Nearly Kissed Themselves to Death.

At an evening party in Kelkheim the
conversation happened to turn upon
kissing, and the question arose how
many situations of this class could be
exchanged between two ardent lovers
within certain space of time. As usual,
opinions differed, and the discussion
waxed warm. Presently a fiery youth
offered to bet anybody present the Ger
man equivalent of 10-pound note that
he and his betrothed would kiss each
other 10000 times within ten hours,
provided they were permitted to partake
of some slight refreshment at intervals
of half an hour during the performance.
His wager having been accepted and
the money posted the affianced couple
addressed themselves to the achievement
of their congelial task. At the expira
ton of the first hour their account stood
credited with 1000 kisses. During the
second they added another thousand,
and during the third $50 to that number.
Then, pitiful to state, they both broke
down. The youths lips were stricken
with cramp, and the maiden tainted
away. Later on in the evening she was
compelled to take to her bed with a
sharp attack of neuralgia. An even
notwithstanding result ensued from this
surfeit Of tender endearment, for 1t led
to the breaking off, by mutual consent,
of a hopeful matrimonial engagement.
Young lovers should keep this sad tale
in mind and moderate their transports,
for, strange as it may seem, Dan Cupid
himself may be kissed to death.-Loaa-

WHICH SHOULD HE MARRYl
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

Said the youthful Fred to his Uncle Harry:
Wrye really made up my mind to marry,
eut cannot decide if it better
That Love or Lucre shall forge the fetter."
% All wedlock bringeth us joy and sorrow;
We smile to-day and we weep tomorrow;
And. Fred there'n always be stormy weather
Where two are unequally yoked togetherW
AZ Well here's the case' said Fred with emotion;
tive given to Clara nv hearts devotion;
But she has no money, and, Uncle Harry,
You know 'twould be folly for us to marry!'
:. dont-know,' said the other, turning
His gaze toward the youth, "since the fire is burn
ing,
I've word of counsel to give you, which is,
Marry for love and work for riches"
-. But Grace. YOU see" said the anxious Freddy,
g Has nice little housekeeping fund already,
And will help along with a contribution
TO steer from the straits of restitution.
When money is scarce, and the wife is ailing,
tell you, uncle, it's not plain sailing;
And to bear up under Times changes and chances
Is easy, if easy our circumstances"
ssStop! stop!" with frown, said Snce Harry,
"The girl that you love is the girl to marryi
And if she's true, she'll not think it cruel
TO live for awhile ON water-grueL
She'll comfort you in the time of trial;
She'll whisper naught of her self-denial;
And cheerfuly take the needed stitches
Who marries for love, and not for richest
Don't think for moment, Fred, it's better
To bind the heart with golden fetter; -
Though many do 1t, yet many rue 1t, ',
And Love is q fearful witness to it
There isn't chance for pleasant weather
Where two are unequally yoked together;
So turn your back when money bewitches;
Marry for lOUe, and not for richest"

The Spaniard Named Lorenzo.

About 1865, as Houdin told the story,
a Spariard named Lorenzo lost in club
at Bordeaux the greater part of an i'm
mense fortune in an evening. He went
on, as gamblers will, throwing good
money after bad, until it suddenly struck
him that he was probably being done. ="
He felt conviction that the cards on
the table were biscaute-that is, beveled
or clipped. "Lorenzo drew from his
bosom keen-edged stiletto, and, at the
very moment when his adversary offered
the pack to him to cut. he. by sudden
blow, pinned to the table both the cards
and the hand which offered them Tt
turned out that his suspicion was well
founded, and this cruel but well-de-
served punishment was followed by a
complete restitution of the swindler's ILL
gotten gains. Saturdou Review.

The HunpariapS.

The Magyar population of Hungary,
according to the latest census, is 6, 1885,
O8S. This gives an increase in ten years
of only 1857. It includes, moreover,
over half the 5000 Jewish population
of the country, which is well known to
increase numerically with rapidity. Nor
has the loss by emigration been as large
proportionately as in Germany, which
nevertheless shows large Increase in
population. It is evident that the Mag.
var race is losing ground.

GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf: A sup

east Of Elkton. The house where
the unsu5stantial visitant appears
was occupied two Yeas ago by FAM
lily named Flood. Mrs. Flood died
suddenly and mysteriously several
days after having been hit on the
head by her husband, and the ghost
claims to be the spiritual self of the
dead woman, and that its mission is
to have Flood hung for her death.
Large crowds, says the Register, have
visited the house, but the ghost will
not make its appearance known when
any one besides he:family who occupy
the house are present.
