THE AGE is the firm and earnest advocate of Democratic principles as declared by the foun ders of the Ki'puhlif! and embodied in its insti tutions. To defend and maintain them is its constant aim, and it is the persistent and vigil ant advocate of reform, jreneral anil municipal. It has sought no alliance wit h any clique or class interests ; it has been subject to no corrupt in lluencc, but has labored, without fear or favor, for tiie M'i'ncial trood. While no expenditure is spared in any of tho chanm-ls of newspaper enterprise, the Ant: is aided by no olhcial patronatre, but relies on the subscriptions and support of individual Demo crats, who would muintain tho principles of their party, and of intelligent opponents who desire to see men and measures fret ly canvassed and hour both sides of puldio questions. 1'ew men or any party deny that free and fearless discussion by the prei-s is now the best defense of the interest of every citizen, ajjuinst l'tuud, peculation and injustice.

She is so frentle, self-rest rainqd, and mild ; And holy acts and thoughts have made, her sweet And pure as any child. The sick man hungers for her kindly smile, -And watches her with eager, bated breath; Her soothing touch has power to bcguilo The very pan; of death. Thus glide? her life, and every passing day To lighten pain her loving care is given ; She finds content and comfort on her way ; lier hopes are all in heaven. Ilrr features aro so calm, resigned and still. You can scarce tell if she be young- or old ; "Surely," you think, 'Vir never felt love's thrill Sho seems too staid and cold." And yet a woman's heart beats in her breast. With all its power and all its need of love ; Earth broke it, but our Lord has gdveu it rest. And taken it above. She thought herself beloved, and nil the earth Seemed happy, decked in nature's bright arrav. Bad, fond mistake ! Her heart, with all its worth And wealth of love, gave way Broke, that a noble purpose there might reign, To suifoi ing men another friend be given.

