s.DIH IN THE LAST DITcH. "A contribu-
tor to Philadelphia paper says that the
above expression, which has become 50 fa-
vorite in the South, originated with Will
liam Of Orange. When Lord Buckingham
urged the inevitable destruction which
hung over the United Provinces, and ask
ed him whether he did not see that the
commonwealth was ruined, "Phere is one
certain means" replied the prince, "by
which / can never see my country's ruin
/ will die in the last ditch" The above may
be found in Hume's History Of England,
1872.

MesslS Editors In an old number of the baltimore
County Advocate, find the following poetry 1t re-
minds ME of departed joys andI would ask you to
publish it. The author purports to be Josie 3 Hunt,
and ii strange that lady of such marked talent has
not since been heard from Perhaps She died in the
transport Of such kiss. G.
you KISSED Mel
You kissed me Ny head had dropped low your breast,
With feeling of shelter and infinite rest;
And holy emotion my tongue dared not speak,
Flashed up, like flame, from my heart to my cheek
Your arms held me fast--oh. your so bold,
Heart beat against heart in their passionate hold.
Your glances seemed drawing my soul thrO any eyes.
As the sin draws the mist from the TO the skies,
And your lips chung to mine till prayed in my bliss
They might never uncasp from that raptorous kiss
You kissed mel my heart and NY breath, and my viii
In delirious joy for the moment stood STILL
life had for me then temptations-no charms
No vista of pleasure outside of your arms;
And were this instant all angel, possessed
OF the glory and peace that are given the best
would fling my white robes unrepiningly down,
And tear from my forehead its beautiful crown,
To nestle more in that heaven ofrest,
With your lips upon mine and ray head Oh your breast
You kissed mel my soul in bliss divine,
Reeled and swooned like foolish iaau drunken with
And thought twere delicious to die then, if death
Would come while my mouth was yet moist with your
breath; 3S
'Twere delicious to die If my heart might grow cold
While your wrapped nue. round in that passionate
fold.
And these are the ques tions ask day and night:
Must my life taste but such exquisite delight?
Would you care if your breast my shelter asthen!
And If you were here, would you kiss me again
If the fair author meant as, would cmphatical]y
answer yes the last question No lady write such
poetry without realizing sense of the cxqusit sweet
ness of her subject.-EDs.]
