THE STOLEN KISS.

One dewy eve in balmy June,
The twilight in the west was falling,
And DER the chaste, bright, watchful moon,
A cloud at times was slowly stealing,
The soft, cool grass and leaves were wet
With infant dew drops clear and cleaning
That evening It haunts me yet,
And will thro, all lile's isfuldreaming,
stood beneath an arching vine,
Whose tendrils dropped to kiss the water,
For there I'd won the Bliss, at nine
To meet the pastor's charming daughter
A warm, wild girl with starlike eyes
Yet stars meier had such wicked motion,
And cheeks like those half heavenly dyes,
That tint the blushing shells Of ocean.
/ told her this--snd told her more
How earth, without her, seemed SO lonely
And on my Bonded knee swoTe
To love her aye--and love her only.
And she, fond thing, believed il all--
And ali. heard her young heart beating,
While, as pressed her hand 50 small,
She promised me this stolen meeting.

Had yelled the moon, as with curtain--
But list footrtep on the grass!

PRoGREss OF DEMocRAcY.-By late I'D
vices from Prussia we learn that that king
dom is now profoundly agitated by the
loud, stern, yet sober demand of the pco-
pie for Constitution and IL National Con
gress. Every province is aroused, and
public meetings are held in every quarter,
and remonstrances and petitions poured
into the government in a ceaseless stream
Elbefelde and Dusseldorf are filled with
excited men. The King dare not pre-
vent these meetings by the bayonet, for
the soldiers are known 10 sympathze with
the people. ga Constitution" is the most
alarming cry that can meet the ears OF a
despot. 1t commenced like the earth
quake that rocked the Bourbons 20 their
grave, and sunk the arstocracy oil Franco
IN q sea Of blood. +" A Constitution" is
the knel of despotism, and Prussia is now
shaking on her feudal throne. This move
ment has been set on foot by the appear
ance oe book written by Prussian law
yer named Jacoby, who, by referring to
the promise made by the father Of the
present King to grant National Con-
gross, 10 meet at Berlin, proves that the
demand Of the people is not matter OF
Justice but law. The edlct William Ill,
issued in the commoiion created by Bona.
parte in his fierce passage over Europe, is
declared to be law which the present
King is bound to see fulfilled. If Prussia
pets a Constitution, woe TO Federalism in
Europe. Thus goes democracy over The

WOMAN,s LOVE.

The love Of woman is the greatest bliss
The other world in mercy gave to this;
For when mans Borrowing bosom is too full,
And when his weeping eyes with tears are dull,
And when bis once subservient friends are gone
There lives TO soothe his mseries hut one;
And che can with single smile impart
Joy and contentment to his harassed hearts
And she alone, with all her witching power "a
Can turn to happiness the gloomy hour; ~
True as to earth the Regent Of tho Night,
Man finds her still in sorrows infinite.

DOMESTIC ITEMS.

SHIPPERS IN BAcoN.--Last year We lost
at least ono-third of our ham meat by the
shippers, notwithstanding every attention,
but never destroyed the shippers while the
meat lasted Our neighbors were, in this
respect, as unfortunate as ourselves.
This spring, knowing that our meat had
been well smoked, and the weather dry, we
neglected airing ii as is customary, until
our old enemy, the skipper, returned, and
had eaten il smartly. Sister, who attends
to it, had it examined, scrapbd and sum

found that there were in it nearly as many
shippers as at fret; you may suppose, af-

bacon. The leaves were accordingly beat
in a mortar, adding little water: the flesh
side of the meat was rubbed with the
leaves thus bruised, and where small holes
appeared, the juice was poured in. In
three weeks after, the meat was reexam.

not in the least degree communicate any
bad taste to the meat haYe little doubt
that this, with many other simple applica-

TRANSATLANTIC TREES. No work Is
more carelcssy or heedlessy performed
by individuals 10 general than tranplanting
trees. Few persons seem to be aware
that tree is a living object; TO expect
success, therefore in transpanting them,
some care must be taken in performing
the operation The following brief rules
may be some guide to those who have not
had any experience in setting out trees:
/. Never plant tree unless the ground
has been previously well pulverized and
broken fine. To plant trees in holes, as
too many persons do, is almost fatal TO
their future growth.
Q. Deep planting is one Of the creates,
errors in planting in this country, and pro-
bably more trees die from this cause than
all others; if they thrive fora year rtwo,
they soon Iangnish and die, apparently
without any cause. In cold, clayey soils,
this is frequently tho case. Avoid, by all
means, this error. The surface roots
should never DO more than two inches be-.
low the soil. ha
=. When the trees are all ready for
setting out, commence planting by taking
out the earth % the depth Of a foot 81
more, and Of width sufficient 10 admit all
the roots easily, without bonding or break
ing. If the soil Is naturally poor, some
very old and decayed manure may be
thrown into the bottom Of tho holes bel0w
tie roots; then FIJI in among the roots with
the earth, cnrichng il slightly with fine
compost
A. Before planting, prime The large roots
carefully with sharp knife, cutting Oh all
bruised or decaycd portions, shortening
such as are too long, and taking out
those where too much crowded; avoid in
juring or cutting of any Of the small fbres
). The most important rule 20 be on.
served in setting out trees, and one which
should never be lost sight Of, IS 10 I'll the

meeting was addressed by the Rev. Henry
Rufner, Professors Armstrong and Dab.
