SIDNEY SMITH ON KTssING.-The Rev.
Sidney Smith once said, in writing Of kissing:
ave are in favor of a certain degree Of
shyness when kiss is proposed, but it
should not be too lang, and when the fair
one gives it, let it be administered with
warmth and energy. Let there be soul in
it. IF she closes her eyes, and signs deeply
Immediately after it, the effect is greater.
She should be careful not to slobber kiss,
but give it as hummlng bird runs his bill
into honeysuckle-deep but delicate.
There is much virtue in kiss when well
delivered. We have had the memory Of
one we received in our youth, which has
lasted us forty years, and we believe i, will
be one Of the last things we will think Of

For whom do Fashionable Women Dress1


The idea that ladies who lavish enormous
sums annually in personal decorations dress
10 fascinate their husbands, lovers, or man
in the aggregate is vulgar error. A
fashionable woman is not half as anxious 10
win the admiration Of the men as TO provoke
the envy of her own sex. The truth is
that gentleman, as q rule, know very little
about the commercial value Of female attire,
and (except when they are called upon TO
pay the bills) care less. An elegant and
becoming toilet, however inexpensive, gen.
enrally satisfies them. Not so our first
family bellies and dashing 1owagers. Cost
is their standard of excellence in custome.
And what oonsummate sumptuary critics
they are. No tradesman is better judge
of the articles in which he deals than the
ladr of fashion is OF all the articles her sis
tiers wear. With single side-long glance,
rapid, keen, and searching, she can "reckon
up the habiliments of a rival in the beau

reflection that all her splendors are sterling
and that her "set," sharp-eyed as herself
can distinguish between cheap fine ladyisn
and the ruinous grandeur ii is intended t'

In Wiltshire, England, the authorities

The laws regulating the payment of in
