The Influence of Kisses

The kiss has been powerful agent
in the annals of the human race.
There have been kisses like those oi
Antony and Cleopatra, of Henry
VIII and Anne Boleyn, which have
shaken an empire or destroyed a re,
igion. If we knew the secret history
of courts, we should probably learn
that nations have been created OF
erased by the magic touches of wo-
mans lips. A great problem, there
fore, lies before us. Has this discov-
cry proved an af1iction or blessing
to mankind? Probably the latter;
for it has certainly increased the in
fuence of women, and the influence
of women is employed more for good
than for ILL Beloved, tender hearted
women, companions and CONSIDERS OF
our life! With. kiss. you welcome
the infant to the world; with kiss
you bestow on soft-cheeked youths
the raptures of first love; with kiss
you alleviate the agony of death.
And what, alas! are the kisses which
men too often give you in return?
Judas kisses, treacherous and fatal,
which poison innocent hearts and
turn to curses on painted and de-
spairing lips. Happy are they who
can remember without remorse the
kisses of their youth.

TELL THE TRUTH.-There is no NOR
al difference between ''white" and
''black" lies. We think a great lie
great sin, and great shame to man;
but, after all, little lies are much more
dangerous, because there are so many
of them, and because each one of
therl is diamond-pointed. And these
little, petty untruths, which are so
small that we do not notice them, and
so numerous that we cannot estimate
them, are the ones that take off the
very enamel of the moral sense-cut
away its entire surface

The love of truth, which has ever
been our distinguishing characteris-
tic, compels us to say that there is a
female variety of that railroad ami
NAL whose name is spelt with three
letters. She enters car in the Bos-
ton depot, seats herself in the middle
of the seat, rserves the seat in front
of her, and places upon it bundle,
consisting of pair of gloves and q
th-brush, as a warning that the
seat is reserved. Then she glares at
everybody who attempts to sit beside
her, or use the seat in front of her,
until the sensible but ungallant con-
ductor compels the removal of the
huge bundle, to make room for some
of the tired people who are stand
ing in the aisle Then he sinks in
her estimation, and she pouts during
the rest of her journey, angry because
she cannot monopolize three seats
which she has not paid for.

Tie Noble Clergy.

If there is in our midst one class
more conspicuous than another for
untiring devotion to the sick and dy-
ing, It is the Memphis clergy
There is no duty from which they
shrink. At the dead hour of night,
as at MONDAY, these ministers OF
God are found wherever sickness or
death calls for their services. Kneel-
ing at the bedside in prayer, minis
tering to the sick as nurses, or serV-
ing as messengers for medical aid,
they labor without ceasing. They
do not wait until their presence is in
voked. Braving the pestilential air
of the infected district, they go from
dwelling to dwelling, from hovel to
hovel, seeking those who may need
their services. Four have fallen
martyrs to their holy duty-fallen
while relieving poor frail bodies from
pain, and pointing out to the dying
the straight, narrow path that leads
to heaven. But the others press
forward to fill the places vacated by
the Angel of death-to close the
ranks widened by those who, until a
few days ago, stood beside them,
shoulder to shoulder, like brave
comrades advancing to charge in
battle Memphis Avalanche.

There is little more to add. The
main proof having been obtained,
other proofs on the prisoners trial
were brought forth, showing him
guilty beyond doubt.
Long before his execution his
name was ascertained to be Louis
Rosseneau, a noted adventurer and
gambler, who, however, by cool ef-
frontery and a winning address, back
ed by his good looks, had been en-
abled to move among the first cir
cles of Partisan society.

The Miseries of BOyhOOd.

Does the boy hope, some cold win
ter morning, to economize time by a
hasty toilet, and turn himself over
for wee bit of a nap after the ris-
ing bell, there comes a voice up the
stairway: 30 Johnnie! John-n i-e!
with lingering persuasiveness. "Get
right up. Your father says he
wants you to have all the paths SHOW
eled before breakfast"
If little Jennie is up and ready
for breakfast, that is all that is expect
ed. She has nothing more important
to do than breathing on the frosty
panes to get a view of Johnny at
work. Does the boy get up early to
get his skates sharpened-"Don't t
make that noise in herel" Does he
try on those idols of his heart to see
that every strap and buckle is in or
der-"Haven't I told you times with,
out number not to put your skates
on in the housel By next spring
there won't be rag of carpet left"
How does little Jennie manage to
keep her skates in good condition?
Why, she appeals to the head of the
household: "Pa, can't Johnnie bore
hole in this strap for me?" "John,
fix your sisters skate" and they're
fixed. If Johnnie tries to play in
the house, he is told to put away that
top or those marbles, asked If he
can't keep quiet minute, and ad-
vised to sit down and take a book.
On the contrary just as soon as he
hurries home, snatches up "Robin-
son Crusoe" or "Swiss Family Rob
inson," and becomes oblivious for a
time of his unhappy lot, he is aroused
anew to it by the parental voice,
"Come, Johnny, put up that book,
and go find the COW. She hasn't
come home" Jennie, who is busy
putting her refractory doll to bed,
wonders how Johnnie knows which
way to turn to look for the missing
animal Perhaps he catches grand
daddy long legs, and repeats that
familiar rhyme which compels him to
point out the road Johnnie must take.
Johnnie being interrogated as to that
subject on his return, sings his cap
defnantly into the corner, in the
groundswel of his discomfort, snatch
es up "Robinson Crusoe" again,
mutters something under his breath
about "girls" and 'tgeese," and is
again absorbed in his book. "Come
now, Johnnie" says the mother,
''don't go to reading again. It's
eight o'clock" Five minutes elapses.
Johnnie, did you hear. me? Jennie's
gone up stairs" Five minutes more
on the desert isle, and a childish
voice is heard at the stairs landing,
"Ma, can't Johnnie come to bed? I'm
afraid" "Now, Johnnie, I shant
speak to you again" A brief-a very
brief respite. "Oh! only to finish
this chapter?" ''Mal Nal" louder and
angrier, "Im coming down if Johnnie
don't come? Mayn't he Gomez" Enter
the paternal. "John, what are you
up for at this hour? Shut up that
book and go to bedl Why, Pussie,
why aern't you in bed?" 81 want to
kiss you goodnight" pleads the
sweet little fibber ''Bah! she's
afraid of the dark; that's the matter"
defantly retorts Johnnie, going up
stairs two steps at a time. 81 amt
neither. Can't he stop plaguing me?"
"Come, John let your sister alone.
That's all the sympathy boy gets!
