TWILIGHT REvERIE.
In the calm twilight, when the day has given
Her sweetest gift, in one reluctant kiss,
Pressed on the crimson lips of dewy even,
In silent love and bliss; -
When Night her star-embroider'd robes unfolding,
Walks through the shadowy portals of the west :
With tender clasp each weary spirit holding,
Close to herpeaceful breast; =,
Nor heed the moments that are aeeting by;
While thoughts within me rise in countless number
As stars come forth on high.
Then DER me visions Of some vanishd gladness,
Steal like the twitightshades o'er sunny hours
And Memory drops tear Of gentle sadness,
Like dew on faded flowers.
What fond remembrances are round me springing,
Like chords awakened by some olden song;
Words OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES clinging
Affections roots among.
Tears warm and bright as Aprirs golden showers,
Mingled with smiles, cen while they flowed from
- pain,
Sweet buds Of Hope that never grew to flowers,
But blossomed Ger again.
The eyes that shown with such allowing brightness,
Warm, clasping hands, the smile Of quiet mirth ;
The bounding step, the form Of youthful ightness'
Now passed away from earth.
Thus through the vista of the days departed,
By Memory's light sadly wander on;
Seeking shadowy joy-till heavy-hsarted, -
i awake-the vision gone.
Turn from the Past, my soul, and gaze before thee
Into that far-off, undiscovered land;
When her bright rainbow Hope isarching o'er thee'
Held by the Futures hand.
Here at the entrance of her portal kneelihg,
Pray for the angel-guards of Love and Faith;
Shielded by these, and in the power believing,
Walk undismayed thy path.
Fear not the battle-ever Truth defending,
Yield not to foes that shall beset thy way;
For the bright guerdon, ever upward tending,
Let not thy footsteps stray.
Thou canst not tell how far that pathway leading
Shall guide thee up beyond oil mortal sight;
How soon may come, in answer to thy pleading,
The dawn Of heavenly light.
When the soft shadows of Life's evening stealing
AfOunQ Iuee ucItl0 tuO oPPiooSh Va A'o-~'
In the far distant stars of Hope revealing,
Toaid thy heavenward flight
When solemn Death thy weary form enfolding
Calls thee to dreamless slumber on his breast,
Shrink not from his embrace-thou art beholdlng
AMessenger of Rest.
Joyously go-each tender farewell spoken,
But for little while-love cannot die;
Sweet ties that bind thee here shall not be broken
But only drawn on high.
Not as in visions Of some earthly story,
Whose dim and fading brightness soon is past,
Thou shalt possess realities of glory,
Whose joys forever last.
Then rise to battle, immortal spirit;
Conquer thyself-frst gain the inward strife;
Then to thy foes without-thou shalt inherit
An Everlasting Life. MAY.

OUR COUNTRY.

The editor of the Wedowee (Ala-) Mer-
curry lets himself off in the following spark
ling style.
There's not the least shadow of g. doubt
about the matter-ours is emphatically, un-
deniably, positively, comparatively and su-
perlatively, a great and glorious country
The annals of time furnish nothing to COM
pare with it; Greece wasn't circumstance;
Rome was "nowhar;" Venice couldn't hold
us candle, while all modern nations sink
into insignifcance before our country. 1t
has longer rivers, and more of them, and
muddier and deeper, and they run faster and
90 farther, and make more noise, and rise
higher, fall lower, and do more damage than
anE body else's rivers. 1t has more lakes,
and they are bigger and deeper, and clearer
than those of any other nation. 1t has more
cataracts, and they fall further, and faster,
and harder, and roar louder and look grand
er than all other cataracts. 1t has more
mountains, and higher ones, and more snow
on 'em, and they are harder to get up, and
easier to fall down than all other mountains.
1t has more gold, and it is heavier and bright
er, and worth more than the gold of other
countries. Our rail cars are bigger, and
run faster, and pitch off the track oftener,
and kill more people than all other rail-cars.
Our steamboats, are longer, and carry bigger
loads, and "bile their buster ofner, and the
captains swear harder than any other coun-
try. Our men are bigger, and longer, and
higher, and thicker, and can fight harder and
faster, and drink more whisky, chew more
tobacco, spit more and further, stick up their
heels higher, and do anything else more aud
better, and oftener than men in all other
countries. Our ladies are prettier, dress f.
ner, spend more money, break more hearts,
wear bigger hoops and shorter dresses, and
kick up the devil generally to great extent
than all other ladies. Our politicians can
spout louder, lie harder, make gas faster,
dodge quicker, turn oftener, make more noise
and do less work than every body else's poll
ticians Our niggers are blacker, work hard
er, have thicker skulls, and smell louder,
and need thrashing oftener than other mig
gers. Our children squall louder, grow fast
er, get too big for their trousers quicker than
all other children.
It is great country! 1t is the corner
stone of nations it is the top Of the pile, the

It is not good for us to forget that we were
all young once. Don't you remember that
rosy cheek, blue-eyed little girl that sat at
the same desk with you at the. village school,
that you used to call 'my sweetheart? You
cannot have forgotten Wat real, good, Old
fashioned strapping you got one day for send
ing her that kiss verse;
"say lovely maid if you will e'er impart
One soothing balsam to my breaking heart"
or how slyly she slipped into your hand;
aThe question, sir, you wish to ask, own
cannot answer till we are alone"
You kept that strip of printed nonsense in
your waistcoat pocket until-until-well un-
til some heartless chamber-maid put it in the
washerwoman's 3 bundle, when, of course, your
heart broke all up into seventeen pieces
each piece quivering in untold agony
Well, well; those were childish days; and
we are told that sfoolishness is bound up in
the heart of child so let that pass.
kiss Verses Jokes Or Lovers Mot
toe's-or whatever you may be pleased to
call the little strips of printed paper, gener-
ally found sticking to square piece of can
dy, called by eonfectioners, 'Kiss'-have
helped many bashful swain to the posses
ion of another very sweet article of like
name. These kiss Verses originated, /
think, with the French ; and their existence
and use can be traced as far back as sixteen
hundred and nothing. A celebrated German
critic of the sixteenth century afirms, with
some show of truth, that the Kuss Vers (kiss
verses) were in vogue very many hundred
wears before his time; and, among other
specimens, gives the following as an ez'
ample:
"Des schlackoben des bosch ent tchafhe,
Nix Gunner rous, des :nterschastchers."
free translation of which would amount tc
something like the following:
Mine hearts as bad ash anything
Dis nicht, as dark ant plack;
1t ish no goot mine posom feels
Mine plue-eyed Vontleschack.
Why these little square bits of candy are
called Kisses deponent saith not, unless II
be because they are sweet and because they
are best relished when directlyin the mouth
and, as every kiss is simply an outward sigr
of an inner sentiment, so the candy kiss, Wher
given, is not merely intended to leave sweet
ness upon the lip, but to stir the heart with
the sentiment or verses found within the
wrapper,
No young lady kisses gentleman, or al
lows gentleman to kiss her, without mu
tual understanding that they love each other
So, the candy kiss is not simply intended tt
crafty the palate, but to convey to the re
cipient some expression of affection and love
The verses it has been often remarked
fare the best part of the kisses; and
wouldn't give a cent for the candy withou
them. And who would care for kiss
simple cold, unmeaning kiss-that was no
accompanied by an expression of love ane
affection?
There are some kisses, which are sole
without verses-bought generally by ole
maids and bachelors; and there are some
kisses, of the other sort, which men give tt
scolding wives-nothing in them. But lov
ers' kisses are never destitute of sentiment
never without an expression of tender en-
dearment.
