kissing on the Stage.

Nobody on the stage" said an
old actress, who used to be a reign
ing star many years ago, neither
man nor woman, kisses from choice.
AT least I have never known it to be
so. It is not a pleasant operation,
no matter how much people like one
another. They are both covered
with paint, grease and powder, and
the contact of two faces, or even OF
the lips, is unusually unpleasant.
Amy sort Of an actor or actress, II
they.know anything Of their art, can
simulate kissing quite as effectively
as if the kiss were real. "-Pittsburg

The Working Editor and the Summer Girl.
| hear the splash of ocean and the murmur OF
the hills,
The rolling of the rivers and the music OF the
rills;
| hear the wood birds caroling their restless
roundelays,
l feel the lazy languor of the coming summer
days.
I read delicious notices of mountains and OF
sea,
Where summer time is such a time as summer
time should be:
long with weary usefulness to lay my labors
down,
And for the God-made country give up the
man-made town.
| hear q sweet, seductive invitation from them
all,
That beckons me, that welcomes me, that
tempts me to my fall
Yet l can daily at mydesk and quite contented
be,
If poets send no verses on the Summer Girl
to me.

Then he'd stand, %a-looking proud,
Thinkin, "Ain't he smart?'
Never noticing the crowd
