Before thy foes thou wllt'not. quail,
Nor faint while in the coming fight.
But April’: day is hant’ning last,
I And all thy fees are watching still;
Speak louder than thou didst the last.
More plainly show the world thy will.
And from thy lips let thunder burst,
. Thy indignation then resound,
'To see the soil of Kansas cursed,
Her sons in gloomy dungeons bound.
Cheer on that gallant little baud,
Contendlng now with Slavery’s might,
And struggling to redeem the land,
That once reflected Freedom’: light.
Still darker grow the gloomy times,
Porteudmg that despotic sway
Wlllrule, while high and fearful crimes
Prevail unmasked in open day.
Connecticut, stand firm, stand firm ;
A land of thralldom never be,
No quarter give. accept no term,
But hasten on to victory.
And lend thy men, who bold in mind,
The legislative halls will grace,
Who never yet have sought to bind,
The chains of tyrants on thy race.
In other cllmes, far from thy care,
‘Thy sons are bearing direiul woes ':
01 raise them from their dark despair,
And terror spread among their fees.
Break not that mighty chain of States,
That once have spoken load with thee,
And honored him whom Slavery hates,
And cast their votes for Liberty.
Arouse, Connecticut, arouse,
Let not inaction o’er thee creep,
Perform to Freedom all thy vows,
And watchmen on thy towers keep.
Rest not, till over all the world,
No land shall be a land of slaves,
Until to every breeze unfurled,
The nag of independence waves.
Go onward then, 0 noble State,
And laurels bind around thy brow,
For lofty destinies await
Thy sons, if true to Freedom now.

And in the latest mode
He was dressed.

Such an interest in the late

His shoes were worn away,
And his pockets seemed to say

How sweetly the word home falls upon
the ear of the traveller. Oft when wan-
dering in foreign lands, a delicious throng
of sensations crowds his mind, till be ap-
pears transported to that simple country
home," in which his childhood, was passed.
The old weather beaten farm house, the
brook running wildly through the dell,
and the noble trees that surround it, are
all euhriued in his memory. Here are
the thrifty orchards, the fields of golden
grain, and there those cool, delicious riv-
ulets, that afford such refreshing pastime
to the weary traveller, in the warmer
seasons of the year. He thinks, per-
chance, of the time when a careless, hap-
py boy, he has thrown himself on the
grass, by the side of one of those riva-
lets, and dipping his fingers in the cool
water, has dreamed lazily away his leisure
hours. And, aside from his own enjoy-
meut, he thinks of that grey-haired fath-
er, the loviug mother who sacrificed her
own pleasure to add to his, and that gen-
tle, blue-eyed ‘sister, and the picture is
complete. ' And how preciously he cher-
ishes every memento of the friends that
are loved, guarding them with jealous
care and anxiety. Home is indeed a
precious place. The tear of regret
springs to the eye, when far away from
the loved oues,'on the thought of some
duty that has not been fulfilled. How:
delightful to witness the love that a fam-
ily bear to each other. And if ‘men do
not dwell in love on earth, surely they
cannot be united with that -glorious fami-
ly in Heaven. S. E. P.

—Gov. John Page, of Virginia, in a let-
ter from the city of New York to his son,
dated March 16 1789, says :
“ This town is“uot half so large as
§ enough to give us a dental history. We
I-‘olks saw the sudden change, I
And thought it wondrous strap, i
Philadelphia, noriu any manner to be
be compared to it for beauty and ele-
gance. ‘Philadelphia, I am well assured,
has more inhabitants than Boston and
New York together. The streets here
are badly paved, very dirty and narrow,
as well as crooked, and filled up with a
strange variety of wooden, stone, and
brick buildings, and full of hogs and mud.
The College, St. Paul’s church, and the
Hospital are elegant buildings. The
Federal Haul], also in which Congress is to
sit is elegant. What is very remarkable
here is that there is but one well of water,
which furnishes the inhabitants with drink
so that water is bought by every one that
drinks it, except the owner of this ‘well.
Eour carts are continually going about
selling it at three gallons for a copper—-
that is a penny for every three gollons of
water. The other wells and pumps serve
for washing and nothing else. I have not
time to say more about this place and the
other towns through which I passed, but
will by some other opportunity write you
whatever may be be worth your knowl-
edge.” ‘

MISCEMLLANY. .
A Nouns DEr:o.—Some months since,
a poor German neighbor of Gerritt Smith
was charged with murder. A" siugtilar‘
combination of unfavorable circumstances
induced a general belief that he was guil-
ty, aud the, public excitement against him
was very strong. Mr. Smith visited the
supected man in the jail, and became
convinced that he was innocent. In the
face of a hostile public sentiment, he vol-
uuteeredhis services as counsel for the
German, spent nearly a thousand dollars
from his own purse in collecting evi-
dence,‘and argued his case before the" jury.
By his untiring exertions, the dark cloud
of unfavorable circumstances was cleared
up, and the innocence of his client made
manifest, _not only to the court and jury
but ‘to the public. Mr. Smith, with char-
acteristic beneficence, crowded his mag-
uanimity by giving the poor’ German
small farm and $200 in money. Noble-
uess like this is its own praise audits own
reward. We wish it were less rare.
Ku.Lsn ms Max.—You have doubtless
heard of Thompson, the waggish.propric-
tor of the Atlanta Hotel, in ‘Atlanta,
Georgia." Well, onccupou a. time, two
gentlemen (the one decidedly under the‘
influence of a spiritual preseuce,'and the
other approximating the same condition)
stopped at the doctor’s hotel.‘ _‘In con-
sequence of some extraordinary manifes-
tations on the part of the “tightest” gent,
he soon found himself “ nigh unto a mass”
with the doctor. His friend however,
carried him off before matters reached a

“ Oun Manx ANN”1N 1'nr.1.Axo.———The
Philodelphia Sun publishes an extract
from a priva te letter from Mrs. Barney
Williams, dated Dublin, Ireland. We
quote as follows :-—
We commenced our engagement here
two weeks ago, and have been doing im-
mensely ; we are engaged for a. fortnight
longer. Barney has achieved another
‘great triumph, for here in the heart of
Ireland, where they are rather sensitive
about the Irish character 'ng persona-
ted, he has made the greates hit. * *
* As for myself, I have nothing to say,
beyond acknowledging, a fair share of the
applause. We have. performed twelve
nights, and I have sung “Mary Ann” fif-
ty three times, accompanied by a. full
chorus from the pit and galleries. We
produced, for the first time, last night,
“ Ireland as it was.” The audience seem-
ed to be wild with delight. We are stop-
ping at '.l.‘uthill’s Hotel, kept by the fath-
er of Henry Tuthill, the actor. We are
verry comfortable and enjoy ourselves
‘amazingly. At the conclusion of our en-
gagement here, we are going to Grunard
to pay a visit to Barney’: relatives ; then
we-start for Cork, Belfast and Limerick,
of course paying a visit to the beautiful
Lakes of Killaruey and Giant Causeway,
and then return to London for two months.
I wish you could enjoy a ride with us on
brook town, Dundrum or Ragthgar, and
Rathmine. You would be delighthed
with the wit and good humor of the Irish
peasants. Say to them that you are from
America, that alone is sufficient guaran-
tee that yon are welcome.”

