To my Friend R. P. C.
Absence oft may dim the beauty
Of a cherished long ngo
Distance may find hearts forgetting,
Curing1 n-.incht for weal or woe.
Of the playmates loved in childhood,
With their merry laughing ways,
All whoso names had ceaed to cluster
'Round ;the tight of o'her days."
Farcing winds that bring a blessing
"Wafted from the land aove,
Oft m:iy fi'id e ieh bark full freighted
With seetn'ng smiles of love;
Bnt wlmt brightness only lingers,
'Till iidcs:ty o ice hath cast,
A look of witl erj.l feelings,
Overjoys too sweet to last.

the great monarch of France, wrrn assem

When Louis XIV, came hack from his
campaign in the Palatinate, he determined
to unite his son, whose valor and daring in
j the war had greatly pleased him, to one of
the wealthy wards of the crown.
lie proposed the union to the young
Duchess of Baliverne, and found her favor
ably inclined.
Shi had just come to court, having just
emerged from the convent where she had
completed her education.
She had seen the young Cunt often,
though he had never deigned to cast a glance
upon her. She knew he was bravo and no- j
b!e, and, she thought, handsome. The
harsinister in his escutcheon was no objoc- i
tion. She accepted him.
Unfortunately, Louis of Fanche Compto
who, hke his rather, was something of a re
probate, would not accept her.
My son, said the great King, 'I have re
solved that you shall marrv.'
My worthy sire and mot excellent father,' i
returned the Count, 'I have resolved to do no
such thing.' j
The King frowned. Tie was not in tho j
habit of being contradieted. I
'I have made a formal proposition, in rnr

Could you but see her, you wouldbesure;

I never will see her,' answered the Count.
determinedly.
See her or n it, you shall marry her,' cried
the Ki.ig in a r.tgo.
If I do I'll marry her with my eyes shut,'
returned the Count. :
The King grew pnrp'o with passion. j

a good grace, and I will create you a Duke
on your wedding-day. Dare to disobey me.
and I will strip you of your t.tle, and the
lands you hold from me, aul cast you into
the Bastile.
This is what had brought the Ciunt of:
Franche Compte blindfolded to be married ,
The kins; smiled gnmiv but sant notning. ;
Tho Count ilaced the ring upon the finger
of his bride but he did not sdute her, and
when the ceremony was over lis turned his
back upon her, took the handkerchief from
his eyes, ai.d walked deliberately out of the
chapel.
Lydonio pouted her pretty Hps, and wa.s
almost ready to cry with vexition.
The King took her iu charge, escorted ber
to the carriage, and they were conveyed to
the hotel that her husband occupied.
'Here you are, mv dear,' said the King,
conducting her through the apartments he
had expressly furnished for her reception;
here vou are, at home.'
But where's my hu3band?' asked Ly
donie. Sillv hrtv!' muttered the King, looking
very much annoyed. 'Xever mind, my dear, j
he is your husband; the rest win come :n
time.'
What is the use of having a husband, if
he will not look at you?' pouted Lydon'e.
He shall look at you, or 111 send him to
the Bastile.'
'Oh no,' cried Lydonie, do not force him
to look at me. Ii he has not curiosity en
ough to see what kind of a wife he has got,
I'm sure I do not wish to oblige him to look
at me. I see how it is, she continued, a
sad expression stealing over ber countenance,
Sir yoa have forjed the Count iuto this
union!
The King coughed and looked guilty.
'On ' cried Lydonie, with anguish, he
never loved me", then be will uever love
me:

innocently.

Her old nurse cams in, and together they
inspected her new home, which Lydonio
found entirely to her satisfaction.
The Count did nolcome home that night.
A week passed by and he did not make his
appearance. Lydonie came to the conclu
sion that he never would come.
She knew it was useless to appeal to the

In fact, for a newly married man, his con

To leave ma to run after such canaille!'
exclkiiu-d Lydonie.
She paused suddenly. An idea had en
tered her brain. Slio determined to act up
on it.
While she is acting upon it, let ui see
what the Duke is about.
O.ie u nlit about eight days afterhis marri
age, the Duke, pi linly attired and muffled in
a cloak, roamed through the F.iubough St.
Antiiino, us was his wont, iu quest of ad
ventures. A he turned the corner of one of those
narrow lanes, tint ititt-rsgcted t h it q-iartrr at
that period, a piercing shriek burst upon
bis ear, mingled with sufFoc.itiug cries for
assistance.
The Duke's sword wa3 out in an instant,
lie was brave to rashness. Without a mo

