Now said Hattie. Iookin fright

when he comes, Mrs. Mary
oh. don't you tell him. said
Mrs. Mary. pretending TO be scared,
you won't, will your
Mrs. Mary was only in fun you
know.
'No.if you don't want me to- said
Hattie.
So when Mr.. James came he tried
to make little Hattie tell who broke
the chimney; but she was true 10
her promise, and would not tell him,
though he offered her candy and
nuts and money. and promised not
to scold any one. Of course he
knew all about il. but he wanted to
see If Hattie would be true. And
Hattie was true as steel. Now ]
do love little children that always
speak the truth and do as they
promise 10 do; then ] know just what
to depend on.

Mrs. Hanson was making nice
cake the other day, and she told
Henrietta to 60 to the store and gel

ready with her cake. and the fire
just right, no Henriss's came. She
waited a long time till she feared i,

K1ss1Na.-Who gave the first kiss
Was it Adam? Was it Eve? At any
rate kissing was one of the pleasures Of
Paradise, according to Lord Byron, who
says:
"Oue remnant of Paradise still is on earth,
And Eden revves in the first kiss of love
And Byron knew a good deal about
kissing, whatever he may have known of
Paradise. The different varieties of kiss
ing are too numerous for convenient classi-
fication. The principal sorts, however,
are the kiss of respect (on the handy, the
kiss of love (on the cheeks or lips, accord
ing to the measure of the passion and the
relation of the parties.) What sort of
kiss was it that Leicester placed upon the
lips of Queen Bess. and which, according
to chronicle of the time, "she took right
heartily put was certainly bold pro
ceeding "before folks" considering who
the parties were However, the Virgin
Queen" might still be cirgO eicciSSima in
spite of kiss. The topic suggests a
funny question. Was Hannah More
ever kissed 2-that is to say, by man, "a
horrid man, as prudish ladies call every
thing that wears coat and trousers. 1t is
impossible to conceive of such a thing |!
Imagination revolts at the idea But
only to think of her being kissed ION the
sly" and in churchtime Impossible
And yet Horace Smith says that on a
certain occasion
''sduey Mo gan was playing the organ,
While behind the vestry door
Horace TWiss WAS snatchlnE kiss
From the lips If Hannah More !"

Along the smooth aud slender wires,
The sleepless heralis run,
Fast as the clear and living rays
Go streaming from the sun
No peas or flashes heard or seeu
Their wondrous hight betruy,
Aud yet their words are strongly felt
In cities fur away.
Nor summers heat nor winters hail
Can check their rapid course -
Theymeet unmOv'd the fierce winds rage
= The rough waves sweeping iorce:- .
In the long night of rain aud wrath,
As in the blaze OF day,
They rush with news Of veal OF woe,
To thousands far away.
But, faster still than tidings come
On that electric cord,
Rise the pure thoughts Of HIM who loves
The Christians life and Lord,-
OF him who, taught in smiles and tears
With fervent lips 10 pray,
Maintains high converse here below,
With bright worlds far nway.
Ay though nor outward wishes breath'd,
Nor outward answer given,
The signing OF that humble heart
Is known and Telt in Heaven -
Those long frai wires may bend aud break,
Those yiewless heralds stray,
But Faiths least word shall reach the throne
Of God, though far away.

The Girls and the Wives.
Somebody has written the following about the
girls, and set it ndoat on the sea of newspaper
dom:
God bless the girls,
Whose golden cutls
~. Blend with our evening dreams;
They haunt our lives
Like spirit wives,
Ur--as naiads haunt the streams
They soothe onr pains,
They fill our brains
With dreams Of summer hours;
God bless the girls,
God bless their curls,
God bless our human Il hlwers
The wives, we think, are quite as deserving of
a blessing as the grls-thcrefore the following
is respectfully submitted:
God bless the wives,
They I'LL our hives
With little bees and honey;
They ease life's shocks,
They mend our socks,
But--dont they spend the money
When we arc sick
They heal us quick
That lie, if they love US:
ii not we die,
Aud ye. they cry,
And place tombstOues above u.s.
Ofrogush girls,
With sunny curls.
We may in fancy dream
But wiyes- true wiyes-
Throughout our lives,
Are everything they seem.
