makes Statesmen and creates diplomats. We all knew
that he had debated with himself whether he should
accept the nomination Of the Republican Democratic

adopted might followed by beneficial results TO the
country when he gathered about him the best Of

You left me alone for Charley Mclean;

When the girl that love made me feel her de-

Go, thenl thou bewitching, ,deceiver,
In woman trust not; I'll never believe her.
Forgive me this time when thee do chide,
Recollect in my bosom there's some semblance


of pride.
The wound was the deepest that ever you gave,
And will follow me on to the cold silent grave;
I worshipped the more than goddess or shrine
When in all faith and all fervor / asked thee to


be mine.
You have crushed, you have ruined a generous

And its better my darling, that forever we part;

LOVES COMPETITION Frantic RACE Fop
A GRASS WIDow.-A correspondent writes tC

who resides in a certain town in Winona

striplings, one ten and the other eleven years

the lady at the same time and both were on
errand of deciding upon the day for celebra-
ting the nuptals, as each had the encourage
ment 10 believe himself the favored suitor.
The widow herself was undecided, and a
scene of tears gave momentary relief to the
heart -throbbings of the two young lovers.
Finally she chose the younger of the two
and they parted for the night. In the
morning the discarded lover bethought him
self Of his photograph and ring, still in the
possession of the lady. He went to the lady
to obtain them and again sought favor in hel
eyes. She yielded and promised if he should
get his license first she would marry him.
He left on the afternoon train for Winona,
to procure the license, and noticed his rival
on board, who was on the same errand, but
evidently knew nothing of the new bargain.
AS soon as the train arrived, the lover who
held the latest promise pushed for the clerk :
Office and obtained his license, just as he
was retiring his rival and applied for license
to marry the same woman. Our hero who
had obtained license was bound to press
his advantage, and instead of waiting for the

night and secured his prize the next morning
by marrying the "grass widder.'
