aD-AnAmerican traveller in the streets
of Paris seeing the words, "Wine baths
given here" exclaimed " Well, these
French are luxurious people !" Then,
with true Yankee curiosity, and the feel
ing that he could afford whatever any one
else did, walked in and demanded o swine
bath. Feeling wonderfully refreshed
after it, and having to pay but five francs,
he asked, in some establishment, how a
wine bath could be afforded so cheaply,
His sable attendant, who had been o slave
in Virginia, and enjoyed sly bit Of
humor, repied, ooh, massa, we just pass
it along into anudder room, where we glib
baths at four francs "Thensyou throw
it away, | suppose" ''No, massa, den
we send it lower down, and charge three
francs bath. Dar's plenty Of people
who amt so berry particular, who will
bathe in it after this, at two francs a head
Den, massa, we let's de common people
hab it at franc apiece" "Then, Of
course, you throw it away" exclaimed
the traveller, who thought this was going
even beyond Yankee profit "No, indeed,
massa, was the indignant reply, accom-
panied by profound bow; mo, indeed,
massa, we are not so 'stravagant as dat
comes to; we jest bottle it up den, and
sends it to Merica, for champagne p

Something About Kites.

"Kite-Aying" is not confined 70 boys
Full-grown people have their kites. In
fact, the social atmosphere is full OF them
all the year round. They are OF all
sizes, shapes, and, like the paper toys Of
the juvenile, are continually going up and
coming down Some Of them, it is true,
are so strong and steady of wing that
they pull their owners pleasantly and
safely along the stream of life, as Frank

the surface Of the ponds and rivers.

the philosopher in after years, are some.

DECISIVE INTEGRITY The man who is so
conscious of the rcctitudc of his intentions rs
to be willing to open his bosom to the inspcc-
ton of the world, is in possession of one Of the
strongest pillars Of u decided character. The
course of such man will be firm and steady
because he has nothing to fear from the world,
and is sure of the appreciation and support of
heaven. While he who is conscious Of u secret
or dark design, which, if known would blast
him. is pcrpetually shrinking and lodging from
public observation, and is afraid Of all around
him and much more Of all about him. The
clear uncloudcd brow, the open countenancc,
the brilliant eye which can look an honest face,
the BEAUTIFULLY beating heart, and the firm,
elastic step belong to him whose bosom is free
from guile, and who knows that all motives and
purposes are proper and right Why should
such man faltcr III his course? lie may BIC
slandcrcd he may be deserted by the world,
but he has that within which will keep him
erect, and enable him to move onward on his
course, with his eyes fixed on heaven.

A MOTHERS KISS.

A child whose infancy was joy,
A little boy of nobln micn,
Now tossing gaily many q toy,
Now rompng through the garden green
His parents bluc.cycd little pet,
lie trppcd one morn, aud down he fell;
Ills mother cried, Come, Willie, let
Nc kiss the spot aud make 1t we'll"
A mothers kiss hath power to cure
Her love is balm for every wound;
Her gentle SMILE her words so pure
Can heal the bruise and make us sound
And If there come u bruised heart,
And btterltears arise and swell,
A mothers love still soothcs the smart
A mothers kiss will make il well.
What matter If the world forget
To praise us for the good We do,
Or. II ii never pays the debt
Which to our truthfnlncss is due!
a MOTHERS sympathy Is ours
Wherever on the earth we dwell
Though gone forever childhood's hours,
The nothcr's kiss will make w well
Ny mothers hair is gray, and mine
Is slightly touched with silver strcaks;
an full grown man-but Time
Has deeply marked my mothcr's
Yet still her thrilling kiss is warm
Upon my brow imprinted well;
Through all my life Il hath charm.
NV mothers kiss to make me well.
From infancy until today,
In sickness, sorrow and mistrust,
Her gentle words drive cares away
And lift my spirit from the dust.
She tells me that the angels call,
That she must 20 with God to dwell;
My broken heart. If such bcfall
Nomothers's kiss will make rIEE well.
