A DELIGHTFUL MoTHER.-A mother,who
was in the habit OF asking her children,
before they retired at night, what they
had done to make others happy. found
her young twin daughters silent. One
spoke modestly Of deeds and dispositions
founded on the golden rule. do unto
others as ye would they should do unto
yon." Sill these litle bright face were
bowed in silence. The question was again
repeated.
II can remember nothing good all this
day, dear mother ;only one ofmy school
mates was happy because she had gained
the head Of Ne class, and | smiled on
her and ran to kiss her; so she said |
was good. This is all, dear moth.

TnrCHING nELICACY.

There were many little occurrences
which suggested 10 me, with a great con.
ISOLATION. how natural il is to gentle hearts
to be considerate and delicatetoward any
infer;ority. One Of these particularly
touched me. Happened 10 stroll into the
little church when marriage was just
concluded, and the young couple had to
sign the register.
The bridegroom, TO whom the pen was
banded first, made rude cross for his
mark; the bride, who came next, did the
same.
Now, | had known the girl when was
last there, not only as the preitiest girl in
the place, but as having distinguished her
self in the school; and could not help
looking at her with some surprise. She
came aside and whispered to me, while
tears Of honest love and admiration stood
in her bright eyes:
"lle's dear good fellow. Miss but can

LUxUnIoUs KISSING DrscRIHED.

Almost any writer can describe emotion
Of JOY, anger, fear, doubt, or hope; but
there ere very few who can give anything
like an adequate description of the ex-
quisile. heavenly. and thrilling Joy Of
warm affectonate kissing. We copy
below three Of the bes, attempts that we
have ever seen. The first is by young
lady during her first year of courtsbip:
"Let Thy arm twine
Around me like a zone Of love,
And thy fond lips, SO soft,
Tomine be passionately pressed,
AS it has been so Oft"
The next is by lady shortly after her
engagement. Il will readily be seen thai
her powers Of description are far in ad.
vance OF the ones quoted above:
.r Sweetest love,
Place thy dear arm beneath my dropping head,
And Jet me lowly nestle on thy heart
Then turn those sOle-lit OTbs on me, and press
My parting lips to taste the ecstasy
Impaired by each Isng and lingering kiss"
But the best thing we have seen is the
following, by Alexander Smith. We think,
however, that when man so freely in
du'ges in osculatory nectar as 10 imagine
he is walking on thrones" he should be
ehoked off. Hear him:
"My soul leaps up beneath thy timid kiss.
What then to me were groans,
Or pain, Or death Earth was round Of bliss,
seemed TO uqlk on thrones"

BABIES ON THE lsTHMUs.-A gentleman

there was quite number Of ladies' in the

many ofthem were bountilully supplied

from one TO eight years. On these oc'

the said responsibilities, instead of being
attached to the apron strings oftheir anx,

and carried on the backs Of the natives
with the trunks and other baggage, and
fell considerably in the rear. When
night came on, and the party halted al Q
hotel on the road, the babes in the wood
were among the list of missing There
was great waiing and weeping among the
bereaved, and probably some gnashing o.
teeth by the "children," who were des'
porately hungry. A party was dispatch

encamped in the woods with Young a.

that was going on, and no doubt supPo
