Select Poetry.
KISSING IN THE STREET.
Did you ever notice mortals—
Now I'll bet a cent you did—
Now the ladies-- pretty creatures—
Can't keep their feelings hid?
But they are kissing out in public;
Kissing everywhere they meet;
Kiss—kiss at church, at shopping,
And—kissing--in the street !
A. 0. FURST
Behold a charming maiden,
Arrayed in fashions bright,
She meets upon the sidewalk
A friend she saw last night:
"How are you darling Nellie !,
How. glad I am to meet,"
Then a dainty shake of fingers
And a—kissing—in the street !
A bachelor beside us
Says, "pity this is done
So much, for I am certain
It can't be any fun ;
This kissing out in public :
Kissing everywhere they meet;
Kiss, kiss, at church and shopping,
And—kissing—in the street."
" But the secret great, is this, sir:
The maiden has no beau—
No gentlemen to kiss her—
She must her feelings show
By kissing out in public ;
Kissing all she may meet:
Kiss, kiss, at church and shopping;
And—kissing—ix the street!"
Now, merry hearted maidens,
And women more discreet,
Give over this bad habit
Of kissing in the street;
Remember that false traitor
Who knelt at Jesus' feet,
And don't become a greater
By kissing in the street
Be noble-minded women,
With hearts attend to right;
Then shall each see the other
As those who dwell in light;
But never for an instant—
Whoever you may meet—
Be caught like silly noodles,
A kissing in the street.
Select Miscellany.
GEO. M. YOCUM.
The New-York Ledger contains the
following mournful yet tender rewini
ceuces of the White House, and its in-
mates, during a very few years past.—
It embodies lessons which we may all
profitably read:
"The te4graph announced, a few day ci
ago, that whle Andrew Johson, late
President of the United States, was at
Athens, Alabama; on his way toPulaslti,
where he was to make a speech, he re
ceived intelligence of the death of his
son, Col. Robert Johnson.
"Andrew Johnson always exhibited
the tenderest affection for his son, on
whom he had bestowed an excellent ed
ucation. He was a young man of su•
perior abilities and remarkably pleasant
manners. He had been a member of
the Legislature of Tennessee, and the
upward path to usefulness and distinc
tion lay open and easy before him. One
only besetting sin forever blighted all
his bright prospects; he had an uncon
trollable thirst for stron - g, drink. The
last we heard of him, previous to the
news of his death, he was somewhere in
an inebriate asylum.
=3
' The announcement of Col. Robert
Johnson's decease carries us back to the
White House in the first days of Andrew
Johnson's Administration. Robert was
then one of his father's Private Secre
taries. Col. W. A. Browning was anoth
er. Browning was one of the handsom
est men in the world—tall, muscular,
finely formed, with an open, pleasing
countenance, and a complexion as clear,
and a skin as fine, as Ireland or nan
tucket gives to the fairest of women.—
He had graduated at Yale College, and
was a fine belles lellres scholar, and a
man of many accomplishments. He had
been with Mr. Johnson in Tennessee for
several years, and went with him to the
White House. But his stay was of short
duration. He received the appointment
of Secretary of Legation to Mexico. He
never left the country, however. The
same habit which has now carried off
young Johnson, did its fatal work with
him more speedily. He was extremely
popular, and the idol of women. Yet
we have seen him turn from the loveliest
of smiles, and from the gayest scenes of
festivity, and quietly remark: My
heart is broken—l have no wish to live.'
"Mr. Browning was married, when
quite young, to a beautiful girl, who
lived but a short time after hermarriage.
He never seemed to recover, in any de,
gree, from the shock of her death. On
the contrary, the pain of the separation
seemed constantly to deepen and grow
more poignant in his heart, The last
time we met him was in Washington,
only a short time before his death. In
the course of a brief conversation, he
said : I have just parted with the most
beautiful women in America; butrny heart
is buried in my wife's grave, and I want to
die.'
"Soon afterward, be shut himself up
in a room, and deliberately drank whis
ky until it killed him.
"At the beginning of the time of whioh
we speak, another inmate of the White
Hous6 was Preston King. How jolly he
looked and felt—and how his hearty
laugh shook his great, heavy sides !
King, though a mild-mannered man, and
a lawyer by education, had been an
athlete and a fighter in his young days,
'and was always a bit of a dandy, weigh
ing, we should say, upward of an eighth
of a tun. -He used to receive, at the
White Pique, arrayed in white pants and
Untimely Deaths.
vest, and wearing. something like the
old-fashioned pump shoes, highly polish
ed—such as Prosper M. Wetmore used
to wear when he. called on Secretary of
State, Marcy.
"We have said, Mr. King felt very
jolly now. He was the President's other
