mmmmm BAGGAGE TRAIN. Sparking Sunday' Night. Respectfully Inscribed to Those Who are Guilty. Sitting in the corner, On Sunday eve, With a taper finger Resting on your sleeve ; Starlight eyes are casting On your face their light; Bless me ! this is pleasant Sparking Sunday night ! How your heart is thumping 'Gainst your Sunday vest How wickedly 'lis working, On tliis day of rest; Hours seem but minutes, As they take their flight; Bless me ! ain't it pleasantSparking Sunday night? Dad and Mam are sleeping On their peaceful bed, Dreaming of the things The folks in meeting said : "Love ye one another 1" Ministers recite ; Bless me ! don't we do it Sparking Sunday night? One arm with gentle pressure Lingers round her waist, You squeeze her dimpled hand, Her pouting lips you taste ; She freely slps your face, But more in love than spite ; Oh 1 thunder 1 ain't it pleasant, Sparking Sunday night? ' , But hark ! the clock is strikingIt is two o'clock, I snum ! As sure as I'm a sinner, The time to go has come; You ask with spiteful accents, If "that old clock is right ? " And wonder if it ever Sparked on Sunday night 1 One, two, three, sweet kisses, , Four, five, six, you hook But, thinking that jou rob her, Give back those you took ; Then, as forth you hurry, From the fair one's sight, Don't you wish each day was Only Sunday night? A LESSON TO EOYALTIES. According to a Germen proverb, "When a "mishap occurs it may turn to good." So is it with the visit to London of the unguillotined Louis Bonaparte. This fercial spectacle enforces after all a grave historical lesson. Royalty, aristocracy, and all the like leprous tails of the past, which for nearly a century have deservedly been draggtd in the mire on the Continent of Europe, have maintained themselves in England as in an inaccessible retreat. England seemed proud of her mediaeval stagnation so admired by Continental Royalities. With haughty satisfaction she pointed to the dust of ages on her royal purple, and her Sovereigns never deigned to associate with par vt nuts. All at once these shams have disappeared under the touch ot a most contemptible newcomer. England lies prostrate before him. For whole days she uplifted on her royal escutcheon the bloody mUcriant whose offences, known to the world as murder, perjury and robbery, according to the English common law, would inevitably have been expiated by punishment on the gallows. In this she has shown the intrinsic value of royally. What true man can henceforward be pleased or honored by shaking hands with the residents of Buckingham or St. James Palace ? No more it behooves her clergy to preach to the masses on the moral purity and elevation of the Anointed; these now 6ee that infamy coalesces readily with a monarch. It is well that it. is so; well that royalty loses the spurious aureola which still dazzkd the bight of the masses and prevented them from penetrating its character. The people, on their second sober thought, will discover the contamination of the French Usurper. Victoria dusting the rooms for the reception of Eugenie, with whom a Guelph or a Coburg would hardly have united by a lefthanded morganatic-marriage, well illustrates the flimsiness of these shams, the pride of legitimacy, and the stainlessness of royal honor. We do not dwell on the brilliant display of snobism shown by the Londoners, beginning with princes and dukes and going down to the vilest ragamuffins, from Belgravia to the Tower-hamlets as well as by other cities sending dutiful addresses to the Bonaparte. This was somehow a matter of course. The great fact is that this blood-stained cartouche has brought the isriUsh monarchy to his level. He has polluted it and dragged it in this mud. Frenchmen may forgive him something accordingly. Pressing his heel on the neck ot England, making her blush for the day of Waterloo, and pileously screening its glories and recollections, he has avenged his uncle. He has humiliated England more than by gaining battles over her. His quiet Landing and taking possession of London amid a storm of snobbish applause is a deeper wound than would have been inflicted half a century ago by the successful Boulogne Expedition contemplated by the original Napoleon. Whatever may be the commentaries and sophisms put forward by the English journals to give a certain elevated tone to this visit and reception, it is not the result of a generous impulse or the sincere recognition of popular sovereignty personified in this small Napoleon by the choice of a whole people. The English did all this through the sentiment of fear through a consciousness of prostration. Englend knows well that the utter destruction of the life of a free people the Liberty of the Press together with intimidation, corruption and bayonets gave the millions of votes to the usurper. Englishmen, on this occasion proud to be called gentlemen, well know that Louis Bonaparte is not of their order. But her governing classes at least, if not her people, feel that she is at the mercy of this daring and unprincipled schemer; and that they must conciliate his favor. To a man of genius no such ovation would have been proffered, Shakspeare was a vagrant by act of Parliament; Dr. Johnson wanted a dinner; and the highest honor ever tendered by royalty to an Ark wrigbtor Stevenson was a greasy knighthood

