THE ENGLISH PRESS AND THE EASTERN WAR
The difficulties already encountered by the "aes from
the invasion of Russian territory have caused the British
journals to open their eyes to the real character of this
war; and wrought decided change their ideas concern
ing the Russian power of resistance A SPEEDY con-
quest not easy matter Nothing decisive
has yet been accomplished although there has long been
arryed against the adversary by far the most formidable

Northern Times Engands army recently been rein

twenty-five thousand But this force is inadequate to
maintain possession Of any conquest made in the East
against the power of the Russians and of this English
press at least being convinced Hence their present en-
deavors to their government to far greater effort In
article upon this subject the London Times declares its
convictions as follows:
We require allied army of 200 men in the Ea

favorable cooring to the position really in

loyalty and patriotism of colonsts Recruits must be OBJ

Old Line National WhigS.

All over the Union. there are thou
sands of National Wings; who will not
surrender to :he abolitionists and Free
soilers. Even in the city of Boston a
meeting of this kind has recently been
held. The great commercial interest
has every thing to lose by the creation
of great Northern sectional party, So
much desired by Greely and his adhersnts
Such party will tend to stop intercourse
between the North aud South. and go
far to PROSTATE the present commercisl
prospect of the country. in taking a
calm and dispassionate view of the sub
ject, men interested in reciprocal trade
between all sections of the country. SEE
what utter folly il is 10 follow in the
lead of those Who have no settled pur-
pose III view, lift be not dissolution
of our glorious Union. We have receiv-
ed several hundreds of Wing subscribers
TO our paper. who are not willing that
their ancient and honorable party sho'd
become abolitioniZed, and who bid us
God speed in our war against all section
al issues. and who are the true followers
of Washington, on this question.

klNyING.

Hardly any two females kiss alike
There is as much variety in the manner
Of doing it, as in the face aud manner
of the sex. Some delicate creatures on
ly give slight brush of the lip. This
is sad aggravation. We seem to be-
about TO have a good time, but actually
get nothing. Others go into us like a
hungry man TO beef steak, and seem TO
chew up our conntcnances. This is diss
gusting. and soon drives away delicate
lover Others struggle like hens when
burying themselves III dry dirt-the kiss
is won by great exertions, and is not
worth TO US the trouble it costs. Now.
we are in favor of certain shyness when
a kiss is proposed; this should not be
continued too long. AMI when the fair
one gives in.' let her administer the Hiss
with warmth and energy. Let there be
soul in it. IL she closes her eyes aud
sighs deeply after it. the effect is greater.
she should be careful not to 'slobber' a
kiss. but give tas the hummingbird runs
his bill into honey suckle--deep. but
delicately. There is much virtue in a
kiss when we'll delivered. We have lad
the memory of one we received in our
youth to last us forty years. and we be-
lieve it will be the last thing we think
of when we die.--Erchange.

A Doc SroRY:-Cat stories and dog sto-
ries' are getting 10 bo very common in
these days. Almost every editor has q
few by way of sp ice. So we pu. in for
our turn. Being in a butchers shop n few
days since and seeing loge dog come in to
get his daily allowance Of meat tho con-
versation turned upon dogs. and The fol-
lowing story wus told in relation TO q dog
in The neighborhood. Tho name of the
owner oftho dog we havo forgotten, bu,
that isno matter, the story is just as good.
This gentleman gave cent to the dog ev-
cry day, and the dog went regularly 10 The
butchers and laid down the money, and in
return received n piece of meat. One
day the dog laid down his cent on the
block as usual The butcher being busy
with customers did not notice tho deposit.
After some time, however, seeing n cent lie
there he put i, in his pocket and went about
his work The dog got tired Of waiting and
went homo dinnerless. The next day he
came again with another cent. which he
laid before the man of ment. Tho allowance
of meat was cut of and handed to the ca
nine purchaser But tho dog. intending
to have the account balanced. no sooner
had received tho meat than he grabbed The
cent also and cleared out.
That was sharp dog, and one that in
tended to look out for number one. He
could be trusted to make a bargain, aud,
we dare say, could carry on n speculation
in prov isions, quite as woll as some ours
who do not number but hall bis an,oun, of
lugs:-- Olive Branch.
