THE KISS IN SCHOOL.

A district school, not far away,

Of three score mingled girls and boys
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent;
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy book
Koee, clear and sharp, a rousing smack
AS 'twere battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous kiss.

"That, that" little imp replies,
''Twath William Width, if you pIeath

With troWn to make statue thrill,
The master Numbered 'Hither Will !"
Like wretch o'ertallen in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
A great, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good natRred fun.
With smile suppressed, and birch up
raised,
The threatener faltered, "Tm amazed,
That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty of al act so rude
Before the whole set school to boot!

YE PEDAGOGUE.
BY JOHN G. SAKE

Riobte learned is ye Pedagogue,
FulIe ant to reade and spelle,
And exc TO teache We parts of speeche,
And strap ye urchins well.
For as tits meete to soake ye feete,

Ye younker's pate to stimulate,
He beats ye other ende.
Right lordly is We pedagogue
As any turbaned Turke,
For well to rule ye district schoole,
It is no idle worke.
For oft rebellion lurketh there
In breaste of secrete foes,
OF malice fulle in waite to pulle
Ye Pedagogue his nose
Sometimes he heares, with trembling
feareS,
OF We ungodly rogue,
On mischief bent with felle intente
To lick ye Pedagogue.
And if ye Pedagogue be smalle,
When to ye battell led,
In such plighte, God send him mighte,
To breake We rogue his heade.
Daye after daye, for little pave,
He teacheth what he can,
And bears ye yoke, to please We folke,
And We committee man.
All many crosses hath he borne,
And many trials found,
Ye while he trudged the district through
And boarded rOuude and rounde.
All! many steake hath he deYoured,
That by the taste and sight,
Was in disdain, twas very plane,
OfDaye his patent rlghte!
Fulle solemn is ye Pedagogue
Among ye noisy churls.
Yet other while he hath a smile
To give We handsome girls.
And one-ye fayrest maybe of ALL
To cheere his Wayning life,
Shall be, when Spring ye flowers shall
bring,
Ye Pedagogue, his wife!

markable inequalities for a street, being
broken and hilly, thereby rendering it
difficult to construct road-bed fit for
use, except ut a heavy cost, and we un-
derstand that this opinion is entertained
by Mr. John Lucas, an architect of great
experience.
Fourth. The street proposed is of no
practical use, compared with the expense
of frunning it. Running parallel to Main
street, its northern outlet is at point
above the objective points of business or
residences, and will be used by very few
persons.
Fifth. We regard the repairing of our.
streets and keeping them in good order
of more Importance and benefit than the.
opening of new streets, and the same
money derived from taxes devoted to.
improving cur abundant street room, will
be better expended.
For these and other reasons, which
could be given, we submit that your Hon.
orable body should hesitate to open the,
street etproposed, when SO large number
of your fellow-citizens protest against
your action. Respectfully submitted.

Mr.. Editor:-OnSa Saturday, the 18th of
May, was celebrated the birth day of Mr.
Peter Rowe, of our district. I shy our dis
trict. We claim him, being born and
reared here, though he now lives and has
a plantation in Lexington. Three others
with myself started on the 10th of May,
well equipped with n double seated bug
gy, two horses, provendcr for both beast
and man, to celebrate the one hundred and
first birth day of Uncle Peter Rowe.
TO tell you, Mr.. Editor, of our adventures
would be volume, or rather two or
three volumes, for instance: adventures
through the sand hills of Lexington, bull
fight, or the horrible murder; for we
heard of a murder committed during the
revolution at this place, where noises are
still heard. Fortunately we passed this
haunted ground during daylight, and no
ghost or goblin was heard. Tho adven-
lures through the sand hills would have
been very monotonous had we not had
the pleasure of meeting two remarks bic
pcrsonages. One was the Rev. Eli Har-
tris, (col'd,) who from appearances was
just rs delighted as we were to see ami.
nal life. ~ little conversation showed
us very clearly that Eli is just as
ignorant as he thinks himself wise. Our
other character is DR.. Williamson who
talked ring worm off us in about three
minutes. Surely, we have physician
here, n balm in the sand hills. Along
our drcary ride we passed one beautiful
place, formerly the residence ofNlr Rem
bert, on Black Creek, tributary of the
North Edisto. The place is in ruins, but
there is pretty view there. We arrived
at the residence of Uncle Peter about one
hour after night. and found the old gen
tleman suffering considerably from asth-
ma. Think, Mr.. Editor, of a man one
hundred years old sitting up for nights,
catching occasionally little sleep, with n
clear aid sound mind. One would natu.
rally suppose from his extreme age, and
not knowing him well, that he was n
"boy again" and would be ready under
the circumstances to say, "Senex bis
puer," but not so Uncle Peter has been
II boy but once, he was man at 81, he
is man yet. We found on our arrival
other friends with him, among them an
eccentric gentleman Of the medical pro-
fession, who from his science, etc, was
styled Professor Agassiz. He spoke oc-
casionally Of his profession, then of the
animal kingdom, and necessarily of the
dead languages. Lord Hudibras is no.
where compared with him for
