The First Kiss.


These is exceeding grace of expression and del
icacy Of sentiment in Ny First Kiss" whiel
Miss P. Knox contributes to the Boston Post:
Nay, ask me not how l could bring
My lips to rest on Manhood's brow,
A maiden may not lightly fling
Her timid nature of'-and thou,
Caressed Us thou art wont to be,
What were q kiss of mino to theei
And thou wouldst think that had pressed
Another check as soon as thine,
Should l allow my lips to rest
Gwen lightly, as on hallowed shrine
Tho trembling lips of devotee,)
On thine, as pledge of love to thee.
But then some words of gentle sound
Wero whispered to the maiden's heart
She could not bear his love to wound
The hour had come when they must part;
And she was young, and fond and true;
What could the gentle maiden dol
The spell is broSon--she has laid
Her trembling lips against his cheek;
On hers there is deeper shade
Of crimson, but she does not speak;
Her voice is hushed-her voice is still
'Tis given half without her will
~~~~N~cOOO~-NN-NN-~~~~
A Brown Study
sat me down in thought profound
This maxim wise drew
l'seasier far to like girl,
Than make girl like you
But after all don't believe
My heart will break with WOO;
fishes inclined to love "that chap"
Why, bless her, lether gol
Why, bless her, let her gol

JoHN BUNYAN's FLUTE.-The flute with
which John Bunyan beguiled the tedious
ness of his captive hours, is now in the pos
session of Mr.. Howells, tailor, Gainsboro.'-
In appearance it does not look unlike the
log of stool-out Of which it is said that
Bunyan, while in prison, manufactured it,
When the turnkey, attracted by the sound
Of music, entered his. cell to ascer tain, il
possible, the cause of the harmony, the flute
was replaced in the stool, and by this means
detection was avoided.

II is to the virtues and errors Of our con-
versation and ordinary department we owe
both our enemies and our friends, our good
or bad character abroad, our domestic peace
OF troubles, and in a high degree the I'M
proyement and deprivation OF our minds.
M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1856-06-19

A man may think well, and yet not act
wisely. The power to see what is right
is very different from the power Of doing it.
A man Of moral energy will accom- plisb
more with little knwIedge, than man of
inferior, will with much. and strength ac-
quiredb struggling with difficulties in early
life.

The convention Of delegates assembled in

Of the United States, without regard to past
political differences or divisions, who are OPP
posed to the repeal Of the Missouri compro-
mise to the policy Of the present Admin
istratI1n to the extension of slavery into

Kansas ~ II free state, of restoring the ac-
tion Of the Federal Government to the prin-

the purpose Of presenting candidates for the
Offices Of President and Wee President, do
resolve as follows
ReSoir'd. That the maintenance of the
principles promulgated in the Declaration of
Independence and embodied in the federal
constitution. is essential to the preservation
of our republican Institutions and that the
federal constitution, the rights of the states
and the union of the states shall be preserved
Rcsoir'd. That with our republican fathers
We hold it to be a self evident truth, that all
men are endowed with the inllicnable right
to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,
ana That the primary object and ultcrior de-
sign OF our Federal Government were to Sc
cure those rights to all persons within its cx-
elusive jurisdiction that as our repu blican
fathers when they had abol shed slavery in all
our national territory, ordained that no per-
son should be deprived Of life, liberty or pro-

our duty to maintain this provision Of the

\ TALE OF lioRRoR.-We heard hvinr re-
port some few weeks since that several Tndians
had been murdered at the Cascades. but we
torhore u say anything about it till We
could learn the particulars. Ne have since
learned the particulars, and with a face
crimsoned with shame for human kind. we
proceed to lay them before the public The
Indians murdered consisted of the family If
>penser, chef, who resides at Vancouver.
and was made up Cf his father, an old Trey
headed Indian, Spenser's wife and four chill
dren-a daughter nearly grown. and three
young sons one Of which was a sucking babe
The Indians had been up to the Dalles. in The
service Of the [. ). Government. and were
on their way back t. Vancouver. under
charge Of Col. Joseph Meek, and having
regular passes about their persons In
making the portage at the Cascades, it
seemed they were overtakan by seven men,
tli such they might be called and torcihlv
taken from Col. Meek. whose life thpy
threatened, and one after the other was mur-
dered by means Of Il strong cord which was
tied around the neck and twisted with a
stuck till lie was extinct. The girl was yi1-
lated by,,these tieuds before her life was taken
The annals Of Indian barharity furnish no
instance of cold blooded, diaboeical, cowarily
vllainy, that can much transcend th, act
which has stamped the character Of our Ter
rltory with foul blot, which will stick to
1t long after the perpetrators OF that act and
those who cOuntenance it, are dead and
damned. \ few more such acts A. this. and
Oregon will be by-word and Kissing among
the civilized nations OF the earth.

MAINE.-A WRITER to the Boston Journal,
whom il speaks Of as " an influential straight
out Wing, whose speculatons are based
on thorough knowledge Of the politics of
the State" says, If an attempt is made at
the Wing State Convention to fuse with the
Democratic party, depend upon it, 1t will not
be ratified by the mass of the Wings Ifthere
should be no open fight against it in the
Convention, there will be in the field and at
the ballot box The true sentiment of the
Wings of Maine is entirely and thoroughly
against this present administration, its heirs,
executors 4 assigns forever The nomination
of Mr.. Buchanan may sugar the pill SO that
it shall suit the palates of few; but the
majority will resoutely refuse to swallow
she nauseous compound
