Kiss on the sly.
Philadelphia Times.

There is to be found much refresh
ment in we'll proportional kiss. This
much everybody acknowledges, though
only frankfew have the courage to own
it openly. And it is curious fact, as yet
unexplained by the philosopher, that
the slyer the kiss is the more there is in
it of refreshment. A kiss that is paid
as forfeit before a whole room full Of
people is prosaic, not to say embar
RAISING. The girl laughs which spoils
the romance, and the fellow, ten to one,
bushes neither of them thinking much
of it, 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-snd
the situation is as different as possible.
That sort of kiss, fired off in a hurry
behind door, or in a conservatory, is
like an electric shock, and is as sweet
as cream. The taste Of it sort of holds
on, and constantly suggests the pro-
priety-or improperly, as the case
may be-of trying it again. And the
laughing and blushing 6re exactly re-
versed. The fellow laughs without
spelling the romance bit, and the girl
bushes like a pink carnation. 1t is
queer that the very same thing should,
under such slightly altered circum-
stances, be SO entirely different, nor is
it any the less queer because the differ
ence has existed from the earliest ages
of the world.

A Village Beaufy's Fortune.

Many years ago young man made
his appearance in Stratford, Conn,
and passed few weeks at the tavern
which then existed to afford shelter to
stage coach passengers. Whence he
came and what was his business, none
could guess. Directly opposite the
tavern stood a small cottage and forge
of a blacksmith named Folsom. He
had daughter VINO was the beauty of
the village, and it was her fortune to
captivate the heart of the young
stranger. He told his love, said he
was travelling incog., but in conf
dence gave her his real name, saying
that be was heir to large fortune.
She returned his love, and they were
married few weeks after.
The stranger told his wife they must
visit New Orleans. He did so; and the
gossips of the town made the young
wife unhappy by disagreeable hints
and jeers. In few weeks he return
ed, but before week had elapsed he
received large budget of letters, and
told his wife he must at once return to
England, and must go alone. He took
his departure, aud the gossips had an
other glorious opportunity TO make a
confiding woman wretched. To all
but herself it was regular case of de-
sertion. The wife became mother,
and for two years lived in silence and
hope. By the end Of that time letter
was received by the Stratford beauty

Tobacco as a Match-Mak

All the nervousness, embarrassment,
and terrible excitement attendant upon
hpopping the question" in highly civil
tized countries are avoided by young
men of the Fchulian Tartar variety de-
sirous to marry, whose simple and dis
Greet custom it is to ascertain their
chances of success or failure in matri-
monial enterprise by the following pro-
ceeding; The Tchulian Coelebs in
search of wife having filed a brand
new pipe with fragrant tobacco STEALTH
" enters the dwelling OF the fair one
upon whom he has bestowed his affec-
tions, deposits the pipe upon a con-
spicuous article of furniture. and retires
on tiptoe to some convenient hiding
place in the neighborhood, local ETH
quette requiring that he should execute
this strategetic movement apparently
undetected by the damsel of his choice
or any member of her family. Pres
emily he returns without further affec-
ton or secrecy, and looks into the
apartment In a casual sort of way. A
single glance at the pipe he left behind
him enables him to learn the fate of his
proposal. If it has been smoked, he
goes forth an accepted and exultant
bridegroom; il not, the offer of his
hand and heart has been irrevocably
rejected as not even worth puff of
tobacco. BY this ingenious expedient
the plan and humiliation of verbal re-
fusal and fruitless pleadings are spared
to luckless wooers, and Tartar maidens
are saved from opportunities justly re-
garded as peculiarly trying to female
sensibility. The pipe considered as a
matrimonial ambassador, has at least
this to recommend it--that it may be
relied upon to commits no breach of con-
fidence if its mission proved successful.

A Railroad Pool.

Mr.. E. P. Alexander, vice president
of the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road, in recent argument before a
committee of the Alabama legislature,
gave the following explanation of a
pool, as it is understood by railroad
men:
"a pool is really an agreement be
tween competing line at any given
point about to this effect: That if all
will agree to maintain the equal rates,
which have been generally arrived at
by long struggles between the compet-
ing markets, in which each has had all
the benefit of its geographical position
and advantages, then any line which
does an excess of business, above the
average of former years, and above
what would seem its natural share of
the business, shall compensate the line
which is deficient in some satisfactory
manner. 1t is hard to explain how such
an effort TO prevent determinations and
fluctuations should become so general
ly misunderstood.

problem infinitely without becoming

About Advertising.

