You are unlaithful to your soul if you
enfeeble its servant, the body; you are
more unfaithful to it still if you enslave
it to its servant.
WHAT is that which comes into cxis-
tence about FIVE or six feet above the
ground, and is a sign of treachery and
amity? A kiss
A NUMBER Of young women in Mas
sachusotts manufacturing establishment
recently kept silent, on a wager, for
sixty long minutes.
ODp life : that Of tho carpenter, his
board is plain, his Saacs end in dust, he
chisSels in his work, double dcals, au9erS

THE local editor Of Paducah Kentack-
ian drew sewing machine in the Pas
chall House lottery, and is now advertis-
ing for a good-looking young woman to
come and run it for him.
AN old woman driving a four-footed
troup into city, was accosted by
young man with, 'Good morning, moth
er of donkcys." The dame meekly re-
piled, "Good morning to you, my son."
An Irishman who had just landed,
said-"The first bit of meat | ever ate
in this country was roasted potato
boiled yesterday. And yc don't believe
me, can show it to yc, for have it in
my pocket"
ARDENT Youth-Would were that
umbrella that might shelter you from
the rude storm, and feel the pressure of
that soft hand.
LADY, wish to goodness you were
this umbrella, because then l could
make you shut up.
I PRESSED her gentle form to me, and
whispered in her ear: if, when am far
away, she'd drop for me tear7 |
paused for some cheering words, my
throbbing heart to cool, and with her
rosy lips she said, ooh! VII, you're
such FOOL"
A GENTLEMAN rcmarks-Nlen scorn
to kiss among themselves, and scarce
would kiss brother, but women want
to kiss SO badly they kiss and kiss each
other.
A lady replies-NIen do not kiss
among themselves, it's well that they re-
frain; The bitter dose would vex them
SO they ne'er would kiss again.
ANNOYING AN AUDIENCE.-We know
Of nothing more provoking than for an
audience of two or three hundred per-
sons to be annoyed by the pointless CAB
BILE of mush-headed boy and ditto
headed girl. If lovers can't go to a
lecture and keep from soldering over
each other and talking while one man is
speaking, and large crowd listening,
they had better stay at home. We
havn't any patience with such ounces.
If you would take such a couple and tap
their brains with six inch augcr, you
wouldn't get common sense enough to
set now born baby up in business.
A FEW evenings since, with joyous
spirits and gorgeously arrayed, 1 sal
lied forth with charming Clara, for a
dashing promenade. All, what strains
of magic power swell the chord of youth
full pride, as one trcads the walks of
fashion with beauty by his side
Clara, with grace bewitching, seemed
to trip on fairy feet, and each passcr
turned to view US, sailing gladly up the
street; thrilled this heart, for my fond
affections queen, beating time with
quickest measure to her erinoline. Sud-
denly my charmer fa!terod, as if shock
ed by some great ill, while the anguish
of her features seemed my very soul to
fill; lightly on my arm she languishcd,
and | cried in anxious fcar--speak, my
darling. Clara-tell me what's the matter
