WHAT I LOST BT KISSING KATE BY WILLIE E. PAEOR There were Lizzie, Kate and Mary, All three beautiful and young, But the name of Mary ever Lingered longest on myitongne, And I hopes in secret oherished Of a home that she was queen, But one day these sweet hopes perished, And left life a desert scene. They and X were once together, Frolicking beneath the moon; In the mildest of mild weather— In the odorous month of Juno. And sweet Mary said, ‘‘Since kisses In the moonlight time are due, I would take this best of kisses From Kate’s lips, if I were you.” Scarcely had the thought been spoken, Ere, with heart and eye: elate, I had oloimed the honied token From the rosy lips of Kate. But, alack ! in thus obeying', I bad made a sad mistake ; For in heart, the girl was saying, “ Kate will lose what I shall take.” “Kiss Kate /” this was what she told me But its meaning was— Kiss vie ! Oh! vain heart! and oh ! eyes silly, Thus to fail the truth to see! So we parted ; I with sorrow, She with scorn, perhaps with hate; And my heart grows sad by knowing What I lost by kissing Kato. Stealing Water-Melons. A man in a country town took great pleasure in having a neat garden. He had all kinds of vegetables and fruits earlier than his neighbors, but thieving boys in the neighborhood annoyed him, damaged his trees, trampled down his flowers,' and “ hooked ” his choicest fruits. He tried various ways to protect his grounds; but his watch dogs were poisoned, and set traps caught nothing but his fattest fowls and favorite cat. One afternoon however, just at nightfall, he overheard a couple of michievous boys talking together, when'-one of them said : ‘ What do you say, Joe 1 Shall we come the grab game over them melons to-night? Old Swipes will be snoring like ten men before 12 o’clock.’ The other objected, as there was a high wall to get over. ’ ‘ Oh, pshaw ! was the reply ; I know a place where you can get over just as easy —know it .like a book. Come, Joe, let’s go- The owner of the melon patoh didn’t like the idea, of being an eaves-dropper ; . but the conversation so immediately concerned his melons which he had taken so much pains to raise, that he kept quiet and lis tened to the plans of the young scapegraces, so that he might make it somewhat both ersome for them. .Ned proposed to get over the wall on the south side by the great pear tree, and cut direotly across to the -summer-house, just north of which were the .melons. Joe was a clever fellow, who loved good fruit exceedingly, and was as obstinate as an ass. G-et him once started to do a thing, and he would stiok to it like a mud turtle to a negrp’s toe. The other didn’t care so much for the melons as for the fun of getting them. 1 Now hear the owner’s story : ‘ I made a needful preparation for the visit; put in brads pretty thick in the soantling along the wall where they intend ed to get over ; uncovered a large water vat which had been filled for some time, from which, in dry weather, I was accustomed to water my garden ; dug a trench a foot deep or so, and placed slender boards over it, which were slightly covered with dirt, and just beyond them some little cords, fastened tightly some eight inches from the ground. 1 picked all the melons I wished to prseeria.leaving pumpkins and squashes, about the size and stmpo —•t' molnna. m their places.’ The boys were quite right in supposing it wonld he dark, hut* they missed it a little in inferring that ‘ Old Swipes,’ as they called him, would be in bed. The old man liked a little fun as well as they, and when the time came, from his hiding place he listened : ‘Whist, Joe ! dont you hear something V’ I think that it was very probable that they did, for hardly were the words uttered, than there came a sound of foroible tear ing of fustian. ‘ Get off my coat tail!’whispered Joe, ‘there goes one of the flaps as sure as guns! Why, get off, Ned.’ And Ned was ofly,‘and one leg of his breeches besides ; and then he was ah-ing oh-ing, and telling Joe that he ‘ believed there was nails in the side of the wall, for something had scratched him tremendously and torn his breeches all to pieces.’ Joe sympathised, with him for he said ‘ half his coat was hanging up there some where.’ They now started hand-in-hand, for Ned ‘ believed he knew the way.’ They had arrived a little beyond the trees, when something went swash ! swash! into the water-vat. A sneeze ensued, then the exclamation: ‘ Thunder ! that water smells rather old !’ Ned wanted to go home at once, but Joe too much excitedjw listen for a moment to such a proposition. ‘Never heard anything about that.cis tern before ; the old fellow must have fixed it on purpose to drown people in. Curious, though, that we should both fall into it.’ They pushed on again for the melons! — Presently they were caught by the cords, and headlong they went into a heap of bri-r ars and thistles, and the like, which had been placed there for their express accom modation. ‘ Such a gettin’ up stairs!’ muttered one. ‘ Nettles and thistles!. bow they prick!’ exclaimed the other. They now determined to go more cau tiously. At length they arrived at the patoh. .* How thick they are, |Joe t Come here ! There’s more than a dozen fat ones here !’ And down they sat in the midst of them, and seemed to conolude that they were amply rewarded for all their mishaps. ‘Here, Joe,’ said Nedj ‘take this musk melon; isn’t it a rouser 1 Slash into it. It cuts tremendous hard, .Ned. Ned it’s a sqnash !’ ‘ No it : isn’t, I tell you its a new kind— Old Swipes sent to Rhode Island for the seed last spring. ‘ Well, then, all I’ve got to say, is that the old fellow got sucked in—that’s all.’ ‘ I’m going to gouge:into the watermel ons ; hallo ! there gees a half a dollar ! I’ve broke my. knife. If 1 didn’t know it was a water-melon, I should say it was a pump kin. Fact is, I believe it is a pumpkin. What the boys did besides, while the owner went to the stable and unmuzzled the dog, and led him into the garden, we couldn’t say; that they took long steps the onion and flower beds revealed in the morning. They paid pretty dear for the whistle. They had not tasted a single melon ; they had got scratched, and torn their clothes; were as wet as drowned rats, and half scared out. of their wits at the ravenous dog and the apprehension of being dis covered. The next night the owner of the melon patch invited all the boys of the village, including Ned and Joe, to a feast of mel ons, on the principle of ‘ returning good for evil.’ This circumstance changed the boys’ opinion of ‘ Old Swipes,’ and his melons were never afterwards disturbed. GENT. CASS’ SPEECH. The railroad excursionists, whose move ments for the last week have been chroni cled by the press with great fidelity, were welcomed to Ohio by Gov. Chase in person, whose address on that occasion is spoken of as exceedingly felicitous. His address elicited the following brief but very inter esting reply from Gen. Cass : “ I have listened with deep interest to the address by your excellency in your reception of the strangers who have just landed on the north bank of the Ohio. Of all persons on earth, none more than myself can appreciate these passing scenes. Within a few feet of where we now stand I landed more than half a century ago, a poor, young adventurer, seeking in this land of promise to commence my first en terprise in life ; this to me was the land of promise of my first trial—of my first sac rifice ; here commenced my career in life, my hopes and my fears. excellency may judge, then, that there could be nothing more strange than the Ohio of the past and the Ohio of to day. The circumstances under which I now find myself awaken sensations of more than an ordinary character. Here was my first school—l left this spot a scholar—l come back now a teacher. I went out to fight the great battle of life—l return with it fought. The result is a glorious illus tration of the popular character of our in stitutions. The poor boy has represented the people in the high places of the land, and as representative of the nation has been her minister before kings ; no other nation presents such spectacles. Hold on, then, to the popular character of the government as to a ship when night and tempests come. No such prosperous a land can be found under the sun ; our lines have indeed been cast in pleasant places. Fifty-seven years ago all the Northwest Territory contained only 30,000 people ; now its limits include 6,000,000. The man is now living whose axe felled the first tree of these forests, and there are men now alive who will not pass away until the United States has attained a population of one hundred millions. The triumphs of the past are wondrous. From a land with out cultivation, without schools, without internal improvements, this has become a State, both prosperous and powerful! The vessels which traversed the beautiful river flowing at our feet were the 1 Ken tucky ark’ for descending, and keel boats for return. Fifty-one years ago I was a young man representing this county in the Legislature of this State, when those pio neer steamboat builders, Messrs. Fulton & Livingston, made a proposition to our State authorities to establish lines of pas- j senger and freight boats on the Ohio, pro- j pelled by steam against the current at the j rate of four miles per hour. The proposi- i tion was laughed out of the Legislature as impracticable. I was a young fogy then ; l lam an old togy now. It it had depended upon us of that day, the magnificent enter prise of steam navigation would not now be startling us with its grand achieve ments. I have just passed over the magnificent railway traversing the mountains, dividing the East from the West; a work Rome could not have constructed, even in her palmiest days. The time has been when a horseback trip to Baltimore required 20 days ; now it is accomplished by steam railway in near that many honrs. The allusions of your excellency to the Puritan settlement at Marietta were hap pily made. This was the second step in the march of that progressive race, whose powerful influence is felt in the land. The first landing was at Jamestown, the second on the north side of the river.— Improvements followed in their wake. They have diffused learning here with a liberal hand, the best mark of human na ture.” Singular Effects of Electricity.— The following singular incident, which re cently ocourred at the locomotive works in Detroit, is chronicled by the Free Press : “ A locomotive was being moved from the manufactory to the central depot, and had arrived in the middle of the street, when suddenly all hands dropped the bars with which they were moving the machine and all fell back in amazement. Resum ing them at the order of the man in charge, they applied them again to the wheels, and again fell back paralyzed the instant they touched the iron. The director of the job ■caught up one of the bars, and making a savage thrust, planted it under a wheel, preparatyry to giving a huge lift. No sooner had it touched, however, than he saw it fall from his grasp to the ground as it had done in every case before. Such singular occurrences excited attention, and an examination was made as to the cause, when it was found that the locomotive, in passing under the telegraph line, had come in contact with a broken wire, that hung sufficiently low to reach it. The whole mass of iron composing the locomotive had thus become charged with electricity, which had oommunicated itself to the bars that the men held in their hands, and caused the effect described. The wire was then removed, and the difficulty obviated in a moment.” «THAT country is the most prosperous where LABOR commands THE GREATEST REWARD.”