'Twas hut a bubble yet 'twas bright ; And gayly danced along ttie stream Of life's wild torrent In tbe light Of sunbeams sparkling like a dream Of heaven's own bliss, for loveliness For fleet ncis like a passiog thought j And ever of such dreams as these The tissue of my life Is wrought For I have dreamed of pleasure when The Sun of young existence smiled Upon my way ward path, and then Her promised sweets my heart beguiled, But when I came those sweets to sip, Tbey turned to gall upon my lip. And I hare dri amtd of Friond.hijt, too f For friendship, I had thought, was made To be man's solace in tho shade, And glad liira in the light; and so, I fondly thought lo find a friend Whse soul with mine would sweetly blend. And as two placid streams unite. And rvtl their waters in one bright And tranquil current to tbe sea, So might our happy spirits bo Borne onward to eternity ; But he betrayed me, and with pain I woke to sleep and dream again. And then I dreamvd of Love, and all The cluttered visions of tbe pat S.trmed airy nothings to that last Bright dream. It threw a magical Enchantment o'er esinU-nce cast A glry on my path so bright I seemed to breathe and feci Us light; But now that blissful drram is o'er. And I hvo waked to dream no more. Beyond tbe farthest glimmering star That twiii lc in the arch above, There U a wurid of truth and I vie Which earth's vile pa.sivus never mar. Oh, could I soatch the eagle's plumes. And soar to that bright world away Which God's own holy light Illumes With glories of eternal day ! How gUdly every lingering tie That binds me down to earth I'd sever And leave fur that blent home on bigb. This huliuw. hearted world fxrever.

Weston made his final ap eiranee before a Chicago audience laxt Thursday evening, Ufn the occasion of a arcwell benefit tendered him as a tcMi uionial by the citizens of Chicago who admire his rbick and endurance. He entertained the audience for au hour with the detail and incident of hi trip, par icularly dwelling upon the various trials to accomplish one hundred mile in twen ty-four hours, and the reason fur his failure. Upon the firt attempt hi foot was caught under a looae plank in the side walk and xo badly injured as to dis able him for tho time : on the sccoud at tempt ho wa thrown d-wn by tho c.owd nd his Iett hip badly sprained : the third trial was in the face of a driving storm. At the close of his remarks he appeared upon the stage attired in his walking costume, and gave the audience a sample of his gaits, four, five, six miles an hour, etc.. including three mile an hour backwards. He then walked cigh - a teen time around the hall, requiring four short turns at each circuit over a slippery floor, making a d:stance ot one mile in muc minutes and thirty seconds, feat which was received by his audi ence, with round applause. CSJ- The Radical editors in Salem are just now having a delightful time. It seems Clarke has said somethinix in praise, of J. S. Smith's personal char actcr; this has given mortal' offence to M'Donald ; ho calls on "Union men" to help him abate the "nuis ance," as lie politely terms Clarke. The "Unionist" also calls him a " con temptible puppy,"" an ignominous ass " and threatens that if Clarke be not squelched he will "withdraw from tho canvass," and go where his ser vices : will' be more highly apprccia ted. This is all very interesting to mere "looker-on" inVenice. When rogues fall out honest men e;ct their dues.

I i 'adical leaders can tartling illustration which actuitcs the rad be conceived, than that which this af- air affords. The cowardice as well as the bravado of guilt is stamped upon its face. It shows utter absence of confidence in the constitutional efficiency of the meas ures which arc applicable to the south, and an utter want of moral courazo to uphold the principles which are iuvolvcd. consoiousncss of right usually inspires calmness and strength, and the party which realizes it seldom shrinks from the contingencies incident to political war fare. .These extreme radicals, however. wem to shut their eyes when they rush ahead. Ihcy are afraid of the ground they tread upon, and of phantoms at ev ery turn. Now it is of the President, anon of district commanders, and yet again of the supreme court. We sua- pect that they also begin to fear the peo ple in whose name they act, and whose instinctive sense of iustice revolts a2ainn tho aW of their delegated power.