If you can arouse curiosity by an
advertisement il is a great point gained.
The fair sex don't hold all the curiosity
in the world.
A thing worth doing is worth doing
well. A thing worth advertising is
worth advertising well. A newspaper
worth advertising in once is worth max
ing contract with.
Don't expect an advertisement to
bear fruit in one night.
1t is a mistaken notion that fine
store in an eligible location, surround
ed by attractive signs, is a superior adj
vertisement; for the experience of the
most enterprising merchants is that it
pays better to spend less in rent and
more in advertising.
Advertising is the pole that knocks
the persimmens.
Don't be afraid to invest in printers
ink, lest your sands of life be nearly
run out.
Trying to do business without adver-
Using is like winking at a pretty girl
through pair of green goggles. You
may know what you are doing but no
body else does.
The enterprising advertiser proves
that he understands how to buy, be-
cause in advertising he knows how to
ell.
Bread is the staff of human life, and
advertising is the staff of business.
A simple card may profitably stand
years without changing, but a sensation
advertisement should be changed MS
often as you can get the printer to do it.
We don't recommend advertising as
the best way to get a good wife, but we
can recommend it as the best way to
get good trade.
A heavy advertisement once is more
than quadrupled in value by small
card published for few months after,
giving your address.
You can't eat enough in week TO
last you a year, and you can't adver-
tise on that plan either.
Now is the time to think about adj
vertising, and reflection should be fol-
lowed by judicious action.
Tie make man realize an idea Us
you realize it, is what is necessary 10
make him understand his needs. Ad-
vertisements should aim to place q
matter so clearly before the public that
they see it as clearly as the advertiser
does.
Enterprising people arc beginning to
learn the value of advertising the year
round. The persistency of those who
are not inundated by the cry of dull
times" but keep their names ever be-
fore the public, vii! surely place them
on the right side in the end.

Wasted Vitality.

"Better wear out than rust out" has
been repeated thousands Of times, and
it will still bear repeating. To live an
aimless life Is a curse TO any man or
woman. Better die young than to die
after life that had no end in view.
1t is necessary to health and happi-
ness that the powers of the mind be
disciplined to pursue some object as an
end steadily, from day to day and from
year to year, until the vital energies
give out. Employment is necessary TO
mans highest physical and spiritual
good, so long as sleep, food, and occa-
sional relaxation by amusement or
travel will restore his exhausted ener-
gies to their normal condition.
Not to know what to do with ones
self is condition of wIetchedness.
Better have too many irons in the
fire" than none at all. Many man
who has acquired fortune by his in
dustry and happy strikes in business
dies prematureiy of having nothing to
do. No greater disaster can come
upon man once active than to cease
activity, and allow his hours of idle
ness to hang like an incubus upon him.
Riches prove q curse to any man who
does not understand this law Of his
physical being, and who stops doing
when he should change his doing.
Change is rest.

The Boys Heart.

Get hold of the boys heart. Yonder
locomotive comes like whirlwind
down the track, and regiment of
armed men might seek to arrest it in
vain. 1t would crush them and plunge
unheeding on. But there is little
lever in its mechanism that at the
pressure of mans hand, will slacken
its speed, and in a moment or two
bring it painting and still, like whipped
spaniel, at your feet. BY the same lit
tie lever the vast steamship is guided
hither and yon, upon the sea, in spite
of adverse wind or current. That sensi-
tive and responsive spot by which a
boys life is controlled, is his heart.
With your grasp gently and firmly on
that helm, you may pilot him whittier
you will. Never doubt that he has a
heart. Bad and willful boys very often
have the tenderest hearts hidden away
somewhere beneath incrustations of
sin or barbados of pride. And it is
your business to get at that heart, get
hold of that heart, keep hold of it by
sympathy, confding in him, manifest
ly working only for his good by little
indirect kindnesses to his mother or
sister, or even his pet dog. See him
at his home or invite him into yours.
Provide him some little pleasure, set
him at some little service of trust for
you; love him practically. Any way
and every way rule him through the
heart.-Anon-
