• The Democratic party berritatthe campaign
under the most 'auspicious eircmitstatiees,

for the cause, and a vigorous • •self reliance
that has not been experienced in many years.
The, late elections show conclusively that a
vest inalority Of - the nation are ready to es
pouse our standard if we only prove faithful
to our creed, and continue to stand firmly by
the interests of the country:,
But to make victory certain something
more is necessary thin mere dependence up-
on the truth of our principles. In the flush
of self-confidence, we are apt to forget what
a vigilant enemy we have to overcome, and
what desperate measures he is apt to resort to
to attain his ends. Political battles, like those
of a more bloody nature, depend fur their re-.
sults more on the Ski ll,courage, determination
had energy of the contesting foes than upon the
sacredness of their cause, or the convictions of
the participate. The Democracy of America
have always stood Birth as deiotedly attached
to the Union, the Constitution and She wet-
litre of the country as - they do today, yet
for seven years they s ligA; been divested of
power, and it is only,vhen the people era
aroused from their delusion by the imperilled

have again returned to. us that confidence
which it would have been well they had
never' parted with.
The all-important necessity of the day, on
the part of our political friencts'
wonK!!. WORK!!!
We must be thoroughly organized and pre
pared fil'r the campaign. Every man tunst
consider that he owes a personal duty in the
matter, as indeed he does, for there is no one
so humble, but he is in some way more or less
411ncerned in the issues at stake. AlFthe
districts must be canvassed, so that we3may
know where it wilt be most advantageous to
employ our energies. The young men must
be encouraged to lend a helping hand. Those
who have been led estray must be brought
back to the fold, and Democratic argutnents
paced in their reach, that they may know
the distinctive questions which divide' par
ties, and no longer be misled by the wiles and
falsehoods of the OppoSition.

The Demoyratic party has never displayed
that zeal in supporting its press that it need

else, may be attributed Ita•tnlsfortunes during
the last ten years. In :all sections of the
country—even in the midst of the strongest
Democratic localities—the Radical press is
more liberally sustained than ours, and in
many places the contrast is Ho great as al
most to amount to a disgrace,
The time has come for these things to slx
changed, and for the Democratic ; party to'
enter upon a new method of waefire. Our
papers ought to be spread broadetist over the
land, and take the . place of those which are
now defiling the minds of the young and
filling them with wrong ideas of Republican
liberty. Our public men should avail nein
selves of every opportunity. that offers to im
press the importance of these views on the

