vi pleasant. chattering, good humored
~ y traveller, who, like myself was awaiting
the morning train from Galena. We
!, ,.cesoonlyersed pleasantly and freely upon
several topics. until, seeing two ladies
~ meet and kiss each other on the street,
the conversation turned upon kissing
Just about the time the train was ap-

subject, let DIS have practical appli-
cation. II will make proposition to
you. ! will agree. to kiss the most
beautiful lady ii the train from GaIena,
you being the Judge, if you will kiss
the next prettiest, I being the judge"
's1 The proposition staggered me lit
81 tie, and i could hardly tell whether
he was in earnest or in fun but as
d he would be as deep in it as | posi-
bly, could be, I agreed, provided be

= heart failed me somewhat, as saw
his black eyes sparkle with daring.
snYes,D said he, 81 will try it first.
You take the back car, and 60 in from
the front end, where you can see the
faces Of the ladies, and stand by the
one you think the handsomest, and
IN come in from behind and kiss her."

car.when | saw at the first glance one
Of the loveliest women my eyes ever
fell on-a beautiful blonde, with au-
burn hair, and bright snnny face,
full of love and sweetness, and as ra-
radiant as the morning. Any further
search was totally unnecessary. 1
Immediately took my stand 10 the
aisle Of the car by her side. She was
looking out of the window earnestly,
as If expecting some one. The back
door of the car opened, and in step

finger slyly at her, never dreaming
that he dare carry out his pledge, and
you may imagine my amazement when
he stepped up. quickly behind and
kissed her with relish that made
nv mouth water. | expected, Of
course, a shrek of terror and then
row generally, and a knock down;
but Judge of my astonishment when !
saw her return the kisses with COM
pound interest. Quick as flash he
turned to me and said
"Now, sir. it is your turu," pointing
to a ,hideously ugly, wrinkled old wo-
man who sat 10 the seat behind him.
s.s .'You must excuse me y | ex-
claimed. "I'm sold this time, give,
it up. Do tell me who You have
been kissing?" And we all burst To-

NUMBER III!
Connecticut Constitution.

The Legislature of Connecticut has fixed upon
the I'd OF October for the people to vote for and
against an amendment to the Constitution ofthe
State, striking out the word "white' so as to
permit negroes, muattoes and Indians to yotel
1t is said the Republicans have decided in eau
Gus to make regular canvass in favor Of the
amendment, and TO send out speakers to instruct
their people to vote yes and to satisfy them that
it is a good thing to establish negro equality,
and to allow an African to vote, while their
wives and daughters are not allowed to cast a
ballot. All this sounds queerly, coming from
the very party which, only few years since was
moving the heavens and the earth of their little
Nutmeg State to convince the people that if the
Irish and Dutch were to be permitted to contin-
ue voting the country would, from this cause,
be driven to destruction. And then, to show
the earnest men of that section were sincere in
their belief, few Catholic churches were burned
in proof thereof This atter-day move has one
merit in it, however, and that is consistency.
1t is altogether right that, while theysare deter
mined to force negro suffrage upon others, they
should first swallow the dose themselyes.-St'

The Village blacksmith.


Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smthy stands;
The smith m ighty man is he,
With large and snewy hands;
And the muscles of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron hands.
His hair is crisp, and black and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whatever he can,
And looks the whole world in the face
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love TO see the flaming forge,
And hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from a threshing floor.
He goes on Sunday to church,
And sits among his boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach,
lie hears his daughters voice,
Singing il the village choir.
And it makes his heart rejoice.
1t sounds to him like her mothers voice,
Singing in Paradise!
He needs mnst think of her once more,
How in the grave she lies;
And with his hard rough hand he wipes
A tear out Of his eyes.
Toiling-reioicing- -sorrowing,
Onward through life he goes;
Each morning sees some task begun,
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a nights repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend,
For the lesson thou hast taught!
Thus at the flaming forge of life
Our fortunes must be Wrought;
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped,
Each burning deed and thought.

