Work AND PLAY.-Work and
enjoyment are compatible. Portions
Of every day should be given to re-
creation; the mind being refreshed
and the body relaxed by domestic
and social amusement. Then the
work would be enjoyed as much as
the play. It is physical pleasure
10 exercise the muscle after the rest.
And how buoyan:is the mind return

@It is remarkable that men,
when they differ in what they think
considerable, will be apt to differ in
almost everything else. Their diff.
ference begets contradiction; con-
tradiction begets heat; heat quickly
rises into resentment, rage and ILL
will. Thus they differ in affections
as they differ in judgement; and the
contention which began in pride,
ends in snger.-Cato.

K1ssINe.-The editress of the
Weekly Herald (Thomson, Geor-

ing and provoking and tantilizing
strain:
"Well, we reckon some folks
would really like to know what we
thought Of. Let's see. In the first
place, we thought what an absurd
idea, it is in man to ask a lady to
kiss him, just as if he, the senseless
being, thought the poor trembling
little creature was going to do it,
The idea of a man asking for a
thing so easily obstained! Why it
is ridiculous! and q man with a
particle of brains would boot at the
idea. She'd say no, till doomsday.
And you poor unbeliever, would
forego the happiness Of drawing nec-
tar from that rosebud mouth, simply
because you are lgnoramous enough
to ask for what you might have ia
ken. There are ten thousand ways
to kiss girl, without asking the
pleasure. Direct her attention to
something on the table; ask for a
book you know to be there, and
while she is there, 60 with the af-
fscted purpose ofhelpiug her to look
for it; be particular to get at her left
side-do you need any more telling?
If you do, you do not deserve
the kiss that might be so grace
fully taken. A man who would ask
a kiss Of a fair maiden ought to be
tarred and feathered, as a craven
hearted monster. Don't do it
don't for goodness sake ask the girls
to kiss you. Kiss them if you want
to, but do it like gentlemen. Kiss
them if you car.
