A Romantic Story.

In South Carolina, lately, has been en-,
acted another version of the "old, old
story" of mans Inconsistency and womans S
constancy. A lady, now no longer young,
after many years of waiting, has been
married to her love, who was far from be-
ing true. She had supposed him dead
killed in battle-and for nine long years
had mourl.sd his loss, refusing, by. the
score, admirers Of her beauty and her wit,
both of which were more than ordinary,
for she came of a Huguennt stock, re-
nownedfor her good looks and good sense,
and an ancestress of hers was one of the
beauties at the court. of Catherine de
Mediois and mistress 10 the King of Ma
varre. While she thus was mourning her
life away, her recreant lover was alive and
well, and the husband of q Northern wo-
man. He had been left for dead on one
of the fields of battle, but, under the
skillful treatment of the Fedeal surgeons
and teader care of brown eyed hospital
nurse, had regained his lease of life. but
lost the heart which was not his to lose
Taking advantage of his death being re.
ported, he came to the North, and, unde,
ieigned name, married his hospital fairy.
With her he lived happily till the fall o.
1870, when death took her away. Ther

Life's Fadeless Flowers.

I've been thinking, darling, thinking,
Of the happy days, now gone,
Ere the minor chords of sadness
Touched the music of Life song,
Eve been wondering why the shadows
Always mingled with the light,
And Life's day dream sinks to slumbel
At the first approach of light.
Our-two roads have met, and parted.
OF the fadeless flowers which grew
Along the way, we have together.
Plucked and treasured, each few.
Hope, and Confidence and Love-
These ara the fragrant, fadeless flowers
We gladly fingered long to gather, :.
In the dear, old happy hours.
And, pressed between the sacred pages
Of the Present and the Past,
Something tells me that their sweetness
And their life will always last.
In hours of weary retrospection-
Hours when we are lone or sad,
Their presence, like sweet reminder,
Whispers Of the joys one had:
Darling, through the roads, forever,
Shall lie stretched far, far. apart,
We will keep these fadeless blossoms,
Like pure safe guardsin each heart;
Till from. earth's soul they are trans
planted
To the garden of eur King,
There to bloom with constant beauty,
In the changeless, ceaseless spring.

A Smart 2, Radical Trick.

Editor American Citizen
Knowing your position politically,
| 1 yet desire to call your attention
to the fears that are causing the
knees of Radical Belshazzars to
knock together in fright over their
rapidly approaching downfall.
They are sending out, marking
them, g The Democratic candidate
for the Presidency" and "COali-
tons Always Failures" two slips of
PAPER, the first of which is an at
tempt to get the Democracy to play
the traitor to the Liberal Republican
nominees, and nominate Hancock,
and the other laudatory account
OF Grant and the rascality of the
Liberal Republican leaders, and
winding up, with the prediction that
the grand old Democratic party, by
this action, wonld triumphantly in
sure the election of Gran.
The poor, miserable, dirty Radical
who wrote these d" things" ought to
understand how Democrats think
and feel, before he can, under the
guise of true Democracy, write any
| thing which can appeal, effectively,
to their hearts or minds.
The Democratic party proposes to
assemble it's men of brain and heart,
at Baltimore, on the 9th of July
next, and there it will, through its
properly constituted agents, so act
as that Constitutional Liberty will
forever be assured, all America.
If that Convention shall deter
mine that straight Democratic
ticket can be elected, that ticket
will be put in the field, that ticket
will be elected. If that Convention
shall determine that the Democrats
cannot alone beat Grant, then it
will, with unanimity and enthusi-
assn, endorse Greeley and Brown
and the philosopher of Chappaqua,
and the brazen-p lumed gent from
the land of Pike, will eject from the
White House the Grant menagerie.
The Democratic party holds victory
in its hands-reSt assured, Mr..
Radical slip-writer, your little tricks
avail nothing.

Nominating Conventions.

Until the year 1880 no National
Convention of delegates to nominate
candidates for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency was ever held
the candidates having been, there
fore nominated by Congressional
and Legislative caucuses. The first
that assembled was the anti Mason
ic Convention, which met in Phila-
delphia i'm 1880. Since that time
there have been twenty-six conven-
tiOns, including the late Cincinnati
Convention. Baltimore has been
peculiarly fortunate as the site of
these assemblies. In this respect
the cities are represented as follows !:
Baltimore ID; Philadelphia 5; Chi
cage 3; Harrisburg |; Buffalo /;
New York /; Charleston l D.; Column
bus % io) 1; Cincinnati 1. III
Graded In those conventions which
have met at Baltimore, are the two
independent wings which split at
Charleston in 1860, one wing nOmi-
mating Douglas, and the other Breck-
enridse.
