There are few married men who are
not averse to seeing their wives kissed,
but an exchange relates the particulars
of a case in which a newly married Ben.

wife was nj kissed The bridegroom in
question was stalwart young rustic, who
was known as formidable operator in
a tree fight His bride was a beautiful
and blooming young country girl, only
sixteen years Of age, and the twain were
at party, where number Of young
folks were enjoying themselves in the
good old tashioped pawpplaying style.-
Every girl in the room was called ont
and kissed except b, the beautiful
young BRIDE aforesaid, and although there
was not a yonngSter present who was
not dying to taste her lips, they were re-
strained By the presence OF her herculean
husband, who stood regarding the party
with sul!en look Of dissatisfaction. -
They mistooE the cause, however, for

Counting the rain on the roof;
Hearing the roll Of the wheels aweary,
And the clank ofthc horses hoof,

Ana the hollow sound of registering rhyme
Striking in with the clang of the midnight

On the dead white chamber WALL
While pale and haggard and full OF woe,
And strangely lank and tall,

Watching the moves of my tremb ing hands;
Watching the drop of my weary eye,
With dim, grim smile at my every sigh.