should make a point of devoting . whatever

their county organs by procuring their friend*

MARY MOORE.
A PLEASANT LOVE STORY
All my life-loug I bad known Mary Moore.
All my life I had loved her.
Our mothers were old playmates and first
cousins. - My first recollections are of a boy,
in a red frock and morocco shoes, rocking a
cradle in which reposed a sunny haired, blue,
eyed baby, not quite a year old. That boy
was myself—Harry Church ; that bleeiedla
by was Mary Moore.
Later still I see myself at the little sehool
house;drawiyg my little chair up to the door
that Mary might ride home. Many a beat
ing have I gained on such occasions, for
other boys besides tae liked her, and she, I
fear was something of a flirt, even in her
pinafore. How elegantly she ,carne tripping
down the steps when I called her name.
How sweetly her blue eyes looked tit me.
How gaily rang 'out 'her merry laugh. No
one but Mary could bring her heart so soon
to her lips. I followed that laugh from my
days of childhood tilt I grew' an awkward,
blushing youth—l followed ft through the
heated noon of manhood—and now, when
the frosts of age are siliering my hair, and
many children climb upon tny knee and
call me "father," I Ind that the memories
of
„ youth are strong, and that, even in grey
s ham, I am following the music still.
"When I was fifteen the first great sorrow
of my life came upon my heart. I was sent
to school, and was obligedlopart with Mary.
We were nottoeee each-other for three long
years. This, to me was like a sentence of
death, for Mary was like: life Itself to me.
'But hearts are tough things after all.
licit college in all the flush and vigor of
my iiiiieteenth year. I was no longer awk
ward or embarrassed. I had grown into a
tall slender stripling, with a very good opin
ion of myself, both in general and particular.
ICI thought of Mary Moore it was to imag
ine how I could dazzle, and bewilder her
with - my good looks and wonderful mental
attainments, and never thinking that she
might dazzle and bewilder me still more. I
was a coxcomb, I know, bet as youth and
good looks have fled, I trust that I may be
believed when I say that Selfeonceit has left
me also.
An advantageous proposal was made me
at that time, and accepting it. I gave up all-
Idea of a profession, and prepared to go to
India. 'ln my hurried visit house of two dap,
I saw nothing of Mary Moore. She had gone
to a boarding school at some distance, and
was not expected home until the following
May. I uttered out a sigh to the memory of
-my little blie-eyed playmate, and then called
myself "a man" spin.
In a year, I thought,as the vehicle whirled
away from nur door, in a year, or three years
at the very most, I will return and if Mary
is as pretty as she used to be, why, then per
haps I may marry her.
And thus I settled the -future of a young
lady whom I had not seen for four years. I
never thought of the possibility of her refus
ing me—never dreamed that 'she would not
condescend to accept my - offer.
But now I know that, had Mary met me
then she would have despised me. Perhaps
in the scented and affected student she might
have found plenty of sport ; but as for loving
me, I should perhaps have found myself mis
taken. India was my salvation, not merely
because of my success, but because my labor
ions industry-bad 'counteracted the evil in
my nature, and had 'made me a better man.
When at the - end of three years I prepared
to return, I said, nothing of the reformation
of myself which I knew had taken place.
They loved - me as I wns,l murmured tomy
self, and they shall find out for themselves
whether I am better worth toying than for
tnerly.
I packed np many a token from that land
of romance and gold, for, the friends I had
hoped to meet; the gift for Mary Moore, I
selected with,a heating heart; it' was a ring
of rough, virgin gold, with my name and
her's engraved inside—that was all, and yet
the sight of the little toy strangely thrilled
us I balanced it upon the tip of my finger.
Tothe eves of others it was but a small
plain circlet suggesting thoughts, perhaps,
by its eh;gance, of the beautiful white hand
that was to wear it. But not to me—how
much was embodied there—all these delights
were hidden within that little ring of gold.
Tall, bearded and sea-bronzed, I knocked
at the door of my father's house. The light,
in the parlor window, and the hum of the
conversation arid the cheerful laughter
showed me that company was assembled
there. I hoped sister Lizzie would come to
the door, and that I might greet my family
when no strange eye Ava 4 looking carelessly
on.
But no—a servant answered my annunous.
They were too merry in the parlor to heed
the long absent line who asked for admit
tance. A bitter thought like this run through
my mind as I heard the sound from the par
lor and saw the half suppressed smile on the
-
servant's face.
I hesitated a monieht before making *-
self known or asking for any of the liana - 3'.
Anti while I stood silent a strange apparition
grew up befOre me; .from behind the servant
peered out a small golden head, a tiny deli
cate form followed and a sweet childish face,
with.blue eyes, WHS little to mine—so like to
those of one who had brightened my boy
hood, that I started with a sudden tbeling of
pain.
"What is yonr ntone,myprettv r I asked,
while the wondering servant held the door.
"Mary Moore." • „„,
ind what else?" I asked quickly.
She lifted tip ter hands to shade her eyes.
I had seen that very attitude in another. in
my boyhood ,Many and many a. time—and
answered in a sweet, bird-like voice :
"Mary,Moore Chester,"lisped the child.
My heart Sunk down like lead. Here was
an end to all the bright dreams and hopes of
My youth and manhood. Frank Chtstter, my
boyish rival, who had often tried in vain.

me. This was the childhis child and
Mary's.
I sank, bOdy and soul, beneath this blow,
and hiding my face -, in my hands, I leaned
against the door. while my heart wept tears
of blood.,The little one gazed atme,grieved
and amazd, and put up her pretty lips as if
about to - cry, while-the perplexed servant
stepped to the parlor door, and called my
sister out to see who it was Vial conducted
himself so strangely. I hearti . a slight step,
and a pleasant epics saying— , ,
"Did you
- Wish to see my father, sir?" -
I looked up. There stood a' retty, sweet

She wept as Viler heartwordd break. t

There was a rush ands cry of Joy. and

LizzirMoore, Mary`a eldest sister, and in a
distant corner, to - which - she had hurriedly
retreated when my name was spoken, skied
a .tall and slender figure, half hidden -by the
heavy window curtains that fell to the floor.
When the first rapturous greeting was over,
Lizzie led' me forward With a timid grace,
and Frank Cheater grasped my hand.
"Welcome home, my boy !" he said, with
loud cheerful tones remembered : so well,,
"You have changed so that I' never would'

