The Genuine Tar-Heel Kiss.

: Up the perfume-swept avenue of love
and under the roseate archway of Hymen
they had passed into the .joy-lit realms Of
that higher and holier existence where soul
meets soul on limpid waves of ecstatic
feeling, and hearts touch hearts through
the blended channel of lips in rapture link
ed. They had just been made man and
wife, and their souls must meet and "swap
p swap" of labial endearment. And now,
how can we describe the osculatory per-
formance? 1t was not spasmodic kiss,
like stopper flying out of champagne
bottle; OF suctionary kiss, like cow pull
ing her foot out of the mire; neither was it
one of those long, lingering, languishing
kisses, which lovers give when hid by
clustering vines from the glance of the
moonbeams. No, none of these; but it
was, to be alliterative, kind of sloush-
wise, slanting dicular, soup -supping, sop
slipping meeting of the lips, which went
for the whole hog of endearment or none;
and that is the way two hearts began to
beat as one.

BACK AGAIN.

The chill SHOWS fingered, and the spring was
late,
1t seemed weariful while to wait
For warmth. and fragrance, and song, and
flowers,
And balmy airs and delicious showers.
But we bided our time, and with patient eyes
We watched the slow relenting skies,
Till at last one April morn we woke
To find we were free OF the winters yoke.
And rush OF wings through the rushing rain
Told us the birds were back again,
A joyous tumult was heard aloft-
Clear, ripping music and fiuttering soft.
So light of heart and so light of wing,
All hope of summer, delight of spring.
They seemed to utter with voices sweet,
Upborne On their airy pinions fleet.
Dainty, delicate, lovely things!
Would that my thoughts, like you, had wings
To match your grace, your charm. your cheer,
Your fine, melodious atmosphere!
Precious and beautiful gifts of God,
Scattered through heaven and earth abroad!
Who ungrateful, would do you wrong,
Check your flight and your golden song?
o friendly spirits! o sweet, sweet birds!
Would could put my welcome into words
Fit for such singers as you to ear,
Sky-born minstrels and poets dear!

Kidney Diseases.

Kidney Diseases.
Few people are aware of the alarming preva-
lence of kidney diseases, especially among
those who have arrived at, or are past, middle
age. tits declared on good authority that fully
one-half the deaths in this country are
either directly or indirectly the result of kid
ney disease of some sort
A great majority of men above forty years of
age, are afflicted with some sort of affection Of
the kidneys or bladder and these diseases are
on the increase. Persons are often seriously az
fected before they know of it themselves. and
thus tt ese insidious disorders get good foot
hold before anything is done to dislodge them.
Dropsy, Gravel, Diabetes, Brights Disease.
Incontinence. Debility. Catarrh of the Bladder,
Albumenuria, etc., are among the many forms
.ofthese diseases. Most of these are difficult to
cure. defying the powers oftentimes of the best
physicians obtainable, and are pronounced by
many to be incurable.
Physicians state that many forms of Kidney
Disease are very difficult to detect. as in dis
eases of this form, oftentimes there are no
symptoms of a marked nature. This is one of
the reasons why they are SO difficult to cure.

Wise Words to Young Men.
[Pittsburg Chronicle.

Many young men applying for employ
ment are greatly discouraged to find so few
vacancies, SO many applicants, and such
small wages offered. They know of per-
sons of their own age who have work and
who are we'll paid, and they are led to &C
cuse fate of dealing harshly with themselves,
and sometimes in fits of depression, sink in
vicious ways. These young men will dis
cover that those who are employed had
much trouble too at the outset to secure a
place, that they went in on small wages
and that they have secured at last better
pay by diligence, fidelity, and proved use
fulness. 1t is the first step which costs,
says the French sage. Instead of being
discouraged, let the youth who means to
find work, keep trying; let him be content
with the barest living wages at the begin
ming, let him realize that the main matter
is to effect a lodgment so as to become ac-
quainted with those who employ people,
and then let him resolve by useful discharge
of duties to bring about increased pay
Many youngsters sneer at twenty dollars a
month and find the road to perdition in this
sneer. 1t would be better to get place
and work for no wages at all, trusting to
friendly offices for food and shelter for a
while, than to drift around with no en-
ployment. 1t is wonderful and it is cheer
ing what headway an amiable, industrious
and honorable young man can make in the
confidence of all by single months de-
pertinent and conduct in any business
How soon he will make substantial
friends. How soon he will have cash in his
pocket. How full of rational promise the
future. Don't stand outside the show win
dow. Get in on any terms, and then by
true manhood and with reliance On Supreme
Power, you will have all the advantages
that youth, health and resolution, require.
Brace up; the battle is not even fought yet,
much less lost.

POETRY.
THE LIFE OF LOVE.

Oh, love so long as thou canst love-
So long, o love, as life may last:
The hour will come, the hour will come
When o'er the grave thou'lt mourn the past
And take thou heed that thy heart glow.
That thy love flourish and endure
So long as other faithful heart
To 1t responds both warm and sure.
And he who opes his heart 10 thee.
Oh, love him for loves sake alone!
Make bright for him each darksome hour
And cause him not one bitter groan.
Guard well thy lips. How sh rp the blow
On loving hearts by careless word.
God knows it was not meant TO wound,
Yet twilight hours sad moan have heard.
Then kneel thou lowIy at his tomb
And hide the sad wet eyes. Alas!
Thy dear one never moves from out
The long damp church yard grass.
Then cry: "Oh, dear one, look on me.
Who here at thy low grave do weep;
Forgive the pang I caused thee, dear,
Oh, God that word should wound SO deep p
Sightless he lies; he b ears thee Lot,
He comes not at thy voice of woe,
The lips which thou SO oft has kissed
Say not, Forgiven long ago."
He did forgive thee long ago,
But down his face the hot tears rained
For thee and for the harsh words sake
Yet. hush he rests-the goal attained.
oh, love SO long as thou canst love-
So long, . love, as life may last;
The hour will come. the hour will come,
When o'er the grave thou'lt mourn the past.

REMEDY FOR Poison IvY-Dr. s. A.
Brown, United States Navy, states in the
Medical Record that he has found specif-
ic to the troublesome eruption produced by
the poison oak or poison ivy 50 common in
our woods and along old fences. This
specific he finds in bromine, which he has
used with unvarying success in at least 40
cases. He uses the drug dissolved in olive
oil, cosmetic or glycerine in the strength of
from ten to twenty drops of bromine to the
ounce of oil, and rubs the mixture gently
on the affected parts three or four times
day. The bromine is so volatile that the
solution should be renewed every twenty
four hours The eruption never extends
after the first thorough application, and it
promptly disappears within twenty-four
hours if the application is persisted in.-

To PRESERVE FRESH BUTTEE.-Melt it
in well glazed earthen pan, set in a
water bath not exceeding 1870 degrees
Fahr., and keep it heated, skimming from
time to time, until it becomes quite trans
parent; then pour off the clean portion in
to another vessel; and cool it as quickly as
possible, by placing the vessel in very cold
water or ice. This is the method employed
by the Tartars who supply the CONSTANT
nople market. In this state it may be per-
fectly preserved for 6 or 0 months, if kept
in close vessel and cool place.
