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 nah Ad vert iser. The Democrat that Beat Beast Butler —Next to the man who hit Billy Patterson, the man who beat Beast Butler for Congress in Mas sachusetts is just now the individ ual who the people desire to know. The following dispatch from Mr. Thompson, to the Manhattan Club of New York, is the first thing we have seen in print from him. It is gratifying to know that Butler was beaten on a square Democratic is sue : Salem, Mass., Novembei s.—lt will be impossible for me to be with you tonight. The principles upon which the victory in the Massa chusetts Sixth District has been 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 ty of duties, liberal and just laws for till ; fourth, the necessity of re buking the interference of the Fed eral office-holders in caucusses and elections.

Live as long as you may, the first twenty years arc the longest btyf of your life, How Ihe Head as*e Dis posed ol* by Different 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. A $20,000 libel suit has been in stituted against the Talbottan Stan dard. Cork. Ireland (Get. 22). Correspondence of Jthe New York Herald, Struggling with tlie Ocean. 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. A Chapter t Hauliers.

It is • great misfortune to have children reared in the influence of a scold.- The effect of the everlasting com plaining and fault-finding of such persons is to make the young who hear it unamible, malicious, callous hearted, and they often learn ta take pleasure in doing the very things for which they receive such tongue-lashings. As they are al* ways getting the blame of wrong* doing, whether they deserve it of not, they think they might as well do wrong as right. They lose all ambition to strive for the favorabl* opinion of the faultfinder, since they see they always strive in vain.— Thus a scold is not only a nuisance, hut a destroyer of the morals of children.
