When I was young and tender too,
I had to mind and had to do
Whatever mother bade me;
She used to have a walnut stick
Which kept me on the double-quick
When older grown, and quite a beau
Among the girls, I used to know
A Miss Priscilla Cadmy;
And with the help of smiles and nods
I fell in love at fogy roils,
And there is where she had me.
When I was older, say sixteen,
I thought it time to have a queen,
And asked her If she'd wed me;
She said she didn't much object,
Or words to something tEat effect,
And there was where she had me
But when to make the matter straight,
I went up to negotiate
Aflairs with Colonel Cadmy,
He said he "didn't care to sell."
He told me I might go to—well,
And that was where he had me.
I 44ppymid my aorrov lathe cup
Unfli I got my dander up
(I couldn't have been madder) ;
When she proposed that we be ono
In spite of pa—the thing was done,
Aud that was av t here I had her.
Two lovely urchins on my knee
I'm proud to say belong to me
(That is, to me and madam) ;
For when we left our native sod,
We spent a year or two abroad—
And that was where we had 'em
"I do wish, ,, said Mrs. Prudence Hall,
holding her darning-needle in mid-air for
a moment over the coarse blue sock she
was mending—" I do wish you could see
your way clear to marrying Sctli Hallett.
He wants you the worst kind, and he'd be
such a good provider."
" But I don't like him well enough,
Prudy, and I want something besides
meat and drink and two calico dresses a
year."
Mrs. Prudence Pall had sprained her
ankle, and was forced, solely against her
will, to sit, day after day, in an upper
chamber, with a terrible consciousness that
everything about the farm was relapsing
into "chaos and old night" for want of
her oversight.
Her pretty sister Dora had come to stay
with her, but she was "only a child, you
know."
"There are two kinds of love in this
world," said Mrs. Hall, after a pause, in
which she had been taking council with
herself whether Dora was old enough to
be talked to on sucli'matters at all and it
flashed upon her that "the child" was
nearly twenty years old. "Perhaps you
like Seth well enough to marry him, only
you don't know it."
"Tell me about the 'two kinds,' " said
Dora, innocently; " I thought love was
love the world over."
" I have never known but one kind, I
think, Dora. When I married David he
was the most well-to-do young man in
these parts, and we never had a quarrel
while he lived. 'He was a good, practical
sort of a man, and never asked me t. do
anything unreasonable."
"What if hit had?" asked Dora.
NOTES, &O
" Well, I guess I should have argued
him out of it. But there is a kind of love
that will draw women through fire and
water. It makes them throw themselves
away on poor, shiftless men who will
never provide for them nor their children,
and they know it as well as anybody else
does. It is the greatest wonder to me
why such a feeling-should ever have been
created." And Mrs. Prudence gave her
self up to one rare moment of abstraction.
Dora had bent low over her work to hide
her roguish smiles at her sister's discourse;
but she fixed her deep grey eyes on Pru
dence at this point, not smiling, but sim
ply earnest.
Such love Lrings happiness sometimes,
I suppose," said Dora.
" Next to never," said Prudence, re
covering her wonted decision with a jerk.
We ain't born to be happy, and anything
that's too good always leaves a bad taste
in the mouth. Comfort is a bird in the
hand, and you don't gain anything by
letting it fly on the chance of happiness."
" Did you ever know any one alma here,
Prudence, who threw herself away for
love? It seems to me they won't look at
a man unless he has a house and farm
ready for them."
"That's where they're right," said
Prudence. "You are rather given to high
tlyin' notions, and it's time you found ou
that bread don't grow ready buttered.
Yes, I do know one girl about my age,
who was pretty and smart, and had no
end of chances of getting married (I think
my David courted her some, but he never
would own to it,) and she would have
that shiftless' creature, Jre 'Raymond,
who never would make one hand wash the
other. Even when she was a dying she
pretended that she had been happy, and
wouldn't have done any other way if she
had to do it over again."
"Was she our Joe's mother?" said
Dora, quickly.
" Yes ' to be sure; and . when she died
we took him to bring up, and work upon
the farm. He's more than paid his way,
but he's a rolling stone like his father,
and won't never come to anything. I for
got to tell you—he's going to-morrow."
"Going to-morrow!" said Dora, with a
great start; " I thought his time wasn't
out for another month?"
1868.
