Jeb Stuart's Last Fight,

The battle had evidently reached the
turning point and Stuart saw the desper.
ate character Of dis situation. It was
difficult to use his artillery in such a
melee Of friend and foe, and his left wing
was soon in utter disorder. The Federal
attack had at last succeeded in breaking

every direction, and seeing Major Breath.
ed near him, Stuart shouted:
"BrcatheG, take command of NIL the
mounted men in the road and hold it
against whatever comes. If this road ia
lost, we are gone |"
Such an order was precisely suited to
the tastes of man like Breathed. 7
was intimately acquainted with him. and
never knew man who took such sincere
delight in desperate fighting. AtStuart's
order Breathed saluted, and shouted 10
the men 10 follow him, charged the Fed
eral column, apparently careless whether
he was followed or not. He was imme.
diatcly surrounded, and hot sabre fight
took place between himself and bis swarm
of enemies. A sabre blow nearly cut
him out of his saddle and he received n
pistol shot in his side; but he cut down

the pieces were captured but one. The

rushed the gun uf towards the Chicha-
hominy, followed by the cannoneers,

It would have been better for the gun
to have been captured. AS it was whirl-
ing on Mt wild speed it broke through the
cavalry, throwing them into disorder,
and before the line was .formed, the en-
emy struck it, and the battle was ended.
Both the southern wings were driven and
there was no hope of continuing the con-
test. Stuart was nearly in despair, and
was seen galloping about, shouting and
waving his sabre i'll a desperate attempt
to rally his men. But it was impossible.
The field was scene of the widest dis.

.voked save under the eye Of the owner
of the lips that invite and under the
tender spell that transforms those same
lips into the one object in all the world
that the lover yearns to taste. The
sign of a right sort of a kiss is unmis-
taxable. There is a mounting color
in the cheek and softer glitter in the
eyes that tells the story with youth or
maid. There is a story that the NOUS
tache plays leading part in the per-
feet kiss, but this must be matter of
opinion, as Byron-who was so fond
of kisses, longed to have all the kiss
able lips in the world made into one
mouth that he might kiss it-had no
moustache. Julius Caesar, too, who
dropped into kissing as a relaxation,
had no beard. Indeed, the chronicles
of kissing would probably show that
the beardless gallants. whose kissing
made the happiness of the queens OF
old, were none the less effective with
lips that knew no beard.

The Art Of kissing.


For the benefit of the youth of our
cities, especially young ladies, who are
of course ignorant of the art, we pub
lish the following observations on the
art of kissing. They emanate from
the pen of thorough Romeo, and
should be practical, but perhaps some
student in the art will test them and
communicate the result of his exper-
fence: Kissing may be said to be like
swimming. The kisser must abandon
himself wholly to the business-close
his eyes as it were, and trust to the
natural buoyancy of his body to recover
himself after the ecstatic plunge. A
girl takes to kissing as kittens take to
sport, with a natural aptitude for the
quintessencc of its delight. Under the
tuition of any girl the most bashful
youth soon learns the operation of the
lips, and, once learned, the art is never
lost. No rules can be given for the
pufsing or the placing of the lips. The
suggestion that it might be practised
before the mirror is not worth consid-
ering, as there is an intellectual pro-
cess in the artistic development of a
kiss which cannot be simulated or in
