Miss Fitznancy, elderly maiden, charged Mr..

kissed her in the entry of her own house. Mr..

Butcher, with some expression of disgust, more

BATTLEWORN BANNERS

saw the 50 diers come to-day
Prom battlefield afar
No condueror rode before their way
On his triumphal car,
But captains, like themselves, on foot
And banners sadly torn,
All grandly eloquent, though mute,
In pride and glory borne
Those banners, sOiled with dirt and smoke,
And rent by shot and shell
That through the serried phalanx broke
What terrers they could tell
What tales OF sudden pain and death
In every cannon's boom,
when even the braYest held his breath
And waited for his doom.
BY hands OF steel these flags were waved
Above the carnage dire,
Almost destroyed, yet always saved
mid battle clouds and IRE.
Though down at times, still up they rose
And kissed the breeze again,
Dread tokens 10 the rebel foes
OF true and loyal men.
And here the true and loyal still
Those famous banners bear
The bugies wind, the hfes blow shrilI,
And clash the cymbals, whore
With decimated ranks they come.
And through the crowded street
March to the beating Of the drum
With nrm though weary feet.
God bless the soldiers cry the folk
Whose cheers OF welcome swell
God bless the banners, black with smoke
And torn BY shot and shell
They should be hung on sacred shrines,
Baptized with grateful tears,
And live embalmed in poetry's lines
Through all succeeding years.
No grander trophies could be broughi
By patriot sire to son,
OF glorious battles nObly fought,
Brave deeds sublimely done.
Andso, 20 day, 1 chanced with pride
And solemn JOY 10 see
Those remnants from the bloody tide
OF Victory

KISS UPON THE SLY.

Let poets sing of Eastern climes,
And golden sunset honrs
Ofshady nOoks
And babbling brooks,
OF moon-lit orange bowers
Yet still to me
More sweet shall be

A pair of pouting cherry lips
To kiss upon the sly,
To kiss upon the sly.
Oh, let them build their lofty rhym
As cen SO e'er they may !;
But give me still
If so you will,
Another word to say
Now here to all,
Tall, fat OF small,
I vow I'd rather die,
Than miss the bliss, that's in a kiss.

Rare.
Years ago blunt Vermont farmer not alto
gether versed in tho public literature of fash
ionable cookery, having by hard knocks ac-
quired considerable property, took it into his
head to visit Boston, and started accordin gly
with his best one-horse gig. Stopping near
noon at one of the smart villages on the
route he put up for time and ordered dinner
When asked what he preferred, he mentioned
beef steak, whereupon the landlord inquired
whether he would have it rare OF well DONE
This was a stumper for our friend, but think
ing there might be something glorious in the
uncertainty, he assumed the air of one 'E who
knew the bricks, and ordered it rare. All
things in readiness, our hero took a seat at the
table and com menced vigorous onslaught on
the smoking viands placed before him. At the
first cut of the steak, blood very generously
followed the knife, at which he started back
in astonishment and rang the bell furiously.
Directly a waiter answered the summons and
inquired what he wished.
II want this bOef steak cooked said
the gueet.
''But you ordered it rare, ;" replied the wait
er.
s'I know it," said the guest, assuming to
understand the matter fully, but it is not
quite right; you may take it out and rare 1t

gentleman (Cox) explicitly If the life of
the nation could be saved only by the viola
tion of the Constitution in some respects,
would he save the life Of the nation at that
cost? [Laughter.]
Mr.. Cox replied that he knew of no other
life of the nation than the Constitution it
self He regarded the Constitution as the
body and bones of the nation. Therefore,
in defending the Constitution, we defend
the nations life from assassination. Under
no conceivable circumstances to the human
mind would he (Cox) violate the Constitu-
ton, for any purpose whatever. Any man
who utters any other sentiments, expresses
moral treason. In reference to Mr.. Vallan-
digham, he said that he Cox was for a fair
trial, for Stree speech" and fora Stree press,
and everywhere he took the ground in favor
of the election of man who, In these re-
spects, vindicated constitutional liberty. No
where did Mr.. Vallandigham utter asenti-
ment looking to the recognition OF the
Southern Confederacy, and he was in favor
of voting men and money to carry on the
war. Nothing looking to the independence
of the South ever came from the lips OF Mr.
Vallandigham.
Mr.. Cox said, In conclusion, "We have to
take the old States to make the Union. This
Is the platform on which We expect to meet
you next Autumn. We will never surren-
der the country to the Secessionists or the
AbolitiOnists."

