THE KISSABLE WOMAN.

ton, character-One and all have seem
ingly nothing to do with Der charm.
All you are conscious of in her pres.
ence is the desire to take her in your
arms and kiss her. She may be abso-
lutely devoid of personal beauty, and
not young, and yet nine men and a
half and seven women out of each ten
will want to kiss her if they are in her
presence five minutes. Sometimes she
is good and kind and unselfish, and
possessed of beauty; and then she is al
ways breaking hearts without mean.
ing to do so, and winning love she can.
not return, and mourning criticism she
does not deserve.
She sees more beautiful women Civ
ing more encouragement to men than
she gives, and indulging in far more
desperate tlirtations without caus-
ing any such disaster as she causes by
one kind, sweet smile; and she cannot
understand it all, at least not until she
has had all sorts of trouble out of it.
But the fact is, that the men who are
quite hardened to firtations with the
merely beautiful women, lose their
heads in an insane desire to
seize the kissable girl in their arms.
Women who do not possess this charm,
and who play bold game of Irritation
without mourning any such risks and
dangers, find it impossible to explain
the effect of the kissable girl upon her
admirers. They think she must be
very deep and adroit siren at heart,
while, in fact, she is often frankness
personifed. She is inclined to become
somewhat selfish. however, as time
passes in her love of admiration, and
to take as her natural right more love
than belongs to her. But she is never
malicious or Intentionally unkind. She
feels sorry for her lovers after she has
won them, and she never wounds an
other woman if she can help it without
too great sacrifice of the love and de-
votion which is her native element.
She is full of love herself, and her
friendships are inclined to be as ardent
as the loves of the handsome" woman.
Her rejected lovers become her friends
almost always, and her husband wor-
ships her and finds her a better wife
than she was sweetheart. # she mar
ries man strong and tactful enough
to keep her entire heart she becomes a
great favorite with her own sex, for
women have always been inclined to
adore her when they were not jealous
of her influence over men.-Cleveland

A Rare Plant.

A year or two ago there were, among
the boarders at mountain summer
hotel a celebrated botanist and a GER
tain pretentious rich woman, who liked
to make it appear to the guests that
she was very well informed on all SUBJ
iects. The rich woman affected to take
an interest in the researches of the
botanist amongst the fora of the
mountains

ers around here?"

and then blurted out:
''Great shakes. but you don't claim

DID BOTH OVERHEAR IT?
Whispers in Church That Brought
About q Reconciliation.

It was nearly service time on Sunday
morning. and the church bells were
tolling their CHEEKY welcome on the
frosty air. Pious souls, clad in furs
and velvetS and other forms of modern
purple and fine linen, were hurrying
to reach the scenes of their devotions.
Foster Willard was not n pious soul,
and he did not hurry. He was not
sure shat he was going to church at all,
and he sauntered leisurely along, with
his hands in his overcoat pockets and
his big collar turned high around his
throat.
What a world it was, to be sure, and
what a fool-but, pshaw!-that was all
over now, and he was glad of it
At this moment he became aware of

with gesture that bespoke EN- barrass-
ment and uncertainty, and he took it
gravely.

BEAT YOUR DAD.

SAID Adam unto Seth. his son:
y My boy, the world has just begun,
The late unpleasantness with Cain
Gave Eve and me unmingled pain,
And that misfortune with the snake
Was a most bitter pill to take;
But still, my son. the world Is new.
And there IL work enough for sou.
Go in to win, my trusty lad,
Go in and try to beat your dad"
Said Seth to Enos his firstborn:
81 Your young life now IS in its morn,
You've scarcely passed from toyhood'S
stage
You're but four hundred years OF age.
I've struggled on with hopes and fears,
And lived good five hundred years;
And now feel that there can be
But a few centuries more for me.
My life, careless summer day,
In idle dreams has passed away;
But you, upon lifes threshold glad
Go in to win and beat your dad"
Said Enos unto Cainan: boy,
My eldest born, my greatest joy.
Your gifts have surely not been hid,
You are most precociOus kid;
wonder how head so small
As yours is now, can know it all
My form is bent, my head is gray,
I've done but little in my day;
How like feeting mist appears
My short life of nine hundred yearsi
My plans were many meath the sun,
But all my work is left undone;
But you. my boy. be brave and glad.

But though our life's deformed by scars.

Yes, Jared, boy, be strong and glad,
Go in to win, and beat your dad
And Jared when his life was done,
The same to Enoch talked his son
And Enoch, like a faithful pa,
The same to young Methuselah.
This he to Lsmech tells once moro.
And Lamech tells the same to Noah;
And then the flood came on to rout
And drown the whole creation out.
The world had grown corrupt and bad,
With each man better than his dad.
The world to-day they say is bad
But each man tries to beat his dad;
And though the clouds Of night draw nigh,
And shut the sun from out the sky.
And though life marches through the gloom
To music OF the steps Of doom,
This voice comes through the darkness far,
And smites the cloud-rack like q star,
Exultant, hopeful, fearless, glad:
