The Feminine MOuth.

A person who has made feminine mouths
the subject Of much, volunteers his conelu-
sion to males with sweethearts. They are
az follows: II her mouth is very small,
there is not much mind, but over much
shallow sentiment If she possesses very
large mouth, she will possess a good brain,
but the trouble is in kissing it. Large
mouths put q man to artistic test he will
be driven to his wits end whether to begin
at one corner and conclude on the other or
to make d heroic dash at the middle and Gu
deavor to reach both corners. But if you
are a kissing artist it can be covered nicely
enough. If your sweetheart has coarsely
formed mouth she will be sensual and full
of strong, coarse points of character, and
will rise a row in the family If she has a
delicately formed mouth, with rounded lips,
and OF velvety color, she will have much
senzibility and perfection of character, but
will not astonish by her brilliancy OF con-
ception or execution. 1t is good mouth,
because it IS s-sz4able and submissive. Shun
blue-lipped s.l., thin-Iipped women they
bore you to death with literatue or woman's
rights theories, while you want your dinner,
or spoil your temper with their red-hot
scolding tongues.

WEBSTER AND CORWIN,

One Of the guests at dinner-party where
Daniel Webster was present turned to him
and said MIR. Webster, if it will not seem
intrusive, should like to ask you question:
What was the greatest thought which ever
occupied your niind?"
The company were toying with the dessert
and indulging in after-dinner talk But
instantly there was the hush of expectation
as all eyes fastened upo~ the great states
man.
Mr.. Webster'p face became grave, as pas
sing his hand over his massive forehead. he
answered in his deepest tones.-
"Sir' the greatest thought ever had was
the sense of my rcsponsi bility to Almighty
God"
here was pause. one Of of those solcmn
pauses which Indicate absorbing seriousness
and theE the gnests, in large discourse, talked
on the high theme of time and eternity.
The great Wing orator and humorist of
Ohio, Thomas Corwin, was once talking
with several gentlemen. The conversation,
which had bccu witty and epigrammatic,
became grave and interpretive. Some one
of the company made remark about the
unknown future.
"When | reflect" SAID Mr.. Corwin, taking
up the remork, "that am to be judged by
righteous and ominipotent God, | nearly
go mad" And the orator grasped his head
with both hnnds. as If he would press down
his tumultuous brain.
at Is not the big sins thot trouble me; ie
is the little snakes" he said, ON one occasion
with an emphatic pantomine that made the
hearers shudder for holding up his hands
and extending his fingers, he caused them to
wriggle IS if they had been serpents
The anecdotes carry they own moral.
These were great men, butrot men who coul1
hear the Dialogue" much less the Sermon
on the Mount, "and feel no sclf-respect.'
Young men sometimes 'make a mock al
sin" and sncer at "thc Judgment to come
Such recklessness never characterized Web
Stcr or Corwin. Whatever might have beer
their transgressions,-and they were no
saints.-thev telt too keenly the responsible
" Of life, and revcrcnccd too highly th'
| judicial attri butte OF God. to mock at tn,

BY JAMES q. CLARK.

Competent literary critics have proneunc
/ ed the following poem unsurpassed by any
other production Of rs class ia our langUag,.
| 1t is perfect in rhyme, beautiful in figure
and expression.
Leona, the hour draws nigh,
The hour We se waited so leag,
For the angel 10 open the door through the sky
That my spirit may break from its prison ana try
Its voice in infinite song.
Just now, the slumbers Of night
Came Ger with peaee-giyinS BREATH
The cnrt&in, half-lifted, revealed to my sight
Those windows which look the Kingdom of light,
hat borders the river Of death.
as And a vision fell solemn and sweet
Bringing CLEANS Of q nofning-Ift Iana
L saw the white shore which the pale waters beat
And heard the low lull they broke al their feet
Who walked the beautiful strand.
And wondcI why spirits should cling
To taeir clay with struggle and sigh,
When life's purple autumn is better than spring.
And the soul flies away, like a sparrow to sing, E
In climate where leaves never die.
Leona, ON. close to my bed,
And lay your dear hand my brow;
The touch that thrilled me in days thut fed,
And raised the iost of youth from the dead,
Can brighten the brief moments
We have lived from the cold world apart,
And your trust too generous and trae
For their hale to overthrow; when the slandercr )
dart
Was ranking 50 deep in my desolate heart;
was drarcr than ever to you.
thank the great Father for this.
That our love is not layislied in vain
Each germ in the future will blossom to bliss,
And the forms that love and the lips that kiss
Never shrink the shadow of pain.
BY the light Of this faith am taught
That my labar is only begun,
In the strength Of this hope struggled and fought
With the legion Of wrong till my arnor has caught
The CLEAN of Eternity's
Leona, look forth and behold
From the hesd-land, from hill-siGe and deep,
The day-kins surrenders his banners Of gold
The twilight advances through woadand and void,
And the dcws beginning to weep.
The moons silver hair lies uncurlcd
Down the broad-Greastet. mountains away;
The sunsets red glory again shall be furled
On the walls Of the west DER the plains Of the world
And shall rise on a lilnitless way.
Oh come not in tears to my tomb,
Nor plant with frail flowers the sod
There is rest among roses 10 swce for its gloom,
And life where the lilies eternaly bloom,
In tue Misunderstanding gardens Of God.
Yet deeply the those memories burn
Which bind me to you and to earth,
And sometimes have Thought my being would yean
Frsm the land Of the beautiful home ts return
And revisit the home of my birth.
'TwOuld even be pleasant to stay
And walk by your side to tho last,
But the land-breeze Of heavens beginning to play
Life's shadows meeting Eternity day,
And the tumult is hushed in the past.
Leona, goodbye; should the grief
That is gathering now, ever bc
Too dark fer your faith you VIII long for relief,
And remember, the journey, though lonesome, Is
brief
O'er lowland and river to nae.
