“MADE OF KISSES.”
“What are you made of, Maggie, dear?”
Maggie turns trom Rover
With the strictest reverence—
lJust her grandma over!)
In the truest, bluest eyes,
Back of sunny lashes,
While the earnest answer eomts:
“Made of dust and ashes.”
“What are you made of, JohnDy, boy ?”
Boy stands still a minute ;
If there’s any mischief round,
He’s the one that’s in it.
“I ain’t dirt I" His brown eyes gleam,
And he archly reaches
Toward the basket’s winy hoard :
“Guess I’m cream and peaches.”
“What are you made of, Taddie, pet ?”
Taddie’s eyes are glowing ;
Two white hands put back the curls,
Two white teeth are showing ;
And the smiles, they twinkle round
Like a band of blisses,
“Cause they takes ’em all the time,
’Speet I’m made of kisses.”
“FOR THOUGHTS.”
A pansy on bis breast she laid,
Splendid, and dark with Tyrian dyes ,
“Take it; ’tis like your tender eyes,
Deep as the midnight heaven,” she said
The rich rose mantling in her cheek,
Before him like the dawn she stood,
Pausing upon life’B height, subdued,
Yet triumphing, both proud and meek.
And white as winter stars, intense
With steadfast fire, his brilliant face
Bent toward her with an eager grace,
Pale with a rapture half suspense.
"You give me, then, a thought, 0 sweet 1”
He cried, and kissed the purple flower,
And bowed by love’s resistless power,
Trembling he sank before her feet.
She crowned this beautiful bowed head
With one caress of her white hand ;
“Rise up, my flower of all the land,
For all my thoughts are yours,” she said

STRIKINGLY BEAUTIFUL.
Spreading rapidly through the Western
papers, under the credit ot Literary Jour
nal, is a domestic story in the very latest
style of American humor, us the appended
extract shows:
A New Casabianca. —The man looked
at his boy proudly, sternly, sorrowfully.
The lad looked into his father’s faee sadly,
exultingly, heroically. It was a living tab
leau no artist could reproduce. "Billy,”
said the father gravely, “I took your mother
and sister to church yesterday.” "Yes, sir.”
“And left you to see to the things.” "Yes,
sir,” replied the boy, gjzing out at
the flicker as it hitched down the gatepost,
and finally dropped into the grass with a
shrill chirp. “And you didn’t water the
pigs?” “O-o-o! Oh, sir! Geeroody! Ob,
me! Lawsy, lawsy me!” The slender scion
of an apple tree rose and fell in the hand of
Mr. Coulter, and up trom the jacket of the
lad, like incense from an altar, rose a cloud
of dust, mingled with the nap of jeans.
Down in the young clover of the meadow
the lark and cat-birds sang cheerily, the
gnats and the flies danced up and down in
the sunshine, the fresh, soft leaves rustled
gently, fanned by the gentle zephyrs of
balmy spring, and all was merry indeed.
Billy’s eyes turned up towards the lace of
the inflex : ble parent in mute but appealing
agony, but still, with a sharp hiss, the
switch cut the air, falling steadily and mer
cilessly on his shoulders.
And along the green banks of the river
the willows shook their shiny fingers at the
lifting fog, and the voices of children going
by to school smote the sweet May wind.
"Oh,pap; I'll not forget the pigs no more !”
“’Spect you won’t neither.” The wind, by
a sudden puff, lifted into the room a shower
of white bloom petals from a sweet-apple
tree, letting them fall gracefully on the
beautiful rag carpet, the while a plowman
whistled plaintively in a distant field.—
"Outch ! Crackee! Oh, pap, pap!” "Shut
your mouth, or I’ll split you to the back
bone.” How many delightful places in the
woods, how many cool spots beside the mur
muring river, would have been more pleas
ant to Billy than the place he then occupied.
"Oh, me ! Oh, me !” yelled the lad. Still
the dust rose and danced in the slanting jet
of sunlight that fell across the room, and
the hens out at the barn cackled and sang
for joy over new eggs hid in choice places.
At one time during the fulling of the rod,
the girl quit washing, and thrusting her
head into the kitchen, said, iD a subdued
tone, “My land, ain’t Bill giftin' an awful
one ?” “You’re migyty right,” said the
sympathising mother, solemnly. Along to
ward the last, Mr. Coulter tiptoed at every
stroke. The switch actually screamed thro’
the air as it fell. Billy danced. "Now, go,
sir!” cried the man, tossing the frizzled
stump of the gad out at the window. "Go
now, and the next time you water them
pigs.” And while the finch poured out a
cataract of melody from the sighing locust,
he went. Poor boy, that was a terrible
thrashing, and, to make it Worse, it had
been promised to him the evening before,
so that he had been dreading it and shiver
ing over it all night. Now, as he walked
through the breakfast room, his sister looked
at him in a commiserating way, but cn pass
ing through the kitchen he could not catch
the eye of his mother. Finally, he stood in
the free, open air, in front of the saddle
closets. It was just then a speckled rooster
on the barnyard fence flopped his wings and
crowed vociferously. A turkey-gobbler was
strutting upon the grass by the old cherry
tree. Billy opened the door of the closets.
“A hoy’s will is the wind’s will, and the
thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.”
Billy peeped into the closet, and then cast a
glance about him, as if to see if anything
was near. At length, during a pleasant lull
in the morning wind, and while the low,
tenderly mellow flow of the river was dis
tinctly audible, and the song of the finch in
creased in volume, and the bleating of new
lambs in the meadow died in fluttering ech
oes und.’r the barn, and while the fragrance
of apple blossoms grew fainter, and while
the sun, now flaming just above the eastern
treetops, launch a shower of light over him
from head to foot, he took from under his
jacket behind a double sheepskin, which,
with an ineffable smile, he tossed into the
closet. Then, as the yellow flicker, rose
rapidly from the grass, Billy walked off,
whistling the air of that once popular ballad,
“Oh, give me back my fifteen cents.”
A WHOLE FAMILY BEWITCHED.
A correspondent of the Roanoke, N. C.,
Times tells a remarkable story of a whole
family bewitched in the “Bend,” three miles
from Salem. The limes vouches for the
truth of the statement, and says great ex
citement exists among the people of the
neighborhood. A Mrs. Beamcr was fired
upon a few days ago because someone be
lieved her to be a witch, and many of the
neighbors are badly scared, for the reason
that they do not know what moment they
may be taken for the devil. The correspon
dent thus describes his visit to the “Bend.”
Mrs. Kypcs, with little less clothing on
than served to hide the nakedness of our
Mother Eve, standing on the topmost bough
of an apple tree, praying most earnestly that
the fiends of hell might be made to come
out of her. About two hundred yards fur
ther on, in different fence corners on bended
knees and with loud wailings, Mr. Ellis and
another man were found begging forgive
ness for their sins of the past and escape
from the evil ones which had taken posses
sion ot their neighbors.
Convinced by these sights there was a
mystery to be solved, we at once proceeded
to the house of Ellis’s neighbor, one Mr;
Mangus, and there found the cause which
had given rise to so much excitement
throughout the settlement, to have origina
ted in this: Mangus on the day previous
had a very sick horse, which he was pro
ceeding to drench, when Ellis, happening
to come by, told him the horse was not sick
but spelled by a witch, the witch he had
power to conjure out of him.
Of course Mangus was delighted, and El
lis at once commenced with his mumbles
and signs to effect a cure. These he contin
ued several hours, the horse in the mean
time growing worse and worse; finally, he
in despair informed Mangus that a silver
bullet was the last and most effective remedy
to rid the animal of its tormentor. Quickly
one was moulded, put into a rifle and fired
at the horse, which fell dead. Shocked at
the result, Ellis declared he had seen it
come out and enter the cow, which was
standinjjfin the same yard; thereupon it too
was killed, and successively a dog, hog and
cat; but horrible to relate, upon expulsion
from the animals, Mangus felt it enter him
self, and was taken suddenly iU. Ellis was
now seized by Mangus’ sons, and securely
bound hand and foot, as from him they
swore they would extract with a silver ball
the witch which had caused so great a ca
lamity to be visited upon them.
Feeling that his hour had come, Ellis so
improved the time during which the bullet
was being moulded, as to persuade and con
vince them that to draw a sketch ot him
and fire the bullet through it, would rectify
all things, even to restoring the dead animals
to life, but in order to its efficacy, he must
first be loosed and placed in the woods, so
that the witch might not he able to find him,
but upon expulsion would be immediately
snatched in the air and so banished the set
tlement. The plan was adopted ; the ball
fired through his supposed likeness, but with
unsatisfactory results; whereupon immedi
ate search was made for Ellis, who, as might
have been expected, was found—mis3iDg.
