KISSING.

h1SS1NT.
That neatest Of all neat things in the Draw
er, the story Of the Widow Lambkin, Of
whom Dr. Meadows took so much toll when
they crossed the bridge on sleigh-ride, re-
minds me Tsays down-east friend] of one
of our Maine young fellows, who thus des-
cribes his battle, and final victory, in fair
fight for kiss of his sweetheart
tAh, now, Sarah, dear give me kiss
just one-and be done with it.
4 won't ESQ, there now
Then I'll have to take it, whether or no.
Take it if you dare"
so att we went, rough and tumble. An
awful destruction of starch now commenced.
The bow Of my crayat was squat up in half
Of no time. At the next bout, smash went
shirt collar, aud at the same time some Of
the headfastenings gave way, and down came
Sally's hair ike food in o milldam broke
loose, carrying away half a dozen combs
One plunge of Sally's elbow, and my bloom
ing bosom -rufles wilted to the consistency
and form of an after dinner napkin. But
she had no time to boast. Soon her neck
tacking began to sever, parted at the throat,
away went string of white beads, scarper-
ing and running races every way you could
think of about the floor. She fought fair,
however, I must admit; and when she could
fight no longer, for the want Of breath, she
yielded handsomely; her arms fell down by
her side--those long, round, rosy arms-her
hair hung back over the chair, her eyes were
half shut, as if she were not able to hold
them open minute longer, and there lay a
little plump mouth all in the air! My
goodness! Did you ever see hawk pounce
on robin ?or bee Oh clover top? Even
sol settled aud when she came to, and
threw up those arms, and seized me around
the neck, and declared she'd choke me if
I ever did so again, and had a great mind to
doit now, I just ran the risk over again, and
the more she choked me the more / liked it;
and now she puts her arms around my neck,
aud puts her own lips in the way of mine
every day, and calls Inc her John, and don't
seem to make any fuss about it ALL That
was very sensible girl, and she makes a
good wife, too, as am not ashamed to say
any where
Quite different, but not less satisfactory,
was the first esculatory experience of DOM
inie Brown He had reached the mature
age of 6ve-and-forty without ever having
taken part in this pleasant labial exercise.
One of his deacons had very charming
daughter, and for year or two the Dominic
had found it very pleasant to call upon her
three or four times week. In fact, all the
neighbors said he was "courting" her, and
very likely he was, though he had not the
remotest suspicion Of it himself.
One Monday evening he was sitting, as
usual, by her, when sudden idea popped
into his head.
Miss Mary said he, 1--we known you
long time, and I never thought of such a
thing before but now would like you to
give me kiss. Will you?'
We'll, Mr.. Brown replied she, arching
her lips in tempting way, if you think it
would not be wrong, I have no objections ,
Let us ask blessing first said the good
man, closing his eyes and folding his hands.
'For what we are about to receive, the Lord
make US thankful
The chaste salute was then given and
warmly returned.
sOh, Mary, that 'cas good" cried the
Dominic, electrified bya new sensation. "Let
us have another, and then return thanks.
Mary did not refuse, and when the opera
tion had been repeated, the Dominic ejacu
lated in atransparent Of joy:
sFor the creature comforts which We have
now enjoyed, the Lord be praised, and may
they. be sanctifed to our temporal and eter-
nal good
History says that the fcrvent petition Of
the honest Dominic was duly answered; for
in less than month Mary became Mrs.
Brown.
