rur CLERICAL KIss.-DOminic Brown had
reached the mature age Of five and forty, with
out ever having taken part IN this pleasant Ia
bal exercise. One Of his deacons had very
charming daughter, aud for year or two the
Dominic found 1t very pleasant to call upon her
three or four times q week. In fact, oil the
ncghbors said he was ''courting" her, and very
likely he was, though he had not the remotest
suspicion Of II himself. One Monday evening
ho was sitting as usual by her side, when sud.
den idea popped into his head. '-'fL. =
"Niiss Mary" said he, "rve known you
long time, and never thought OF such thing
before but now would like you to give me
kiss Will your H.s- ar1.
swell, Mr.. Brown" replied she: arching her
lin. in a tempting way, "if you think 1t woald
not be wrong, have no objection" !,
.Let us ask blessing first" said the good
man, closing his eyes and folding his hands;
"For what we are about TO receive, tho Lord
make us thankful"
The chaste salute was then given and warmly
returned. l
"Oh, Mary, that was good cried the Dom-
inic, electrified by new sensation. Let us
have another, and then return thanks"
Mary did not refuse and when the operation
had been repeated, tho Dominic calculated IN .
transport OF joy,-"For tho creature comforts
which we have now enjoyed the Lord DO praised, |,
aud may they bo sanctiacd to our temporal and
eternal good" ~
History says that the fervent petition OF the
honest Dominic was duly answered, for In less
than month Mary became Mrs. Brown.

Railway Incident.

While recently passing, says writer In
Household Words" from Exeter to London,
on the Great Western Railway, found the car
riage had selected for the trip occupied by o
very interesting young lady and two rather
talkative gentlemen. or course, we became
rapidly sooiable. From gcneralities We came
down to personalities, and amused each other
with variety OF incidents connected with our
own experiences In railway travelling, many Of
lar enough. None. however. were more 30 than
the following. naiyely related by the young
lady:
"Although I am compelled to travel without
companion, yet / have such dislike to the
company of babies and sick folks, that never
make journey in the ladies carriage. Only
once, however, have suffered any inconven.
ience through my unprotected condition, and
that exception occurred lately, and on this very
line. After had taken my seat one morning
at Paddington, In On empty carriage, was
Joined, just as the train was moving of, BY q
strange looking young man, with remarkably
furried, but he seemed besides so disturbed and
wild that was quite alarmed for fear OF his not
being In his right mind, nor did his subsequent
conduct reassure me- Our train was an ex.
press and no inquired eagerly at once. which
was the frst station whsrcat We were advertised
to stop. consulted my Bradshaw, and fur
ni,hed him with the required information. II
was Reading. The young man looked at his
watch. -,
"Madam, said he, I have but half an hour
between me and, 1t may be ruin. Excuse my
abrubtness. You have, I perceive, a pair OF
scissors in your bag. Oblige me " you please,
by cutting off all my hair. ~ .''
"Impossible, said II Is impossible.
madame, he urged, and look OF severe de-
termination crossed his face, am desperate
man. Beware how you refuse what ask. Cut
my hair OF short-immediately; and here Is a
newspaper to hold the ambrosial curls.
II thought he was mad. Of course; and be;
lieving II would be dangerous to thwart him,
cut off all his hair to the last lock. "
"Now madam, said he, unlocking o small
portmanteau, you will further oblige me by
looking out Of the window, as am about to
