Kisses to GroM or.

She was only baby, but she held up
her sweet rcd lips, shut the bright ewes
and went the rounds from one member
OF the family TO the other, repeating the
phrase she had just heard from her Young
mothers lips,
"Three kisses, and one to grow on"
They caught her up, the darling, and
kissed and kissed her fair baby face,
pulled the soft curls, squeezed the dim
pied shoulders and followed her every
movement with wistful worshiping
eyes, until she came to the sour, disap,
pointed member of the family, whose
worlds were all hollow, and dolls stuffed
with sawdust. She tiptoed up to the
stern, bearded face, and put a fat, club
by little hand on each unyiclding knee.
Three kisses, and ono to grow on"
"What does all this tomfoolery meani'
inquired the grutf, grumpy voice,
Baby is three years old today said
the young mother, feeling how hard it is
to explain simple, foolish custom that
has no particular meaning, land so we
give her n kiss for each year and one to
grow on. But you needn't kiss her,
Uncle Ben, if you don't want to-"
What was it the old man saw in the
limpid eyes lifted to his2-a vision of the
green fields and still waters of paradise
or did some president knowledge possess
him, that he caught her up in his arms
as he had never done before, and kissed
her again and againa
"Not want to kiss herr" he said, in a
broken voice, "why, l should as soon
think of refusing to kiss an angel from
heaven. There! pet; there! and there
Now may you grow on this one even to
the heights of heaven-never short of
their standard, little one. That is the
I'D mans prayer"

Her age cannot tell,
For they reckon not by months and years
Where she has gone to dwell"
But l often wonder if we would not

Oh! great family of humanity, lead
all your weary, wandering ones up the

His coming and going worries
many piouS people, who believe that
he ls an cmissary of the devil, if
he be not the devil incarnate
himself, and to save their poor
souls they can't imagine what he
was ever made for. Despite their
orthodoxy they seem to forget or
to ignore the fact that the Lord
never made anything or anybody
in vain, or without a purpose
They can't see his utility. They
will lie abed o'nights and wrestle
with tleas, bed-bugs, mosquitoes,
and have occasional battles with
tarantulas, centipedes, etc, and re-
ligiously concede that they were
