Too well I know the boding sound That ushers lu a bore. I clo not tremble when I meet The stoutest of my foes, But Heaven defend mo from the friend Who comes but never goes. He drops Into my easy chair, And asks about the news; He peers into my manuscript, And gives hls candid views ; Ho tells me where he likes the lino, And whore he’s forced to grieve ; Ho takes the strangest liberties, But never takes his leave. He reads my dally paper through Before I’ve seen a word ; He scans the lyric (that I wrote,) And thinks It quite absurd; He calmly smokes my last cigar, And coolly asks for more; Ho opens everything he sees— Except the entry door. Ho talks about Ills fragrilo health. And tells mo of his pains Ho suffers from a score of ills, Of which ho ne’er complains; And how ho struggled once with death To keep the fiend at bay; . On themes like those away lie goes— But never goes away I He tolls me of the carping words Some shallow critic wrote, And every precious paragrap h Familiarly can quote. He thinks the writer did me wrong, He’d like to run him through! He says a thousand plesant things— But never says “ Adieu 1” « When’cr ho comes—that dreadful man— Disguise It ns I may, I know that, like an autumn rain, He’ll last throughout the day, In vain I speak of argon t tasks, In vain I scowl and pout; A frown Is no extinguisher— It does not put him out! I mean to take the knocker oil*, Put crape upon the door: Or hint to John that I am gone To stay a month or more. I do not tremble when I meet The stoutest of my foes ; But Heaven defend mo from the friend Who never, never goes! LOVE, GARTERS AND SAUSAGES About one hundred years ago a young lady of Amsterdam, named Wilhelmina Terscheling, was riding on horseback through the village of Boxneer, when the horse became frightened and run away. — The young man who accompanied her, and to whom she was betrothed, cried out that he would give a hundred ducats to any one that would stop the horse. The young villagers who were playing ball near by, seeing a woman in danger, threw themselves before the furious ani mal. One of them was thrown down and wounded, and two other received contu sions. The horse foil, and the beautiful ■\Vilhelmina rolled in the dust. A young man who was passing immedi ately threw n cloak over the lady before any one else had time to perceive a finely turned leg and a pretty garter. Mad. Terschling, on being carried home had time to reflect, and the result of her reflections was that there must never be two men in the world who had seen her garter. She sent for her betrothed, and said ; “ will you kill the man who threw his cloak over me ?’ ’ “ M’lle, I can no) stain my hands with the blood of a fellow creature.” She then sent for the young man who threw the cloak over her. lie promptiy appeared in her presence. “ Monsieur,” said she,” “lam rich and young (she blushed prodigiously while adding oueof those hypocritical paraphra ses by which women speak of .their beau ty). I am not considered repulsive. I wish to marry immediately. I see that you are surprised I will be frank with you. I have sent to you because you have seen my garter. You have rendered me a great service, Monsier. Without you, all the youngmen of Boxneer would have seen it, and as I could not have married all, I should have killed myself.— But if you are not free, or I am not so happy to please you, I will give my hand and fortune to a man who will kill you.— Do you accept? Yes or no?” “ Yes a thousand times, yes?” The marriage took place, and like all other marriages, probably; we have no particulars on the subject. The young men of Boxneer were invited to the nup tials, and sumptuously feasted. At her death, which took place iu the course of time, the following codicil was found in her will: “ My farm, situated on the borders of the Neuse, will remain forever, whoever may be the proprietor of it, subject to the following condition: Every year, under penalty of forfeiture, on the 13th of May, tables will be prepared and atun of strong beer and ells of best sausages shall be served to the young men In Boxneer, as a token of gratitude that they did not see my garters on the 13th of May, 1776.” Until the present time, that is during a hundred years, the wishes of the testa trix have been punctiliously executed. — But the present heir, on the 13th of last May attempted to elude lliem. Under pretext of confirming to the decimial sys tem, he gave twenty meters of sausages, instead of twenty ells, to the detriment of the youth of Boxneer. Not to Jose, they demurred the twenty meters under protest; but this year they have brought a suit against the heir and demand that the case ue decided be fore the 13th of Slay next. A Puqent Sermon.