WASTED PRESENTIMENTS.- Everybody likf s a good ghost Btorj ; and still more popular, perhaps, are those qusisupernat!jral histories which treat of presentiments realized, of dreams fulfilled, of words ligbtljr spokep, but carried cut in a manner that the speaker little cx peeled. A list of such stories is nt ev erybody's finders' ends; but it lias been my lot to meet with several instances of another class of etories ; . much less fre quently commented on, but to my mind even more curious; cases, I mean, in which a peculiar warning has been all b'Jt, and yet not rrtj'ue borne out by sub sequent events ; so that the intimation could not be passed over as altogether trivial, and yet missed its mark. Several Buch occurrences havo been related to me by witnesses in whose testimeny I have full confidence, and I will proceed to give them without further preface. Doctor J., a retired physician in deli cate health, resided, some years ago, in one of tha principal towns in the west of England. lie was one night seized sud denly with a violent illness," and within an hour or two was pronounced to be in a hopeless state. Dr. J. being a Roman Catholic, tha Reverend Dr. V., a priest of that communion, was Bent for to ad- minister the last rites of religion ; and, soon finding that his presenca could be of no further use to tho unconscious sufferer, he bethought himself how he could best procure female companionship for the poor wife, who was quite stunned by the sud den blow. With this intention, ha has tened, in the early morning, to the house of an elderly female, a pious member of his congregation, and a friend' of Mrs. J. The lady had not yet loft her room, and he Bimply sent word up that ho wished to epeak to her. In a few moments she came hurrying into tho room, witls every p-i pearance of agitation, and, belore he could explain his sad errand, the seized his hand I breathlessly, exclaiming: "O, Dr. V., how thankful I am too Bee you ! I have had a most frightful, vivid dream about Doctor and Mrs. J !" Doctor V. nvght well start, but tho hurried on. "I dreamed that I went to call at their house, and that Mrs. J. came down to meet me in a widow's cap, with her facs all swollen with tears and said to me : 'O Mrs. Ml my dear husband is just dead: and he desired me to say that you will be tho next." "And what did you tell hor V Doctor Vs auditors were wont to ask at this part of tho narration ; to which tho reverand gentleman invariably an swered, 'T daro eay it was very cow ardly, and I dare say it was' very foolish; but I did not tell her at all ; I bolted I'' So far tho story is like many another tale of tho marvellous, but the usual ec quel is wanting ; for though Dr. J. died, Mrs. lived on fer many years ; and certainly was not 'the next,' unless in come mysterious sense confined to the world of spirits. In the earlier days of our New Zealand colony, Mr. P.,' a younger son of an Eng lish peer, settled there with his family. Having hurt his arm, he was advised to try rest and change of air, and according ly he set out for a trip to the other island, leaving his young wife, whose numerous and constantly increasing nurssry duties kept her at home. The tihae fixed for his return was drawing near,' when Rlrs. P., was one night awakened by a scream from her eldest child, a little girl four or five years old, who was sleeping in the same bed with her mother. The child had awakened suddenly in a paroxysm of terror, and for some time no soothings were of any avail :' all she would do was" to point persistently to one corner of the toom, while slie soLbeJ out, "Oh !' pbor papa! poor papa! all dripping with water! all dripping with water 1" Of course, she was first petted and then laughed at, scolded for a Billy little girl, and assured that papa could not possibly have been there ; but when Mrs. P. re flected that her husband was probably at that moment on the sea, it is not to bo wondered at that she felt her heart grow pick with anxiety. A few days later, as she and her children were sitting down to breakfast, she saw one of their few neigh bors riding up to the door. That ha could have come away from his home in the busy morning hours betokened somc thing unusual, and no sooner had she looked in his face than she exclaimed : 'Tell me at once, my husband is drown ed !" "How da you know?" he re Fpoiided, thus confirming her fears ; and he handed her a copy of a local newspa per, in which sho read that the steamer by which her husband has intended to return, had foundered at sea. The date tallied with her child's dream, and that circumstance seemed to her conclusive ; so that when her friends tried to point out to her that there was no proof of her hus band's death, she only anwered that tha had received a fearful warning, and gave herself up to her sorrow. At the end of a few days, Mr. P. quietly walked in, and was a good deal astonished at the agony of almost terrified joy with which kis ar rival was greeted. It was by the merest chanca that he was not in the lost vessel ; he had taken his passage, and had actu ally gono on board, when he was struck with tha extreme lovvnessof the bulwarks, and thought that, thould there ba bad weather, he, with hi3 tdiil helpless arm, might be in some danger of being washed overboard. Ha therefore returned to the shore, and arranged to come by the next ship instead. So there the story ends, except that we will hope that no time was lost in administering a dose of physic to the troublesome little dreamer. The next story, perhaps, out hardly to be placed in tha same category with the othere, since it is possible that the warn ing may have prevented its own fulfill ment. My great-grandmother was an active Eady JJountiful to a very ruiic country population, over whose affairs, temporal and spiritual, she exercised a benevolent, if slightly tyrannical, sway. Among her most frequent pensioners was Soft Rilly, as ho was called ; a poor, half-witted lad, generally quite harmless, but subject to occasional fits oT temper, in which he was hard to deal with. O:i0 nijht she dreamed that she was wr.lking along a lane in the neighborhood, when, from a gap in the hedge, Soft Rilly suddenly jumped down into the path before her, brandishing a reaping-hook. I lis flaming eyes and dis torted face showed that his "dark hour" was upon him, and in auother second he had flown at her, his fingers were griping her throat with deadly strength, the steel fl;ished before her eyes, the very bitter ness of death itself was rushing over her, and she awoke; awoke quivering all over, the cold perspiration standing on her fore head, and her heart beating to sutfoctilion. It was long before she could force herself to meet Sjft Rilly, even in the presence of others, and fur months she avoided the lane which she had traversed in Iter dream. At last, some sudden case of distress in the village which called for her presence, some sick child was to be physicked, or some wifc-beatinz husband was to be brought to book, and my great-grand mother set forth, never recollecting, till she had gone some distance, that sho must inevitably pass through the dreadful lane On she went, laughing at her own fears, till suddenly she saw before her the dread ed gap which had appeared in her urea in, and which she had never noticed before, and at that moment, from the very gap, down jumped Soft Rilly, and in his hand he brandished a t canine-hook. The dream, in all its horrors, seemed on tho verjre of fulfilment ; but my great grand mother was a strong-minded woman, and, though her heart was throbbing with ter ror, she neither fainted nor screamed; she walked straight up to the idiot, and gave him a kindly greeting. "I am glad to'see vou. 1 Jill r ; I am walking to tho end of the lane, and now you shall take care of mo." Tho lad, highly flattered, was meek and amiable in a moment, and they walked the rest of the way together, she l-ir.nir,r i:b an incessant chatter in her most cheery tones, though her heart was doubtless beating at every swing ot the ungainly figure, and every flourish of the deadly weapon in the poor, purposeless fingers. At the cottage door she thanked him. and wished him good-bye ; and it will readily be believsd that she procurea another escort for her walk homo. Now for my last story, which I had from the lips of a venerable old Presby terian minister, the last man'lo indulge his imagination! He was in the habit of going every Sunday afternoon to coaduct the worship at a little village on the coast of Scotlaad. One Saturday night ho dreamed a vivid dream. He saw the village and the bay, the wares tossing and beating ia a storm, and he saw a pleasure boat upsot, and dashed to pieces against the rocks. Two men were bufleting with the water, fight- ir for their lives; one a fair slight youth the other a middle-aged sailor. As the dreamer looked, ho saw them both clutch at and cling to a floating spar ; if swayed and sunk under the double wegnt, ana while ho tlouijat passed4throush his naiad '"It can never support them both," he saw the sailor deliberately raise his Gst, and strike his companion a blew which stunned him. Tho young man loosed his hold, and, as he sunk into the sea, the sleeper awoke. A few Sundays afterwards he was greeted with the news that a pleasure-boat had been npset, that the body of a young English traveler had been washed on shore, and that an elderly sea man was the only survivor. The man was a good deal injured, and was in bed at a public-house, to which the corpse of the poor young traveler had been con veyed. The minister at once begged to be taken thither, and so strongly was ha impressed with the conviction that his dream had had a literal fulfilment, that he entered the room of the sick man with the fullest intention of taxing him with murder. Rut when he approached the bed he saw a face totally unlike the one whica had haunted Ins sleep, and every featura of which was vividly impressed on his memory. His visit to the poor dead youth had a like result. These stones are actual facts, for the truth of which I can vouch. I will leave all specalations on the subject to those who read them. The 9th of October, !So7, will long be remembered among the Labrador fisher men. On that day an awful hurricane raged along the coast. One of the fishing vessels, with a large number of men, women and children on board, was caught in the storm, and tried I .. T a . 1 . t 1 A r nara 10 iiue out me Hurricane. Alter a few hours of fearful suspense, she dragged ler anchors and was driven on shore With great difficulty all on board were safely landed. Drenched with rain, blinded by the snow-drifts, shivering in the cutting blasts, they found themselves on an uninhabited part of the coast, the nearest huts being five miles distant. The gloomy night closed in as the last of them was dragged ashore from the wreck. Their only hops lay in endeav I oring to reacli the distant huts, and in the darkness and storm they tajr"cred on through the trackless wilderness. Who can picture the horrors of that night of suffering to this forlorn band ? When the morning sun shone out,' nine teen of them lay dead along the shore. A group of three women and two children, clasped in one another's arm, and half buried in tho mud, was found all stiff and stark in the icy embrace of death. During the darkness and confusion of landing, a family of four young children were separated from their parents, who sought for them in vain, and at length save them up for lost. a. uojr ui louiiccii, uctf.1 tug loeciicn ui a 1 ,rr 1 1 : t . : , r tuese poor little ones, and finding they had no guide or protector, resolved to do what he could to save their, lives. To reach the huts with them" being impossi bio. he made the shiverin" children lie down, locked in each other's arms ; then he set to woik resolutely collecting moss, of which, fortunataly, there was a large quantity about, and piling this around them, layer upon layer, ha at length sue ceeded in excluding partially the piercing cold. Fortunately, too, he found on the beach tha fragment of an old sail, which he spread over all, and collecting more moss, he increased the rud covering until the poor little sufferers ceased to cry with the bitter cold, and declared themselves more comfortable.

