SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1871. HOW TO COLLECT A KISS. There's a jolly Saxon proverb, Aud itB pieity much like this: Tbt a man is half in hearen When be has a woman's kiss. But there's d:,ger in denying. And the sweetness may forsake it, So. I tell you, bashful lover. If you act a kiss. Why, take it. Never let another fellow Steal a march on you in this; Kever let a laughing maiden See you spoiling lor a kiss. , There's a royal way to kissing, And the jolly ones who make it . Have a motto that is winning. If jou want a kiss. Why, Uke it. Any fool may face a cannon. Any booby wear a crown; But a man must wiu a woman II he'd have her lor his own. Would you have the golden apple, You must find the tree and tthake it, And if the thing is worth the Laving, Aud you want a kiss. Why, take it. Who would burn upon a desert With a iorest smiling by? Who would give his sunny summer For a bleak and wintry sky? Oh! I tell you there is magic, And you cannot, cannot break it, For the sweetest purl of living, Is to want a kiss, And take it.

IIow time does fly I This is the year 1873, aud I am twelve y ears old a pretty good age for a carpet-bag. I was tspick-aud-span new, as they used to say where I was made, when the great war be tween the North and South broke out, but I have bee a knocked about so much since that time that poor Emanuel Absalom Stry ker would hardly recognize me now. Eman uel has been dead this y ear past, and 1 am sometimes greatlj concerned about his present residence. HIS FIBST MISFORTUNE. He was my owner," and a very clever man -very clever indeed, but unfortunate. It was his fate to bo misunderstood and perse cuted everywhere. I remember as well as j-csterday when Emanuel bought me, and I became Lis close and constant companion. lie was a Sunday-school teacher then, some where iu Massachusetts (I am not snre about the Dame of the place, but it was not far from Boston), and he had a pleasant way that made the young people like him very much. But his misfortune attacked him even there and got him iuto trouble. The Sunday-school had a fund, of which he was treasurer, and somebody discovered that the money had disappeared. There was a good deal of talk about arresting Emanuel, and the matter went bo far that, to prevent the shame and inconvenience of being made a prisoner, he put a few things into me one night and started iff by a late train, with such strange whiskers and goggles on his face that big own mother would not have known bim. EMAJTUEI. APPEABS IN WASHINGTON. We arrived in Washington in a couple of days, and Emanuel opened me and took out a paper collar, which be put on, and then went out aud was gone for some time. When he came back be looked pleased, and I heard him say to the landlord that he had got an appointment. I did Dot understand this, but after awhile, when Emanuel began to put a lot of greenbacks into me every night, 1 began to see through it. Lie was very careful of mc then, aud kept me on the upper shelf of the closet; and every time I heard him speak he was saying something about infernal rebels, aud the Union, and loyal men, and his whole soul seimed to be wrap ped up in the good cause, as he called it. When we had been a fw months iu Wash ington, something happened that obliged Emauuel to give up his appointment (I think it was called an irregularity), but as he had put a good lot of greenbacks into me he did not appear to be sorry, AT TIIS ffiONT AS A SUTLER. The next, thing I remember was that Emanuel was clerk for a sutler at the front, and that he used me as a pillow every night. After awhile he made some complaint about the sutler to the provost-marshal aud bad bim sent away, and then he got the sutler ship himself. Everything appeared to be prospering with him, and ' he was making money fast till it was discovered that a lot of counterfeits bad got into the camp. When this discovery was made Emanuel was very much disturbed, and his state of mind' be came wot8e and worse, when the provost marshal put him under arrest. The upshot of the matter was that the. provost-marshal had poor Emanuel put out of the lines, after confiscating everything he had except. me. Emanuel did not like to go back to Wash ington, so he hung around on the outskirts of the army till another sutler employed him, and then we were settled again. We re mained there till the war came to an end, and though Emanuel's employer often said he wasn't making near so much as he shonld, Emauuel himself got along so well that when the business was broken up he had more giecnbacks put. away than when the provost-marshal sent him out of the lines. It was none of my business how they accu- mulated so fast, and I do not mean to cast any stain upon his memory now by repeating what I had heard