The KISSING DEACoE.-In one CT our
New England towns lived Deacon Brown.
a staid, dignified sort of christian, and
= model of propriety. Deacon Brown had
the misfortune to lose his wife and at
the age of forty found himself with a
family of fot,.r small children, without a
mistress to his Ia. rm-house. AS he could
not Immediately take another wife and
avoid exciting scandal, anG could not
get along without some one to take
charge of his kitchen and nursery, he
had recourse to employ young woman
as housemaid. Nancy Stearns was
laughing, romping beauty, who delight
ed in experimenting upon the Deacon by
way of testing the strength of human
nature. For long time the Deacon was
invulnerable; but at last, in moment
of unguarded weakness, he was led into
temptation, and into committing
slight "indiscretion" with his beautiful
house-maid When in his wonted cool
ness and presence of mind, he was horri-
fed at the enormity of his sin. In vain
he repented and grieved over lost vir-
tue. Finally, as last effort for reliev-
ing his conscience, at the conclusion Of
the services on the following Sabbath
morning he arose and requested the at
tention of the brethren and sisters for
few moments, when he electrified them
by making the following confessio
My Christian friends you all know
l lost my dear wife some months ago,
[sobs and tears, ] ard that Nancy Stearns
has been keeping house for me: and Won
all know that / have a little child not a
year old. Well, that little child would
cry III the night, and it would be long
time before / could quiet it; and last
Tuesday-God forgive me THE child
cried so hard that Nancy arose and
came into the room, and leaned over the
bed to hush the child-and brothers
and sisters, her leaning over me made
me forget Christi"
Here the worthy Deacon broke down
entirely, and stood weeping, waiting
and blowing his nose.
What did you do 2" sternly demand
ed the minister.
Ill ki-kissed herl" stammered
out the Deacon between his sobs, but
| have been very sorry about 1t, and
prayed to be forgiven-and want Won
to forgive me and prey for me brothers
and sisters"
AS the Deacon bowed himself upon
his seat like the mighty oak before the
tornado, Deacon Goodfellow arose, and
astonished the audience still more, by
saying:
Brothers and sisters you have heard
what brother Brown has said, and how
he wants our forgivness. For my part,
i think brother Brown is truly penitent,
and | am willing to forgive him with
my whole heart. And, brothers and
sisters, Will add still further, that, If
had no wife, and pretty girl like Nam
ey Stearns should come into nay room,
and lean over my bed, I'd kiss her, and
abide the consequences I"

LEE CALLS PoR ARMs.--From general
order dated Headquarters Army of Nor
thern Virginia, Jan. 25th, 1865, we make
the following extracts
To the patriotic need make no other
appeal than the wants Of the service
but beg to remind those who are re-
luctant to part with the arms and equip
ments in their possession, that by keep
ing them, they diminish the ability OF
the army to defend their property, with
out themselves receiving any benefit
from them, l therefore urge all persons
not in the service to deliver promptly
to some of the officers designated below
such arms and equipments especially
those suitable for cavalry as they may
have, and to report to those officers the
names of such persons as neglect to sur
reader those in their possession. While
no valid title can be acquired to public
arms and equipments except from the
government, 1t is reported that many
persons have ignorantly purchased them
from the private parties. A fair com
pensation will therefore be made to all
who deliver such arms and equipments
to any ordnance officer commanding at
a post, officers and agents of the quar-
termaster and commissary departments,
at any station, or officers in the enroll
! ing service or connected with the Nitre
and Mining Bureau. All connected with
the army are directed to receive and re-
! ceipt for all arms and equipments, what
! ever their condition, and forward the
! same, with a duplicate receipt, to the
| Ordnance Department at Richmond, and
report their proceedings to these head
quarters. The person holding the re-
Ceipt will be compensated upon present,
ing it to the Ordnance Bureau. While
it is hoped that no one will disregard
this appeal, all officers connected with
the army are required, and all Others
are requested, to take possession Of any
public arms and equipments they may
find in the hands of persons unwilling
to surrender them to the service of the
country, and to give receipts therefor
A reasonable allowance for their ex
pense and trouble will be made to such
patriotic citizens as will collect and de
liver to any Of the officers above desig
mated such arms and equipments as they
may find in the hands Of persons not II
the service, or who will report thu
same to those officers. A prompt com
pliance with this call will greatly pro
mote the efficiency and strength Of tn
army, particularly of the cavalry, anf
Gnu .sr1sr II better able to protect the horn :,
and property Of tGcc people from out
rage.

REPRESENTATION BASED ON VOTERS
The proposition Of Senator Sumner foG
amending the constitution so as to base
representation on voters instead Of pop
ulation, is sustained by very good rea-
sons. Only three-tifths of the slaves are
counted in the representative popula-
ton of the South now, but after slavery
ends each slave will count one, and thus
the representation Of the Southern
States will be increased. If the whites
there refuse the suffrage to the negroes
they themselves will have greater polit-
ical power than ever before. If only the
voters are counted. as the basis Of repre-
sentation, according to Mr.. Summers
plan, # will be a strong inducement to
g.'.te the right to vote to the negroes, ioI
the sake of the additional power. II 1t
is refused the southern states will have
less power than before if granted, much
greater. The measure is sagacloHs al
well as just.
