Squire You are older than I, and I sup
nose you will think al this kind of thing
is clear sheer nonsense; but depend upon it,
a kiss is a great mystery. There is many
q thing we know we can't explain, still we
are sure tits a fact for all that. Why should
there be sort Of magic in shaking hands,
which seems only a mere form, and some
times painful one, too; for spme folks
wiring your fingers off almost, and make
YOU fairly dance with pain, they hurt you
so. 1t does not give you much pleasure at
any time What the magic OF it'we cant
tell. but so it is for all that. 1t seems only
a custom. ike bowing, and nothing else;
still there is more, in it than meets the eye
But kiss fairly electr;fes you; 10 WARNS
the blood and sets your heart to beating like
a bass drum and make your eyes twinkle
ike stars on frosty night. 1t amt thlng
to be forgot. No language can express II,
no letters will give the sound. Then what
in nature Is equal to the flavor or IT,
What an aroma it has! 1t amt gross, Tor
Won can't feed on it. II don't cloy, foF the
palate amt required to test its taste. 1t is
peither visible, nor tangible, nor portable,
nor transferable. 1t is not a substance, nor
aliauid. a nor a vapor. 1t has neither color
nor form Imagination can't conceive IT.
II can't be initiated nor forged. 1t IS con
fined to no cline or country, but is ublqul-
tous. =,
Itis disembodied when cempleted5 but
instantly reproduced and so 1t is Immortal.
It is as old as the creation, and yet.-;ls as
Young and fresh as ever. 1t Pre-exlsts'
still exists and always will exist, 1t per
vades all nature. The breeze as it passes
kisses the rose. and the pendent vine stool'S
down and hides with its tendrils its bushes,
ss il kisses the limpid stream that waits in
an eddy to meet it, and raises its tiny waves
like anxious lips 10 receive it. Depend
npon il. Eve learned it in Paradise, and
was Taught its beauties, virtues and vane-
= ties by. an angel, there is something SO trans
cendent. How it is adapted to all circum-
afaneesl There is kiss of welcome and
of partipg, the long lingering, loving pres
ept one the stolen or the mutual one 10 g
kiss Of love, Of Joy, and Of sorrow the seal
of promise, and the. receipt OF tulhliment'
Is it strange, therefore. that woman Is IN
vincible whose -armory consists OF Kisses
smiles and tears? Is it abyAwonder that
{ poor old Adam was first tempted, and then
ruined? 1t is very easy for preachers to
get up with long faces and teIlus that he
ought to have been more of a man.. Nj y
opinion is if he had been less of man II
would have been better for him. But

1t is our business to cultivate in ou
minds. to rear to the utmost vlgor ana ma
turity every sort Of generous feeling tina
belongs to our nature. To bring the dlspo
sitions that are lovely in private lie lnt
the service and conduct ofthe com mon :
wealth; and, as patriots not to forget we ar
gentlemen. To cultivate friendships an'
not to incur enmities. TO be fully per
Suaded that all virtue which is impractlca
bic is spurious; and rather run the risk 9
FALLING into faults in course which lead
us to act with effect and energy than
lOiter out our days without blame an
without use. He trespasses against nus gu

that goes over to his enemy.-Buyke.
