A Kiss.

Let me kiss you for your mother,
For your sister, cousin, aunt,
Or somebody or other
Whom long to kiss and can't;
could wish my love beside me,
AS Eve you beside me now;
But the pleasure is denied ME.
30 Ill kiss you any how.
adore thee lady dearly,
Il assure you that do,)
Can you und' rstand me clearly,
That my kiss is not for youH
In your keeping | may leave it,
As another's-not your own;
So l beg you not receive it
. As gift, but as a loan.
You have silken yellow tresees,
While my loves are black as night
And your eyes---e'en love confesses
As dozen times as bright;
But l covet from another
What another cannot grant;
30 I'll kiss you for your mother,
Or your sister, cousin, aunt.

the Providence Press narates the
following Of an energetic woman: !
She was born a "lady," as the
world says. She had a loving father,
who spared no means to give her the
brilliant accomplishments of her sta
tion. She had troop of friends
gay dutterers around her beauty and
wealth. One she married, and rich
and imposing was the wedding. But
the married life run out Of course.
The husband, after spending the for
tune Of his wife in reckless living and
wildcat speculations, and involving
the father in disaster; after doing
this, and fretting her life away by
inches, elopcd one day, and left the
Joung mother of his child alone, with
his debts and disgrace, and her own
sad heart-alone, to work for her
living rs best she could, or starve, if
she could not work. The deserted
woman pined away at first, and shed
bitter tears, and became faded and
broken. One day she awoke to the
stern fact that she must work or
starve. She could not go back to her
father, and her pride kept her from
former friends. What did she do
In vain she told over her list of tai
, ents. Every chance seemed closed to
her. BY sewing she could not earn
enough to live on and pay tho rent.
Her music she had neglected after
marriage. The doting father had
given her ornament and froth in her
education-nothing by which she
could put hands to for support. At
this time a man said to her, "Come
down to my farm this season, and
work in the strawberry feldw Moth
ing but dire necessity made her go.
The man was kind to her, and made
the work light. All the season she
worked for him, and in the open air,
and with the plain, regular living, her
heart came back to her. She became
healthful and hopeful, as in former
days. Here was her chance. When
the season was over, she said to her
employer, "Tale me into your busi-
nessl I have shown what I can do.
My past life I shall drop. I will be-
come business woman p He thought
she was jesting at first: but she was
in earnest. Her offer was accepted.
For three years this woman acted as
clerk aud manager for one of the
large produce raisers of Jersey. The
details Of the business came into her
hands. No better salesman than she,
no better executive. At last she
bought an interest, afterwards hall
of the business. It seemed as if hei

BY w. A. LEE AND HUGH WILSON:


