A YEAIVA DIFFERENCE. BY CLARA AUGUSTA It was a summer evening,. The round red moon hung high ; No west wind stirred the willows, No cloud teas in the sky. We floated down the river Close to the curving shore— Our every wish was gratified, We asked for nothing more. 11cr soft hand lay a prisoner Clasped close within my own ; I bent my head to listen Unto her low sweet tone. I thought the pnrest angels That ever dwelt in Heaven, Would lose their grace beside her My angel fate hail given ! 1 knew no life beyond her— No thought for aught but her ! Her smile, her touch, her presence, Wild rapture did confer ! The minutes seemed like ages Which kept me front her side ; But together we were happy, And floated with the tide. Now, though 'tis scarce a twelvemonth Since that radiant summer night, A change has crept across us, And in another light We see the things around us, And, dear me ! their rosy hue Is faded out, told verging On a very solemn Mae. She dwells in my poession—' My own, my very own -1 see her curls in papers, And I hear her fretful tone— And wh - en she asks fu money lil cross, and : 1 / 4 laut the door, And wish that night would come again When we asked for nothing more I AL ! Love's a glorious phantom, And youth's a summer day ; A pity for all parties That they don't forever st s iy. But the lover turns to husband, And the maiden turns to wife— And the surest cure fir romance Is a year of married life. ffittected ffitotH. THE LONE CABIN. I hsd ridden hard, and fast. and was astonished to find myself coming into a ,traggling settlement. On the course which I should have taken there was nothing of the sort. Almost any travel er iu the border sections would have been glad to thus stumble upon a.place for food and refreshment. Not so with myself. In the breast pocket of my coat I carried five thousand four hundred and ninety odd dollars, United States money. I had received this amount from Major General T. M. Lacy, and it was to be car red through to Fort L--, and placed ir,.. 1 *,,h,r, ,- LOs of Col. Asa F. Southard, to . 'Get through - la aY.cateuses. said the Major, "the money is long since over due, and Southard's rare irascible temper must have been tried to the ut most. You know how the soldiers get to growling if Uncle Sam is at all delin quent in paying up. Ride in a carless manner, but be careful. I don't think that any one dreams of the arrival of this money—save, of course, the mail agent and the clerk who delivered me the packages." I was directed over an unfamiliar sec— tion, hence my loosing of the right route I considered it my safest plan, so long as I had blundered into the settlement, to boldly enter and rest,as an ordinary trav eler would do. Should I push hurriedly on, I might, by that very act, excite sus picion. There were only two men in the bar room when I entered ; the landlord and the hostler. Under hie familiar cordial ity the landlord furtively eyed me in a manner that male me wish that I was well done with the job, but I reassured myself with the thought that it was the consciousness of the responsibility repos ing upon me that caused his glances to disturb me. Before I had finished my supper two more travelers rode up, called out for the hostler, and ordered drinks, or rather one of them came in with the orders, and the other threw himself down on a bench outside, and began loading his huge pipe. Strolling carelessly about the room I managed to glance out of the window. My heart leaped into my throat, for in the than outside I recognized —from descriptions of him—Bill Wolf. one of the most desperate characters that ever figured in the annals of border inffainiem. There was.the huge red moustache, the thick hairy throat, and the shoulders hunched up around his head, suggesting the shape of a mammoth clam—and the voice with a deep down intonation like the plop, plop, plop, of water hurriedly leaving a jug. If the description of the notorious renegade is inelegant, it has the merit of truthfullness, and must, there fore, be excused. I vent through my supper in form, but whatever appetite I might haey felt upon my entrance into the inn, had van ished with my discovery. After a time the other fellow came in. having been out, he said, to look after the animals. and they also ordered supper. Now was my time to leave, which I did in a care less manner, rassing some commonplace remarks with the two men' as I crossed the dim, smoky, bar room. 'As they seemed. to take no notice of me whatever, I felt my spirits rise with hope that should make a.safe transit. it was quite duskish outside, but the hostler was flit ting about the stable with his lantern. which emitted but a little more effuleent light than a white bean wOuld have lone. but he crracionsly brought out my steed at the order, and, mounting, I thankfully trotted away. The moon—a little put full—would make her debut in - Cfnething more than an hour after sunset, and pushed along at a smart trot so us to get well out. upon the plains 'and . into - 'the. right trail before that time, the animal went along at an assuring gait, and I was feeling infinitely relieved,at say providen tial escape from. contact with-the despe rate...cliartioters - Whim' I liadsleft at, the settlement., when my acute,. trained, ever alert ear 'detected the zeund - ofirwift rid ing.