The latter were bit ter entOiies to the new belief, which, early fiading a home in southern and. western Britain, at length, when England v,'as inva ded by the equa'ly paan Saxons, found a permanent home among the mountains of ales. This victory over the wild northerners is mentioned iu history as the "Uallsluhh Victory," from the fact that the conquerors sang that song of rej iicing after the battle. Iu tha seventh century the massacre of twelve hundred Christian monks, bekD2iD to the monastery of Bangor Iscued, took place at Flint, and alto the subsequent retributive slaughter of tha perpetrators of the cruelty, by the excited and indignant Welsh princes.

Tha town cf Rhuddlaa was anciently a place cf somo importance, but it is now chief ly distinguished for its castle and some other reraainB of antiquity. It is situated in a low flat district, near to the confluence of. the rivers Ciwyd and El way, and about three miles frcm their outlet ia the Irish Channel.

Archn; ologists are not agreed as te ti e period at which this castle was etecttd. 1 wo author ities Powell and Camdn ascribe it to Llewellyn ap Sitsjilt, who reigned in Wales at the commencement cf the eleventh centu ry, and made this the place of his residence. Ia 10G3, three jears prior to the Norman conquest, when ia the possession cf Giffydd ap Llewellyn, Tiince of North Walts, it was attacked and burned by Hareld cf England. Subsequently, being restored, it became the scene of many historical events, proving that by both Normans and Britons tho possession of tho fortres was deemed of great impor tance. Ia 1390 it was seized by the Eirl of Northumberland, previous to the' deposition of Richard II., who was brought hither cn his way to Fiint, when he was delivered, as we have already mentioned, into the powar of his detbroner and successor. In the civil wars, Rhuddlan was garrisoned for the king, but was surrendered to General Mytton ia 1640, and eoon after, by order of Parliament, it was dismantled.

It is not customary, as in America, for young gentlemen and ladies to associate much together, since the expenses of gallant-, rj are thought beyond their menns.

When they seek female company,' which is only now and then, it is at the pub lic balls, or ia worse connections.