eelf, and bad things his own way. He
considered that he had been snubbed
and badly treated by the Seward men,
in the election of Morgan to supersede
him, when he had served only one term
in the Senate; but now he was greater
than Seward; for was he not almost as
good as President, while Seward was
only Secretary of State ?
"Alas ! that very elevation to power
was the cause of Mr. King's awful and
untimely death. His influence—his as
cendency—at the White House was felt
to be altogether too great. by the jealous
and envious politicians with whose pur
poses it interfered. They cunningly
contrived to banish him to honorable ex
ile, by making him Collector of the Port
of New-York, an office for which he had
neither taste nor adaptation. Its per
plexing, complicated and harassing du
ties—and, we have always thought, the
discovery of the trick which had
been practiced upon him—preyed upon
his mind, until his reason tottered and
yielded. With the cunning of a deter
mined madman, he stole away from the
friendly keeper who undertook to watch
him; and having purchased a large bag
of shot, he tied it securely to his neck,
then took passage on a ferry-boat, and
sprang from its deck into the North river.
Several months afterward, his body rose
to thesurface,and floated ashore,where it
was discovered and reeognized;and it was
taken to his home at Ogdensburg, and
buried.
"The good old man who was steward
at the White House then, and whose face
was so familiar to so many—he too is
dead. He was followed to his grave by
sincere mourners, among whom were the
President and his family.
" When we recall all these, and we
think of Old Abe, and of his darling lit
tle son Willie, who yielded up his young
spirit in that house—and we see the
great crowd surging in and out of the
grand receptions of the new powers that
be—we pause for a moment to wonder
whether the living who are there to-day
ever think of-those who were therein all
the power and pride of State, so short a
time ago,and who may now be flitting as
substantial shadows among them !
Spoiling Children.
Spoiling, in its earlier stages, is rather
pleasant. It consists in letting one's
darling have ifs own precious little way
on all occasions, and the way is such a
pretty, roguish, winsome way, nobody
can see any harm in it.. Grown up will
fulness is quite a different thing from
baby willfulness. It gets teeth and claws,
so to speak, and isn't nice to contem
plate. Spoiling appears to mean a great
many different things. One of its mild
forms is total disregard for the feelings
and the convenience of others. If you
meet a peculiarly upsetting woman on a
journey, or a party of pleasure, who
ought to be square when she is triangu
lar, and triangular when she is square,
you may set it down that she was a spoil
ed child.
There are parents who would stint
their allowance of fire or food in order
to indulge their children's whims. The
idea of parental sacrifice becomes mor
bid, especially if the child happens to be
admired and praised. There are moth
ers who pinch their own wardrobes to
bedeck their littlegiris in expensive gar
ments, fostering a taste for extravagant
dress which they cannot honestly in
dulge.
Although people in the lower ranks,
or the middle class, do contrive, occas
ionally, to spoil their children by indul
gence, the business is not carried on
wholesale, as it is among the rich, Ne
cessity is a severe and yet a kind step
dame. Her motto is service, and service
is the salt of life. In a large family, not
very well to do, the older children edu
cate the younger ones - . They feel al
most as responsible as the parents, and,
perhaps, exert more influence in their
little Way. Such a child-life seernsbald
and gray, compared NV Rh the fairy scenes
through which richer children dance and
sing; but it, in reality, keeps young
tastes fresh and pure, and Whets the ap
petite, instead of cloying it with enjoy
ment. This is only a part of the benefit
derived -from a childhood taxed with
some responsibility. and judiciously de
nied as well as indulged.
Self-control is the one thing spoiled
children never learn. Their desires are
always rampant. We see the features of
the little boy who kicked his nurse and
brow-beat his mother in some passion
ate, dissipated, irregular young man, and
we shake our heads and say, " We knew
how he would turn out." The spoiled
girl develops into an exacting, unscru
pulous woman. Life must center round
her, the world must wait upon her, not
because she has any special merit, nor
because she has ever done anything, but
merely because she was a spoiled child.
Her husband is a martyr. I have gen
erally noticed that such girls marry
meek little men, who seem to consider it
their principal business in life to carry
about a load of shawls, and attend to the
poodle.
—A little girl 'was told to spell fer
ment and give its meaning, with a sea
tence in which it was used. The follow
ing was literally her answer: "r-e•r

