Who, that ever lost a brother or a si ter, could read these lines without a falter to tl voice of tear in the eye ? ' . They toll mc first and carly levo Outlives all other dreams ; But the memory of the first great grief To me more lasting seems. The grief that marks our dawning youth To. memory ever clings, And o'er the path of future years A lengthened aaadow flings. Oh : oft my mind recalls tho hour When to my father's homo Death came an uninvited guest From, bis dwelling in the tomb. Thad.not seen his face-before I shuddered at the sight ; And I shudder yet to think upon The anguish of that nigh t ! j A youthful brow and ruddy cheek Became all cold and wan, An eye grew* dim in which tho light Of radiant fancy shono ; Cold was the cheek andeold tho brow, Thc eye was fixed and dim ; And there I moaac i a brother doad, Who would have died for him 1 I know not if'twas summer then, I know not ii 'twas spring ; But if the birds sang iu the trees I did not hear them sing; If flowers came forth to dock tho oarth Their bloom I did not soe ; I looked upon ono withered dower, And none oise bloomed for mo ! A sad and silent timo it was Within the house of-woe ; All eyos wore dim and overoaat, And every voice was low. And from each cheek at internals Tiie blood appeared to start, As if recalled in sudden baste To aid tho sinking heart 1 Softly wo trod, as if afraid, To mar the sleeper's sleep, And stole last looks of his sud lace For memory to keep. Wiih him the agony was o'er And now tho pain was <-,urs, As thoughts of bis sweet childhood roso, Liko odor from dead flowers. And when at Itxst he was homo afar From thc world's weary strife, How oft in thought did.we again Li vu o'er his little lifo. Hii every look, his every word, His very voice's tone, Cuire back to us Hke'thingi whoso worth Is only prized when geno! The grief has past with years away, And joy has boon n:y lot ; But one is long remcmlorcd, And tho other soon forgot. The sayest hours trip lightly by, And leave thc t.niiitsst trace, But thc deep traci: that sorrow wears No tim? can e'er efface. KOW Silt. KEITH MANAGED. ': Mau? work is from sun to aun, but wo mao's work is never done," quoted Mrs. Keith. She ha<l just finished ber work for the evening, every thing was filled, ond she was taking up her sewing-, when Mr. Keith up*e? a vinegar bottle and a bowl of gravy in the kitchen cupboaid, rumaging after a knife which was in his pcc??et ali the time. Mrs. Keith relit, qui s h ed her idea of a little season of quiet, and went out to set matters ia order again. Mr. Keith followed to oversee her-a habit some men have. M I wish you would try to bc a little more careful, Henry. You do not realise kow many things 1 have to sot- ttv' " Jiirmph !" said Mr. Keith sitting, down in a basket of freshly ironed clothes ; " I nev er would complain of such" a trifle as that? If I ciin'c know I should think all the womtn were inslavery." * And you'would be correct, Henry? You haven't the faintest idea-" M Nonseusc, Msry ! Why, I could do your work, and three limos as mach more, and get all through ht ten o'clock !"' ? " Could you, indeed V "To besare, if yon would only give me the chanco of it,.'5 1 ? You sbnll have it," said Mrs. Keith, quiet ly.. I lnvo long wanted to visit my Annt Susan. I will do sonow, and you may keep house. I shall have to cook up something-" '.As if I couldn't cook I You will do noth ing'ef the kind, Mary.'11 shall live likes prince, mid you will seo ht?w nice I will keep every thing. You will hardly know the house when yon return " " I dare say," remarked Mra. Keith, " but when can I go?" " To-morrow, if you like" - " And you are sure you can manage ?" "Sure!"' what a look ho gave her: "yon shall see." Mrs. K".ith laughed a little to herself-when h?r husband "left herat thc depot, and turued his step, homoward to clear the breakfast thinga and prepare dinuer. She only wished she could be there iovisible, and sec him manage, H Lot me om? soliloquized Keith, entering the kitchni ; u I'll wash the dishes f?rut and I'll put on one of Mary's dresses to keep me lean.3' : He fastened it around his waist - wi'h a pin, rolled up liis-aleever?r und looked about him. The hie was out, but after mack trou ble he succeeded in rekindling ^t, and then began to wash l'je'dishes. Ile took them to tie sink, plugged up the spout, ??d put them to l??^k iu a pail of cold water. " Tb ere,/th* Y Ve washed," said kc. to bun t-elf ; " now for Homo thing to wipe lhen'i on.. I'll take th? table cloth. Such a fuss aa wu men du m.?ke About ivork. Why, I could" wash all tho dishes in tho neictiborhood io hali a-day. This stew-pan smells of grease.

