Thero'e a Jolly Saxon proverb That la pretty much like this, That a man Is half In heaven When he has a woman's kiss; But there'e danger in delaying And tho sweetness may forsuke It So I tell you, bashful lover, If you want a kiss why hike it. Nevor let another fellow Steal a march on you In this) Nover let t laughing inaidon See you spoiling for a klsl Thero'i a royal way to kissing, And the Jelly ones who make it Ilave a motto that Is winning ir you wont a kiss, why take It. Any fuel may face a cannon ; Anybody wear a crown, nut a man must win a woman, If he'd have her fur hit own i Would you havotho goblou apple. You must find thotreennd shake It; If the thing It worth the having, And you want a kiss, why take It. Who would bum upon a desort, With a forest auilliiutbyt Who would give his sunny summer Forableukand wiutryekyf Ohl Itcllyou taero la limbic, And you cannot, cannot break It ; For tho aweotcst part of loving la to wuut a kiss, and take it. TOE CRETAN WAR-BATTLE OF HER. ACLEUM. A correspondent cf the London Times who dates his letter from the headquar. ters ot tho Cretan insurgents near llera cleum, April 20, desoribes the battle of the previous day between the Cretans and Greek volunteers and tho Turks on the plains of Horaoletim, as follows : 'Dunns 'he earlier part of the day re ports were brought to onr chiefs that a Turkish detachment had appeared in the deiilo left opeu to tempt them. We ao oordmgiy marched westward through the dehlu behind Kruaonas, to a central position among the mountains. Here we haltod until a breathless messenger came running to summon our aid. The Turks had advanced in force. Thero was a sharp contest now going on be tween their vanguard and tho corps of Koioneos, who had already joined the villagers ir. tho deOle. Not a moment should be lost, for, if quick enough, wo could tako the enemy in flank. This was what our ohiefs had been manoeuvcring to do, and they resumed their march with a!l the eagerness of men orty yoars younger. 1 ho aged soldiers also gained vigor with occasion. Pelropoulaki cheer. ed forward his well tried volunteers; Korakas urged, on the hardy Cretans, and wo scrambled over almost impassa ble paths with marvelous rapidity. Wo dived into one ravine and climbed out of another, slipped over rocks, and tramp, led through prickly bushes, until the troops had fairly distanced their com manders. Now some little shepherd boy high up above us cried in a shrill voice. This way, patriots !' or 'Turn to the right, patriots !' or some such practical direction. Then it was a refurjree familv which cried tcut to us from the rocks with all their might, saying, 'God bless the Christian arms.' We could present, ly hear a sharp tusilade, cracking and echoing in tho deiilo of AJ.onr.orus. Fast er ran me men, with a warlike murmur rather than a distinct cheer passing from end to eud of tho column. Petropoula ki's son, Leonidan, was, as usual, among the very 6rt. and witb a strong body of volunteers, he had thrown himself ,npon tho enemy's flank just as our main force reached the edge ot the valley. A few stray bullets had come singing over the rooks far in rear, but now, all at once, wo entered upon Iho scene of action, and our men look up the firo in loose skirmishing fashion. Tho head ot our column had delivered a volley to let friends and foes know that we had nr. rived. But thenceforward we had inde. pendent firing. 'What with rooks and bushes, with tho irregular formation of even the so called .plain, and an atmosphere which made objects at 5,000 yards look as though only at 500, we were often puz zled as to where the Turks had gone or whither the Christians were following them. Nevertheless, it was an exoittng speotaulo. Up the opposite hillside there moved a column ot Turks with red ban. nors dearly to be distinguished at their head. On the stony roadway of the do. file wore other Turks pressing forward, and we could hear their furious shouts above the crash of musketry. Some skirmishers fired in our direction when we first appeared, but very soon lost heart as Petropouluki's men poured a steady fire upon them. The detachment nnder Leonidas Fetropoulaki and. the Cretans ot Korakas had meanwhile de. soonded to the bottom of the gorge, and wore climbing swiftly toward the cno my's position. Koroneos recovered tho ground which he bad lost, there was a louder and louder discbarge rf musketry from our rocky vantnge point, and an advance of Christians along tho roadway wun ringing enters. We can see the Turkish banners waver and fall back rap. idly faster and faster. There is a shout of triumph on every ido. 