kissrsG.-A correspondent of the Wilmington
Herald says that the following rules have been
adopted by midde-aged married gentlemen when
they assume the privilege of kissing their young
and pretty cousins. They certainly (says the
Richmond JVhig) seem to have formed very ac-
curate 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 over her
right shoulder, diagonally down across 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 to lean little forward and
press your lips to hers, and the thing is done
don't make noise it, if you were firing off
percussion caps, or trying the water-cocks of a
steam engine, nor pounce down upon it like hun
CRY hawk upon an innocent dove, but gently fold
the damsel in your arms, without deranging the
economy of her tirpet or ruffle, and, by sweet
pressure upon her mouth, revel in the blissfulncss
OF your situation, without smacking your lips on it
as ysu would over roast duck"