— St. Jerome In one of his sermons gave a rebuke to the women of his day, which has seemed to be so apropos to our own, that it is-clrcu lated just now in Pnrlsquite universally: “ Ah! I shall tell you wiioarethe women that scandalize Christianity. They are those who daub their cheeks with red, and their eyes with black —those who plaster faces, too white to be human, re minding us of idols—those who cannot shed a tear without tracing a furrow on the painted surface of their faces —those whose ripe years fail to teach them that they are growing old —those who chalk wrinkles intothecounterfeit presentment of youth; and those who affect the de meanor of bashful maidens in the pres ence of grandchildren.” JUST Tobacco was first brought into re pute in England by Sir Walter Raleigh. By the caution he took in smoking it privately, be did not intend it should be copied. But sitting one day in deep meditation, with a pipe in his mouth, he inadvertently called to his man to bring him a tankard of small beer. The fellow, coming into his room, threw all the liquor into his master’s face, and running down stairs, bawled out, ” Fire, help! Sir Walter has studied till his head is on fire, and the smoke bursts -out at his mouth and nose," CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1866. MARIE'S CURSE. Intlio market place at Heilbroun, stands an ancient inn called The Bore. At one time it enjoyed a great ran of prosperity, and this prosperity was owing to the mar velous hoauty of its Kellnoriu, an orphan girl who had been brought up and adop ted by the landlord and nis wife. All the gay cavaliers of the. neighborhood resort ed there and loved to have their wine poured out by the fair Marie, to whose beauty, however, was added a discretion that kept her adorers at a respectful dis tance. It happened, however, unfortu nately for Marie’s peace of mind, that Hugo, son of the Count Holfenstein, who had been absent for some years at the courts of Anshach, came home, and hav ing occasion to go with his father on a visit to the Teutonic Knights, who had a house at Heilbroun, put up at The Bose. Young Hugo came, and saw, and con quered. An elopement and a marriage, secret of course, under the circumstances, was the consequence. Hugo conducted hisbeautiful bridoto Lowenstein, a lonely hunting castle in the woods which his father never visited, and for some time was all to her which she could wish a lover and a husband to be. After a time, however, he was obliged to absent himself on business with his father to pay a visit to the Margrave of An-ibach, where ho had served as page.— Marie, however, was in a measure con soled, ns letter and message for .a time were frequent; but when weeks grew in to months, and letters dwindled to notes, and became at the same time fewer, cold er, and farther between, and at last ceas ed altogether, and that just at the time when she became a mother, the poor girl could bare the suspense no longer and as soon as she was able she loft the castle secretly with her infant son, her anxiety having been increased nearly to madness by a conversation which she had over heard under the wall of the castle, in which occurred vague expressions relative to a great marriage festivity pending at Weinsberg. When, after a toilsome journey on foot through the woods, she approached the demesne of Weinsberg, a rough forester accosted her and asked her her business. She was rescued from his rudeness by some lads from a friendly mill, but when he was going away with a broken head he called after her contemptuously, “Take my blessing with you; noble countess; I gave it once before, when I personated tlie chaplain of Lowonstein, who married you to Count Hugo.” She would hardly yet believe her own ears, but hastened on her way to see Hugo face to face, and hear the truth, however bitter, from his own lips. So she came at last to the steep winding track which led to the castle of Weibertruo, and ns she was stopping to take breath a hundred paces from the gate it opened, and she heard the noise of an approaching cavalcade. First however came a servant with a halbert, who ordered her to get out of the way if she did 'not wish to lie trampled by the horses, ns the Herrschaft were com ing. But she was rooted to the spot, for there rode her Hugo, who, without iook-4 ing her way was pointing out to a gay young lady the landscape under the glo ries of the setting sun, and comparing it in glowing words with his love, which should last till death. “Hugo, Hugo!" exclaimed poor Mairie, “ husband, father of my child I” and threw herself in his path'. At these words Count Hugo started and turned pale, as well ho might, and the Ladyßerthagazed with astonishment at the female apparation that barred her way. Hugo, however soon recovered himself, or seemed to do so and said bland ly, “ Do not be afraid | it is only a crazy girl who goes abouthere and limeios every young knight is her husband;" and turning to his attendants, he asked them why she had hot been put in the mad house out of harm’s way. This heartless conduct roused Mario from the stupor of her anguish, and