MDGWAY, ELK CO. PA., FRIDAY, JUNE 4,
KISSING IN THE STREET.
Did you ever notice mortals
Now I'll bet a cent you did
Now the ladies pretty creatures
Can't keep their feelings bid t
But thoy are kissing out in public;
Kissing everywhere they meet;
Kiss kiss at church, at shopping,
And kissing in the street!
Behold a charming maiden,
Arrayed in fashions bright,
She meets upon the sidewalk
A friend Bbe saw last night:
'How are yon darling NelUot
How glad I am to meet,"
Then a dainty shake of fingers
And a kissing in the streot l '
A bachelor beside us
Says, "pity this is done
So much, for I am certain .
It can't be any fun;
This kissing out In public:
KissiDg everywhere they meet;
Kiss, kiss, at church and shopping,
And kissing -In the street!"
'But the secret great, is this, sirl
The maidon has no beau -No
gentleman to kiss her
She must her feelings show
By kissing but in public;
Kissing all she may meet:
Kiss, kiss, at church and shopping;
And kissing in tho street !'
Now, merry hearted mnidens,
And women most discreet,
Give over this bad habit
Of kissing in the stroet;
Remornbor that false traitor
Who knelt at Jesus' feet,
And don't bocomo a greater
By kissing in the street
Bo noble minded women,
With hearts attend tho right;
Then shall each see tho other
As those who dwell in light ;
But never for an instant
Whoever you mny meet
Be cuttght like silly noodles,
A kissing in tho street ,
OUT OF THE WKONG POCKET
Mr. Taggnrd frowned as he observed the
pile of bills by his plate, plnced thcro by his
prudent, economical wife, not without an
uuxioub flutter at the heart, in anticipation
of the scene, that invarably followed, lie
actuully groaned as be read tho sum total
'There must be some mistake, Mary,' he
said, pushing back his plate, with a desper
ate air; 'it is absolutely impossible for us to
have used ail these turners iu one month!
'The bills are correct, John,' wus the meek
response; I looked them over myself.'
1 hen ouo thing is certain, provisions are
either wasted thrown out ot the window
as it were or stolen! Jane hna relatives
the place, and I haven't the least doubt but
that she .supports them entirely out of what
sue sU'Uls'
Mrs. Taggard's temper was evidently ris
Lgj there were two round, crimsoned spoti
upon tier cueeus, ana tupped her loot ner
vously upon the floor.
I am neither wasteful ot extravagant,
John. And U3 for Jane, I know her to be
perfectly honest nnd trustworthy.'
It is evident there is a leak somewhere
Mary; and it is your duty as a wile, to Cud
out where it is, and stop it. Our bills are
euormous; and if this sort of thing goes on
much longer, I shall be a bankrupt!
Mrs. Tuggart remained sileut, trying to
cboke down the indignant feelings that strug
gled for utterance. -
l ou will have to order some coal,' she
said at last; 'we have hardly sufficient for
the day.'
Is there anything more, Mrs. laggard;
inquired her husband, ironically.
"Yes; neither myself, nor the children are
comfortably clothed; all need an entire new
oulut.
'Go on, madam. As I am a man of un
limited means, if you have any other wants,
I hope you won't bo at all backward ubout
mentioning 'em."
'1 don t intend to be,' was the spirited
reply. 'I wouldn't do for another what I
do for you, for double my board and cloth
ing. Isoth the parlor and sitting-room need
refurnishing; everything looks so faded and
shabby, that I am ashamed to have anybody
call. And the stairs need re-carpeting, the
bliuds aud gate repaired, and the fence paint
ed.' 'That can't be all, Mrs. Taggard. Are
you sure that there isn't something else?'
'1 dou t luiuK ot anvtuinsr lust now: Mr.
Taggnrd; though if there should be a few
dollars over and what above these will cost,
they won't come amiss. I should like to have a
little change in my pocket, if only for the
novelty of the thing, you needen t fear its
Deing wasiea.
Air. l aggard was evidently not a liltlo as
tonished at bis sadden outbreak in his usually
quiet and patient wile, bat who, like most
women of that stamp, had considerable rpirit
when it was roused.
'Now that you are through, Mrs. Taggard,
perhaps you will let me say a word. Here
is all the money 1 can spare this month; bo
yon can make tne most of it'
Laying a roll of bills on the table. Mr,
Taggard walked to the door; remarking,
iust before he closed it. 'that lie should
leave town on the nest train, to be absent
about a week.'
Thereverv into which Mrs. Taeeard fell
as she listened to the sound of his retreating
steps, was far from being a pleasant one.
Aside from her natural vexation, she felt
grieved and saddened by the change that bad
come over ber once kind, indulgent husband.
His mind seemed to be entirely filled with
the greed lor gain, the desire to amass
money not for the sake of the good that it
might enable him to enjoy, or confer, but
for the mere pleasure of hoarding it And
this miserly feeling grew upon him daily.
until be seemed to grudge his family the com
mon comiorts or lite. And yet Mrs. Tag'
gard knew that he was not only in receipt of
comiortaoie income Irom his business, out
had laid by a surplus, yearly, ever since
She taxed her Ingenuity to nave in every
possible way, but when the monthly bills
were presented the name scene was enacted,
only it grew worse and worse.
And this penuriousness extended to him
self, lie grudged himself, as well ns hia
