Michael dear, and did you hear The news that's in the tewn; The Democrats arc rising up, The Rails are sinking down t When negro-lovers heard the news It drove them to dispair, To think the men our people chose Were Seymour and Frank Blair. Oh ! when the word came from New York. That Seymour was the head, And Blair the next one in command' They knew that Grant was dead ; They shook their wool-dyed pates and cried, Oh ! cruel, cruel Fate, Our men wont be elected In November, "sixty-eight." Oh! Mike it does mc good to see The lying, thieving knaves, Who since they set the negro free, Have tried to make us slaves. It does me good to hear them growl, Like a lion in his lair, When they see upon our flags the names Of Seymour and Frank Blair. And they will emigrate yext March To Africa's black shore, And with them take the "woolly heads," The darlings they adore; For they know their death is near at hand, And on the coffin-plate Will be the words "Died in the wool," In November, "sixtv-eigLt." Then, Mike, let all our countrymen Unite with heart and hand, And crush this hatred Tyranny I In our adopted land. Our gallant ship "Democracy" Will sail on. never fear, With two such men upon our deck As Seymour and Frank Blair. We will stand upon the platform, And our motto It shall be : The statesman true and soldier brave, God, right ami victory. We want no negro governor In this or any State ; We want white men, and we will have them, In November "sixty-eight." A THRILLING SKETCH. In the j< ar 1836, the inhabitants living n a district bordering on Rock River. in the northern part of the State of Illinois, wire much incensed by the depredations of a band of horse thieves who infested that portion of the country. Every exer tion had been made to discover the men engaged in the nefarious business, but liitberto in vain, and valuable animals were stolen, and lost to their owners, in defiance of the utmost vigilance and care. During such a state of affairs, the citi zens residing in the region of the thieves became thoroughly excited, ant were! wound up in such a pitch ot indignation, j that a bodv of men were formed style I Rangers, whose explicit duty was to ex punge the district of all suspicious charac ters, and endeavor to put a stop to tiieir dtpteilatiorrs. Shortly after the band commenced oper ations word was conveyed to the leader of the Rangers that a valuable horse which bad been stolen the night previous, could then be found on the premises of a man named Bint, locked up in a stable. Al though IRirt heretofore had been looked upon as an honest man and an upright citizen, yet the Captain deemed it his du ty to at least examine his firm and learn the truth or falsity of the report. Accordingly he summoned some half dozen of his Rangers to meet him at a [ SDOI not far fioin Burt's bouse, and before i morning, set out for the same place him i self. Daylight was hardly discernible in the east, and the hazy ligbt <>t coming dawn bad not yet penetrated the bottom, where the suspected mm resided, as th>- Rangers, charged with the fearful mission of life or death, silently approached, and stirtounded the dwelling. Leaving three of the band to guard the entrance, the Captain and the others went to the ham, opened the door, and'jfoui.d the missing 1 horsp, as had been stated safely i-talled 1 inside. Not a lingering doubt now remained, of Butt's guilt, and with a stern determi • nation, to make an example of him that 1 would deter others from a like transac tion. the Rangers returned to the house. In the meantime, Burt had risen, and tip on coming to the door, was seized by those in waiting, and upon demanding the rea -1 son was informed by them that a stolen ; animal was found in bis ttahle, and lhat jhe was considered a thief. Muttering j something about "he knew it would come jto this at last," he quietly submitted to , whatever his captors had in store for him. i A short consultation was held and it was resolved to hang the criminal upon a | large elm tree that grew in front ofh's own house, it being tho't that such an act would strike terror and dismay into the ranks of the horse thieves. Burt had a-ked half an hour to prepare for his death, and the sun had risen tn all i its golden majesty, ere the fatal moment i had arrived which would launch him into ! eternity. Tn vain his grayheaded father i and mother pleaded for his life, with • trembling tongues—and kneeling in sup pliant mood to his apparently merciless captors. In vain the wife of his hosont knelt in tears of agony, and intteate I them as husbands to spare his life; for each Ranger had suffered more or less in person and they deemed the example absolutely i necessary to deter others, and it set-mud as though Burt must die. The dreadful pieparatincs were com pleted—the half hour hid expired —and the criminal was arranged under the limb of a stout elm, over which a rope was th'own one end being noosed around the prisoner's neck, and the other held by three of the Rangers. Then came a moment of dreadful si lence, that awful st.lines which preludes j th Itqacbipg of a fellow-being in- " To Speak his Thoughts is Every Freeman's Right. " to eternity—while the three strong men w' oh id the tope's end gszed fixedly up on the Captain for the signal. It was giv en by raising the right hand; and already the noose was tightening aroutul the doomed man's neck, when the wife of I'urt issued forth from the house holding an infant, a little more than a year old, in her a ms. Rushing forward, she fell on Iter knees directly in front of the Captain, and raising the child with arms outstretch, toward him she exclaimed, in tones that would have pierced a heart of steel— "lf you will not spare him for the sake of his grayliaircd sire or the wife of his boso.n, spare hint in the name of God, for the sake of his infant boy ! Another dead silence reigned like a pall over the spot; then, as though inspired by Iteavi n itself, the child also stretched out its little arms towards its father, and ex claimed, in a voice heard by all, the sin gle word : "Papa!" An>l then, as though despairing of suc cess, huddled into its mother's bosom, arid burst into a sobbing cry. It was more than the rangers could stand, and after a short consultation, the rope was taken fiom the criminal's neck, and the band left the spot: and Burt be came a reformed man through the power ful effects of his "InfanCs Appeal."— Great Wtsl. QIKKN- VICTORIA DESCENDED FROM A GOVKRNXSS. — v\'e take the following from the London correspondence of the San Francisco Ghi onide: It is not, we believe, generally known, at least in American (and Englishmen may like to ignore the fact), that the an cestrv of the Queen of England can be traced hack to a "fair and frail" governess The poet Chaucer fell in love with and married a Miss Swynford. When John of Gaunt became a widower for the second tune, Mrs. Chaoeer's beautiful sister Cath erine was engaged as the governess of his children. Two other childrt-n Sprang up about the domestic hearth—a son and a daughter. After a time they were legiti matized, and John of Gaunt tardily placed a wedding ring upon the finger of their mother, U atLertue Swynford, The eldest of these children was John of Ileanford : his son was Duke of 8 >mmeret ; tl.e Duke's daughter Margaret married • the Fail of Richmond (' enry VII.) ; from Margaret of Scotland came James V Marv Queen of Scots, Jatnos VI., Queen of Bohemia, Electress Sophia.