"Aye,Mother," I answered, sadly, " I am

'Heaven help me I 'At that moment I felt
like ti boy, andlt Would hate been 'a blessed
relief to have wept uptiti - her`bosotu, as I had
done in infancy. But - 1 kept down the beat
ing of My heart and the tremor of my lip,
and answered quietly, as I looked Into his,
full, handsome face—
": You have changed, too, F'itink, nbnt T .
think for the better."
"Oh, yes—thank you for the compliment,"
he answered, with a hearty laugh.
"My wife tells me I grow handsomer every
day."
His wife ! Conid I heir that name and
keep silence still?: : 4.• •
"And have you seen my little girl," he add
ed, lifting the infant in his arms, and kissing
her crimsoned cheek, "I• tell you, Harry,
thereis no such another !tithe world. Don't
you think:she looks very much like her
mother used tor.
•
"Very much'." I faltered.
"Ilnilof cried Frank, with a suddenness
which! made me stilt violently ; "I have for- -
gotten to introduce you to my wife; I 'be
lieve she and :you used to be playmates in
your younger .days—yea, Harry 1" and he
slapped me on the back. "For: the sake of'
old times and because you were not at the
wedding, I will give you leave to kiss her
once—but mind; old follow, you are never to
repeat the ceremony. Come—here she is,
and I for one want to see ' how you will
manage those ferocious moustaches of yours
inthe operation."
He pushed Lizzie, laughing and blushing,
towards me. A gleam of light and hope, al
most too dazzling to bear, came over me, and,
I cried out before I thought, "Not Mary."
It must have betrayed my secret to every
oue in the room. But nothing was said, even
Frank, in general so obtuse, 'was this time
silent. I kissed the fair cheek of the young
bride, and hurried to the silent figure looking
out the window.
"Mary—Mary Moore," I said, in a low,
eager tone, "have you no welcome to give
the wanderer?"
She turned and laid her hand in mine, and
Said hurriedly:
"I am glad to see von here, Harry."
Simple words, and yet how blessed_ they
made me. I would not have yielded her up
that moment for an emperor's crown, For
there was the happy home group and the
dear home fireside, with sweet Mary Moore - .
The eyes I bad dreamed of by day find night
Iwere fulling beneath the ardentgaze of tame,
and the sweet fiscal had so long prayed to
see was there beside me. .1 never knew the
meaning of happiness until that moment.
Many Years have passed since that happy
night, arid the hair that was dark and glossy
then, is fast turning gray. lam now grown
to be an bld man, and can look back to a
happy, and I hope well 'spent life. And yet,
sweet as it has been, I . would not recall 'a
1 single day, for the love that made my man
hoi:xl so bright shines also upon my white
hairs.
An old man ! Can this be so ? At heart
lam as young as ever. And Mary, with her

that has a slight furrow upon it, is still the
Mary of other days. To me she can never
grow old or change. The heart that held
her infancy, and sheltered her in her flush
'and beauty of womanhood, can . never cast
her out till life shall cease to warm it. Not
even then, for love still lives above.
The Young Tobacco Chewer.
Captain Miorryatt, in one of his sea stories,
called Peter Simple, tells, a capital anectiote
about boy who was just beginning to learn
to chew tobacco. I'll tell it to -you, my little
friend, with the - request that, if you ever
should take a notion to chow, you will just
remember the story ; for I cannot doubt that
the ridiculous plight of this young tobacco
chewer; if yon will only keep it in your mind,
Will be ugtittfficient safeguard, against forming
the habit.
"I was amused the lastmonfing watch that
/ / kept. We were stowing away the ham
!Trucks in the quarter-deck nettings, when
oar of the boYs curie with his hammock on
hisshonlder, and as lte:paspd, the first lieuten
ant perceived that he bad a quid of tobacco
in Ins mouth.
'What have you got there, my good lad 't
a gumboil ? Yuur cheek is much swollen.'
.IsTo, sir,' replied the boy, 'there`:. nothing
at . an. the matter.'
.0, there must be ; perhaps it is a byd tooth.
Opea your mouth and let me see.'
Very reluctantly the boy opened his mouth,
width contained a large roll of tobacco-leaf.
q see, I see,' said the lieutenant; 'your
mouth wants ,oVgrhnuling, and your teeth
cleaning. I wish }ye had a dentist on board ;
but as we have not, I. will operate as well as
I can. Send the armorer up here with his
tongs.' ,
'When the armorer tautde his appearance,
the boy was compelled to open his mouth,
while the tobacco was extracted with this
rough instrument. •
'There now,' said the lieutenant, 'I am sure
that you must feel better already; you never
could have any appetite with such stuff in
your mouth. Now, captain of the after
guard, bring a piece of old canvass and some
send, and clean his teeth nicely. The Cap
tain of the alter-guard mile forwent, and,
petting' the boys head between his knees,
scrubbed his teeth well with sand and canvass
tier two or three minutes.
'There, that will do; said the lieutenant.
'Now, my little fellow, take some water and
rinse out your month nice and clean, and you
w ill enjoy your breakfast. It was impossi
ble for you to have eaten anything with your
mouth lei such a nasty state. -When it la
dirty again, come to Inc and I will be your
Jentist."
