Love, kiss me, kiss me on the lips,
And kiss me on the cheek,
And | would that could speak;
Ny heart. my heart so happy pants;
But feel lost and weak
This cup of pain so bitter is.
Aud grow dull with woe;
And my tears are falling slow.
But touch your neck, your rosy neck;
So am blessed, | know.
o love, we welded years agonel
A blessed bliss for me-
Love, let me, let me see
Your blest soft ewes burn into minel
Dear eyes, how kind they be-

They sOothe me while l speak.

But kiss me. kiss me on the lips,

PAYNE DEAR For Ir.-The people of th,
country are paying good round price for wor-
Shipping the negroes as they have for few years
past. The chief trnit of this ''nigger worship
is this cursed rebellion, which is running the
country. and mpovershiug its citizens. But,
while this is the principal tax, the incidentas
will prove no mean item. Among the most in
terestng Of these incidentals is the direct pnr-
chase. and support, of negro slaves. To free
the slaves of the District of Columbia 5 100
600 is to be paid, and it is estimated that the
government is now paving at the rate Of 500
600 day for the support of negroes who have
boon entced from their masters, or liberated by
other unlawful means. A this the people
have got to pay. and, willing as we are to pay
tho legitimate expenses of suppressing the re-
bclion, we think this negro tax may reasonably
be objected to- When the tay.gatherer de-
mands the national tax in which this will be in
cluded, not few hitherto negrophobai;es vii
conclude that negro.worship has become too ex
pensivc, and will hereafter range themselves
under the banner Of Democracy, the party which
has always kept step to the music of the

Always the Negro.

A good many of the radical presses begin to
change their tune now. and to cry out with full
breath that it is not the negro whom they de-
sire especially to serve. but the white man
They begin to see they have carried their theory
Of equality, and all that, a good deal farther
than it will properly 20, and would fain haul in
their horns. Still, with all their onesided pro-
testations on the subject, they continue to sup
port such men as Senator Sumner. and he can
hardly be charged with having n particularly
tender sympathy for the white man No longer
ago than during this present month, he has in.
troduted bill into the Senate, and pressed it
forward to vote, looking for nothing more nor
less than the equalizing of the black and white
man, if not even the putting Of the black man
first, He proposes to Congress to permit the
black man to enjoy the privilege of carrying the
United States mails, equally with the white
man and the Senate humored him by passing
his bill ! Yet these radicals will persist in
telling us that such men as the Summers and
Phillips do not by any means represent their
sentiments, and are not of their kidney Now
any sane man would naturally ask, of all other
questions which he would be likely to put, why
such an unimportant and wholly mischievous
matter, as this of allowing the negro to carry
the mails, should be dragged into the arena
now, when we need as small an addition 10 our
stock of agitating questions as possible. Be-
sides, there are several States at the West that
