BY JOUJf G. SAXE. Ah well! we are wiser as last; The charming delnsion is over ; Your dream of devotion is past, And I am no longer a lover. Bnt darling, (allow me the phrase For simple civility's sake,) . Don't think, in this calmest of lays, I've any reproaches to make. Ah no ! not a querulous word Shall fall from my passionless pen; The sharp little scoldings you've heard 1 never shall utter again. But if in this final adieu, Too chilly for even a kiss, I venture a comment or two, You surely "won't take it amis3. I'm thinking, my dear, of the day (Well, habit i3 certainly queer, -And still, in a lover-like way, I all you my "darling" and "dear") I'm thinking, I say, of the time I vowed you were cha'rmingly clever, And raved of your beauty in rhjme, And promised to love you forever! Forever 1 a beautiful phrase, - Suggestive of heavenly pleasure, That rr-illions and millions of days Were wholly unequal io measure! And yet, as we sadly have seen, The case is remarkably clear, 'Tis a word that may happen to mean Rather less than a calendar year ! Yet I never have broken my vow, Although I admit that I swore . To love you forever, and uov; Confess that I love you no more ; For, since you're no longer the same, (Heaven pardon and pity us both!) .To be loving you now, I proclaim, Were really breaking my oath ! Personal Qualifies of President .in co I ii Speecli of Hon. Gd Yiat d EvereH. .At a graud banquet; given by the Mer chants of lioston in honor qf the officers of the Kearsare, on the evening of the 15th ult., the following was among the regular toasts : The Trerident of the United States Called for the second time to the most exalted office in the -gift of thn people, may he so adminis ter the high trust as to receive the support of the whole country, and restore to the Union the blessings of a speedy, honorable andlast ijg peace. Hon. Edward Kverctt was called upon to respond to this sentiment, when he arose aud spoke as follows : Mr. Ciiairmax: I am highly compli mented by being called upon to resoood , to the toust tn honor of the 1 resident- of the United States. Having already had an opportunity in Faneuil i 1 all of paying a iirateful tr:bue of respect to Caotuin ( able to do it justice, and confine myself to j ttre specific duty which you have assigned . nie. Ihe toast is one which l am sure will be welcomed by every gentleman at the table, whatever differences of political opinion may prevail here. You pay this mark of respect to the President, not as the successful candidate after a severely contested election, but as the constitution al head of the Government of the country, the supreme executive officer of the Uni ted States, the commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and the personal repre sentative of the people in the family of nations. In the honors you pay to the President, you honor yourselves; it is a becoming mark of respect on the part cf a people thus to recognize the object of the people's choice. This mark of respect 13 never withheld from the head of Government io England. Not only at homo in Great IJiitaiu, but in the world-encompassing circuit of her do minions, wherever a festive entertainment 13 held, me ncaun ot tue vaeen is m their flowing cups freshly Tcuiembered." It would be unbecoming, indeed, if hon ors chcerlully paid, irrespective of party, to an hereditary sovereign, were withheld from the chief magistrate of a ereat re public, elevated to that position by the voice of the people. The sovereign, who rules by the right of birth, has come iuto the world like the meanest of his subjects, but a civic act like that of this day week, byTwhich twenty-two '.millions of freemen; citizens of twenty-two States'associatcil in one great Republican Union, establish ed over a territory as vast as Europe, bave assembled on an appointed Bay, in . their respective tofrsy cities, and villages, after J an ardent'eanyass, with allthe excitements H insiow and Ins gallant associates, I snail I body, but his s-pceches in the senatorial leave this noble topic to ths gen tlemeti , congress were in no respect superior to who will follow me, and who are so well . Mr. Lincoln's. I believe the President a civil war kindling1 ihroQuhout -the country, and without lutuult, violence, or the display of military force, have elected the constitutional head of the State, is a spectacle cf morjl sublimity not surpassed' in the annals of the world ! Mr. Chairman I do not asree with those" who maintain that the idea of loy alty has no place in a republic. I regard it, on tbe contrary, as one of the elements of , the patriotic sentiment, which surely ! ought to prevail with augmeiitei force on the part of the citizens of a State, where all government ultimately rests.on popular choice. . Loyalty, iu fact, iu its primitive meaning, is leal ty to the law, and as such sureiy carries with it, as a necessary con- sequencethe duty of becoming respect, in their several dogbees, t j those who, on behalf of the people, make, administer aud execute the law. On any other oriueWdc. it would folio-that the marks of respect 1 -r . . . 1 paid to s. Jurcpean king aud queeu were paid, not to the oSce, but to the persons of the individuals. Now, though at the present time the throne of England is filled by a sovereign lady, who, by all the womanly not less than ail the quecnlv virtues is also enthroned in the hearts of her subjects, Mr. Thackeray's lecture on the four Georges are too well remembered not to prove either that loyalty is not a sentiment which mainly regards the per son of the sovereign, or if it is, that pub i: : t. 1.1 1 1 j - . iv cctiuuiuui iu xjiiiiiauu uurinir two e reigns to go no further -back must have been stranirelv misdirected. But I would not have it inferred, from these remarks,- that the President of the United States, in whose honor you have proposed the toast to which you.. have called nie to respond, is entitled to this mark of respect only in his official capac ity. Now that the struggle ia past, I am sure that no liberal-minded person, how ever opposed to him politically, (afld you now, tir, that 1 belong to "the Presi dent'.- opposition,") will be unwilling that, in performing the t!uiyyou have devolved upon me, I should say that I recognize in nm a lull measure ot-tne qualities which entitle him to the personal respect cf the K-opie, who have just given hiui a proof of their confidence, not extended to any ot his predecessors 111 this generation.- It is no smtll proof of this that he has passed througli the fcery ordeal of the recent canvass, and stood the storm of detraction rorn hundreds of vigorous and hot-tile presses, and had so little said against him (I speak now of personal qualities) which deserves even an answer. There is no one of his predecessors, not even "Wash ington, of whom as many and as reproach ful things have not been, said, unless per haps it be Mr. Monroe, who had the happiness to fall uruu i'thc era cf good feeling," and w"ho was, in no one quality, either as a man or as a Preside', Miperi or to Mr Jiiucohu -The President gave ample proof of his intellectual capacity when he conte-ted a scat iu the Senate of the United States with Judge Douglas. When I f-at in the Senate with Judge Douglas, I thought him, for business and debate, the equal of the ablest ia that to be entirely conscientious iu the dis- charge ot his high trust, and that, under circumstances of unparalleled difficulty, ne 110.1 administered the Government with the deepest sense vf "responsibility to his country and his God. Ifc is eminently kind-hearted, l am sure ho spoke the truth, the other day, when he said that he had never willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom. lie is one of the most la borious and indefatigable men iu the country, and that he has been able to sus tain himself under as great a load of care as was ever laid upon the head or heart of a living man ia in no Email degree owing to the fact that the vindictive and acgry passions form no part of his nature, and that a kindly and playful spirit mingles its sweetness with the austere cup of pub lic duty. It may seeni hardly worth while to no tice the descriptions which represent the President as a person of uncouth appear ance and manners. Uut as Mr. JJurke did not think it. out of place, in the most magnificent discourse in the English lan guage, to comment on the" appearance, manners, and conversation of the exiled j-Prench prince?. .! will take the liberty to sny, that on the on-Iy social occasion I ever had the honor to be in the company of the President, viz, the commemoration at Gettysburg, he sat at table at the house of my friend. David Wills, Esq., by the side of several distinguished "persons, la dies and gentlemen, foreigners and Amer icans, among them the Ercnqh. Minister at Washington,' since appointed French Am