FAITH EXTRAORDINARY In Zanesville; Ohioj
there are many colored people, who live by bar
bering and other light work. They have their
own church and an ebony minister, of which
they are very proud. One cold evening, in the
time of a great revival, the minister making
a powerful disquistion on 'Faith, the groans
and sobs Of his hearers giving token of its effect
upon their impressible natures. The tears stood
upon his own dark cheeks, his voice quiyered
like distant thunder, while he emphasized his
words by vigorous blows upon the table. In
the midst of this, the stove rolled over on the
floor. Brother Lewis a high man in the church I,
near by, stood rresolute, when the minister ex-
claimed-"Pick up dc stove, brudder lewis, de
Lord won'tlet it burn you" Brother Lewis
grabbed the stove but dropped it Immediately,
and turning his reproachful eyes to the disciple
of faith exclaimed, 'fDe he'll he wont r.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer gives an a6-
count of the seduction of lady of an interi-
or county Of Kentucky, who is now in that
city. She is one of the victims of cores
pondence with zone of Uncle Sans gay and
festive boys" and now that she has fallen
from innocence, is leading life ofinfamy and
shame. Her case is probably only one out
of thousands; and now that the war is over

A LAWYERS FEB.-A capital story is told of
a conviyial lawyer, who lived in the last centu-
~. He was in the habit of drinking hard over
night, so that when he appeared in court in the
morning he was not able to make very brill
liant display, and although a man of undoubted
ability, very often lost cases from his overnight
excesses. He was counse. on a most important
case, but on the morning of the trial it became
evident to the attorney that little good would be
got out of him. He leaned back in despair,
when a sudden idea struck him; and he FASTENED
out of court into the street, where he entered
several shops, changing sixpences into pennies,
and pennies into farthings. When he had got
between twenty and thirty of the latter, he put
them into bits of paper, entered the court just as
the advocate rose to speak, and put two into his
hand. The fingers closed over them, placed
them in the wastcoat pocket, and with change
observable to all, made full and clear explain
alton of the case. Whenever he showed any
symptoms of breaking down, the attorney was
ready with another refresher He won the case.
Leaving the court and going to a tavern with
one or two friends, be ordered refreshments,
and threw down in payment one Of the farth-
ings still wrapped in paper telling the waiter to
keep the change for himself. The astonish-
ment of the waiter on opening the paper was
only equaled by that of the advocate, who, in
stead Of finding himself in possession of a store
of guineas, had only farthings.

ANNEXATION IN CANADA late New York
letter to the San Francisco Bulletin says
The Provincial Parliament is now in session
at Quebec, and letters from that place indicate
a growing feeling among the Canadians in favor
of annexation to the United States. II is said
that one-third of the Parliamentary members
are in favor of it, and that all that is wanted to
carry the project through to success is a bold
and firm leader. The speech in the lower House
in response to the Goyernor-General' address
was particularly complimentary to the valor Of
the United States in war, and its strength and
power in peace, and was frequently greeted
with the English "Hear, hear P' exclamation
In the midst of the excitement and varying feel
ing, the Ministry have become somewhat
alarmed, and will, it is understood, abandon for
the present session both the confederation and
the frontier defenses scheme.

John S. Wallace, a merchant of Chicago, was
arrested recently for using revenue stamps two
or three times over on his warehouse receipts.
His manner of doing it was to put stamp on a
receipt and after it had been passed, tear it off
and use it again on another receipt. Numbers
of receipts were found in his desk with the
stamps off, and the stamps in an envelope. In
this way he confessed to having saved about
$35, which will probably cost him about $685.
900, the penalty for each offence being ST 900,
with the addition of Imprisonment. Wallace
offered S. 900 to the officer who arrested him if
he would let him off

A LONG JOURNEY AFTER WATER.-Some Of
the greatest successes in the lives of indiydd-
ais, are the achievements of temper. 1t is rela-
ted, that, three years ago, well off farmer Of
Springport, New York, had little alteration
with his wife, and while conversing with her,
took up pail to go for some water. His long
absence awakened the fears of his wife, who
suspected at once that he had made an end to
his life, by throwing him into the well. The
well was accordingly searched but the husband
was not found The friendly neighbors indus
triously sought for, but found no traces Of him.
Recently, while his family was at tea, the miss
ing husband walked into the room, with the pail
of water in his hand, put it in the usual place,
and sat down to the table, as if nothing had
happened. He had been gone just three years
after his pail of water, had visited California
and Australia, and had "turned up" again with
a nice little fortune in his pocket.

children to white schools. Negroes may be
witnesses against each other but not against
whites and any contract between a white and n
colored person shall be void unless made in

groes are subject to the same penalties for
crimes as whites, but rape committed by ne.

OPPOSED TO OATHs.-A correspondent

sir; mother always taught me never to
swear" said the girl. The agent mildly
persisted and the maiden as pertinaeiously
refused all attempts at persuasion, until
overcome at last by the dreadful conflict be-

duty she stammered out, with downcast
Ids "Well, sir, if you leiH make me do such
