THERE were clergymen who kissed
before Beecher was born. Said the
Rev. Sidney Smith "We are in
favor of q certain amount Of shyness
when a kiss is proposed, but it
should not be too long; and when
the fair one gives it, let it be admin
isterod with warmth and energy /;
let there be soul in it. If she
closes her eyes and sighs immcdi-
ately after it, the effect is greater.
She SHOULD be careful not TO slobber
a kiss, but give it as a humming-
bird runs his bill into a honey-suckle
deep, but delicate. There is much
virtue in kiss when well delivered.
We have the memory Of one we
received in our youth which lasted
us forty years, and we believe it will
be one of the last things we shall
think of when we die"

than could hardly he expected under

The dry goods and grocery trade Is

no ndulging in the luXuries Of life
We are coniining ourselves strictly to

ScmLic of colors which flashed before
the eye like the dlssolying gems Of n

dies, comparative strangers to Dallas
society, graced the occasion with their
presence. st. Louis had u charming
representative in the person of Miss

We have been in correspondence
with young lady at Hopkinsville,
Kentucky, whom we requested to seek
out the graves OF the confederate dead
of Freestone, who sleep in the ceme-
terry at that place. Accompanied by
the sexton, she examined the portion
occupied by the loved ones of company
q, 7th Texas infantry, Colonel
Gregg's,) who fell by the hand of dis
ease, and although it will afford no
consolation to the surviving friends to
know that the simple head boards,
rudely written by the hand of com
rade, have rotted to the ground, so
that their names could not be dis
cerned, yet it is pleasure orrevert to
revert in memory to their last resting
place.
No silver-mounted collins enclose
their dear remains, no costly robes cn-
wrap the cherished forms. They were
laid away in their uniform, which had
been worn through toilsome service,
perhaps, but, oh how honored by
their noble deeds No mausoleum
grand may ever rise to mark the spot
where they have fallen, but their
names are craven on the hearts of Il
grateful people, who fought so long and
so gallantly in defense of the Lost
Cause. ."-[ Freestone Herald.

AT Aylmer, Canada few days
ago, an act was performed by a girl
seventeen years old, which was as
heroic as its results were mournful.
Her little brother, who was left in
her care during the absence Of their
mother, fell through the ice into a
deep creek, near the shore of which
he was playing. She pIungei in
after him, and, getting him to the
surface, thrust him by main strength
into a position of safety, although
by so doing she knew that she was
losing her only chance Of escape.
When his hands had graspcd some
thing on the bank, by which he
could draw himself out, she calmly
bade him brace his feet against her
and Chamber up. The frightened
boy did so, and the pressure thus
brought to bear upon his sister
pushed her beneath the ice, where
her body was afterwards found.
