Gaiter Bools.
A little glove stirs up the heart
As tides stir up the orean,
And snow-white muslin—when it fits—
Wakes many a curious notion.
All sorts of lady-fixins thrill
My feelings as they’d orter,
But little female gaiter boots
Are death and nothing shorter.
And just to put you on your guard,
— I’ll give you short and brief,
A small hotel experience
Which filled my heart with grief.
Last summer, at the f Oliver,”
I stopped a week or more.
And marked two “ bootees” every morn
Before my neighbor’s door ;
Two boots with patent-leather tips—
Two boots which seemed to say
“An angel trots around in us”—
They stole my heart away.
And often in my nightly dreams
They swept before my face,
A lady growing out of them
As flowers from out a vase.
But,oh! one morn f saw a sight
Which struck me tike a stone—
Some other name was on the book
Those boots were not alone!
A great tall pair of other boots
Were standing by their side,
And off they walked that afternoon
And with them walked a bride.

JPAtOlsrECTUG
FOR THE
! Tri-weekly True Democrat.
The publishers of the True Democrat
propose to issue a “tri-weekly edition” of their
paper, in addition to the weekly, and com
mence its publication about the first (l.ty
of June next, or sooner, if 1,000 subscri
bers be obtained.
The great battle of the age is to be fought
in November next, and it is necessary that
every man in the community should be kept
informed of the movement of the enemy. The
very existence of the South is at stake, and
It becomes every Southron to be up and doing.
Intending to be firm and decided, yet calm
and prudent, it will be oilr aim to defend the
rights of the South without bluster or bravado.
The times demand increased activity on the
part of democrats, and that full and speedy
information should be spread before the pub
lic. This is the first enterprise of the kind
in the State—is demanded by the exigencies
of the times, and we confidently look to the
Democracy for its support.
Terms.— Five dollars a year. For the
campaign, say until August loth, “one dol
lar,” or till Nov. 15th, “two dollars.” Pay
ment expected on the “issue of the first num
ber.” The size of the tri-weekly will be 25
by 38 inches, containing 28 columns.