some people say on the subject. PBOTICTINO THE "LOYAL MILLIONS." , When the soldiers went home, Emanuel took me in his hand and started further South. .We brought up for awhile at a pleasant village, where rcy owner got a sit uation B3 clerk in a'provost marshal's cfHce not 'the same marshal, though, that we had known before. Emanuel's principal business there was 'attending to the colored people (the tnarbhal was not a temperate man, and most of his duties fell to Emanuel) ; and while he took a great interest in these poor creatures, and cautioned them against allowing their enemies the white people who had provided for them before to exer cise any influence- over them, he always charged them whatever money they happen ed ia have about them for the information he gave. He was acting fur the government, he said, and the money would have to be sent to the Treasury in Washington 5 but he put it into me every night and he was so busy next day that he forgot to send it away. But the old misfortune came on him again. A cunning old negro, who suspected that something was going wrong, made a state ment to a sort of inspecting officer that led to Emanuel's losing his place, and we soon were on our travels once more. EMANUEL AS A POSTMASTER. It was a bold step ray master took next. He went straight back to Washington, tak ing me along iu his hand, and called on sev eral members of Congress, representing to them that he had beeu loyal all along, and asking them to get him an appointment as postmaster. One of the arguments he used was that he could heJp the party a good deal In the South, and this had so much effect that in a few days he received the appoint-, ment for a town not far from the village we had just left. We went to the place imme diately, and Emanuel took charge of the post-office. He had always a parsion for studying writing, and he used to sit up quite late at night opening letters, with me at his side, and while he was examining the hand writing any money that was in the letters would drop into me, and he always forgot to put it back when he was folding up the let ters after reading them. This lurned out very unfortunate at last, for so many com plaints were made at the headquarters in Washington that Emanuel was notified to turn over the office to a successor. Then we were adrift once more, and Emanuel had to luok about for something else. But he was a man of great resources, and it was not long before he was actively at work agaiu. FOUR ELEVEN TOUT Y-FcUR. He took me to another county and set up a policy-shop in a place that had a large colored population. The business throve finely, for Emanuel gave great accounts of the fortunes that had been made by taking chances in his lottery, though I had never known him to do anything in that line be fore, and the colored people kept crowding in all the time to give him money and get numbers. He started a Sunday-school for them, too, and preached to them sometimes, and it was really a great plcafore to see him taking so much interest iu those unfortunate people. Well, after z while they began asking when the chances would be drawn, aud Emanuel kept putting them off and put ting them t.ff, till at last the authorities of the place, who were all rebels, he said, took the matter up and gave notice that they they were going to investigate it. When Emanuel heard that he seemed to be uneasy. and, putting all the money be bad received from the colored people into me, and also a few collars and some other little things, he left the place that night, and was nearly a hundred miles away next morning. We never saw the policy-shop after that, and 1 don't know what became of it. HE GETS MAK31KD AND LEVANTS. At that time Emauuel was about thirty five years of age, and a pretty smart look ing ftlljw he was, too. The place we stopped at after retiring from the policy bus iness had a Freedmen's Bureau School, with a good-looking young woman teacher, and Emanuel made her acquaintance very soon, and spent a great deal of his time talking to her in the schexd-room, and helping her to instil moral principles into the young color ed people she had charge of. Finally he asked her to marry him, and she did, and they seemed to get along very nicely for a few weeks. The young woman had saved some mouey, and she gave it to Emanuel to take care of, and when she asked bim to let her have some to pay for a new dress, he said she must not be extravagant, and re fused to give her any. She got. very angry at that, and raised a storm in the bouse, and the end of it was that Emanuel knocked her down, and then left the place immediately, taking me along io his hand as usual. But be had carried Lis point about economy, for the school-teacher didn't get any of the mouey he was taking care of for