A ROYAL KISS AND A ROYAL KICK -
Some of our readers, says a writer, who
are not so young as they have been, may
remember the famous Yankee kiss and kick
of the last King Of England, William the
Fourth, before he came to bis estate
While in New York the Prince called at a
barber's shop to be shaved When the o.
peTation was completed, he stepped up to
the BARRIERS wife, who CHANGED to be pre-
sent, aud giving her kiss remarked -
There, now you can say you have been
kissed by amember Of the royal family. -
The barber, greatly iDconsod by what be
chose to receive as an insult, seized the
the prince, and helping him out Of the shop
with his foot, exclaimed There, now you
can say that you have received royal kick
from an American freeman.

Make straight paths for your fcet"- and TO n
oppressed
"cons ye 70 me, and will give you rest.n
Yet hang some lamp-like hope
Above this unknown way
Kind Year, to give our spirits ifeer scope,
And our hands strength TO work while it Is day
But if that way must slope
Tombward, o, bring before our fading eyes
The lamp Of life, the Hope that never dies
Comfort our souls with love-
Love Of all human Kind
Love special, closo-in which, liko sheltered dove,
Each weary heart IT. own safe nest mey find
And love that turns above
Adoringly contented TO resign
All loves, IL need be for the Love Divine.
Friend, come thou like a friend
And whether bright thy fhce,
Or dim with clouds cannot comprchand,--
Well hold our patient hands, each Ia his place,
knowing thou leadest onward to those spheres
Where there are neither days, nor months, nc
