To droop or falter never mnro
From Main'a fr bminiPrbi tn the seas
That roll upon IneTexap shore,
Our fjaing li08t cud on in-might

And with broken front unite,
And form along the battle field-

In crried phalanx dense and deep,
Resolved and firm and undismayed,
As OreBn wives resistless sweep,
T,hey match with Truth's bright shield

And still jhey .eame.' The gathering

From host to diitant hot along,
Far Polk! for Dallas! Victor! !
The Whig look on with wild amase,
With pale despair in ey&ry oye,
And vainly hope 1.0 quench the blaze
That lean, a,.J (lashes through the sky.
In vain they hoist their frowzy flag,
And flap their coon skins through tht

In vain they drinlj, and shout and brag;
Unfaltering still 'our ilag is there!'
Soon o'er the field of conflict won,
Above the foe's elernal grave,
In vic'ry'a bright a:.d cloudless sun

And'.Man from every distant clime,
From every shore and every sea,

The gloiious birthright of the Ireo.
Democracy! what joy shall pour

When at the idol's shrine no more
Shall basely '' bend the mind:
When owls, and cats, and coon skins.all
Shall pass as lopg forgotten' things,
And radiant o'er the land shall fall
The day thai truth and freedom brings!

In ihe town ot Liiiculu there lived
ami ye rs ago a mm of the name of
a hunv, who, having served in lli-
army,had retired at the close of the war
upon a small pension. He belonged to
what is commonly called a good family,
was proud of this relationship, and hav
ing dissipated his little patrimony, and
made ad ill-assorie.l marriage, had enter
ed Ihe army, not with the desire to serve
btii as the only means he had of finding
lo-day's or to-morrow's bread. Alier
many struggles between poveriy anil
pride, and debt and disgrace, he settled
in uincoln, wnen ho was some years
past middle life. Here the old course
was run. Fine houses were taken, fine
appearances made; but ihesc, unlike the

nade this young child no dnworlhy

minister. Tom was not half so resoluli
is Bridnet, nor so capable of endu
ranco.
The elder hi olhcrs left home when
Hridtrel and Tom were not more than
eleven and eiaht years old. No lov
had been fostered between these cldei
iiul vouimer children; yet in Ihe heait
of Bridget much love was galhered.Nnw
that they were alone, the children were
more together, the tioiuenoiu urutiger)
was shared belween them, as well asjlln
cares and sorrows of their miserable
homo, and the stolen play round tht
minsier aisles, where many, who des

the momentary want, Captain l'athlow
(as he was called) denied Bridget any
better education tnan suon as wai auuru

