Kissing.

A lady friend has transmitted to us tbt
following "opinohs of the press" upor
this interesting subject;
KISSING Jacob kissed Rachel, and
lifted his voice and wept.-scripture.
If Rachel was pretty girl, and kept
her face clean, we can't see what jacob
had to cry about.-N. Y. Globe.
How do you know but tina, she slapped
his face for Hmm. 0. Delta.
Weeping is not unfrequently produced
BY extreme pleasure, joy, happiness-it
might have been so in Jacobs case
Wing.
Gentlemen, hold your tongues; the
cause OF Jacobs weeping was the refusal
of Rachel to allow him to kiss her again.
Ia, lor Flag.
1t is our opinion that Jacob wept be-
cause he had not kissed Rachel lore,
and he wept for the time he had lost
Age.
Green verdapt, all Of We. The fellow
wept because the gal didn't kiss him.
Manchester American.
Nonsense, Jacob wept because Rachel
told him TO do it twice MORE, and be
was afraid to.--Demoerat and Freeman.
Ridiculous there is not true Yankee
among you. We guess jacob cried be-
cause Rachel threatened 10 tell her marin.
Seneca Union.
There you are wrong again; he wept
because there was only one Rachel to
kiss.-Rulland Herald
Oh, you get out He wept for JOY be-
cause it tasted so good.-Mail.
We reckon Jacob cried because Rachel
had been eating onions.-OP-
Our own opinion is that Jacob wept be-
cause he found, after all, sit was not halt
what it was cracked up TO be."-Rich-
mohi Wing.
Pretty scriptural commentators, ell of
ye! Jacob was puzzled to weeping at
how TO compound a re bus on the essence
of tulips, when Rachel's lips had no miss
terous smack in them.-South Side Dem.

POETRY.
OUR BABY,

W SA
At our house, at home, we've sweet little baby
As fat coon in the fall
And for mischief, fun, music, whatever it may b.
Of brats, he's the general of all
With cheeks like two roses
The prettest Of noses
Endeared is our Moses,
BY every fond tie
in fair and foul weather,
lie serves a tcther.
To bind us together--
b1y Betsey and l.
From morning, full blossomed, till night draws her
curtain, .-.
His means for en- ploynent ncer fail;
And though hushed be his gable Of musis, we're
certain
When he drags the old cat by the tail.
Now calling, and baw.ng
And falling, and sprawlng,
And hauling, and squaing,
At work and at play;
In the dish-water padding,
Or Jowler pack adding,
Or about iddc-faddling,
lie passes the day.
Tho his third year is ended the present September
He's equal to any at five, u,
At two, he could ''put oil is we'll remember,
AZ sne best f.shouider striker alive;
In consideration
OF his qualification,
I'm in contemplation
OF placing where
All the Ms Duncans
And all the Mrs Flunkns
VIII say he's ''some punkins--
And that is"THE FAIR"
There's nought that escapes his minute inspection,
Displayed on the toy sellers board
And he helps himself, too, without fea: of detection
To the incest the pantry affords.
Hes just in condition
To meet competition
Al the grand exhibition
The rogue, with TIVE eye. !!
There's one thing-depend ont;
To make quick end ont,
If he can lay hand ont,
He sHre kakes the ptise.

The Detailed Vote for spea ker.

The Detailed Vote for Speaker.
We give below detailed view. Of the
votes cast for Spesker under the plurality
rule. 1t will be observed that not one
single Northtth Know Nothing voted for
Aiken, aI;h cough he was not an admins
tration candidate. Among the votes for
Banks, there are many who wett elected
as Know Nothings-in fact, nearly all,
including Banks hImsel! Mr.. Banks GALL
ed himself Democrat in the last Con-
gress. But finding that the policy OF that
party was national, and tina, the o-ganiza-
lion of Know Noihngs was better cdlcu.
lated to carry out the reasonable design
of abolition;sm, he identified himself with
it. and hence is very cleserl5 and mildly
alluded to by the True American Of this
place, as democratic Freesoil Know

difference, and our neighbor can fight un-
der either name. The people understand

ton OF .he New York Herald, from which

greater dash than Champion, the British
Minister. o. course he is seldom seen ex-
cept in the street, when he gives his ems

is distinguished from all others by its ex-

his open barouche, pair of spanking
greys, mounts the divers seat holds the
ribbonds himself, and drives fuliously
around the broad avenues, his ioo!man, a