bassador at Madrid; and the Admiral' of the' French, fleet, and that in gentlemanly. appearance manners, and conversation j he was the peer of any man at the table. ,; t of The most important objection urged against Mr. Lincoln is that personally he lacks fixedness of purpose, and that his cabinet and administration have wanted unity of counsel. I think I shall olTend no candid opponent (I certainly am no partisuu nryself ). if I remind you that pre cisely the same chargeon ihe same grouuds might be brought againt Vn'ashington and his administration. Uuder circumstances yasily lc-s embarrassing, he placed in his cabinet and kept there :s long aa they couid be induced to stav. the two nrditical j leaders (Jefferson aud Hamilton) not uii:ieiy ui uiuereui wings 01 me same po- liticat conuection, but the heads of two j-rad;cjlly opposite parties. Mr. Monroe, though elected himself by an almost unun lmous vote, allowed hi cabinet tj coutain three rival candidates for the succession, who differed radically on almost every political oucstion. It rarely happens iu ! popular governments that any other course I is practicable in difficult times. In En- rl:: land, where the thoorv and practice of parliamentary government have been ma turing for ages, there has seldom been a cabinet in which the same diwssidence has not existed. It does at the present time in the cabinet of Lo-d Palmcrston. llut I forbear. The clectiou, in all but its formalities, is decided. It is due to both parties to .say that they accept the result, the one its defeat, and the other its victory, with moderation and cquaniin- ity. It b in this spirit alone that our common country can be cairied through its great trial. The last hope of the hos- ti.e leaders is in our division. YY ith ture indications of a cordial union on our part, .j i r 11 -it, "uown ineir icue weapons win drop, or be wrested from their hands by the indi; nant and weary masses, whom they have betrayed mto this desolating war. Let us, then, Mr. Chainnau, study the things which will bring about an honora ble and lasting peace with our deluded countrymen. It rejoiced my heart the ether day, at the opening of the Fair, to be lollnwed on the platform by my life long friend Winthrop, who filled the same pi ice on the unsuccessful "electoral ticket hat I do on that whicfi has" prevailed, and whoso admirable speech commanded the entire sympathy of the audience. A fair appeal has been made to the people, to which they have responded in terms not to be mistaken. Let the successful party continue to abstain from all unkindly ex ultation, and the defeated from all bitter partisau warfare. (Jeoeral Grant has de dared that the Jate election is worth a pitched battk, not surely because it is a party triumph, but because it is the trum pet tone of the people's voice, affirming the immortal maxin of General Jacks-ou that "the. Union must and shall be pre served." Let our brave 'offie2r5, seamen and soldiers, on the land and on the sea, feel that they arc striking, not for thij or that man, for this or that party, but for the whole country, and when our gallant guests who now honor us with their com pany go forth again to ether conflicts and other triumphs, let them go with the as surance that they curry with them the hearts of a united people. What Mionr IIavc eetx, if it tas to uk The Xew York Tribune savs there is a rich story current, whereof the fcub stance is as follows: The llebel Stales by secret preconcert had their Legislatures in session on the 8th of November, ami each of them chose their quota' of Presidential Electors, . as though they had uever attempted to secede from the Union. These electors, in case, their aggregate vote would suffice to give M'ClclIan a majority over Lincoln, were to assemble on the first Wednesday in December, and formally east their votes for M.'Clcl!au and Pendleton, sending them on to Washington in due form, and back ing them by delegations to either limine, should that be deemed essential. Then', when the day arrived for officially counting the votes and declaring the result, the opposition of all shades, wes to insist that M'ClclIan and Pendleton were duly elect ed, and, if this were net conceded, break up the session jq a row, and inaugurate a civil war from one end of the Union to the other, the present llebellion" merging itself in the newer and more formidable, Jeff. Davis, Lcc, and Ueauregard becoming alike lieutenants of M'Clellan. This story is unsupported by published facts, and is essentially incredible. We receive it only as the coinage of sne fer tile biain, musing aud brooding over what might have been. If it has a shred of fact beneath it, that fact must soon become apparent! and we shall await with interest its development. ' : ' - - Et&-0 rank's X.

