IF YOU WANT A KISS, TAKE IT.
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

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.'