her. A NEWSPAPfB AND SOME TROUBLE. We brought -up in another State this time, and after looking around for a while, Emanuel made up his mind to start a news paper. - The only drawback to the success of this enterprise was the fact that the white people wouldn't read the paper aud the col ored people couldn't. But by telling the latter that they could never be voters unless they subscribed to a newspaper like the one he was publishing, Emauuel got enough money from them iu subscription to keep the office going for a few mouths, and in the meantime he made arrangements to rua for the Legislature. He had also been appoint ed registrar in the district, and be found no trouble in fixing thi ngs so that, when the election took place, he had a large majuity of the Votes. But he never took a seat in the Legislature; the old misfortune followed him, and trouble came upon htm again. He was just about to marry the teacher in the Freedmen's Bureau School when the other teacher arrived very suddenly, and told a story that caused Emanuel to pack up bis collars and socks and leave by the next traiu It was very hard to be knocked about in this way, but it seems he couldn't Lelp it. 'CARING FOR THE LOYAL MILLIONS AGAIN. "" Well, after "wandering here and there for a while, Emanuel got another chance at last. He had noticed, and I afterwards heard him talking about it, that a great many of the colored people found it hard to get along, and he decided to help them" by getting up a plan for transporting three or four huudred of them to a place in the North where they would be stirs of gottingwotk at good wages. So he called several meetings, and laid the matter before them in such bright colors that they were all very much pleased, and then he went around and collected all tb? money they could scrape np to pay for their transportation to the place in the North. It was hardly enough --only about 11,000 alto gether but he said he. was willing to pay the difference himself, and they could refund it to him when they got work, and with the money in his pocket he went to seethe rail road agent and make tho necessary arrange ments. He took me with him, as he always did 'when going anywhere,' and when we got to the depot he stepped on a train that hap pened to be there, just to see how it was fur nished, I suppose. Bui the same old luck followed hirn, for while we were on the train, and before Emanuel had a chance to see the agent, what did it do but start off! and It was late at ninbt when the be train stopped, and there was no way to o back to the place we started from. g kmanuel's ijkbot as a parson. But Emanuel bore Lia disappointment manfully, and traveled some distance away from the station next day. I think the rea son of this was that a man who knew him iu the Sunday-school near Boston was settled iu some sort of business at the Nation, but at any rate we got away next day, and brought up at a place where there was another Freed meu's Bureau School, but no church. Eman uel set to work at ouce to get up a church fur the colored people, and soon raised enough raoDey among them to build a small one. Then he took charge of it himself as minister, and preached beautiful sermons in it every Sunday. During the week he used it as a 6ort of prc-cery store, but I he colored people didn't object to this, for it was in the original bargain. He sold things to these people on monthly credit, and there used to be a great deal of wrangling when the time for settling camn round, for tho customers didn't think they owed so much. But they knew nothing about figures, and besides, Emanuel was their minister, and of course he had a great deal of good spiritual influ ence over them, so the little differences would be settled up at last, and everything would go pleasantly and tmoolhly again. ANOTHER WIFE AND AN FFICP. I had a good deal of rest here, for Eman uel was gettiug on so nicely that he didn't care to leave, and after awhile, when the colored people round about got to know him pretty well, he ran for the Legislature and was elected. About this rime, too, he made p his mind to get married to a light com pltxioned girl, but as there was no other minister around to marry them, and Eman uel could not very well perform the ceremo ny himself, he just married the girl wilhont any ceremony. Then he went away to the Legislature and was gone a few months, and when he came ba. k he had more money than ever before. He had a lot of bonds, too railroad bonds I think they were and some other sort of securities, and I was very glad to see that fortune was smiling on him at last. . But there were 6ome bad w hite people in the-place. and they were so envious of Eman uel that some one started a story that the lipht-complexioned colored girl was not his wife at all. Then