It was six o'clock in tho afternoon. At this time the great wholesale warehouse of Messrs. Hubbard & Sou was wont to close, unless the pressure of business compelled the partners to keep open until later. The duty of closing usually devolved on Edward Jones, a bay of fourteen, who had lately been engaged to perform a few light duties, for which ho received the sum of fifty dollars auoually. lie was the boy, but if he behaved himself so as to win the approbation of his employers, his chanc? cf promotion was good. - . " Yet there were some things that rendered this small salary a trial to him eircutu sta:iC2s with which his employers were unacquainted. His mother was a widow. The sudden death of Mr. Jones had thrown the entire family upon their own resources, and these were, indeed, but slender. There was an elder sister who assisted her mother to sew, and this, with Edward's salary, cons:itured the entire income of the family. ' Yet, by means of untirics indus try, they had continued thus far to live, uing st iict economy, of course. Yet they wanted none of the absolute necessaries 0 life But Mary Jones Edward's sister grow sick. She had taken a severe cold which terminated in a fever. This not ouly cut nil th; in J own labor, but nlsc I from accomplishing inouie ariincr from her o presented her mother accomplishing as much a3 she would otherwise have been able to do. On the morning of the day on which our story commences, Aiary had expressed a longing for an orange. In her fever it would have been most grateful to her. It is hard indeed, when we are obligrd to deny those we love that which would be a refreshment and benefit to them. Mrs. Jones felt this, and so also did Edward. "I only wisli I could buy you one, Ma- said Edward, just as Jie set out for the store. ".Next year I shall receive larger salary, and then we shaVt have to pinch so much." "Never mind, Ed ward,'' paid she, smiling faintly, "I ought not to have asked for it, knowing how hard you and mother find it to get along without me. , "Don't trouble yourself about that, Mary," said Mrs. Jones, soothingly, though her heart sank within her, at the thought of her empty larder. "Only get well, and then wa shall get along well enough, alter wards.' It was with the memory of thi scene that Edward went to the store ia the morning. All around him were boxes of rich goods representing thousands of dol lars in money. "Oh," thought he, "if I only had the value cf one of these boxes, how much good it would uo poor Mary." Ihe Ionu ua' woro away at last, and Edward was about to cose the warehouse. Cut as he parsed the desk of his emnloyer, his aitentuui was drawn to a bit of paper lying on the floor. He picked it up, and to his great icy found it to be a "ten dollar bill. The first thought that flashed upon him was, "how much good this will do Mary. I can Luy. her the oranges she wants, and she shall have some every. day. Perhaps she would like a chicken." But in a nionent later his countenance fell. "It isn't mine," he sighed. "It must be Mr. Hubbard's. This is his desk, and he must have dropped it." "Still," urged the tempter, "he will never know it. And aicr all, what arc ten dollars to him. lie is worth a hundred thousand." - Still Edward was not satisfied. Whether Mr. Hubbard could spare it or not, was not the question. It was rightfully his, and must be given back to him. "I'll go to his house and give it to him this very night," said Edward, "otherwise I might be tempted to keep it." He determined to go to Mr. Hubbard's beforc-he went home. The siht of his mci. siaicr mimic weaken 111s resolution. 