THE RENDER
He, to whom give affection,


Must have princely mien and guise, 3
If devotion lay below me


l would stoop not for the prize.
Bend down to me very kindly.


But bend always from above;
I would scorn where I could pity,


/ must honor where ! love.
Had you come as other lovers,


With your praises low and sweet;
Had you wooed in the old phrases,


Sitting humbly at my feet;
Hoa my heart had been unfettered,


And its thought scared free and high,
As the bird that beats at morning Z.
On the gateway of the sky.
But you wore your perfect manhood,


Andy kept your place of pride,
You have soft words as lover,


And true words as friend and guide:
SO IN you my fate has met me,


have yielded as must;
l have given up all the treasures


Of lifetime to your trust.
For my heart is in your keeping,


Helpless but for you stand;--
Who. for mo! if you could hold it


With light or careless hand!
But have no room for doubling,


Life's surrender is complete;
Fearlessly take my future,


And l lay it at yourfee =

that there are no more is rather the fault Of

love is really supposed to exist they are al

THE MADDERN SIsTERs.-The greatest nov
city of the season is the Female Saxhorn
Band, now playing in this city. Their en-
tertainment at Crescent City Hall last night
was we'll attended, and their performance
received with the greatest favor. The skill
displayed by the fair performers was truly
wonderful, and the ease and readiness with
which instruments SO harsh and noisy in
masculine hands were adapted to feminine
grace and softness elected general admira-
ton. The principal feature of the evening
was the song of the BouId Soger Boy by
Miss Emma Maddern, and her performance
ON the drum, which were received with un-
bounded applause, and encored again and
again with the greatest enthusiasm.


Those who were not in attendance have
missed a treat, the loss of which they can
only appreciate by being present at their
next performance.


The Maddern Sisters will give another
entertainment this evening, at the same
place, and we bespeak for them liberal at
tendance, such as their merit deserves. The
great novelty OF their entertainment con-
sists in the performance upon instruments
which are generally considered impractical
bic for any but men, and yet we are satisfied
that they excelled in the softness, sweetness
and purity of their intonation, any male
band we ever heard. Let those who are SO
prone to ask, What can woman do ? go see
them, and they will be convinced that man
can do nothing which she cannot add
grace to.

three Others west of this and several east and north

while leading Democratic citizen of the Albemarle
country, and other good Democrats have written us
in favor of Breckenridge. The communication which
we publish to-day in favor of Douglas, signed Il
friend to the continuance or the Union," is from
crat in the county of Granville. We talked with a
Democrat a day or two since from the Forsyth
country, who assured us that the rank and file Of
the Democracy in that region are in favor of Doug
las and nonntervention and that, unless fair terms
are offered to the Douglas men, many of them will
vote for Bell and Everett This friend told us that
the Democrats with whom he had convcrsed are
heartily sick Of the slavery agitation and that they
are opposed to any action on the subject by Con
gress except to sustain the President in carrying
out the decisions of the Supreme Court He assur-
ed us also that Constitutional Union is upper

The Boston Herald scolds about the New
Hampshire election in this wise:


d" We commend the election returns from
New Hampshire to the special attention of
those Senators in Congress, and their coad-
tutors outside, who have undertaken to make
a platform for the Democratic party. In
their efforts to kill off rival candidates for
the Presidency, they will most efectually
kill the party and secure the triumph OF
the Republicans. Those Democrats who
think they can carry a Pro-slayery candidate
into the Presidential chair. and upon Pro-
slavery platform. make a great mistake.


The HsrdId's notion, of course, is, that the
only hope for the Democracy lies IN double
dealing and dishonesty-in getting plat
form which will read one way for the North
ern politicians. and another way for the
southern ones,-the latter to have sure
guaranty in the hearty pro-slavery character
of the candidate.
