THE RAINQROPe, BY MAGGIE B, For the ITernld.] raindrop on a fi >weret lay. Soon after it fell, on a sninmer's day ; I paused, to admire its beautiful hue. Red, yellow, and emerald, mingled with blue. Admire me, the little drop said, And it rolled about its glittering hekd ; I am older by far, than, pie flower can be, For I halve slept in the d&fk bine sea. I have been o’er all this earth of ours, Kissed the Carcnsian maids, and drooping flowers; And In the beautiful, blight rainbow, ’Tis there, sometimes, that you see me glow. But the best or all, I wRi tell you now; I have cooled the inebriates burning brow, I have allured him nway from shame, That he might not blush to own his name. Yes, I have made him stand ag-nn, An honored ore, and his fellow men, Have made for him his wreteked home, . A place of peace, and sweet welcome. To the sufferer too, on his bed of pain, I have brought hack heaPh again. Then deem me not, a wcjrihless thing, While I may so many virtues bring. Willow Dell, Ga. Jltisrfllaneons. Antipathetic Vagaries. —Some curious instances are on record of the antipathy displayed by individuals toward certain art.cles of food. Erasmus, though a native of Rotterdam, had such an aversion to fish, that even the smell of it, threw him into a fever. Joseph Scaligor and Peter Abuno never could drink milk ; and Cardan was particular disgusted at the sight of eggs. Philip 11. of Spain gave a whimsical reason for his dislike of fish, “They are nothing hut elements congealed, or a jelly of water.” Usually the orders of flowers are agreeable ; but instances occasionally occur where they exercise a totally different effect. The jonquil and the tuberose are insupportable to some; others cannot bear the fragrance of the lilac ; even violets, the last flowers to be suspected, have excited the greatest antipathy. Hysterics have been brought on by the marshmallow; saffron has been known to produce swooning. Others have shown aversion to certain animals. Henrv 111 of France though he had driven his enemies before him at Jarnac, trembled from head -to foot at the sight of a cat. W hen a hare crossed the celebrated Dake d’Epernon's path, his blood stagnated in his veins Albert, a brave field-marshal of France, fell insensible to the ground on discovering a sucking-pig served up at his own table. Ambrose Pare mentions a gen gentleman who could never see an eel with out fainting. There is an account of another who would fall into convulsions at the sight of a carp. A French lady ulwavs fainted on seeing boiled lobsters. M. de Lanere gives an account of a man who was so terrified at seeing a hedgehog, that for two years he imagined his bowels were gnawed by such an animal. The same author was intimate with a very brave „offioer, who was so frightened at the sight ot*a mouse that he never dart'd to look at doe unless h“ had a sword in his hand. ''•Th£ author of the tells us he would rather lion, provided lie had but a weapon iff his hand, than feel a spider craWH.r*g on Hrim in the "dark, i wo English sailors, who had been letc-dn charge of Dr. Livings towels stgamer at Tetto, had a curious method of dodlirtg with the traders there. Haviriguigcerfain ed the market price of provisions, they paid that and no m‘c If the traders refused to leave the n an. v till the price was in creased, a chatnel'.-"n, of which the natives have a morta dr ad, was brought out of the cabin, and the moment the nntiriH saw the creature, they ar <mce sprang overboard. The chameleon settled every dispute in a twinkling. The Soil and the Mind. --Culture iru proves both, but both, like the body, must have nourishment. Food feeds'*the body, thought feeds the brain, and fertilizers feed the soil. The better** the food, the better the thought, the better the fertilizers, the more vigorous does the body become, the greater the activity of the mind, and the higher productiveness is there in the soil. By the better living ot the last half century, ten years have been addei to the average of human existence in civilized lands. By the greater advantages of education offered during the same period, investigations of natural truth and science have immeasura* bly surpassed in their additions to human knowledge any dozen previous half cen turies; aud coining down to lesser things, English lands which grew ten bushels of wheat a few years,, ago, now grow over thirty on an average, simply because the •soil is better fed with manures. Hence vve may reasonably expect that, with a wiser feeding of the body, providing it with bet ter things, with more richly flavored fruits, with sounder, healthier, and more juicy meats, and more highly*cultivated grains which make bread, avo may still add to the length of life’s duration, and a man may be younger at a hundred than he is now at three-score. The good things of this life Avero certainly made to bo enjoyed, ration ally, temperately, thankfully, and lovingly, towards Elim who supplies them all.