He i ehtd 1 a fenulo struggling in tho

'What is your name?' he asked, as they
proceeded on thir way.
'Iiergeronette.' she replied.
'What a pretty nitno. And so you live

Yes.'
I dare 6ay that you have pleuty of sweet
hearts?' 'X'o, 1 haven't one.
What, no one that loves you?'
'Xone ' replied Bergeronette, quite sadly.
Would you uot like a sweetheart?'
' Perhaps.'
You must be particular in your choice or,
you would have a sweetheart before now.
What kind of one would you like, now?'
Those sparkling gray eyes were lifted to
his for a moment.
'I would like one, if you please, like

Like what?'
L'ke you'
Phew!' thought the Duke, 'I am getting
on here. Now, is this cunning, or is it sim

They walked on for some time in si
lence. Bergeronelte checked the Duke beforo a
little cottage with a garden in front. There
was a wicket g te leading into the garlen.
'Here is where I live,' bhe said.
Sao took a key from a girdle and unlock
ed the gate.
Will she invite me to enter?' thought
the Duke and the thought was father to
the wish.
Good night, sir, said Bergeronetta, 'and
many thanks for your ktndcess.
Sae is a Diana!' was the Dake's mental
reflection.
Shall I never have the pleasure of seeing
you again? oii 1 the Djke.

She is is right. But I mean what I
sav. As surely as the morrow comes, so
will I.
'Come. Good night.'
She turned from him, and was about to
enter the garden.
Bergeronette,' he said, quickly, 'one kiss
before I go. Surely my forbearance de
serves it.'
She made no answer, but inclined her
head gently towards him. For a moment
she lingered in his arms, and then tore her
self from his embrace and passed quickly
through the gate.
The Dukedetermined to follow her.
When he placed his hand against the gate
he found it was securely fastened. Bor
geronette had prudently looked it alter her.
So the Duke weut to h's lodgings be had
taken bachelor departments on his wedding
uav to uream ot Iiergeronette.
The next day he went to the cottage in
Rue St. Helene.
He was received by Bergeronette, timidly.
and introduced by her to her mother, a fine
matronly dame, who sat q uietly spinning in
the corner, and allowed the young couple to
rove about the garden at will.
The Duke thought she was a very sensi
ble old woman.
The Duke departed at the end of three
hours, more in lovetnan ever.
He came every day for a fortnight, and
every day he pressed his suit. But there
was only one way in which Bergeronette
could be won an honorable marriage.
The Duke was in dispiir and at his wit's
end. lie had a stormy scene with the King,
who threatened to send him to the Bastile
if he did not return to the Duchess.
So he came to Bergeronette, on the four
teenth day, to m ike a final eflrt to obtain
her. They were alone together in the gar
den. 'Hear me, Bergeronette,' he cried, when
he had exhausted every argument and found
her still firm. I swear to you that were I
free, this instant would I wed you. I will
confers all to you. I have told yon that I
am a Duke, but not mv title. Now you
sh ill know all. I am the Duke de Francho
Comitn, and lain abe'i'ly mtrriei!'
'MirrieJ!' echoed Bergeronette with a
smothered scream.
'I was forced into this union by the King's
coinrnm l. 1 lo not hive my w:te. 1 have
never seen her face. I left her at the altar's
foot, and we have never met since. She
posesse my ti'lo, but you alone possess my
heart. Fly with ma. In some distant land
we may dwell in happiness, blessed with
each other's society. Time may remove the
obstacle to our union, death may befr'end
us, a divorce may le obtained, and then I
swear to you by every saint in Heaven, you
shall becomo my Duchess!'
Were yoi free, you would really make
me your wife?'
I have pledged you my word.'
'I believe 'ou.'
You will fly with me?'
I will '
'Dvar Liuis,' she murmured, for so be had
taught her to call him, 'I a'so have some
thing to impart to you. My name is not

