ne STOLEN KISS.

Inc earth lay asleep meath its blanket OF
And crispy and cold was the clear win
ter nignt.
The winds were at rest in the depths OF
our dells;
And all that we heard was the sound of
orr bells;
Her checks were as red as the roses,
ween,
And deep in her bonnet they nestled m

And the ravishing eyes which my hear
did control,
A new sparkle ct with the kiss that |
ole.
The stars that looked down from the re-
gions OF blue
he secret have kept with faith that is
lrue,
And the trees have told not, and the lei
cled m,ls
i Have guarded that secret, along with
the hills:
| could not resist the temptation that lay
Within reach of my lips in the old fash
Toned sleigh;
And the matchmaking bells, with their
tinkle and roll,
Kept Dobbin from hearing the kiss that
| stole
l wonder, sometimes, as l sit in the
light
That streams from my CRATE, if she
thinks of that night
If ever the flakes, as they aimly fall,
Our ride from the tilt of the spoilers re-
call;
The rills that we crossed ripple down to
the sea,
The SHOWS have oft covered the witness
ing tree;
But, in spite of the years, in the depths
of my soul
feel the sweet thrill of 1.-THE kiss that l
stole.
The years may glide on to the end of my
days, ss1,>4
The flowers of life, one by one, fade
away; ~
But the jingle of bells and the laughter
of bliss
VIII keep in my mem'ry that winter
time kiss.
She may have forgotten, for maidens for

While Cupid, the fowler, is spreading
his net;
But Love has engraved on Memory's
scroll
The story that goes with the kiss that I
stole.

"And did you catch it?' prompted the
barber.
"Well, she wanted an explanation, and
of course | told her the usual story about
having to wait.
"'Well,' says she, you won't do no

her and keep peace in the family was to
let her try it once, SO the next Sunday l
submitted, telling her beforehand that
if she didn't give me clean shave and
no cuts, I wouldn't go to church. Well,
sir, she gave me as good a shave as ever

One of the most CHASTITY executions OF
the French revolution was that of the
Marquis de Marville. While standing on
the scaffold awaiting the completion OF the
preliminary arrangements, the marquis
addressed few words to the assemblage
Of people
He was proceeding to say that before he
died he wished to open their eyes to the
truth when he was seized by the execu-
toner and forced under the knife. With
the utmost sang froid the marquis contin-
uei. Educated as | was among privi-
legged class, 1 voluntarily abandoned my
friends to live among you, to earn my
daily bread side by side with you, and
have always acted like good patriot"
At this moment the knife fell. The gull
lotine was, however. in such constant req
uisition that it was frequently out of order.
Upon this occasion the knife fell, but did
not sever the vertebre, although the flesh
was horribly mangled. The executioner
and his assistants raised the knife anew.
As soon as they had done 80 the marquis,
still lying face downward, continued. 'As
was saying, fellow citizens, when was
interrupted And again the knife fell,
this time accomplishing its CHASTITY work.

PARENTAL AUTHORITY.
Its Proper Exercise Has Much TO Do With

Its Proper Exercise Has Much TO DO With
the Future Man OF Woman.
The most potent influence for the de-
struction Of moral char acter has been, with
out doubt, lawless self indulgence. Self in
diligence in maturity is the inevitable re-
suit Of parental indulgence in childhood.
The men and women Of influence, ut least
In this republic. h~st been those whose
moral fiber has en- tou .;Iened by absti-
nence and frug ty. Lincoln learned sell

1t is stern discipline like this that quick
ems the mind and stirs into vitality what
ever latent force the character may possess.
| Between all human beings there is II cease
| less strife for mastery. Sometimes it is an
| amicable conflict, but frequently it is VIC
| lent, stubborn and cruel. The latter quail
| ity does not manifest itself at first, but 1t
asserts itself with arrogance whenever
| rightful authority withdraws or weakly
| surrenders.
| Says Emerson: When a new boy comes
| into school, when man travels and en-
| counters strangers every day, or when into
| an old club newcomer is domestieated,
that happens which befalls when n strange
OK IL driven into Il pen where cattle are
| kept. There is at once u trial of strength
| between the best pair of horns and the new
conner, and it is settled thenceforth which
| is the leader" 1t might have been added
that the leadership thus achieved is seldom
or never relinquished.
There are many small pleasures that can
be permitted and requests that can be
granted without harm, but parents who
| yield to every wish, however foolish, are
| sowing to reap the whiriwind. The boy
who is permitted to lie in bed mornings

training Of an incompetent and sluggard-
The habit will pursue him through his
whole career, booming him to poverty and

That indulgence which palliates com
plants of food and clothing, which tolerates
brutal bursts of temper because all has not
been done that the selfish nature demanded
is certain schooling for a future bully and
tyrant, who will bring sorrow and misery
into every life that touches his own.
The exercise Of parental authority, though
the child resist with tears and pleading, is
as absolutely necessary to its symmetrical
moral development as are food and air and
light to its physical well being. Failure &c
guide and control in childhood opens the
way to failure and ruin later in life. That
which follows is not 'the visitation OF
Providence" but the certain penalty fol

How Women Who Have to Work For
Living Are Made to suffer.
Every woman who has special work OF

she will End her customers do not a. rule
keep their engagements to the letter, and
after having hertime and patience fhttered

The woman teacher has the advantage OF
working within set limits, but even she has
no such privileges of retiring from social
obligations as do men. What, not see me!
