about 2 A. NJ, after kissing each other
good night" at least thirty-seven times.
well, guess / must &c" he says with
a sigh about two hours before he does
go. Then, after another half hours
conversation about one thing and an
other, he presses her hand with much
pressiveness, says he really must go,
and-lovingly fingers another half
hour Then he says he didn't know it
was so late, picks up his hat and moves
toward the door, where he puts his
arm around her to prevent her falling
in a swoon, and kisses her five minutes
in one inning and--still fingers. Then
he gives her one more kiss just for luck
and reluctantly steps down and out into
the back, lonesome night, and calls
around the next night. That is how
they parted years ago-if we have not
been misinformed. d.-NOrTid0tc Herald.

/. Pair of Historic,i Drum.sticks.

Col. Morrow, sayythe Niles (Mich,)

shape of couple Of drum-sticks which
have unique and wonderful history.
These were found by the side of dead

by whom they were used during the
remainder of the Revolutionary war.
a son of the American owner was 4
drummer in the war of 1Sl2: and was
with Gen. Jackson on the memorable
Sth day Of january, 1915, when the
British under Pac&enham sustained
their terrible defeat ut New Orleans.

press the Joy of the victors after the
battle was over. A grandson was 4

these sticks were used at the head Of
the column which made its triumphal