she uttered a bittorcurse on Hugo, praying that his castle might be destroyed till not one stone remained on another, and his first-born son by the proud Bertha might be killed like a dog by the lowest rabble whom Ida race so much despised. Having uttered this curse, she went away with the intention of drowning herself and child in the Neeker, but sank and died at the foot of a willow tree on the way. A shepherd from the neighborhood was attracted by the wailing of the child took it home to his wife, and adopted it, and hud a stone cross pul at the fdot of the willow to com memorate the death of the mother. Whether this story is true or not in all its circumstances, the substances of the cur'so came to pass. The castle is certain ly a heap of stones, and the heir of Hel fenstoin met his deaih in thefamous War of the peasants by the haudsof thelowest of the people, among whom the story, to make vengeance perfect, places the son of the despised Mary, who was unknown to his half brother the Count. Thoseevents are supposed to have occurred some twenty-live years before 1525, the date of tlie outbreak of the serfs against their feudal masters. Count Hugo of Helften stein had broken his neck by a fall from the very horse at whose feet the injured Marie had lain prostrate, and was suc ceeded by his son by the Countess Bertha, who surpassed his father in pride and luxury, as he was well enabled to do by a marriage with a natural daughter of the Emperor Maximilian. Holding Back the Shoulders.—For a great number of years it has been the custom in France to give to young fe males of the earliest age, the habit of hold ing back the shoulders, and,thus expand ing the chest. From the observation of anatomists, lately made, it appears that the clavicle, or collar-bone, 1s actually longer in females of the French nation than those of the English.—As the two nations are of the Caucasian race, as there is no other remarkable difference in their bones, and this is peculiar to the sex, and it may be attributed to the habit above mentioned, which, by the extension of the arms, has gradually producted a na tional elongation of this bone. Thus we see that habit may he employed to alter and improve the solid bones. The French have succeeded in the developement of a part that adds to health and beauty. Jewelry op a Princess in the Inte rior of Africa.— Dr. Livingston, in his recently published account of his voyage up the great river of Eastern Africa, says the sister of one of the chiefs wore eigh teen solid brass rings, as thick as one’s finger on each leg, and three of copper under each knee ; nineteen brass rings on her left arm, and eight of brass and copper on her right: also a large ivory ring above each elbow, or seventy-one rings in all. She had a p retty head neck lace, and a bead sash encircled her waist. The weight of the brass rings around her legs impeded her walking and chafed her ankles, but as it was the fashion she did not mind the inconvenience, and guard ed against the pain by putting soft rags round the lower rings. So much for fash ion. BQS“ The ladies of Columbus, Mississip pi, who recently decorated the graves qf the Confederate dead in the cernetry of of that city, paid the same mark of respect the following day to the memory of some forty Federal soldiers buried near by.— This act elicta the approval of the press of that city, which claims that the war being over no distinction should be made between the departed heroes. For the Volunteer. A GENERA!. RAKE ROAR LAW. Tyranny and usurpation of any kind have with the growth of civilization been everywhere denounced, and the hatred of sucli evils and curses gave birth to our revolution and to the liberties of our peo ple. Yet it is an alarming and astound ing fact, that with all our vaunted free dom, We are quietly and ignorantly sink ing into.submission to'a grinding impo sition and despotism from the dominant Rail-Road Companies of our State, as galling and ns gross as ever was inflicted on citizens of a free Commonwealth.— Great as the evil is, our Legislatures have became so corrupt and are so wholly un der the influence of money, that nothing can be done for our relief; and most of our weekly and daily journals are so en tirely in the pay and under the influence of these corporations, that the truth is witheld, and falsehood and fallacy mis lead the people. This day the Pennsyl vania Rail-Road Company controls the interests of Pennsylvania, and it has be come a well-known fact that she regular ly presents her favorite candidates Before the State Conventions of the different political parties, for Governor, and even for the Judges of our Courts of last resort. The Cumberland Valley Rail-Road is as suming and usurping the same power through the length and breadth of this Valley, from the Susquehanna to the Po tomac, and is grinding down and wiping out of existence everything like individ ual