THE KISSING MARKET.-At North
Berkot, Mass, few years age, there was
"Grab Bag" party, and the money raised
was to be applied towards paying a debt of
a religious society. One of the ways
adopted, at that party, to raise money, was,
quite a number of young ladies offered
themselves to be kissed by the gentlemen,
upon the payment of a certain sum (ten
cents was the more common price;) but
there was as much unsteadiness in the kiss
ing market then, as there is in the gold
market now The highest price paid for a
kiss was so cents but the brisk competl-
ton among the ladies to see who should
get the most kisses, brought the price down
to 5 cents That Grab Party was attended
by the ministers and deacons, the aged, the
middle aged, and the young no objection
was made to selling kisses for cash and it
was matter for thanksgiving from the pull
pit, that the efforts of the society to raise
money to pay its debt had been successful.

REcRU1rING.-The N. Y. Tribune S
Washington correspondent understands
that the Government has determined to
adopt plan for recruiting the army, which
has been long under consideration. and that
measures will be Immediately taken to car
ry it into effect. BY this plan it is hoped
that very large proportion of the two
years and nine months men, Just dis
charged, may be inclined to re-enlis! for
the war. These veterans are to be offered
in addition to the 800 bounty and pay
which all the national soldiers receive, a
bounty Of $500, and are to form special
corps. distinguished from both conscripts
and from ether three years men. The
Government is to be reimbursed, man for
man, for this $500, from the substitute
fund to be raised under the draft, and
which by terms Of the act must be devoted
to this purpose. These advantages are to
be forfeited in case the men 10 whom they
appeal do not avail themselves of them
within fixed time, which will probably be
60 days The large bounty offered is TO
be paid in instalments, to suit the conven-
ience Of the Government and the wishes of
the soldier

WHO ARE YOUR ARIsToCRATs.-Tw
ty years ago, this one made candles and
that one sold cheese and butter, another
butchered, fourth carried on a distillery,
another was a contractor on canals, others
were merchants and mechanics. They are
acquainted with both ends of society, as
their children will be after them-though
it will not do to say so out loud For Of
ten you shall find that these toiling worms
hatch butterfies-and they live about a
year. Death brings a division Of proper
ty, and it brings new fnanciers; the old
gent is discharged, the young gent takes
his revenues, and begins to travcl-toward
poverty. Which he reaches before death
or his children do, if he does not. So that.
in fact though there is a set of monied
race, it is not hereditary, it is accessible to
all three good seasons of cotton will send
a generation of men up-a score of years
will bring them all down, and send their
children to labor. TIE father grubs, and
grows rich-his children strut and use the
money. Their children inherit the pride,
and 60 to shiftless poverty; next. their
children, reinvigorated by fresh plebian
blood; and by the smell of the clod come
up again.
Thus society, like tree. draws its sap
from the earth, changes it into leaves and
blossoms, spreads them abroad in great
glory, sheds them off to fall back to the
earth, again to mingle with the soil, and at
length to reappear in a new dress and fresh
garniture.

Failure Of the fremont Legion.

A few months ago a number of warm ad-
mirers Of Gen. Fremont resolved that they
would raise a corps of 10000 negro troops
for him. The President was applied to
and promised that Fremont should have
leave to command them In time they
were to swell the corps to $50, 900, but they
thought if only 10000 were called for first
the thing would look more feasible. The
Journal Of Commerce says:
''The facility with which this small num-
Der of black men could be rallied would
then Justify Gen. Fremonts friends in issu-
ing appeals for 100000 Of them. Fears
we're expressed that President Lincoln
would not consent But he did consent,
fully. 1t was expected that the scheme
would rouse a ferocious opposition among
the Conservatives. This, too, was q mis-
calculation. The Conservatives did not
oppose it. Everybody it may be said, was
willing the black people Why
they object, we cannot say, but that they
do object is notorious, The committee
have not yet raised the first corporals squad
toward the 10000. Not even one negro
soldier has enlisted at their suggestion or
promised to enlist, as we are informed. Ar
rangements have been made for holding a
mass meeting of colored citizens at Pough-
keepsie, on the 25th an 26th instant, to
promote enlistments in the "Fremont Le-
gion," but it has been postponed until the
10th day Of July. The committee seem to
entertain inadequate ideas of the value of
time, or else they have a small stock of
faith in the possibility Of the Fremont Le-
gion just now"
The same may be said of Gov. Andrews
legions, promised upon the issue of the
Emancipation Proclamation. None of
them are rushing to the seat of war, few
or none of the three times three hundred
thousand promised by the Tribune Cor
Bulletin.
