I'VE never believed Popes line,


till we once accidentally got kiss awarded
to us at game OF forfeits, some fifty years
ago Ehue! f0ydces The fair one in
question was the secret idol of our SOUL
Oh, those cerculean eyes! those flowing silk
en- tresscs! that exquisite waist, which
seemed the isthmus of earth and heaven
the Panama which divided the North Amer
lea of her Intellect from the Southern Cont
nent of her luxuriant charms--how we
longed to make our arms the only railroad
of that region, pouring the wild Atlantic Of
our passionate desires into the calm Pacific
OF enjoyment! But we must tear ourselves
away from our geography and return to our
mutton, or. rather, our lamb for our hearts
worship was only eighteen years of age
When we found ourself entitled to kiss by
the sacred game Of iorfeits, the keenness of
the rapture almost grew into toothache-
A kiss seemed more than we could manage
it grew into Titanic dimensions We had
vague notion of asking the company to
help US out by sharing our bliss, as the
schoo.-boy who, when he hears of his two
hundred pound cake being on the road,
promises all his comrades slice, but when
it arrives he keeps it all himself
"a kiss from Mary and all to our own
Cneek! vi Uuu tnGi tHe DiusIlIltW Shame Oh
first love, vulgarly called calf, came over
us, and we stood looking at our Mary lips
as a thief does at the gallows! Oil those
sunny eyes! Oh! those luxuriant tresses
as she shook them off her radient face, as
dove shakes of her feathers and dog his
hide, in order to leave more cheek to kiss
Oh! those provoking lips, pursed up ready,
like the peak of Tenerife, to catch the first
kiss of love, that rosy light from heaven!
Oh! that circling dimp!e, couched in her
cheek like laughing vile And oh ! that
moment when she said, well if Cousin
Pierce won't kiss me, Ill kiss him. She
stopped down-my sight grew dim--my
heart beat fast, as though i had swallowed
dose Of Prussic acid; her lips touched
mine, the world slid away, as it does when
We soar away in balloon; and we were
carried away into a calm delirium which
has never altogether left US"
Alcohol was invented $50 years ago, by
the son Of strange woman named Hagar,
in Arabia. Ladies used it with powder to
paint themselves, that they might appear
more beautiful During the reign Of Viii
liam and Mary an act was passed encourage
ing the manufacture Of spirits. Soon after,
incompetence and proaigacy prevailed to
such an extent that the retailers Of intoxica-
ting drinks put up signs in public places in
forming the people that they might get
drunk Cor shilling, and have some straw to
get sober on again
