KrSs1NG.--IIardly any two females kiss
alike. There is as much variety in the
manner of doing it, as in the faces and
manners of the sex. Some delicate little
creatures merely give a slight brush oI
the lip. This is sad aggravation. We
seem to be about to 'have good time,
but actually get nothing. Others go into
us like hungry man into beef steak,
and seem to chew up our countenances.--
This is disgusting, and soon drives away
delicate lover. Others struggle like
hens when burying themselves in the dry
dirt. The kiss is won by great cxertions,
and is not worth as much as the trouble
it costs. Now, we are in favor of cer-
tain shyness when kiss is proposed, but
it should not be continued too long and,
when the fair one gives in let her ad.
minister the kiss with warmth and energy.
Let there be soul in it. If she close her
eyes, and sigh deeply Immediately after
it, the effect is greater. She should be
careful not to 'slobber a kiss, but give it
as a humming bird runs his bill into a
honey.sucklc, deep but delicately. There
is much virtue in kiss when well deliv.

SILVER MINES IN TAMBoosA-GREAT
ExCITEMENT.-We learn from the Dade.
vile, Florida Banner, that that country
is now realizing one Of those excitements
produced by the discovery OF precious
metals in large quantities, to which she
has occasionally been subject for many
years, that bids fair to equal any of its
predecessors in intensity, and probably
with juster causes. 1t has been known
for several years, that silver existed in
large quantities in the south western por.
ton Of the country, or rather south west
of this place, in the neighborhood of Blue
Creek, aud between there and Tallahas.
see Falls, but they have heretofore been
unable to do what they seem now to have
accomplished to complete success, dis
covered means by which they are ena-
bled to seperate the silver from the ore
and other metals with which II was mixed.
BY this process, we learn that a com.
pany the other day extracted in very
short time sixteen pounds OF pure metal,
which set the country in rage.

Useful Hints on lIatrimony.


No woman will be likely to dispute with
US when we assert that marriage is her
destiny. A man may possibly fill some
sort Of an existence without loving; but
woman with rothing to love, cherish,
care for and minister to, is an anomaly in
the universe an cxistancc without an OBJ
ject. 1t is as natural for a woman to have
some one to look to for advice and assist
ence, as to breathe. Without it, no wo-
man ever was or ever can be happy. 1t
is the want Of her nature, and nothing
can satisfy her heart with such a void un.
filed. Now with the exception of some
occasional irregularities in the relative
proportion of the sexes, produced by cir
cumstances, such as the settlement of
new countries, there is no reason why ey-
cry man should not have a wife, and eve
ry woman husband, and this would ca
silly be brought about by the exercise of
common sense, and less ambition. Each
sex is looking up for something above its
own sphere. The son of an industrious
and successful mechanic must be pro-
fessional man, instead of following in his
fathers steps; and this is folly the first.
When he looks for wife, the neat in
dustrious daughter of mechanic like his
father, is not good enough for him, he
must make love to some fine lady, who is
an age in advance--that is her grand faith
err was mechanic instead of her father, a
very aristocratic distinction. On the 9th
er hand, the girl who works for her living,
earning it by honest labor, would not de.
sign to encourage the addresses of la.
boring man she would set her cap for a
gentleman, forsooth. The mechanic S
daughter educated on her fathers earn
ings to be a set of fops, and daughters
who drive honest men away in disgust and
then becomes the victim of some sorry
sharper or shallow fool. Now, this is
wrong--deplorably, wretchedly wrong
Girls should know that men superior to
themselves in education and position do
not always associate with them for good
Men should know that by marrying girls
educated in the habits above their fortunes
they are not likely to have good wives
A little sound sense will enable any man
to see it is better to have & wife grateful
for more than she can expect, than grum'
bling fortune; but horrible, jolting work
to come down.--Home Companion.

A STORY of CIRCUMsTANTIAL EvI-
DENCE.-Some years ago, went espe.
cially to CIommell Assizes, and accident
ally witnessed a trial which l never shall
forget. A wretched man, native of that
county, was charged with the murder Of
his neighbor. 1t seemed that an ancient
feud existed between them. They had
met at fair and exchanged blows: again
that evening they met at a low pot-house,
and the bodily interference offriends alone
prevented fight between them. The
prisoner was heard to VOW vengeance a.
gainst his rival. The wretched victim left
the house, followed soon afterby the pris-
oner, and was found next day on the
roadside, murdered, and his face so bar
barously beaten in by stone, that he
could only be identified by his Dress
The facts were strong against the prison
er; in fact, it was the strongest case of
circumstantial evidence | ever met with.
As a form-of his guilt there was no
doubt-the prisoner was called for his de.
fence. He called, to the surprise of eve
ry one, the murdered man. And the mur.
dered man came forward. ItseemCd that
another man had been murdered-the
Identification by dress was vague, for all
the peasantry Of Tipperary wear the same
description of clothes-that the presumed
victim had got hint that he would be
arrested under the White Boy Act-had
fled, and only returned with noble Irish
feeling of justice, when he found that his
ancient foe was in jeopardy hisaccount,
the case was clear; the prisoner was in
nocent. The Judge told the jury it was
unnecessary to charge them. They re-
quested permission to retire: they return
ed in about two hours, when the foreman,
with long face, handed him the verdict
of "guilty. Every one was astonished.
Good God !" said the Judge, "of what
is he guilty? Notof murder, surely. :
"Nos my lord,' said the foreman, but if
he did not murder that man, he stole my

The worthy woman now realized that
such woe was altogether out Of her depth,
and that she could not possibly fish up

the bereaved Jones to wallow alone thor

prcvalence-a settled question ceded by
all parties by unanimous consent.

