Kiss or Fight.


An exchange tells story OF country party
thus:
A stalwart young rustic, who was known as
formidable operator in a Stree fight" had just
married blooming and beautiful country girl,
only sixteen years of age, and the twain were al
party where number of young folks OF both
sexes were enjoying themselves in the good Old
fashioned pawn playing STYLE Every girl IN
the room was called oul and kissed except Mrs.
B., the beautiful young bride aforesaid, ana al
though there was not a youngster present VINO
was not dying to taste her lips, they were re-
strained by the presence of her herculean nus
band, who stood regarding the party with look
of suen dissatisfaction. They mlstooK tne
cause of his anger, however, for, suddenly roll
ing up his sleeves, he stepped into the middle OF
the room. and, in a tone OF voice that at once
secured marked attention, said:
"Gentlemer, have been noticing how things
have been working here for some time, and
amt half satisfied. | don't want to raise fuss,
but" whats the matter, JohnF' inquired
half a dozen voices. "What do you mean r.
Have we done anything to hurt your feelings e
"Yes, you have; all of you have hurt my feel
ings, and I've got just this to say about 1t:
Here's every gal in the room been kissed mighty
nigh dozen times piece, and there's my wife
who consider as likely as any of 'em has not
had single one tonight; and just tell you
now, if she don't get as many kisses the balance
of the time as any gal in the room, the man that
Sights her has got me to fght-that's all. Now
go ahead with your plays!' If Mrs B was
Sighted during the balance of the evening we
did not know it. As for ourselves, we know
that John had no fault TO find with us individu-
ally, for any neglect on our part.
CALLING ON THE GovERNon.-Governor Chit
tenden, of Vermont, was a fine specimen of the
noble hearted, high-minded, and intelligent yeO-
manry of New England, and his residence was
a good old ld,fashoned farm. With all the gene
rosity and hospitality OF the master and mistress
of the mansion, there was not particle OF aris-
tocratc exclusiveness about them. The Cover
nor knew that man was man, provided his
character and conduct were good, and was no
subscriber to the doctrine that fine feathers
make fine birds" Homespun or velvet, he cared
not what the garb was, provided the wearer
carried his heart in the right place.
One day man who had some business with
the Governor arrived at his house on horseback.
Seeing roughly dressed man at work near the
door he pulled up and called ont: ~ say you,
sir, does Governor Chittenden live here2" The
man nodded. VERY WE'LL cid fellow" said the
rider, dislnountng, you hold my horse while |
60 into the house"
He found Mrs. Chttenden, and stated that he
had called to see the Governor on very impor-
tant business "Well,n replied the Governors
wife "he is about here somewhere; | saw him
moment since o." she added, looking out of
the window, there's the Governor holding your
horsel"

HUMAN LIFE.-It is common impression that
the average duration OF human life is lessening,
though moments thought of the improved hy-
giene of the present day. and the increased COM
fort of the masses, would lead to different con-
cusion. The facts support this favorable view.
Professor Buchanan, in a recent lecture in Gin
cinnati, gave the following figures. His data we
have not seen, but we can imagine none that
would furnish more than an approximation. In
the latter part of the 10th century one half OF all
who were born died Under years of age; the
average longevity of the whole population was
but lS years. In the 18th century one-half OF
the population died under l2 years. But in the
first 60 years of the 18th century one-half OF the
population lived over 27 years. In the latter 40
years one-half exceeded 80 years. at the be,
ginning of the present century one-half exceeded
40 years; and from 1888 to 1s45, one-half ex-
ceeded 43. The average longevity at these sue
cessve periods has been increased from IL years
in the 10th century up to 4S.7 by the last re-
ports.

