WHAT I LOST BY KISSING KATE. BY WILLIAM E. rARDOlL. There were Lizzie, Kute nnd Mary, All three beautiful und young, But the name of Mary ever Lingered longest oil my tongue, And I hopes in secret cheritihed Of it home where she was queen, But one day those sweet hopes perished - And left life a desert scene. They and I were once together, Frolicking beneath the moon. In tho mildest of mild woollier? Iu the odorous month of June. And sweet Mary said, " Since kisses In the moonlight time nre due, I would take this best of kisses From Halo's lips, if I were you." Scarcely had the thought been spoken, Ere, with heart and eye elate, 1 had claimed the honied token From the rosy lips of Kate. But, alack ! iu thus obeying, I had made a sad mistake; For iu heart, the girl was saj'ing, " Kate will lose what I slutll take." M Kits Kate!" this was what she told ine ; But its meaning was?Kins me Oh! vain heart! and oh I eyes sill}", Thus to fail the truth to sec ! So wc parted ; I with Borrow? She with scorn, perhaps with hate ; And my henrt grows sad by knowing What I lost liy kixsing Kate. * ~ BEWAEE OF DBUTING. Few people form habits of wrong-doing deliberately and willfully. They glide into theni by degrees and almost unconscionslv; and, before they are aware of danger, the habits are confirmed, and require resolute and persistent effort to effect a change. " Resist beginnings" was a maxim of the ancients, and should be preserved as a landmark in our day. The Baltimore Sun lias a good article on the slight beginnings^; danger which end in fatal ruin : V*It was only the other day that a man fell asleep in his boat on the Nicagara river. During his slumber the boat broke loose from its rooorinjr, and he woke to find him self shooting down the rapids, directly towards the cataract. In vain he skrieked for help; in vain lie tried to row against the current. He drifted on and on till his light craft upset, when lie was borne rapidly to the brink of the abyss, and, leaping up with a wild cry, went over and disappeared foiever. "In the great battle of Gibralter, when the united fleets of France and Spain attacked the impregnable fortress, one of the gigantic floating batteries broke from her anchorage atid began to drift directly into the hottest of the Hrittish fire. The thousand men who formed the crew of the unwieldly mass vainly strove to arrest its progress or divert it from its path. Every minute it drifted nearer to the English gums? every minute some new part took fire from the red-hot shot, every minute another score of its hapless defenders were swept like chafl" from its decks. The most superhuman efforts failed to prevent its drifting with its lmmnn freinrht tn inpvit*l?l? 44 A ship was wrecked at sea. The passengers ami crcw took refuge on a raft, the boats having been stove in tho attempt to launch them. For days and weeks these unfortunates drifted about without oar or ail on tho hot broken tropical ocean. At last their provision failed, and then their water. Still they drifted about, vainly looking for a sail or hoping for a sight of landThe timo had now come when that fearful alternative became inevitable?death from starvation or of feeding upon human flesh? and they were just beginning to cast lots for a victim, when a vessel was seen on the distant horizon. They abandoned their terrible design; the stranger would approach. The ship came towards them ; she drew nearer and near. Thev strove tn nitroct lier attention by shouts, and by raising their clothing, but the indolent iook-out saw them not. They shouted louder and louder, still they were not seen. At last the vessel tacked. With frantic terror they rose in one body, shouting and waving tbeir garments. It was in vain ; the unconscious ship stood steadily away. Night drew on, and as the darkness fell, they drifted and drifted in the other direction till the last trace of the vessel was lo9t forever. "So it is in life. Tbe intemperate man, who thiuks he at least wdl never die a drunkard, whatever his neighbor may do, only wakes to find himself drifting down the cataract, and all bope gone. The sensualist, who lives merely for his own gratification, drifts into an emasculated old age, 1/1 hft tnrt II r&l\ nilli nmainni l./v _ __ v?? f |/uooiv/II>J 110 I/Ollliub gratify, and perish l>y merciless, agonizing diseases. The undisciplined, who never learned to control themselves, who are spendthrifts, or passional, or indolent, or visionary, soou make shipwreck of themselves, and drift about the sea of life the prey of every wind and current, vainly . shrieking for hep, tilt at last they drift away iuto dnrkness and death. "Take care that you are ijot drifting.? 8m that you have fast hold of the helm.? The breakers of life forever rear under the lee, and adverse gales Continually blow on shore. Are you watching bow she heads} Do you keep a firm grip of the wheel! If yim give way but for one moment you may drift helplessly into the boiling ror? tex. Young roan, take care!