'Victory to the cross 1' And n'riw our fire ceases, for we can no longer distinguish friend from foe, whie down toward the plain goes crackling a brisk fusilade. The Turkish irregulars fit with goat-like no tivity, but their diduiplined troops behave well, and lire at intervals during the re. treat. We who are high up can see that our friends below had better top and pnrnuo no further. We can clearly make out a large reserve of Turks on the plain, with cavalry and cannon. ItisuselofS to descend. Jint the Cretans havo warm ed to their work, and they push forward with loud shoutB until they havo reached the lowermost range cf rocks. Hore they must pause, as we can well discorn, for the guns and cavalry will bar their progress. So it turns out in a very few minutes. There are white puffs ofsmoke, and there is a whizzing of shells from the Turkish reserve; then sonio horse uiou wove qmcniy iorwara, ana some Jigyptian infantry in white uniforms come charging up toward Monsoros. The Christians tall baok before these now assailants, though not without a murder ous ere to protect their retreat. Tho Egyptians charge resolutely on, and thoro is again a discharge from our side the valley. Yielding step by step, Kor oneos and Korakas moved slowly out of reach. No bayonet chargo can last all night, and when the enemy has lost his breath, and our meu have spent their ammunition, the bntlle is over. The Turks returned to Jleraclcurn without any further attempt to explore the moun. tains. PROPOSALS FOR A GENERAL JAIL DE LI Viai x. Air. Jefferson Davis regarded as a sol dier is a deserLr regarded as a citizen is a rebel against his country, his guilt In both cases being of popular aggrava tion. For two years ho has been held in confinement for his military crimes, liable to trial by court martial j but on the 13th of this present month ho was released from his military confinement and handed over to tho civil powers. His cruno as a de ertcr was bad enot'gh. He deserted bis flag and employed the skill and science as a soldier which his country had aided him to obtain in his L'flort to destroy her, and gave such 'aid i and oomfort' to her enemies as no other j deserter in nil her military history had done i and yet, without so much as a word ot reproof, was bo remitted from confinement. What soldier herealtct can be punished for desertion in the American army with this latal precedent established ? What soldier can ever dis serve punishment if this man does not! If the principlo on which the military authorities of tho United Slates passed by the crimes of Col. Davis be true, must it not end for ever military discipline! I5ut great as was his guilt as a deserter, his crime as a rebel had features ot even ii eater malignancy and atrocity. Plac ed in the highest seat in tho councils ot his couniry, and prominent in the direc tion ot her government, this man plotted long and coolly for her dishonor and de struction. Ho was not an insurgent goaded to forcible resistance to unjust oppression, hut a deliberate conspirator who long contemplated and long plan, ned the ruin of his country. Posterity will so regard him. But, strange to say, this rebel was not detained a prisoner by the civil authori ties of the land so much as an hour 1 No sooner was he relieved from military re. straint and made amenable to the law of the land than haste was made immedi ately to discharge him. His first ap pearance in a court of justice after his bloody work ot treason had bcon done was rather in the character ot a hero than a criminal, Tho Judge ot the United States who presided, thinking the occa. siou one of unusual importance from the presence of such distinguished men as sembled on tho ocoasion, commanded that the ordinary routine of the opening ot his court should be oraittoJ, thus dis pensing as it were, with even the for. mality ot justice. . Crowds ot enthusias tic admirers awaited his arrival, and, in the very temple ot Justice, the aroh criminal was recoived with plaudits and congratulations. i . Not to his politioal friends was oonfin ed this expression of admiration, if not approval. There stood some who knew his guilt, whose tongues and pens had told it to tho world, ready to extend to him tho expression of friendly sympathy, and to affuid him, too, substantial aid Aye, this man, dripping as it were with me blood of half a million murdered oitizenH, against whom have risen to .1 : 5 . jcnvvu we uncs anu tears oi countless mother, wive, and