He kissed NE! All! had drst known it,

But now. aimee in love he huth done it,
'Tis a bliss beyond all that lsnowt
He kissed me last night: Q he kissed us
In tue dusk Of that odorous ere;
And, rather than this to have missed me,
would every precious hope give:
would every loving wish stil'e.
Each yearning maiden's breast sips,
And each precious thought would rifle.
And give for = dsnuyht from his lips!
He kissed me last night '.none the roses,
And his arms held u,e fast in their fold,
Just as the sweet passion Hover closes
Ger the ocwdrop Its scented leaves hold.
Ny head dropped low to his shoulder.
With passionate hunger oppressed;
he kissed mc, and then. growing botder,
His arms held me fast 10 his breast!
He kissed me last night meath the tar-beams:
All; life then had no other chsrms;
And he must have seen by the fur glcauas
How loved to rest there in his arms.
He kissed me! All! II did sigh then,
1t was that lips purt before death;
wished III my bliss could die then,
While my tips were still sweet with his breath.
He kissed me lust night! O he kissed me
As If I'LL my life he would drain;
And wonder me now has he missed me,
Aud if be would kiss me again.
. would he In rapture cnfold me!
And would he my yearninss divine,
That his arms might forever1uore hold me,
And his lips cling forever to nine:

Among . crowd Of excurslonists wandering
around the City-Ha1l grounds yesterday after
noon was woman about GO years Of age who
had some remark to make about everything she
saw, and she CLEANED good deal Of valuable
information from bootbIack who was taking
half-day's vacation.
"Where are the Water-Works7' she asked,
as they sat down on the stone steps.
80, up here mile or so,'' he answered,
but want to tell you that the water doesn't
work. It's the big engine which works, while
the water loafs around ali the timc.n
She reflected for q awhile, and thea remarked:
:" How grandly those fountains sguirt.'
"Wrong again, grandma" he replied in his
squirt, but the water. Those fountains wouldn't
be any better than posts if it wasn't for the
water"
Yes-ahem-yes,n coughed the old woman
soon a wagon went by labeled Sire Depart

observed:
'*There's something1 ought to explain. Now,
you'd naturally think that that wagon distribu-
ted fire around town, but it doesn't. They jog
around from place to place, carrying supplies,
coal, etc. And, 1 presume you understand,
also, that fire wagon is not awagon On tire"
She seemed considerably annoyed By his lucid
explanations, but she could not help inquir1ng:
''Are them deers-hclds around the gas

"Oh, no, grandma-not much. They are
made OF iron aud simply: resemble dccrs-hcad.
