The Offered Kiss.
He offered a kiss in the morning—
I coldly turned away ;
For an idle word that I overheard
Had rankled a night and a day.
I knew, in truth, it was nothing,
That he would have blushed to own,
The point and sting of the trifling thing
Grew out ol my heart alone,
But a vexed. unquiet spirit
Weighs no matter aright,
And the sore smart of a jealous heart,
Puts reason out of sight.
I let him go in the morning
Without the kiss be sought ;
And the day was long, but I nursed my wrong
With many a hitter wrong.
One bitter thought, God help me 1
Did not enter toy brain,
That kiss of mine, by word or sign,
He would Dover seek again.
But as evening shadows gathered,
My heart began to burn
\\ ith a quickened sense of bis influence*
And I longed for his return.
Leaning against the window
That overlooked the street,
I strained tny ear his step to hear
In the crowd of hurrying feet.
Far off. iti the dimmest distance,
1 should have known it well ; ’
But there came instead a muffled tread
And the sharp alarm of the bell.
Sonic griefs, though deep and bitter,
Find at last their cures,
But some retain the old. old pain
As long as life endures.
I did not knew in the morning
When I coldly turned away,
That 1 should miss and mourn that kiss
Down to mv dying dnv!
White Settlers.
In Louisiana they have taken
hold of this question of inducing
white settlers to come to them with
wisdom, and the plans suggested
will soon redeem her from poverty
as well as from an obnoxious gov
ernment. The subject is treated of
iu the New Orleans Price Cut rent
as follows : “ The idea of inducing
white families from other States or
from Europe to settle on our fertile
lands, is gaining ground daily
among our planters. From a few
who were v filing to make a clear
donation ol land to the immigrant,
there is now probably not a planter
in this /State who would not cheer
full >j furnish land free of charge ,
and even cud with ali means avail
able, the immigrant of his own
race. The planter has learned the
value of a white immigration, and
is ready to welcome all who are
willing to work for a living. In
ante helium times the then rich
nlanter spent his winter season al
most, exclusively in tlve city, and
during the summer his country
home was enlivened by the society
Of friends and relations from the
city. Now the planter is, through
the necessity of economizing his
means as much as possible, com
pelled to remain in his country
home the greater part of, if not the
whole year round, his family conse
quently feels the need of society, of
persons of a similar standard of ed
ucation, and herein lays the great
guarantee which promises the emi
grant a kind reception, and all aid
in the power of the present landed
proprietors.” The argument might
be continued further, with great
effect, as the experience in other
States shows that w here a parly
owns five hundred acres of land and
gives away two hundred and fifty
acres of it to actual settlers, the re
maining two hundred and fifty is
worth more than the whole five
hundred was originally.—Savan

The Democrat that Beat Beast

Beast Butler for Congress in Mas

The following dispatch from Mr.

of New York, is the first thing we
have seen in print from him. It is

Salem, Mass., Novembei s.—lt
will be impossible for me to be with

which the victory in the Massa

won are—first, opposition to the
centralization of power in the
Federal Government; second, no
currency but gold, or that which is
convertable into gold on demand :
third, no discrimination in favor of
the colored race, but a perfect
equality of rights, a perfect equali