'What do you mean?'
I have a title equal to your own.'
'Then this old woman?'
'Is not my mo hor, but my nurse.'
And the mm who assaulted you?'
Was my lackey, instructed for the pur
poso. The D ike looked bewildered.
'And like you,' she continued, I am
M AP.RIEo!'
'I'll cut your husband's throat, exclaimed
the Duke, wildly.
'I dou't think you will when you know
him '
'Who is he, then, and who are you?'
'lam Lyiionie, Duches de Franche Compte,
and you are he?'
The Duke was thunder-struck.
Lyiionie knelt at his feet.
'Forgive me this little plot,' she pleaded,
'it wis to gain your love. If it has succeed
ed, I am happy if it has failed, with my
own lips I will sue the King for our di
vorce.' Up up to my heart, cried the Duke,
joyfully, as he caught her in his arms; 'you
have insured our mutual happiness. Ah,
none are so blind as those who will not see.
Little did I think when I stood blindfold by
your side at the altar that I was rejecting
such a treasure.
They passed their honeymoon in the lit
tle cottage, and the Duke was not sent to
the Bastile.
A droll fellow was asked by an old lady
to read the newspaper, and taking it, began
as follows: 'Last night yesterday morn
ing about two in the afternoon, before break

bought a big custard for a levy, and threw
it through a brick wall nine feet thick, and
jumping over it broke his right ankle off

and was drowned. About forty years after
that, on the same day, an old cat had twenty
turkey gobblers; a high wind blew Yankee
Doodle on a frying-pan. and knocked the
old Dutch church down, and killed a sow
and two dead pigs at Boston, where a deaf

The Radicals and the Border States
The Case Fairly Stated.
We extract the following from a recent
camber of the New York Journal of Com
merce, one of the soundest papers published
io the country;
"Now let any man calmly consider wheth
er the viewa and opinions of loyal Kentuck
ians are not more worthy to be regarded as
wholly disinterested than those of men from
Northern States. It is said that they may
be influenced by a desire to preserve slavery .
It is answered that that desire is their right
under the Constitution and in the Union, and
the mail who desires to deprive them of that
right is as much a disunionist as the man
who advocates laws providing mat massa-
chusetta shall not have cotton factories, or
Illinois shall not grow wheat. This view of
Kentucky presents all this slavery question
in a light which should make it eminently
clear to loyal men sincerely loving the Un
ion. Let it be borne in mind that the radi
cal plans are proposed as law for theUnited
States, and therefore for all the countiv.
Kentucky is not to be ranked below New
York or Ohio or Connecticut in her desires
and her demands, her protests and her rights.
There is a strange notion afloat among the
radicals that these border States are only iu
the position of proteges, not exact States' bat
in a sort of semi state condition, to be man
aged and governed by the general power at
Washington. The idea is fraught with dis
union. We need to keep before us constant
ly the truth that Missouri, Kentucky, Mary
land and Delaware are to-day the equals of
Illinois, Ohio.Pennsylvania and New Jersey,
on whose borders they rest, and if Oaio want
ed to abandou the Constitution to-day to get
rid of slavery, and Kentucky wanted to up
hold the Constitution to save slavery, the
loval man is bound by his oaths and bis na
tionality to staad with Kentucky against
Ohio.
What then dare any Northern or Eastern
or Western man claim as his right under the
Constitution which the Kentuckian may not
claim? Who proposes to make a distinction
between them? In times like these it be-

Cassius M. Clay spoke at Oddfellows
Hall. Washington, on the evening of the
12ih inst., and said repeatedly and distinct
ly in his speech that he would never draw
his sword so long as slavery was protected
by the Government. The following is an

Qr-A member of the Twenty-first New
York Regiment, writing to the Buffalo Co"r-
ier from near Culpepper, just after the late
battle of Cedar, or as some e i II it, Jsiaugnt
er Mountain, thus speaks of the conduct of
the rebels to our wounded:
The enemy having possession, would not
allow our forces to bring off the wounded.
They were engaged all day on Sunday in
burying their dead, and on Monday, nnder
operation of a flig of trace, they, gave ns
until three o'clock to bury ours and carry off
tbe wounded. DetaohmenU of both armies
then mingled freely together, eogiged io the
common work. I am pleased to sy they

