Kisssne.

Squire, you are older than l. and ! sup
pose you will think oil THE sort Of thing 10
clear sheer nonsense, but depend upon Il,
kiss 10 great mystery. There 10 many
thing we know we can't explain, still We
are sure il 10 q fact for all that. Why
should there be sort of magic in shaking
hands, which seems only a mere form, and
sometimes painful one too; for some folks
ring your fingers of. almost, and max
you fairly dance with pain, they hurt you
40. II seems only . custom like bowling,
and nothing else; still there is more in It
than meets the eye. But kiss fairly
electri6es you; ir warns your blood and sets
your heart TO beatin' lake bass drum. and
makes your eyes twinkle like stars on fros.
" night. Itain't thing 10 be forgot. No
language can expresSit, no letters will give
the sound. Then, what in nature 10 equal
TO the flavor Of il. What an aroma it has!
Il amt gross, for you can't feed on IT, II
don't cloy, for the palate amt required to
test its taste. ltis neither visible nor tan
gible, not portable. nor transferable. II is
not substance, nor liquid, nor a vapor.-
Il has neither color nor form. Imagination
can't conceive it. II can't be initiated nor
forged. II is confined to no cline or coun-
try, but is ubiquitous.
1t il disembodied when compelled, but
instantly reproduced and 90 10 immortal
Il il as old as the creation, and yet is as
Young and fresh as ever. 1t pre-existed d,
still exists aud always exists. II pervades
| all nature. The breeze as it passes kisses
the rose, and the pendant vine stocps down
and hides with its tendrils its bushes, as ],
kisses the limpid stream that waits in an
eddy to meet il, and raises it's tiny waves
| like anxions lips to receive it. Depend
upon il Eve learned it in paradise and was
| taught its beauties, virtues and variety BY
an angel, there is something so transcen.
dant in it, How it is adapted to all cir
cumstances. There is the kiss Of welcome
and Of parting, the long. lingering. loving,
present one. the stolen or the mutual one.
the kiss of love. JOY, and of sorrow, the scale
of promise, and the receipt OF fulillment =
Is it strange, therefore, that a woman is
| invncible whose armory consists OF kisses,
smiles and tearsi Is il any wonder thar
poor old Adam was first tempted and then
ruined! 1t is very easy for preachers TO get
up with long faces and tell us that he ought
to have been more of man. My opinion
is II he had been less OF man il would have
been better for him. But am not agoin' to
preach; so will get back to my story; but,
/ Squire, shall always maintain TO my dying
day. that kissingis q sublime mystery

USES OF THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
Courtship and Matrimonial Engagement
made By Electricity.-Perhaps the most now
ell use to which the telegraph has been put
is that which has come under our notice,
and which 10 as follows:
Some months since q young gentleman
Of this city entered the Morse Telegraph
office, and requested to be instructed in such
of the mysteries OF ,elegraphery rs the OPP
orator could or would inform him--such as
would not interfere with the secrets Of the
office. The obiiging operator proceeded to
do so, and in the course of his instructions
explained TO the Freshman the mody op.-
at one Of the stations west of this city, in
quite a small but enterprising village, fe-
male, the schoolmistress Of the village, is
the operator at the telegraph station.
While the operator in this city was go
ing through his explanations, the Of
fee called Albany, and made business in
auiry, to which an answer was retained by
the Albany operator, who in professional
manner enquired the name OF the anxious
inquirer, and sent it, with the gen,lemun's
compliments, 10 the office. (Which
the female had charge Off Miss C,
we mean the operator, replied. returning
her com pliments, and gave the state of the
weather, &c. at -. The gentleman
was immensely delighted with the idea OF
interroga.ing person. and that person fe-
male, one hundred and fifty miles distant,
| and through the kindness OF the operator ad.
! dressed several Undergraduates to her, " hich
were snsweredin a most gratifying manner
I The novice in telegraphing was delighted
not TO say enchanted. He called agail the
next day, and persuaded the operator to a.
| gain sum mon the Office. Again did
! he enjoy most delightful tete-a-te,e-
/ think Of tete-a-te,e one hundred and fifty
miles removed!-with his charming incoe-
! nita, or we should say, inamorata, for the
I novice was ali-absorbed in Miss c., as
4 the sequel will prove. For several day.
I did he call and hold conyere with the -
Office and it's very obliging operator, each
day becoming more and more intereste ed -
| The subject Of the discourse too was mate
rally changed. insomuch that the Albany
! operator began TO feel in rather a peculiar
predcameni, he being sort Of medium
through which two lovers were holding com
munication. To be brief. the novice con-
tinued 10 call for space OF two weeks,
each day growing more interested, until Re
put the question direct and plump, "Wiil
you marry mel" The telegrs ph never hes.
itatcs; il lie fast institution, and those who
are connected with il become EAST" az If

the novice, a few days since, went 10 -,
claimed his bride. and was married. The
parties are now residents of this city--Ai-

