Three Kisses Of Farewell.

Three, only three, my darling.
Separate. solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know
When we kissed because we loved eaen othe
Simply to taste loves sweet,
And lavished our kisses as the summer
Lavishes heat
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung,
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacramento
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain:
We have hurt each other often;
We shall again.
When we pine because we miss each other,
And do not understand
How the written words are SO much colder
Than eye and hand.
kiss thee. dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried. forgiven before it comes
For our owes sake!
The second kiss, my darling.
Is full of joys sweet thrill;
We have blessed each other always:
We always will.
We shall reach until we feel each other,
Past all of time and space;
We shall listen till We hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
kiss thee, darling. for all joy
Which we shall know.
The last kiss, oh. my darling.
Ny Lowell cannot see
Through my tears. as remember
What it may be.
We may die and never see each other,
Die, with no time to give
ANY signs that our hearts are faithful
To die, as live.
Token Of what they will not see
This one last kiss. my darling, seals
The seal of deathi

Hay at the South.

The New Orleans journals assert that
hay can be raised in the Southern States,
and quote the report of Georgia paper,
that the thrifty up-country farmers in
the latter State had, during the past
season, saved four tons of hay per acre,
for which they were paid thirty five dol
lars per ton, delivered at the railroad
depot. This hay, which is of spontane-
GUS growth, is said to be of superior
quality. The South receives large quan-
titles of hay from the North, and durin G
the year ending August 31st, 1871, there
were 5000 bales shipped to New Or
leans. About one-halt of this amount
came from Cincinnati and other points
on the Ohio above Louisville. Switzer-
land county, Indiana, shipped 54,888
bales, one firm alone sending over 81, 600
bales. Under the aforementioned cir
cumstances, the Southern planters are
urged to turn their attention to hay as
better than cotton. The planters at the
present time put all their feldsin cotton,
and send to the North and West fo1
bread and meat and hay.

MADAME THEIRS recently confounded
young American lady by inquiring
what kind of servants America had.
The lady hardly knew what answer to
make, when Madame Theirs continued
with great vivacity: "Here all of them
are rogues. 1 am obliged myself to
lock up everything after meals; if did
not, meat, liquors, dessert, everything,
would disappear. At the Tuileries it
was found necessary to sew up the pock-
cts of the servants to prevent their
stealing. Had the pockets not been closed
up, guests would have gotten nothing
on ball nights. Before this measure
was adopted, champagne, pies, chickens,
even pieces of plate, disappeared in the
pockets"

For really neat epigram, the follow
ing from the last Lippincon is hard to
beat:
You men are weathercocks," cried Rosalind.
Quite true" said I, but woman is the wind
And if the wind its shiftings would but cease,
The weathercocks might rest in blissful peace;
But if it will from every quarter blow,
The poor things round and round must always
Until. at last, all power of movement o'er,
Worn, broken, smashed, they fall to turn no

Peculiar Eels.

If there ever was a fisherman who
loved eels it was old Job Stuart. They
were, in fact, the sun,muna bo1aum of his
existence, and he never was so happy
as when he drew in great wriggling
monster, and nothing made him so mad
all over, or fight SO quick, as to insinu-
ate that they, in the slightest degree,
resembled snakes. For fifty years the
old man reveled in his favorite dish.
Then fate, or the death of a brother,
called him West, and he was sorely
troubled in spirit at the thought that he
should be deprived of his accustomed
luxury. Very great was his surprise,
therefore, to find the breakfast table of
the prairie tavern loaded with fried eels,
and he ate with even more than his &C
customed gusto. But he thought it
strange there should be such bounti-
full supply, as he had seen neither river
or pond anywhere in the vicinity: so he
questioned the landlord as to where they
were obtained.
"Wall, stranger" was the reply, eve
always have them-just as many as we
want"
"But where do you catch them 2"
"Anywhere on the perarer and the
woods am full on 'em. We call 'em bush
| eels." rs.
Job left the table hastily.
