MAGIC OF KISS.

~ d Ii q ! &.
s.I have brought your dinner, faith er,"
The blacksKnith's daughter said,
Al she took from her arms Kettle
And she lifted its shining lid;
'sThere'a not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this"
And upon hia toil-worn forehead
She left childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore off his apron,
And dined In happy mood,
Wondering much at the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
While all about him were visions
Full OF prophetic bliss
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging
Merrily trudged away,
Stopping at sight of q squirrel,
Catching some wild birdie lay;
And thought how many shadow
OF life and fate we should miss,
II always our frugal dinners
We're seasoned with q kiss.

A talk WITH ARrEMUs WARD.

I met Artemus Ward but once.
was quite young at the time, and was
actings as city editor of the Star, pub
ished at Schenectady, New York.
While I was city editor of that sheet
met Artemus. I was standing ON a
bridge at the time, and in talking
about newspaper work, was about to
say something in regard to my heavy
editorial responsibility, but Ward
checked me by saying:
"What creek Is this?"
"Creek - Exclaimed. "Why, this
is the Erie Canal"
"Iow far is it navfgabie?"
"Why, of course, it is navigabie from
one end to the other"
"Well,' solemnly replied Ward, sthat
beats all the streams that I ever heard
of. BY the way, think can make
out some large boats anchored up the
stream there, what are they, propeilers
or side-wheelers 2"
1 replied that they were mere canal
boats, and were moved by horse power.
HAh /! I didn't think the stream was
as shallow as that" said Artemus.
GAS shallow as what ?''
"Why, you say that these boats are
pulled along by horses. Now, OF course
they must walk along in front of the
boat, mustn't tnoy. L used TO run d
stone boat on my lamented Uncle
Johns farm, and distinctly remember
that the horses walked along in front"
mentally declared that I had never
before met with such ignorance. I
spent some time in explaining the
peculiarties of the big ditch, and Just
as had begun to think that at last I
had set the stranger right on tho sub
ject, he knocked my hopes into kind
ling wood by remarking:
81 suppose that when the stream
dries up in summer they put the boats
on wheels, don't they ?'
Then I began again and explained
every feature in the canal, from New
York to Erie. How attentively he
listened to my words. 1 can stiil see
that melancholy face, lit by the sad
light of the stars, and those mournfll
eyos looking into mine so earnestly ;
aud again 1 hear, as did then, after
I had talked for nearly half an hour,
going fully into the details of boating.
the low pathetic draWl:
"Any saw-milis on this stream that
you know Off"
Shortly after some gentlemen came
| along who seemed to be acquainted
with my obtuse friend. Presently one
called him Artemus, and then l com
menced to reflect. l always reweh
best when Pm hid away sometiectre,
SO went and hid myself.

A friend told us a curious story in
reference to the petrifnction Of the body
of young lady who died in this county
OF typhoid fever some twenty years
ago. The body was exhumed last
week for the purpose of re-interment
IN another borying gound, and the
great weight of the casket attracted the
attention of all engaged. An exami-
nation showed the features to bc as
perfect as the day the corpse was
buried. Our friend estimates the
weight of the body and metal coffin at
700 pounds.

From Madagascar we have the re.
mains OF eggs that were found among
human implements that We're good
lift for two men, aud that, after being
cut in two, We're probably used as yes
sells for holding water, their capacity
being several gallons. The hen that
laid these monster eggs is INK rown to
science, but must have been Il wontrous
spectacle. Two other birds, the soil.
taire and nazarene, have also become
extinct within the traditions of man.
The fOrmsr attained a weight of forty
five pounds, had feet and beak like a
turkey, but in other respects reeembled
the didus above mentioned. The
plumage was of brownish- gray color,
and, according to De Legnat, produced
n noise like rattle by fiuttering their
wings, which, he says, We're enlarged
at the extremity of the bone into a
round knob, like II musket ball. The
nazarene had only three toes, and
from its bones we judge that it was
thrice as large rs the didtls. Imagine a
pigeon, or flock of them, as large as
an ostrich, with huge hook ed bills,
waddling along on short, stumpy legs,
covered with scales, their bodies orna-
mented with Haunting plumes, and
perhaps an idea of these strange crea-
tures that crawled on tho ground, hav-
ing wings like bats, might be mention
ed, but tho above instances will, per-
haps, serve to show some of thewonder-
full characteristics of the ancestors of
our present birds from an evolutionary
point of view.