"mith had just asked Mr. Thompson’s daughter if she would give him a lift out ot,bachelordom, and she said “Yes.” It therefore became ab.-oluteiy necessary to get th» uld gentleman’s permission, so, as lßm a said, the arrangements might be made to hip the c njugal twig. Smith said he’d rather pop the interrogatories to ail ot old Thompsons daughters and sisters, and his lady cousins and'his aunt Hannah iQ the e untry, -and*the-whole of his female relations, than ask old Thompson. But it had to lie done, and so he sat down and s’udied out a speech which he was to dis gorge at < Id Thompson the very first time - h gt a shy at him. So Smith dropped in Oo him one Sunday evening, when all the f lily hud wandered around to meeting ii found him doing, a sum in beer meas ure. _ “flow are you Smith,” said old Thomp son, as the former walked in, white as a piece of chalk, and trembling as if he had swallowed a condensed earthquake. Smith was afraid to ansv. er, because he wasn’t sure about that knew he had to keep his grip on it while he had it there, or it would slip from him quicker than an oiled eel through an auger hole. So he blundered out— “Mr. Thompson, sir : Perhaps it may be unknown to you, that dnrin>r an extend ed period of soma five years, I have been busily engaged .n the prosecution of a com* mercial enterprise.” “Is that so, keepin’ it a secret all this time, while 1 thought you were tendin’ store? Well by George 1 you’re one of them now, ain’t you ?” Smith had begun to think it all over again, to get the run of.it. “Mr. Thompson, sir : Perhaps it may not be unknown to you, that, during the extended period of five years, I have been busily engaged in the prosecution of a com* mercial enterprise, with the determination to secure a sufficient* maintenance —” “Sit down, Smith, and * l\e Ip yourself to beer. Don’t stand' there boldin’ your hat like a blind b.eggar with t paralysis. I never have seen you benafve - yourself so queer in all my ■'•Lorn days.’ , Smith had been Icrrecked i?nt again, and so he had to wander back and take a fresh start. ' * “Mr. Thompson, sir: It may not be unknown to you that during an extended period of five years I have been engaged in the prosecution of a commercial enter pris ■, with the determination to procure a sufficient maintenance—” “A which ace ?” asked old Thompson, but iSmith held out to the last word, as if it was his only chance, and went on— “In the hope that some day I might en ter wedlock, and bestow my earthly .posses sions upon one whom I could call my own. 1 have been a lonely man, sir ;md have felt that it is not good for man to be alone, therefore I would-—” “Kcither is it, Smith ; I’m glad you dropped in. How’s the old man ?” “Mr. Thompson, sir,” said Smith, in desparing confusion, raising his voice to a yell, “it may not he unknown to you that, during an extended period of a lonely man I have been engaged to enter wedlock, and bestow all my enterprise on one whom 1 could determine to be good for certain pos sessions—no, I mean—that is—that NLr. Thompson, sir; it may not be unknown—” “And then, again it may. Look here. Smith, you’d better lay down and take something warm—-you ain’t well.” Smith, sweating like a four year old colt, went in again : “Mr. Thompson, sir, it may n t he lonely to you to prosecute me, wh in yon, a friend, for commercial inain to> re. but —but— eh—dang it Mr. 1 s op-ori, it—” » Smith, you talk like a fool. I never •- A. u 0 a first-class idiot in the course of in, whole life. What’s the matter with you, nv how ?” *,Mi. Thompson, sir,” said Smith in an agony of bewilderment, “it may not be known that you prosecuted a- lonely man who is not good for a commercial period of wedlock for si'ine five years, hut —” “See here. Mr Smith, you’re drunk, and if you can’t behave better t an that, you’d belter leave. If you don’t I’ll chuck you out, or I’m a Dutchman ” “Mr. Thompson, sir,” said Smith, frant ic with despair, “it may not he unknown to you that ray earthly possessions are en gaged to enter wedlock five years with a sufficiently lonely man; who is not good for a commercial maintenance —” “Tht very deuce he isn’t! Now you jist get up and git, or I’ll knock what little brains out of you you've got left.” With that old Thompson took Smith and shot him in the street as if he’d run him against a locomotive going out at the rate of forty miles an hour. Before old Thomp son had time to shut the front door, Smith collected his legs and one thing another that were lying around on the pavement, arranged himself in a vertical position, and velle i out— “Mr. Thompson, sir. It may not be kn iwn to you ” Which made the old man so wretched mad that he went out and set a bull terrier on Smith before he had a chance to 1 i f t a brogan, and there was a scientific dog fight, with odds in favor of the dog, for he had an awful hold for such a small animal. Smith afterwards married the girl, and lived happily about two months. At the end of that time he told a confidential friend that he would willingly take more trouble and undergo a million dog bites to get rid of her. Volubility.—Few of the world’s great masters, Avho are celebrated for depth or originlity of thought, fiave been great col loquists ; and one of them said, by way of ap logy, that the reason why men were supplied with two ears, and one tongue, was to hear more than they express. This was perhaps one if Carlyle’s ‘‘great silent men ” Swift says that volubility in any one i* a sign "f vacancy of mi h as people a! va\ come our of ehurob fa- : when ,r 5* n Jh’■ y empty Lamarr o - ays ttr.. r «in all men who have er * " t . . c are sparing of word*.

