THE KISS AFTER MARRIAGE.
A story is told of wife who was
scolding her husband because he had
found fault with certain conduct
of their daughter. The old gentleman
lost all patience, finally.
Now, see here, old wOman," said he
kindly. but firmly. ''if you don't hush
your nonsense and dry up I'll tell Ma
tilda's beauX not to be caught swinging
on the gate with her at night, ana FIJI
tell EN- why.'
"You will, hey?"
"Yes, will; because when | was
a counting young man was swinging
on the gate with young woman, one
night, and Sam Soloman happened to
pass by just as she gave ME a good
night kiss"
She commenced feeling around for
something.
1T was the most unlucky kiss | ever
got, for Sam gave up trying after that,
and as soon as he got out OF the way 1t
was me or nobody"
1t was lucky he got over the fence and
around the corner as quick as he did or
the surgeon wouldn't have had such an
easy job of it.
You will find. my dear boy, that the dearly
priced kiss
Which with "a pture you Snatched from The
half willing miss,
Is sweeter by far than the legalized kisses
You give the same girl when you have made
her Mrs.
1t might be well to memoriZe one or
two proverbs on this subject: ''To kiss
a mans wife, or wipe his knife, is but q
thankless ofiice.'' "He that kisseth his
wife in the market-place shall have
enough to teach him."
Finally. there is the stolen kiss. The
bold lover says:
Kiss her gently, but be sly
Kiss her when there's no one by,
Steal your kiss, for then it's meetest,
Stolen kisses are the sweetest.
The more backward swain argues the
| matter to himself:
If ! should steal little kiss,
Oh would she weep. / wonder?
] tremble at the thought of bliss
| If / sho0ld steal a little kiss;
| Such pouting lips would never miss
The dainty bit of plumber:
| If ] should steal Il little kiss,
| Oh! would she weep, l wonder?
lie longs to steal a kiss of mine
| lie may, if he'll return it!
| If can read the tender sign,
| He longs TO steal q kiss of mine:
| I'm love and war'-you know the line.
| Why can not he discern it?
| He longs to steal a kiss Of mine,
| He may, if he'll return it.
| And the man of observation has given
| his experience in the matter:
| Beneath shady tree they sat:
lie held her hand, she held his net,
| held my breath and lay right fiat
They Kissed saw them do it.
lie held that kissing was no crime;
She held her head up every time
/ held my peace and wrote this rhyme,
While they thought no one knew it.
The prudent Scotch girl has expressed
the views of many of her sex in regard,
| not TO the improperly Of kissing, but
| kissing 'before folk:'
Behave yourself before folk,
| And dinna be sac rude TO me,
As kiss me sac before folk.
It's no through hatred o. kiss,
| That ] sac plainly tell you this,
| But, ali! TAX il sac amiss
To be sac leased before felix.
Behave yourself before folk,
When we're alone, We may tax one,
Bnt nent 4 ane before folk.