were sixpence; but the had a kind

For the resl no one had a right lointei-

uunlry town, in a gay street, standing
i rion a scrupulously clean step, knock
ing upon a very bright knocker, not on
ly for her own admittance, but for thai
f the scantily freighted box. A de
mure looking servant appeared, who,
taking into her mistress the introducto
ry letter which the elder Pathlow had
indited, being as he had said, the fishinu I
hooji whereby lo catch the fih, left the
Lincoln girl to a full hour's doubt as to
whclher she would have lo retrace her
way to Lincoln, or be leceived as Iht
poor dependent. It seemed that hei
unexpected arrival had created much
diicussion; for loud voices were heard
in the neighboring parlor. The dispute,
rising into a slqrm, was only stayed by
llndgel's being ofiiercu into ilie pres
ence of the bereaved widow, who.being
of a subrlanlial form, sat in a capacious
, with a plentiful supply of lawn
before her weeping face. She was sur
rounded by several relatives, each of
whom had children lo recommend; but
wishing lo exhibit her power, and tri
umph over their greedy expectations
she rose, and throwing herself upon the
isionished girl's Ojck. made visible elec
tion o'f a dependent. Foiled in their
purposes the relations disappeared. Thr
widow, like a child pleased wilh u toy,
made for a wliile mueh of Ihe poor .Lin
coln girl; old dreusra were remodelled,
old bonnets cunningly trimmed, bygone
fnshions desennled on, lill,4to croWfJrl?r
vvhole,ihe girl wished, back .the Xin,col,n
rags, rather than walk tne streets,1,o. be
azed al by every passer-by. fa (his
matter there was no appeal; there .never
is against dogged self opinion or selfish
cunning. Pleased with having one on
whom to wreck a world of spile, the
widow soon changed her first show of
kindness to taunts, reproaches propor
tionate lo the loneliness and dependence
oi the child, Months went hy wiihnu'
one solitsry gleam of happiness, for
books or learning were forbidden ;idded
to all Ihis, loo, were perpetual secret
letters from her home, urging her io
send money, but there was no ineai) tie-
in Bridget, she could endure, but no
crave unworthily. Tliips had gone, pn
thus for a twelve monli, when one win
ters day the widow came back after a
vyeek's absence a gay bride, and thai
same night Bridget was tent back on
her way to Lincoln, wilh five shillings
in her pocket over and above ho coach
hiro.
Bridget had a fellow passenger, who,
having travelled far and being young,
and troubled with a child, was much '
pleased wilh Ihe thousand litile kind
nci-ses lht Ihe girl peifurmcd, so that
before the journey lo London Was ended I
vast friendship, ,Was established be
tween them. They paited wilh much
regret; for, lo one like Bridget, so lone
ly, so destitute of friends, (he more scm
bianco of kindness was a treasure in
itself. She had sat some, lime in tho
office walling or' Iho Lincoln cfch
not without comfort, for the bodkkeeji
eYttad stirred up the office fire, snd.s ,,
peciing- m?r scanry purie, liml apppl cfl,
her wilh a glass of warm nle and -a -toast
when a pale Lut respectable looking "
man entered, saying thai he was tl o
husband of Bridget's fellow passenger.
snd come to offer her the comfort of his
home for a day or so, as a return for her
Kindness to his wife and child. After
some little deliberation Bridget accepted
the offer, for she dieuded lb ibiurn
homo without having written lo say
that she was coming; so an hour aftei
wards Bridgdsal wilh Ihe baby on her
knee by the si Ie of her fellow-passen-
gr, in a comfor'able second floor
room in a slreel leading from Long A-
cre. Never wis there such a lea pre
ped as on this memorable nighl, never
tuch a hearth, never such a baby, nevor
nich a happy young wife, never kush
wandering Bridget, for here seemed tiio
visible presence of all riches her heait
tiad ever craved, here, in this working
chamber of a Long Acre herald painter.
Here, loo, without wealth was the pow
er ol mind made visible; here, in this
chamber of the srtuan. A few chean
books nicely arraigned, a iaw piints,
rich pannelled esculchtons.and cunning
tracery, that brought to mind old things
m Lincoln minsier, covered the walls.
These thingj stood out like Ihe broad
written words of hope and perseve
rance. Bridget had never been bo happy.

Ution io return; and when il said that
Tom had left Lincoln, Bridget had no
desire lo do so. Tho stay of a few days
was lengthoned into one of months; fur
when her good friehds knew her history
all oi it, saving her love of art they
could but pity, when pity ripening into
estimation as her character became more
known, turned friendship into love.
We draw no romantic character,but one
of real truth. Bridget was the busiest
ind cheet fulles:; up early, so that tha
hearth was clean, ihe breakfast ready,
ihe baby neatly dressed; and this not
lone for once, but always,so that Bridg
et became a necessary part of the house
hold at Long Acre. By and by, when she
was found to possess an antituO fof draw
ing, Trie arlimn ael busily to vfork, and by
ihe evening fire paiu obck, in teaching, her
honest service. An upturned cup, a book,
a jug, were drawn; and when these wero
perfect, things of greater difficulty were
sketched. Her progress wat but slow, yet
so perfect, thai in a few months' time she
was a real help to her minster;aud when ho
fell into bad health, and had to " work at
home, she assisted to bring bread to Mint
poor household. The artisan greW no bet