enterprise, and monopolizing the business of every warehouse and every ton of freight for the benefit of the stock holders. Attempts have been made in our Leg islature for a general rail-road law; and although every honest minded man ad mits the justice and policy of the meas ure, admits that the public necessities require it, and that it would be greatly to the advantage of every class in the com munity, yet the power of existing Rail- Road corporations is so omnipotent with that body, that no progress can be made towards its attainment. And this will be the case until the people come to the polls with an indignant determination that no man shall go into either the Sen ate or House who is not every inch a free man and who has nerve and purity of purpose to carry him through temptation. Why shall there not be a general rail road law? There is no danger of roads being made except where they are de manded by the business wants of the community; and if they are demanded by the business wants of the community, should it bo in the power of any corpora tion to say they shall not be had? It is a settled fact that business will-always in crease with the facilities for doing it.— The resources of Pennsylvania are only beginning to be developed, and every Rail-Road that is made will bring nearer to the markets thousands of acres of coal, and lumber, and ore, and agricultural products that have now no means of transportation. What is the great object the State or the Nation has in fostering Rail-Roads ? Is it for the benefit of the public, or for the private emolument of the stockholders ? There can be no diffi culty in answering this question. Clear ly all public improvements were intend ed to supply the wants of the people ; and this was the great leading object why so much energy and capital have been ex pended in their introduction, yet this has ceased even to be a subordinate object ex cept so far only as it can ho made to in crease the dividends of the stockholders and the salaries of the Directors. Public wants and public benefits are never spo ken of any more. The single question is, how much more than ten per cent, will the stock make. Look at a few of tho facts. But a few years ago, even in tho days when there was no other transportation for freight than tho broad-wheeled road wagons, we could certainly find a mode of transpor tation with some security for the safe delivery in good order of the articles. — But now if we want to send a box of goods to some friend or member of our family in tiro West or elsewhere, we are compelled to enter into a writen engage ment with tho Rail-Road Companies, re leasing them from all responsibility for negligence on part of their agents, and from all claims for damages except mere ly that which may arise from collisions of trains, or cars being thrown from the track; with authority to sell our goods if their charges are not paid within twenty four hours after arriying at their destina tion. Theii - agents may expose them to the weather and have them ruined, or leave them at some point on the road; but they claim exemption by reason of their contract, with the privilege to sell within twenty four hours, without even being obliged’to give notice of their arri val. We may complain ; but they tell us,.their terms are the best they will give us. As one of their agents said to a friend the other day : 11 What will you do ? you are at our mercy. We own the road, and can lock the gates at both ends. We do not permit any other cars than our own to carry freight.” This language was actually used, and it was a perfect quietus. Pennsylvania legislation has given them a monopoly of everything, and they control the people. They have taken from the people every other facili ty for transportation ; they have as they think secured themselves against all com petition, and now they boldly tell us, ” We have you by the throat, and you must pay us such freight, and comply with such demands as we choose to exact, or suffer the pelalty of having your goods stay where they are.” Who is so dull, that he cannot see that this is but the language of the highwayman with his pistol at your breast. This pistol has been placed there by the Pennsylvania Legislature, and they refuse to take it away by allowing competition. Here is a copy of the contract the Pennsylvania Rail-Road Company requires us to sign before they will move a pound of our freight: Pennsylvania Rail Road Co. -Station, —— IS6 In Oonslderatloh of the Pennsylvania Rail Koad Company transporting the following de scribed property, viz: ■ ——from ■ —Station to ———Station, the same being consigned to I hereby release said Company, and each and every other Company, over •whoso Line said Goons may pass to destination, from any and all Damage that may occur to said Goods, arising from leakage or decay, chafing or breaking, dam age by fire while in transit or at stations, loss or damage from the effects of heat or cold, or from any other cause not the result of collisions of trains, or of cars being thrown from track while In transit. And I farther guarantee to said Com pany, or Companies, that any and all freight, or other necessary charges that may accrue as pro vided by Tarlflb of said Road, or Roads, shall be paid by Consignee within Twenty-four hours af ter arrival of said Goods at destination; and In cose such charges are not so paid, the Company holding said goods may send them to warehouse, or sell them for charges, without farther recourse to me.