A Kiss Before Parting.

The following incident is said to have
recently caused some amusement in the
London fashionable circles: =
A lady of distinction, the Marchioness
of Finsbury, lately spent more than an
iour in music store in Regent street,
buying all the pieces of music with SEN
timental title that she could find. When
she had finished her purchases, and was
already on the threshold of the door. she
paused moment with hesitating air.
The clerk, who had assiduously waited on
so good customer, stepped forward and
asked her if she wished for anything else.
The marchioness made. an effort to collect
her thoughts, and turned back, fixing her
beautiful eyes on the face of the clerk,
who blushed to the ears.
81 had quite forgotten one thipg," said
she, in voice that seemed tremulous.
"l don't know what is the matter with
me today. came back to ask you if"
She made short pause, as if to sum-
mon up her courage. Meanwhile the
clerk, pulling up his falso collar, leaned
gracefully on the counter and bent for.

81 came back" continued the marchio-
ness, ask if you would be good enough
to give me KISS before parting 2"
"My LADY," exclaimed the astonishcd
clerk.
81 desire that you should give me a
kiss before porting" repeated the marchio-
ness, with a deliberate cir, fixing her
eyes on the clerk, who seemed turned
into stone. Without betraying the least
emotion she repeated the request for the
third time saying, "if you cannot give it
TO me to.day will call some other time"
The clerk, INTOXICATED with joy at the
hasty thought that the beautiful marchio.
ness had taken sudden fancy for him,
did not wait for any further entreaties,
but, springing over the counter, threw his
arms around the waist of his fair custo-
mer, and impressed the asked-for kiss
upon her cheek. To his surprise his sole
response was blow in the face from the
parasol Of the marchioness, who began
to shrek wildly, and did not cease until
three policemen rushed into the shop and
took the wondering clerk into custody.
The affair was explained the next day in

Farmers Clubs.

A writer cited in the Southern Planter
and Farmer, remarks that Farmers scat
tered over the country, occupy themselves
too CONSTANTLY with physical labor. "Too
much muscular exercise wearies the body
and indisposes the mind to exertion.
Tho Farmer has too long regarded his
calling as physical mission, requiring
little or no effort Of the mind, but con-
slant tension f@the muscle. Anything
which should induce them to congregate
together socially would be great bles-
sing, but still more 50, when this meeting
is for the purpose of comparing notes
upon their occupation.
1t would surprise body of Farmers
who have never tried it, to find how much
knowledge could be gained upon almost
any subject connected with agriculture,
from twenty-five average Farmers, who
should each contribute the facts he knew
relating to it. Perhaps, no one of the
twenty-five would be able 9 give more
than few facts concerning the topic yet
when each had contributed what he knew,
the subject might be thoroughly elucida.
ted and easily understood. When they
come together no one fully understands
the subject, but when the discussion is
over every one might carry away full
knowledge of it.
And this leads us to speak of the proper
method of conducting the Farmers Clubs.
First, there should be as little formality
and as few rules as possible. consistent
with good order. Select man of prompt
decision and of few words for chairman,
and the most ready writer as secretary.
Avoid set speeches and prepared disserta-
tions. You come together to communi.
cate facts and not to display rhetoric. 1t
should be meeting for free and Informal
interchange of ideas in the conversational
way. This will be found much better
and more profitable than debate. You
cannot we'll debate question without the
disputants becoming interesting for tri-
umph in argument-for the success Of q
side-and this is not the object in discus
sion. The object should be to gain knowl-
edge, to accumulate facts on which to
base right decision and not to display
ability in argument, to the triumph in
disputation. Suppose the question were
the "best time to cut wheat?" 1t is obvi-
GUS that welI.attested experiments bearing
upon this subject would be necessary to
determine it. Every one who could give
any fact showing the effect of cutting
wheat at peculiar stage of growth would
assist in calculating it. One could per-
haps give the effect upon rust, cutting
wheat while green showing the quality of
the grain to be little injured by it; an
other cut it when ripe, and the rust had
ruined the grain; another states that he
cut before ripe, when no rust appeared,
and found the berry plump and got a
larger proportion of flour per bushel
than when he had cut on full ripen-
ing. And thus one after another gives
his experience upon all sides of this ques-
ton, until the facts render its solution
clear"

Nigh million of lives We have spent
And three billions of dollars or more,
That each fettcr in twain should be rent,
And tho slave-horr be heard never more;
Full six years we have given to the Black,
And therthing was undoubtedly right
Now suppose, just to alter the track;
We devote half an hour to the White.
When the South, in its hour of mad pride,
At Fort Sumter let drive the first shot,
Neck and heels our poor Sambo was tied,
And the North held one end of the knot:
But our holdwe let go at the sound,
For both hands we required in the fight;
And the war for tue Black was then found
Quite tough job of work for the White.
Well, We fought; aye, for four years we fought
Pouring out lavish treasure and life
Did the Black then arise as he ought,
Cleaving Northward with torch and with knife
All his masters were far from his track,
Under Johnson and Lee in the fight;
There was nothing to hold the Black back
Did he aid us when bleeding we stood
To chase from him slavery's dreams,
Or o Lee sent he clothing and food,
Harness, powder, equipments and teams!
We all know that in one single State
A revolt would have ended tho fght-
So no more OF their "loyalty pirate"
Fur the Black rebs>were worse than the White.
The White rebels came with cheer,
Their bayonets aAant and aglOw,
While the Black rebels skunk in the.rear,
Assisting land freely our foe.
Phillips, Sumner, and men of that school,
May cick-clatter from morning till night;
But if Black or White rebels must rule,
Then, by Heaven count me in for the White
1t would scken dog. this vile can't
That We hear of Black Loyalty" now
And notice the twaddlers who rant
On the subject, were far from the row;
But since cold has been Lees latest gun,
And since johnson stacked arms after tight,
We are told "by D4ck valor we WON
IT'S all humbug to laurel the White!
To the Black Rebel glory and power,
To the White rebels chains and disgrace
oh, madness, and worse, rules the hour
We are false to faith, wisdom and race!
To my heart with you, Longssreet and Hill,
johnson, Lee-eyery man in the lightA
You were rebels, and bad ones, but still,
You.sharc my misfortuue-yOu're White.
