FOR THE TARBORO PRESS.

My dear Mr. Press: Hark! my muse
has struck the lyre of erief - its tremulous
chords warble the tale of woe: its sweet
thodgh sad melody is blended with thp
aiMl nK breezes and even woos the fra-
grant flowers to weep at the recital of its
tale, and as it courts the sympathy of all
natj r, 'tis borne upward to the seat of
mercy and there elicits an ear. Its teach
ing? is morality its tenor punishment,
anu as it faintly dies away, its distant echo
is, revenge on the guilty destroyer of un
conscious innocence.
A smile of innocence she wore.

A flood of sweetness it did pour
O'er every outward grace.
er cottage slept beside a brook
Which ripled, brawled along,
And broke the stilness of the nook,
With gushmgs of its song.
Ana there the maid would blithely stray,
i Vhetever the day Was o'er,
jind sweeti carol on her way
I Strains whicK1 her heart would pour.
The tittle birds in sier delight,
I Each music-tone woui'.d quote;
And the woods, from morn till night,
Echoed the lovely note.
nd when with gladsome step she trod,
The greenwood's cool brown shade,
Each floweret would joyous nod
Its little blooming head.
Each thing a her approach seem glad,
So liehlsomely went she,
mparting to whate'er was sad,
Some portion of her glee.
The traveller paused, and wonder took
His breast, as e'en she smiled
e'd ne'er seen one, before, to look
So like sweet nature's child.
As years flew o'er that maiden's head
No charms they took but gave
The same sweet, guileless life she led,
Unruffled by a wave.

She loved so fond, that trusting one,
She yielded to his art. -

says: "We never go beyond a glass of
lemonade in our bets, and are willing to
stake it on the election of the Taylor man
against the field." You would lose it,
Mr.-Bulletin; for it deserves to be men
tioned, as a remarkable fact, that though
Mr. Toole has been out for weeks, with the
Taylor flag flying, and though he gives it
as his opinion that Gen. Taylor is equal,
in many respects, to Washington, and
greatly superior to Jackson, yet the whigs
are very backward and tardy in nocking
to his standard. The Democrats are satis
fied with their nominee, Gen. Daniel, and
will give him their cordial support; but
"Ae Taylor man against the field" is
likely to make but a poor showing on th'e
first of August- unless indeed the whigs
should evince the regard they profess for
Gen. Taylor, by coming forward to the
aid of the man who so boldly declares him
to he his first choice for the Presidency.
And why is this so? The answer is
easy. Whatever the leaders may say or
do, or however broken down politicians
may seek to build up their fortunes by at
taching themselves to a successful warrior,
the people are not yet prepared to take up
the question of the Presidency. They are
generally pleased with the existing state
of things; they do not believe that their
condition could be improved or the coun
try profited, by going into a campaign for
the Presidency eighteen months before the