- . .—ln presence of——witnesses This Contract Is to bo executed In du ( 5 ct. ) plicate by all Shippers of light Furnl- J Rev. Vturo, Household or Miscellaneous Goods, I Stp J the original, in every case, to be attach- s —y—' ed (by being pinned) to Manifest accom- Sanying the Shipment. Duplicate to bo retained y Agent. Any Agent receiving and forwarding such Goods without this Contract attached to his Manifest, will have the same returned to him, with charges, and bo held personally responsible for all charges and damages that may occur.— This Contract (original) requires a five (5) cent stamp, which Is to be furnished by the Shipper.* Another evidence of (heir tyranny and usurpation, is found in the fact that they are determined to absorb all the business of the community by driving off every individual from the carrying trade.— Their officers have arrived at such a pitch of cool and sublime Impudence that they boldly tell the community so. — They have now notified the very men who have inaugurated the system of warehouse business along our railroads to the great benefit of our farmers, mer- VOL. 52,-NO. 51. chants and mechanics, and who have in vested every dollar of their capital in their warehouses and cars, that they will drive them out of the carrying trade altogether by taxing their cars and all their freight with such enormous tolls, that they cannot compete with the com pany. What is this but talking away from them their living? Was the privi lege of entering on any man’s farm and laying their track over it, ever granted to a Rail-Road Company for such purposes as tliis? Was it ever contemplated, that privileges like these which are part of htate sovereignty should ever bo granted to a corporation for the purpose of taking away a man’s occupation and livelihood, after having been induced by the compa ny itself to make that particular branch the business of his life ? But this they will do, and are doing. James the 11, got the idea into his head, that the people were made for him, and they had no rights except what he chose to grant them; and our Rail-Road Directors are inflated with the same fallacy, and it is time they would meet witli the same fate. When they have succeeded in driving off every individual from owning a running oar; when they have succeeded in ab sorbing all the powers and benefits that were intended for the people generally in the creation of Rail-Roads they will say to the community', “ wo have you again by the throat. There is now no competition, and we will charge what we please, and you must submit to our ex actions.” Take another item connected with, the present management of our Kail-Roads. It is a well known fact that hundreds of free tickets are issued by the officers of the Pennsylvania Rail-Road Company, and that scarcely a man about Harris burg who can command any influence at all, that has not one. It is a common thing for members of the Legislature to procure them for their friends. What do such facts prove? They prove Ist. The corrupting influence of Rail-Road Compa nies in our Legislature ; 2d. The use such Companies make of their corporate priv ileges to corrupt men of influence every where through the community ; 3d. That honest stockholders are loosing what the officers corruptly give away; 4th. That the more honest and less conspicuous portion of the community, not favorites, have to make up the enormous dividends the Company declares by paying higher rates for travel and freight than they ought to do, or would otherwise have to do, if it was not for the loss on their army of dead heads and free favorites. In some of the States it is said there is a severe penalty inflicted on Rail-Road officers for granting free tickets to any except the employees and officers of the Company ; and it is high time that such a law should be passed in Pennsylvania, if there was a possibility of getting the ear of the Leg islature. Wo have enumerated but a few of the evils we begin to suffer. A catalogue of them would make this article too long.— But wo do appeal most earnestly to the people, and to the Democratic party in particular, in whoso principles “ the greatest good of the greatest number,” hasal ways found nourishment, to restrain the impudent, overbearing and insolent encroachments of these corporations.— They are swallowing up all the power of our State, and we are being controlled and trumpeted upon by some of the most reckless and corrupt stock speculators that the world has ever known.

