A KISS.
\ moment, and their lips have met'
In but a moment more, they sever:
To them, the lips are meeting yet.
Aye, and shall meet, to them, for
ever I
For to the lips their souls had flown,
And there these souls were sweetly
blended,
And souls thus interfused are one _
While bliss endures, when hie is
True kisses pass not, but abide;
The lips may part, the souls are
clinging,— , . .
Their love, on fortune s desert
side,
A joyful fount evermore upspn go g,
The kiss that, has been, still is now.

BY FATHER KTAN.
Oat of the silence make me a song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low ;
Let the loneliest music sound along
And wing each note with a wail oi
woe,
Dim and drear
As hope’s last tear,
Out of the silence make me a hymn,
Whose souads are shadows sole and
dim.
Cut of the stillness in your heart—
A thousand songs are sleeping
there —
Make me but one, thou child of art.
The song of a hope in a last despair,
Dark and low,
A chant of woe,
Out of the stillness, tone by tone,
Soft as a snow-flake, wild as a moan.
Out of the darkness flash me a song
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as "a lone star sweeps
along
The mystical shadow of the night,
Sing it sweet.
Where nothing is drear, or dark, or
dim, , . rr
And earth'songs melt into Heaven s

"spelling. --
It is aa oft observed fact that
good speVlers of the English lari'
guage are few, In fact it is gener
ally agreed that of all languages the
.English is not only the most difficult
to speak, but the most difficult to
write correctly. This is not strange,
when it is borno in mind that there
is scarcely any rule for spelling the
Anglo-Saxon words of the English
language, sixty per cent of which is
Anglo-Saxon’
To tlmoughiy appreei to the point
in question, it is ouly necessary to
read the following extract:
Spelling is a curious performance
after all The arrangeing of letters
is anotner curious affair uo man can
understand. Who was the tyrant of
speech that had the impudence to do
mand that while n o spelts no, that
flow must be used for flo, and
be a u for bo? Why uiU'-t wo hide
with one hand and guide with the
other, to be taied before a court and
then left to subside in prison, to
wonder that if ou o spells one, why
oneder is not allowable, or that an o
is needed more jin prison than in
prism. Why put one pin copy and
two in sloppy ? and if ropy is cor
ceet, why cannot soapy be spelled
without an a? We tease the girls,
sneeze when taking cold, enjoy a
breeze more than we do fleas, eat
pease, bond our knees and thus, by
degrees, take our ease’ It would be
absurd to spell word with u, or to
knock the i out of a bird, as all of
us have heard, or, at least, inferred ;
though, Know —no, we do not
know, but Contes* to guess, that some
bate demurred when a bullet has
whirred at a man who has erred be
cause his senses were blurred.
Thus write, we know is right,
' (Homier.
when we see it written writio ; but
wheu we see it written rite, we know j
it is not written right: for write, to
be written right, must always be
ariten write, no matter what rite
consumes the double u, so that it
need no: b* used in written auy more
ttiun iu kitten or bitten.
The niSi who ate his freight had
to wait ti l lie learned his weight, and
though he walked to and fro, he spur
ned the gait of the man who, to do
hi duty unlocked th® gate and sent,
without a cent, the man to grief whose
freight was beef, of which he did
prate. If a rnun takes aim to kill his
game, lie must not maim, or lie’ll
lose his name; and it a boy wipes
his nose on his clot lies, his reward will
be blows, or kicks from toes, and lie
will not feel so glorioui as uproari
ous. *

A GUM.
The following gem <f oratory wa.-
uttered by thsdate Dor. Lan b>n ' .
Haynes, at a social party given tu the
distinguished member*’ of the bar, the
bench and the Legislature, during the
session of the Supreme Court, at
Jackson, Mississippi, some years ago.
During the evening Gen. IN’ B, boi v
rest rose ?atid said: Gentlemen —I
propose the health ot the eloquent
gentleman from East Tennessee, n
country sometimes cal e l the ‘‘God
forsaken ”
Mr. llaj •nes responded : Mr Chair'
man and gentlemen—l plead gumy to
ihe “soft impeachment.” I wio
born in East Tennessee, on the banks
of tha Wautaga, which in in the LndG
an vernacular means “beautiful river,’
ami & beautiful river it is. 1 have
stood upon its banks, in my childhood,
and looked down through its
glassy waters, and have seen a heaven
below, and then looked up and belie and
a heaven above, reflecting nke two
mirrors, each in the other, its moons
and planets and trembling stais. Away
from its banks of rock and cliff, hem
lock and laurel, pine and cedar,
stretches a vale back to the distant
mountains, as beautiful and exqu site
an any in Italy or Sw.tzeriand. Ihe e
stands the Great Unicot, the Great
Roane, the Great Black, the Smoky
Mountains, among the loftiest in
America, on whose summits the
clouds gather of their own accord
even on the brightest -day. ihere L
hava seen the great spirit of the storm
after noontide, go and take his evening
nap in his pavilion of darkness and ot
clouds. I have then seen him arouse
at midnight, as a giant efreshed by
slumber, and cover the heavens witti
gloom and darkness; hive seen him
awake the tempest; let loose the led
lightenings that ran along the uiouii'
tain-top for a thousand miles, sw ijiei
than an eagle’s flight*in heaven 1 hen
I have seen them stand up and dunce
like angels of light in the clouL, to
the music of that grand organ or na
ture, whose keys seemed to have been
touched by the fingers ot Divinity in
the hall of Eternity, that responded
in notes of thunder that resounded
through the universe, ihon 1 have
seen the darkness drift away beyond
the horizon and the morn get up from
her saffron bed like a queen put on her
robes of light, come forth from tier
paiace in the sun, and stand tiptoe on
the misty mountain-top, and while
night fled from before her glorious lace
to his bed chamber at the pole, she
lighted the green vale and beautiful
river, where I was born and playeo in
childhood, with a smile ot sunshine.
0 beautiful land of mountains, witn
the sun painted cliffs, how can I ever
forget thee!
