HOW, WHOM, WHEN TO KISS.

And now even kissing is being re-
duced to science! Once upon a time
when people wanted to kiss they just
kissed and that was all the fuss there
was about it. Now all this is chang
ed. The woman who wants to be
absolutely "correct" in kissing, rs she
is in the selection of her hats or gowns,
stockings or petticoats, mast kiss ac-
cording to rule.
cit is no longer good form,' we are
assured by one of these newfedged
authorities on polite osculation, 'to
kiss even your dearest friend on the
lips. That kiss is sacred to lovers
and to husbands and wives. In polite
society the kiss upon each cheek is
now the accepted form of greeting be-
tween friends, and relatives. When
women are about the same age either
one may offer the caress, but between
a young woman and ar older woman
the younger must always proffer her
lips and the older will gracefully turn
her cheek to receive the kiss. Then,
if the older woman desires to be ex-
ceedingly gracious, she may in turn
kiss the younger, bat there ls no dis
courtesy if she turns the other check
and becomes the recipient of the second
kiss.
''Under no circumstances must the
younger woman turn her check for the
first kiss. This is a pretty little act
Of Difference on her part but to force
her senior to give her the kiss is dis
tinct rudeness. The well-bred woman
is always cordial but never elusive in
her caresses. She is also chary of
them. Promiscuous kissing is in bad
taste. OF course, to kiss even ones
nearest relative in the street is not
permissible. A woman who is the
possessor Of self-respect and dignity
will take care that her kisses are not
meaningless.
"There are several reasons why the
kiss upon the lips has become obsolete,
the principal one being that it is un-
hygienic. Especially is it bad for chill
dren to be kissed upon the lips by their
elders. Mothers who study health
never kiss their own children in this
way, and are careful that the nurse
does not thus shcw her love for her
little charge. Kisses may be pressed
upon child's cheek, brow, eyes, chin
or neck, but never on the mouth.
A hurried kiss is almost an insult.
Some women put of the goodbye kiss
until the last moment, and then give
peck on the cheek. The proper way
to give kiss is to press your lips
lightly, but firmly against the cheek
and let them rest there for an instant.
There must not be anything sugges-
tive of "smack."

CHAPTER XVI.
VOYAGE TO NEW ORLEANS.

Breakfast being ended, we were walk
ing the deck on the morning of the
oath, to indulge, as usual, the spirit of
grumbling which had of late sprung
up among us, when cry of "a fleet in
the ofling," suddenly turned our attcn-
tion to other subjects. For while
little could he seen, except an indis-
tinct line in the horizon. in which none
of us were sufficiently imaginative to
discover the smallest resemblance to a
feet. But the line began, 10y degrees,
to change its appearance; it became
broken into detached spots; by and by
these spots began to assume distinct
shapes; and at last the masts and sails
of vessels could be distinguished. We
rent the air with shouts rs soon as the
truth burst fully upon us; and our joy
exceeded all bounds, when, towards
noon, a magnificent squadron Of ships,
Of all classes and dimensions, steered
into the bay. They contained the
long looked for reinforcelnents, amount
ing in all to upwards Of two thousand
men; and, above all, there accom-
panied them a new general to command
us. Now, then, were hope and good
I'm, III ,l-c.
and now we looked forward with conf
q, ,nce to Il speedy restoration Of that
active career, the abandonment of
which had SO long and so severely
CALLED us.
One day only, besides the evening
of that on which Gen kranc arrived,
having been devoted to the adju>t tment
Of l few necessary prcliminaries, the
signal for sailing was hung out; anil at
an early hour on tie morning of the
2Gih. the wh"l. fleet put to sea For
some holrs, or pru-r,S~ WAS tar'ly.
There WAS :, deal calm from SUNRISE
till noon; and from noon until two or
three o'clock, the light breeze that
blew was against us; but towards
evening, the lan1-winds began to exert
their influence, and long before dark,
all trace of Jamaica disappeared.
Away. then, we bounded, with Il blue
and cloudless sky overhead, and one
wide waste of ocean around us; and
meeting with no accident. nor any
squalls or adverse gales to dctain us,
we soon began to feel, that our distance
from the tropics was increasing. The
climate became 10y degrees more and
keep the deck, unscrecned by an avn
ing, at midday; and at last the shelter
Of Il cloak, when exposed to the night
air, became highly agreeable. Cur
spirits rose with these changes in our
circumstances. We resumed our form
cr occupations OF proncnading, eating,
drinking and reading, with fresh spirit,
and we introduced moral source of
amusement before long into our little
circle My friend Charlton happened
to he an amateur IN music; he had
provided himself with violin before
the regiment quilted France; and now,
for the first time, was it brought into
general use. Every evening, after
coffee, the cabin floor was cleared, and
about ten of us danced to his music