wife and children, clothing suitable to his
means and station, and went around looking
so rusty and shabby that Mrs. laggard otten
felt ashamed of him, inwardly wondering if
he be the same man who had wooed and won
her.
With a heavy sich Mrs. Taggard took np
the roll of bills upon the table, hoping to
find enough to pay what was already due
she did not look for more.
An ejaculation of astonishment burst
from her lips as she unrolled thp paper in
which it was folded. It contained $500
in bills, and a check for $500.
With a look of ciuiet determination in her
eyes, Mrs. Taggard arose to her feet. 'The
lamtly should now have some ot tne comiorts
to which they are entitled, if they never did
again.'
First, she settled every bill; a heavy
weight being lifted from her heart as she did
so; besides getting a fresh supply of fuel
and other comforts. Her next move was to
order new furniture for the sitting-room and
parlor, have the hall re-carpeted and pnpered,
the broken door-step mended, and the tence
and blinds pninted and repnircd. She then
took the children ont, and got them new
garments, from hats to shoes. She bought
herself three new dresses; a neat gingham
for morning wear, a delaine for afternoon's;
and something nicer for best. And before
going home, she took the children into a
toy-shop; delighting the boy with the skates
he had so often asked for, and giving the
girl the chief wish of her heart, a doll and
doll's wardrobe not lorgetting some blocks
for the baby. For like a wise, as well ns
kind mother, Mrs. Tajrgard desired to make
their childhood a happy one; something to
look back upon with pleasure through their
whole afterlife. Neither was John forgot
ten; by the aid of some old garments for a
pattern, she trot htm an entire new suit,
together with stuff for dressing-gown and
slippers.
The dny on which Mrs. Taggard expected
her husband 8 return was a very busy one;
but at last the carpets were down, the paper
hung, and everything in npple-pie order.
He was expected on the live o'clock train,
and Mrs. Tap-gnrd set the children, attired
in their pretty new dresses, at the window
to 'watch for papa,' while she went below to
nsnist Jane iu preparing something extra for
supper. She had but just returned when Mr.
Tuirsnrd was seen approaching the house.
It looked so different from what it did
when he left, that he stared at it in amaze
ment, and would have hesitated about enter
ing, hud it not been for the name on the
newly burnished door-plate. 15ut be was
still more astonished when he entered.
'Am I in my own house, or somebody's
else?' he ejuculuted, as he looked around the
bright and pleasant room.
It is the new furniture I have ber-n buy.
ing,' said bis wife, smilling. 'How do you
like it?
Have you been runingmo in debt, Mary?'
'Not iu the least, John; it was all bought
with the money you so generously lelt me
when you went away.
Mr. Taggard clapped his band into one of
his pockets.
'Good heavens!' he exclaimed, iu an ngitat
ed tone and manner, 'I gave it to you out ot
the wrong pocket!'
Mrs. Taggard did not look at all astonish
ed or disturbed at this announcement; on the
contrary, her countenance wore a verysmil
ing and trauquil aspect.
'You don't mean to say you have spent
itr inquired Mr. laggard, desperately.
V hy what else would 1 do with it, Jobnf
You told me to make the most of it; and I
rather think I have.'
'I am a ruined man!' groaned Mr. Taggnrd.
'Not a bit of it, my dear husband,' said
his wife cheerfully; 'you wouldn't be ruiued
if you had given mo twice that amount
liesides, J have saved enough for oar house
keeping expenses for three months, at least
I think you bad better give me an allowance
for that purpose in future; it will save us
both much annoyance,
The children, who had been led to consid
er what tneir mother had bought them as
presents from papa,' now crowded eargerly
around him,
Mr. Taggard loved his children, and it
would be difficult for any one having the kind
and tender heart be really possessed, to turn
away from the innocent smiles and caresses
that were lavished upon him,
And when bis wife approached with the
dressing-gown and slippers, be not only allow
ed her to induct him into them, but returned
the loving caress with which she assured him
"that he looked as young aud handsome as
ever.
It was smiling group that gathered round
the cheerful super-table. And Mr. Taggard
from the gleeful children to the Bmiliog face
of his wile, who certainly looked ten years
younger, attired in ber new becoming dress,
he came to the conclusion that though it
might cost something to make bis fumily
comfortable, on the whole, to use a common
but expressive phrase, 'it paid.'
We do not mean to say that Mr. Taggard
wag entirely cured; a passion so strong is not
so easily eradicated, liut when the old
miserly feeling came over him, aud he began
to dole out grudgingly the means with which
to make his family comfortable, hia wife
would laughingly say: 'You are taking it
out of the wrong pocket, John!' words
which seemed to have a magical effect upon
both heart and purse-strings.
'Let us take comfort as we go along.' she
would often say, as she laid her cheek loving
ly to his; 'nor grudge our children the inno
cent pleasures natural to youth, fcr the par
pose of laying np for them the wealth that
is, too often, a curse rather than blessing.'

