Thoso tyes that were so bright, lore,
Have now a dimmer shine
But all the y've lost in light, love,
Was what they gars to mine i
But still those orbs reflect, lore,
The beams of former hours, ' '
That ripen'd ail my joys, my lore,
And tinted all my flowers I
Those looks were brown to see, lore,
That now are turned to gray,
But the years were spent with me, love
That stole their hue away,
Thy locks no longer share, love,
The golden glowofuoon,
.But I've seen the world look fair, my love,
When silvered by the moon.
That bfw was s nooth and fair, love,
That looks so shaded now,
But for me it bore the care, love,
That spoiled a bonny brow.
And though no longer there, love,
The glass It had of yore,

Where Hope admired before I

jhow could sho be otherwise than beauti

ness was added a friend ono who was
h ery dear both to Blanche and myself.
Carl lteimer was my own cousin, tho son
jof my father's brother who lived further
nip the river. He spent all his leisure
Ihours with us for months, working with
ino at vine dressing. He called li'lancho

a wild and desperato wish to know the

weary and footsore stranger within my

Blanche was there with a baby in her
arms, sitting by the fire, and beside her
stood Carl Reimor 1 So earnestly were
they talking, that they had not heard mv
quiet entrance. The baby was cooing out
its soft notes, and Blanche was singing the
same old melody that I had heard so often
over little Carl's cradle. She looked up to
Reimer's face with a sudden smile of fond
regard. Lingeringly, slowly come back

with consternation. The Republican par
ty viewed our internecine warfare with

made the Keystone State the field of their
active and enorgotio exertions. On our
soil the battle is to be fought, and with
our pcopls the victory or defeat must be
accomplished
In this emergency, the State Committee
actuated by reeling, of patriotism, and
prompted only by a wish to secure tho
triumph of tho "ood old cause," endeav
ored to agree upon a course of action that
would enable the Democratic masses to u
nite upon one Electoral ticket, and thus
nurrait them to hiuIca a nnmmnn
against the candidates of the Republican
nartv. After munh fluliliomfion n nlm
of union was agreed upon, which if .faiths
fully executed, will unquestionably pro
duce this patriotic resu It. In such a cri
sis it requires no words to prove the wis
dom of any effort that will firmly consoli
date the opposition to our common poll Li
cal enemy. It is simply a question be
twoen Democracy anc Republicanism ;
and, as such, it is committed with confi
dence to tne caim good sense or tbe peo
ple of Pennsylvania.
It cannot be denied that the union of
the Democratic party will result in a bril
liant triumph in October. On that initial
battle all our energies must now ha nnn.
centrated. We have a leader worthy of
our cause. With an enthusiasm never
before equalled in any political assemblage
Henry D. Foster, of Westmoreland, was
selected as our standard bearer in that
important contest. Ho did not seek the
nomination. He repeatedly doclined be
ing a candidate for office. When strug
gling partisans met at Heading to ad
vance the interests of their peculiar favor
ite, he remaiucd in the retirement of hia
own home, with no thought of personal
advancement, and anxious only for tho
success of Democratio principles. The
presentation of Lis name to the Conven
tion was met t.y a prompt withdrawal
at his urgent solicitation. Jiut when the
voice of the people unaiiniously proclaim
ed hira the leader of the party in his na
tive Commonwealth, he did not refuse to
obey the call to dutv, yet seeking no pre

Ono Carl Shuhz. a Gorman " Rod Re

in AUhsoun, jias ueconie tno travelling or
ator of the Abolition party. So he is al
lowed to espouse "Republicanism," it mat
ters but little with this rampant Socialist,
whether it be "lied" or "Black." He va-.
ries the color to suit the lutitudo in which
he chances to be.
Both of these schools of politics aim at
disorganization and didintecratlon. social
and political. They assail all that is es
tablished and venerable. They assail all
that is untried and visionary. They
would demolish Capitals and raise on
their ruins a fiimsr superstructure of
painted glass snd gossamer. They would
pun down citadels and erect over their
sites the tents of the showman. Thev
would destroy constitutions and Govern
ments, and substitute for them their wild
vagaries and their crude, undigested and
untried theories.
As if there were not enough Americans
in America, skilled in the arts of the ora
tor, and practiced in the weapons of the
logician, this incendiary emissary, of
foreign birth and foreign sympathies, is
started by the Abolitionists on a stumping
tour through the northern States, to ped
dle the small wares of his intellect, to
scatter the hot coals of lied Republican

Mr. Cary groaned. It was evident he

doubtless some motive in releasing you

"Nebber heard any nigger, black or

Mr. Cary a little testily.

The Texas Fright
From the N. 0. Picayune.
The late acta of incendiarism In Texas,
and the evidence which gains credit there
of more diabolical designs, have create.!
an excitement in that Stnte which it is
not possible for those at a distance fully
to estimate. With tho full conviction pre
vailing in many counties that tlieconfia
rations which have destroyed so many
flourishing towns are but th firaf r,art nr..
deep conspiracy, whoso inaligiiunt object
is the desolation of the country, no won
der need be expressed at the suspicion
that exists toward strangers that are found
among them, and the readiness of the
people to rid themselves of all who can
not establish their honesty of purpose.
But this state of public feeling may lead
to an exaggeration of facts to the exalta
tion of suspicions to the dignity of proof
and harrossing inquisition, if not absolute
danger, to honest strangers, and to the
perpetration of acta of cruel injustice.

"We have seen a note, written from
near Danville, by Col. Dunn's overseer,
to his son. Charles Dunn, which said that
a negro boy, Allen, formerly belonging

and was to have been hung yeaterday."