The Irish peasant is still, thank hca-
ven, what Sir Walter Scott called him
after the visit of the great novelist to
Ireland in the early thirtics-he is still
:'the gayest fellow in the world under
difficulties and Affections" He has Il
cheerful way of regarding circum-
stances which to others would be most
unpleasant and aishcartening. A peas
ant met with an accident which re-
suited in broken leg. The neighbors
of course commiserated him. "Arrah," !"
he remarked, with gleam of satisfac-
ton in his eye as he regarded the
bandaged limb, "what blessing it is
that it wasn't me neck"
Yes, the irrepressible Irishman has
Joke for every occasion. Two coun-
trymen who had not seen each other

had lot of things to tell each other.
"Shurc, it's married l am,' said
O'Brien. You don't tell me SOL
said Blake Faith, yes" said o O'Brien,
IAN I've get fine 5hoy which the
neighbors say is the very picter of me. ,
Blake looked for moment at 0 Brien,
who was not, to say the least, remark
able for his good looks, and then said,
"Och, well, what's the harrum so long
as the child's healthy?" And yet a
peasant to whom a witticism thus
spontaneously springs may be very
simple minded.
The peasants passion for rhetoric
still induces them to commit to men,

often misapply, will the most amusing
and yrotesquc results. ! heard

equipped as sportsmen. Our powder,
taken from his majesty's stores, might
have passed, in the eyes of Norfolk
gamc-kecpcr, for small shot; whilst in
lieu of small shot. we carried, each Of
us a paper of slugs; yet, even with
these rude instruments, we contrived
before dark no trlhing quantity Of birds
for which, indeed the stupidity of the
birds themselves was more to be
thanked, than our skill. OF the wood
pigeon, we found immense covies, which
sitting down upon few fir trees that
grew at the other side of the island,
permitted us to approach under the
very branches, and even when we fired,
wonld hardly shift their quarters for
moment. Those which were not killed
barely rose at tn" report. wheeled a
few times around their roosts, and ac
tually came back again to the very
spot. Had our shot been somewhat
smaller, we might have killed enough
to furnish the whole regiment with a
meal; as it Was we brought back about
three dozen Of birds to the camp.
But the satisfaction arising from the
consciousness that we had thus amply
provided against the cravings of hun
ger, was not sufficient to console us un-
der the misery of a night of incessant
and tremendous rain. It appeared to
me, whilst was lying upon the sand,
exposed to this pelting shower, that: till
that moment,I had never known what
rain, real genuine rain, was. My cloak af-
forded no protection against it; in less
than half an hour from the period of
it's commencement, | was as if [ had
been dragged at the stern Of one of the
boats. all across the lake. And then
it was that the absence of all tolerable
fires was most severely felt. What
were few halfkindled sticks, sputting
and smouldering upon bare beach,
under such circumstances. We crept
around them, it is true, and held our
hands by turns over the feeble embers,
till Tie points of our fingers became
half.baked; but the influence of the
baking extended not beyond the fing-
ers,-our bodies were chilled in perfec-
tion In word, | do not recollect, in
the whole course of my military career,
to have suffered so much from cold or
damp in any night, as | suffered in
this night of the 18th of December.
How the bulk of the unfortunate black
troops, of whom two battalions had
joined US at Nigril Bay, stood it out, l
know not. But this do know, that
the first rumor which reached us on
the morning of the 18th was, that
numbers of them had fallen asleep be-
side their fires and expired.

THE GENTLEMAN?

BY MAMIE POWER O'DONOUGHUE.
What is gentlem M Is it thing?
Decked in a scarf pin chain and ring.
Dressed in suit of Immaculate style
Sporting an eyeglass, lisp and a smile,
Talking of o. Ieras, Concerts and Balls,
Evening assemblies and afternoon calls,
Stunning himself at ''at homes" and baZaars,
Whisting Mazurkas and smoking cigars.
What is gentleman? Say is it one?
Boosting of conquests and deeds he has done;
One who unblushing'y glories to speak
Things which should call up a blush to the cheek
One who while railing on actions unjust
Robs some young heart of its pureness an trust,
Scorns to steal money or jewels or wealth
Yet he states no. to take honor by stealth.
What is gentlemi Is it not one?
Working out all that is rightly begun,
Living consistently, fearing his God,
Leaving stain on the path he has trod,
Caring not whether his coat may be old
Prizing sincerity far above gold.
Reck ming not whether his may be hard
Stretching it boldly to grasp its reward.
What is gentleman? Say is it birth?
Makes man noble or adds to his worth
Is there family tree to be had
Shady enough to conceal what is bad
Seek out man who had God for his guide
Nothing to blush for and nothing to hide.
Be he noble, or be he a trade
He is gentleman nature has made.

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE

To be cured of catarrh ? If you or
your friends have this disease, you
know how disagreeable it is. Its symp-
toms are inflamed eyes, throbbing tenn
pies, ringing noises in the ears, head
aches, capricious appetite, and con-
slant discharge of mucus. Fortunate
ly its cure is not question of what
you will give, but what you will take.
If you will take Hoods Sarsaparilla,
the great constitutional remedy, which
thoroughly purifies, enriches and vital
ICES the blood, you may expect to be
completely and permanently cured.
The good blood which Hoods Sarsa-
parilla makes, reaching the delicate
passages of the mucous membrane,
soothcs and rebuilds the tissues and
ultimately cures all symptoms of ca
tarrh.
"You must not do that" she said,
somewhat nervOusly.
"Do what?" was the innocent query.
"Put your arm around my waist"
"Why not?"

kill mel"
"No; l suppose not; but he would
try to borrow some money from you,
and l have lost two chances already
by his doing that"