love to ferment in the garden."

The Home of Barbara Fritchie.
The last remnant of the old house
where Barbara Fritchie lived and toiled,
has been removed, and laborers are now
employed in digging some ten feet below
the original foubdation, as if ti root out
the spot of earth upon which it stood.—
ti few days more, and the . tourest, the
patriot and the poet will have pointed to
them the muddy waters of Carroll creek
as where once stood the weird old house
of the faithful defender of her country's
flag.
It seems to have been the determina
tion of our city authorities to erase from
the memory of man that the "Fritchie
woman" ever lived; and, guarded by this
desire, the first step was- to destroy the
house in which she had lived, and where,
to Stonewall Jackson,
"Shoot, if you must, this old groy head,-
But spare your country's flag, she said,"
and to tl,e accomplishment of this object
they turned all the genius and ability
with which nature has so liberally gifted
them. They first passed an ordinance
to widen and straighten Carroll creek.—
They then decided that the Fritchie
house was in the line of the proposed
improvement, and then agreed to "wipe
the damned spot out."
"Barlmra Filiehie''s work is o'er,
The rebel rides his raids no more."
Yet the spirit was predomiaent, and to
gratify the hatred of the house, render.
ed immortal by the poet, they have, in
straightening the creek, absolutely made
three sharp angles to strike the point at
which they tamed. Sagacious men!
know they not that "the blood of the
martyrs is the seed of the church?" The
name of Barbara Fritchie shall live long
after that of those who, "dressed in a
little brief authority," shall have passed
away forever. The tuneful Nine have it
in care, and poetry and sang shall waft
it down to future ages, and men shall
say that Whittier wrote when Barbara
lived.
Now, that the long-loved, pictures_que
little house has gone forever, an air of
romance and of mystery is thrown around
it and its history, which could never
been so long as it stood a material ob
ject to the view, and as over the old site
the sluggish waters of the creek flow to
ward the sea, they will ye't whisper the
name of BArbara to a free'arid loyal peo
ple. Photographsihave been taken of
it, and the pencils of artists will present
it as pictured to the eye of genius, and
their conceptions will yet adorn the
palace and the cottage, wherever breathes
that. patriotic love of country of which
Barbara Fritehie is the embodinfent,and
her lionse the stand -point.
On the desk before me, I have two
photographs, one of the good old woman,
the other of the strange, old-fashioned
house; that of the house is now doubly
dear to me, and in a few years will be
priceless; the firm, yet gentle features of
the old lady look on me kindly as I write,
and seem to smile, as I make the propo
sition, that a monument, on which shall
be recorded her patriotism and heroism,
shall be erected, in this city, to her
memory. On the pedestal might be
inscribed—
"Up rose Barbara Fritehie theb,
Bowed with her four-score years and ten,
Bravest of all in Fredericktown,
She took up The flag the men haul'd down
In her attic window the staff she set
To show thrt one heart was loyal yet."
Thus did the Romans and their matrons.
Let some one,more able than I,take up this
subject, and the necessary money can be
raised; if not here, in those parts of the
country where honor and patriotism are
still held in reverence, and the love for
the old flag still burns warm and true.