AREMARKABLE STORY.
A Respectable Girl Duped..Marriage
ON a Short Acquaintance.

A letter from Palmyra IN. W to the
Rochester Express tells this curious story:
A remarkable Leap Year, courtship and
marriage came off in our quiet village last
week, resulting disastrously to all the par
ties concerned. The whole caseNis not so
fully developed as to enable one to give a
full relation. 1t seems that a Miss G. NJ, a
highly respected young lady of 20 years,
had been holding correspondence with a
young officer in military camp in New
Jersey-who had sent her an Introductory
letter vouchihg for his respectability. Said
letter was>written by an acquaintance of
hers, who also was an officer. Several let
ter's passed, he sending his photograph, and
q request for her photograph; all this was
very pleasant and honorable.
On Monday of last week q young and
rather prepossessing young man of about
TWENTY-FIVE years, dressed in military
clothes, arrived here and called on the lady
and announced himself as her dear CORES
pondent; he was cordially received as such
by Miss G. NJ, Notwithstanding the parties
failed to discover any similarity of likeness
between him and the photograph, but this
he explained to her satisfaction by saying
it was taken before he went into the SER
vice, three years ago. Monday and Tues
day things went on lovingly, and he visited
the morning prayer meetings, and spoke,
and all were greatly edited thereby.
The account he gave of himself was thathe
had resigned about four months previous,
was now Deputy Provost Marshal, was at
Vicksburg when taken prisoner, an inmate
of Libby eight months, and was in the
Gettysburg tight. On Tuesday night, much
against the will of parents and friends,
they were married. The next day he began
to look after some workmen to paint and
paper his new father-in-law's house. His
bargain with the painters was fair, showing
plenty of greenbacks, and offering to pay
down on fulfillment of the contract. He
looked at number of fine residences, but
failed to strike a bargain. In conversation
with the Clergyman he stated that he had
lost OH Main street $500, but being strang-
er, and having already gained some notorie-
ty he would not advertise It, che did'not
care for the money! He claimed to be the
owner Of farm of 200 acres near Elmira.
Friday afternoon Mr.. officer, who had al
ready assumed two or three names, procu-
red 4 carriage and horses of Mr.. Sweeney,
Of the Eagle, and rode out, but did not re-

turn MS per agreement. In the morning a
letter arrived for the bride, which was
opened by her parents and found to be from
her true correspondent, the owner of the
photograph. This document resulted in
sending Officers Clark and How in pursuit
of the team and deluded bride. At Canaan
daigua he was arrested, ironed and placed
in durance vile. The eyes of the late Miss
G. M. being opened, she upbraided him for
his deceit, and declared she would return
home, which she did. The young scamp
had to.be knocked down before he would
Weld. To Officer Clark he confessed he was
q deserter from the army, and wished him
to call the Provost Marshal, preferring to
fall into his hands. ~
Officer Clark deemirg 1t proper to notify
the Provost, did so. During the few min
utes' absence, the prisoner had wrenched
off his irons, and burnt such papers In his
possession as he thought proper. He is GER
tainly most accomplished villain. The
affair has caused much excitement. 1t is
due the parents of the misguided young
lady, to say that they were opposed to the
iiasty marriage, and Insisted on o weeks
time, but the couple were determined, and
threatened going somewhere else to have
the ceremony consummated, and fearing that
would make the affair more ridiculous,
they reluctantly and tearfully consented.
