A tOVE SONG.
DY T. P. HEALEY.
Ah' Mary wilt thou love mo well,
-I’hns well, ami well forever, _
or \ v { the alien worlds false spell,
A love so sweet-linked sever?
Oh, answer yes, with sweetesi vow,
Tims nestling negr and nearer 5
For e’en this bliss to pain would grow,
Could Time not make It dearer.
And, Mary, wilt thou love me e’er ?
And though the rest betray mo,
Shall One fond voice still sooth my care,
Alii still this fond arm slay me ?
Oh, tell mo yes, with kindest vow,
Thus nestling near ami nearer ;
- For e’en this bliss to pain would grow,
Could time not make it dearer.
And, uh I ns in thine eyes I peer,

Dark red is less objectionable for certain com

than this latter, it tends to impart whiteness to
them in consequence of contrast of lone.

In the latter case, a dark green will he loss ob

Yellow Draper y. —Yellow Imparts a violet to
a fair skin,'and in this uc« it is less fiuorahlr
than the delicate green. To those skins which
are more yellow than orange, it imparts while ;
but this combination is very dull and heavy for
a fair complexion. When the skin is tinted
nioro with orange than yellow, wc can make it
roseate hv neutralizing the yellow. It product's
this effect upon the black-haired tjpe, and thus
it suits brunettes.
Violet Draperies— Violet, the complimentary
of yellow, produces contrary effects; Ibus.u im

A Powerful Appeal to Democrats. <
At a late mass meeting held in Saline 'coun-
ty, Arkansas, S. 11. Ucmpstcad,Esc[., deliver-
ed an able speech against Know-Nothingisnif
which concludes with the fdllofting pbWcffnl
appeal to democrats to adhere to their time*
honored principles and organization
“And what reason is thereto leave the dem
ocratic party 1 la it not the bnly one thstt
can pretend to a national organization J On
the question of slavery, of bq much interest to
the South, we have something more than pro- * •
Cession—we have practice consistent with pro
fession. The Kansas-Nebroska bill foithluUy
carries out the great principle on whiota the de
mocracy in its platforms have stood, ana- bn
which the South must stand in defence of Its
constitutional rights.
“That principle is non-intervention ns to sla
very in the States and Territories—the entire
exclusion of that exciting question from tho
halls of the national right of
the people of the como into the
Union, with or without slavery, as they shall
deem most expedient for their own interests—
in a word, the right to establish such govern
ment. republican in its features, as shall seem
to them fit for their wants. On these doctrines
the national democracy of the South Shd tho
North can and will aland, and preserve this
our glorious Union, and maintain its constitu
tion as the 1>e.4l inheritance which can be left to
future generations. Know-Noth’mgisra cannot
do it, for it has already weakened the bonds of
society and of government—marked its local
triumphs by trampling on tho purity of the
hallot-box —disregarding the rights of others—
introducing, as in I/misviUc. riots and blood
shed —the murder of men, women and children,
as substitutes for peaceable and orderly con
duct ni elections. Afraid to trust to honor they
bind each oilier by borrid oaths ; but as an il
legal oath is not obligatory in tho sight of God
or man. and ought to be renounced without
i-n uple or hesitation, let them cast off the sclf
i imposed yoke while they may. and give US, if
they will, a fair, open, and manly contest.

The protection of human rights, the protection
of constitutional privileges, and resistance to a
policy that would weaken, and, if successfully
earned out, virtually destroy, that constitu
