From the Waverley Mainline. What is a Kiss? "What :s a kiss! I fsin would know. I an any mortal tome ahew To what it doth pertainl la it an abject bright and fsir A viewless form of empty sir Or phantasy o( the brain! I it th sweets the lover ftps From off the dewy nectared lips
Of her In ca'ls his own! And which by him is prixed ta- nv re Tnsn all the wealth uf Ciumiis' store. Or gems from every taste. 'Tis sure something more than this. (Twnlfj bis insy be earth's highest b!is, And sweetest . ssres ol joy.) It does dissrm hate's direst rage The sorrows of the heart assuage,
The noblest act our lives employ. It is a token of friendship true, Sweeter than violets kissed with dew, When treely. fully given. It hath a power the heart to thrill To shield iru.n sin and guard fro ill, Like s tairy baud from II em en. It ia a seal of fondest love, Dropped by the angela from above, Where all is joy end pesce; A link that binds tond heart to heart, With golden bands that ne'er shsll part
Till Time itself sin II cease.
F ir the Jasper Courier. Tis Sad to Leave. 'Tis snd to leave our childhood's home, And part with those so dear; 'Tu sad to leave the acenes we love A nd drop the parting tear. 'Tis sad to leave our boyhood's home, And friend-, both kind and true, 'Tis sad to say a isst farewell, And weep a last adieu. 'Til sad to leave that one dear spot Where memory still will. cling, 'Tis sad to think that distant lands Xo sweeter joys can bring. 'Tis sed to leave the old hearth-stone, In other lands to roam, 'Tis aad to leave the household band, And seek another home. Tis sad to know that drangen mora Around our couch of paiu; And then 'tis sad to think on Mends We ne'er shall meet again. Jatftft, S Ipt, l.VJ. B. E.
Training of Editors. Ws copied from as exchange a short line since a paragraph headed a "College for Editori," which hss been going the rounds of the papers. Mr. Carpenter, the editor of the Madison Patriot, is a practlcla printer and of course knows what he says when he c.sims that "the education of an editor is not complete who Ins net graduated in a printing office, which has very properly been called the "Poor man's College who bas not been regularly drilled through the vari oui grades of rolier-boy. compositor, press
man, and foreman, and who had not auffii lent mind to educate himself during his intervals
of labor in sll that is necessary of book learning. We have never yet known a practical, useful editor who has not passed thn 115h this schooling. Of the present gen
erationEdwin Croawell, Thurlow Weed, Jas. Wataon Webb, Colonel Stone, and
Horace Greeley, were all educated to the business in country printing offices. Weed, Webb, snd Stone were fellow apprentices in the office of Prentice, in Cooperstown, then a email country village. How infinite ly auperior In practical knowledge and eon-