aud they must now 60 to work and
acquire the culture needful for inter-
course, And the secret of q good
beginning is to take the level of cur
rent sympathies, and to move gently.
Nsver try any thing at first in which
your success will depend on the
refiued appreciation of the few. Fall
into the hour, drop in SO naturally
that the word said takes the place
belonging by congruity to it, and be
sure that it springs from spontaneous
suggestion. Mover lug in tho most
sensible thing. Any forcing, the
leastsymptoms ofstraining, is instant
ly fatal. Bulwer says that the art of
conversing is the art of weaving your
remark into that of another. And
he is right. Tho impulse of sugges-
tion is tho great element of success
Train your suggestive fnculty to
keen insight and to immediate recip-
rocity of service. Every thought
uttered in cultivated society has some
particular angle, from which the
brightest of it's light flashes toward
you; and if you wa:ch for this, you
will soon get the fact Of happy res
ponse. This facile suggcstiveness is
the very soul of fact. In high per:
fection it is a matter of nerves and
temperament. BUTT is susceptible of
remarkable discipline, and,. in many
instances, is simply the product of
studious attention.
Every educated young man should
attach great value to conversational
ability. Not only is it the most cle-
giant form of address, finding its well
come way to tho heart and commu-
nicating the very aroma of your be-
ing to others, but it is the most en-
obling of culture. De Quincy shows
in his essay "On Conversation" that
the mind in this way evolves it's pow
er in a form generally unlike all 9TH
er modes of activity. This is mainly
due to the casiness and large scope of
suggestion. If an educated man will
try his intellect in private. or any
given subject, and then 80 to friend
and converse upon it, he will see the
difference in the freedom and force of
suggestiveness. And hence CONVEX
sation is 80 acquirable an excellence.
The mind gets, on the truest forms,
the companionship of others, and this
is invaluable to the thinking fac
ulties. Say what we will, the intel
lect is that portion Of our nature
which needs society moro than the
sentiments or affections. Books al
ways intensity our personal conscious
ness. They lead us to measure our
selves; they introvert the eye; they
teach one to listen to his own heart
throbbings ). and ere we know, the
faxorite book has shut US up in self
inquiries and cummunings. This is use.
full in certain limits. But it requires
a constant corrective, and society
supplies it in the art of conversation
Whoever masters this art has added
the gifts Of others 10 his own endow.
ments, has enriched his life with the
rarest treasures Of other lives, and
has learned at the same time one o.
the manifold meanings Of that all
revealing text: "U is more blessed t.
give than to receive" A mans thoughts
never perfect their worth to himsel
until he gives them to others.

RAISING CALVES WITHOUT Mill

RAISING CALVES WITHOUT MILK.
can be raised very readily
without much milk, by feeding them
on hay tea, Oil cake and meat. They
should have for the first three or four
days, two or three quarts Of milk at
a meal, then gradually some food in
the shape of cruel is added and by
degrees water is substituted for milk.
Making oil cake Of cruel is the secret
of success. Use half oil cake the
best you con buy. Take q large
bucket capable Of holding six gallons,
put into it two gallons Of scaldipg wa
ter, then add severol pounds of inseed
cake, finely ground. Stir the oil cake
together and add two gallons of hay

The hay tea is made by pouring

TRUE TO THE GRAY.
BY PEARL RIVERS


! cannot listen to your words,
I'D land is long and wide;
Go seek some happy Northern girl
To be your loving bride.
Ny brothers they were soldiers
The youngest of the three
Was slain while fighting by the side
OF gallant Fitzhugh Lee.
They left his body on thefield,
(Your, side the day had won,)
A soldier spurne ed him with his foot,
You might have been the one.
My lover was soldier,
He belonged to Gordon's band;
A sabre pierced his gallant haart.
Yours might have been the hand.
He reeled and fell, but was not dead,
A horse man spurred his steed,
And trampled on his dying brain,
You mqy have done the deed.
4hold no hatred in my heart,
No cold, unrighteous pride,
For many q gallant soldier fought
Upon the other side.
But still ! cannot kiss the hand
That sIotc my country core.
Nor love the foes that trampled down
The colors that she bore.
Between my heart and yours there rolls
A deep and crimson tide
Ny brothers and my lovers blood
Ferblds me be your bride.
The girls who loyed the boys in gray,
The girls to country true,
May ne'er in wedlock give their hand
TO those who wore the blue.

EDUCATED YOUNG MEN ENTERING
SOCIETY.

6OO4G44
In some sense Americans enter So
ciety at birth They are born into
it and tho world at the same time.
Doubtless there are exceptional cases
that can give the date subsequently
to babyhood when they were intro
duced into company. But these or,
only anomalies on tho surface-mcre
incidental variations of the ruling
fashion which. ordains that our coun-
trymen should grow up in society as
young trees grow up in old forests.
The young trees are certainly the
better for it, and, with it's evils, our
young people are gamers in certain
obvious respects by the usage.
During their educational period at
college our young men arc moro or.
less in society. The habit varies &C
cording to taste, means, and circum-
stances; but, in the majority of in
stances, it is q habit. Regulated pro-
perly, it is an excellent habit, as good
for the intellect as for the morals,
specially valuable as creating that
finer aura inwhieh the general sensi-
bility, as distinct from intellectual
emotion and from tho affections,
lives and moves and has it's being.
Perhaps this is one Of the causes that
contributes its share of developing
power to the prompt versatility and
ready perccptive energy of our young
men. Taking them at the average
age Of graduation, they are not as
good scholars as the graduates of
foreign universities. But they are
more active thinkers, more easy and
flexible in using what they know,
and more capable of working right
into the grooves of society. In brief,
their faculties have the social set, the
adjusted attitude, which is SO large
an element Of success in opening
manhood. ..-''

