Trust biaj not, oh, gentle lady,
Though his vjice be low and sweet ;
Heed n-t hi:u who kueels before thee,
Softly pleading at thy feet.
Now thy life is in its morning,
Cloud not this thy happy lot,
Listen to the Oipey's warning
Gentle lady, trust hiin not.

Young and pure, and like the fair

Y et, he wooed, be wooed and won ber,
Filled ber tender heart with care,
Then, be beeded not her weeping,
lie oared not ber life to save ;
Soon she perishtd now slit's sleeping
In the cold and silent grave.
Lady, turn not from me so cottly,
For I have only told the truth ; ;
From a stern and withering sorrow,1
Lady, I wouid bhieid thy youth. '
I would shield thee from all danger,
Shield thee from Ihe lenirter's snare.
Lady, shuu the dark eyed stranger.

Take your gold, I do not want it,
Lady, 1 have prayed for this;
For the hour that I might foil bim,
And rob him of expected bliss.
Aye. I see thou art filled wi'h wonder
At my looks so fierce and wild
Lady, iu the church-yard, yonder,
Sleeps the U:psy's only child !

AX OLD INDICTMENT.
The Union State Convention adopted
the followiug iu 18G5, which holds a
yood now as it did then, that tie so-called
Democrats stood arraigned before the peo
ple of Pennsylvania for constantly ob
structiug the efforts of the Constitutional
authorities to maintain the life of the ca
tion. By inflaming the passions ci 'their ig-
uorant followers against the legally eletteil
officers of the Feoeial Government, and
refraining from all reproach against trea
son or armed traitors.
By procuring a decision from the Dem
ocratic judges of our Supreme Couit, de
nying the right of the Government to tha
services of the citizens of this Slate for
the defence of the imperiled country.
By di.-eouraging men from volunteering
into the armies of the Union ; thus ren
dering it necessary to succumb to treason,
or to pay large bounties, aud so burdening
every ward, township and borough in tha
State with debt to fill the ranks of ous
armies.
By opposing the enlistment of negroes
for our defense, although one white tcao.
less was required for every black one wha
could be euiisted, aud this at the very
momeut vi lien the? battle of Gettysburg
was railing on the soil of Pennsylvania,
aud that decisive battle was uncertaia.
By denjing to our soldiers the right to
vote while fighting for the fl:sg cf our
fathers, on the plea that such rights were
not allowed by oar Constitution, and by
opposiNg au amendment which removed
their objections and relieved our brava
soldiers from this disability.
By exaggerating the public indebted
ness, denying the public credit, and teach
ing tht tLe financial resources of the
north were unequal to the suppression of
the rebellion.
By a shameful opposition to measures
for extending relief to the families of
Union soldiers, aud by a malignant effort
by these means lo secure tho success of
the rebels in the fi j' J, or such a protrac
tion of the war as would cxh.ar.3t the na
tion in its effort to subJ'w their iiionds.
But now heaping abuse upon the Gov
ernment for vunishing assassins and their
accomplices, by demanding the release of
leading traitors, by frowning down all
al tempts to bring to punishment the fiends
who starved our soldiers, and by assuring
rebels that neither iu person or property
.-h:'ll they Le punished for their ciijiei.
And if anything were wanting to com
plete their irfamy, wc have it ia their ds-.
termined opposition to free hib jr, and to
a tariff which, while it would ni:.ko labor
profitable by protecia.' tu.3 workingrnca
of Pennsylvania fr-'-ra British coiiftitioa
would largely increase the revenue e
setitiu! to the D'aititaiuaoce of tho pubiio
faith and credit.
L':t this indictment le j Lc.d at tha
head of every loyal journal in tie State.
Its truths aro as strong to-day ns they
were a year act, aud in their name W9
cao agaiu wia a great vic'ory.
I A raving matiie was taken to
Utica, Xr. Y., last week, for treatment ia

and the terrible privations which he then,
suffered S3 shattered his constitution thai
he never fully recovers 1, and was finally
reduced to his piescnt pitiable condition.
