morning turned to this article, and was met by
the query: "Is there no barn in Guilfordf"
I'VE know an editor who, not long since, dis
cussing the European question, wrote: "The
Pope might as we'll try to stand on the beach and
try to keep out the Mediterranean with that pitch
fork, protest against the cession Of venetia to
VICTOR EMANUEL" He was not little sur
prised TO read himself thus; "The Pope might as
well stand on his back, and try to trip up the Medi

KISSED BY MISTAKE.

"Will you be at home tonight, Het-
ty p" and the speaker, tall, muscular,
well looking young farmer, reddened to
the roots Of his hair, as though he had
committed some very wicked act instead
of asking simple question.
He was bashful, extremely so was
Josiah Hawley, at least in the presence
of young ladies-most of all in hepres-
ence of the girl he loved No young
farmer in all the country possessed a
better kept farm, or talked with more
confidence, among his compeers, of stock
and crops, and on kindred subjects =
But the glimpse Of one pretty face, or
foot, coming 10 his direction, affected
him like flash of lightning. On such
occasions he never knew what to do
with his hands and eyes, and always felt
like screwing himself into mouse-hole.
How he ever contrived to approach
Hester Thomas on the subject of his
preference for her. probably remains to
this day as much mystery to him as it
is to others.
But that young lady had quite an
amount of tact and cleverness slowed
away somewhere in her pretty little
head, albeit it was set on the dimpled,
inexperienced. shoulders of seventeen
Josiah was worth, in worldly way,
much more than any of her other suit
ors; good-looking and intelligent enough
to satisfy any but an over fastidious
person; unexceptionable, in short, bar
ring his excessive bashfulness, which
was fruitful source of merriment
among the young people in their little
circle. Aud so, when Josiah, in his
awkward, blundering way, began to ex-
hibit his preference for her in various
little ways, such as waiting on her to
and from singing school, constituting
himself her escort, when she rode on
horseback to the solitary church in the
woods, and singing her out at quilting
parties, Hetty took it all in the easiest,
pleasantest manner possible. The girls
laughed, and the young men cracked
sly Jokes at the expense OF her timid
suitor; but Hetty stood up for him in
ependently-encouraged him out of
shyness-never noticed any unfortunate
blunder-and very likely helped him
along considerably when his feelings
reached the ''culminating point one
moonlight, Autumn evening, as they
were walking home togetherfrom prayer
meeting. That was week ago. Hetty
had said .'yes," and agreed to "bring
father and mother around on the SUBJ
ject." .
Josiah had not been to the house
|since-probably feeling very much like
a dog venturing upon the premises of a
person whose sheep-fold he had just
plundered. As yet neither had had
the courage to speak to the 'reigning
powers" on the subject; and Hetty,
feeling as if she wanted to put the or
deal off as long as possible, at any rate
to have one more confidential talk with
him on the subject, said:
"Mother is g,ing over to Aunt
Ruth's to spend the evening, and wants

AS have watched him many a day,
In gold behind the hills go down,
Gliding with splendor all the way;
l shall not see him set again
Yet this shall not know cen then.
Some night, know, the shades will gather
The dusky shadows deeper grow,
The silent stars come out together,
The last that shall see below;
No voice from out that distant sky
Will warn me that my end is nigh.
Some Spring-time shall mark the trees
Grow daily greener DER my head,
And in the Autumn shall feel
1he dead leaves rustic meath my tread,
Nor know next Autumn's winds shall come
10 strew the dry leaves on my tomb.
Yet there will be darkened room,
And they will catch my faintest breath,
And silence and gathering gloom
Will fall from off the wings of Death;
l shall not hear the muffled tone,
The silent whisper, He is gone!"
But when this last sad change shall come,
Is hidden from us-and it's best;
If be ready for my home,
1t matters not how soon I rest;
Death will be but the end of sorrow-
Dawn of an endless, heavenly morrow.

