With intellect and truth ;
Still lingers iu his open glance
The sweet, clear smile of youth.
Vet trust him not, fair maiden,

The red wine oft pollute the lip
That woos thee for n bride.

The fiend, his noblest form.
O, happy, gentle maiden !

Rethink thee ere thou lightly leave
The homestead's hallowed shrine.
There dwells the gentle mother
Who watched thy dawning life
The sister who will weep o'er thee
A broken-hearted wife.
Turn not bo oft, so fondly,
To gar.e upon his face 5
That fair, high hrnw already wears
The shadow of disgrace.
There music Iu his manly voice,
His words of love nnd pride
Shall those rich tone allure thee, love,
To be a rnt'SKAnn'u bride?

throughout the length nnd breadth of L n-

their nomination for county officers. As
there- were many uspirajita for the few
Humiliations, it follows, aa a matter of
course, th;U there were aoiue hitter lintj
toinlmeiits to no one more so thai) to
Uld fitii :" who was conlideiit of getting
a nomination lor buerill.
Zimmerman, or ''old vim," ci ho wai
familiarly railed, was a miserly old codger,
who was well to do in the world, yet h
wad up at every convention lor a nomina
tion for something from "lime whereof,
the memory of man n;i.wcih not to the
contrary." He was reputed wealthy
that is, ha owned a farm, and had money,
but he never showed the color of it, ex
it nt he unfortunau ly got ou a spree
tlu'ii he would sow it broadcast hut dial
was only a 1 i'Minial occurrence
A few evenings out the nmnin:nons
aijovo noieii, t Knot 01 mo unvaiisneu
were congregated at the I'Jarl; Horse
Tavern, discussing the, merits and de
merits of the fortunate nominee. "
tlentlemen,' wid old Zim, 'merit and
long service to the party, is no recom
mentlation in this comity. Tho wire
workers and schemers Lave it all their
own way.'
Aye,' responded one of the lir-riom
loafers, 'they doi;s the pick in out, und
they expect us to do tho wotm''
'lhit, nentlemr,' continued Zim, 'they