The boy put his thumb to his nose, an Mr. Keith after slamming the deor-as me always do whe? they are out of temper-re turned to thc kitehen. The fire was oat, an' the room decidedly smoky. . - "I'll go dows cellar and bring np som coal," said he, and started bristly down th stairs. On the seconrT'atep he put his foo through a rip iu his drees skirt-stumbled ant fell to the bottom'of tho cellar-smashing i basket of eggs, ?nd knocking over a shel loaded with paua of milk. .

The fire made again,'Mr. Keith betbon;;h him of, dinaer. He looked at his time-piece it was one o'clock. .Almost ti rae for caliere "WbatshoubJ he havo ' for diiaer 1 Ho.ha< heard-his ?nfc aay -thil a rice padding ant boiled jtet&toes, and broiled ?Utk, He filled the basin wUh rice, atirred iu : little snpor, dropped in an egg, and set th< vessel into the oven. The potatoes he washet in soapsuds, that they certainty might bi clean, and put them into the teakettle, bo cause they would boil quicker.' The steam was friziijjng in the fryingpan and he was proceeding to *>t tho tablo, whex the bell rang. He caught np the pan from, the fire-tc keep it from burning-and made haste to tht froit door. Then he remembered it woulc 'not br? just the thing to go to the door with J frying-pan in bis hand, so^he deposited it or. the parlor 8ofa,'and answered th? ring. Mrs. Dr. Mudge was on the steps, dress?e in her best. " Yes-I, ' dare say," stammered Keith, my wifo is absent, and I am playing Bridg ec "Walk iu.", Mrs. Mudge sailed is to the parlor, whicl was darkened to exclude tie sun, and without stopping fro Ivfok at her seat, sunk into thc frying-pnn on the Mfa. "Jupiter!" cried Mr. 'Kaiib, "you hay? done it,, now !" Mrs. Mudge sprang np; ihe grease drip ping from the rich silk on the carpet. Hei face grew dark. She was tempted tb-say something cutting, but managed to control herself; bowed haughtily, and swept out ol tha house. Keith returned to the kitchen ? little crest fallcu, fur Mrs. Mudge was a lady before' whom ho desired to appear particularly well, There was a trpmcadous- cracking in .the oven! He thought of his>pudding, and looked in. Thc burnt rice bad hopped nil over the oven ;-the bttain had-melted apart, and the puddiDg was not done. He Shut the door upon the rums in disgust, and looked after thc potatoes ouly to find them boiled to a perfect jelly. Arid just as be made tuo diacovcry there was a sharp peal nt the door bell. ''Crenion! there's that' abominable bell again. I wish fulks woubj stay at hjmel I'll lock all tho doors, and cat all the bell wircj, after to-day.". At thc door he found Mr. apd Mrs. Fidget and their children. " My clear Mr. Keith ! how do you do ?" cried Mrs. Fidget. ""?Vc were in town, and thought we'd just' step into dinner. "\Yhere is Mrs. Keith?" 1 ''She's gone away," said Keith, ruefully, wondering what be should feed on j "walk ia do. J am'thc housekeeper to-day." " Yes,- KO' f TOOuTd^T&dge. But of courre you make a splendid one. I remember you used to be frequently telling Mrs. Keith and myself bow v.ery easy housekeeping must be. It must le mero play to y?u. Don't put yourself Mit, I beg." "Put myself, iudced," cried Keith, retreat ing to the kitchen. "Good gracious! whak shall I do? i'd give a hundred dollars if Mary was only ben- ! Where shall I begin ?" . r^e drew ant thc table and set it without any clolh ; then took oil' the plates and put on a cloth, the very one he had wiped thc dishes on.. Thc task completed, he put on Gome more potatoes and some more steak ; burned,the steak to a cinder; took off his potatoes .when he did bis moat, and put all upon the table. -.There was ; loaf of baker's bread in thc.cupboard ; he paraded that, and called his guys;.- to dinner. ' A. quizzical smile spread over Mrs. Fid get's face at the sigh t-of tko ropast. Keith was in a old perspiration. "Ma, ruy-plato's all greasy, and so's my knife. I-can't eat on dirty diohes," cried lit tle Johnny Fidget. . " And my fork is wet all over with water that'*, dropping ttl' the table-cloth ; and my tater ain't half biled," cried littlo Jane Fidget.