Winter has drawn off liis army of winds, frosts, snow, and hail, and Spring has succeeded the mon arch of desolation. Under her soft and gentle reign, the earth cast aside its wind ing sheet, and life in a thousand forms is breaking forth, in verdure, fragrance, and beauty. The scenes which then wore a chilling appearance, are now bright and lovely, the trees which were shorn of their covering are casting upon the ground their refreshing shadows, the fields and favorite walk's have resumed their attractions, the garden, which, like a friend in adversity, was forsaken, again yields its perfume and promises its fruits, and the vegetable creation which looked dead, is revived. So, too, the tuneful tribes whose voice was not heard in our land are warbling thoie melodies, the tiny myriads have renounced their torpor, to creep on the earth or shine the atmos phere, the-streams that, were frozen to death-like stiffness, have broken their icy fetters, are moving with a sparkling and cheerful flow .and the cattle, no long er grave and sullen, are grazing in a thousand meadows or playing on the hills. Now, who, surveying for the first time Nature as thus clad in her winding-sheet, could or would have expected that she would ever revive in bloom, beauty, and activity? Yet, with ail the a priori im probability, the/acf is indubitable. And with such a surprising display of God’s almightiness before us, wherefore should wequestionthe resurrection of thehuman body? Caunot He who formed man orig inally from the dust of tho earth, re-form him by His omuifle word, though dust has long mixed with dust in the grave? Cannot He who, out of a blank, void space, produced this goodly world, with all its beautiful contrivance for the sup port and comfort of its inhabitants, as readily renew the human frame, howev er dissolved and changed ? Who dare say that tho power of God cannot eflbct this? That power is, indeed, doing things as great every clay. True though it be that the resurrection is a miracle, yet the only difference between these daily occurren ces and a miracle, is, that tire miracle does not occur every day. It is as great a miracle that men breathe, or that the sun rises, as that the dead body shall be raised. It is as great a miracle that men exist now, as that they shall exist again. Nature and Providence, too, abound with emblems and illustrations of the truth, that through the vale of death we pass to life. "What is there In death to blast our hopes? Behold the universal works of nature, Where life still springs from death. To us tho Sun Dies ev’ry night, and ev’ry morn revives: The flaw’ra, which winter’s icy hand destroyed, Lift their fair heads, and live again in spring. Mark with what hopes, upon the furrowed plain, Tho oareful plowman casts the pregnant grain, There hid as in a grave, awhile it lies, Till tho revolving season bids It rise, Till nature’s genial power command a birth." These are not forced analogies, but pa tent parts of the harmony between the natural and spiritual worlds, which, whilst unconsciously felt by all men, is yet by deeper minds continually recognized, and often presses upon their meditations the question suggested by the Angel in Mil ton.— ‘What If earth Bo but the shadow of heaven and things therein Kuch to other like, more than on earth is thought.' Such were some of our as wo recently spent an evening hour in the old grave-yard on the South of Carlisle. Beneath its green sod, now studded with flowers which the hand of love has plant ed, is buried Death's harvest for at least a century. In the silent and crowded ranks of the sleepers, every age, and class, and condition are represented.

Oh! how many crushed and bleeding hearts have there been in that sacred en closure, as the opened graves were looked into, ready to receive in their cold eW brace the mortal remains of those, with whom for the survivors to part, seemed like filling life’s cup with unmingled bit terness, or ovorcastiugits sky with clouds of dark aud impenetrable gloom! An,d J what other evidence need there be that memory with strongest affection still lin gers around those resting places of the departed, than is found in the tasteful marble memorials which have been erect ed, the beaten—winding paths leading in every direction, which denote the fre quent visitor, and the emblematic ever greens and sWeet flowers which bloom over almost every grave? It is right that it should be so. Civili zation has no surer expression than ■ re spect for the Cemetery. If the bodies of believers at their death, “ being still uni ted to Christ, do rest in their graves un til the resurrection,” it is eminently pro per, aside from the dictation of affection and refinement that the beds in which they slumber, should be marked with the