nc r"OISpIps, auu Do ndIuen ever yet un-
locked her heart, but kiss was the first
prisoner that few out En- PEASANT, that
was wonderful kiss which Fatima re-
ceived from her lover:
Last night when some one spoke his name,
From my swift blood that went and came,
A thousand little shafts of fame
We're shivered in my narrow frame.
Oh love on fire Once he drew
With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips-as sunlight drinketh dew.
Another variety is the kiss universal.
1t Is charming sslu.ation common among
, ladies, and occurs generally upon any en-
counter, whether In public or private, and
is excessively violent at times after an
absence of--three days from each other.
There is no particular form insisted upon
In this off-hand iuoculatiou: it is simply
FIRE aud fall back.
THE electrical kiss is performed by
| means of the electrical STOOL Let lady
challenge a gentleman not acquainted
| with the experiment to give ber salute.
| The lady thereupon mounts the glass stool,
taking hold of the chain connected with the
prime conductor. The machine then being
set In motion, the gentleman approaches
the lady ard attempts to imprint the
I eedi Vi dAtCkIOu upon ucI CoIdl llpSJ "ucH
spark will fly in his face, which effectu-
ally deters him from his rash intentions.
| The kiss sentimental IS too delicate to
have very much character. It is careful
where it settles as butterfly, and is rem
dered with sigh and upturned optics.
It occurs moet commonly By pale moon
light, in grottoes and shady retreats. A
hot sun or boiled dinner is perfect ex-
tinguisher on the kiss sentimental. 1t
would also oe inappropriate In thunder
shower or upon high road.
| Beautiful and sometimes sad are the
historic kisses scattered through our liter
ature, and that of other lands. The BIZ
Bile abounds with them. There was the
kiss of peace which David gives to Absa-
lom-that wayward favorite, who was for
ever paying back his fathers love apd
mercy with rebellion and violence; the
kiss with which jacob received his blind
old fathers blessing, and robbed the gen.
erous Esau for the second time of his
birthright; the kiss Mary Mag6alene
gives when she washes the loved feet with
her tears and wipes them with her hair.
Turning to secular history, there is the
precious kiss which Margarida gave her
troubadour lover, when "she stretched
out her arms and sweetly embraced him
in the love chamber" which coming to
her husbands (Raimond de Roussillon)
knowledge, he gave her the troubadour' S
heart to eat, disguised as savory morsel.
And there was Francesca's kiss, so sweet
and yet SO sad, so guilty and so pure,
when trembling Paolo kissed her and they
read no more that day. And there are
the kisses that Antony wasted a world SO
gladly for son brow of Egypt" or
rather, We suspect, on lips of Egypt; and
OthelIo's farewell kisses, which, tender
and heart broken as they were, had no
magic in them to redeem poor Desdemo-
mas life. Who does not remember that
grand kiss IF Coriolanus-
"Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge u
which exhibits such a world of character
and passion and sweet Romeo's dylng
kiss in the vault of the Capulets, and the
famous kiss of Bassanio ? Then there is
the kiss Marie Stuart gave Alain Char
tier, the memory of which is still fresh
after three centuries have passed away.
Do you remember it? He was a poet
and the ugliest man in France. The last
of his race died in Paris In November,
1868. The Queen with her maids found
him asleep one day, ana bent over him
and kissed his dreaming lips. 81 kiss
not the mar" she said, 81 kiss the soul
| that sings" Then there is the kiss which
the fresh check of young John Milton re-
ceived during his college days from the
lips of the high-born italian beauty, and
the kisses of Lawrence Sterne, concern
ing which he says, "For my own part [
would rather kiss the lips L love, than
dance with all the graces of Greece, after
bathing themselves Ia the springs of Par
nassus Flesh and blood for me, with an
angel in the inside"
| What kind of a kiss was it that sweet
| Amy Robsart's friend Leicester placed
upon the lips of Queen Bess, and which,
according to chronicle of the time, "she
took right heartilie ?" 1t was certainly a
bold proceeding "before folks" consider
ing who the parties we're. Tho kiss that
| Chastelard asked of Mary Beaton was a
notable one. Said the gallant French
man:
Kiss me with some slow, heavy kiss, that
plucks
| The heart out at the lips.
When the Cardinal John of Lorraine
was presented to the Duchess of Savoy,
she gave him her hand to kiss, greatly to
the indignation of the irate churchman.
Chow, madame" exclaimed he, cam I to
be treated in this manner! l kiss the
queen, my mistress, and shall not kiss
you, who are only a duchess Z" aud with
out more ado he, despite the resistance of
the proud little Portuguese princess, kiss
