Only the royalty of youth is tendered love in full measure; those who fail to attain or grasp it then find this door, from which comes enticing perfume and sound of luring music, shut against them for all time, and no matter how appealingly they may lean against its portals, it will rarely open again, for they have been laid by to be sold as remnants like the draper's goods which have failed to attract a buyer during the brief season they were displayed.

The citizens received him with groans and hisses; the soldiers murmured; the officers tendered their resignations. He merely replied that his orders left nothing to his discretion; but the reply was made with a sternness of tone, and a gloominess of countenance, which showed, and probably was intended to show, that he acted with reluctance and with self-reproach.
The men were posted around the tobacco shed in which Booth and Herold were secreted and their surrender was demanded by Conger.
