POETRY.
THE tiIFBY'S WABNING.
Do not trust him, gentle lady,
Though his voice be low and sweet;
Ileed not him who kueols before thee,
Gentle pleading at thy feet.
Now thy life is in its morning;
Cloud not this thy happy lot;
Li.-ten to tbo gipsv’s warnin'*
oemie iaujh tijo. u.«.
Do not lorn so cold’.y from me, .»
Lady. 1 would guard the youth
From his st ru and withering power.
1 would only tell the trntb.
T would WM'T thee from all danger.
Have thee from the tempter’s snare:
Lady, shun the darkseyed stranger:
1 have warned thee, new—Beware/.
Lady, once there lived a maiden,
Pare and bright, and like tb-c, fair:
But he wooed, and wooed- and won her—
Filled her gentle heart with care:
Then he heeded not her mouruing.
Nor cared he her life to save.*
Soon she perished— -now she’s sleeping
In the cold and silent grave.
Keep thy gold. I do not wish it;
Lady, I have prayed lor this—
For the hour when I might foil him—
Rob him o( expected bliss.
Gentle lady, do not wonder
At my words, so cold and wild:
Lady, in tb\t green grave yonder
Lies the gipsy’s only child.
LOVE IN THE COUNTRY.
A Horn ait tic Affair in
Hopkins County,
it Is Rone up in Original Style
in Prose and Poetry,
We find the following in the
Madisonvillc (Ky.) Times, of April
23rd :
AN ELOPEMEN T
Something out of the usual order
of things in this Latitude.
On Tuesday night last, ihc 14th
inst., Mr. L. W. Gatlin, living ten
miles south of this place, becoming
enamored ol the wife of Mr. Valen
tine Bailey, a neighbor of his elop
ed with her, and his whereabouts
is now unknown. Mr. Bailey and
his truant wife had beeu living to
gether for the last seven or eight
years upon the most amicable
terms—never a word passing be
tween them that was calculated, in
the slightest degree, to ruffle their
feelings or mar tho harmony of the
domestic hearth ; and the only
reason she assigns for leaving one
whose pleasure it was ever to
please.is that she had loved Gatlin
since lSofi hotter than any hnman
living. Oh, thou unfaithful wos
man. Mrs. Doshe Bailey left one
child—dear little Haddocks—who
will no more be the recipient of
fond caresses from a mother—what
magic in the name of mother! It
seems to us that it must be a strange
infufnat'Oil that would thus induce
Ia mother to desert her darling off
spring.
Gatlin's reason for leaving one
who had never given offense, is
about the same as that of Mrs.
Bailey—that he did not love his
wife as he should, and loved his
i neighbor’s better. Poor depraved
human nature ; wo are ever covet
ing something ttiat belongs to our
neighbor. Gatlin left with his un
offending wife two little boys, with
her to bear the shame of bis dis
graceful conduct. He took with
him $375 belonging to a sister cf I
his who was living with him add
ing theft to the great sin of hanker
ing after that which belonged to
his neighbor.
There is a day of reckoning in
store for them which will sooner or
later overtake them. Below we
give just as we received them, a
letter from Gatlin to his wife,
which is decidedly the coolest and
most impudent production we have
read lately, and one from Mrs,
Bailey to her husband which is the
most amusing. Here they are : ,
L. W, GATLIN TO HIS WIFJ
D. P. Gatlin—Madam : I take

DOSIIE BAILEY TO HER HUSBAND.
Tine : You need not think that
Cousin Luit persuaded me for to
go with him, for he did not. He
says he has loved me ever since I
was a child, and I have loved him
ever since 1856, and I feel like I
wanted to live with him the balance
of my days, so help me God. Tine
you have never mistreated me. I
would the Lord nose, but I did not
love you like I wish to, and I am
again to stay with him the ballance
of my day 8, so help me God, and
he says he will stay with me as
long as there is a breath of life in
his body, so help him God, and I
have all confidence ia him to be
lieve what he tells me; and if all
the people in the world wa3 to
come after me I would not come
back, and I want it understood,
too : lam a oncst woman, and I,
want all of you to understand it ,
and cousin Luit sais I am the ones
test woman he ever was seen —he
has been with me enuf to know
that / am. 1 have give you up
everything but part of my close,
and I tuck your nag, but 1 think I
ort to have her, if 1 had thought I
was not worthy of her I would not

derstaud that I was not forst iu
this, for I am agoin with him be
cause / love him better than any"