which the letter spurned. But to this redmouthed, red-handed villain she gives her dearest decoration the garter. In this tierce irony read a stupendous lesson to the present as well as to the future. Not only in his own person does Bonaparte debase royalty, but in that of others. The proudest from among the brotherhood bend before him in the hitherto uncontaminated halls of Windsor Castle. Scorners of genius, they worship a jail-bird 1 JT. Y. Tribune. "What is Respectable Society. We heard a man, dtherwise intelligent enough, lately sneer at another, "because," said he, "one never meets him in respectable society." The speaker did not mean, however, that the person he affected to look down upon was immoral, but merely that his circle of intimates was not composed of the fashionable or the rich. This notion of what constitutes respectable society, is quite a favorite one with that class of individuals whom Thackery has so significantly called "snobs." Empty pretence is always ma-

kig its own characteristics a standard, by which it strives to measure the respectability of persons at large. In a community of mere money-get ters, wealth is the test of respectability. Among the proud, narrow-minded effete nobility of the Fauburg St. Germain," respectability depends on being descended from ancestors, who have mar ried cousins for so many centuries that neither muscle nor brains are left any longer to the degenerate de'scendants. With the dandy officers, who constitute a considerable portion of the American Navy, respectability consists in having sponged on "Uncle Sam," in wearing gilt buttons, and in bilking tailors. Every conceited fool thinks himself, in this way, the only man really weighty, the only person who is respectable. But true respectability depends on no such adventitous circumstances. To be respectable is to be worthy of respect; and he most deserves respect who has most virtue. The humblest man, who bravely does his duty, is more worthy of respect, is more truly respectable, than the covetous millionaire among his money-bags, or the arrogant monarch on his throne. The fine lady, who backbites her neighbor, is less worthy of respect than an honest washerwoman. The profligate noble, though he may wear a dozen orders in his buttonhole, is often not realy as respectable, as the shoeblack that cleans his boots. That which is called "the world" exalts the one and despises the other, but it does not make them respectable, according to the real meaning of the word, their respectability is all a hollow sham, as they themselves frequently feel; and those who worship them bow down to a Fetish, a thing of feathers and tinsel. The selfish, idle drone, who wastes life in his own gratification, and dissipates the fortune of his progeny, is not, and cannot be, respectable; but the hard-workingself-denying father who wears out his life to bring up his children is, even though he be but a day-laborer. Nothing can make Dives fit to lie on Abraham's bosom, while Lzarus is welcomed there, even with the sores the dogs have licked. This false view of life, which would measure respectability by a conventional standard, is totally at variance with our republican instiutions. It creates an "imperiuminimperio;" for while the law declares all citizens equal, it erects a social standard which endeavors to ignore that great truth. The coarse, brutal, knavish, profligate, criminal in short all who fall short of their duty to themselves and their fellow men are those who are "not respectable;" and this whether they are rich or poor. Will those who live honestly and strive to do what good they can, constitute what is really the respectable class irrespective of the fact whether they eat with silver forks or steel ones. Dollar Newspaper. SailOT Actors. A very laughable scene took place in one of the London theatres soon after the great battle of Waterloo. A dramatic representation of that world-renowned engagement was in the course of representation: a great number of sailors had been hired by the manager to represent the English and French forces, but they utterly refused to be Frenchmen; they wouldn't put