Whether Ellis’ flight has restored confi
dence throughout the settlement I have not
yet heard, but was told that at sun-down of
the same day Ellis was seen with a shot-gun
near the resideace of Mr. 8., inquiring if
Mangus’ sons had passed the road. Upon
reply they had not, but were expected by
soon, he bade a hasty good evening and
over the fields took his way.
THE SALARY STEAL.
Th & Nation, one ot the oldest and most,
independent Republican journals in the
United States, expresses itself on the sub
ject of the salary steal, hitting right and
left the men who followed the “JButlerites”
in this spoliation of the Treasury. It
says:
Nothing, we think, which any Congress
has done for many years has excited as much
public iudignation as the vote of the “back
pay” to themselves by the gentlemen of the
XLlId, who have just gone home. The
obscurity of most of them will of course be a
sufficient shield hereafter, and will enable
them to enjoy the money in peace. But the
offence differs little, if at all, from that of a
president of a bank who should raise his
own salary in the middle of the year, pay
himself out of the till, and then resign, and
set the directors at defiance. In fact, it is
worse, because a bank president would know
that he might be reached by the law, while
Congressmen know they arc safe against the
only pursuit which for many of them has
any terror —that of criminal justice. One
of the most striking results of the caucus
system is that it has given us a class of
‘statesmen’ on whom the opinion of the de
cent and moral elements of American socie
ty has absolutely no influence, and who rev
el in an unprecedented callousness. It is
just possible, however, that a good many, if
not all, of the minority who voted against
the bill considers that they have thus dis
charged their obligations to virtue, and that
they may now pocket the money along with
the Butlcritcs. We trust constituencies
will do all in their power to dissipate this
delusion, and that the neighbors of returned
legislators will make them understand that
it is as disgraceful to take the money as to
vote for it. Congress is not without histori
cal precedent for its performance, to be sure;
but, on the other hand, neither are the peo
ple without historical precedent for their
disgust and their clamor, and their punish
ment of this kind ot legislation.”
A Promising Youth. —The Washing
ton Capital tells this:
At an elegant dinner party given in this
city the enfant terrible of the family was per
mitted to occupy a seat near one of the
most distinguished guests. This bete noir
is much given to conundrums, which are
not always appropriate. Moreover, the
young man had a sister who i3 a shining
belle in society. Eliza is the name of the
young lady, but the young scapegrace will
call her Lize. The company were startled
by the voice of the youngster asking, “Why
is father like the devilAn awkward
pause ensued. Then he shouted out, “Be
cause he is the father of Lize !” (lies.) That
boy didn’t get his desert, for he was sent
to bed.

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has any thing won so widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through a long series of years, and among most
of the races of men it has risen higher and higher
in their estimation, •'s it has become better known.
Its uniform charade. and power to cure the va
rious affections of the lungs and throat, have
made it known as a reliable protector against
them. While adapted to milder forms of disease
and to young children, it is at the same time the
most effectual remedy that can be given for incip
ient consumption, and the dangerous affections
of the throat and lungs. Asa provision against
sudden attacks of Croup t it should be kept on
hand in every family, and indeed as all are some
times subject to colas and coughs, aU should be
provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought In
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete Is Its
mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it.
When nothing else could . each them, under the
Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singe. •* and Public Speakers find great
protection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known, that we
need not publish the certificates of them here, or
do more than assure the public that its qualities
are frilly maintained.
Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical or Bilious Fever, &0.,
and indeed all the affeotions which arise
from malarious, marsh, or miasmatic
poisons.
As its name implies, it does Cure, and does not
feil. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
substance whatever, it in nowise injures any pa
tient. The number and importance of its cures
in the ague districts, are literally beyond account,
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the
acknowledgments we receive of the radical cures
effected in obstinate cases, and where other rem
edies had wholly failed. ...
Unacclimated persons, either resident in. or
travelling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE CUBE daily.
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpid
ity of the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimu
lating the Liver into healthy activity. .
For Bilious Disorders and Liver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly
remarkable cures, where other medicines had
failed. „ _ ....

more usage, The machine can be seen in ope
