KISSING.
BY o. b. JOYFUL.

IN dates back to very early day. 1t
is not certainly known whether it was
practiced by Adam and Eve or not. They
must have had jolly time in that beautiful
garden, with no vituals to cook, clothes to
make, stockings to darn, taters to dig, in
in fact--as far as we are informed-they
had little to do but eat fruits, recine in the
shade, and have good time generally. On
reflection, / am certain that our first
parents must have practiced this art, as
without it, Eden would have been dry
place, and Eve would have wanted di-
vorce. The earliest kissing remember to
have seen recorded is the kissing of his
brothers by Joseph, when he made himself
known to them as he went to Egypt to buy
corn. This kissing, under the circumstan-
ces, was quite commendable but gen.
orally speaking, it is much more interest
ing where one of the two pairs of lips re-
quired for the manufacture of genuine
doube-and-twisted articles, is of that kind
that never produces mustache. There
are several kinds of kisses; male kisses

much in demand, female kisses are just the
opposite, and are used mostly by school
girls when they meet, not having seen one
another for few days, and by older fe-
males after longer separations; their princi-
pie value is in showing to the gents who
witness them that the sweet creatures do
love to kiss SO much. It's only an aggra-
walton to me to sec the like, for l always
pick out the prettest girl of the two, and
wish the other one was me. Cousinly
kisses are--are-what shall / liken them
to? l got one once from a fair haired
Cousin-second one at that-after an alb
sence of some months, and it made me
feel like morning star" or something
else glorious I; / shall never forget it, don't
tell my wife though, or cousins husband
she has got one now, and he is sea
captain, and might hit me with a Delaying
pin. Kissing for fun is little the sweetest
fun of which have any knowledge-es-
pecially if she is pretty and not too willing.
Well do / remember how ] used to "pay
forfeits" by making side-hill- plows,' y
measuring ribbon" etc; in my young days.
How delightful soft the pretty girls cheeks
used to feel! how their waists used to just
fit SO nicely inside the circle of my arm! and
how they seemed to enjoy it, notwithstand-
ing they would make great show of fight
ing to keep poor fellow from getting his
just dues. Stealing kiss is one of the
most excusable thefts Imaginable.
Much allowance must be made for the
severity of the temptation, you know; then
it leaves her no poorer for the theft, and
she gets half the good of it besides. Then
there are whole troop of kisses of affec-
ton, such as motherly, fatherly, sisterly
brotherly, daughterly, etc. Kissing over
the gate is generally accounted delicious,
but for my part, prefer to take mine be-
fore she goes through the gate-don't OBJ
ject to few after she's inside if she isn't
satisfied, and if can't go in and take ON
on the sofa after her bonnet is off SO that
amt afraid of mussing things kissing
the baby is one of the most delightful pas
times, especially if it is good natured, pret
ty, clean, and-and-your own. But when
you come to the essence of all sweetness
boiled down, the warm, long-drawn kiss of
lovers when she has just said eyes" The
kiss the young husband bestows upon his
bride as he folds her to his bosom and cries
call mine" The kiss returned by the
bride as she nestles in the protecting arms
and says "my husban d." The kisses o.
the ripper love of maturer years as they
journey hand in hand through life, sur
rounded by the children of their love-
These are the ones that lift one little
nearer heaven than any other kind of de-
lightful beverage. ,....