LABIAL GREETINGS From the New York Mercury ] It has been remarked bv a modern French roman cist that a woman receives but one kiss in hgr lifetime. But this assertion must be taken “cum grano Palis;” for it be seen from the following short bur plea»irig essay that at\y lady could be the reeipent (perhaps unwillingly) of five dif ferent salutes known by life name “kiss”— that is, allowing lor the writer’s metaphys ical distinction between love and affection. KIS9EB. There are those who have had the temer. ity to attempt to describe the sensations— she effect, psychologically, of what the great American lexicographa modestly defines thus: “A salute given with the lips; a common token of affection.” As the token is not always the result of affection', nnd as with this salute is iuvolved a large amount of human happiness, the Subject certainly deserves a candid consid eration. Kisses may with propriety bo classified as follows : The kiss of affinity, of deception, of formality, ot affection, and of love. 1. The Iviss of Affinity was co-evil, so it is supposed, with “The good old days of Adam and of Eve.” Certain eminent theologians have conject ured that with this salute was involved the fall of man. Leaving those interested to settle this point to their own satisfaction, we proceed to illustrate our own views by the following incident: A gentleman of pleasing address became acquainted with a buxom and airy young widow on* the cars. The seats were so ar ranged that they sat directly opposite each other. In due time they became engaged in familiar and animated conversation. On the man’s lip was lightly attached a small piece of court plaster. On emerging into light, after passing through a dark tunnel, to the amusement of the adjacent passen gers, it was observed that the identical court plaster w<is fondly adhering totlifc lip of the lady! 2. It is a singular fact that the first kiss recorded on the page of history was a kiss of deception. Over 3.G00 years ago Jacob disguised himself and personated his broth er Esau to obtain his farther’s blessing. ‘•Come.now r near and kiss me,* my son,” said the blind Issac, supposing he was ad dressing Esau. And he (Jacob) came near and kissed him. The kiss of deception is no evidence that those practicing it are de void of affection. Ilappy husbands have noticed the fact that showers of kisses not unusually precede the request for articles of apparel, luxury, or jewelry. 3. The Kiss of Formality usually prac ticed by the fair sex on the occasions of meeting, separating, etc., corresponds with the flippant “How are ve?” and “Good day” of the masculine gender. A curious case was presented to our notice. A young man of feminine appearance, some twenty years of age, laid a wager that be would kiss the cherry lips of a certain beautiful young lady on separating after their first introduction. He attired himself tastefully and becomingly in female apparel and was introduced by a confederate as his cousin to a small evening-party, among whom was the y<>ung lady in question. The coy de meanor, modesty and bashfulness of the “cousin” rather excited the interest and sympathies of the young ladies present. .>Vhen the party separated for the evening the kiss of formality was exchanged. Os course the youug cousin came in for a good sliaVs of the salutes, which he returned with such an emphasis-on the lips of tne damsel in view as to awaken on her part a desire, if not curiosity, for a further ac quaintance. The result was —they were married two years subsequently. 4. The Kiss of Affection is too well un derstood to require much command. It may be the result of an instinctive feeling, as that of a parent for a child,, etc., or of admirable traits of character on the part of the person saluted. * The desire, which so frequently exists, to become the recipient of this t ken, has a tendency to subdue the harsher and coarser feelings of our nature. ' A young unmarried clergyman, named Da vid Paul, was greatly admired by the young a lira of his congregation. He appreciated their'kind attentions, and cultivated their demonstrations of affection. So greatly was lie impressed,-that after an absence of several months from his.charge, he chose for his text for his first sermon these words, apparently unconscious of thei? effect on his congregation : “And they all fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him.” 5. The Kiss of Love (conjugal) is holy* sacred. It springs from that organ of the mind denominated by Phrenologists, union for life. “The union of hearts, the union of hands.” A young wife, some two years after mar riage, became apprehensive of the loss or decline of her husband’s love. He appear ed absent-minded, was reticent, hisexuber ance of spirits had forsaken him. She be came exceedingly depressed in spirits, and Vogue ideas of a return to her father’s house and of divorce would occasionally flit through her mind. In her agony she one day threw herself on a and closed her eyes. Her husband chanced to enter the room: he supposed her asleep, and was ■touched by her sad, pale looks, the cause of which he little suspected. He stopped, parted the curls from her forehead tenderly stooped down and fondly kissed her cheek and left the room. It was the kiss of love; she was satisfied, and her feelings found relief in tears—happy tears of joy. For the first time she now suspected the finan cial embarrassment of her husband. Thf* ensuing day she sought arc interview with his book-keeper. The story was told. Ten thousand dollars in notes were due that day, negotiations had failed, his house must go down. Her resolution was instantly form ed, she had eight thousand dollars—a part of her wedding portion, in bank. This she obtained, and secured the balance from her father: with whom a fpw moments before Jip * rr hie.“bank olosed” was displayed ; l 'be hank and took up the notes. ; love had saved wife.and hu>. bintld. w Udy readers wish to keep a bou qu fVesh, let. them drop a teaspoonful ol <wd< red charcoal into the water intended ! r{l >wer-sta-ks and they will keep their {re>ane"s and perfume for several days, and lo k an-1 smell the same as those just gath ered The charcoal settles at the bottom Os the vase, the water remaining clear.

The Vision of tiie Dying. —There is in human history an unwritten chapter, which is yet thronged with mysterious incidents half fearfully Yem‘.mbered by their witnes ses. All who have stood beside the bed of the dying, must hare been thrilled with singular testimonies that the dying are conscious ol tho presence of other than mortal visitants. Is it not a grand and consolatory convic tion, that when Christians are passing away to their eternal homes, when the attenuat ing links that chain consciousness to time and day are melting away, one by one, and their consciousness becomes, by the gradual enfranchisement of a lingering death, more and spiritual 1 Thus sinking to heaven, growing unmindful of the lower and out ward existence, they are arousing to the inner and spiritual life ; becoming to tho clay-enveloped forms of friends standing around their failing bodies, they see al ready, as through a mist, the brother beings who are to be their everlasting com panions—somo of whom may bo already welcoming their eoming. Their hearing waxing dim, and unconscious to the melody of the beloved voices whispering in their natural ears, they can become aware of a sweeter music, sung by more exquisite voices still, of the beloved who had gone before them ; in fine, dying unto earih, they are becoming alive in heaven. Does not this fully and worthily explain the soimn scenes of thousands of death-beds? visions of spiritual visitants ministering to the dying ; resplendant light surrounding glorious beings who cast no shadow; gor geous scenery, bright with never-fading beauty ; voices thrilling in tenderness; music mysterious in harmony ; the recog nition of dear, familiar faces, fondly loved in file by-gones; or the fore-knowledge which some have feeeived of tho exact moment of their departure! There aro few families who have not some tale of this sort to tell, Some testimony to add to this proof of the contiguity of the spiritual world. Color of Horses. —The Arabs illustrate their estimate of the different colors of a horse by the following story : A ehie <>f the tribe was once ptirsaed by enemies Ilk said to his son : “My son, drop to the rear and tel! me the color of the horses of our foe, and may Allah burn bis grandfather!” “White,” was the answer. • “Then we will go south,” said the chief,* “for in the vast plains of the desert the 5 wind of the white horse cannot stand in » •protracted chase.” v Again the chief said, “My sod; *\hat Colored hon-es pursue us ?” “Black, 0 my father!” “Then we will go among tin* BtODos aD( j rocky ground, for the feet of ’ oiack horB6;J are not strong.” A third time tbs young Arab waß Bent to the rear, and reported ‘•‘‘aestnut horses.
