CAN THERE ,BEHARM IN KISSING?

The waters kiss the pebbly shore;
The winds all kiss the hills;
The sunbeams kiss the tulip bud
For the odor it distills.
The dewdrops kiss the rose at morn,
The .cereus dew at eve;
The fern md flower, in circling clasp,
In mystic beauties weave, s
The moonbeams kiss the cloud at night,
The star gems kiss the sea; 49,
While shadows, dreamy, soft.
Are kissing on the lea.
The zephyrs,kiss the budding pink, a'8.
That blooms onibeauty's lip, q 1al
And ruder blasts, though cold and chill,
It's ruby nectar sip. SEA af4;s
Tho winds, the waves, the budding flowers
The laughing, merry rills, So, : -
Are kissing all, from morn till eve, q
& And clouds still kiss the hills 9is.s
Even heaven and earth do meet to kiss,
Through tears OF sparkling dew.
In kissing then, can there be harm?
] don't think so-do you?

The lecture delivered by Proi. Smart
at the Court Room on last Friday night
was largely attended, As the Prof made
. fling at our sxteInporaneous discourse
before the Club, two weeks before, we
feel justified .n referring to his lecture
But whether lecture, the tendency and
result of which will inevitably strengthen
aud increase skepticism and infdelity, is
more appropriate before the rising gen.
Grafton than practical discourse, the
object and effect Of which is to lengthen
life, and render it more happy, Chris
tian public must Judge.
Mr.. Smart did not state what he was
aiming at in his lecture, but it appeared
to be an effort to prove that. the flood
mentioned in the Bible did not cover the
whole earth, as is there most pOsitireh,
and erpkealy stated, He admitted that
a plain man, reading the Bible account
must conclude that the flood covered the
whole earth. lie claimed that the un-
derstanding of the Bible record of this
event, bya plain man, when compared
with the evidences Of Geology, must
necessarily lead to infdelity4 Wemust
suppose that Mr.. Smart meant that he,
or some other learned man, or some
Priest, ought to interpret the Bible for
the ignorant. But Mr.. Smart claimed
that therewas really no conflict between
the Bible account and geological eyi-
dence. l<,ot 5gqac dj aolss9Y.
We did not discover much originality
in this lecture. We thought we had
seen the same ideas advanced, and al
most the same language in the writings
OF Sir Charles Lyell, Lamarck, and 9th
ers. The language chosen was fine,
the enunciation distinct, and the elocu-
tlon almost faultless. We noticed one
or two errors, and will call the speakers
attention to them, that he may avoid
them in the future. He used the. word
indisputable six times, and every time
accented it on the third syllable--indis-
putablea This iscontrary to all analogy,
and the express authority of Webster
1t is always pronounced iudisputable,
with the accent on the second syllable
We noticed him use the expression
shave sprang." This may have been a
slip Of the tongue, as it was used but
once. In giving this word, Webster
says: "Spring, vi.i pret. sprung,
(sprang, not wholly obsolete;) PIP.
sprung" by thisitappears that sprang
is not very good, even as pret., but
nerer as PIP.
In conclusion we must say that taken
all through, the lecture was good one,
and we'll delivered. neW Hlc

NE(aRO NUFFRAGE.

The HillsborO Negs says that the
Jackson STANDARD and the Georgetown
Union are the only country papers in
Southern Ohio that have come out in
favor of submitting the question ol
negro suffrage to the people of Ohio at
the next election. While the Ncos il
in favor of the measure, it thinks that
the people will vote it down, and thus
delay the matter, perhaps for years,
We do not see why this should be the
case. 1t can be submitted to a vote Of
the people every year. We are not SO
certain that the people would vote it
down at this time. There is no reason
