[Our readers will be pleased to have placed be fore them another beautiful poeui from the pen of " Stella of Laekawana"—one of the most valued of our fair contributors.]— Wayne Co Herald. 'Tis a sorrowful tale ye breathe, south winds— A sorrowful tale to me ' Not from the plains where the palm-tree blooms, In the sunshine by the sea ; And the pomegranate blossoms hide away, Should there come such plaints to me ! Ye tell of a beautiful clime, south winds! Of a beautiful, sparkling Ihme, Where the sun pearls drop o'er the melting fruit, In a long, bright summer time * And the ringing voices of countless birds, With your own low cadence chime : Ye hint, on your winding way, south winds, Of many a trodden plain, Where the fiercest hate of the human breast, Gloatheth strangely o'er the slain ; And the corses ofaiingled heroes sleep Away from the bayonet pain ! Whisper me tidings glad, south wtnds! Whisper me tidings glad! For the cries of tny country hannt my rest, Till my very soul grows mad ! My dreams are of woman's tearful face, And of warriors, stern and sad. Hum me a lighter song, south winds! Hum me a lighter song ! For my life is as woary as life can be, With the wailings of human wrong; Rest on my waiting cheek, south winds ! And hum me a lighter song ! Tell me, do lovers sigh, south winds, Tell me do lovers sigh, When the moon in her radiance, sails down The bluo of tho Southern sky 7 And wan ler on, in her witching light, Where the waltzing rill leaps by 7 Tell me, do maidens pine, soi th winds ! Do beautiful maidens pine, In the shadowy groves wber i the myrtle? creep, At the feet of tho proud-necked vine ; ! Where the blood of a thousand veins gush out. In the richest and rodest wine 7 In the bright land, whence ye sped, south winds, In the land from whence ye sped, Do the blushing ro?es ever fade O'er the couch of tha lovely dead, Or the trill of tho blue-birl plaintive grow 'Along the music-leaves o'erhead 7 On my cheek, yet oiwe more He, south winds ! On my ehcek caressingly lio ! And warbl • the tendorest, fondest words, With a low, responsive sigh, For the Icmeliest thing on this loveless earth— On this wild, wide shore, am I. Ilosaiiun the Ugly One. FROM THE FRENCH. " But look, then," said Mrs. Moore, tohh r husband, '• how ugly that little one i 6. Is she not William ?" And Mr, Moore who was sitting in a rock, rig-chair, amusing himself with poking the fire, laid down the tongs he held, and grave ly answered his wife : •' But, my dear, your have already <aid so one hundred tunes, and were you to say it one hundred times, more, Rose would not be come less ugly for your saying so." Rosanna was ; little girl of about fourteen. She was their only child, and, to do her moth er justice, was realty very ugly—nay almost revolting; with her little gray eyes,flai nose, large mouth, thick protruding lips, red, hair, and, above all a form remarkably awry. Rose was, then, very ugly—but 6he was a sweet girl nevertheless. Kind and intelligent she possessed a mind of the highest order. Nature seemed to have compensated her with every good quality of the heart for the want of every beauty of person. The poor little thing was profoundly hurt, as she listened to her mother's observation, "Oh, you little fright, you will never get a husband." Eight o'clock struck: Mrs Moore was was sorely vexed. " Go to bed, Rosanna." Tremblingly the approached her mother, to give her the kiss of good night. " 'Tis useless, you little monster," said her mother. A tear rolled from the little ones eye She hastily wiped it away, and turning to her father, presented him the yet humid cheek He kissed her tenderly. " I am not altogether miserable," she mur mured, leaving the room- Retiring to her chamber, she commenced embroidering a scarf, and worked thus, part of the night, for she desired to present it to her mother, when she arose in the morning. The clock struck twelve. She had just finished, and putting it by, the little girl calmly resigned herself to rest. Her repose was undisturbed. On the morrow Rose presented the scaif to her mother. What was the paiu the little one experienced, when her mother received it coldly, and expressed none of those tender sentiments which were to have been the sweet little one's reward. Her, eye* by chance, glanced over a neigh boring mirror. " Yes," she said, internally."! am ugly— they are right," and she sought iu her own head to fiqd a remedy tor ugiiaesi. "TO SPEAK HIS THOUGHTS IS EVERY FREEMAN'S RlGHT."