LOOK BEFORE YOU KICK.

A minister of an orthodox church, on
his way to preach funeral sermon in
tue country, called to see one Of the
members, an old widow lady, who lived
near the road he was travelling. The
old lady had just been making sausages,
and she felt proud Of them-they were
Sc plump round and sweet. OF course
she insisted on her minister taking some
Of the links home to the family. He
objected on account of not having his
portlnanteau along. This objection was
soon oyerruled, and the old lady, after
wrapping them in a rag, carefully plac-
ed bundle in either pocket Of the
preachers capaeious great coat. Thus
equipped he started for the funeral.
While attending to the solemn cere-
monies of the grave, some hungry dogs
scented the sausages, and were not long
in tracking them to the pockets of the
good mans overcoat. Of course, this
was great annoyance, and he was sew
eral times under the necessity of kick
ing these whelps. The obsequies at the
grave being completed, the minister and
congregation repaired to the church,
where the funeral discourse was to be
preached.
After the Sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when a brother,
who desired to have an appointment
given out, ascerded the steps of the
pulpit, and gave the minister's coat a
hitch, to get his attention. The divine,
thinking it dog having designs Upon
bis pocket, raised his foot, gave a sud
den kick. and sent the good brother
spraw1ing down the steps! w
"You viii excuse me, brothers and
sisters,'' said the minister confusedly,
and without looking at the work he had
| Just done, "for I could not avoid 1T

ta-nation dog has been trying to grab

Your readers may Judge of the effect
such an announcement would have at a
funeral. Tears of sorrow were sud-
denly exchanged for smiles Of merri
nent.

How TO ENJOY A Klss-Somc chap,
who thinks he knows thing or two,
thus discourses about the delicate sub
ject of kissing:
"Of course you mist be taller than
the lady you intend to kiss. Take her

towards yon. Pass your left arm over
her right shoulder, liagonaliy down a.
cross 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 a
little forward and press your lips to
hers, and the thing is DONE Don't
make a noise over it. as if you were fir
ing percussion caps or trying the water
gau ges Of a steam engine, nor pouncc
down upon it like hungry hawk upon
an innocent dove, but gently fold tie
