Sentiments worth "a PerusaI.

Affection, like spring flowers, breaks through
the most frozen ground at last; and the heart
which seeks but for another heart, to make happy,
will never seek in vain, sf
Harmless mirth is the best codial against the
consumption of the spirits; wherefore, jcsting is
not unlawful, if it trespasseth not in quantity,
quality, or season.
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil,
when uncsltivated shoots up into the rankest
weeds; and instead of vines and olives for the use
of man, produces to its sloth(ul owner the most
abundant crop of poison.
We seldom resort to authorities in support of our
opinions, not because we think ourselves wiser
than others, but we never met writer who did
not in the course of his reasonings, furnish argu.
ments in support of two entirely opposite opn
ions.
The Immortality of the age is a standing com
plant with some men. Butt any one likes to be
moral, we can see nothing in the age to preven
him,

LUXURIOUS KISSING DEscRBED.-Almost any
writer can describe emotions of joy, anger, fear,
doubt or hope; but there are very few who can
give anything like an adequate description of the
exquisite, heavenly, and thrilling joy of warm,
affectionate kissing. We copy below, three Of
the best attempts that we have ever seen. The
first is by young lady during her first year of
courtship:
"Let thy arm twine
-.... Around me like a zone Of love,
And thy fond lip, so soft .-. .-
To mine be passonately pressed,
As Il has been SO off,
The next is by lady shortly after her engage
ment. twill readily be seen that her powers
of description are far in advance Of the one quo
tod above:
Place thy dear arm beneath my dropping head,
And let lowly nestle on thy heart,
Tnen turn those soul-lit orbs me-, and press
fs My parting lips to taste the ecstacy
Impaired by each long and lingering kiss!'
But the best thing we have seen is the follow
ing by Alexander Smith. We think however,
that when a man 80 freely indulges in oscuatry
nectar as to imagine he is walking on thrones, he
should be choked off Hear him:
"My soul leaped up beneath thy timd kiss,
What then to me were groans,
Or pain, or death? Earth was round OF bliss,
-,r seemed to walk on thrones!' o..

AN INCIDENT 1T THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.-A
letter from Washington, in the Petersburg Dem
ocrat, says the following incident occurred at the
Navy Department, on the 4th inst:
A young and accomplished lady was to see the
Secretary relative to some suspicious which hung
over the legality of her recent marriage with a
lieutenant in the Naval service. She states that
some months since she was conducted to house
in this city, and there married to her supposed
husband, by person ostensibly an Episcopal
clergyman-that rings were exchanged, and for
a short time they lived together, when he was
suddenly called off to the Pacific. Doubts have
been raised as to the legality of the marriage,
and she entertains dark suspicion that there
has been an imposition practiced upon her. I'm
mediately on hearing the lady's narrative, Secre-
tary Dobbin, with that energy and uprightness of
character for which heis justly distinguished, per-
emptorelly ordered the Lieutenant to report, in
person to him, at as early period as possible;
declaring, with emphasis that if it did turn out to
be true that he had practiced fraud upon the
poor gifl, his name should be stricken at once
from the roll of the Navy.