I body in the world. Ino you will
tall think that he persuaded me,
Abut he did not. You need not
grieve after me for / would not
want to live with noboddy if / was
you that did not love me better
than all others. / never have bin
satisfied since / have bin living
with you, because / loved cousin
Luit before I ever saw you ,and he
says the reason he did not wait for
me till / got grown, is, because he
waited on Winey and Sary awhile
and the old folks got to cutting up
about it, and told him if he was in
his place he would not go there
any more, and he said ho turuod in
aad married France, but still loved
me and was sory he did marry. /
don’t want to to live with nobody
that / don’t love for / can’t treat
them as / wish to. . /am going to
leave Haddock in tho Lord’s care
and yours to treat him kind and
good it you please : he is your

DOSHE F. BAILEY.
Mrs. Sardinia Moore, the mother
of Mrs. Gatlin, grows poetic over
the unhappy situation of her daugh
ter, and gets off the following,
I which we give “verbatim et litera
tim,” as we are not authorized to
make any corrections. The read
er will oltserve that each verse
closes with “Doshe.” which is the
Christian name of the absconding
Mrs. Bailey :

Anna Dickinson on General
Grant. —The gentle Anna ia one
of the ablest and most popular oi>
ators iu the pay of the Radi
cal party. She has done good
service for the party in time past.
Just now she appears to be stump
ing it in the interest of those Rad
icals who do not favor the nouns
nation of General Grant. Anna
spoke at Elmira last week, and
took occasion to hit the man who
does not talk some severe blows. —
She warned and threatened in her
loving way. She said :
•The Radical party cannot live
upon the memory of its good
deeds.'
‘Your work in the past won’t
save you.’
‘You Radicals shirk the unpop"
ular necessity ot patting the black
race forward.’
‘You want to cover up tho ue"
gro with Grant.’
‘Unless you give tho Northern
negro the ballot you won't get the
support of the negroes South.’
‘lt is not sufficient that Grant
was a soldier. McClellan was a
soldier. Fitz John Porter was a
soldier, /t is not sufficient to
write against any man’s name—
soldier.’
‘By nominating Grant you show
yourselves cowai ds and polcroous.’
‘Grant is no standard-bearer
when principles are to be fought
for.’
I ‘You want Grant without a
platform for the sake of expediency
'aud winning the next election.’
‘i wouldn't have a personal
I quarrel with General Grant. /
j dare say what a great many men
are thinking.’
| 7 don’t want Grant for Prcsi"
'dent/
‘Speech is silver, silence is gold"
ten.’ Grant’s silence is leaden.’
| ‘He must speak before he gets
the nomination.’
11 'You can’t ‘hurrah for Grant’
> and win on that issue.’
• ‘Shame, Shame on those Repub
- licaus who say : 7 believe the
’ black man should vote in Louisiana
but under no circumstances here in
Elmira.’
‘Disintegration stares tho Radi
cals in the face, because they are
ashamed to como out boldly and
openly for negro suffrage.’
‘Don't hide your principles, if
you’ve got any, behind the smoke
of one man’s cigar.’

The following are the comments
of the Hartford Times upon the
late election in Connecticut:
Never did the wires speed moro
glorious nows from State to State,
than was sent from Connecticut
last Monday night. Connecticut,
true to the Union— steadfast in her
adherence to the Constitution—un
swerving in her opposition to mil
itary despotism, negro suffrage,
the usurpation of Congress, and
the squandering of public monev
Connecticut has again recorded
her verdict, /t i 6 for the Constitu
tion and the right.
-The issues were clearly made,
viz ;
1- General Grant for President
He was defeated by a larger ma
jority than swamped Hawley last
spring.
2. The unconstitutional acts of
Congress. They are rebuked.
3. The impeachment of the
President. The people of Con
necticut frown upon it.
4. Military despotism at the
South. As in the Revolutionary
struggle Connecticut puts her foot

tional amendment at home.—de
feated emphatically.
6. The great Preside!) tal con
test of next fall, which was brought
boldly into the contest by tho Rad
icals, in this election has been de
cided against them !
7. Tho corruptions of Congress
—tho unjust expenditures of the
public money--the Stan ling armies
to oppres the people—the increase
of thejpublic debt-all these wrongs
have received the comdemnation
of the peoploof Connecticut.
What a noble triumph! A
triumph of priciple of tyranny,
corruption, usurpation ! It is a
victory as siffcant as it is valua
ble to tho cause of justice and the
Union.
