Different Aspect OF the Case.

states that later developments in regard to the
killing of Hoyt by John Gilman, at Fryeburg,
puts different aspect on matters. Hoyt was an
inofensive old man, 60 years old, whose only
crime was his love for liquor. He never made the
least attempt to ravish the little gil, and when
discovered together by the mother, she was eating
candy and listening to Hoyt play upon an accor-
deon. His violent death was the result of Gil
mans brutal and unreasonable temper. Steps are
being taken to effect Gman's arrest.

THE KISSING BUSlEESS.

On the subject of kissiI g, the Chicago
Inter-O Ocean gives some interesting testi-
mony from history, and the power OF
lovely women over the destinies of man.
kind. 1t says: There have been some
famo1s kisses in history, and some that
have been important in shaping political
events. When Cardinal John, of Lor-
raine, was presented to the Duchess of
Savoy, she gave him her hand to kiss.
The great churchman was indignant.
'I'lI not Ice treated in this manner, said
he. 81 kiss the Queen, my mistress, and
shall l not kiss you, who are only a
Duchess" and despite the resistance of
the proud little Portuguese Princess, he
kissed her three times square in the
mouth. Voltaire was once publicly kiss
ed by the young and lovely Countess de
Nillars, who was compelled to this salute
by the claquers in the pit, who were mad
with enthusiasm over the great author.
Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, gave
Steel, butcher, kiss for a vote, and
another lady equally beautiful, Jane,
Duchess of Gordon, recruited II regiment
in q similar manner. She was IN the hab-
it of putting a shilling between her teeth,
the sum usually handed recruits to bind
the bargain, and invited any man who
filled the phy requirements of II sol
dier to take the silver from its place, and
become one of the famous Ninety -secopd.
Said Daniel O'Connell, in securing
votes for his favorite candidates: Let
no woman salute the man who votes
against them" OF course lie carried the
day. The portrait painter, Gilbert Stu
art, once met lady in Bostcn, who said
to him, 81 have Just seen your likeness,
Mr.. Stuart, and kissed it because it was
so much like you" "And did it kiss you
in return?" said he. ''No," replied the
lady. "Then, replied the gallant paint
er. ''it was not like me"
Speaking of kissing, the remarks of
the Rev. Sydney Smith, on the subject,
are particularly pertinent: ''We are in
favor" says he, ''of certain amount OF
shyness, when kiss is proposed, but it
should not be too long; and when the
fair one gives it, let it be administered
with warmth and energy; let there be
soul in it. If she closes her eyes and
signs Immediately alter it the effect is
greGtGr. She should be careful not to
slobber a kiss, but give it rs a cumming
bird runs his bill into a honeysuckle-
deep but delicate. There is much virtue
in a kiss when well delivered. We have
the memory of one We received III ouI
| youth which lasted us forty years, and
we believe it will be one of the last thing,
we shall think of when we die"
1t will be seen from the above extract.
that kissing ism new-fangled luxury, but
is ancient and venerable, coming down
from the fathers. Any attempt, there
fore, to throw disrepute upon the custom
or to do away with it, is a plain assanl
upon our liberties, and a rascally limo
vation that should not be tolerated.