on the enemy's jackets at any price; so that the manager had to procure landsmen to represent Napoleon's army. In one part of the play the English forces were to run from the French, but instead of this, they stood their ground, and actually pitched all the French army into the orchestra among the fiddlers ! The "recusants" were brought up before a magistrate, when one of them made this amusing defense: "You see. Bill Sykes, and I, and Joe Brown, and six more, was the British army, and opposite us was some six or eight land-lubbers, a-hacting the Mounsters. The skipper of the showfolks told us when we'd squibbed off our muskets over the Mounseer's heads, to turn and run away from the French. In course, this here was hard work for Jack tars as had sarved their country for twenty year, to be told to run away from half a dozen land-lubbers pretending to be French. "Well, it warn't no use o' kickin' up a row then (this was at rehersal!), but at night Bill Sykes and I argufied the matter over a pot of 'af-and- af, and we concluded not to disgrace our flag, but to stand up for the honor of Old England ! "Well, when the scrimmage began, the land lubbers called out, 'Retreat! retreat! Why don't you retreat?' " 'See you shot first 1 says I. "They come at us, and Bill Sykes, in slewing round to guard his starn, slipped on a piece of orange-peel, missed stays, and come down plump on his beam-ends. One of the imitation Parleywoos made a grab to captivate Bill, when, in course, I covered my friend, and accommodated the sham Mounseer with a h'ist as didn't agree with him. He was one o' them mutton-fed chaps as can't stand much, for he landed among the fiddlers, and squealed blue murder! "Well, arter a row begins, you never know nothin' till it's over. Bill Sykes and I cleared out the French army in Jess than no time, and then we tipped the player-folks a broadside, and took their powder-magazine prisoner. The cabin passengers (the pit) and Bill and I got surrounded; but if I'd had a bagnet at the end of my musket, I'd ha' cleared the decks like winkin' 1" Whitewash. Poor whitewash is a serious injury to a wall or ceilinar, and when once on it is difficult to git off or properly cover it and produce a clear white appearance. This is the season for cleaning up, and we will give the receipt for a first-rate wash. - Quick lime, slacked by boiling water, stirring it until so slacked. Then dissolve n wales white vitriol, (sulphate of zinc,) which you get at the druggists, at the rate of two pounds of zinc to a half barrel of whitewash, making it of the consistency of rich milk.

KISSING. A writer in the N. 0. Picayune says: No luxury that the market affords seems liable to more sudden changes, and more unaccountable rises and depressions, than kissing. Cotton can't begin to be a circumstance to it. Sugar and molasses can't bear any competition with it. We are altogether at a loss to account for this state of affairs. Whether it is owing to the climate, to the season, to the men or to the women, we know not, and should like to know. A very pretty little girl informed us last night, that in her opinion, it was shameful to make men, especially good-looking men like we are, pay so much for a kiss. We concurred, and immediately. came down to record the estimated value of one smack in Rochester, New York. It will be remembered that last summer, a very learned adjudication was made in our city upon this subject, and that since that period a legal estima'e has been made in Boston. The tariff of kisses is now, in Boston, ten dollars; in Rochester, New York, seven dollars: in New Orleans, five dollars! Thank Heaven! we live in New Orleans, and from the depths of our pocket-book pity those bachelors of Boston and Rochester. The editress of the Ladies' Repository, a very sensible and lovable woman, we have no doubt, from the following paragraph, also on kissing, says: "Kisses, like faces of philosophers, vary. Some are as hot as coal fire, some sweet as honey, some mild as milk, some tasteless as longdrawn soda. Stolen kisses are said to have more nutmeg and cream than other sorts. As to proposed kisses, they are not liked at all. A stolen kiss is the most agreeable. We have been kissed a few times, and as we are not very old, we hope to receive many more." After an almost unprecedented dearth of matrimonial news, (the quantity fluctuating, perhaps, with the variations in the stringency of the money market,) this department of the newspaper business is looking up. The change indicates a general improvement in mercantile affairs. The Boston Transcript my s that not less than one thousand marriage certificates have been issued in that city since the first of January last. Hard

