Nature a Republican.

s. One of the most racT progressive speech
es at The N Y. Kossuth banquet. was de-
iiyered by Rev. E. H Chaplin. The follow
ing is an extract: s.z....
Nature is a repub;ican-fer, sir, what
are these new forces, steam and electricity,
that have changed the face of the whole
world, and ierked the nineteenth century
further ahead than ages before what are
these bat powers that are living. and forcing
the world On foa nobler deatiny p What
are these but efisacious principles, but tile
ianitors Of classes, and the servants Of COM
mon men who. have become powerful? !?
Does not the poor man to-da ride upon cars
such as never waited upon kings, OF drove
the wheels offriumpbai cbariots-does he
not yoke the lightning aid touch the mag
netic nerves of the world The steam sen-
sgine is democrat. Tremendous cheers
It is popular heart that throbs in its iron
pulses, while the electric telegraph writes
upon the walls Of despotism, Meme, meme,
tekrl mphars;n There is process going
ON in the ply ysical world. The old Saurian
forms Of past ages are crumbling and break
ing up old landmarks And sir, they will
turn over the Metsernicbs and Nicholases
of Europe and convert the Josephs into fos-
sils, [Great cheering.] I can only say,
then, that not only all the moral principles
of the age, but all the hysicai principles Of
the time are acting in behalf Of freedom;
and closing in the woids Of the poet, will
say 10 our guest to>nigh:
Live and take comfort,
There are powers will work for thee,
Air, earth and skies t.55s.:ss5
There is not breathing common thing
That will forget thee 5ssssSs

The stolen Kiss.

My Ned, did you ever seal kiss from
ab@autiful girl, IN some unguarded moment,
when she was totally unconscious Of the
close proximity q your lips 10 her own, un-.
Ill The treasure was pilfered, and past re-
dempfion?
II 90 then Hsten 10 me. and will give
yuu al account of biz Of fnn 10 that line
when was at he mature age Of fourteen.
At the district school where attended there
wasa little blonde, ctassmate of mine.
whose roguish sye and dimpied cheek play
cd the mischief with my studies.
Every day, after school was dismissed, I.
gallanted Kate B-to her home; and
when there was snow upon the ground, I
alway : insisted on her taking seat on my.
sled. while e proud Of my load Of loyeliness,
!. would draw her up the steep bill 10 her
home. The other boys. envious oT Kate,s
selecting me As her champion, seemed de-
tern,ined to ridicule us 10 the extent Of their
power; and when Kate and and / were on
our way 70 school, our appearance on the
play ground was tho signal for a perfect
broadside Of raillery. IS.
There comes Kate and her beau. says
one- S.
ssH4lloe, lack, why don't yon lock arms
with your sweetheart I"
oh. they ain engaged yet, answered
another.
And poor Kate would run blushing into
The school room. and i would then propose
some play TO turn the conversation.
The intimacy between US grew stronger
day By day.,intil / used to call at her house
for nothing else but to hear her sweet laugh,
and talk untills MAS time for nae to leave.
One fine summer evening, T thought |
would walk up to Kate's and find out what
she thought Of small ring that IIad sent
10 her the day before by an archin that had
hired, as had not the courage to give it to
her myself. AS I neercd the house, saw
Kate reclining on q small lounge, that had
beenanoped from the sitting room into the
open rerandah. Her father was reading a
paper, and smoking q large pipe, with his
feet placed ON an old chest That stood in
the corner Of the kitchen; and her mother
sat ID the rocking chair with her knitting
wo1k In hand, while to complete the group,
nonsirous mastif dog lay under the ia.
Bile asleep. crept softly up to the lounge
where she was, without being discovered. =
she was gazing through the lattice work at
the moon and humming fayorite song Of
mine. Heavens! how beautiful she looked.
ssI,ll kiss her if 1 have TO swing for it,
said to myself, while the. blood rnshed
through nv veins ike red hot lava, and my
breath grew quick and hurfied. &
pressed nearer 70 her, and stood near

Talking Of humbr gs-.he most desperate and bare
faced Of the present time is that attempted to be
palmed of upon the people Of the State by the late
WhiR Convention, to submit the question Of Con-
vention no Convention to the people. A majority
either way would effect nothing Whatever. The ques-
ton is legislative one, and ,wohrds of both hou-
ses Of the General Assembly must sanction it. before
Convention can be called. The people in 1885 said
that wo-hrds Of their representatives alone should
possess the power to call Convention, maj Gritty
against it would stop amend0ents by Legislative
enactdsent il the people desired them, nor would a

The high prices of Provisions are topic Of remark
in the papers from Maine Georgia. The cause OF the
exobant prices is thought to be the scarcity Of food
for ca.,e horses. and other domestic animals. arising
from the drought of the last sunner the severity Of
the winter and the continued duration Of the cold
weather in spring. As soon as the grass shall have
attained a uxurant growth say in month hence, 1t
is thought that prices will materially fall.
