And oh! she fonts me, she houts me!
And spurns and scorns and scouts me!

But oh: this little lady's by far

And that, say Whist she will and feiHn what sh e
She can't do well without me!

And all her pride fersakes her,

ACTRESSES KISSES.

Janauschek's kisses are but rare,
aud they are very Matrenly. They
come with words that are growled
forth from deeply embedded dia-
phram and are mere touches-not
like what Soldene's used to be in the
days of old when she gave her stage
lovers the full benefit of the mann
moth cave that yawns across hsr face.
There is msle kiss to the square foot
of Soldene's mouth than that Of any
other woman on the stage. FAlice
Oates did some very pretty kissing.
She could kiss high tragedy or low
comedy, and between the two ex-
'tremes ring in every known variety
from Modjeska's stately iciness to
Panliue MarkhaIm's smack. On one
occasion an acter, feeling full Of in
spiration or beer, seized her on the
stage and gave her hug that must
have made her ribs meet, aud be-
slowed paroxysmal kiss upon her
Next night her husband appeared il
the wings with q big navy revolver
ready TO blow the top of the actor
head off should he try it again, sayin;
he could furnish all the paroxysm
wanted in that family himself.

with a kind good night. do not say
this is wrong II there is true love In ii;

words. You may see the wife of only a

Alice Carey's Sweetest Peem.

OF all the beautiful pictures
That hang on Memory's wall,
Is one of q dim old forest
That seemeth best of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks Olden,
Dark with the mistletOe;
Not for the violets golden
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
COqustting all day with the sunbcams.
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland
Where the bright red berries rest;
Nor the pinks. nor the pale, sweet cOwsliI
1t seemeth to me the best.
snce had q little brother
With eyes that were dark and deep
In the lap of tina. olden forest
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down OF the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow.
We roved there the beautiful summsrs-
The summers Of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one OF the autumn ewes
l made for my little brother
A bed Of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck in u meek embrace,
As the light OF immortal beauty
Silently covered his face!
And when the arrows of sunset
Lsdged In the trse-tops bright,
He fell in his saint like beauty,
Asleep by the gates OF light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang on Nemory's wall,
The one of the din old forest
Seemeth the best vi all.

THE NEW COMET.

From the New York Herald, June 25th.l
Although new comet is no cause
for marvel among astronomers the
sudden appearance of the celestial
yisitant now reported has had start
ling effect upon them on both SIDES OF
the Atlantic. Its arrival has been as
unexpected as that of 176O, which,
the Did records say, suddenly became
visible i'll Western Europe when It's
distance from the earth was within
seventy-five one-thousandths OF the
earth's mean distance from the sun.
1t IS probable the comet now visible
is the same that was reported ON
June 1st by Professor Gould, from
the National Observatory of the
Argentine Confederation and cabled
from the Cape of Good Hope at a
little later date. On the 9th lust. q

"Bright comet discovered, which on
June 10th will be near Gamma
OrioDls aud on June 9th will be near
Beta Aurige in the Northern aemis-
pbere." 1t was seen almost stimuli:
ttsneously by Professor Swift, OF
Rochester, and Sharpless, of Phila-
delphia, and Professor Henry, ol
Paris, the last named observer having
seen it about five hours before it was
noticed in Philadelphia. Telegram;
from London, as we'll as all parts o1
this country, indicate that 1t was very
generally observed, aud astronomer
are already calculating it's course.
