and the south; but we believe that principles
are imperishable. We believe farther, that it
viii not be long before the freesoilers and the
south win have practical issue between them,
unless the national democrats Of New York
are sustained by the democracy of the country.
In this view, leaving abstract principles out Of
the question-leaving moral principles out of
the question-leaving gratitude out of the
questionable south, as matter of policy, is
bound to stand by the national democrats Of
New York in any Issue between them andthe
freesoilers. Such, an issue has been joined.

wonderful progress of the sciences regarding the
present century as presenting greater facilities
and inducements for investigating nature and ma.

holds to physiology; showing the necessity Of

A Strange Adventure.

Mr.. Redblossom drank rather more
than his usual allowance of hot rum, and
sugar, one cold night last week; the con-
sequence of which was, he gave his wife
a rather confused account of his conduct,
on his return home:
Mr.. Smiths grocery store invited me
to 60 and drink cousin Sam-and you
see, the wether was dry-and l was very
sloppy-so | said l didn't mind punching
one drink-and 'squeer how my head
went into the punch! The way home
was so dizzy that l slipped upon little
dog--the corner of the street hit me-and
an old gentleman with cropped ears and
a brass collar on his neck said he belon-
ged to the dog-and l was you under
stand-'ic-thst is, l don't know nothing
more about it!

once in four years. Well, this Wing has
for the last twenty years, it is said, held
the office Of Justice Of the Peace, in this
continuity, by sort of common consent.
But this year political excitement being
quite string, project was formed of turn
ing the Squire out of Office, and putting
in Democrat.
On the day Of election, the people as
sembled and the voting commenced
The election was held in an old distillery,
and the ballot box was large gourd.-
The opposing candidate was the owner
of the distillery; and there was whiskey
enough on the premises for them all to
swim in.
The Squire was early on the ground
to watch the proceedings He came on
the ground bare footed, and unincumber-
ed with any other garments than bis shirt
and pants.
After cycling the proceedings for some
time in silence, he rose up and told the
crowd that he wanted to make them a
speech. Agreed said they all. He
accordingly mounted whiskey barrel
and then commenced:
"Fellow Citizens: I've been looking on
here, and l see plainly what's going on
here. Fellow Citizens-I've been JUS
tice of the Peace here for the last twenty
years, and good many of you know that
I've saved you from goin' to the Peniten-
tiary, and now you are trying to turn me
out of office. But I just want to tell you
one thing-Ive got the Constitution and
Laws of the State of Tennessee, and just
as sure as you turn me out of Office, IH

you may all 60 to ruin together"
The effect Of this speech was tremen-
dous, and he was reelected by an over
whelming majority.

EgOtiSm.

Dream not, complacent, thoughtless man,
That heaven of thee takes special care,
Or swerves from its impartial plan
To give thy lot better share.
For full a thousand millions more,
The showers descend, the sunbeams smile
On each far continental shore.
Each lonely, sea-sequestered isle.
How vaster far the throng which saw
Our earth, since dawned her primal day,
Which fitted through the gates of awe,
In all the ages past away!
Dost deem thyself tn important one!
So thought each shadow gone before,
Each felt as, when its day was done
The earth and skies need stand no more.
Then simply spend the fceting years
That bear thee toward the waiting gloom
Content to share, with all thy peers,
The common hope beyond the tomb.

"Kiss Me Mamma, Do KiSS Me-"

The child was so sensitve-so like that
little, shrinking plant that curls up at
breath, and shuts It's heart from the light.
The only beauties she possessed were an
exceedingly transparent skin, and large,
mournful blue eyes.
l had been trained by very stern,
strict, conscientious mother; but | was q
hardy plant, rebouding after every shock.
Misfortune could not daunt, though dis
cipline tanned me. l fancied, alas, that
| must go through the same routine with
this delicate creature, and so one day,
when she had displeased me exceedingly
by repeating an offence, was determined
to punish her severely. l was very seri-
Gus all day, and on sending her to her
little couch, l said:
Now, my daughter, to punish you, and
to show you how very naughty you have
been, shall not kiss you tonight"
She stood looking at me, astonishment
personifed, with her great mournful eyes
wide open. 1 suppose she had forgotten
her misconduct till then, and 1 left her
with the big tears trickling down her
cheeks, and her lips quiyering.
Presently [ was sent for. "Oh, NAM
ma, will you kiss me? can't 90 to sleep
if you DON'T" she sobbed, every tone Of
her voice trembling; and she held out her
hand Now came the struggle between
love and what falsely termed duty
Mother can't kiss you, Ellen, I whis-
pered, though every word choked me-
Her hand touched mine; it was very hot,
but | attributed it to her excitement--
She then turned her grieved face to the
wall, and left the room for the night
1t might have been about twelve, when 1
was awakened BY the nurse. Apprehen-
sive, | ran to the child's chamber. Ellen
did not know me; she was sitting up,
crimsoned to the throat, her eyes SO bright
that almost drew back aghast at their
glance.
From that night raging fever drank
up her life-and what, think you, was the
incessant plant poured into my angushed
heart? "Oh, kiss me, mother-do kiss
me. Icont go to sleep You'll kiss your
little Ellon, won't you, mother! IcaHt
go to sleep.
Holy little child, she did go to sleep one
grey morning, never to wake again. Her
hand was locked in mine, and all my veins
icy with its gradual chill Family the
light faded in those beautiful eyes,
She never knew me, but with her last
breath she whispered, "Ill be good, moth
er, if you'll only kiss me-"
Kiss her God knows how passionate
but unavailing were my kisses upon her
cheek afer that fatal night. God knows
how wild were my prayers that she might
know, if but once, that kissed her. But
all in vain; she liesin the tomb, with little
urn at her head and rOse-bush at her feet
There grow the sweet summer flowers
there waves the gentle grass; there birds
sing their mathis and their vespers; and
there lies the freshness Of my heart.

In one of Col. Noland's recent letters
from Arkansas to the n. Y. Spirit of the
Times, occurs the following paragraph
heard bard yarn on an Old topper the

and liquor and almost froze for drink.
Some mischievous fellow agreed to fur
nish him liquor if he would open his mouth
and swallow small blacksnake that one
of them had picked up; it was hard un-
dertaking, but he "cravcd LIQUOR" and
consented; open went his mouth and down
went the snake and sicker man never
was known. He swallowed the liquor,
and now twas the snakes turn to be sick
out he poped, the same road he went in
at, and in all probability is still running.
A gentleman who resided in the mines in
California, declared to me that he knew