WHO ARB THE TRAITORS?
The Republican papers sav Democrats are.
We wonder the lie does not blister their
tongues when they utter it. The annr now
in tho field, it is admitted, is composed of
more than one half as true, loyal Democrats
as ever breathed. There was never a class
of people more readily gave up all party
prejudices all party ties all political ani
mosity, than the Democratic masses, when
their country wasiodanger. All that Dem
ocrats ever Baked, or ever have asked in the
prosecution of this war, is fidelity to tha
Constitution. They wish to retain the free-
dom of the country after the rebellion is sdd-
I pressed. It is exactly upon this point that
i -ne aooutiooists are ot issue with them.
That because Democrats desire to restore
he Union and maintain the Constitution,
they are denounced as ''traitors" "secession
ists," and that too by those who desire to
sacrifice the Uniyn for their love of the ne
gro. Democrats can lay aside all partisan
feelings for the sake of their country. The
abolitionists ou the other band are determ
ined to compel the country to bow down to
the nigger divinity, and outrage every patri
otic instinct nn grounds of personal mean
ness and infidelity. Lt them be scouted of
every trne man and be made a hissing and
by-word everv where. They have no other
olject than the spoils and the abolition of
slavery, aod their idea is to protract the war
and increase the expenditure of blood and
treasure, in order better to accomplish their
object, the Union as it was. and the Consti
tution as it is, is to be bafflad that they may
retain their political ascendency. They are
to stigmatize every man as"traitor,'Mseces
siooist," "sympathiser," who will not bow
the koee to the abolition Moloch, as a party
scheme, that they may hold on to their
lease of power.
If any men have ever shown a determined
zal and patriotic ardor to put down all
armed resistance to National Jaw and su
premacy it has been the democracy of the
North and West in this struggle. They have
volunteered much more readily, and in
greater numbers than those who are so flip-
Dant in deLounc'ng them as traitors, riot
only have these abolition journals net 1st
and are expecteu to nil up tne rantts ot the
needed regiments. This isall right, but when
men with one breath tell us they are loyal
aud io favor of the Union, and in the next,
that the negroes must be put upon an equal
ity with the white men, there is an evident
inconsistency that cannot be reconciled by
true Union men. The record and nets of
tbe two parties are before he world. Which
has proved the most loyal?
"Old Abe" Must Diet ou Bull Pupa.
General Hendricks of Indiana spoke at
Eaton in that state and advises a change of
diet on the part of Old Abo." We quote
from tbe Cincinnati Gazette:
Gen. Hendricks closed in one of h's In
imitable speeches. He charged with a raking
fire along the whole line, and with good ef
fect, that matters in high places had been
dragging; that somebody was responsible for
! the depletion of our armv on the Potomac:
nai me swamps oi toe inicKanoniiny were
sending up a mournful tale to the country,
that by the everlasting hills and mrnnttinu
we must bave Generals whom it will not
take one year to go fifty miles, ac.d burrow-
ing in tbe ground all the time, and then run
from their boles when attacked. Sensation.
That Old Abe must wake up, and change
his diet; he has been feasting too long on
prairie chickens and sweetmeats. He must
eat more wildcats and bullpups, and less
snail-soup, and that would strengthen his
spinal column, and that foot would come
down that we read so much about, which hat
been up so long. Cheers and laughter.
That the masses were beginning to move
and everything from the rattlesnake up to
President, and particularly Presidentmakers,
if f Hind in the way, would be and ought to
be rammed and jammed into a 64 pounder
and shot against the gates of hell. Cheers
and cries of "good." That Generals bave
been modified, and millionsof people morti
fied; that with Fremont's old boots and
Douglas old stockings on two ramrods,
more could bave been done, more than has
been done by those who have had the power
to do, for our cause and country
Isdiosast. Sjme of our Republican
get very indignant when tbey are classed
with AboMtiooists. All we bave got
o say to them ic come ont from among
the 'foul party.' The Abolitionists have the
Republican party in their keeping; they
move and coutrol them like puppets, to ac
complish the end they have in view. And
as long as these men act with them, they
roust partake of the odium attached to their
actions. Thev will be judged by the com
pany they keep. If they wish to establish
a good character as Union men for them
selves and posterity, they mnt cut loose
from Abolitionism and all its affinities.