they got up a crowd to scare himself and his wile away, but when the crowd went to his house they fuund a lot of soldiers there, and the soldiers fired at them, wounding several, and the attempt to make my owner leave the place was aban doned. He tried to get elected to the Leg islature again, but didn't succeed, and as he had given up preaching In the meantime, there was a good deal t,f spare time on his hands. After another while, though, he got an appointment as A REVENUE C01.L7 CTOB. and that kept him busy aain. The people didn't like to pay any revenue, and they often said it was outrageous to make men pay taxes who were not allowed to vote, but Emanuel quoted the law at them, and spoke about soldiers and the government, and got the money out of them at last. At this time, too, he formed some sort of connection with a firm in New York, and received letters and small packages from it which he was careful not to let any one see after he got thorn. I never knew rxactly what they contained, but after awhile a detective came into the neighborhood to find out something about ccunteifeit greenbacks, and he had a long talk with Emanuel one night, and received a lot of money from him, and then went away. There was no talk about counterfeit greenbacks around there after that, though I am sure I never could understand what connection the talk between Emanuel and the detective could have with that matter. THAT CONFOUNDED Wl SfAN AGAIN. Well, everything went on nicely for sev eral months more, till one day a woman came into the cilice aud raised a dreadful row. It was the same woman that had given bim some money to take care of after tie had married her, aud she said she was his lawful wife and would have him arrested. But Emanuel was too smart for her. He went and swore she was an importer, who wanted to extort money from bim, and then she wa3 arrested herself. I don't know how the affair was managed, but she was released pretty soon by a colored judge who was very friendly with Emanuel, and went from the place after Emauuel had given her some mouey. We didn't see her again for a long time, and I think Emanuel didn't want to see her any more. . nE Bh.COM Bd A POWER IN TUE LAND. We had now been in this place nearly three years and Emanuel was not arrested once. Indeed, he had become a very popu lar and influential man, especially among the colored people, and I often heard hirn say to himself that he might be Governor of the Slate yet ; for he was ambitious and kept pushing ahead all the time. lie had been to a convention at Chicago and voted for the man that saved the country as he was in the habit of saying for President ; and he was a President himself of a Union League Club, which met in bis office-the same one that he collected his revenue iu. Good luck seemed to be helping him right on, and the misfortunes of the earlier times appeared to be all past. By-and-by the time for electing a member of Congress came around, aud the nominat ing convention met in the revenue office and made Emanuel the regular candidate. Then he got a ntimbcr of his friends appointed in spectors, and so on, and after that he got a great quantity of tickets printed. They were just like the tickets that the other can didate the rebel one had got piloted, with the same colors and letters, and when elec tion day Came his friends had plenty of these tickets in their bands- Of course there was no trouble in getting the intelligent colored people to vote the right way, but there was a good many of the other sort, and if these were not watched they might vote so as to bring on another rebellion Immediately. So when they, came to the polls Emanuel's friends asked them for their tickets, just to look and see if they were right, and handed them back the tickets with Emanuel's name on. The colored people didn't notice any difference, and, as Emanuel said, it was all for a good causa anyway. He was elected to Congress by the largest majority ever given in that district, and in a speech to his colored fellow-citizens he said they had no-. there we were ! NUMBER 3;3, bly vindicated their right to the ballot and the title of freemen. LUCK TCRNINO EMANUEL RESIGNS". Soon after the election Emanual resigned his effice as collector and weut to Washing H leaving the liht-tompltxioned girl aud myself behind. He was gone abont tJ months when the rebel newspapers began, to eay a great deal ab. ut selling cadetshipa, and t hey published Emanuel's name amon others io a list c.f members of Ccngrees ac cused of doing this. But he had never done anything of the sort. The cadet that he appoiuted never gave Emanuel a dollar, t was preseut when the arrangement was made, and I distinctly remember that il.a mouey was given to another person. But Emannel, nho was a very