times suppose to be the cause. , How little do lovely women know what awful beings they are, in the eyes of an inexperienced y.outh ! Young men brought up in the fashionable circles of our cities will smile at this. Accustomed to mingle incessantly in female society, and to have the romance of the heart deadened by a thousand frivolous flirtations, women are nothing but women in their eyes; but to a susceptible youth like myself, they are perfect divinities. Washington Irving. Love is as necessary to a woman's heart as a fashionable bonnet to her head. Indeed, we think, rather more so; for nothing less than a large measure of love will content her, whereas the recent fashion has shown that she can be satisfied with a very little bonnet. v It is undoubtedly a scandalous observation, but a modern philosopher has remarked and we give the aphorism for what it is worth, that "Love is so essential to the very life of woman, that in celibacy she is unhappy without a lover, and after marriage, if she is so unfortunate as not to love her own husband, she is pretty certain to love somebody else's 1" Discouraging Childhood. It is somewhere related that a poor soldier, having had his skull fractured, was told by the doctor that his brains were visible. "Do write to father," he replied, "and tell him of it, for he always said I had no brains." How many fathers and mothers tell their children such; and how often does such a remark contribute not a little to prevent any development of the brain ! A grown-up person tells a child he is brainless, foolish, or that he is deficient in some mental or moral faculty, and nine cases out of ten the statement is believed, or if not fully believed, the tho't that it may partially be so, acts like an incubus to repress the confidence and energies of that child. Let any person look back to childhood's days, and he can doubtless recall many words and expressions which exerted such a discouraging or encouraging influence over him as to tell upon his whole future course of life. We knew an ambitious boy, who, at the age of ten years, had become so depressed with fault-finding and reproof, not duly mingled with encouraging words, that at an early age he longed for death to take him out of the world, in which he conceived he had no abilities to rise. But while all thus appeared so dark around him, and he had so often been told of his faults and deficiencies that he seemed to himself the dullest and worst of boys and while none of his good qualities or capabilities had been mentioned, and he believed he had none, a single word of praise and appreciation, carelessly dropped in his hearing, changed his whole course of thought. We have often heard him say that "that word saved him." The moment he tho't he could do well, he resolved that he would and he has done well. Parents, these are important considerations. Sometimes encourage your chidren without an if. Do not always tell them they can be good or can do well, if they do thus or so well, and that there is nothing to hinder them. ij"We must never complain hereafter of any thing the London Times says of America, for it can say nothing worse than it says of England. We quote a specimen from an editorial of the 25lh: "Every incident that comes to our knowledge tends to increase the feeling of dismay with which reflecting men of all shades of political opinion are disposed to regard the present conjuncture of our affiairs. There is no longer the slightest hope that we can by any means short of the most extreme degradation avoid the continuance of a war, the expenses of which we pay but the operations of which our counselors seem unable to plan and our generals to execute. Our government is a caricature of the weakest and most selfish combinations of other times. Our Premier has disappointed the expectations of his friends, and faithfully realized the predictions of his enemies. Our secretary of War is a martyr to gout, and our Secretary for the Colonies is returning from the capital of a doubtful ally to add to the administration the weight acquired in a futile negotiation, and, perhaps, to act again the same part as that which proved so fatal to the government of Lord Aberdeen. In the meanwhile, legislation is a blank, and discussion on topics of public interest is suspended partly by the Crimean Committee, partly by unwillingness to add to the difficulties of an administration which began to decay before it was completed, but must still be tolerated till arrangements can be come to for providing it with a suitable successor." Strength. So powerful is the whale that he can move through the water at the rate of nearly 100 miles per hour. 5Many people drop a tear at the sight of distress, who would do better to drop a dime.
