try where were several coy damsels, Who seemed TO
imagine that men terrible creatures, whom ii was
an objectionable sin to look at was one afternoon ac-
costed by an acquaintance and asked what he thought
OF the young ladies with whom he boarded
he replied that they were very shy and reserved

g That may be-" said the boarder, quickly "but I
will stake million that can kiss ali three without
any trouble

achievement which neither you nor any other man
accomplish

witness his triumph They entered the room togeth-
and the three girls all at home sitting beside
their mother, all looking prm and demure as John

effect but the old lady being longer able to con-
tain herself, cried
{" Nh c., pray, what do you speak of! 2"
g Nothing" answered he, in lugubrious tone,
but that last night spirit appeared unto me J"
Here the girls TO their feet and drew near
< And the spirit gave warning that | should die
exactly at twelve O'Clock to-day, and you see it
wants but half minute of the time -
The girls turned pale their hidden sympathics
were at awakened for the doomed and departing
one. They stood chained 10 the spot, looking alter
nately at the clock and at the unfortunate youth
he then walked up to the oldest of The three girls,
and taking her hand babe her solemn farewell
He also imprinted kiss upon her lips. which she
did not attempt TO resist He then bade the second
and third farewell in the same tender manner. His
beet was achieved, and that moment the clock
