That prince of good fellows, John

literature:

It i* evidently the purpose of the
Administration to build up the Inde-
peudeut party in Georgia, rather than
the republican. How then can a
democrat adhere to the Independents?
The course of the Administration
makes the Independent party virius
ally republican.

Mr. James Minor, a wealthy hachc-
lor of Nelson county, Kentucky, is

dentally tunned to death. At the

homestead larin, the dwelling oil
which was at that dny one ofihe tint

ing been erected at a eustot #10,000.
It caught fire and was consumed to
ashes. He erected a new home at a
like cost, only to become in its turn
food for the hungry flumes. He sub
sequently engaged in the lumber busi
ness, end lost a large and vnluahlo lot
of lumber by fire. He then visited
h'« brother, residing in Holt’s Bnt. I

mother, and while they were converts

seemed to dog him through life, the

It is upon the baby’s kisses that
the heart of the mother lives. Oh.
the little ones that have been hid
awav baptised with tears and kisses!
the kisses that were uiven not back
again and yet which were so dear—
so dear.
’Hear, as remembered kisses after
death,’ say. Tennyson.
Tho kiss ol respect is given upon
th. forehead; that ot admiration upon
the eyes; that of beauty upon tho
cheeks. The kiss of love is given
upon tho lips.
It is said men do not waste kisses
upon each other when they can do so
much better, hut in every other rltnp-
ter of tlio llible some old patriarch
falls on tlio neck of some other patri
arch and kisses him, and tiiu lather of
the prodigal ran and kissed him.
Tho late Princess Alice, eldest
daughter ot Queen Victoria, and
wile ot an Austrian prince, lost her
file a year or two ago through a kiss;
two of her children died of diptheria,
and she could nit resist the pleading
of her crying buy to ‘kisa mamma;
she kissed his palling lips in an agony
of mother love and took tho dread
disease whicli resulted fatally.
No doubt the kisses of young lov
ers taste better than any luxury yet
discovered—they must be spoony and
innocent and untutored—for kisses
like other nectar ot the gods, lose
their flavor in time.

Never was there a more uoble son