How Ihe Head as*e Dis

Peoples.
We are so accustomed to bury
our dead that it is only by an effort
that we can conceive of ourselves as
disposing of them otherwise. YYt
the practice of mankind has differed
widely in this respect. And in ev
ery nation the traditional mode ac
quires a sanctity, from association
with the most solemn and tender
moments of life, which induces us
to look with horror on any alterna
tive method. When Darius found
an Indian tribe who ate the bodies
of their dead, they were not less
shocked at the idea of burning
corpses than the Greeks in his train
were at the horrible cannibalism of
the Indians. Even when the breath
has left the mortal frame, the cold
remain of those we have loved are
not less dear than when they were
, animated with lifeqbut custom alone
creates the direction in which that
love manifests itself, and each di
rection is alike but an unavailing
protest against the inexorable law
which dissolves the ashes of the de
parted into fleeting gases and crum
bling dust.
The Egyptians embalmed their
dead. The Hebrews buried them
out of their sight. The Greek
sometimes buried and sometimes
burnt, the latter mode gaining the
ascendancy'as civilization advanced
The Persians, if we may trust the
hints of earlier and the assertions of
later writers, seem to have gather
ed their dead together on the top
of a low building, and there left
them to the birds and winds of
heaven. Burying, burning, eubalrn
ing, these are the three great alter
natives adopted by humanity for
the disposal of their daad. But
there is scarcely any modification
of these methods which has not
found its adherents; and there is
scarcely any conceivable substitute
for them which has not been prac
ticed somewhere. The posturo ol‘
burial has been varied, in many
places it being thought decorous to
bury in a sitting attitude. Some
Red Indian tribe expose their dead
on the branches of trees ; the Ethi
opians enclose them in pillars of
crystal. Maritime nations have
sometimes honored their chiefs by
laying them in state in a ship or
canoe, and burning or setting it
adrift. Sacred rivers arc the chos
en butying-ground of some; others
commit their dead to the sea alone.
Some leave the corpse till it decays,
and then bury the bones: others re
move the flesh from the bones imme
diately rfter, and then dress and
adorn the skeleton. Burial alive is
by some thought a mark of a flee
tion; exposure to wild beast is the
chosen custom of by no means bar
barous races. The Indian tribe
above referred to finds many paral
lels. Nor was it always thought nec
essary to wait till death supervened.
There is grim humor in the picture
given by Herodotus of a tribe where
when any one falls sick, “ his chief
friends tell him that the illness will
spoil his flesh ; and he protests that
he is not unwell; but they not
agreeing with him, kill and eat him.”
(Thalia, 99.) Horrors like these,
however, can scarcely be classed
among modes of sepulture ; nor, per
haps, is it necessary to mention the
tribes that drink their dead, having
first reduced them to powder. Suf
fice it to say that there is no mode
of disposing of dead bodies so sin
gular, or so revoking, that it has
not been adopted in good faith by
some among the interminable varie
ties of savage races.
A Nashville preacher’s little boy
was reading a religious work the
other day, and coming across the
word “matrimony,” was somewhat
puzzled as to its meaning. Turn
ing to his brother, who stood near
by, he asked what it meant.—
“What do you think it means ?
was the reply.” “Well, I don’t
kuow ; if it don’t mean h—l, I
don’t know what it does mean,” re
sponded the sprightly urchin.
Where the Gold Goes.— For
centuries it has been known that
the precious metals which we ex
changed for articles exported from
Asiatic countries disappear from cir
culation. The question where do
they go to is answered when we
know that gold and silver ornaments
arc much desired by these semi-bar
baric people. The females of ilin
doostan alone are said to possess
$500,000,000 worth of gold orna
ments.