A Chapter on Kissing. An exchange, who seems to know what he is saying, gives tho following lecturo on thc science of kissing : People will kiss, yetnot oncin ono hundicd knows how to extract bliss from lovely lips no more than they know how to make dia monds ont of charcoal. And yot it is easy, at least for us ! This little item is not alone for new beginners, bnt for the many who go to it like hunting coons or shelling corn. First know whom yon arc to kiss. Don't make a mistake, although a mistake may be good. Don't jump up liko a trout for a liv, and smack a woman on the nock, on the ear, or on tb* corner of the forehead', on the end of the nose, or kneck off her waterfall, or jerk her bonnet ribuon, inhaste to g*t throogh. The gentleman should bo a little tho tallest. He 6uould have a clcau face, a kind eye, a mouth full of expression iastcad of tobacco. No noise,, no fuss, no flut'erini" and squir ming like houk-impaled worms. Ki-.sing dou't hurl ; it don't require a brass band to nr,kc it legal. Don't job down on a beautiful tnoath as if you were epearing for frogs ! Don't grab and yank thc lady as if she was a struggling colt ! Don't muss her hair, scratch down her collar, bite her cheek, squiz rle her rich ribbons, and leave her mussed, rumpled and mixed ! Dou:l ila vor your kisses with onions, tobacco, gin*cocktails, lager beer, brandy, etc. ; for a maudling kiss is worse than toe itch to a delicate, lovicg, sensible woman.

"?uly the day before -yesterday, in Lex ington, thirteen discharged colored soldier* stood in the streets, in full sight of Henry Clay's monument, with their bodies lacerated, * their badi.s bleeding from thecruel lash, their heads cat to tho scalp, and one or two of them wikh their eyes put out I and what fbf, do you suppose*? Simply for going- to their former masters and asking for their wi vea and children \ I appealed to the civil au thorities in their behalf,, but was told that thero was no lawjn Kentucky, to .help them. I heard there of a ala ve to be soid on a cer tain day ;'5I made an arrangement with the Masler Commissioner to bur. him myself, as ike last slave to le sold in Kentucky. "lam here to protect just such men as those from the cruelty and barbarism of the 'bluegrass region,' and do you think I will see men who have been in the wac three y?ara with myself maltreated and butchered^ Ko, not by any means. .1 wo women were shot dead by their former master for asking and tryiug to get their children back, in Ken tucky, and I fear her Legislature .will ?ot l?o justice to the negro. They ore good men enough in every thing but thc negro, and that stirs up every thing that is bad and bit ter-in their nature.

' Tito abo.-o is an extract from a speech do- * livered by General Fisk ih Cincinnati on Thursday last, and reported in the Cincin nati Commercial of the 19th instant. The statements made are clear, distinct and un equivocal as to persons, time and place, and well calculated by such distinctness to obtain credence, especiaily among the peoole of the 'North. Yet every statement is'an unmiti gated falsehood. We have made inquiriesjof both black aud whito te ascertain if there was a single grain of truth on which the structure of malicious calumny could hate ? been built. We knew of course that' it was impossible that there should have been thir teen lacerated, bleeding and maimed discharg ed soldiers on the streets ?f Lexington,' where there was thea a com pan f ef negro soldiers stationed, without some commotion being'ex* cited. Our inquiries were devoted to wheth er there was a single discharged soldier who had received, riot stripes and wounds, but any^ill usog? from his former owner. Net one was known to black or white. General Fisk made a speech to the colored population of this place last week, but we\are assured made nd allusion to soy such barbar ides. His statements were made in Crojc^n nati, where there was co one present to con tradict him, and were intended exclusively for Northern circulation and effect.* We have also made inquiries of the Idas tor Commissioner cohcerniug'the less impor tant statement as to the sale of thc slave girl, and foond it equally destitute of truth. It has too often been the habit of the South to treat with derision or silent contempt the gross falsehoods circulated cs to their barbar ities. In obedience to our duty as a con duc tor of the press, we denounce the statements given above ns infamous lies, and we. brand their author as au infamous liar.
