CONCERNING KISSES" The kiss" says an
ancient woman hater, d" the aurora Of love but
the sunset Of chastity"
After tho first kiss there follows a second
then a third, and so upward on the many
rugged ladder Of love to the ultima thule. One
KISS Is very little and yet very much. 1t is
the woridless Interpreter of two hearts which
by this one breath tell each other more than by
myriads of words. The kiss il the high prizes,
who initiates the heart in the Elusinian mystic
ries of love.
The ancients counted three kinds of kisses
BaSia, that between friends and relatives.
OScNIa, the kiss of yeneration.
SNGvia, the kiss ssproper-that between lovers
The monks Of the middle sges-great theor-
ists-divided the kiss into fifteen distinct and
separate orders:
/. The decorous or modest kiss.
2. The diplomatic or kiss of policy
3. The spying kiss, to ascertain if q woman
had drunken wine.
4. The slave kiss.
5. The kiss Infamous Church penance.
g. The slipper kiss, practioed toward tyrants
Z. The judicial kiss.
s. The feudal kiss.
y. The religious kiss kissing the cross)
10: The academical kiss ION joining solemn
brotherhood.)
IL. The hand kiss
l2. The Judas kiss.
l3. The medical kiss-for the purpose ol
healing some sickness.
IA. The kiss Of etiquette
ID. The kiss of lOve-the only real kiss. But
this was also to be variOusly considered, viz
gwen by ardent enthusiasm, as by lovers; by
matrimonial affection or, lastly, between two
men-an awful kiss, fasting like sandwche:
without butter or meat.

OSh OF THE Most PECULIAR MEcuANr-
CAL DsvIcEs is the floating brick, an ancient
invention they are so light as to swim in water,
and were formerly made at Marseilles, at Co,
lento in Spain, and at Pittane in Asia. This
invention, however, was completely lost. until
M. Fabbroni published discovery of a metboi
to initiate the floating bricks of the ancients.
The material of which they are capable of being
made is what is known as fossil meal, kind Of
earth found in abundance in Tuscany, and
consisting, according to analysis, of ffty-fye
parts OF silicious earth, fifteen of magnesis,
fourteen OF water, twelve of alumina, three of
lime, and one of iron. Bricks COMPOSED of thi,
substance, either baked or unbaked. Goat in
water; and twentieth part of clay may be added
to their composition without. taking away their
property of swimming These bricks resist
water, unite perfectly with lime, are subject TO
no alteration from heat or cold, and the bak ed
differ from tho unbaked only in the sonorous
quality which they have acquired from the 6re.
Their strength is but little inferior to that of
common bricks, but much greater in proper.
ton to their weight; thus, a floating brick.
measuring seven inches in length, four and a
half in breadth, and one inch eight lines in
thickness, weighs only fourteen and one fourth
ounces, whereas a common brick weighs abou,
hve pounds and one-half.

JuvEsILE INaEsUIrY.-A farmer in Vir

away from home, leaving none but two small
sons on the premises. During his absence, a
favorite horse by accident got into the we'll,
which was about twelve feet Deep and of suff
cient diameter to allow the horse standing
room. The boys on discovering the unfortu.
nate animal, set their young brains to work to
get him out. Their bill of " ways and means
was almost exhausted when the youngest one,
only nine years old, suggested an amendment,
which was Immediately adopted They had
been threshing, and large quantities of straw
was convenient. The boys with a confident
glee pitched into the straw, and "toted' by
armsful sufficient to ill the well, the noble pri
soner tramping it down until he could walk
right out upon straw bail fully appreciating
the kindness of his youthful liberators, and nc
doubt thinking .all's well that ends well''

among her suitors Mr.. Leach, contractor.
Inc match was broken off and Mr. Leach mar.
ried another lady, who died some time since
mrs Smith, having ascertsined that Mr. Leach
had become widower, addressed letter to
him In which she stated that her husband had
recently died, and invited him to renew the
intimacy which formerly existed between them
After several letters had passed Mr.. Leach
agreed to meet the lady at Bristol on Sunday,
3lst OF January. They met at the Bristol sta
ton and took tickets for Yate, where they
alighted, and Mrs. Smith proposed to cross the
common to her residence, instead of taking the
high road. The station master advised against
this, on account of the darkness of the night ::
but finding her strenuous, took a lantern and
accompanied them to the point from which thoy
would have to cross the common. In short
time, the lady professed to have lost the way
and in few minutes after Mr.. Leach was as
saulted by n man. Being a strong man, he.
however, got the better Of his assailant, and his
cries for aid were heard by two of the railroad
men, who caueup
The assaiant was found to be the Rev. Mr..
smith, the husband of the lady; but he man
aged to make his esape. The detective force
proceeded to the house of Mr. Smith, and ar
rested the parties. On their track were found
widow S cap and six barrel revolver pistol
loaded and capped, near the spot where the
struggle took place. In searching the house,
parcel containing a shirt collar satin scarf and
pocket handkerchief, all marke ed with Mr. Leach's
name were found.-BoSfon TrareVer.