- In which direction? From behind' "Stand by the Right; : thvugh the Heavens WU" me, as the mildly floating breeze blew from that quarter. The face oi the prai rie in this section was a little rolling, but not so as to afford any shelter, and not a shrub or bush dotted the expanse for miles. I drew up my horse one moment to listen. No chance travelers ever rode like that. It meant pursuit. I gave my horse a galling lush at d she broke into a convulsive gait, hove her body up with one or two plunges, stum— bled, going down upon her knees to her, nose, and pitched me literally heels over head. Fur an instant I was paralyzed with astonishment, the next I seized the hit to fetch up the fallen animal, which had in the brief mishap undergone a strange metamorphose. She had lost her white face on in the grass, and, passing my hand between her eyes, I found the hair was wet. Iu an instant I was ex• „ m i n i ng th e white legs—my horse had been peculiarly marked - with white legs and face—and I found these sticky with whitewash. What then ? Simply , my trappings had been transferred to imother animal, gotten up to exactly represent mite in the evening. This discovery brought an appalling interpretation of the coming horsemen. I gave the horse the whip, us soon as his unstable legs were well under him,uud sent him scour ing on ahead, while 1 ran off to the right making for a little shallow, dry rapine.— Here to my pr found astonishment I dis covered a lone cabin, or hut, about the dimensions of a common country log house, and impulsively dashing 1,1) to this, I gave a rapid succession of knocks. A shrinking, pale and cowering woman opened it. -What i.. is ?" was her first question, noticing my breathless haste. Had I stopped for a moment's reflec (ion upon the strangely isllated position of the cabin ' I should not have pushed in by her with the explanation. "Is there a chance to hide here—my horse has thrown me and I believe a pat ty of desperadoes are close up with me." I noticed that the moon was coming up dry and rod in the east, when she me c anically closed the door behind me, be fore 1 had finished my explanation. -No, no • there is no place," she gasp ed her quick ear nu w catching the sound of the coming horsemen. "This is all the room there is—and there's neither cellar nor attic.' "But this ?" I exclaimed, rus'iing Mr a dark object in the corner. "It's a coffin." was her quick respouce; "hut there's no other chance, they are timing up to the door, get in." I bad barely time to place myself in this receptacle for the dead,when a hoarse voice—one that I knew from descriptiohs I had had of it, called out— " [ICH r you dick." The woman threw her apron over her head and went to the door. "Where's Dick "He hasn't come back yet.'" said the woman. -oh, he ain't—Jen hey you heard a horse go by to-dig,ht ?" Yes, only a little while ago, a small man ?" :‘Yea—driving like the devil." u yo l i Eirh e i ti s i ,sithi t „a j tiA then pansed, listen. "" foigning to But Bill Wolf must have been or suspicions nature. I heard him leap from his horse and strike, with a jarring plunk upon the sod. A smouldering Ere was burning on the stone hearth. I could imagine Bill's attitude—he had a nand on each door casing, his brutal head was thrust inside the room ; he was peering about the apartment. "What in h— is that 1" he question. ed ; and my heart stood still, for I knew he spoke of my retreat. "It's Stauffer's coffin. Dick is atfoing to carry it over to•night." "titu . ff!" ejaculated the desperado, "as he made his bed, so let him lay—buzzards are the sextons fur the like o' The woman sort of groaned, and then I heard Wolf go up and joggle the rain barrel at the corner of the cabin, and finally go away with the remark : "He ain't far of; he couldn't stick to that blind critter when he begun ter bur . "What shall I do ? what shall I do ?' gasped the woman ; "they will be back in twenty minutes, for I believe that your horse is in sight, not more than three quarters of a mile off, and my husband is liable to come at any moment? "But with him inside the house we might—" • "With him !" she emphasised it in des. perate tones—"he is Bill Wolf's brother." I was out of the coffin in a trice then, you may w.:11 believe. "It ia death for .F .,u any way, fnr hest the rattle of Dick's axles already," she moaned. "Stay, there's the rain barrel, said I in desperation, "they've, tried that once they may not again." And before you would he able to speak a sentence, the water was dashed out of the cask and stealing down into arid soil, and I was in the barrel, and the woman dropping a tub half filled with water in at the top as a cover. She had barely time to enter the house, the door of which, fortunately, opened on the side away from the moon, when a rattling vehicle drew up at the door. and I heard a voice raving and swearing at the woman for something done, or un done, and then from the bunghole, the plug having been dislodged in the upset ting-of the cask, I saw the Jurious re turn of the three desperadoes. • There was a good deal of loud talking and explanations, and rough remarks about the coffin in the corner ; but Dick and the woman both seemed sore about the matter, and the man peremptorily re fused to join the bunt because of the coffin. "Well, yon're going our way a piece," said - Wolf ; 'likely enough you'll have the fun of seeing ns wing the