—Thomas Jefferson. TUNKHANNOCK, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1863. And then in the world—new pangs wound ed the little ugly one's heart. A first im pression alienated ali the young girls of her own age— but then she was so good so amia ble, so amusing, that they approached, then listened, and then loved her. Now, indeed, our little one was happy. One day Mr. Moore went home in a violent passion, and became, in consequence of some trifling prevarication, highly incensed against his wife. Their domestic felicty was troub led for eight long days,—for eight long days Mrs. Moore was continually crying. Rosan na in vain racked her young brains to discov er why—but her father still continued angry, and her mother was still continually weeping At last she reflected in her mind how to reconcile them. Thev were all three seated in the parlor— Mr. Moore was arranging the fire when this was concluded, he threw the tongs from hi uo, snatched a book from the mantle, and opened it abruptly ; but, after a moment's perusal, he it again, in a violent humor, cast a fierce glance at his trembling wife, aud hur riedly rose from his chair Rosantia, deeply moved, clasped her arm s about his neck as he was about to rise and affectionately caressed him. lie could no? reject her innocent coaxing, and the little girl, thinking she had succeeded in touching his heart, took in her hands the moistened handkercheif wherewith her mother had been drying her weeping eyes, and dried them a second time therewith; she then tenderly embraced her mother, who returned her af fectionate caress with all a mother's fondness- The parties being now favorably disposed' naught remained but to establish the peace This was no easy inattei—neither would make, the first overture—and without the penetration of little Rose the reconciliation would not have taken place. fjhe took her lather,a hand between her own little hands, and pressed it to her bo som : she then took her mother's hand and joined it to her father's as it lay on her heart Human pride could resist no longer—the al icnated parents rose at the eatne rnumeut and embraced each other. From that hour Rose was the idol of them both. Six years after this, Rcsauna, the ugly Rj sanna, was the ornament of every society to which hei mother presented her. Amiable, witty, and observing, her conversation was universally courted. One summer evening, the sun, which, dur ring the day, had shed over nature an intense heat, had just disappeared, leaving the hori zon covered with long wide bands of red— clouds more and more dark were heaping themselves on the eastern sky—the atmos phere was suffocating, and one would deem the earth returning to the sun the heat she had been receiving during the day. All was heavy and weary—the air inhaled seemed rather to suffocate than nourish. A drowsy languor overcame every one. In a saloon, whose every window was thrown open, might be seen gliding, here and there, in the darkened light, groups of young females, whose white dresses, slightly agita ted by the rising breeze of the evening, offer ed something mysterious and poetical where en the imagination loved to dwell. A low laughing whisper was then heard, like the soothing murmur of some distant rivulet. A young woman, seated before a piano was ex pressing her heart's sentiments by an extem porary melody, now smooth and tender, now deep and trembling. No more whispering, but a general silence took place, for here was a celestial sympho ny, a seraph's song. Lord Underwood, a fine blue eyed young nobleman, was so deeply touched by the melo dy, that his frame seemed agitated by a mo. mentary convulsion. Ila listened to the an gers voice, so softly harmonizing with the tones of the instrument, and felt an indescib able sensation thrill througli his frame. Tho music ceased, but the sweet voice still vibrated on Underwood's ear, and there was a charm in the witty and original trifle to which he listened, that transfixed him where he stood. " How beautiful must that young girl be," thought Underwood. Ilappy the man on wham may fall her choice," and he involuntarily sighed. Suddenly lights were brought in. The young woman was the ugly Rosanna. Lord Underwood was stupefied—he closed hi"i eyes, but the charm of that voice haunted his memory. He gazed on her a second time and he found her less ugly ; and Rose was indeed, less ugly. The beouties of the mind seemed transferred to her person ; and her gray eyeß small as they were, expressed won derfully well her internal sensualities. Lord Underwood wedded Rosanna, and be. came the happiest of men in toe possession of the kindest and most loving of women. Beauty deserts us, but virtue and talents, the faithful companions of our lives, accom ; pany ua to the grave. . yy The editor of the New Orleons Times savs the oorsets worn by the ladies of that city will bear a monstrous strain, judging from tody he saw, who was so nearly cut in two that a man might be amenable for bigamy should ht marry hef v From tho Metropolitan Record "NOBODY'S HURT. Two year 3 ago the United States were at the summit of earthly prosperity, Kingdoms gray with centuries sought its alliauce, na tions whose record was the history of civili zation, gazed with wonder on the new star that appeared in the poli'ieal firmament the oppressor looked to it with wondering dread, and the oppressed wilh yearning love and reverence. In every tongue it was a syno nym for freedom, and its example fired the heart and aerved the arm of struggling pa triots in every laud. America !