SIGNS OF A FAILING SPIRIT Some of the Rich
mond papers try to encourage their readers with
the assurance that 70 the North y is discouraged.
respondent, desperate, ready to give up the con-
test, willing to try but once more, but if beaten
this time then PROSTATE at the feet OF the rebels.
We present to these journals few of the signs
of the failing spirit of the North, in order that
they may convince their readers of what other
wise they might not believe. And first amongst
them is this, that we have at this time more
numerous army in the field than ever before. 1t
is well known that large armies are sure sign
of dependency and weakness in those who raise
and feed them. Then again, we are so weak, so
faint Of heart, so disprited, so ready to surren-
DER to the rebels, that the Western Governors
have just provided an additional force of one
hundred thousand men. to serve for a hundred
days-that is to say, during the summer cam
paign. None but thoroughly cowed and ex-
haustcd people would do this-whch accounts
for the fact that the rebels do not do it. Then
again, so discouraged and disguised with the
war are the women in the West that they have
actually determined to serve clerks in the
shops and stores. in order that the young men
may serve in the field. The Richmond Enquirer
ought to make special note Of this plain sign
of discouragement. Lastly, societies of women
forming in the East, bound to dress in home
spun, to avoid all extravaganza, and to encour-
age by every means, by influence and example,
industry and rigid economy. This must be held,
also, 10 denote WEAKNESS of the war. altogether,
it is very evident that the North is tired of the
war; and the truth is it means to put an end to
it this year.-N. Y. Eeeniag Post

Most leading journals of this city to-day devote
several Columns to exceedingly interesting
official communications from Secretary Seward
to Senate, relative to feasibility and great advan-
tage to result to country from projected Interna-

WASHINGTON, 10th.-A rebel dispatch from

consternation in Respectable Family.

We regret to say that through the laundering
of a country cousin, one of the first families of
Boston was recently thrown into state of con-
sternation and Indignation which it is impossible
to describe. For while serious consequences
were apprehended, but after proper restoratives
were applied and proper explanations made, the
family were enabled to eat their meals with the
accustomed regularity and relish. The misun-
derstanding caused in a singular manner,
and can, in some measure, be attributed to the
number of military heroes who lately infest the
city
1t seems that the cousin who caused the trouble
is native of Vermont, and now on visit to an
uncle in that city. One evening during the re-
cent spell of cold weather, the only daughter of
the house, a lady of seventeen, whose delcacy
is a part OF her nature, and whose mind is en-
tirely above earthly things, with the exception
of the opera, new dresses and carriage, re-
marked one evening in the presence of her cousin
and her family, without a word of warning,
that she was fearful Of freezing if she went to
bed.
Her mother about to utter some expression
of consolation, when the cousin (rudc that he
was) remarked in a loud tone, so loud that every
one heard him:
"Why don't you take major to bed with
you? ?"
There faint Shrek, and Henrietta was
observed to fall senseless the plush sofa. Her
careful manner in which her crinolinc was ad-
justed.
q Wretch y cried the father, 'you have muir
dered my daughter with your vulgarity.''
{. Monster y exclaimed the mother u how
could you and such delicate nerves as she has
too

full look, q didn't mean"
q Silence, sir y cried the brother, who had
attempted to obtain a commission as Brigadier
General and failed only because he once belonged
to q home guard, and knew, therefore too much
about military affairs.
No, sir, we will not, cried the enraged pa
rents. - y man that recommends my daughter
to --'
q But didn't mean it, screamed the Yankee
but no attention was paid to his words
'' She revves-she revives-the shock has not
killed her. the doting mother said bending
over her child and kissing her.
:! 1t was a cruel blow. but you must bear up,
darling"
q Darnaton, won't somebody listen to me ~
cried the Vermonter. ~ don't mean that Hen.
should sleep with real live Major-one of them
malicious officers. l wanted her to do as our
gals do cold nights. They heat bricks and nut
to their feet, and caH them MAJORS. That what
| mean, and what's the use of fuss about it.
that's what want to know
q seems that we are laboring under mis-
take" said the head of the family - but when
there young ladies in the room wouldn t
mention such things. The young ladies of the
city are too delicate for such vulgar names''
The Eermonter promised to be more careful in
future, and the family are doing we'll.

The SCIENCE OF kIssEs.-An ingenious writer.
who has bestowed years of intense reflection and
active research upon the subject, has completed
the following highly scientific classification - |
have found" he says, - that there are only
three regular kisses properly so-ealled); and
these may be denominatcd the kiss negative the
first negative, consists in kissing lady s
her cheek and the third, or superlative, con-
sists in kissing her lips. There are besides two
auxiliary kisses, viz, the kiss passive, such az
is inflicted by old maiden aunts, nurses, and
grandmothers; and the kiss active, in use, prin-
cipally, on the Gretna Green road per CLAIMANT
noreiH sposio. The first, the kiss passive, is
generally declined by the kissee whilst the lat
ter, the kiss active, kisser and kissee vary in
number as well as in gender. Independent of
the preceding regular and auxiliary kisses, there
are, for the convenience of society, Il few super
numerary or irregular ones, such the inciden-
tall or stage kiss the petty larceny, or stolen
kiss F.; the mutual. or reciprocity kiss the sly,
don tell kiss the cooling, or a la tourfereiie
kiss ; the honeymoon, or bridal kiss the merry
or laughing-gas kiss; the echo, or percussion
kiss the semi-angry, or pouting kiss; the hys-
terc, or humbug kiss the wheeling, chegne
kiss and the harley-sugar en- pGpitiote; which
two kisses are successfully practised by youngish
wives on oldish husbands, in order to raise the
requisite supplies" So far our author and it
will, we think, be generally conceded that he
has made a very satisfactory classification
Well why not? Kisses are better than beetles,
and they are q science.

The vsrnal rains were FILLING fast,

The vernal rains were falling fast,
As through western village passed
youth. who bore Il hickory pole,
And oxen under his control,
Idaho
His brow was glad, his eyes were bright,
Nor to the left nor to the right
He turned. but kept With steady course
And shouted till his voice vas hoarse,
Idalo
He left his happy huIne by night
And towards the left he took his fight;
Above the moon in beauty shone,
And from his lips escaped groau.
Idaho
You'd better stay some old man said
You'll surely lose your wits or your head
The stormy prairie's long and wide,
But loud that headstrong youth replied,
Idaho
Beware of swindlers, cheats and thieves,
Beware OF those who would deceive;
This was the old mans last advice.
To whom the youth said in a trice
Idaho
At length the barren plains he reached,
His bread most gone, his form well bieached;
But still he sroaned that fervent prayer,
Which did not go far through the air.
Idaho
A traveller on the Plains was found
Flat as a pancake OH the ground
Still clinging to his hickory pole
And on the ground could scarcely roll
Idaho
There by the diggings cold and gray,
Lifele5s and penniless he lay
And could he speak you'd hear him say
Himtug!

THE hat passed around in certain con-
gregation for the purpose of taking up collec-
ton. After it had made the circuit of the
church, it was handed to the minister, who, by
the by. had changed pulpits with the regular
pastor, and found not penny in it. He inverted
the hat over the pulpit cushion and shook it,
that its emptiness might be known, then raising
his eyes toward the ceiling, he exclaimed with
great feryor, q thank God that have got back
my hat from this congregation

precarious living the extremity of life because

over hundred different things, and abandoned