" Well, a dollar or two a week, I sup

Jim, taking a pencil and a piece of pa

the manufacturer, "my son has a rich

Sunday Sickness
Dr. , among other valuable pa-,
pars, a few years ago, published one de
scribing this remarkable disease, which.
has not yet been treated in books of Pa-.
thology.
1. This disease is of the intermitting
kind, attacking the patient in violent
paroxysms, which return every seventh
day. These paroxysms return only on
the Lord's day, and hence it is called
Sunday Sickness—but by the faculty it
is technically known by no other name
than "Dici Dominici Morbus."
2. It partakes somewhat of the nature.
of ague, especially as it is attended with
a great degree of coldness. This coldness
is first apparent, early in the morning.
of the Lord's day; in many oases seizing
the patient before he has left his bed.—
But it, begins in the region of the heart,
and is attended with dullness of head,
followed by ya.wning and lethargy.

5. In other cases, there has beengreat
uneasiness in the house of God, and a
disposition to complain of the length of
the sermon, though they have been known
to sit very contentedly, in a play-house,
several hours at a time.
6. Persons affected with this disease
never mourn on account of their con
finement from public Worship, as many
afflicted with other diseases often do.
6. These persons often surprise their
neighbors with their great 'activity and
health on Monday, however unfavorable
the weather may be.
S. Most of the faculty ngree that ihe:e
is a low, feverish heat, technically call
ed febris or fever of the world,
which may be detected in these patients,
during the intervening days of the week.
9. There also seems to be a loss of ap
petite, for savory food, and a want of
relish for wanis vitie bread of life,which,
in this case, is the indispensable remedy
for the disease.
10. Persons affected with this disease,
generally have a disrelish for private
religious exercises of the closet, and the
reading of the Scriptures.
11, This disease is also contagious;
neighbors receive it from neighbors, and
children from parents. -
WIIIP ME, BUT DON'T CRY.-A pious
father had devoted great attention to the
education. of his son, who had maintain
ed an unblemished reputation until the
age of fourteen, when he was detected
in a deliberate falsehood.
The father's grief was great. and he
determined to punish the offender severe
ly. Ile made the subject one of prayer;
for it was too important, in his esteem,
to be passed over as a common occur
rence of the day.
Ile then called his son, and prepared
to inflict the punishment, But the foun
tain of the father's heart was broken up.
Ile wept aloud. Ile saw the struggle be
tween love and justice in the parent's
bosom, and broke out with his usua
earnestness, "Father, father, whip me
as much as you please; but don't cry."
The point was gained. The father
saw that the lad's character was sensi
bly affected by this incident. He grew
up, and became one of the most . distin
guished Christian ministers in America.
THE LAST CHICKEN GONE.—When the
Conference assembled in Hillsborough,
some years since, on the last day of the
session, a lad, whose dad entertained
some half-dozen preachers, entered the
room where some ministers were seated,
in a terrible state of excitement.
<< What's the matter,lsaae," asked one,
"you seem excited."
" Excited ! I ain't excited; I'm mad all
over."
" What are you mad about, Isaac ?
Don't you knew it's wrong to suffer your :
self to get angry !"
"Wrong or no wrong, it is enough to
make any body mad but a preacher.—
Here's every chicken on the place eat
up, except the old rooster, and just now
he happ . ened to see you fellows. and
sung out; , !and must this body die ?"and
dropped over stone dead.
WATERED CIDER.-A party of men
were surveying for a railroad; and, of
course, they were entitled to the best
there was along the line. At one house
they thought the proprietor was a little
tardy in producing the cider, It came
at last, and was tasted by one of the
party, with great deliberation. "How
mirth cider did you make this year ?" he
asked. " Fifteen barrels," was the an
swer. Another sip. " Well, if you'd
had another apple you might have made
another barrel.'!
Six things are necessary to create "a
happy home." Integrity must be the
architect, and tidiness the upaelster. It
must be warmed by affection and lighted
up with cheerfulness, and industry must
be the ventilator, renewing the atmos
phere, and bringing in fresh salubrity
day by day, while over all,:as a protect
ing glory and canopy, nothing will suf
fice except the glory of God.
