S. C. DY 'ETITE:. They were joined in bply wedlock, And the days were gliding by, Ks a gentle-tlowing streamlot, Or tho stars in cloudless sky. But the time had come for parting With the friends of early years; And the bride's glad face was.clouded And her dark eyes dewed with tears. There were farewells sadly spoken, And the mothers's turn drew nigh But her heart. was alinost breaking When she breathed thts ;i "goodbye," And a dark veil of sadness O'er the young b:ide'c spirit fell As Mbe felt the gentle prossuro Of the lipts she loved so well. A long embrace-a blessing . Another kiss-a prayer. And a loneliness so crushing Camn o'er the mother there. " She had given he)r to another lcr child-the olq/ one; Andi her heatrt with glom was shaded, As lie sky wit honit (he sun. A Fortunate Kiss, 'rite following pretty little story is narrated by Fredika Bremen, who vouches for its truthfulness : "itn the great IJtiversity of Upsula, in Swedet, lived it young studett, a noble youth with great love for stud ics, but without means if pursuing them. He was poor and without connections. Still ho studied, ltved in great pover ty,but keeping a cheerful heart, and .Arsp'g, .64w-look -nt.tbo'. fnttnre, whid looked so grim to hi-ini. s giiod l'a mot and excellent qualities tade hint beloved by his comrades. Ono day he was standing at the squaro with 1omo of them yprattling away anl hour of leisure, when the attention of the young ie:t became arrested by the young and ele:gant lady, who, by the side of an oldor one, was slowly walk ing over tha plactl. It was the daugh tet of the Governor of Upsula, living in the city, and the lady was her gov erneos. Site was generally known for her goodness and gentleness of charac ter, and looked at with admiration by all the students. As the young men stood gazing at her as she passed, like a graceful vision, one of thema sudden ly exelaimed : "Vell, it would be w.>rth son^mthing to hve a kiss from such it mouth." The poor student, the hero of our story wwno looked on that pure, angel in face, exclaimed, as if by inspira tion "W ell, I think I ebuld have it !'' "What ?" cried his friends itI a cho rus; tire you erazy ? D you know her 1" "Not at all," he amswered, "but I think s113 would kiss me if I asked her." "What ? in this place, and before al otir eyes." "Yes." "Freely ?" "Yes, freeley." "Voll, if she would give you a kiss in that manner, I will- give you a thousand dollars ?" exelaintod one of the party. "And I, and I, exclaimed three or four others, for it happened that sev eral rioh were there, and the bots ran high.pimprobable ans event. Tho chtt was made and receiveil itn IeRahan we take to toll it. Otur staro (my authority tells not. whemther heo was plain or handsome ; I have may poouliar roaeoon for believing that ho was rather plain, but singus. larly good looking at the same time,) immnedliately wa.ked' up to the. young lady and said :e *~Mineo frutlimn' my fortuine ik no*.

The young lady listened attentively, and at his ceasing to speak, she said blushingly, but with great sweetness : "If by so little a' thing, so Much good can be effected, it would be.fool ish in imeo to refuse your request; and publicly, in the open squard, she kiss ed him. The next lay the student wassent for by. the Governor, IIe wanted to see the man who dared to seek a kiss frori his daughter in that way, and whr in she consented to kiss. lie received hini with a' scri.tini zing bow, but after an hour's conversa tion was so pleased with him that he ordered him to.dine at his table dur ing his studies at Upsula. Our young friend pursued his stu dies in such a manner that it soon made him the most promising student at the University. 'T'hree years are now passed since the first kiss, when the young n1Di was allowed to give a second kiss to the daughter of the Governor as his wife. lie became, later, one of the most noted scholars in Sweden, and was much respected for his character. His works will endn?e while' time lasts, among the wo"ks of^cicte and from this happy uition sprang a fani ly well known in Sweden at the pres ent time, whose wealth and high posi tion inl society are regarded as trifles in comparison with its .goodncss and love. Ben. Butler the Author of the Rebellion Extraordinary Revelation. Alexander F.

