A KISS.

There's something in kiss-though I cannot
 reveal it; It never comes amiss-not even when you steal
 it. You cannot taste kiss, and sure you cannot
 view it, But still there is bliss communicated through
 it. am well convinced there is certain some
 thing in it. Though Lut simple kiss-we wisely strive to
 win it. There's pleasure in kiss-f nothing else would
 prove it, It may be proved alone by this-all honest peo-
 pie love it.

A MOTHERS GROUP.

A row of little faces by the he'd A row Of little hands upon the spread A TOW of little roguish eyes all closed A row of little naked feet exposed. The gentle mother leads them in their praise Teaching their feet to tread in heavenly ways, And takes this luil in c!lildhood's tiny tide, The little errors of the day to chiae. No lovelier sight this side of heaven is seen, And angels hover OCT that group serene; Instead of odors in censer swung, There floats the fragrance of an infants
 tongue.
 Then, tum5ling headlong into waiting beds, Beneath the sheets they hide their tiInid
 heads;
 Till sumber steals away their idle fears, And like peepii,y bud each face appears. All dressed like angels in their gowns of white They're waited to the skies in dreams oflight And heaven will sparkle in their eyes at morn And stolen sraces all their ways ae.orn.

ion may be enhanced. Maine, in the peace
ful years past, has rarely grown the whole
of her bread.
As general policy, l have not hitherto
recommended that greater breadth be de-
voted to tillagc crops, but rather less. and
that Jy improred culture we insure suiicien-
cy for home use, and by the production of
meat, Of dairy products and OF wool, that
We have something to sell and wherewith to
render our lands more fertile. Circumstan-
ces alter cases. In emergencies, men are e1-
pected to act differently IRON what they 9TH
erwise would. Under ordinary clrcumstan-
ces, no farmer could afford, as a matter OF
dollars and cents, to devote his labor, land
and manure in the proportions which might
be expected to result in only twenty bushels
of corn to the acre, or other crops proper
tionatcly small. Such u course would be
wasteful. But when the question Is not be-
tween good farming and bad farming, but
between food and starvation or famine prices,
the proposition assumes a different aspect
and for this reason do earnestly recommend
that at the present time increased attention
be given to the direct production Of human
food. 1t seems advisable, also, that no stock
be kept on our farms which does not yield
profitable returns for the animal food con-
sumed. S. L. GooDALE,

while this ill.starred movement was confined
to tho extreme South, and they abstained
from further aggression, that they should 60
in peace. This course, thought, would re-
tain the border States, and bring back the
seceders in year or two, wearied and dis
gusted with their burdcnsomo and perilous
experiment.
Such understood to have been, in sub
stance, the programme of the Administra-
tion. But tho South has willcd II otherwise.
She has struck paricidal blow at tho heart
Of the Union; and to sustain her in this un-
natural and unrighteous war, Is what my
conscience forbids. Neither will remain si-
lent, and see this majestic framework OF gov
crnmcnt, the noblcst political fabric ever
reared by human wisdom, prostrated in the
dust, to crafty the disappointed ambition of
few aspiring men, (for that Mr.. Vice Pres
ident Sterhens bravely told his fellow-citizens
last November was tho cause Of great part
Of our troubles) and this under cover OF a
sophistical Interpretation of the Constitu-
ton, and emphatically denounced by Madi-
son, their leader and chief.
What then remains, fellow-citizcns, but
that We should, without unchristian bitter
ness toward our misguided countrymcn,
meet calmly and rcsolutCly the demands Of
tho crisis; that We should perform the duty
of good citizens with resolution and steadi-
ness that we should cordially support the
Government of the country in the difficult
position in which it is placed; that we should
cheer and encourage the brave men who
have obeycd its call by q generous care Of
their families and to sum it all in one word,
como veal or come woe, that we should stand
by the flag Of the Union.

chief magistrate, place themselves in power
and in clover, and all without being inter-
fered with. They would like to make war
and have no war in return. II there is to be
fighting, they wish to have II all on one side.
They would like to have sort Of triumphal
march over Northern necks, with drums
beating and banners flying. They inaugur-
ate war, carry their points with high hand,
and all the time beg that no coercion" be
used-denounce war, and declare that they
only wish to be let alone. The government
understands exactly what this means now,
and is determined that the South shall have
peace under its old nag-thc only flag under
which it can enjoy either peace or prosper
ity. These protests and catch-words have
lost their power to bamboozlc either the gov
ernment or the people, and no man not
traitor at heart ever uses them.

Tho Death OF Warren.

At the meeting of tho Committee Of Safe

nestly stroye to dissuado him from exposing
his person.
Il know there is danger, replied Warren,
but who does not think it sweet to die for
his country?'
When Col. Prescott gave orders to retreat,
warrcn's desperate courage forbade him to
obey. no fingered last in the rcdoubt, and
was slowly retrcatins, when British officer
called on him to surrender. Warren proud

shot in the forehead, and fell dead in the
