There is a great deal, III a kiss. !
Adams first kiss of Eve must have
been a queer sensation-lik the
feeling of a man who first ate an oys-
ter. In ancient Rome a kiss was
religious ceremony. The nearest
friend of a dying person received
his soulp by a kiss, for the soul was
supposed to leave the body through
the lips. Pliny thinks the Roman
women began to degenerate when
they kissed everybody miscellaneous
ls. Among the early Christians a
kiss was "the seal of prayer" 1t
was txeacherous sign in Judas, the
botrayer. In our times a kiss means
a good deal-from the kiss between
two young ladies' to the kiss record
ed in the following stories. Here is
number one: "a tender swain re-
preached his fair one with letting a
rival kiss her hsnd-a fact which
she. Indignantly denied. But / saw
it, Nay, then, cIfed the offended
fair, 4 am now convinced that you
do:-not love me, since you believe
your eyes in preference to my word"
Number two is also sharp and pithy;
IA gentleman kissed lady's hand
in fit Of gallantry. shedeliberate-
sly drew her glove off and dropped it
on the. floor why did you do that2
he asked, oh she replied, 4 never
wear soiled gloves And L. said he,
picking it up and putting it in the
fire, 4 don't like to sec dirty things
lying about"

Thomas Paine-Hls Greed and
Belief as taken from his Wrl-

The recent controversy between
Ingersoll and the New York Observer
concerning Tom Paine renders the
following, which we clip from an ex-
change, Of some interest:
Ibelicve in the equality of man,
and l believe that religious duties
consist in doing justice, loving mor-
cy and endeavoring to make our fel'
low creatures happy.
My own mind is'my own church.
1t is necessary to the happiness Of
man that he be mentally faithful to
himself.
The word of God is the creation
which we behold.
1t is with a pious fraud as with a
bad action-it bogets a'calamitous
necessity of going on.
The man does not exist who can
say I have prosecuted him, or that l
have in any case returned evil fol
evil,
My own opinion is, that those
whose lives have been spentin doing
good and endeavoring to make thoiI
fellow mortal happy, will bc happy
hereafter. y

not be too careful of the eyesight,
and should study how we may best
husband its power.

The Ilights OF the Finder.

A curious case as. to the rights Of
the finder of lost property, whose
owner is unknown, is reported from
Rhode Island. The plaintiff bought
an old safe and offered to- sell it to
thcdefendant. The defendant would
not buy it, but agreed to take it and
sell it if he could, using ithimself in
the meantime. While it was thus
in his possession he found a roll Of
bank bills inside the lining. No
one knew to whom they belonged
The defendant therefore concluded
to keep them. The plaintiff, upon
learning Of'the discovery of the mon
'ey demanded the return of the safe
just asit was delivered The defen-
dant returned It, but without the
bank bill; whereupon the plaintiff
sued for their value as money found.
The Supreme Court held that the
finder was entitled to retain the
property as against the party who
put the safe into. his hands for sale;
and the authorities generally main
tain thesrightrof the finder, in this
class Of cases, as against all persons
except Che real owner. :