indications of undying remembrance, and that no craving of commerce or stroke of ambition should disturb the peaceful sleepers there. We have referred to the sorrow experi enced in interment, but oh! how much greater will be the joy of the resurrec tion. That great event will come. The renewed face of nature, at this moment, assures us of that glorious period when • the promise shall be fulfilled,—“ Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.” Courage then, mourn ing pilgrims, courage. Let not your heart be troubled. Yo believe in God, believe also in Him who is the “resurrection and the life.” Your dead ones, who sleep in Jesus, shall not always bo pressed down in the lonely grave by the heavy clod un der summer’s sun and winter's snow, aud autumn’s vail. They shall rise again to newness of life. Every bursting bud, and blooming flower, and sprouting seed, says so. They shall come forth from their dus ty beds without the possibility of being either crushed by violence! or worn away by suffering, or marked by deformity, with the germ of life planted In their nature—springing up into a continual re newal of their vital powers, in the glory of unblemished righteousness, in the un spotted loveliness of a perpetual spring, and in the ethereal and eternal charm of an angelic purity, “and every form and every face look heavenly and Divine.”— Aud you, if partakers of the same pre cious hope, shall emerge with them from the ruins of the tomb, ana the deeper ruins of the 1 fall, not only uninjured, but refined and perfected, with all tears wip ed from every eye, to renew the sweet counsel you had taken together, to recount the toils of combat, and the labor of the way, and to approach the Throne of God in company, in order to join in the sym phonies of heavenly voices, and lose yourselves amidst the splendours and fruitions of the beatific vision. That will be the spring-time of the new heav en and the now earth wherein dwelleth righteousness, and hallelujahs will be up on lips long silent in the sepulchre, a. n. THK WHOLE ART OF KISSING. People will kiss and yet not one in a hundred knows howto extract bliss from lovely lips, no more than know how to make diamonds from charcoal. And yet it is easy, at least for me. This little item 1s not alone for young beginners, but the many who go at it like hunting coons or shelling corn. First know who you are to kiss. Don’t make a mistake, although a mistake may be good. Don’t jump up like a trout for a fly, and smack a woman on tho neck, or the ear, or the corner of tho forehead, on the end of the nose, or slop over on her water-fall or bonnet-rib bon in haste to get through. The gentleman should be a little the tallest. He should have a clean face, a kind eye, and a mouth full of expression instead of tobacco. ’ Don’t kiss every body, includingiittle dogs, male orfemale. Don’t sit down to it, stand up. Need not be anxious to get in a crowd. Two per sons are plenty to corner and catch a kiss. More persons spoil the sport. Stand firm. It won’t hurt any after you are used to it. Take left hand of the lady in your right hand, let your hat go to—any place out of the way. Throw your left hand over the shoulder of the lady, and let the hand fall down upon the right side to ward the belt. Don’t be in a hurry. Her head will fall lightly upon your shoulder and a handsome shoulder-strap it makes. Don’t be in a liiirry; send a little life down your left arm and let it know its business. Her left hand is in your right. Let their be expression to that—not Tike the grip of a vice, but a gentle clasp, full of electricity, thought and respect. Don’t be in a hurry; her head lies carelessly on your shoulder. You are nearly heart to heart. Look down into her half closed eyes. Gently yet manfully press her to your bosom! Stand Ann, and Providence will give you strength for the ordeal. — Be brave, and don’t be ia a hurry. Her lips almost open! Lean lightly forward with your head, not the*body. Take good aim; the lips meet; the eyes close; the heart opens; the soul rides the storms, troubles and sorrows of life, (don’t be in a hurry;) heaven opens before you; the world shoots from under your feet as a meteor flashes across the evening sky; (don’t be afraid,) the nerves dance before the just'created altar of love as zephyrs dance with the dew-trimmed flowers; the heart forgets its bitterness, and the art of kissing is learned. No noise, no fuss, no squirming like hookempaled worms. Kissing don’t hurt; it does not require a brass hand to make it legal.— Don’t job down on a beautiful mouth ns if spearing for frogs. Don’t grab and yank the lady as if she was a struggling colt. Don’t muss her hair, scratch down her collar, bite her cheek, squizzlo her mussed, rumpled, and bemussod. Don’t flavor your kisses with onions, gin cock tails, lager beer, brandy, etc., fora maud lin kiss is worse than the itch to a deli cate, sensible woman.