THE BoTrLE-Young man, run
your arm into an adder's den, Ilace a
rattlesnake IN your bosom, chew the
berries of hellebore, but leave that bot
tie alone. Though the liquor may glow
like molten rubies, thongh its beads
sparkle like diamonds or amber, though
the gods may have drank it, and poets
embalmed it in immortal verse, though
its aroma may be pleasant as the spice
kissing breeaes of "Araby the Blest,''
yet avoid it as you would the spotted
leprosy. Its ruby and diamond and
amber hues are the false lights of the
souls wreckers, and its sweet aroma is
the breath of siren who will surely
allure you to destruction. Each drop
contains a devil, and in drinking ye
quaff the fires of hell. Avoid the bowl,
if ye would not perish.

PEACE OF SLEEp.-The peace of sleep
is nearly as beautiful as the peace Of
death-nearly as beautiful as that un-
utterable calm whose placidity awes us
when we sob over our lost ones, and
compels us to pause in our weeping, and
gaze on the face whose many changes
were so familiar and so dear; yearning
for break in that calm, and a quiver
in that strange, set smile, something
that shall seem human and sympathetic
something we know not what, that
will not freeze US with such intense con-
viction that the smiles, and tears, and
sunshine and shadow of earth's emotion
are over, and that which we loved has
passed away to the world where there is
no more change.

O'Dowd on Promiscuous Bathing.
People meet for ths first time in

People meet for the first time in cir
cumstances of such mingled absurdity
and freedom, that, all the usual re-
straints of society withdrawn, they have
to take up code of behavior to suit salt
water, and to be relinquished as soon as
the persons have resumed their clothes.
That is to say, that between a lady in
wet drapery, and gentleman dressed
a la Gab0on, score of pretty little fa-
miliarities are practicable that would
not be tolerated for moment when the
respective parties get back to clothes.
So that, however shocking at first to
your feelings, you will at last reconcile
yourself to the fact that the nymph with
whom you have disported like a river
god half the morning, or the siren over
whose first swimming lessons you have
presided, lending hand in the most
literal sense to her first founderings,
will cut you dead when she has recov-
cred her crinoline and resumed her
pork-pie. 1t is in vain you ask your
self, how is this !? how has that young
hoyden with whom you romped in the
rough sea not more than an hour back,
stiffened into glacier of propriety on
shore !? Is there some subtle chemistry
in sea-water? Can it be that those phos-
pilates and sulphates exert some extraor-
dinary magnetic influence over the nerv-
GUS system? or are we really such crea-
lures of clothes, as Mr.. Carlyle says,
and is all our civilization matter of
some yards of a textile fabric, without
which we are Fijis or Fauns, or any
thing else as primitive Are we, in one
word, SO artificial that all our thoughts,
and looks, and words, are regulated by
our dress? and are we only natural
when we have next to none on US? If
this were the case, what inestimable
benefit would the recognition of the fact
confer on humanity How much more
swimmingly-I am not punning-
courtship would go on, where the part
les had divested themselves of their re-
serves, along with their garments, and
came forth in all the candor of bath
ing dress! What an effect it would have
in court, if, by any mischance, broken
pledges should tad to a legal redress,

At the trials once encountered,
Look ahead, and never mind"
What is past is past forever;
Let all the fretting be resigned;

Do your best, and "never mind"
And if those who might befriend you,
Whom the ties of nature bind,
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven, and "never mind.
Friendly words are often spoken
When the feelings are unkind;
Take them for their real value,
Pass them by, and "never mind"
Fate may threaten, clouds may lower.
Enemies may be combined;
If your trust in God is steadfast,
He will help you, "never mind"

leaf in its beak, as token of emerging
life, beyond the closely bending hori-
izon. The great sun comes and goes in

the ETHEREAL wilderness The crescent
moon cleaves her nightly passage across
the upper deep, but tosses overheard no
signals. The sentinel stars challenge
each other as they walk their nightly
rounds, but we catch no syllable of their
countersign which gives passage to the
heavenly camp Between this and the
other life there is great gulf fixed,
across which neither foot nor eye can
travel. The friend whose eyes we clos
ed in their last sleep long years ago,
died with rapture in her wonder-strick-

her lips, and hands folded over tri-