—BUCHANAN. LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1857. A Singular Circumstance. —Says the Pottsville Register: The family of an old resident of this borough was awakened, a day or two since, by cries for assistance, proceeding from an attio room in which a female domestic slept. A member of the family hastened up stairs to the girl’s room, and found her literally covered with blood and in a fainting condition. The door, the wall and the floor were covered with blood. She had her left hand tightly clasped around the wrist of her right arm to check the blood which was spirting from a partially severed artery. Alarmed at the soene before him, the young man who first reached the apartment called for additional assistance, which soon arrived in the person of the head of the family. The girl then fainted from loss of blood. A physician was immediately oalled in. Until his arrival the persons present did all they could to cheek the hemorrhage by means of bandages,etc. Fortunately, they succeeded in a measure, and a subsequent surgical operation saved the poor girl’s life. She was, however, left in an exceedingly weak condition, and the careful nurse was neces sary to restore her. Indeed, the physician stated that if assistance had not been promptly rendered, or if the girl bad fainted before her condition was known, in two or three minutes she would have bled to death. It appears that the girl, for some cause, arose from her bed to open the attic win dow, and in the dark her hand slipped, going through a pain of glass. A portion of the glass partially severed an artery in her wrist. She was not aware of the ac cident, until she felt the warm blood spir ting over her, and she had barely strength and presence of mind to totter to her room door, unlock and open it, and call for as sistance, when she fainted from exhaustion as stated. The poor girl’s situation, it may be imagined, was truly terrible, and the alarm of the family at what at first was a fearful mystery was equally severe.— Had the girl died alone and unheard, and been found next morning weltering in her blood and the room bespattered from one end to the other, it would at the first blush, have appeared a case of murder, and the feelings of the family would have been far from enviable. And yet cases less eonclusive have sent to the scaffold many innocent persons. The girl has not yet entirely recovered from the effects of the accident. Letting down the Aristocracy. — The elegant Miss Mason, whose father had made a splendid fortune as an enterprising draper and tailor, appeared at this magnif icent entertainment in royal apparel. With that fastidious exclusiveness for which the latest comers into fashionable circles are the most remarkable, she refused.various offers of introduction, as she did not wish to extend the number of her acquaintances. “ Her friends were few and very select.” The beautiful Miss Taylor, radiant with good natured smiles, and once ‘well ac quainted with Miss Mason when they went to the public school in William street to gether, noticed the hauteur of her ancient friend, who was determined not to recog nize one who would only remind her of her former low estate. But Miss Taylor, the rogue, as clever as she was pretty, deter mined to bring her up with a short turn, and not submit to being snubbed by one whose ancestral associations were no better than her own. Watching her chance when the haughty young lady was in the midst of her set, Miss Taylor walked up, and with smiles of winning sweetness, remarked : “ I have been thinking, my dear Miss Mason, that we ought to exchange names.” “ Why, indeed ?” “ Because my name is Taylor, and my father was a mason, and your name is Ma son, but your father was a tailor.” There was a scene then, but there was no help for it. The little Miss Taylor had the pleasure of saying a very cute thing, which was soon repeated in the ears of a dozen circles, and the wits wished to see her, but the proud Miss Mason bit her lips in silence. Hog Cholera or Hog Consumption.— In Johnson county, Indiana, the fatal hog disease is very prevalent, but the symptoms, it is stated, are more those of consumption than of cholera. Out of fifteen hundred hogs put in one enclosure, fifty a day were dying. The New York Tribune says : The first symptom noticeable is a slight cough, which is soon followed by a droop ing, stiff appearance ; the nose and lips, and sometimes the jaws and ears, turn blue and swell up, and finally purging and some times vomiting, follows, and death ensues speedily. Hogs, in every stage of the dis ease, have been killed and examined for the purpose of ascertaining the nature of the disease, and the result establishes the fact beyond scruple that the disease here is inflamation of the lungs, those in the first stage showing a congested condition of the lungs, while those further advanced had a more extensive enlargement, and in the last stages of the disease the' lungs were dark, dry and solid, with some ulceration of the lungs and throat. The stomach and intestines show no signs of disease. The disease prevails fatally in Massachusetts and Rhode Island among hogs brought there from the West. CARDS. Dr. John.