turkey on our way." . • The conversation was distressingly personal, made acutely so by Dick's ask— ing - "Is there water enough out there, Jen, to drink mv -horse' ?" "I'll see, 4 she returned, mooving slowly over the door sill, and then leaping to the cask she lifted .out the tub and tipped my prison over - a little - so that I could spring out. I - was"behind the 'cask when Dick came to the:door, and chirupped up his beast to the tub to drink. -• go with , you'ea far as the forks," he said as two of them came out with the coffin and slid it into the body of the wagon. Then they stepped buck, probably to cull the others. At that moment a wild and desperate plan entered my brain, but feeling for my knife I found that it was missing, along with the belt to which it was at— tached. In the sudden jostle which the falling steed had given me, the girdle had been snupped and lust without my knowl edge. The horses of the three renegades —my own, which had been retained by the hostler at the inn, among them— were hitched on the further side of the door where the moonlight, striking by Elie end of the cabin, rested fully upon them. It was suicide to attempt seizing upon them ; but as the woman with some purpose in her mind sang out to the men to come buck and get the last dipper full of liquor which she had mixed, I seized the only alternative. I sprang lightly in to the wagon, lifted the coffin lid, and again crawled into the lung, narrow pris• on. There was no choice. The flood of moonlight had swept so fur toward my hiding place that only a part of my body was concealed by the barrel, and I knew that discovery was inevitable, fur the man's horse stood in such a position that in order to recover the reins he must have trodden upon me ; and there was no earthly thing as far as the eye could reach over the plain, behind which,a man could hide. Ail, but what if he should ride on his freight ? Can you think how my heart pumped away at the thought? You wonder what my pian could be ? I hand none, other than the thought of having only one man fo deal with, if he went on his way as he calculated. The three ruff:tins were mounted and all were ready to start, when the woman ran out with some sort of a blanket and mutter ed semetbiug about covering the coffin.— The man yelled out to her to mind her busines and let the thing alone. She retreated with the cloth, but she had accomplished her purpose. In its folds she had concealed a bowie knife ; under its cover she had raised the lid and dropped the weapon inside, risking giv ing me e cut us it fell upon me ; but in the momentary noise and confusion I had got the weapon in my hand, with its point raised the heavy lid of the rough box the fraction of au inch so that breath ing was easy if my' position was cramp ed.' The three horsemen spread out, re maked to each other : "Beat op the game up now speeely, before, by any miracle, he gets into the wooded belt by Buford's Springs." They continued to halloo to each oth er for some time ; their liberal potations surmounting their discretion. "Dick" they yelled back as they were driving off. "a cool two hundred apiece throw out your old shell and join in the I hunt." The driver mumbled something, but the liquor had thickened his speech so that it was unintelligible to me. If he did attempt to move the coffin I was lost. They kept within hailing distance for the length of some three or four miles, Dick smashing the wegon along at a fu rious gait, and I expected every momo-• that shell would be jutie sno d,- ut, --; off to the . right ; "a tally ho" as it the huntsmen had sighted the quarry. Nothing but an unwarrantable amount of liquor could have influenced them to conduct them selVes as they did, fur no sooner had they called out from the right, than Dick came to a sudden halt, leaped from his seat and ran off towards those who were hallooing. Fur one instant my heart stopped heat ing at the thought of the hazzard I was about to run. The next moment I sprang from the coffin to the ground. A few lightning-like strokes, and I bad severed the traces, and hold backs of the harness. The whole scene is pictured vividly in my mind. The moon-lighted prarie, the little ravine toward which the renegades were dashing, the wagon standing in the trail—ther the cuttling of the thills reached the ears of the party, and with a wild shout they sprang towards me. was on the horse's back, hit boldly de fined by the moon-light. There was a sharp report of two rifles. I felt a Win ing in my foot, another in my ohoulder, but the horse was uninjured end the race for life began. Thee was a dishooriening disadvant age for me, for I had no saddle, but I was riding for my lite. and I held the steed between my knees, and took the broad trail with the fury of a tornado.