How New YORK BAKERS MAKE BREAD.-The
editor Of the Journal of Commerce has been div
ing among the city bakers, and comes up with
this tale:
"Our bakeries are mostly under ground and
out of sight, and few who eat their bread ever
witness the process of baking and perhaps it is
well that it is So 1t has been said that he who
would relish his dinner, should keep clear of the
kitchen. The rooms where the dough is mixed,
are generally small and under ground; the men
sleep often, perhaps generally, in the same room
part of the night. They often smoke or cheU
tobacco or both, and zoe are credibly informed,
that the feet instead Of the hands are often en-
pLoyed in the process 0fpreparing the dough."i
And the New York Express follows with this
strong corroboration:
There is bakery not two hundred feet from
Nassau street, we may add, where the laborers
are daily seen coming into the street, with their
naked feet and legs all covered with dough- and
the dough oozing between their ten pedal ex-
tremites Ugh!-Ugh"
The Journal of Commerce further says:
"The expedients resorted to by many of our
bakers to compel the consumer to pay the high
est price for bread, are various They charge
the consumer, when the loaf is purchased at
their counters, 6 IA and II 1-2 cents for their
loaves Now barrel of -four will make z24 of
the former. and 112 of the latter, equal to $l4
for barrel of flour baked in bread; and when
the consumer buys of the grocer, instead of the
baker, in many, if not in most instances; max
ing loaf of less weight for the grocer, to whom
he sells the same for proportionately less price
The consumer therefore pays double profit
one to the grocer, and one to the baker, when
he buys of the former"

RErR1BUTIoN- -"Selling" Serenade.-The
Rochester Union deems the following worthy OF
record-perhaps for the ''moral" it suggests:
The contemplate practice of serenadng with
horns, tins, and other discordant instruments,
newly married people, is still too prevalent in
this country One took place in an adjoining
town last week, in which the h0rners got the
worst of it. A lady, who had been the house
keeper for some years of a respectable physician,
was married to gentleman residing some dis
tance away While she was making prepara-
tions for the wedding, it came to her ears that
a party of young fellows were making ready to
serenade the wedding party with tin pans and
horns. She applied to the doctor for advice and
q prescription. He gave her plentiful dose of
epicac, which she mixed in a cake designed for
the invited guests.
The wedding came, andwth il the tin-pan
serenaders. The marriage ceremony had scarce
" been performed before the ears OF the bride,
bridegroom and guests were saluted with most
hideous sounds from without. The doctor
thought it was best to invite the outsiders in
and treat them, to stop their noise. He accor-
dinghy appeared at the door and politely invited
the serenaders to come in. The invitation was
accepted, and the bride, with degree of mag
nanimity altogether unexpected, proffered the
wine and cake with her own hands. They all
partook and went quietly away, ashamed OF
what they had done-conquered by kindness
They had scarcely reached their respective
homes before they were seized with sickness at
the stomach. The doctor, who had put up the
prescription, had dozen calls at once, and all
his patients appeared to be affected in similar
manner AS he knew what the malady was,
he of course gave himself no uneasiness. A
thorough emetic no doubt had sautary effect,
and the patients felt better after ejecting the
bile which had caused their first uneasy symp
toms. The verdict of decent people in the
neighborhood where this took place was in IA
vor of the bride.

A DEAR LUxURY.-The Vanilla Bean, which

bureau at Washington has information that last
years importation Of, and consumption in the
United States, of this article amounted to 5000
pounds, at a cost of $40 per pound, or$l00,000,
paying the United States eaiduty OF 20 per cent,
or 10000. At the present time the Vanilla
Bean is selling at $50 to $40 per pound.

AN ARrFuL MIsER.-Some time ago, gentle
man called upon certain nobleman, very
wealthy and inordinately mean character, and
found him at the breakfast table,qute alone,and
doing his utmost to catch fly which was buzz
zpg about the room. What the deuce are you
about9" demanded the astonshed visitor, to
whom the spectacle of an old man amusing
himself by catching flies seemed very singular
to say the least. "Hush !" exclaimed the other
"Ill tell you presently" After many efforts, the
old fellow at last succeeded in entrapping the
hy. Taking the insect carefully between his
thumb and forefnger, he put it into the sugar
bowl, and quickly dropped the lid over his pris.