Eastern CURRENCY COMING WEsT.-
The New York papers state that the de-
mand from the West for currency for the
purpose Of moving the crops is large. -
Very large amounts of the notes of the
New England banks have been arranged
for aud taken West in the place Of coin.
This operation has enabled these ins,i,u.
tions to put out again the circulation which
was driven in during the general bank con-
traction OF last winter. In consequence nj.
so Of these supplies of currency, the balan.
ces of Western banks and bankers on New
York have not been drawn down as was
anticipated, but on the contrary are in
creasing. II would appear now that the
crops would be sent forward without serious
" disturbing the present momentary posi-
ton Of the East and West. Exchange a,
Cincinnati on New York is down to par
ard IA premium, and in this CRY 10 worth

JUMPED FROM THE cARs.-The Lockport
Courier SAYS that two Germans who had
purchased tickets for Spencerpcrt, got
aboard Of the express train at Rochester on
Wednesday morning. Conductor ToMLIS-
son informed them that the train did not
stop, and that they must 60 to the next sta
ton; but when the train passed Spencerpors
and while going at the rate Of forty miles
an hour, they both jumped off. The train
was backed W, and it was found that one OF
them had received injuries which will
doubtless prove fatal, while the other did
not appear previously hurt! Both Of the
men were thrown some six or eigh. rods in
the direction the train was going.

INDIANA BANKING Indiana banking 10 a
delightful pursuit. An Indiana paper, the
Madison Courier ,thus describes one of its
interesting features: "The stockholders CT
the new Indiana State Bank with branches
are the only legitimate "know Nothings' in
this State. No one unacquainted with the
pass words and g fps of this new bank or
der can obtain dollar OF the stock. We
learn that the initiated are allowed to de-
posite any article-old silver, brass, or even
old clothes a. basis for the issues OF bauk
notes.

A considerable number Of enterprising
and intelligent men have recently removed
from Davenport and taken up their resi-
dence in this city, in consequence OF the
more lbersl laws Of our State. They are
mostly business men, who have capital OF
their own, and will add much to the bust
ness of our city. We are glad to see them
here and hope they will find our city pleas
ant and profitable place of residence.-Rocs
Island Republican.
The above, we are free to consess, is true.
The laws Of Iowa will not permit them to
sell whiskey and consequently they have de-
parted for Rock Island. Their capital is
invested in liquors and the business they add
to that city will be chiefly in the police
line

The Currency.

The signs of the times in monetary mat
tiers augur another panic ahead. This time
the Georgia issues appear to be the class
of currency aimed at BY the panic makers.
The Chicago Tribune says
THE poin, 10 not yet reached to which
bills on New York will come down. The
run on Atlanta 10 made Tor the pur pose of
informed that il will not be discontinued
until that necessary commodity is freely
sold at one half Of one per cent. premium.
Then Georgia money, in that event, will be
no more profitable to it, makers than q reg
ulsr and legitimate banking business in IL
hnois. giving security for the safety of the
bill holders and the redemption Of their
issues.
II is rumored, bu, we will not youch for
the truth of wha, we hear, that there is a
combustion among the railroad Offices TO
throw out oil currency that will not buy ex.
change at the same rates for which it can
| be purchased with the notes Of specie pay
| ing Illinois banks. The directors of the
companies find that they are paying too
heavy tax for the privilege of using Mr..
! Smiths dcpreciating paper-a discovery
| that ought to have been been made long
ago, by them as well as all others who han
die large sums of money.
We will endcavor to keep our commercial
readers posted up in the new Developments
that are taking place in the monetary at.
fairs of our city. Among other matters OF
interest, We have history Of Georgia
Bank, by an amateur in the historical wri-
ting, tina. will some day see the light. We
need not say it opens new chapter 10 f.
nancisi operations, compared with " hich the
wild-cstting in Michigan in 1886, is tame
and uninteresting."
