KIssING.-A correspondent Of the Will
mington (Deleware,r Herald says the fol-
lowing rules have been adopted by the
middle-aged married gentlemen when they
assume the privilege of kissing their young
and pretty cousins. They certainly, says
the Richmond Wing, seem to have formed
a very accurate conception of the proper
manner in which, this innocent luxury
should be enjoyed:
"Of course you must be taller than the
lady you intend to kiss take her right
hand in yours, and draw her gently to you,
pass your left arm over her right shoulder,
diagonally down her back, under her left
arm, press her to your bosom, at the same
time she will throw her head back, and
you have nothing to do but lean little
forward and press your lips to hers, and
the thing is done don't make noise ov-
er it, as ifyou were firing off percussion
caps, or trying the watcr-cocks Of a steam
engine, nor pounce down upon it like a
hungry hawk upon an innocent dove, but
gently fold the damsel in your arms, with
out deranging the economy of her tippet
or rufile, and by sweet pressure upon
her mouth, revel in the blissfulness Of
your situation, without smacking your lips
on it as you would over roast duck.