Struggling with tlie

Science and Nerve Conquer the
Waves and Wind on the Irish
Coast.
W hen it was announced in the
city this morning that an American
seaman had in the gale of Tuesday
night jumped overboard a transatlan
tic steamer, and after swimming
for seven hours, had landed on the
Skibberecn coast, people while quite
prepared to give Americans credit
for doing big things, were yet nn
prepared for such a demand on
their credulity us this. The thing,
however, was done, and the hero of
it was Capt, Paul Boyton, of the
New Jersey Lifeguards, Atlantic
City. This gentleman, a profes
sional diver of well-known daring,
left New York about a fortnight
ago in the National Company’s
steamer Queen, taking with him a
patent swimming costume. It was
Capt. Boy ton’s intention when
from two to three hundred miles
distant from New York to jump
overboard and swim back, but the
commander of the steamer was a
man of little faith, and vetoed the
experiment. Capt. Boyton had
therefore to remain an involuntary
passenger until the vessel approach
ed the Irish coast, on Tuesday even
ing, when the commander, having
been repeatedly importuned, gave
his permission.
Capt. Boyton drew .on his India
rubber air tight suit and inflated
the air-chambers ; in his ai:-tight
sack he placed food for three days,
a compass, a buH’seye lantern, some
books (just to beguile the time on
the wator), some signal rockets, and
a United States flag. In his inside
pockets he placed a mail which the
passengers had given him to post;
he strapped his bowie knife and
axe to his side, and, grasping his
paddle, was lowered into the water,
amid the cheers of the passengers,
at half-past 9 o’clock p. m.
It was a wild, dark night ; he
was close to the Eastnut rock, with
Cape Clear three miles from him,
and Baltimore, toward which ho in
tended to make; was in a direct line
seven miles away. He lay on his
back, paddling vigorously, and
now the lights of the vessel were
lost iu the night. In a quarter of
an hour more his spirit almost
quailed, when, tossed high on the
crest of a wave, he could no lon
ger see the coast line or any lights.
Ihe wind blow, the raiii poured
down, and the tide set dead against
him.
He was drifting out to soa, and,
to add to the awful loneliness of his
situation, and to increase the dread
ful peril, a violent gale commenced.
That night for many hours no mail
boat crossed the Irish Channel, and
great destruction was done ou the
coast. And through these awful
hours of darkness this man was
tossing about at the mercy of the
waves some fifteen miles from land.
The wind was so violent that he
had to give ovr paddling, and with
one hand to shade his face (the on
y part of his body being exposed)
from the cutting blast. Once his
paddle was wrenched away by a
heavy sea, but it fortunatey came
into his hand again. For several
seconds a^ wave would completely
submerge him, then he would shoot
on to the crest and take breath be
fore he again was bmied down a
slooping mass of water which
seemed 100 feet to the bottom.—
Asa result of this tossing, ho be
came seasick, a thing he says,
which nevei happened to him be
fore. llis indomitable spirit,
ever, conquered everything, aod
about one o’clock the wind began
to blow directly on shore. His
paddlenvas plied vigorously, and at
three o’clock on Wednesday morn
ing he perceived he was near break
ers, and the rock-bound coast west
of Skibbereen loomed up before
him. Ilis danger now was not
less than it was during the height
of tlie gale, for as a wave would
raise him almost on a level with
the cliff tops, he could discern noth
ing but a threatening wall of rock.
lie made his way along parallel
to the coast, and fortunately light
ed upon almost the only safe land
ing place for miles round, lie saw
an opining in the cliffs and propell
ed himself cautiously toward it.—
While hesitatingly examining the
entrance a sea struck him, carrying
him ou ; another and another fol
lowed in quick succession, and, in
an almost senseless state he was
hurled high and dry oa the beach.
It was then 4 o’clock in the morn
ing, and lie had been nearly seven
hours on the water, traversing a
distance of thirty miles. The ap
paratus had behaved admirably,and
having divested himself of it lie
stood quite dry in his navy uniform,
which he wore beneath. That hav
ing been done he let off one of his
signal rockets without effect. It
showed him, however, a narrow
path in the rocks. Up this lie
clambered and got on to a moun
tain road, which brought him to
the coastguard station. He was
hospitably received there, and dis
covered that the place he bad land
ed at was Trefaska Right, some
miles east and south of Baltimore.
During the morning he reached
Skibbereen and posted the letters
intrusted to him, and arrived in
Cork on \\ ednesday night, where
he is now the hero of the hour.
Oil Monday he intends to swim
out of Queenstown harbor some dis
tance ; that will be followed the
week after by a little swim across the
Straights of Dover to Calais, towed
by a kite ; and to cap all, on his re
turn to the States he intends to car
ry out his original idea of jumping
overboard 250 miles from land and
swimming to New York or Long
Island. After lus achievement in
the gale on last Tuesday night these
last named experiments, startling
as they seem at first cannot be if
garded as impossible.

Don't Do It.
Don’t linger where your ‘love
lies dreaming.’ Wake her up and
tell her to get breakfast.
Don’t turn up your nose at light
things. Think of bread and taxa

to the mountains in very shame.