Like a broad and brimming ocean.
IIymning forth deep devotion;
Like rush Of angel-wings
Is the beauty morning brings
From her portals Of red fire!
What banner she unfurlsl
What flood Of flaming pcarlsl
As a doc that's fair and fleet,
She is coming, higher, higher.
Now I rise and rush to meet her;
Now my soul is up to greet her;
Down the bastiOns Of the sky,
See her crimson crimson banners fly,
Where her morning drums arc beating
Der my soul her music rolls,
Like chamtcd psalms for happy souls,
And stand in golden frances,
Pierced by all her starry lanceS
In my bosom Sweetly meeting.
AS dream, the raven night
Has passed from out my burning sight
And round the world a burning zone
Is leaping from royal throne,
And rolls along in silver waves.
How the rich and kingly Light
Is making conquest Of the night!
And plants his flag on every mountain,
In every breeze, by every fountain,
And o'er thousand starry graves!
An Eastern Prithcc, he comes to greet
Hesperian lands, with jewelled feet,
And floats DER earth and DER sea,
Triumphant in his argOsy,
With a swoop Of silver oars.
The moonlight wings her mellow ray
Apart from out the realms Of day,
And stars flock the vaulted dome
Are baniShed from their throne,
And Light usurps their lofty towers.
A ConqucrOr now, he spreads his tent
Of crimson DER the armament,
And with a thousand flags unfurlcd
Proclaims the conquest of world,
That, as king, he dowcrs!

A BEREAVEMENT.

DIED-At Salem, May 18th, CoRNELrA, Daughter
Iof MARIus r. AND EMLY ROBINSON, aged fifteen
and a half years.
Dear friends,--readers Of the Bugle,-we have
neglected you these three weeks past, as we must
also this week. In the sad announcement above,
you have our reason. During these three weeks,
by day and by night, we have watched the struggle
Of life and death for the possession of our cherished
frstborn. But it is over now. And Death as at
some hour ere long he will do with you and me,
has borne of as his trophy, our loving and loved
one. Arrayed in the habiliments of the grave, her
mortal lies before us rs We write. Her life was
short. But IL was crowded with faithful, loving,
and conscientious fulflment Of the every day
duties of her childhood and youth, and with this
best Of preparations for the future her spirit is at
rest And to-day she better than all the living,
answer that question which she propounded yoster-
day, as she exclaimed, That better land! o!
mother, what shall I do in hat better land!,
All, DEAR CoRA, whatever else thou dost, thoult
love and thout "do" for others, for It's Myselc so
to do. And so loving and doing we know thou
art blest. And therefore, though our tears fall
like rain, and our home, and all hearts at our
home are desolate, we do not repine-we would
not recall thee
Her benevolencc, which was large, was always
active for the slave and her strong sense Of justice
often most strongly aroused her indignation against
his oppressor. And even she, poor child, may
truly be said to have died another victim of the
accursed system. None but the Omniscient can
tell how many nnocents, beside the actual bond
slaves, die its victims. The circumstances which
attended her birth, induced directly by slavery,
gaveher an impaired constitution while to other cir
cumstances with the like connection, we can direct
ly trace her death. We therefore number ourself
and our broken family among those whom slavery
has bercaved, and while one strong cord that
bound us to life, is broken, a new bond is formed
that binds us to the slave. In labors for his re-
demption, we will try to assuage our great sorrow
And as we strike such blows as we may against
oppression, our arm shall be nerved by tho remem-
brance OF her departing sutferngs, by the young
sorrows Of her loneet sister, by the bitter grief
OF her heartstricken mother, and by all the sorrow
OF our own bereavement. We will learn tho bet
ter thus, sympathizingly to remember--the more
thoroughly to identify ourself, with those thous-
ands, who are daily robbed Of all that makes life
joyous or even endurable, and then murdered bv
wholesale. The clear sense Of Justice of our
guileless child, has often encouraged and directed
us in our past anti-slayery labors, and her death
shall do the same.
But we must stop. Our heart is too full to per-
NIT us to write.

THE NEBRASKA BILL IN THE HOUSE

On Tuesday of last week the battle on this great
question began in earnest in the House Of Repre-.
sentatiyes, its friends urging IL to an immediate
vote, and the opponents endeavoring to stavc it off
and gain time. The question was on Mr.. Richard.
sons motion to close the debate ON Friday. The
House continued in session from Thursday fore.
noon till half past eleven o'clock on Friday night
when tho Nebraskaites caved in, and the House
adjourned till Monday. On Monday the same
battle was renewed and in the same form. II was
war of parliamentary tactics, waged by the mi.
ncrity. 1t consisted of innumerablc motions to
adjourn with calls of the roll and questions Of
order interspersed with some occasional refreshing
specimens Of Southern bullying. The minority
are struggling for free discussion. The majority
are determined to gag them, as slaveocrats always
do. Indeed, almost every contest that has been
had with slavery has been one for free utterance.
We publish part Of the discussion at the close
of the long session, as specimen Of the whole.
