a Kiss ON the Sly.

There is to be found much ~refreshment,
says the Philadelphia Times, in q well-pro-
portioned kiss. This much everybody &C
knoWledges, though only q frank few have
the courage to acknowledge it openly. And
it is @ curious fact, as yet unexplained by the
philosopher, that the slyer the kissis the more
there is in it Of ~refreshment. A kiss that is
paid as q forfeit before 9 whole room full of
people is prosaic, not to say embarrassing.
The girl laughs, which spoils the romance,
and the fellow, ten to one, bushes. Neither
of them think much Of il, and they both are
apt pretty soon to forget all about it. But
let the same fellow kiss the same girl when
nobody is looking-and the station is as diff
ferent as possible. That sort Of a kiss, fired
off in a hurry behind Q door or . conserva-
tory, is like an electric shock and is as sweet
IS whipped cream. The taste Of it sort Of
holds On and constantly suggests the propriety
or improperly, as the case may be-of try
ing it again. And the laughing and blushing
are exactly reversed. The fellow laughs,
without; spelling the romance q bit, and the
girl bushes like apink carnation.
It is queer that the very same thing should
under such slight altered circumstances be 50
entirely different, nor is it any the less queer
because the difference has existed from the
earliest ages Of the world. Kissing on the
sly was the rule among the prehistoric races,
just as It is the rule now. The proposition Is
demonstrable by comparative proof. That
eminent French servant, ID Ellie Berthet, has
shown that all the peculiarities Of primitive
are represented in the savage races ex-
tant to-day. In his exhaustive work upon

The handsome new residence of Capt.
S. b. Warren on State street, was the
scene last Thursday, OF one of those social
epochs which are doing so much to aug
ment the attachment Of Emporians to
their own city, and to promote its repu-
tation among strangers as one of the
most desirable places of residence in
Kansas. Rarely, indeed, if ever, have
the ample facilities for dispensing The
hospitalities of an elegant home been
rendered more fully available than upon
the occasion in question, and the many
friends of Captain Warren and his ex
cellent wife can cherish no pleas
auter remembrance Of the closing hours
of the year which will cease to be to-
night, than that which they entertain of
the highly enjoyable gathering OF last
evening. In addition to the rare con-
Veniences and appointments Of a truly
model establishment no delicate atten-
ton or kindly office known to the most
experienced entertainer were forgotten
by the host and hostess, who contributed
so successfully 10 the pleasure OF their
guests. Two of the spacious apartments
were devoted to dancing. an excellent
orchestra furnishing the music for this
enjoyable pastime, while persons
of quieter tastes and more dig
nified tendencies enjoyed cards and other
social pursuits in other parts of the com.
modious mansion. Supper, embracing
all the tempting edibles known To the
cuisine, was an equally popular feature
of the evening, which was dispatched in
season for a resumption of Terpsichor-
can hostilities, which continued till af-
ter midnight, when, with reportory of
animated choruses, the happy as
senblage dispersed after one of the most
delightful evenings known to the oldest
society person in EmnOria.

REAL PEOPLE IN NOVELS.

Dickens books are crowded with per-
sonal adaptations, none, or very few of
which would have been recognized but
for the vanity or the umbrage of tie
principals themselves. His method was
to take some strIkinglY singular trait of
character, some phenomenon in human
nature, and surround il with qualities
totally different from those found in the
original and thus he preserved the orig
inality without exposing his model. We
are not told whether the elder Dickens
described himself in Micawber, but it Is
certain that nobody else did, and how
many of the admirers of Walter Savage
Lander would have recognized the poet
in the "Boythorn" of BLEAK House y"
When Dickens was engaged on Dom
hey and Son" ON the continent, he di-
rected Mr.. Hablet Browne, the artist, TO
post himself at certain spot in the city
where he would meet with gentleman
of the type of physiognomy which he
wished Dombey, senior, TO take, yet
alarmed though he possibly might
have been had he known the design it
is not to be supposed that this veritable
prototype would have considered him
self DOmbey merely because the linea-
ments of the two bore remarkable re-
semblance.
| no less remarkable in persons who in
general character most resemble them to
consider certain types of the human fam
| lily, as portrayed in fiction, monstrosi-
ties, and impOssibIlities. In one of his
pretaccs, the author of nicholas Nick
leby" says, "Mrs. Nickleby, sitting bod
| lily before me once asked whether l real
ly believed there ever was such q wo-
man." John Foster, the biographer, who
! is grave over the complications which
grew out of his friends caricatures, was
himself the model of Kenny Meadows's
portrait of Master Froth, and is said to
have been the original of Fusbus in Lady
| Lytton-Bulwer's "Chevelry." Charlotte
Bronte got into some difficulties with re-
gard to her too life-like local portraits
| in shirley" Mrs. Gaskell says OF
her West Yorkshire sketches
in this book: people recognized
themselves or were recognized by others
| in her graphic descriptions of their per
sOnal appearance and modes OF action
and turns of thought though they were
| placed in new positions and figured away
in scenes far different from those in which
their actual lie had been passed. :. The
three curates were real living men
haunting Haworth and the neighboring
| districts and so obtuse in perception that
after the nrst DurSt OF anger at having
their ways and habits chrOnicled was
over, they rather enjoyed the joke OF
calling each other by the names she had
given them. Mrs. Pryor was well
known to many who loved the original
dearly. The whole family of Workers
were, 1 am assured, almost daguerreo,
types" As neither portrAiture is of an
uncomplimentary nature, it may added
