NO, sir. Ny forces have been

STOLEN KISSES.

b Il il tonch of lips in the CLEAN
OF the fire and never word:
The echo will repeat,
Breaking the lence in twain, =
"Stol"n kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain!''
For a kiss wonld a maiden wake
From the charm Of dreamfnl sleep,
And touch of true love would break
The peace that the blues eyes keep.
For ever he echo shall greet,
Like the song of ripening rain,
"Stolen kisses are always sweet,
Aud love is never in vain y
When hearts and lips have grown cold,
And love lives but for an hour:
When lift's romances has been told.
And kisses have lost their power,
Then shall soft memory fleet,
NJ more n dream to enchain,
Yet stolen kisses are always sweet,
And love is never in vain.

THE FREE TRADERS.

The Chicago Tribnnc says Of the Free
Trade Convention lately held in Chicago:
1t is plain that the free traders mean to
make war this winter. 1t is also plain that,
like men Of sense, they are beginning now
to prepare public opinion for the elections
Of next year. They are to be repulsed not
without some effect. The defenders OF
protection may as we'll begin to defend.
Thirteen State organizations were reported
to the convention, with local organizations
in other States. 1t is all we'll not to under.
rate their zeal or influence. Their first
step is announced to raise fund of $780,
COO, which is needed this and next year in
view Of Congressional elections in 1886.
This application Of funds will be remem.
bered when the free trade candidates pre-.
sent themselves next year. A third Of the
sum is already pledged, it is officially re-
ported. This bit Of information the de.
tenders Of the protective system may we'll
consider.