—the very name suggested im ages of smiling peace and plenty, a land flow ing with milk and honey, a people prosper ous and contented—honored abroad and hap py at home. No citizen of Rome, in Rome's palmiest days, bur* a prouder title than he who failed frtui the Republic of the West.— Then an American citizen meant a freeman— one who owned no lord, " saving the Lord on high," who held his rights at the option of no petty despot, who owed allegiance only to his country, and fealty only to his God. From Maine to Texas, from the Atlantic to the Pacific seaboard, resounded the hutn of thriving industry, for peace was within our borders, and we were at peace with the world without. Two short years ago we might have defied the world iu arms, now we trem ble at the thought of intervention. Two short years ago the complications in Europe an polities were of no account to us, save when our spmpatliies were aroused by the gallant struggle of some oppressed nationali ty ; now we look to those uprismgs as a prov idential diversion in our favor, aud calculate the eifect they will have on the duration and ultimate result of our war of the sections.— Why is this ? and why is there sorrow in our dwellings and walling throughout the land ? " Nobody's hurt" " Nobody,s hurt!" Yet, on tho plains and in the valleys of Virginia, fell thousands upon thousands of American citizens, whose death left a gap in many a fireside circle, an aching void in many a desolate heart, who died without religious consolation and med ical aid—without the soothening ministra tion of friends or the loving care of kindred amid the horrors of baule,with the sound of carnage, or the rush of charging squad rons, or the groans of wounded comrads in their eat s with the earth for a pillow and the wind for a requinm. " Nobody's hurt !" Yet, from the waters of the Mississippi,from the harbor of Charles ton, and from the waves of the Ocean and the Gulf comes up a gurgling cry, heard faintly and at intervals amid the iron storm that lashes the waters into frenzy and gives the 'ie direct to the axiomed untruth. " Nobody's hurt" Yet every day onr for ces dwindle and our Army of tho Dead in creases ; for death has issued a Conscription hill and he draws his quota chiefly from our great military centre. "Nobody's hurt 1" Yet there is grief in wooden shanties and brown-stone in town and country, at home and abroad . Our t roubles have paralyzed the manufac tures of England ; they nave discouraged the commerce of France; they have violently changed the course of European emigration. But what of that? "Nobody's hurt!" North and South are bleeding at every pore ; tie life of the nation is oozing out by drop ; immense tracts are laid waste ; fertile districts dtpopulatde ; the national prestige is lost; the national credit is dostroye :d the national honor tarnisned;but, "nobody's hurt' That glorious anti-Climax re-assured us.— " NOBODY'S HURT !" Ilark how the echoing chorus swells from Manassas aDd Fredericks burg, frotn Shiloh and Antietatu,fruin Vicks hurg and New Orleans,from the Potomac and the Mississipp. "NOBODY'S HURT!' Tell it to that miserable woman with her help jes starving family, tell it to those orphans thrown upon the cold charity of an unfeeling world ;or that old man trembling on the brink of the grave ;or to those troops of maimed and wounded soldiers who are thrown hack upon their State like so much damaged goods—tell them if you dare, that "nobody's hurt. " That woman's husband went down in the ill-fated Cumberland those chdderen's fa ther fell at Edwards Ferry, that old man's sole support was trampled under the hoofs of Stuart's cavalry, that wonnded 6oldier lost his arm where many a gallant comrade lost his life, on the banks of the bloody Rappa hannock. Tell them "nobody's hurt." And when you have had the moral hardi hood to do that, then turn to the Administra tion, every member of which from the Presi. dent down to the lowest officer has lost char acter and reputation, the respect of the civili zed world, aud the regard of their fellow-cit izens— lo6t not only political capital, but po litical life—and tell them "nobody's hurt."