1 and that must-never be allowed. lie must j preserve his integrity at all hazards. He knew where Mr. Hubbard lived. It was a large, fine looking house, on a fash- ! itmable street. He had passed it several f times, ana wonaereu wnetner a man must tot feci har.ny who was able to live in such style. Without nay unnecessary delay, there fore, he went to the house, a'nd ascending the step, rang the bell. A man servant came to the door. "Well?" said he. "Is Mr. Hubbard at home?" "Yes, but he has only just come in, and I don't ; think he can see -you," was the rcplv. "I am in -his employ," said Edward! i it. - . quieiiy, - -anu nave just come irotn tne store- I think he will see me if you vrili mention thia to him." . NUMBER 10. "Very well, you can come iu." . Ed ward was left standing in the hall while Mr. Hubbard was sought by the scrvaut. lie came out in a moment, aud looked at Edward with a little surprise. "Well," he said inquiringly, has an y thing happened V "No, sir," said Edward; "but I picked up this bill near your desk, and supposed you must have dropped it. I thought I had hotter bring it directly hcre.V "You have done well," siid Mr. Hub bard, "acd I will remember it. Honesty is a very valuable quality in a boy just commencing a business career. Hereafter I shall have perfect confidence in your honesty." Edward was gratified by this assurance, yet as the door closed behind himand he walked out into the street, the thought of his sister sick at home again intruded on him, and he thought regretfully how much, good could have been done with ten dol lars. Not that he regretted that he had been honest. There was a satisfaction in doing right but I think my readers will understand his feelings without any ex planation. , Mrs. Jones brought some tonst to her daughter's bedside, but Mary motioned it aw.-iy. thanking her mother fur "her trouble in making it, but," said she, "I don't think I could possibly eat it.". . "Is there anything you could relish. Mary?" aid she. 4 hesitatingly, "nothing that we can :et." Mrs. Jones sighed a sigh that Edward echoed.. It was with a heavy heart that Edward started for the warehouse next morning. He lud-ncvr;r before felt the craving for wealth which now took possession of him. He set about his duties as usual. About two hours sifter he had arrived at the warehouse, Mr. Hubbard entered. He did not at first appear to notice Edward, but in about half an hour summoned him to the office,-which was partitioned off from the remainder cf .the spacious rooms in which goods were stored. lie smiled pleasantly as Edward entered his presence. "Tell me frankly," he said, "did you net feel an impulse to keep the bill which you found last night?" "I hope you won't ba ofTeuded with me, Mr. Hubbard," said Edward, "if I say that I did." "Telf me all about it," said Mr. Hub bard wiih interest. "What was it that withheld you '! I should never have known it." "I knew that," said Edward. "Then what withheld you from taking it?" "First T will tell you what tempted me," said Edward. "My mother and bis ter are obliged to depend upon sewing for a living, and we live very poorly' at the best. But a fortnight since Mary became sick, and since then we have had a hard time. Mary's appetite is poor, aud does not relish our food, but we are not able to get her anythiug bettor. Wiien I picked up that bill I cDuldu't help thinking how much I might buy with it for her." "And yet you did not take itl"". "No, sir; itavould have been wroojr, and I could uot have looked you in the lace after it." - . - Mr. Hubbard went to the desk and wrote a chequo. "How much do I pay you now ?" La asked. ."Fifty dollars a year," said Edward. "Henceforth, your duties will be in creased, and I wll pay you two hundred. Will that please you?" "Twohuudicd dollar? a year exclaimed Edward, his eyes sparkling with delight. "Yes, and at the end of the 3"car it will be increased if, as I doubt not, you con tinue to merit my confidence." - - "Oh, sir, how can I thant ycu?" said Edward, full of gratitude. . "By preserving your integrity. As I presume you are in present need of money, T , tir nrn ; ..i,-,. Hcrc i a cheque for Gfty dollars -which you can get cashed at the bank. And, by the w2y, you may have the rest of the day to yourself?" Edward flew to the bank, aud with his SU(lden riches hasteucd to the market, at whi r, h rnrW,i j which place he purchased a supply of provisions such as he knew would be welcome at home, and then hastened homo to announce his good fortune. A weight seemed to fall .off the hearts of mother and daughter, as they heard hit hurried story, and Mrs. Jones thanked God for bestowing upon her a son whoso good principles had brought them this great relief. And Mr. Hubbard slept none the worse I that night that at slight pecuniary sacrifice he had done a kind action, confirmed aboj in hU integrity, and gladdened a tru;f gling family. 1 i - - . I. -