A FEW MAXIMS FOR YOUNG GIRLS. Never make your appearance in the morning without having first brushed and arranged your hair, and dressed yourself neatly mid completely. Kepp your clothing in pet feet order. Never let pins do the duty as buttons, or strings take th" place of prorpef bands. Examine every girment when it comes from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it with nearness and precision. Do not sew up the bol*s in your stockings, as we have seen fOtne careless, untidy girls do, but take in a broad margin around the hole, be it small or large, with a fine darning needle and darning cotton, and cover the fracture with an intctlaeh *tich, so close as to be strong as the body of the stocking, and fine enough to he ornamental, i Train vourself to useful occupation, Re member it is wicked to waste time, and i nothing gives such an impression of vani j ty and absolute silliness- as a habit of i idling and never having anything to do. It you are in your fathet's house, take some d' partmont of household- labor upon yourself, and a part of the sewing, and make it your business to attend to it. Do not let a call from this idle girl, or a visit from lhat, or an invitation from the other interfere with the performance of your duty. If you can cultivate to perfection some art by which you could gain an an inde pendent livelihoond, do it whether there is a necessity for it or not. Do it quietly, if yon will, but do it.—There is no telling when or under what circumstances you may need it.. FQYWUO TUB TRUE SOLDIERS VOTK FOR —For whom will Gen. Geo. B. McClellan vote ?

A writer in the Prairie Farmer has an article on this important topic : This is a question that sooner or later comes np for discussion in nearly every well-regulated family. We insist upon it, that, as a name is the only legacy half the parents in the world •give their children, some pains should l>e takrn in its selection, since in more cases than one, a name once worn can be dis posed of only with great difficulty. Perhaps we can best determine what to name the babv by stating what not to name it, and giving the reasons therefor. To commence then, we would say that the ba by should not be named for one of its pa rent*. For a boy or man to attach "Juni or" to his name for half a lifetime, is cer tainly a very great inconvenience in more ways than one. Equally objectionable i> it to name a daughter for her mother, since nothing sounds more fitting in out ears than to hear aw ife called by her sweetheart name long after the bloom ot youth has faded. The hale old wife of sixty, who is called by the name by which she ts wbed and won, is a wife beloved. Away with the false notion that gives a title to a husband and wife. Again, !<• have two names in the same family is to have an inconvenience and a means of producing confusion. Conferring names which are certain to be nick named, is very objectionable. To call a boy Joseph, is to insure his being called "Joe." There are also a large num h'-r of names that go upon the baptismal register and are never heard of afterward*. Very long names are sure to be clipped, as there is a universal disposition to short en the words in common use, A great abundance of name, such as are conferred on the scions of nobility, ha* many objections. In business transactions there is a liability to omitsotpc of these many names or to get thein or their abbre viations transposed, thereby causing un certainty as to who is im-ant. With a number of names to choose from, a person is liable to le differently designated by different persons. We know a man in tni citv who has so many initials before hi sttrname that they are generally confensed into oue word, and he rajoices in the cog nomen of "Alphabet" If the family or surname is one in fre quent use, like Jones or Smith, do not give the baby a verp common name to go with it, such a* James or John; because, in large towns it may be very difficult l" ascertain from the long list on the directo ry who is meant. Titer are ninty six aduh John Smiths in this city, sixty-four ot whom have no distinguishing name. Think of a rii:-h to the postoffice when the name appears on the list of advertised letters ! Imagine how many wives and mother* are anxious when they read that John Smith has been arrested, is drowned, or is missing. By all means, choose simple names of euphotifous sound and about which clus ter pleasant associations. AFRAID OF EXPOSURE. It is not much wonder the Radicals are frightened out of tiieir wits a', the pros pect of defect. It is not surprising that thev liemble when they hear shouts of the people for Seymour. The rascals fear ex posures. For nerly eight long years they Lave been practicing frauds, robberies and villainies upon the poeple, and they know and fee'- that they deserve punishment,— Let the Democrats obtain power, and our word for it exposure will be made that will astound men ot'ali parties. The Radical conspirator.