— But the issue would rest mostly with the horse. I knew nothing, of the one which I rode ; I knew nothing of those that were pursuing me, excepting my own white-faced mare. She would run like an antelope, and outwind a hurricane. On and on and on my steed, desperate. ly spared with the point of my knife, bore ahead, actually causing me to gasp for breath ; and two hundred yards in the rear rode my would-he murderers. On the rolling prairie now.aud my an imal took the declevities with a plunge and the elevations with a sure, fierce stride—across the brawling ford—but crack came another rifle echo, and apt!' a stream of fire seemed to. strike my shoulder. They were coming in—olosing up, One of these had dirieharged hie rifle at me, and the other I knew was held at rest to come a little nearer. A momentary dizziness lopped nie'over on my horse's neck. The rnffains yelled triumphantly behind, but a distant echo brought •me up, and giving my beast a stinging blow, I emitted the, wild, long, fierce yell of the border rangers,and sped on again ; but my horse had that peen. liar squirm now and then in his gait that told me, he was faltering. Again that echo reached'me, swelling out on the rising wind-it was the shrill sequel of the fife and the rum•drd-dle• urn, did.e•um•dnrn•dum, dam of infant ry returning from , some expedition to fort L. Again I sent that long, wild, border yell, and I knew by the, quicker breathing of the 'fife, and rapid pulsing of the drum, that the soldiers had bro. kon into the "double quick" in .the heed of my cry. A parting shot fired at, "random, and the desperadoes turned ; but one of them atleast I was not done-with "'called my horse with a peculiar whistle -I repeated it; and then heard her crashing again in parsuit,'.while her rider shouted and lash- ed her and tried to pull her around the other way, Fora brief time the despe rado wrestled with the animal, lashed, goaded, and roared at her, but my inces sant, jerky whistle-call kept her mind and bead toward me. He only gave op the fruitless struggle and leaped from her back when a squad of infantry dashed over a billowy swell of prank, and rush— ed down toward us at that steady, meas ured ran, which is so effective in contrast with the disorderly gait. "It'a Wolf, boys;' I exclaimed as they came up with me. I had no need to tell them that there was a price set upon his head, as it had been clearly proved that he had stirred up the savages to commit more than one massacre of the settlers ; and a dozen of them, uttering a yell of fury, started in pursuit, while the others, noticing my swaying about on my animal which rode, began to, think that I had found somethi❑g serious in the race for life. In fact the plain was rising and falling and shuffling about so that it took a great amount of nerve and equipoise to sit as I ought. They got me into fort Larmie, however, with Uncle's promissory notes all safe in my breast pocket, while a boot full of blood,and the galling flesh wounds in my shoulder, accounted for the odd manceverings of the plain while I was on horseback.

The • Chicago Inter-Ocean says : There have been some famous kissoss In history. and 5,0 m. that have been important in shaping political events. When Cardinal John of Lorraine was presented to the Dutchess of Savoy she gave him her hand to kiss. The great churchman was indignant. "I'll not be treated In this manner," said he. "I kiss the queen, my mis tress, and I shall not lass you, who aro only a dutchess ?" and despite the resistance of the proud little Portugese princess he kissed her three times squarely in the mouth. Voltaire was once publicly. kissed by the young and lovely Countess de Wiliam, who was compelled to this salute by the ets , r.c.e in the pit, who were man with enthusiasm over the great writ er. Georgiana,ducbess ut Deyonshire,gave Steele, a butcher, a kiss tor a vote, and another lady, equally beautiful, Jane, duchess of Gordon, re cruited a regiment in a similar manner. She was in the habit of putting a shilling betwvan her teeth, the :um usually haidsd .ecruits to hint' ~ hi bargain, and inviting any man who filled the physical requirements of a soldier to take the silver from its place [LEA become one of the famous Ninety-second. Said Daniel O'C.i ; nine% in securing votes for his favorite candia..oo, - IA; no woman salute the man who votes against them." Of course he carried the day. The portrait painter. Gil bert Stuart,once met a lady In Boston who said to film, "I have just seen your likeness, Mr. Stuart, and kisied it because it was so much like you." "And did it kiss you In return ?" said he. "No," replied the lady. "Then," re turned the gallant painter, "it was not like me." Speaking of kissing, the remarks of Sydney Smith on the subject are particularly pertinent„ "We are in tavor,"says he,"of a certain amount of shyness when a kiss is propowl,but it should not be too lung, and when the fair one gtves it, let It be administered with warmth and energy; let there be soul in it. If she close her eyes and sigh Immediately after it, the effect is stronger. She should be careful not to slobber a kiss, but give it as a humming-bird runs his bill into a honeysuckle—deep but delicate. There is much virtue in a kiss when wall de livered. We have the memory of one received in our youth which lasted us forty years, and we believe it shall be ono of the last things we shall think of When we die. It will be seen from the above extracts that kissing is no new• thngled luxury, but is ancient and venerable, coming down from the fathers. Any attempt, therefore, to do away with it, is a plain assault upon our liberties, and a rascally innovation that should not be tolerated. Truly, novelty is the spice of life. No sec ondary sensations are like the primaries, end habit,..in the end, stales every luxury. Repeti tion is the thief of enjoyment, as surely as pro crastination is the thief of time.