ings since, when the "pledge" was being cir
culated, a decidedly ineberated individual
presented himself and offered his signature.
The chairman remarked, "This is a very im
portant step, my friend, and I trust you re
alize the responsibility you are assuming."
"Oh, I can stand the (hie) 'sponsibility,"
was the response; "I've done it lots of times
before." The chairman waivering between
sigh and a smile, turned at once to other and

From the United Irishman.
The Position of die Democrtitic
Party.
However anxious we may be, in accord
ance with the principles and policy of this
journal, to avoid the discussion of questions
that would be likely to lead as into the Held
where party politics are in conflict, we, nev-
ertheless, deem it a duty to a cause dearer to
as than that of the American politician, to
speak onr mind freely as to the present atti
tude of the Democratic party, on the ques
tions in dispute between this country anu
England. Let ns, then, at once, state the
plain troth, that the Democratic party, as at
present managed and led, is pro-English in
tensely, or, at least, is rapidly becoming
such. Not a Democratic organ can we pick
up without finding evidence to that effect
From the day that tho Senate rejected the
Clarendon-Johnson treaty, the entire press ol
that party have been denouncing all who dis
played the least spirit of hostility to Eng
land, and all their effects are devoted to the
denunciation of any position looking to
wards a bold and resolute policy in dealing
with the British Government The New
York World, the lending Democratic paper
of the land, has nsed all its great ability in
writing down the Americnn view of the Ala
bama claim and the Courier of this city
has been no less industrious in the some di-
rection. And such has been the key in
which have sung nearly all other journals of
the same complexion. bumner, since he
proclaimed the crimes of England, has been
argued against day by day, and Chandler, for
having proposed speedy satistaction or tight,
has been blackguarded and ridiculed without
mercy of cessation. 1 hey have deuounced
him as a fool, as a knave and as a drunkard.
And why they should specially single him
out for their wit and their anathemas, we
know no other reason thau that he is a bit
ter enemy of England, aud believes in the
annexation, or, if necessary, the conquest of
Cannda. When we remember that it is the
Irish people who gave to Democrocy its
strength and its solidity, its pro-English
tendencies strike one, Bt hrst view, as almost
inexplicable, and lead inevitably to the con
elusion that the leaders have a profound con
tempt for those from whom they have ever
demanded support, and been able to place
reliance.
We would like to ask the leaders and the
organH of the Democratic party if they are
resolved to pursuo their present course? If
so, we can tell them that they may count, np
on the active and bitter hostility of the
Irich citizen, instead of his support The
ties that formerly bound him, as with bands
of Bteel, to the Democracy, have been great
ly loosened; it would only require a little
longer continuance in a pro-English policy
on its part, to induce him to throw them off
altogether, and forever. 1 be ' Courier ot
this city must be aware that it is crossing
the path and decrying the aims of the Irish
people in its policy at the present time, Ire'
laud's friends, and that they care little
whether such friends are Abolitionists or
not? If it does not know this, it is inex
cusably ignorant of the feelings and wishes
of a very large and vitally necessary element
in its party; and it it does know it, what cx
cuse dare it offer for the disdain and contempt
implied by its course? It would be well not
ouly for the Courier to consider the above
questions; but for all other Democartic jour
nals, to do likewise. The sooner they an
derstaud that the Irish citizen believes that
a war with England would be a blessiug both
for America aud for Ireland, the sooner they
will cease to chanpion England in our pres
ent dispute, and the better it will be tor the
party, and for humanity. Une of the rea
sons why the Irish people in this land have
so generally attached themselves to the uem
ocratic party has been that it was boldly
American, and openly anti-iL.nglish. I his it
seems is no longer the case. luo times
change. Let Belmont and the Democratic
leaders believe that the Irish are disposed
aud fully prepared to change with them.
Whom the geds wish to destroy they
first deprive of reason" QrEM peub vui.t
perperr priub pementat, is a proverb strik'
ingly illustrated by the present attitude and
tendencies of the Democracy as evidence by
its oracles. We know the masses are right
and will remain rigbHcan the leaders and
wire-pullers anord to be wrong! .Let them
look to it as they hope for, and desire future
success.

