Constance.

Fairy Constance, opened-syed
FAir-haired ripple Of life's tide,
Seven years fairy in what lays
Shall ] write or sing your prGise2
Somewhat difioult, find,
Is it to recall TO mind
Rusty rhymes Of other days,
Snatches Of forgotten lays,
Tropes and metaphors that, whom
All my years were but twice ten,
Flowed as easily as flows
Cultural talk through parrots nose.
Somewhat different see,
Through some misty years, TO me
Look the dreams of younger days;
How, then, shall ! sing your praise?
Angel edited below,
Complete in duodecino
Fairy phantom, elfin child,
Spirit Of the ocean wild
Airy goblin Of the storm
Prisoned in a human form
Tell me, Constance, what you were
In those realms Of upper air
Whence you surely earthward came,
Changing ever, yet the same
Like the shine and shade that fly
Der some landscape in.the sky,
In the bosom Of the blue,
When the stars are peeping through
Evenings weft Of silvery gray,
Ere the sun has fed away:
Where did then your footsteps range,
Constance, constant but in change?
In and out, now here, now there,
Like daytime vision fair
In and out, among the gloom
or my dull and silent room,
Fairy Constance dances free,
Spray-like DER a sullen sea
While, like beads Of Oirce's wine,
Her wild eyes sparkle, doze, and shine
Liquid eyes of magic power,
Heavy, like hanging flower.
Changing Constance, let me see
II by any simile
Pen and paper can express
Your artistic changefulness,
Showing how your nature is
Your names complete antithesis.
Like sunbeam on stream;
Like apassage of a dream
Like the varied witchery
or wild music in the sky;
Like the transient tints OF red
When the sun has sunk to bed
Or the still more transient gold
When the midnight mists unfold,
And the earliest streaks OF morn
Tremble through the eastern dawn;
Like the breath OF summer breeze
Wandering through the lazy trees,
When the sleep Of still July
Sings the loud blasts lullaby
Like the ripples Of lake
That on placid shingles break
In the lonely tropic hills;
Like the noise OF bubbling rills
Running down valley-side
Like an autumn corn-feld wide,
Waving in the waving wind;
Like thought within the mind,
Scarcely grasped yet partly known
Like young bird newly flown
Like flake Of feathery snow;
Like-what more | do not know.
SO, my dear, l Il leave your praise
To some bard Of later days
Younger eyes, when l am old,
Will watch each infant grace upfold,
Sec the budding tender shoot
0pon, blosiom, and bear fruit;
Other hands when these are cold
viii write what now remains untold:
Other hearts when mine is still
AT your glances move and thrill (;
Other souls know hope ard fear,
Young loves fancy, young loves tear
What so late? Goodnight, my dear.

Democrats, men who served in the Union
ranks during the war, we could only say they
arc misguided, and are what they are untlink-
ingly but we have men in the Departments
who were educated at the expense of the Gov.
ernment, and who, when the time came to put
the theories into practice, which cost the Gov
ernment so much to impart to them, turned
tail, and gave to the enemy that which of
right belonged 10 the Government of the
United States | say, such men, in view of
the action taken by the Democratic Senate and
House ought to bc removed, and that
instanter. In tho army, during the war. men
of doubtful courage were compelled to 60 the
front, or were drummed out of the service. To-
day the same battles arc to be fought over
again, and so every coward, poltroon, and
skunk ought to be drummed out of the SER
vice. l mean, now, all who are weak and vac.
illatng; all who are not for us are of neces.

WE judge from the talk of Cabinet officers
In Washington and from the remarks Of our
esteemed Republican cotempopries generally
that there is absolutely no hope for the grand
old party In the South except from the cOniis-
cation Of Illicit whisky by d putty marshals.-

1t is but frnnlncss 10 say that to attack
Illicit whisky is TO assail the Democratic
party in its citadel. There has been much
rejoicing among the Bourbons since the
