THE STOLEN KISS.

3 Lady, you said, the other night
You did no, think that il was right
70 kiss you on the lip,
Yet blame uie not, or blame The bee
That seeks the besl rose on the tree,
Aud where ghs honssly's krown 10 be
Is sure 70 light and sip.
Or, If you still my conduct blame,
And think my first excuse is lame,
Jus, pause and tell me why
Your red lip pouts SO tsmpsingiy,
And il il said come now. kiss me!
Some might the sweet temptations Aee,
But such one am rot l.
And We. we both are right, perchahce,
For i have heard that folks in France
Arrange il on This fa.Aion:
They kiss ; stranger on the hand,
Upon the cheek female friend,
Bot ievers always may demand
The Zip, and plead their passion.
III this be trus.' perhaps you'll say,
sYou should NO, lake the lovers way.
Untilysu are levers'
All, lady,ii you answer 20,
Ny arguments for nothing go,
And if 'swere tried in law, know
You'd damsges recover.
For. though ! might in snswer plead
That lover vss indeed,
YET, if ysuld deny.
8 That you regarded me - one,
AS sure 10 any ride gun
My arguments would all be done,
And have no reply.
But, dearest lady, even then,
think I'd Try my luck again,
And plead for come delay,
That might USE she lovers art,
And win in truth your guildlsss heart,
Then take one kiss less than my part,
And thus the damage pay.

The present condition of the Wing party
in Mississippi is gratifying to all lovers of
good order and substantial political morality.
Our prospects are cheering, and We cOngrat-
ulate our party in being able unhesitatingly
TO say 60. The Wings Of Mississippi were
so badly beaten at the late repudiating cleo
ton that they felt they had done wrong in
suffering chicanery and intrigue to over
come them; and they are now giving salts
factory tokens Of 6rm and unshaken inten-
ton 10 retrieve their former Standing and
character.
The calls for State Convention have been
responded to with burst Of feeling which
we have never before witnessed. Every
county in the State, with scarcely solitary
exception, have already responded 10 the
call, and have either appointed their dele
gates or have called meetings for the purpose
ofdoing 80. There is a surprising and highly
gratifying unanimity of feeling throughout
the whole State, both as to the propriety Of
holding a Convention this spring and as TO
the time fixed upon. On these points we
hear not a dissenting voice in any wing
press in the State, or through any other me-
dunn. All the northern parts Of the State
have in various WAYS indicated their entire
concurrence in the Second Monday Of June
as the most convenient and proper time !;
and every mail 70: some weeks past has
brought US farther and still farther assuran-
ces that they will meet US at Jackson at that
.me: There is an eagerness all over the
State to shake of this most foul and disgrace
ful yoke Of hated reputation. And in this
holy crusade, in the footsteps Of Justice and
under the broad banner of INTEGRITY and
RIGHT, we are proud to find that not few
Of the 6ssi portion Of the democratic ranks
are with US. We hail them as honorable
allies in this most honorable of all causes
We will war together and vote together for
once, and then, after having done noble
and a righteous deed, If we cannot travel
farther together, we will seperate in peace,
and IL need be, contend again together about
other matters.
The Wings Of Mississippi feel that they
have a double duty to perform. They have
70 contend again for the glorious principles
Of is40s which they 50 vaiisntiy won, and
which were 50 ireacherouslY wrestcd from
them and they have 10 contend with do
nestle dsmagogue which threatens the peacs
and dignity Of the soil we tread upon.
Under these circumstances il is not to be
wondered a. that we should be found buck.
ling on our amor. and making ready for the
approaching election. We have something
b 40. lnd we are about to do il; and the
une mplsd hnanimiiy that is now seen q
prevail ah over the State gives satisfactory