Two Kinds of Kissing.
THE RUFF AND TUMBLE KISS.
The ueatest of all neat things, the sto-
ry of the Widow Lambkin, of whom Dr.
Meadows took so much toll when they
crossed the bridge on a sleigh ride, re-
minds me, says a down east friend, of one
of our Maine ybung fellows, who -thus
describes the battle and final victory, in
a fair fight for a. kiss of his sweetheart :
“ Ah, now. Sarah dear, give me a kiss
—just one-——and be done with it.”
‘ “ I won’t I so, there now.”
“ Then I shall have to take it, whether
or no.”
“ Take it, if you dare l”
So at it he went, rough and tumble.
Au awful destruction of starch now com-
meuced.- “The bow of my cravat was
squat up in less than no time. At the
next bout smash went shirt collar, and at
the same time some of the head fasten-
ings gave way, and down come Sally’s
hair like a flood in a mill dam broke loose,
carrying away half a dozen combs. One
plunge of Sally’s elbow, and my blooming
bosom ruflles wilted to the‘ couistency
and form of an after dinner napkin. But
she had no time to boast. Soon her neck
tackling began to sever, parted at the
throat, away went a. string of white
beads, scamperiug and running races eve-
ry way you could think of about ‘the
floor. She fought fair, however, "I must
admit ; and when she could fight no lou-
ger, for the want of breath, she" yielded
handsomely; her arms fell down by her
side——-those long, round, rosy arms-—her
hair hung back over the chair, her eyes
were half shut, as if she were not able
to hold them open a minute longer, and
therelay a little plump month all in the
air! My goodness! did you ‘ever see a
hawk pounce upon a. robin, or a bee on
a clever top l Even so I settled; and
when she came too, and threw up these
arms, and seized me round the neck and
declared she'd choke‘ me if I ever did so
‘again, and had a great miudto do it
now, I just ran the risk again, and the
more she choked me the better I liked it;
and she now puts her arms around my
neck,puts hr own lips in the way of mine
every day, and calls me her own- John
and don’t seem to make any fuss about it
at all. That was a very sensible girl,
and she makes a good wife, too, as I am
not ashamed to say anywhere.”
THE CLERICAL KISS. '
Quite different, but not less satisfacto-
ry, was the first. osculatory experience of
Dominic. Brown. -He had reached the
mature age of five-and-forty, without
ever having taken part in this pleasant
labial exercise. .
One of his deacous had a very charm-
ing daughter, aud for a year or two the
Dominic found it very pleasant to call
upon her three or four times a week. In
fact, all the neighbors said he was “ cour-
ting” her, and very likely he was, though
he had not the slightest suspicion of it
himself.
One Monday evening he was itting -as
usual by her, when a sudden idea popped
into his head. , '
“Miss Mary,” said he, “I’ve known
you a long time, and I never thought of
such a thing before; but now I would
like you to give me u kiss. Will you ?”
“ Well, Mr. Brown,” replied she, arch-
ing her lips in a. tempting way, “if you
think it would not--be wrong,-I‘ have no
objections.” ' '
“ Let us ask a blessing first,” said the
good man, closing his eyes, and folding
his hands. “For what we are about to
receive, the Lord make us thankful.” -
The chaste salute was then given and
warmly returned.
‘ “Oh, Mary, that was good!” cried,
Dominic, electrified by a new sensation.
“ Let us have another and return thanks.”
Mary did not refuse, and ’ when the op-
eration had been repeated, the Dominic
ejaculated in 9. transport of joy ;
“For the creature comforts which we
have now enjoyed, the Lord be praised,
and may they be sanctified to our tempo-
ral and eternal good.” _
History says that the fervent petition
of the honest Dominic was duly answer-
ed; for in less than a month Mary be-
came Mrs. Browu.—Lz'fe Illustrated.

