lost or won.
Now lie behind me green and still,
Beneath level sun!
How hushed the hiss of party hate,
The clamor of the throng!
How old, harsh voices Of debate
Flow into rythmic song!
Methinks the spirits temper grows
Too soft in this still air,
Somewhat the restful heart forgoes
Of needed watch and prayer
The bark by tempest vainly tossed
May founder in the calm,
And he who braved the polar frost
Faint by the isles of balm
Better than self-indulgent years,
The outtiung heart of youth,
Than pleasant songs in idle ears
The tumult of the truth.
Rest for the weary hands is good,
And love for heal Is that pine,
But let the manly habitude
Ofupright souls be mine.
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh
Dear Lord, the languid air:
And let the weakness Of the flesh
Thy strength Of spirit share.
And, if the eye must fail Of light,
The ear forget to hear,
Make clearer still the spirits sight,
More fine the inward ear!
Be near me in mine hours OF need,
To soothe, or cheer. or warn,
And down these slopes of sunset lead
As up the hills of morn!

On Thursday. we had the pleasure Of
hearing Gov. Le=iie at Clinton Several
hundred citizens OF Hickman county were

evident marks Of satisfaction and ap
plause. The line Of argument WIS sub
stautially the same as at Hickman,
dough the Governor spoke with greatly
more warmth, force, and enthusiasm No
new points were made in his Clinton
speech excepttbe statement; Of his opin
bon on The question OF negro testimony.

that It was the desire Of large number

from him on The question, and in re

he had not discussed it il his speech from

Gen. Harlan had attacked him on the
question and be then and there declared
himself in favor Of it. He had prac-
ticed lsw under the rule in Tennessee for
several years, and found that it worked
wisely and vel. He considered ita
measure for The protection Of ,ehite men,
and thought the objections TO itunfouud
ed If there were those who would
vote against him because lie favored the
proposition, lie couldn't help it, but
he wouliut dodge any proposition.
There were good democrats, he said who
opposed it, but an honest difference of

The candidates for the Legislature, the
candidates for the Senate, Col. Geo. W

will bear witness to the Governors de

Ueallude thus particularly TO bis po-

not discuss the question at Hickman, and
because many have urged that he was
opposed to it. Some have deemed it
proper to abuse The Hickman COURIER,
privately, through public speeches, and
through opposing newspapers, calling us
half way Republican, etc, because we
have favored this proposition. They
have hunted down aud abused Capt.
