THE nEArH or f'rnpRLow WEED removes
the Fast of the old editors who were poIstl-
cal power Ia their day, and relegstes ex.
cIusiyely to the pages OF history the times
when Webb, Prentice Weed, Greeley and
Raymond were the great mouldcra Of polit-
cal opiuion in this country. Hesiived to see
the decay Of the old political organ, ard TO
witness its merging Into the newspaper Of
the present day, with its inausuce not
solely exerted in the direction OF party
fealty, but devoted to securing
the blessings OF good government for the
whole people. Since he laid down the
editorial tripod he has seen new order OF
things spring up in the newspaper world,
and had he been vouchsafed health and
yigor instead Of weakness and disease, dur
ing the last few years.of his life, he would
have found himself the yeriest tyro In
modern newspaper labor, despite his past
experience Of nearly half century.
Old readers OF the GAZETTE remem-
ber Mr.. Weed as power in
politics forty years ago, while
our present friends will long have pleasing
reeollectiops Of the interesting political
"reminiscences he contributed to the columns
of this paper during the past summer, and
which were probably about the last efforts
of his journalistic life. He was a man of
sterling merit as well as great ability, and
few OF the newspaper readers Of the present
generation will fail to pay u mental tribute
to his high character aud honorable career.

A Woman's Romance in a Nutshell.

He was introduced to her at a ball;
she danced with him and forgot him.
She met him again at a reception,
was reintroduced, and remembered she
had seen him before. Wherep She
knew not. Yet for some moments his
arm had been around her slender waist.
At the reception she talked with him,
and found him dull. She looked at him.
He might be called handsome, but was
awkward. When he sat down he was
prone to sprawl. He stood with his
head forward and stumbled ungracefully
in his walk. She flushed with annoy
ance, left him, and went into the con-
servatory with a man more to her taste.
She found him one evening at the
house of friend. She conversed easily
on topics of general interest. He sat in
chair too low for him, and his feet were
painfully apparent. She disdainfully
turned her shoulder toward him. Pres
handkerchief. He bent lightly forward
and caught it up, almost before it
touched the carpet. As an intimate
friend at the house he prepared to see
her home. He arranged her cloak with
eager Difference, and she smiled. He
trampled on her skirt as she passed out
of the door, and she frowned.
They arrived at her gate; he pushed
it open, took off his hat, and almost ran
away.
e One day she was coming home from a
shopping expedition with small parcel
in her hand. He came up with her,
bowed awkwardly. blushed and asked if
he might take her parcel. He did not
say much, but listened in adoring silence.
When he left her she laughed and said
he was intolerably stupid, yet not a bore.
Pretty soon he began to call often, and
attended her to the opera and theater
when she would permit him. He was
always near her, and anxions to be of
service. He was manly, and among men
favorite. He rode well, but danced
ndifferently. The other girls laughed at
him, but he did not heedit. She danced
perfectly, was laxative, daring, impul-
sive.
She snubbed him, and shook him off
for more accomplished men.
He finally said he loved her. She
laughed, said Impossible, tormented
him, neglected him, refused more eligi-
BILE suitors, and finally married him and
adored him for all time.
OF such is the nature of women. =

LOVE CROWNED.

A maiden, with garland on her head,
Sat in her bower between two lovers; one
Wore such wreath as hers; the other none.
But him, in merry wise, she garlanded
With that she wore; then, gayly, took instead
The others wreath and wore 1t as her own;
Whereat both smiled, each deeming she had
shown
Himself the favorite. Though she nothing
said
Concerning this by any spoken word.
Yet by her act, methinks, the maid preferred
The lover she dIscrowned. A friendly thing
Or whimsical-no more-the gift She gave
"a Queen might do as much by any slave),
But he whose crown she wore was her heart S