— It is probable they could understand the force of the saying better to-day than two short years ago. Then they were starting on their four years cruise elate and sanguine; now they lie Btranded on the breakers ' and the good ship Constitution battered on all sides, the crew fearfully diminished, the supplies gone, the reckoning lost. Now ring in their> ears the mocking cry wifch which they etatred „ Nobody's hurt" THE SOLDIERS AND THE "LOYAL" LEAGUERS. The New York " Loyal" Leaguers sought to make their demonstration, last week, at Utica. formidable and " taking by parading the ret urned soldiers in their ranks, and by the lavish use of free tickets succeeded in taking with them from New York about 300 which number was somewhat increased on the route to Utica. The soldiers, generally, turned up their noses at the whole affair, and seemed to comprehend it all by instinct. Moreover, they were not backward in dis senting from and denouncing the aims of the political schemers who had them in tow.— The correspondence of the Herald has the following picture of the doings at Utica:— The procession of soldiers and citizens was formed about half past eleven, near the rail road depot, the soldiers, numbering about six hundred, in front, Colonel McQuade, who has, aftei a gallant service of two years—one year as acting Brigadier—just returned from the war, in command' About a thousand citizens were also in the procession. They ■lurched to Chancellor Square, where the ovation was held. The soldiers were, on their arrival there, treated to a sumptuous feast, prepared by the ladies of Utica. In the meantime meetings were organized at three stands. The officers at each stand were principall) Seward men ; 60 were tno?t of the speakers. Governor Seymour was denounced for his Vallandighara letter, and the arrest of the latter gentleman approved. The most bitter speeches were those of Wil mot, of Indiaua, one of the leaders of the Know Nothing movement, and that of Ly man Tremaine. Both were quite bitter. * While the latter was speaking, a company of soldiers worked their way into the crowd, and began an incessant cheering for McClel lan- Word was sent to Col. McQuade that the soldiers were trying to break up the meetiug. He went immediately to see what the trouble was, and found that they were cheering for McClciian. Ho told them that it was very nice to cheer for " Little Mac," but complaints were made that they were breaking up the meeting. At that they com menced cheering for Col- Mequade. Similar demonstrations were made .at the other stands. The cry was raised that they were a lot of drunken soldiers, but with the ex ception of two or three, whoever states tnat. utters a base calumny against the brave sol diers and heroes of many hard fought battles. ****** * A recess was taken from about five o'clock until evening. A lot of soldiers immediately took possession of one of the stands, cheer ing for McClellan and praising him as a General : declaring him to be the only man that could lead the Army of the Potomac on to victory ; denouncing in bitter terms the politicians in Washingtgn, Congressmen and Senators, as opposing McClellan because he was settling the war in a business-like inau ner, and was interfering in their schemes to make capital out of it. They were especial ly bitter on the radicals iu CoDgress and the Committee on the conduct of the War. The remarks of the different soldiers on these points were greeted with great applause by their comrades. Some of them declared that many of their comrades wers butchered at Fredericksburg to satisfy the intrigues of the politicians. " Down with the Washing ton political conspiratoisf and others would cry, " Give us McClellan to lead, and wp will reiuru to the war." This demonstration by the soldiers wa6 kept up for nearly an hour in that style. It in fact, seemed as though they could not say too much in praise of "Little Mac," or de nounce in bitter enough terms the in trigues against hitn at Washington. I heard of numerous other instances of soldiers manifesting enthusiasm for McClcl lan, but will mention but one or two as be ing significant. Whilst Mr. Bruce was speaking at one of the stands, a soldier in an officer's uniform mouuied a barrel aud de clared this gathering a Abolition sell: that he had not heard a word from the speakers, and then commenced cheering fsr McClellan. The soldiers of the Tenth Regimeut rallied around hiiu and joiued iu the cheers. They kept the matter up for some time, cheering first for McClellau and then Porter. The result was the crowd around the stand near ly all left, and they were obliged to send for the band, who played the " Red, White and Blue," before the audiance would return. Their cheers were interspersed with groans for the politicians. Mr. Townsend was also interrupted in a similar way. During the recess some of the Zouaves waited upon General Nye at the hotel, and told him that the only way to put down this rebellion was to place McUlellan at the head of the army, and that it was his (Nye's) du ty to tell those gathered here so. Hundreds of other instances of this kind took place.— IT IK FACT; IT WAS MCCJ.ELLAN'S FIRST, AND | ALL THE TIME, WITH THE SOLDIERS.