POLITICAL OFFICE-SEEKING. j But the idea to which we wish to draw enwu ulluiiliuu in mis article is not to ( professed politicians, but to that naraerous class of young men who depend on political . party for a living. In a large number of i cases their destination is one of throe :? , 1. Premature death. i 2. Brandy drinking. 3. A blank life. It is well-known that most governmental employers hold their position by reason of their political opinions, consequently every , change in their policy throws them out ,of employment. Those who are not dismissed by an incoming administration, are such as have rendered their services necessary to the government, by their self-sacrificing as- i siduity in the faithful discharge of their duties ; if this were all it might be borne, but, as it might be expected, a mere partisan office-holder neglects his duties, and the performance of them falls on those who are more launiui to uieir trust*, and in this double work-njambere perish prematurely disease engendered tbrough over-labor and over-colicitude. But nine out of ten of those who hold political places change with the administration, and being thrown out of office, have no other means of livelihood. With* perhaps a wife and a child or two to be provided for, it is not difficult to perceive the ? ? ?vigi,by niuuucuieiits bucu nave 10 labor for aDOtter turn of the political wheel, aud in performing that labor they fall into sucjjr practices and associations us make an escape from drunkenness an exception rather than a rule. But in the few cases where the love of { liquor is not a result, where there is too < much moral rectitude to go down to that degradation, the want of employment soo.it , brings want of subsistence; then come dcs^ pondenoy, idle habits, want of energy, "hod in its train want of ambition, and finally i loss of self-respect and a u blank life." 1 Irr view of these things we consider it a 1 great calamity for a young man to obtain any salaried political office; better a great 1 deal, because safer find immeasurable more lnd?Miut?nt h* 1 t - ><v"? apprMttteeahij> to mom* *ae&l handicraft \ Cor then, howerer bright may be the Cortunm of after life, there will be in reserve, in case ot re- , verses, a capital to draw upon, which ?W- * fortune cannot dale, which governmental ! changes cannot destroy.?ffafff Journal of ffealth. I; STRANGENESS OF DEATH. ' Angels liavo no death to undorgo; tliere is no such fear of unnatural violence between them and their final destiny. It is for man, and for aught that appears, it is for man alone, to watch, from tho other side of tho material panorama that surrounds him, tho great and amazing realities with which he has everlastingly to do?it is for him so locked in an imprisonment cf clay?and with no other loop-holes of com munication between himself and all that surrounds him, than the eye and the ear? it is for him to light up in his bosom a lively and realizing senso of tho things that eye hath never seen, and yoar hath never heard. It is for man, and perhaps for man alone, to travel in thought over the ruins of a mighty desolation, and beyond the wreck of that present world by which lie is encompassed, to conceive that future world on which lie is to expatiate forever. But a harder achievement, perhaps, than any?it is for a man, in tho exercise of faith, to observe that most appalling of all contemplations, the decay and dissolution of himself; to think of tlio fimn U'lmn liie tod frame-work, every pnrt of wliicli is so sensilive and dear to him, sliall fall to pieces, when tho vital warmth by which it is so thoroughly pervaded shall take its departure, and leave to coldness and abandonment, all that is visiblo of this moving, and acting, and thinking creature?when those limbs, with which he now steps so firmly; and that countenance out of which he looks so gracefully, and that tonguo with which he now speaks so eloquently ; when that whole body, for the interest and provision of which ho now labors so strenuously, as if indeed it were immortal?when all these shall be reduced to a mass of putrefaction, and a length crumble, with the coffin that encloses them, into dust! Why, my brethren, to a being in the full consciousness and possession of its living energies, there is something, if I may be allowed the expression, so foreign and unnatural in death, that we ought not to wonder if it scare away the mind from that ethereal region of existence to which it is hastening. Angels have no such transition of horror and mystery to undergo. There is uo screen of darkness interposed between them and the portion of their futurity, however distant; and it appears that it is for man only to drive a bridge across that barrier, which looks so impenetrable, or 60 to surmount the power of vision as to carry his aspirings over the summits of all that revelation has made known to him.?Dr. Chalmers. A VAVX1 TUT TTTT? n MOiUJCl AAl AAJCt OAi1i/? A few days since, we stood with a friend Dn the sea shore. The tide which had receded, left the sand perfectly smooth. Our friend with the end of his cane, wrote his name in full on the sand, and we passed on. But the first flow of the tide of course entirely effaced that name, and left the sand as if nothing had been written on !t. This led us mentally to inquire how many of the busy sons of earth, labor hard and toil long to write their names in the sand, only to be washed away by the fast flowing waters of oblivion. Thousands have faced the cannon's .mouth arid forced their way through ranks of bristling steel, to gain a name. But where now is the name thus written in blood t Entirely forgotton, with a very few exceptions. o-L-i ? ouuuiars 100 nave wasted tbeir energies over the midnight lamp, and found an early grave in search of a name. That name was gained; but it was only written in the jand. c - . How much we all, in our various pursuits, are struggling for a name; but we are merely walking by the sea-shore, and if our names are written to our satisfaction, they will not be found after the next tide. Who knows the names of the many millions who liavfc peopled our earth! Each thought as much of his name while living, as we do of ours. But the very di^st under our feet contains their own animated dust, and yet their very names were lopg since forgotten. Let us then, strive for something belter than an earthly game written iiKtbe moving sand. A name that can never perish, written in " the Lamb's Book of life," should be the high point of our aspirations. That is attainable, and yet how few are striving to have them there recorded. Tho present is regarded rather than the future by short sighted mortals.? Olive Branch. THE MEN 07 XH2 KAH2 KICKEDITIOlf.
