Small Talk.

But of all the expedients to make
the heart lean, the brain gauzy, and
to thin life down into the consistency
of a cambric kerchief,th most success
ful is the little talk and tattle which,
in some charmed circles, is courteous
ly styled conversation. How human
beings can live on such meagre fare
how continue existence in such tam.
inc of topic and on such a short al
lowance Of sepse--is a great question,
ifphilQsophy could only search it out
All we know is, that such men and
women there are, who will 90 from
fifteen to four-scCre, and meyer a hint
on their tombstones, that they died al
last of consumption OF the head and
marasmus Of the heart! The whole
universe Of God, spreading out its
Splendors and terrOrs, pleading for
their attention, and they wonder
"where Mrs. Somebody got that di,
vine ribbon to her bonnet :" The
whole world of literature, through its
thousand trumps of fame, abjuring
them to regard its garnered stores Of
emotion and thought, and they think,
"lt's high time, if John intends to
marry Sarah, for him to pop the ques-
ton !" When, to be sure, this "trip
perry is spiced with little envy and
malice, and prepares its small dishes
of scandal and pice bits of detraction,
it becomes endowed with a slight yen

in the absence Of soul, to carry on the
machinery of living, if not the reality
of life f. p. WiRple.

Vegetables, common to the West-

three hundred to FIVE hundred bushels

Wild fowls are in great variety, and
during the fall and winter months the

Fame.

What an endless struggle, since the
foundation Of the world men have in.
dulged in for fame. Some for a pure
and noble fame-for q name honora-
bic and sweet in the memory Of gen
erations; some for renown, indifferent
whether pure or tarnished ed-renown
written upon columns, temples and
tombs, trophies raised by the blood
and sweat o! slaves; and some for no
toriety--the Enpedocles and Sam
Patches Of our race. Sesostris, writ
ing his name on granite, skiing Of
Kings" Alexander, demi-deifed at
Ammon; Choops, remembered for his
pyramid; Boswell, lifted into remem-
brapce by the skirts of johnson. In
finite the variety! The desire for
tame--to survive forgetfulness and
override OBLIVION, has cost mankind
seas of blood and ages of agony and
sorrow. Fierce and cruel wars have
been born oft; fiery desolations have
ragged on its track; love, truth and JUS
| tice have perished, and millions have
barred their necks to exalt it's posses
sors. History is little more than the
foul story Of ambitious strife for fame
for higher place and wider known
name. ...
Yet how few of the strugglers are
remembered; and of these most have
their measure fipfamy. By no means
is memory among men always deeira-
BILE. Time is an ayenger, closely sift-
ing the Misunderstanding the no.
torious and the infamous wide apart
from the nobly framed. Better for
Nero had he been forgotten; better for
Alva had he been unknown; better
for Arnold had he never been born.
But it is glorious to win the fame Of q
Howard or a Washington--to be not
only remembered, but also reyerenced
and beloved-to leave q name fragrant
in the worlds heart. This is true re-
nown, worthy of all struggle and of
the highest ambition. These are the
great, the imperishable names, outliv-
ing pillar, and temple, and tomb. Next
to these are the good names--names Of
the pure and Just Of earth, which, tho
forgotten by history, and ungraven
upon brass or marble, are written OIL
the everlasting record Of virtpe-iu
the book of God. Better to win O
place among these, than to be notori'
GUS OF the page of history, or remem.
bered UNANIMOUSLY among men. Better
be humbly good than ignobly great;
better far be a Howard than q Caesar

sis rather to be chosen than great

A Good Whitewash.

AS this is the season of the year
when people begin to clean up and
make things. look fresh for the ap-
preaching summer, we copy from the
last Scientific Ammican the follow
ing ip respect tgt4e best and cheapest
whitewashes, both for the inside and
outside of houses: T.. .,..
Take half a bushel of fresh burnt
white lime, and slake it either with
hot or cold water, in a tub or barrel.
When thoroughly slaked, dissolve in
the water required to thin the lime
two quarts Of common salt, stir il
thoroughly, add one quart Of sweet
milk, and it is ready for use to put on
with a brush. This wash is for the
outside of buildings, fences, &C., and
is very durable. Some put glue in
whitewash, and others flour and rich
paste; but these render it liable tc
scale off in very dry weather. The
above wash may be made Q cream.
color by the addition of ochre. The
above whitewash is all that can be
desired for the interior of houses, ex
ceptipg the salt-it must be omitted
as it tends to imbibe moisture. French
white is superior to lime washes fol
The ceilings Of rooms, as it is not 81
liable to turn yellowish in color, bu
it rubs off so easily that it cannot b.
used for side. walls.

YOU KISSED ME.
BY JOSIE s. HUNT.

You kissed me My head had dropped low
on your breast,
With feeling of shelter and infinite rest;
While the holy emotion my tongue dared
not speak, ......
Flushed up, like flame, from my heart tc
my cheek.
Your arms held me fast-Oh your arms
were so bold,
Heart beat against heart in their passionate
hold,
. Your glances seemed drawing my soul thro
my eyes,
AS the sun draws the mist from the sea 10
the skies,
And your lips chung 10 mine till I prayed in
my bliss,
They might never unClasp from that ra 2tur-
Gus kiss.
You kissed me- Ny heart and my breath
and my will,
in delirious joy for the moment stood still.
Lite had for me then no temptations-no
charms ....
No vista of pleasure-Outside of your arms,
And were | this instant an angel, possessed
OF the glory and peace that are given the
blest
IwOuld fling my white robes unrepiningly
down,
And tear from my forehead its beautiful
crown,
To nestle once more in that haven ofrest,
With your lips upon mine, and my head on
your breast.
You kissed me My soul in bliss so divine,
Reeled and swooned like foolish man
drunken with wine,
And thought 'twere delicious to die then, il
Death
Would come while my mouth was ye. moist
with your breath;
'Twcre delicious to die il my heart might
grow cold,
While your arms wrapt me round in that
passionate fold.
And these are the questions | ask day and
night:
Must my life taste but once such exquisite
delight
Would you care if your breast were my
shelter as then!
And ifyou were here, would you kiss me
again

A. II runs through the realm Of tears,
With fautless rhythm and a mu, ical rhyme,
And boundiesS sweep and surge sublime,
As it blends tn the Ocean OF Years
How the winters drifting, like flakes Of snow.
And the summers, like buds between;
And the year in the sheatso they come aud they 90
On the rivers breast, with IL ehb and flow,
As ii giides in the shadow and sheen
There's magical Isle up the river Time,
Where the soitest airs playing
There's cloudlcss sky and tropical cline,
And song as sweet a, a vesper chime,
And the Junes with the roses are straying
And the name Of that Isle is the LONG AGO,
And we bury our treasures there
There are brows OF beauty and bosoms of snow
There are heap' Of dust but We loved them so -,
There are Iinkcts and ,resses Of hair;
There are fragments Of songs that nobody sings,
And a part Of an infants payer;
There's lite unswept and a harp w!thou, strings.
There are broken VOWS and pieces of rings,
And the garments that he used to wear
There are hands that waved when the fairy .hore
