KlssING.-Some impudent scamp pen
ned the following, and then amused him
self by showing it to some fair damsels.
"Men scorn to kiss amona themselves,
And scarce would kiss brother;
But women want to k ISIS SO bad,
They kiss and kiss each other
Whereupon one of the bevy of fair
ones became indignant, and pencilled this
reply, ana left it for the fellows instruc-
ton:
"Men do not kiss among themselves,
And It's well that they refrain;
Tho bitter dose would vex them SO,
They would never kiss again.
As sometimes on poor woman's lip
Is applied this nauseous lotion,
We hare to kiss among ourselves
As 4 counteracting potion"

OPINIONS ABROAD. = The Chicago
Times thus speaks of the Minnesota Dem
ocratic Legislature which has just adjourn
ed. The excursion party who paid such
a pleasant visit to this city and vicinity a
short time since, was composed mainly
of Editors, Lawyers, and Railroad men,
who made a note of things as they passed
along-but read:
Choking in upon the Legislature, we
found a body of men grouped in pictures
que attitudes about the houses. 1t was
amusing to note the various auxilliaries
resorted to by honorable Senators and AS
semblymen to evoke the eloquence and
wisdom that was hid within them. Some
poised their heels upon the SUBMITS of
desks; others elevated them still higher
against the pillars and ratings; some
lounged on benches against the walls !;
some walked two and fro IN deep medita-
ton; some smoked dirty clay pipes, and
others chcwed tobacco and squirted the
juice in little jets about the rooms. The
spectacle was highly cntertaining."-

E Living in the country is great
privilege. There is a freshness and free
dom from constraint about it, that once
appreciated is not easily relinquished.-
You can go bareheaded or barefooted,
in your shirt sleeves or with an old -cea.,
YOU can stand on your head or on your
feet, YOU can shout, whistle or sing as loud
as you please, without interfering with
anybody's chartered privileges. And
then ifyou wish to hunt orfsh. there are
the largest kind of parks at your service
filed with game, or the clearest of Stre ans
Astounding with the finest kind of trout,
that are ever unable. to resist the. Tempt
ing grasshopper and such other deliea
cies rs you may offer them. Or if you
are vegetarian and es-chew animal diet,
and believe the use of the hook and line
anything but innocent amusement, there
are orchards of plums and berries, on ey-
cry hand, affording abundant material
for delightful excursions.
We have often looked with sort of
plying wonder on the poor wretches who
voluntarily adopt city life. To us It
seems to bear about the same relation to
acOuntry life, as perfect liberty with plen-
ty of fresh air does to close confinement
in noisome prison. But perhaps it may
be,a necessary evil aud we have no desire
to aggravate the sufferings Of our city
cousins by dilatiug upon them, or TO tam
talize them by display of our peculiar
privileges. We will therefore drop the
subject, and simply remark that in the en-
joyment of these inestimable privileges,

Profano Swearing.

Rev. E. H. Chaplin, the celebrated Uni
veTsalist preacher, thus slludes to Trofane
swearing in one of his sermons on the Lords
Prayer:
"If we would use the prayer sincerely, we
must hallow Gods name upon our lips 1t
will never be light word there. It will never
drop out in jest. or ring in blasphemy. l wish
to touch this point earnestly. l would speak
strongly against the common sin Of profane-
ness. Are there any before me who are &C
customed to use Gods name as m expletve
and to handy it as by-word Who employ
it in all kinds of conversation, and throw it
about in every place 7 Perhaps in their hearts
they consider this habit as an accomplish
ment think it manly and brave to swear -
Let me say then, that profaneness is a brutal
vice. He who INDUCES in it is no gentleman.
care not what his stamp may be in society
i care not what clothes he wears, on what cul
ture he boasts. Despite all his refinement the
light and habitual taking of God g name, be-
trays coarse nature, and brutal will. Nav,
he tacitly admits that it is ungcntlemanly. He
retains his oaths in the presence of ladies; and
he who fears not to rush into the chancery of
Heaven and swear by the Majesty there, is
decently observant in the drawing-room and
the parlor. But, again. profaneness is an un-
manly ana silly vice. IL certainly Is not a
grace in conversation and it adds no strength
to it. There is no organic symmetry in TIE
narrative that is ingrained with oaths; and the
blasphemy that holsters an opinion does not
make it any more correct. Our mother Eng
lsh has variety enough to make a story spar
kle, and to give point to wit; it has toughness
enough to furnish sinews for debate, and to
drive home conviction, without degrading the
holy epithets of Jehovah. Nay. the Use OF

idves, and a consciousness Of being on the
wrong side. And, if we can find no other

passion, we had better repress that passioh.A
And again, profaneness is mean vice.
According to general estimation. he who re-

The London Times Of the 9Th inst, referring
to American affairs, says the absorption of the
weaker republics of Central and South America
by the United States can not apparently be
long delayed. Mexico and New Granada are

have actually commenced open movements in
favor OF surrender Of their nationality and

to indicate that she has some inherent life. is
on the road to asimilar fate. The small inter.
mediate States Of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Sal
vadoi, Honduras and Guatemala, will be ready

their case. a. well as in that of New Granada,
consists in the provisions of the Clayton-Bulwer
Treaty, which prohibit the United States and
Great Britain alike from assuming control over