Confederate Dead Unearthed
Twenty Acres of Human. Bones
While our ladies are mourning and deeo
rating the graves in Oakwood, and while the
masssve stone monument to the memory of
of those who lie in Hollywood is gradually ap
proacbing completion, it is distressing to
hear of the neglect of the bones of those who
are buried where they fell on the hillsides
and in the valleys in other parts of the
State. The reports that reach us of the sacri
ligeous conduct of many Virginia farmers- are
so shocking that we hesitate to give thera
credence, although our duty as journalists re
quires us to lay tbem before onr readers.
A few weeks ago we published an account
0f tie state of affairs ut Fort Harrison, which
subsequPnt investigation proved too true.
Now conies a most harrowing story from
Vnlwm Hill, where so many of our beat and

their devotion to the Southern cause.
On the northwest side of the fort a most

strewed in profusion, and grinning skulls
stare the visitors in the face on every nana.
When the farmer was Questioned he said
the land was now the richest place be hao',
and, in justification of the sacriligioua act,
stated that "he didn't put 'em there, nohow."
The writer learned afterward that the bones
had been taken away by the cart load and sold
to fertilizing mills in Richmond. Two hu
mane men, too poor to do anything else,
came one day, we we-e there, and attempted
to barn some of the bones to prevent the

No one can be ignorant that we have de

never ceased humbly to pray with fervor, and
to supplicate "the Father of light, from
whom coraeth down every best gift, and per
fect gilt, to send down "the wisdom that
sitteth by his throne, to remain with as, to
work in as, that we may know what is agree
able to Him." That Almighty God may
deign to listen to our prayers, and incline
his ear to our supplications, wo nave deter
mined to excite all the faithful to greater
piety and devotion in order that by uniting
hig alf nowerful arm, and the heavenly light,
their prayers to ours, we mny obtain tne aia ot

ers are more agreeable to God when they, as

purified from all stain, we wish on this occa

celestial treasury ot indulgences ot which the

aged thereby to true repentauce, and puriffed
