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 tho opportunity of writtiug you A ! few lines to let you know my no-i tions, /am started to leave coun try ; my reason for leaving is short and soon told. lain going With one that 1 love better than any body else in the World, and bc lieve she loves me better than she does any body else. / have loved her twelve or thirteen years, and for the last five or six years / have got to be such A fool About her that every body could see it, and I don’t love you like I ought to, and is not satisfied to live with you.— I want you and Billev and Aman* Every thing that / have ieib won is for yon to pav what I ow, and keep the rest for the children.— Yeu had better get Billey Goad to live with you as long as yon can.— Any trade you can make with him willjbe rite, for / want the cLildren to have all thar is left after my dots is Paid.

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 of taken her. I want you to un derstaud that I was not forst iu this, for I am agoin with him be cause / love him better than any" “YINCTT AMOR PATRIA” GREENSBORO', GA., MAY 21, 18G8. I body in the world.

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 child, ann J know It. 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 : RIMES FOR THE TIMES, Composed by Mr*. Sardinia Moore, aad Dedicated to bet- dear daughter, D. F. Gatlin. Tliare is a man has left his heme, His family aad hie fireside: His family is bat small you wi ll sec— He has left thim all for the Doshe. —his sister doth groove; ry well no. Don’t greave iny moore for parr and the Doshiao. His wife so kind, aud sister tru. 0. how can ho bid thim all adieu: O. reched man yoo soon will be, Yon have left us all lor the Doshe. I Ever strange aud ever tru, ! Whin will this journey tire thare view. : The fountains fall, the rivers flow, He left so soon with the Dosbiao. O, blessed God, and wicked man. I will pray for him while on *hisland, I will prase him cow whar ’or he be, In feren part with the Doshe. 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 Voit'e oi the People. 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 anon tvrar-ts. 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. Horible MardcTlnd Suicide. A dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial, from Dolawarc, fudia ana, says : About five miles north of this place, a horrible tragedy was enact ed yesterday [Sunday.] Three beys, ons of Henry Foge, aged ten. twelve, and sixteen years, were, for some purpose, out in a field, when there seems have arisen •some difficulty between them them.— The oldest had nu axe with him.— In their disputes, he mashed the heads of his younger brothers, killing one outright, and leaving the other for dead, yet the young est was still alive last night. The older boy saw * his father coming toward the scene and ran to the barn. No attention was i aid to him until the father got tho dead aad wounded boys to his house, .when he went to the barn to look for the oldest boy, and lound him hanging to a beam. dead. The boy had gone to the barn and got oui a ropo, and hung himself. lie is a Rood man who grieves rather for him that injures him than for his own suffering who sooner shows mercy than anger, who offers violence to his appetite, in all things endear r ing to subdue the flesh to the spirit.

A young man commenced visiting a young ' woman, and appeared to bo well pleased.

That was tho last time the young man visited that young woman. He ia now a wealthy man, and has oue of the best wo men in the country for fcla wife. Tho lady who disliked the name ot me chanic is now the witc of a miserable fool— a regular vagrant about grog shop*—and the soft, verdant, ailty, miserable girl is obliged to takoln washing in order to sup port herself and children. Yon dislike the name of mechanic, eh f You. whose brothers are well dressed loaf crs.

Far better discharge the well-fed pauper with all his rings, jewelry, brazenness and pomposity, and lake to your affections the callous-handed, intelligent and industiiom mechanic. Thousands have bitterly regretted their folly who have tnrnrd their backs to hon esty. A few years have taught them a e» vere lesson. A little four year old child in Portland told his father he was a fool. On being rep riuianded by bis mother and required to say he was sorry, he toddled up to the insulted parent aud exclaimed, ‘‘papa, I’m sorry you’s a fool."