More than they Bargalned for.
The contemptible practice of “ horn-
ning,” or serenading with horns,-tin pans,
and other discordant instruments, newly
married people, is still to prevalent in this
country. One took place in an enjoining
town, last week, in which the homers got
the worst of it. A lady, who had been
the house-keeper, for some years, of a re-
spectable physician, was, married to a
gentleman residing some distance away.
While she was making preparation for
the wedding, it come to her ears that a
party of young follows were making ready
to serenade the wedding party" with tin
pans and horns. She applied to the doc-
tor for advice and prescription. He
gave her a plentiful dose of ipecac, which
she mixed in a coke ‘designed for the in-
vited guests. The night of the wedding
came, and with it the tin pan serefiaders.
The marriage ceremony had scarcely beed
performed before the ears of ' the bride,
bridegroom, and guests were saluted with
the most hideous sounds from without.-—
The doctor thought it was best to invite
the outsiders in, and treat them, to stop
their noise. He accordingly appeared at
the door, and politely asked the serenad-
ers to come in. The invitation was ac-
cepted, and the bride, with a degree of
magnauimity altogether unexpected, prof-
fered the wine and cake with her own
hands. They all partook, and went quiet-
ly away ashamed of what they had done
—-conquered by kindness. They had
scarcely reached their respective homes
before they were seized with sickness at
the stomach. The doctor had a dozen
calls at once, Mid all his patients appear-
ed to be affected in a similar manner.-
As he knew what the malady was, he, of
course, did not give lumself any uneasi-
ness. A thorough emetic, no doubt, had
a. salutary effect, and the patients. felt
better after ejecting the bile, which had
caused their first uneasy mptoms. The
verdict of the decent pe e in the neigh-
borhood where this took place, _was.de-
cidedly in favor of the bride.

A Husband’: Confession
I never undertook. but once to set at
naught the authority of my wife. You
know her way-—cool, quiet, but deter-
mined as ever grew. Just after we were
married, and all was goingnice and cozy,
she got me in the habit of doing all the
churning. She never asked me to do it,‘
you know, but then she-—why it was
done just in this way. ' She finished
breakfast before me one morning, ‘and
slipping away from the table, she filled
the churn with cream, and set it just
where I couldu’t help seeing what was
wanted. So I took hold regularly enough
and churned till the butter came. She
didn’t thank me, but looked. so nice and
sweet about it, that I felt well paid.-
Well, when the next churning day came
along, she did the same thing, and I fol-
lowed suit and fetched the butter... Again
and again it was done just so, and I was
regularly in for every time. Not a word
said, you know, of course." - 4
Well, by-and-by, this began to berath-
er irksome. I wanted she should ' just
ask me, but she never did, and I couldu’t
say anything about it so on we went.-
At last I made a resolve that I would
not churn another time, unless she asked
me. Churning day came, and when my
breakfast—-she always gotinice break-
fasts—when that was swallowed, there
stood the churn. I got up, and stand-
ing a few minutes just to give her a
chance, put on my hat and walked out
doors. I stopped in the yard to givevher
agchauce to call me, but note word said
she,'and so, with a. palpitating heart, I
moved on. I went down town, up town,
and all over the town, and my foot was
as restless as N oah’s dove. I felt as if I
had done a wrong—-I didn’t exactly feel
how—but there was an indescribable sen-
sation of guilt resting upon me all the
forenoou. It seemed as if dinner time
never would come, and as for going home
one minute before dinner, ,I would as soon
have cut my cars off. ‘So I went fretting
and moping around town till dinner time
come. , ,
as a criminal must when the jury.is.out,
having in their hands his,de'stiu'y—'—lifé or
death. I couldn’t make up my mind
how she would meet me, but some ' kind
of a storm I ‘expected. Will you believe
it ?—she never greeted me with a sweeter
smile, never had a better dinner for ‘me
than on that day, but there stood the
churn just where I left it i Not a word
was passed. I felt confoundedly cut, and
every mouthful of that dinner seemed as
if it would choke me. She didu’t ‘pay
any regard to it, however, but went on
just asif nothing had happened. Before
dinner was-over I had again resolved, and’
shoving back my chair, I marched to the
chum and went at it in thevold .'way.—
Splash, drip, rattle, splash, drip, rattle-—-I
kept.,it up. As if in spite, .-the butter
never wasso long coming. I supposed
the cream, standing so long, ‘had get
warm, so I redoubledmy efi'orts.. ~Ob_sti-
note Inatter—-the afternoon were away
while I was churning. I paused at last,
from real exhaustion, when she spoke for
the first time : “ Come, Tom; my dear,
you have rattled that butter-milk quite
long enough, if it is only for fun you are
doing it I” I knew how it wasin a; flash.
She had brought the butter in the fore-
noou, and left the churn standing with
the butter-milk in, for me to exercise
with. I never set up -for myself in house-
hold matters after that. .
