The pine Old Federal Gentleman.
Tum--Lucy
Now Demoorats, just listen,
.r.Theirhile we sing a song,
About a fine old gentleman •
Arounitwhotie flag you throng; , •
nice old bachelor
Of three score years end more,
And, like old Grimes, he wears a coat
"AU buttoned down before."
'But tie is not the lucky man
To take the chair of State ;
'Tie Fremeit—the AMERICAN ;
Poor Jimmy, he's too late.
That enat !--tho' "buttoned down before,"
Turns often on his back • •
'Twos Federal blue in , days of yore,
"fienOw Nebraska black ;
And every time it takes a change
Ita shade the people scan, •
For by it they can surely judge
The color of the man,
• But he is not the lucky man, &c.
This fine old man, we have been told,
Out, troubled in his brains—
And dream'd some Democratic drops
Were coursing through his veins;
It troubled him by night and day—
-0( this there is no doubt—
Ile tho't it , would his stock disgrace,
And swore he'd lit it out I
But ho is not the tricky man, itc.
Perhaps this is the reason that
lie 'never in WS file
Dare take unto his lonely self •
Some fair one for a wife,
For fear some Democratic blood
His offspring might impure,
Fur, Yankee girls, 'tie understood,
Are Democratic—sure.
But he is not the lucky mun, &c.
•
Ten cents a day lie thinks enough .
The laboring man to earn,
Thus in the pockets of the rich
Ile would his favors turn ;
The working men must be.kept down,
The nabob mutt have swab
And laws enacted for the rich
The poor man must obey.
But ho is not the lucky man, &e.
Now, all who labor for your bread,
We'll tell you what to do--
Go vote for our American,
lle's to your interest truo;
He is himself a working man,
And sure will never go
To pay you but a dime a day,
As Jimmy did, you know.
For FIiEIfONT IS the lucky man
To take tae chair of State ;
He is the great AMSSICAX,
And true as he is great.

Pei/usual Beauty.
Just about the last inheritance which a
parent should wish a chiltl,--wether male
or female—is personal beauty. It is a
bout the poorest kind of capital to start in
the world with. Who ever saw a beauty
worth the first red cent r . We mean wint
the world calls beauty, tor there ib i ts beau
ty more than skin deep, which the world
does not fully recognize: It is not that
of which we speak. But the girl 'whom

and about—We should sr soon a child
of ours should be not quite en beautiful.
And then our handsome young, man over
and about whom all the • foolish Reboot
girls are in weeks, what chance has he
of ever being anybody T A and destroy
er of ambition is beauty. From being
tined for the shallow pates of the other
sex who can appreciate nothing else, they
become content with a low standard of
attainment, and ate happy only when
dancing attendance upon those who are
phased with their insipidity..
The laugh of Woman.
A womtli has no natural gilt more be
'twitching than a s wam laugh. It is like
the sweet sound of flutes on the water. It
leaps from the 11.. art in a clear sparkling
rill ; and' the heart that hears it, feels as if
bathed in the cool, exhileratiog spring.—
Have you ever pursued au unseen fugitive

wandering voice to,thia, day,

It will be noticed that these baptisms of
Col. Fremont's children were net perform.
ed privately, but publicly in the Church,
before all the world who chose to look on,
to listen to the vows of the , parents and
sponsors that they should be brought UP
in the faith
,of the church. Among the
sponsors of these children were Col. Ben
ton, Kit C,trson, Capt. Lao, U. B. N.,
Francis P. Blair, and Col. Fremont biol.: .
self, (a sttong point, as a Catholic could
not promise such things;) and,3lr. Blidr, •
who has known Col. Fremont for many
years intimately, is astonished at the per. ;

olic against his 'will, when ,ho,. hat known
him always to be a Protestant aud hl4 roc,

I may add as a c singular noinoideneri