Mr. Pratt says: "Iutlerjiad'bet.n sent to that, Convention,tptind was instructed to vote fur Stepflhen A. hotglts , but during the whole of that struggle, which lasted two weeks, he voted presistently for the nominat'on of Jeff. havis. "At that time," contiines Mr. Prhtt., "secession was openly advocated, and was as plain to us in the distance, as it is now to all, in the background. Six or eight weli-drilled and well-armed and equipped companies were then daily parading the streets of that city. One by one were onr Northern delegates led into tio private room of St. Aidrew's hail by Butler, and others, where they were mpt by.such mn as Slidell, Masoji and others, who have thieir miillions in cold to purchase the nmii tnt ion of a Southern man. Iow mntich Butler re ceived we neither know nor care, but as we said before, the last speech we ever heard from untler, and it probably will remain the last, unless we may have the good fortune to hear him speak from the gallows, was at a secret tpeeting hold on8 evening after he and the SouthMrn delegates had a'ceded frot our conven tion. We obtained admittanco that evening, through a friend from Alabanma, and for nearly an hotr listened to a speech from Butler upon secession.

J. A. IIOARR. The Oonstitutional Amentnient Bojeoted by Georgia. Mt.i.F.:uovr..:. November 9.-The Gegislatu re of Georgia has rcjected the constlitutional amendment. ''he resolu tion of rejection reads as follows: "Resolved, That the Legislature of Georgia declines to ratify the amend. Iment. adding a fourteenth article to the Consti ut.ionu of the United. Stnte3" A motion was mde in the Segato to postpone the consideration of the reso tion to some future day, but the resoln tion was finally pressed to a voto and adopted-yeas 36, nays none -a full Senate voting. In the Ilomse of Reprqsentatives, the vote on thi, resolution stood, yeas 136, nays 2. The two members voting may wore Efington, of Gihner Counts', and Iumphrevs, of Fannin County. T1he conumittee, on reporting the resolutioni accompanied their repel t with a lengthy argument, the substance of which is as dollowa 4 F.,d,-T.J,tje States of'.thte United btates alone are authorized t> consider conutitiutiotlal amelidlmnts. S-contl +.That such amend ments maust be prop o"t.d by two.tirds of Congress, or by the Legislatures of two.thirds. of the States. Third. That. Georgia was one of fl'o original States, and must alway's have continued such, unless she reserved the right to secede, or gave Lite Federal Government the right to ject her. The report adduces the leg. islation of Congress; the Proclamnation of the President; anl, rhe issues made during the war by the Government of the United Sta.es, to prove that it was held by that Government that no State could secede, and thaut the war only in ruptel the practical relations of the States thereto ; and that the su.ppression of the rebellion was to restore these re lations fuly, w h-n the Constitution was to become the supreme law of the land.' The report then proceeds to declare that Georgia and the other Southern Staties are integral parts of Congress, and tlrat n constitutional Coingress can be con Veted while such integral portions ai-u forcibly excluded. It says that the adoption of the etancipation amenl teuit is no -precedelt for the .adoption of this one. The Southern SUates, at that time, had no delegations to be re Ceived into Congress, as now, when denied adiittance. The report then concludes by saying that, as the amend-. ment in question was not proposed by two-tl.irds of a constitutional Congress, the cominittee recommend the adoption of the resalution given above.

BorI.r:n Pr:AsxC Fon Mil.c,+1 Cows AND I-toos.-"Boiled pease" says a cor; respondent of the Richmond (Va.) Farncr, "as food for milch cows, and for fattening hogs, is far superior to corn, meal, or any thing else I have ever seen tried.: My honest opinion is, thitt; two busheis of pease are superior to, or worth more for fattealing hogs, or to. increase the niilk of cows, than three bushels of cor;i 4pplied to the same ob ject. In experimenting, have found that hogs iiot only fatten double as fast, but the improvdment of their - general condition was in like proportion." "With respect to cows," ho says, "'he effect was in ten (lays to double tno yield of milk. My plan in using them was to soak them in water for twelve hours or through the night before boiling them.. By this process their bulk was doubled, and consequently require less boiling. Besides this advantago I found soaked pease an excellent substitute for green food having not only the effect on stock produced by turnipe, carrots and beets in inproving the milk properties, *but imparts. none of the bad taste to the milk, which is often derived from the green crops above referred to. It was, moreover, found to exhibit fattening qualities almost equal to those of the boiled pea." Hie concludes by saying -I regard the soaked pease for food in water as decidedly superior to all root crops,. and recommend that my brother farmers should loose no time in testing' its value in their own practice."

A proper site of ducks flew up and down that river, l tell ye, and a few of 'em lit down by a marsh and went to feedin' on muscles.
