pout, and parting oil lips as they touch
That's kiss in the abstract. II does not seem
much;
But whore is the language can rightly EXP ress
iti
What letters can sound 1t 10 help you to guess
iti
What simile suggest or what fancy reveal
The mysterious bliss II can cause one to feel :
Here nature assuredly won diploma
For fragrance OF favor and perfect aroma.
A kiss is electrical-comes with start
That tingles delicate shock to the heart,
And sets the eyes twinkling with rapturous
delight,
Like stars in the sky OF clear frosty night.
When It's over the ecstacy clings to you yet;
Tis Joy TO remember and never forget.
All pleasure condensed in an instant OF bliss
Can but partly describe what's contained in
kiss.

55- 100 grains. All double eagles which
have not been artihcially reduced in

The double eagle should continue cur

the gold dollar exceeds the legal limit
of wear by nearly one-eighth OF grain.

Just the article needed, procured q supply
for the child. On reaching home and
acqualnting his wife with what he had

to the child, as she was strongly In favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed in suffering and the parents with
out sleep. Returning home the day fol-
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse; and while contemplating another
sleepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept we'll, and the little fellow
awoke in the morning bright and happy.
The mother was delighted with the sud
den and wonderful change. aud although