BANK CoLLEorIoSs-As IMPORTANT CASE.
A question Of considerable importance to
banks aud bankers Is involved In the case Of
the Chicopee bank, of Massachusetts,, against
The Seventh National Bank, OF Philadelphia,
now pending before the United States su-
preme Court. The Philadelphia bank sent
au accepted bill OF exchange TO the Massa-
chusctts bank for collection, which was lost
In tho latter bank aud not found until after
II was payable. Consequently no demand
was made on tho acceptors, and No protest
or other notice Of non-payment was given In
time to hold the drawer and endorsers. Under
these circumstances, the verdict was for the
Philadelphia bank, In the court below, for
the amount Of the bill. The Chickopcc
bank brings the case here, insisting that In
asmuch as the bill was payable at Its counter,
no presentmeut was necessary; that as the
acceptors did not provide for payment on the
day OF maturity the bill was dishonorcd, and
the Philadelphia bank being advised Of the
circumstance, had sufficient notice 10 enable
ID TO charge the eudorsers and save its corre-
spondent. The loss Of the bill was brought
to the knowledge OF the Philadelphia bank
by telegram from the Chicopee bank, in
reply 10 an inquiry as to payment, stating
that the bill had not been received. This
was two days after 1t was payable. The
loss was occasioned BY the letter containing
the bill falling through crack In the desk
Of the Chicopee bank.

OF the Whitestone agency, reports that an In
creased amount Of whisky has been brought
tothe reservations during the past month, not
outstanding his most strenuous erertlous,
and as q consequence the Indians become
quarrelsome and dlsorderly. An alteration
arising from this cause occurred the 2Sth
ult., in which "Blg Mouth" chief Of the
Ogallallas, was shot and killed by Spotted
Tail, chief Of the Brules. The affair
created much excitement and serious diff
Guilty was unprecedented, but the arrival OF
troops from Fort Randall the same evening
restored suiet. A white trader aud two
half-brceds were arrested for bringing the
whisky to the reservation and taken to Fort
Randall. Capt. Poole says there Is much
lll-fecllng among the Indians, arising, as
they say, from disappointment 10 not re-
celvlug blankets and tobacco with their fall
annuity goods. Still apprehenslve Of difi-
cultles, he ronews his request made some
time since to have troops stationed at the
reservation, and the construction of block
houses as recommended by Gen. Sheridan.

THE RIGHT OF THE GOVERNMENT to tax
the salaries OF the President and United
States judges, 1t Is thought, will be submitted
to the Secretary OF the Treasury for his dccl.
sion, and lt Is thought that II will be decided
In their favor under section one, article two,
Of the Constitution Of the United States,
which provides that
1.-THE judges both OF the supreme and infe
nor courts shall hold their offiees during good
| behavior, and shall at stated times receive for
| their services compensation, which shall
not be dininishei during their continuance 10

The question was submitted to the Treas
ury Department some years ago, when Chief
Justice fancy, on behalf Of the judges Of the

tary Chase upon the subject, but Mr.. Chase
ruled that it was proper to tar their salaries
A number Of prominent officials express the
opinion that II is unconstitutional to tax
the salaries of either the judges or the Presi-
dent OF the United States, and that all tax
which has been collected upon their salaries
must be refunded.