" Well, It, ain't out rigidly till the day
be's twenty-one, but he was is such a
in who shall have borne the battle, and
ow and his orphan, to do all which may
td cherish a just and a lasting peace

hurry to te off that I gave him the last
i mouth."
Then silence fell upon them. These
two women had the same father and
mother, though a score of years lay be
tween them. Prudence had been born in
the early married life of her parents, when
they wge struggling with a hard New
England farm, and there was work for
even baby hands.
The lines of duty and patience were
deep graved in her rugged face, which yet
beamed with a kindly•common-sense.
Dora had come late to her mother in life,
us an old tree sometimes blossoms into
loveliness after every one has forgotten it.
Her little feet had walked in easy paths,
and Prudence yearned over her like a
mother.
She sat now by the open fire, betiding
her graceful head over some delicate work
that Prudence would never have found time
for; her red dress and the flickering fire
light made her a picture too lovely for
that dull room.
Prndence," she said, suddenly, "as
this is Joe's last night, I think go
down and say good-by to him. ,,
" You might call him up here."
" No, I think I will go myself."
"I believe I haven't ever told you, Do
ra, how much you pleased me by giving
up that childish way of going on with him
that you used to have. It did very well
for you to be fluid of each other when you
were children, but of course it is out of the
question now."
It r.:ight have been the red dress and
the tire -light that brought a vivid flash to
Dora's cheek as she listened and turned
away.
She ran lightly down stairs and opened
the door of the great farm kitchen.
A young man sat by the dull lire, look
ing into it as one looks into the eyes of an
enemy before the light ;an over-grown
farmer boy in home-made clothes, with
nothing about him to fall in love with,
least of all fur the brilliant little figure that
waited for him to look up; but he was- too
intent on his own thoughts. She went
swiftly across the room, and taking his
head between her soft hands, turned his
face to hers.
"Joe,
bad boy, were
: you going away
without letting me know?"
The hard lines of his face softened and
brightened under her gaze till one would
not have known him for the same man.
" I thought I should not see you to
night," he said.
" You know better; you know I would
have crept through the keyhole for ono
last little minute with you."
Ile set her quietly on his knee, as if it
were her usual place.
" How long will you wait for me, Dora?"
" Till you come back."
"1f it were seven years, think how long
it would be."
"If you loved as you make believe,"
said Dora, " you would not go away at
all, but work here till you could build a
little house, and then we would rough it
together."
" No, little Dora, that isn't my kind of
love; my mother tried that, and she lived
a slave's life. I will go away somewhere
—I don't care where—and when I can
give you as good a home as you have al
ways had—"
" Dora ! Dora !" called Prudence from
up stairs; "what on earth are you doing
down there?"
" I must go now, I must truly," said
Dora, as she found herself locked in an
en►brance that would not let her go. "If
I live without you for seven years I shall
be a homely old timid, and you will not
thank me for waiting for you."
lie put her away then, and looked at
her curiously, as if he had never thought
of her looks before.
"Do you know what your name means?"
he said earnestly. •` I saw it in the paper
that Theodora means Gift of God," and
you have been that to me. If I had never
seen you I should never have had a notion
above a day's work and a night's sleep.
It isn't your looks I love, but you do look
very pretty. Perhaps it is the red dress."
Thank you," said Dora, with a. smile
trembling through tears.
"I will write when I have any luck,"
said Joe ; " and come home on New rear's
eve, when I do come; and if you wear this
red dress I shall know you have waited
for me."
" I think I shall live to wear it when
ever you come home, if it be seven times
seven years, Joe, for women are very hard
to kill."
With another long embrace they parted,
and Dora went up to her sister's room.
" What have you been doing all this
time !" said Prudence, severely.
" I was only giving Joe sonic, good ad
vice."
Well, I hop ; he'll profit by it."
" So do I," said Dora, heartily.
'Tis as easy to say seven years as one ;
and we read of Jacob's seven years' ser
vice for Rachel, which seemed as one day
foi' the love he bore her.
Rachel's feelings are not thought worthy
to mention in the Holy Writ; but if her
love was like Dora's, every clay seemed
seven years. And here, in a nutshell, lies
the difference between man's love and
woman's.
