So PER ANNUM.
What American Girls Say About
Kissing.

The varied emotion excited by young
ladies in leading cities along the line
from Boston to St. Louis, as kisses are
caught or stolen from their sweet lips,
are expressed in the following manner:
A Boston girl says, with an assump-
ton of indignation, Sir, declare
such liberty as that is beyond all
bounds of propriety and gentlemanly
manner; l." she is stopped by an.
other which is not resisted very badly.
The New York girl says: "Indeed,
Mr.. Brown, your conduct is little
familiar, if not ardent. I've half a
mind to ask what you take me for"
The reply of Brown is that he takes
her for something nice and swret, and
sweet, and sharp rapid smacking en-
snes. The Buffalo girl says with mark
ed positiveness of manners, but with
equal insincerity, Wretch, thief, put
that right back would not lose it for
the world" She not only don't lose it,
but gets as she wants, double principal
and interest. The Philadelphia girl
says: 80 you think that's dreadful
smart; you wouldn't have done it if i
had been looking, no indeed" but she
makes it point not to look. The
Baltimore girl says Repeat it if you
dare, SIR" and exposes her face that il
may be done easily and often. The
Washington girl remarks: you've
been gone and done it have you? now
cipher out how much better you feel
and calculate when you'll get another
chance" The Chicago girl says "Con.
found your impudence! Do you take
me for New Yorker? I'd have you
know there's q spice of danger in thai
little matter" The only danger she
apprehends is that you won't cut and
come again. The Cincinnati girl says
"Did you ever, no l never-you mer
are perfect monsters" Affects tears
and Indignation, but it is assuaged by
a duplicate of the old dose. The Lou
isville girl: you've done it sure anC
well. If there is any more of tn,
same sort please help yourself. Ifyol
can stand it | can." The Detroit cir
says: "Mien Jerusalem; what
naughty, funny man. Better you lool
out how you take one, two, four more
before mine mother comes" The 81
Louis girl says: ooh, 60 along wit
your nonsense; you ought to be ashan
ed of yourself" She exposes her face
and it is done again several times

Watch Story.


"NoteS and Queries" has the follow
ing legend of the Black Country
early in the present century, when
Bilston, England, was long, strag-
Cling village, with one main street,
which formed part of the mail-road
from London Chester and Holyhead,
the Bulls Head advertised for sale
Lady.day, 1870 was the principal inn
Of the place, and well-known hostel
rie on the old Irish route. 1t was nat
urally, and almost as matter of
course, the house at which the town
worthless we're wont to meet. drink
good, wholesome, home-brewed ale,
out Of the StafFordshire black glazed
pots, smoke their long Broseley pipes,
and talk over the politics of the day,
the tittle-tattle of the neighborhood.
One bright summers eve, while thus
pleasantly engaged in the modest smok-
ing room (coffee rooms had not yet
come into existence), a gentleman / ides
up to the door, followed by his servant
with the saddle bags. There is, of
course, great curiosity amongst the as
sembled guests to know who the stran-
ger may be; and from the communi.
cative valet they soon learn that he is
an Irish officer en- route to London.
They become Immediately desirous Ct
his company among themselves, both
for society and news sake; but the
gentleman unsocially keeps his own
room up stairs. So that at last, driv-
en- to desperation, and perchance some
what pot-valiant, one of the company,
Mr. Edward 'WoolleyS of Stonefelds,
a screw marker (i.~e., of iron srews for
woody, sends up the servant with his
chronometer to ask the Irishman if he
can tell what time it is by an English
watch. Great anxiety ensues as to the
result. Presently the servant returns
with his masters compliments, and he
will be down directly with the watch
and an answer. A great shufiing of
feet is heard overhead; and by and by
appears Milesus, followed by his body
guard, bearing tray with the watch
and a brace Of pistols On it. He
announces that he is come to challenge
the owner of the watch, and hopes he
will have the "decency" to claim 1t,
and take up one of the pistols. (To
the servant, "Take the watch round,
John!")-"Is it yours, sir" The old
doctor, Moss, was the first thus address.
ed; and amongst others present were
Messrs. Price and Bushberry. "No
sir p was the invariable answer from
each put to this crucial test. At length
it comes to the owner, sis the watch
yours, sirf"-No, sir l"-"Well, then,
John, since no one will own the watch
put it in your pocket; and as we dc
not appear to have fallen among sin
tlemen,' bring out the horses, and wei
ride OH another stage" The tale, oi
course, soon got abroad. and at the
end of his career, poor Woolly, or
rather Cooley" as he was more gen
orally called, was accosted with
"What's o'clock, Mr.. 'Oooley?" Only

Mr.. Lincoln was very fond of a
game of chess, and frequently spent
the evening with Judge Treat, near
neighbor in that pastime. Upon one
occasion. when little Tad was along,
the quiet of the game and the loneli-
ness of the room became too trying
to his restless nature, and he interrupt
ed the game repeatedly with "Let's go
home, father" "Sit down, Tad, sit
down." said Mr.. Lincoln. The child
kept quiet a few minutes, but soon
broke the silence again. presently,
my son, pesently," said the father.
Tad waited as long as he could COM
mand his temper; thea, starting up in
a fit of impatience, he tilted the board,
throwing the pieces on the floor and
bringing the game to an abrupt ter
mination. Mr.. Lincoln made stride
or two with his long legs overlook the
little culprit just before he reached
the door, gave him partial turnover,
and raised his broad palm. "Tad," "

whom they style the African Fire
King. He gave an exhibition Of his
"powers" recently in a physicians of
fee in the presence of about twenty
persons, and one of them describes tho
results thus: He first heated a shovel
red hot, and applied it to the bottom
of one of his feet. I made no impres.
sion on him whatever. He next heat
q shovel red hot and licked it repeat

any "unbelievers" present. To his as.
tonishment we announced ourselves
still "unbelievers." He then put n
shovel in the stove, and partially filed
it with shot; when the shot had got
pretty hot he stirred them with his
naked fingers till the lead had melted.
He then took the shovel in his right
hand and poured the hot melted lead
in his left hand, and then poured stho
burning solution into his mouth, kept
it there till it cooled and spit it out

Tale of the Tiger.


The wickedness of Saratoga and
Long Branch has been so thoroughly
explained and commented upon that
it is refreshing to learn of the exist
ence of compensating influences which
sometimes counteract The gilded entice-
ments of those places. The story is of
a husband and wife at Long Branch,
the former given to nightly visits to
the lair of Chamberlain's tiger, and
the latter affectionately .solictous of
his welfare in the encounter with that
royal beast. Wisely refraining from
curtain lectures, the wife undertook a
more audacious and effective means of
reform. Attiring herself in her hus-
bands best broadcloth and tightest
pair of dress boots this woman who
dared" followed her dssipated lord to
his evening haunt, and when he was
awaiting the turn of the cards af-
ter coppering the ace, blew a cloud Of
of smoke across the table into his face
to attract his attention and calmly put
ten dollars on the king. The story
concludes with the rapid and terrified
exit of the husband, followed by his
successful wife, and the extraction of a
promise, on the way home, of future
abstinence from the green table. II
this tale is to he credited, we no longer
wonder at the determination of Mr..
Morrissey to vigorously exclude ladies
from his temple of play, for a few such
wives would break the bank before the
season is over.
