GREAT GOODNESS BETWEEN MEN AND Wo-
MEN.-A ball was given by the United States
officers on the prairie at Lecompton, Kansas,
on New Years Eve. The ladies al wore Mac.
iknaw shawls aud overshoes, and at the end of
every cotillion, would run to the fire and warm
their noses. The supper was served in a tent,
aud all hands turned in about midnight. In
the morning, holes were cut i'll the ice in the
Kaw river, that the ladies might wash their
faces. How do the thinly dressed bellies who
foot it in our gas-lighted ever-warmed ball

HAD EN- AT LAsr-A young man from the
"rural districts" went to the Post Office the
other day with bank note, for a dollars worth
of postage stamps. He was told that paper
money was not received. He went away, and
shortly returned with our Spanish quarters-
&" We don't receive them now," said the at.
tendant, " for more than twenty cents apiece"
The countryman thought Uncle Sam mighty
particular, SO he went away again and obtained
dollar in coppers. "Now," said he on re-
turning to the Office and laying down his pile
at the window of the delivery, 81 guess | can
suit ye." The man inside looked at the dis
play of "specie currency" and cody said,
" We never take more than three cents in cop
pers at any one time; it is not legal tender
above that sum-"
The countryman looked at the composed
official for the space Of a minute and a halt
without stirring; and then he belched out,
Look here you; amt you almighty kind OF
particular, for felers locked up in such Jail
as this 'ere! You don't take only three cents
in coppers at time, hey! Well, then s'pose
you give me three cents worth of stamps, any
how" The official very politely cut him off a
single stamp, and passed it out, for which the
cOuntryman laid down three cents. lie was
about to pass away, when the latter cried out,
Look here, you Hold on That 'ere's one
time. Now s'pose you gin me three cents
worth more On'em."
Uncle Sans clerk was not slow in discover
ing that he had caught a tartar. He turned
back to the window. How many coppers
have you got!" he asked. avail, only about
ninety-seven of 'em had hundred on 'em

KISS OR FIGHT.-An exchange tells a story
OF a country party thus:
stalwart young rustic, who was known as
formidable operator in a " free fight" had
Just married a blooming and beautiful country
gIrl, only sixteen years of age, and the twain
were at II party where a number of young folks
OF both sexes were enjoying themselves in the
good old tashlnlOned pawn-pa ying style. Every
glrl@n the room was called out and kissed ex-
cept Mrs. B., the beautiful young bride afore-
said, and although there was not a youngster
present who was not dying to taste her lips,
they were restrained by the presence of her
herculean husband, who stood regarding the
party with look of sullen dissatisfaction
They mlStoOk the cause of his anger, however,
for, suddenly rolling up his sleeves, he stepped
INTO the middle of the room and in tone of
vo &C that at once secured marked attention,
said:
Gentlemen, have been noticing how things
have been working here for some time, and
aln,t half satisfied. don't want 10 raise fuss.
but" "Whats the matter, John % inquired
halt dozen voices. "What do you mean -
Have we done anything to hurt your feelings ~
Yes, you have all of you have hurt my feel.
lngs, ana | have got just this to say about it !:
Here's every gal in the room been kissed NIGH
ty nigh dozen times apiece, 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 fight
that's all. Now go on with your plays!'
If Mrs. d. was sighted during the balance
Of the evening we did not know it. AS for our.
selves, we know that John had no fault to find
with us individually, for any neglect on our
! part.

fire of intelligence, and u countenance bright,
rejecting the sunshine of virtue,-all are doni-
nant characteristics of The SMILING GIRL.-
She is the flower of earth and, in the arbor of

side, adds vivacity and grandeur to the social
circle, renders buoyant the dropping spirit, en-
courages the desponding, and, like ministering
angel, journeys gayly onward, gliding the dis
mol walks Of life and making smooth the rugged
places that lie on the way. And, just blossom
ing into womanhood, how fraught with interest
are her past and her present. Amid all the
besettments If a polluted world, she has grown
up, casting throughout her career rhe sweet
incense of joy and gladness, whilst, in her book

Has long been loosed, aud yet live on
The doom'd to drink of lfe's dark wave,
Whose golden bowl has long been gone 4!
Ay. weep for those, the wearied. worn,
Dragg'd downward by some earthly tie,
By some vain hope, some vainer love,
Who losthe TO live, yet fear to die."
