MISCEIIAN Y
salutations for Children.

\ STORY ESPECIALLY FOR HUSBANDS.
As was preparing TO leave the lFoase
the other day, my little two-years-old girl
came running to me, and turning up a rosy
and dinpled cheek. said, " "idiak goa had
better Kiss me, papa" OF course | kissed
not only the upturned cheek, but about
every square inch of her face upon which
a kiss could be planted. Passing into the
street, walked along, with her voice,
soft and musical as the notes of E bird,
lingering in my ears, and repeating over
| and over the words, II shiHk goa had
better kiss me. papa" This incident--so
unimportant in itself that perhaps ought
TO apologize to your readers for referring
to it-lsss served TO remind me of our OBJ
LEGATIONS to our children, and Of their claim
not only TO our love, but also TO its frequent
and appropriate manifestation. And they
begin very early in life to plead for the
recognition Of this claim. Grabbed old
bachelors, and few other men and women

Their lives in the town of Parson6ed, State
of Maine, an aged Freewill Baptist minister,
by the name of John Buzzel. Sixty years
ago he was one of the most popular and sue
cesful preachers of that country. When il
was announced that he would hold forth in any
place, the whole population, from all the cross
roads, the hill-tops and the valleys would flock
to hear him. he belongs to what may be
called the Old School of that denomination,
and in his early days was accustomed to wear
his hair long and parted, with black home
spun coat, as plain as the tailor could make it.
he preached iu the peculiar tones which were
used by bis brethren of those times, and al
ways exerted a wonderful influence upon the
minds OF his audience. We last heard him
thirty years ago, when his locks were white
and flowing, and his eyes were dim by reason
of old age He has always worked upon his
farm, kept the charge of his people in Parson-
field, and attended all the quarterly meetings
held in his district In politics he has ever
been an answering member of the Demo
cratic party; in religion one Of the most con