I TEmvrS: SI.OO PER ANNX7M It is amosing as well as interesting to it call the names by which the opposition to the Democratic party have been known since the Revolution. We have prepared a list, but do no, pretend to say that a!I the different parties that have attempted the overthrow of Democracy since the formation of our Gov ernment are named therein, for like the color platiorms and pretensions of the persons cem prising them, they are innumerable. They were— In 1775, Loyalists or Loyal to King George or Tories. In 1770, Loyal Tories. It 1780, Nova Scotia Cow Boy 3 and Tories. In 1786, Convention Monarchists. In 1789, Black Cockaders. In 1808, Anti-Jefferson improvement Men. In 1811, Brittish Bank men, In 1812, Peace and Submission men. In 1813, Blue Lights. In 1814, Hartford Conventionists. In 1816, Washington Society Men. In 1818, No Party Men In 1810, Federals. In 1820, Federal Republicans. In 1826, National Republicans. In 1828, Anti-Masons. In 1834, Anti-Masonic Men. In 1836, Conservatives. In 1837, Independent Democratic Whigs. In 1838. Abolitionists. In 1839, Log Cabin—Hard Cider Demo cratic Republican Abolition Whigs. In 1843, Native American Whigs. In 1844, Cuon Party or Anti-Annexation Whig c . In 1845, The Whig Party. In 1846, Mexican Whig Party. In 1847, Anti-Mexican War Party. In 1838, Rough ami Ready Party, In 1850, Clay Whig Party.

Emanci- ' pation lligh-Taxation-Centralization-Confis cation-Negro-Equalization-Usurpation-Admin istration Party. There, reader, is but a few of the names under which the " Loyalists" of to-day have flourishes, in attempting to overthrow the Democracy and the principles of our govern ment. From the beginning they have had the same intention, and that is the establish ment of a monarchy. They have ever, as to-day, been despisers of the Constitution of the United States, violators of law and OJ der, advocates of mobocracy, supporters of the suppression of the freedom of speech and of the press, and in favor of a military des potism, and the social and political equality of the negro with the white. Every inteili- " gent honest, man must, by this time, agree, in our opinion, with the Quaker, who, on be ing urged by a leading Abolitionist to join the Union League, replied : " Friend, thou changest thy name too oft en ; I have known thee as a Whig, as a Free Soiler, as a Native American, as a Know- Nothing, as a sneerer at the Union, as a friend of the Union, as a Loyal Leaguer, and thou recollectest how many more titles, and I cannot trust thee. When brother Obed fell tram grace, aud became a rogue, he chan ged his name ; and I have found that when ever men design making their living by dia honest means they are always likely to do ' the same. If thou dest ever adopt one name and set of principles, and hold on to them for fifty years, as the Democrats have done, I may begin to trust thee."— Erchangs. yy We are in pessession of an infallible recipe for making a lady's cheeks red with out paint.
