How TO ENJOY KIss.-Some chap who
thinks he knows thing or two, thus dis.
courses about kissing:
"Of course you must be taller than the Ia.
dy you intend to kiss. Take her right hand
in yours and draw her gently towards you.
Pass your left arm over her right shoulder,
diagonally down across her back under her
left arm, and press her to your bosom. At
the same time she will throw her head back
and you have nothing to do but to lean n lit.
tie forward and press your lips to hers, and
the thing is done. Don't make noise over
it, as if you were firing percussion caps or
trying the water gnases of n steam engine,
nor pouncc down upon it like hungry hawk
upon an innocent dove, but gently fold the
damsel in your arms, without deranging the
economy Of her tippet or RIFLES, and by a
pressure upon her mouth revel in the sweet
blissiulness of your situation without smack.

The GARDINER FRAUD.-The Union States
that the President is determined to prosecute
every person connected with the Gardiner
fraud, and adds:
The guilty who may be within reach of the
law may rest assured that they will be drag

shield them, no past services rescue them, and
no corrupt influences can be invoked to shield
them from the fate they have merited. When
men cooly plot the dishonor of their country,
they, in advance part with all regard for her
favor and all claims upon her mercy. They
are, in their own minds, condemned, and the
Executive only inhicts the sentence which
they have pronounced upon themselves.
