young lady Of Silver had wsgered
thirteen several asculatory INSTALL
ments of bliss on the election, against
new dress. 1t now turns out that
the report as published was entirely
false. We thought it was at first,
because the manner Of delivering the
kisses or the character OF the dress
was not given. There is a, much
difference in kisses as there is in
dresses, and there is as great a
variety of the one as the other. Any
one at all posted up on the little
events of social lifc knows that. The
kinds Of kisses that we can call to
mind just now, in the haste Of COM
position, are these platonic kisses.
which emanate from the higher and
purcr emotions of human nature,
which arc more angelic than they
are earthly, more devine than
human emotional kisses, which pro-
coed from sudden impulse and carry
no lasting effect, which are given or
taken as hecdlessly as rapidly, and
forgotten just US quickly; commercial
kisses, such as the young lady al
luded to is said to have wagered, and
which are as sculless as piece
of porphory, and just as un-
satisfactory; the lovers kiss, which
is so full of that undiscovered some
thing that makes one forget that he
is earthly and feel for the time as
though angels were bearing him on
their downy wings into some
measureless expanse OF unalloyed
bliss, which is given and received
with that unison of thought and feel
ing and accuracy of aim that comes
only from transcendent harmony of
heart. Every body knows what it
is. And there is the sexless kiss
the worst, perhaps, IN the whole
catalogue-such rs is illustrated
sometimes when two ladies meet.
The parental kiss is scarcely worth
taking into account. The sensuous
kiss is the most dangerous of all, and
should be eschewed carefully by all
respectable people of both sexes
The kiss of friendship is the very re-
verse of it, and is conducive, accord
ing to the best authority, to the well
fare Of the participants. These are
some of The varieties of kisses. Since
it was not stated in the item in ques-
ton which of these many sorts was
to be paid as forfeit against the new
dress, and in view of some other in
accuracies Of statement contained il
the same, We doubted its truth. The
doubt was fully sustained by the
receipt of the following per.
fumcd note, which was laid
ON our table last night. 1t was
written in lady's hand, and fully
explains itself.
MIR. EpIroR: hope yon will
allow me- the space in which
to correct a report that has gone
abroad respecting me. I am repre-
sented as having wagered thirteen
kisses against new dress that Til
den would be elected. OF course
my name was not mentioned. bu,
enough of the attending circum
stances were given to disclose my
identity. desire to say that, in
the first place, am not in need ol
clothing and. in the second place,
the honey of my lips is only be
slowed where love directs 1t. ] an
not a Democrat, ami have never be,
AS much as smile on the
Democratic candidate. Ii it lay IN
the power Of my lips to elect Hayes
Mr.. Editor, l assure you | would
be unsparing in my duty to my
country, however ugly face nigh
be presented TO me.
'Nausht from my kiss would his discover
Still would we kiss, and kiss forever.
