at q store, being solicited 10 allow a kiss, dc.
clned except al the price Of a little bag which
lay on the enamored cavaliers counter, and
which, as he said, was filled with cents. The
bargain was struck but to the surprise Of the
dulcinea, and TO her satisfaction, on opening the
bag it was found to contain, in the place of cents
good full weight forms. The gentleman claim.
ed the bug, but the girl was unyielding. There
upon resort was had 10 the tribunal, the plaintiff
alleging that there was evidently mistake, and
that a simple kiss could not. by far, be appraised
at such sum. The tribunal, however, gave the
case 10 the girl--lst, because what is given is
given; and Cd, because the value Of kiss can
not be estimated.
