Friendly Kisses.

A young man in New Preston, Con-
necticut, in playing a kissing game the
other night, kissed one of the msidens 80
hard that he broke his false teeth.
Give me kisses, darlingl Let thin be
laid wild power on me lips-wid a report
like heavens tunder whips or the 'explo-
sion av the evenin' gun-och, let me
have thin that way, eVery-w
There is but one passage in the Bible
where the girls are commanded to kiss
the men. and that is the golden rule,
"Whatever that ye would thatmen should
do unto you do ye even so unto them" /"
The husband of a beautiful wife upon
returning home one day was met by one
of his offspring, all smiles, clapping his
hands, and saying: "Pa, Mr.. B. has
been here; he's such a nice man he
kissed us all around, and mother, too"
While Mary Anderson was playing in
st. Louis last week she was visited in the
Green Room by General Sherman. The
Generals kiss was heard as far back as
the 'steenth row, and being mistaken for
the pop of champagne cork, occasioned
much innocent merrimeht.

The Origin Of Jugs.

The origin of jugs dates back to anti
quity. Yet we have all discovered that
the jug, whose appearance is the most
antiquated, does not always belong to
that rather enigmatic period. The histo.
ry of "The Little Brown jug" is quite as
ancient as most people care to go back to
investigate. Lately there has been q
great breeze raised over a jug called
1.-THE Peachblow Vase" In artistic Cir.
cles, its sale for eighteen thousand dollars,
will mark an era. Yet to most people in
this world there are many things better,
'by jugful." The jug is most singu-
lar utensil. A pail, goblet or a jar may
be rinsed, and you can satisfy yourself
by optical proof that the thing is clean !;
but a Jug has little hole in the top and
the interior is all darkness. No eye
penetrates it, no eye can move over its
surface. You can clean it only by put.
ting water into it, shaking it up and
pouring it out. If the water comes out
clean, you judge you have succeeded in
purifying the jug. In this the jug is like
the human heart; no mortal eye can look
into the recesses, and you can only judge
of its purity by what comes out of it.

Stonewan Jackson's Courtesy.

When Harper's Ferry surrendered to
"Stonewall" Jackson in September, 1862,
General Jackson halted his horse in front
of the Ninth Vermont, and, taking of
his hat, solemnly said: "Boys, don't feel
bad; you could not help it; it was just
as God willed it." One Of Jackson's staff
asked :Colonel Stannard, of the Ninth
Vermont, if be had anything to drink"
Stannard courteously handed him his
flask, and the arrogant young Confeder-
ate captain poured out horn and mock
ingly said: "Colonel, here is to the
health of the Southern Confederacy."
Stannard answered, ITO ask and accept
a courtesy of a prisoner and then insult
him is an act that an honorable soldier
would scorn." Jackson turned on his
staff officer and gave him severe scold-
ing, saying the repetition of such an
insult to prisoner would cost him his
place. Then turning to Colonel Stannard
General Jackson apologized for the con-
duct of his officer, saying it was an
exceptional act of insolence on the part
of a young and reckless man and bow
ing gravely the famous Confederate cap
tain rode away. The fatalism OF Jackson
seemed eccentric, but it was part of his
religion TO treat captive soldier with
high. minded courtesy.-Portland Oregan-

a Good Story.

President Van Buren's son, familiarly
known as Prince John, was man Of
great natural ability, good lawyer and
ready wit. On one occasion he had
taken some technical legal advantage by
which his opponents client in all action
WAS non suited. Tho man was furious,
and declared his purpose to give John a
piece of his mind when he saw him; he
would wither him. Happening to see
John one day at Downing's, standing at
the bar, he boldly confronted the Prince,
and, being small man, looked up at
him fercely and burst out: "Mr Van
Buren,, is there any client 80 low and
mean, or any case so nasty, that you
won't undertake to defend him in it?'
II don't know" said John, stopping to
put away another oyster; then bending
down and confdcntially drawing out his
reply in the little mans ear: "What you
been doipg?"

The old Judges Second Marriage.

An old farmer of Shelby county, life.
long friend and admirer of the judge, met
him some time since on the road as he
was returning home from his law Office
in the city. The judge knowing his
friends proneness to talk out in meeting
when John Barleycorn was at the helm,
retreated into a portion Of the coach
occupied by number Of ladies, but the
old man followed him, and, standing in
the aisle, addressed the judge as follows
"Judge, I want to live 1000 years"
"What for 2" asked the judge.
"Well," said the old granger, II want
to vote for you for Governor of Tennes-
see every two years for 1000 years"
"But,S replied the judge, II do not
wish to live that long unless my wife can
be With me all the time"
The old man studied moment, and a
brightidea seemed to strike him by way
of compromise:
"Well, Judge" said he, "let's give the
old woman 1900 years: You'll want to
marry again, anyhow, you know."-Lou'

4. Surieiting on hot and very stimula-

not irritant poisons. -.
8. Allowing the love OF gain to absorb
our minds, so ss to leave no time to at
tend to our health; following an un.
healthy occupation, because money can
be made by it.