EARLY There can , be no question that, as a general rule, the habit of early rising is conducive to health ; bat, like many other similar matters, the general application would,by many,be con- verted into a nniverml law, and much fallacy and no little malchief has been done by the pr . opagation of the dogma. The poets have given their strains, the philosophers their spite rwn,s, and the hearty centenarian his expe rience, to eulogize early rising as .a sort of elixir of life, and preventive of illness and decease.— it is a great good, but not a universal one. It is generally said that all those who have attained great and green old age have been ear ly risers ; therefore, say others, early rising is a prothoter of health ; therefore, it ittight be whispered, those whose constitutions have car- vied them through a long life have been able to be early risers. As in many other things, the truth probably lies between the two ; there have been good vital powers on the one band, and good habits, of which early rising is often an indication,on the other. The wrong deduc tion, however, that early rising is an mitnixed `good; has occasioned much erroneous prictiCO, and many a delicate person, either in conse quence of the false Idea, or badly advised by others, has injured his health, materially, by perseverance in the practice ; this, however, is more common among the young than among the aged, who require less sleep. There is no question but that the bodily powers and constitution undergo marked and regular Changes during the twenty-four hours, changes which are probably influenced by elec• trie4 and other causes not at present under stood. At all events, In - dezease,evening brings fever If it is present at all ; further, in health the body, it is well known, is more obnoxious to the causes of disease in early morning than it is at other times ; and, lastly, persons of weak nervous power generally feel better to wards evening than they do in the moming,ev- en when the refreshment of a night's rest might be expected to have given strength. The reason of these differences it is perhaps not possible fully to explain, but we may' reasons-p conclude that the same influences which causes or aggravates the evening fever, and ab stracts excitement towards morning, may also act as the elevator or depressor of the constitu- lion gerierally,although only felt when it is not in full-vigor ; it may, or it may not bo owing to the presence or absence M. solar influence, hut still it is so, and the fact is - one of general experience. The fact, too, explains why early rising is not only not good for all persons, but why to some it is postively hurtful, and why those who are able to practice it are generally of strong and good constitution. Moreover, the fact tells that the person who cannot rise early with impunity is not in full vigor, but re quires means for attaining a better state of health ; when the pa wars of life are raised to the proper level, then, by all means, let them: be kept to lt,and early rising used as ono of the preservative means. What is meant by early rising is getting "up from rest before the sun has exerted some-pow er upon the earth ; the exact period tOsnit. en invalid it is impossible to specify, it ought to tie a matter of experience. That is . to say, retir ing to rest at a reasonable, early hour, such as 10 o'clock, the person should' rise as early as can be done without feelings of sleepiness, lan guor, etc., supervening during the day. There are certainly evils consequent ripen continu ance in bed in the morning, such as perspira tion, etc., out they may be greatly obviated by the non-use of feather beds or too much cloth ing. They are less, however, 'than those which result from a nervous system, exhausted at a period of the day before it had come into full nctivity. The same arguments which apply .to early rising also do so to exertions, or continu ance without fond by weak individuals in the first part of the mornig ; they can practice neither with impunity. There is no time of the day so pleasant, and the hale and strong can enjoy it to perfection, and gather' health in its fresh breezes, and their description will often teraDt the unwary' invalid to leave his couch and follow tray entampicrautt- raverealFy . does enjoy, for a short time, the noyelty ; but shortly languor creeps over him ; the breakfast which disappears before the appetite of the strong morning walker hits no charms for his exhausted weaker companion, Who pays with a day of listless languor for this ill-advised attempt. These hints will, it is trusted, not be taken as en encouragement to laziness, but as pointing out a very common error in popular belief and popular practice. The person of weak vital power, who cannot be an early.ris er, must guard well that he does not mistake sloth for inability, by indulging in late hours, which are often to him the most vigorous,--- Persons who suffer much from debility ( in the morning, and who are constrained-t 0; be up early, ought, as soon as possible,XO have some warm refreshment—a cup 'of warm milk,,if it agrees, or tea, coffee, or cocoa PROVERBS REFUTED It has been said of old that "A bird In the hand is worth two in the bush."