sisters, whose cheer less homes tell them daily t his fatal work who has burdened the country wuli the heavy taxes under which groans and who stands bofore mankind as the leader of Wle most unjustifiablo rebjjllion against the national authority the world has over seon, is received on this romnrkablo occasion with the plaud its of bis frieuds and the sympathy of his toes. If this guilty man may thus go free, of what use is law T Why should not less conspicuous prisouors, and for less flagrant crimes, be let go freo to t Why should we not have a general jail delive ry, Iron Age. ALL NATIONS BUT ONK The day before the Cunard steamers arrive in port, being the last of the voy' age, is one the passengors generally ini proyo as an occasion for a sort of fare well and grand dinner, at which songs are sung, jokes oracked, and speeches made, every ono at the table being ex peoted to contribute something to the entertainment. Upon a recent occasion it chanced that quite a large party of gentlemen, representing a great many nationalities of proposers, till at length an American, rising in turn, proposed. 'Here's to all nations but one.' This as may be supposed, created some sensatiou, each suspecting that his na tion might bo the one referred to, aM prepared to resent an indignity, tl publicly offered. 'Monsieur docs not raeau la b Franco!' said a Frenchman, first bre: ing tho silence that followed. Not at all ; vive la France,' said Yankeo raising his goblet. Senor's remarks do not apply Spain !' said a dark moustached indiv ual iiiterrosralively. 'Certainly not ; tho health of sabella. 'Germany vas always goot frent America,' obsorved a pilgrim from v erland. Tho best. I do not refer to her ; Russia, whom wo honor. A bunipe Russia,' said he, as the blue eyes d Muscovito lighted up with pleasure. 'Nor Austria,' continued he as a young man of that country fidgetled upon his seat. 'Well, sir,' said a sturdy John Bull, rising in his sent, 'its pretty obvious to me in what direction your sentiment is leveled, and as an Englishman, if it is intended to be an insult to England, I demand a propor apology, for I'll not sit hero in sight of my native couutry and sec her insulted least of all by a Yan kee.' The Briton grow red in the face, and grasped a decanter, raatteis locked om inous, for the Ameiicanrosu promptly to m feet. 'Spoken like a man,' said he to the Englishman, 'but England was not the nation I alluded to.' 'Name name give ns tho name,' cried the company, now thoroughly ex cited. 'Certainly,' said tho American, 'with this proyiso, that the first one that nieots the representative ot that nation shall inform him of the slight.' 'I gave to all nations but one, the na tion that I excepted was damnation.' John Bull Bat down aiflid the universal shout that followed .the announcement, with the not very charitable wish that the author ot this sentiment might be well toasted by the representative of the nation he had slighted. It has been fashionable of late to stig. matize tho blacks of the South as shiftless and iudolcnt. It now appears that laziness and unthrift in that section is not mon opolized by the blacks. Tho New Orleans Picayune declares that 'indolence and worthlessncss has taken possession of thousands of white men in the South, since tho close of the war threw them out of employment. Men, who previous to the war were industriously employed in agricultural pursuits, and oontent with the respeotable independence of a farmer's life, have, in consequence of tho tastes ongondored by four years of a soldier's life, beoouae stragglers and ad venturers in cities, and lost all love for labor.'

He neither joined in the applause bestowed upon the per. formers, nor in tho hisses lavished on the 'snpes,' but silently and admiringly look on at tho play. He heard the drum heat to arms at Bosworth field heard Richard's soul-stirring address to his army, and that of Richmond also ho saw the onslaught, and beard tho clash of arms, and still did he preserve his silence i but when at length Richard comes reeling in, overcome almost by tho loss ot blood and the disasters of the day, crying out, at the top of his voioc 'A horse I a horse I my kingdom for a horse!' the Vermontcr rose and 'sung' out 'Look here, straingcr, I baint got no horse, but I have a first-rate bob tail mare round here at the stable as sure footed a oritter as ever cantered i just hold on there, I'll be blamed it I don't bring her to you right off 1' The Vermonter, as they say in critical parlance, 'brought down the house.'