* know this, and they know that their defeat n>w will be an everlast ing defeat. Hence their zeal to save them selves from the (loom that awaits thein But they iuay as well make np their minds that the people can no longer be trifled with or deceived. The god* have decreed that this rotten, trcasnriabl, theiving Rad ical faction is to be pot down and kept down. It is not possible for the taxpayers of this country to submit longer to the in tolerable, extravagance, gross corruption and open treason of this infamous faction. The nomination of Grant by the Radi cals is the best evidence of the decay of their party, When the old Whig party grew weak—when it had lost the confi dence of the people—its adherents tiied to save it from defeat by nominating the brave old Scott as their candidate for Pres ident. They then, as now. attempted to ignore the issues before the people; they i recounted the many battles Gen. Scott i had fought, pointed to his bleeding wounds,; and asked the people to vote for him • be- j cause of his military services. But the an swer came back from mountain and valley: "No !we respect lien. S> ott a9 n mili tary man, but have no confidence in the men who surround him and who will con trol should he be placed in the Presidetial chair. lie is not fit for a high civil posi tion, and we will not give him our votes." This wa, in substance, their answer. Gen. Scott was disastrously defeated. Gen. Grant will meet the fate of Scott; he will he, defeated by about the same majority. Like Scott, he is "not fit for a high civil position." Many doubt whether he is fit for anything except to puff sugars. Hi* military character will not bear inves tigation, for tlie more it is looked at the ! Worse it looks Let men of all parties, I therefore, who love their country and its institutions, fall in with the popular cur rent and assist to swell the majority for , the people's candidates, Seymour aqd | Blair, They are men of character, one a Democrat, the other a Conservative Re publican, who loves his country over par ty—Fall in then, patriots, and make the w&Uiip ripg for Seymour nd Blir. TWO SHARPERS. A uoted spoitsmau, taking dinner ! one of our clubs, exhibited a diat tond ring of great beauty and apparent value on his finger. A gentleman present had a great passion for diamonds. Aiter din ner, the parties met in the offf e Atter much bantering, the owner consented to barter the ring for the sum of six hundred dollars. As the buyer left the room a suppressed tittering struck his ear. He concluded that the former owner had sold both his ring and the purchaser. He said nothing, but called the next day upon a jeweler, w.here he learned that the dia mond was paste, and the ring worth about twenty five-dollars. lie examined rome real diamonds, and found one closely re sembling the prtste in his own ring, lie h red the diamonds for a few days, pledg ed twelve hundred dollars, the p-iee of it, and gave a hundred dollars for its use. — He went to another j> welr, had the paste removed, and the real diamond set. His chums, knowing lie had been impose! up on. impatiently waited for his appearance I the next night. To their astonishment [ they found him in high glee. lie flour ished his ring, boasted of his bargain, and said if any gentlemen present had a twelve hundred dollar ring to sell for six hundred dollars, he kr'ew of a purchaser. When he was told that the ring was pa-te. and lhat lie had been cheated, he laughed at their folly. Bets were freely off* red that the ring did not contain a real diamond, — rwo men bet £I,OOO each, and two §SOO. All were taken. Umpires were chosen. — The money and the ring were put into tiieir hands. They went to a firstclasi jeweler, who applied all the tests, and who <aid the stone was a diamond of the first water, and was worth, without the setting, 51,'200. The buyer put the $-3,000 that tie had won into his pocket. He carried the diamond hick, and recalled his £1,200, and with his pate ring on his finger went ! to his club. The man who sold the ring 1 was waiting for him. lie wauted to get | the ring hack. He attempted to turn the i whole thing into a joke. Lie sold the ring, he sa'd. for tun ; he knew it was a ! real diamond all the time ; he never wore j false jewels; he could tell a real diamond any where by its peculiar light; he would net be so mean as to cheat an old friend ; tie knew his friend would let l.ira have . his ring hack again. But his friend was stubborn, said that the seller thought it ' was paste, and intended to defraud him. 1 At length, on the payment of eight hun- ' dred dollars, the ring was restor d. All patties cante to the c.hclu>ion, when the whole affair came out, tlt at when diamond cuts diamond again, some one le.-- sharp i will be selected. Milthew Hale Smith.

So sooner had she done this when otf . went the snow, poor minister and all, and up went iiis wife. Thus, on side of the ' barn the astonished and confounded clergy -1 man hung, while on the other side hung his wife, high and dry, in majesty sublime, dangling at the other end of the rope.— At that moment, however, a gentleman passed by and delivered them from their , perilous situation. -V stu.gy husband accounted for all the , tile blame of the lawlessness of his chil dren in company, by saying, his wife al wajs "g-ve them their own way."