sensitive man, got so indignant at the charge that he re signed his seat at orce and returned. Ha said he would scorn to sit in the same House with ment who ictiulted him, aud at any rate he thoujtht there might be as good Chances out of Crierts as in it. THE CONSIQIENCS OF T( O SfCH MARRIAGE. But from that time forward fate woiktd hard against hirn. The first blow came so suddenly that he was quite unprepared for it, and it almost breko his heart. Though he had been only a short time in asfcing ton, he had got married there and it seems that the other wife found out nil about it. She must have beeu told by some of Enian-. uel's rebel enemies who wanted to get him into tn uble. Well, at any rate she had him arrested for bigamy, and as there were plenty of witnesses he was Convicted very easily, and sentenced to a long imprisonment. I never saw the poor man so crushed and unhappy as he was the day they cut off his hair, and set him to work pegging shoes among a lot of common, miserable convicts. But the President had not forgotten that Emannel voted for him in Chicago, and ono day a pardon came to the prison, and he was set free. After that he hang around (he old place fur a while, but he had no en couragement to remain. Somehow the col ored people were not so friendly as they had been beforo, aud EmanCel said fho rebels (he always spoke of the r.ntive white people as rebels) had been poisoning their minds against him. WHAT I KNOW ABOUT FARMING. If I remember right.Jthat was in 1870. Emanuel still had a few hundred dollars, and finding that there wasn't much chance to get along where these rebels were he gathered up a few things and pat them into me, and then started away from the place. We stopped about fifty miles tfi", aud, as Emanuel's spirit was greatly broken down, he decided to try farming. So be bought a few acres, spending nearly all his money on them, and as he had never worked a farm before, he got cut a lot of papers that had articles in them about farming, written by a great agiiculturist named Greeley, and began to sit up all ni-ht studying the articles. Well, after studying as much as he thought necessary Le began to work the farm, bwt everything seemed to go wrong. He was particular to do every thing ju&t as the pa pers said he should, and when the neighbors saw what he was doing they said he must hare got loose from a lunatic asylum, and would not come near him. But he kept working on, and working on, and everything kept getting worse aud worse, till at last he had to give up the farm altogether, and then in a fit of rage t ff he went and burned all the papers and swore awfully about the au thor of the articles that had ruined him. scene Last one more unfortunate. He had only one Lope now. Time had worn on. and it was the fall of 182. when he made Up his mind to go to Washington once more. His old friend Gen. Grant had been renominated for President, and Eman uel felt sure he would be elected, and he thought for the sake of old times the Presi-. dent might give him some sort of an effice. As he had very little money he had to make his way to Washington by stealing rides on the trains till the conductors put him tff, so lie was some time making the journey. But, Unfortunately, when ha got to the White House it was known every where that Gen. G rant had been defeated. Emanuel met the President coming ont and spoke to him. but the President told one of his offi cers to turn that beirgar out cf the house at once. That was the last feSlher. Eman uel's heart sank, and a chill came over bim, and then he walked straight down to the Potomac and drowned himself. Toor felt low.' 1 wonder where he is now. World. A Potato thus describes Race.- A correspondent a ''potato ract" in New Hampshire, a fashionable sport there : A very curious trial of strength and speed it is. - Three lines of potatoes were laid. Each line is of flfijr each a yard from the other. Of course each line is forty nine yards long. At the end of each line is a basket, bj which at the start a con testant stands. In this case there aro three competitors. At the word "go" each one begins where he chooses on bi9 line to pick up potatoes that he may bring them to the basket. He mast pick up but one each trip and turn to bring it back to the basket. Your mathematical readers will see that this involves seven thousand three hundred and fifty feet of ruuuing, with such deductions as may bo made for an out stretched arm, when one comes to his basket ; and, with the sericus addition of two turns for every potato, or one hun dred turns in all. Three spiiitcd contes tants entered, and one of them named Thrasher," dis.inguisbed here as having won a tub race in the last sports, which were aquatic, performed the feat in a lit tle more than nine minutes.