.1 1 hcob had the sheep to mind, and ha
did wind them uncommonly well ; Joe
went to seek his fortune in new scenes,
and only thought of Dora when he had
nothing else to do. The poet thought he
had set a hard task to men when he said:
"Loom to labor and to watt;'
but it is immeasurably harier to be idle
and wait.

ing to the removal of the national capital
West.
PoTAToEs are lower in price to-day
than they have been for a number of years.
So with everything else, except coal; which
is kept up in the main by Democratic mon
opolists. What party makes hard times?
AN editor has been fined for lying about
Andy Johnson. Too bad; the more lies
told about him, the better his political
character will appear, The truth is what
" sets him back'' in the estimation of
honest folks.
PEasiiimi is but a fourth rate lawyer
and his only merit even in copperhead
eyes is his bitter partisanship. A bitter
partisan and devoid of the legal attain
ments required for the °thee, his election
would be a lasting disgrace to the State.
THE RAIN OF SNAKES in Tennessee
must have been a shower of copperheads,
judging from the election returns. One
of the serpents bit a darkey and killed him.
Had a copperhead been bitten, the snake
would have died, instead of the inan.
A GEORGIA correspondent of the Selins
grove Times has determined to leave
Augusta and remove to Baltimore. Too
many radicals and negroes in Georgia to
suit him, and he th:•refore intends moving
further North, where rebels do much more
abound.
A Columbus (Ohio) dispatch says:
" General ltosecrans' dispatch declining
the Democratic nomination for Governor
fell like a wet blanket on the Democracy.
It has terribly demoralized them. De
feat stares them in the face, and they
freely acknowledge it.
SINCE the inaguration of General Grant
the national debt has been reduced over
forty millions of dollars; or about eight
millions of dollars per month. Under
Johnson it was increasing at about the
same rate. The reason is that Grant is
collecting the revenue and executing the
law, while Johnson did neither.
Prs a curious fact that in a Democratic
Convention the votes of the candidates
varied in proportion to their `'pile."
Packer, worth twenty,millions, was nomi
nated; Cass, worth two millions, had focty
eight votes; Hancock's military record
gave him twenty-one, and Gen. McCand
less, with his creditable military record,
because he was poor, could only get five
votes.
THE Beaver Radiral having erroneous
ly, or playfully, stated that the name of
Colonel Mutchler, the Chairman of tbe
Democratic State Committee was wrong
ly printed—that it should be Misher, and
that he was proprietor of "Mishler's
Stomach Bitters," the Clearfield Journal
says: " It may possibly prove a healthier
tonic for Democrats, than the rot-gut they
generally use. They need something to
strengthen them badly."
GOVEUNOR GEARY is the standard
bearer of the party thai, has stricken the
shackles from the slave, delivered the
country from the tyranny of a purse-proud
aristocracy and placed her first among
the nations of the earth. No true patriot
hesitates as to his duty. The destinies of
our State cannot be handed over to the
fossils of a past age. Geary, the gallant
soldier, the upright statesman and faithful
Governor, must and will be re-elected.
Is THERE one member of the Demo
cratic Convention which nominated him
wilt doubts that Packer bought his way
through that convention? Cass had 81
delegates on Tuesday afternoon, and on
Wednesday morning Sam Josephs, Bill
McGrath, Billy McMullin, and more of
that set had induced a sufficient number
of these to change their minds to nominate
Packer by a vote of just sixty-seven. No
waste of the raw material tlnrel Not one
vote too many was secured. Sixty-seven
were needed, and just sixty-seven were
bagged.
TuE Democratic party presents a beg
garly dish of Virginia abstractions, blood
stained and spotted with the leprosy of
treason and political death—a record of ne
gations, dissatisfaction, imbecility—in
which you discover not one thing that
gratifies the eye, warms the heart, or nicets
the approval of the judgment. For a num
ber of years it has been stricken with pov
erty of resources, feebleness of purpose,
submission to had principles, and has
been incapable of producing or proposing
any great or good thing.
GEN GEARY has been a soldier in two
wars—in the war with Mexico and in the
war with rebellion. An officer in both
wars, noted for skill and bravery in every
command he held, in every action he
fought. As Governor of Kansas, as Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, and, we may add,
as military Governor of Savannah, he has
exhibited administrative talent of the
highest order, and never failed in fidelity
to duty. Such is the record o! the Repub
lican candidate—one which his friends are
proud of, and which his enemies cannot
