There’s the kiss pressed on thelips onthezchildâ€" 01' lovers when parting at night; The kiss of mother our sorrows beguiled, Making the face cheery and bright; The kiss so silly of girls who meet. Who so blisslessly kiss in lieu: But the kiss that lasts sud makes life sweet Is the kiss of the wife that's true. Kisses in kinds as countless es sandsâ€" Of friendship, betrayal. deceit; The kiss on the eyes, the forehead and hands, The kiss that is awkward and nest; The kiss that’s given â€"the one we steal, The kiss that awakes us all throu h ' But the sweetest kiss that lips can. so Is the kiss of the wife that s true.

He has his arms round her; in be! ten- der, childish fashion she has laid her cheek against his; and now. with a slow move- ment, she turns her head until her lips reach his. “ I love you,” she whispers. Almost in a sigh the words are breathed, and a sense of raptureâ€"o! completionâ€" rendars the young men for the instant mute. Yet in her soul so well she knows of his content that she cares little to: any answer saye_that which his fond eyes give. A breath from the sleeprr g world of flow- ers below comes up to the balcony and bsthes the lovers in its sweets. The " wen- dering moon "looks down upon them and lights up the dark windows behind them till they looked like burnished silver. A deadly silence lies on grass and bough.

A quiver runs through the girl’s frame; a. grant wave of emotion sweeping over her face transfigures it, changing its calm to quick and living grief. The moonbeems, catching her, fold her in floods of palest glory, until he who watches her with re- morseful eyes can only liken her to a. fragile saint, as she stands there in her white, clingng draperies: _ " You are cruel." she say: at last with a low. gasping cry.

As a gentleman, a well-known public official. was passing from St. James’ Park into Pall Mall by the garden wall of Marl- borough House on Saturday, at a quarter to 5 in the afternoon. he suddenly received on the right shoulder a violent blow, accompanied by a loud crackling noise, which caused him great pain and to stumble forward as he walked. 0n recovering his footing, and turning round to see who had so unceremoniously struck him, he found that there was no one on the pavement but himself and the police- man on duty at the park and of it. On reaching home the shoulder was submitted to examination, but nothing was at first discovered to account for the pain in it. But in a little while the servant who had taken away the coat to brush brought it back to point out that over the right shoulder the nap was pressed down flat in along, straight line, exactly as if ahot wire had been sharply drawn across the cloth. The accident is therefore explained as having been caused by the explosion of aminute falling star or meteor.â€"London Times.

The Proper Thing In wedding Binge. In answer to a query. I write that the favorite engagement ring has asapphire and diamond, the two game representing faith and constancy, as it is supposed. A sapphire, beautilul as it may be in idea, is in reality a very unbecoming stone. If of the regulation depth of color, it does not light up wall, and a diamond or diamonds .are positively required to illuminate its Idark surface, but the blue determines its 1choice as the gift of virgin love. A ruby is too costly. save for the rich. and the stones that resemble it in hue are disliked in this association, though they will be wel- come gifts later on. No one thinks of buying an emerald or an opal for the “ engagement ring." and pearls are so easily injured they are rarely on " the list," but diamonds, always and ever within such addenda as the taste and pocket permit, suflice for the princess or the commoner. A diamond ring admits of great variation of design and style, as any connoisseur will admit, when the tempting array in a great jewel- lery establishment is under consideration. Beautiful rirgs on beautiful hands are one of those combinations which weak human- ity may be pardoned for adoring. The new bracelet so much were now is called udscha and is of Egyptian origin. It was worn more than three hundred years ago as a talisman by both men and women in Egypt. The udscha itself is a large coin covered with bieroglyphics in enamel or jewelled, and this is attached to a narrow metal, and which must never be removed from the wearer’s arm. Hence it was customary to wear it in youth or as long as the size of the arm would permit, above the elbow, asnear the arm-pit as possible. As the wearer grew, increased in muscle or fat, the udscha was slipped lower and lower until it descended to the wrist.-â€"Frpm Clara Bell's Letter.

Robert Bunleue’s Idea 01 the Pleasurel ; or Dumping. My boy, when you go out a-camping, ‘don’t “ rough it ” too much. Don’t go without tents. A camp without a tent is like an orchard without apples. And don't move into a hotel cottage and call it “camping.” That is about as much like camping as paying a dollar a pound and fishing in a stocked fish pond is like trout fishing. Take a tent, the army wall tent is the most comfortable, and enjoy yourself. The guide book will tell you, as it told us, that a tent is unnecessary; that “ the author and his friends have camped in the Adirondacks, sleeping in the open air every night. for," I forget whether it was three months or three years, and never felt a drop of rain. Well, maybe that is true. We:caught about five weeks of rain in the month of J une, but then this was an un- usually rainy June. You had better take a tent. There may be some more rare Junes where this one came from. But the great charm of the tent does not lie in its utility as an um- brella. It shows off to best advantage on a windy night. That is why I recommend the wall tent, rather than the I“A” or wedge tent. We have both varieties in our camp. but when the winds are borsterous the wall tent has a few fancy'eteps than the "A" tent can never hope to imitate. Night has fallen. On the other hand, the wind has gotten up. I retire to the cot that sags down like a watering trough to receive me, and the circus begins. I am not afraid that the tent will blow overâ€"it takes a terrific wind to capsiae a well pinned, neatly adjusted tent. but I don’t see why it can't stand still. I hear the wind waving among the trees. I look at the cot where the Prince is sleeping, and half wish I hadn’t brought him out into this land of furious storms. I lie down again. look at the swaying lantern and think I will get up and put it out. Suddenly the tent squats down likea balloon, and then before 1 can throw my arms over the Prince to keep the ridge pole from hitting him. the tent stands straight up three feet higher than its best standing record. Another roaring tempest through the trees; the four sides of the tent bulge out until it is as a Sibley tent ; then it collapses and sucks in until there is hardly room inside for the lantern. Then three sides stiffen up like sheet iron, while the fourth flaps itself mad for no particular rea- son. The tentrquats again, and when it stands up this time, the fly begins to flap and pound over your head. faster than you can think, with the roll of a muflisd drum, varied now and then by a crack like the shot of a gun. A moment’s lull. suddenly the winds seem to be rending the forests. and both tent poles. fore and aft. are seized with delirium tremens, and shiver and shake and tremble in oscillating spasms. while the walls dance up and down. flutter. bulge, collapse and stretch.and the frantic fly, " as fast as mill wheels strike," smites the top of the tent in furious, loud sound- ing whacks, that make the very lantern burn blue with fear; the moaning of the wind in the woods raises to a shriek; under the impression that the whole mountain is flowing away, I spring to my feet, rush to the tent door, tear it open. The bluest skies, the brightest stars, the loveliest night in all this land greets me with the blessing of peace. The night wind is singing softly in the gently swaying tree tops, the lullaby of the summer night. a liquid wisper ; the very undertone of the zapnyr, scarce so loud as the purling mur- mur of the drowsy little brook, crowing itself to sleep in the starlight. That is all. But why should it sound so like Bedlam inside the tent? That’s what I want to knowâ€"Brooklyn Eagle.

From a poor man’s point of view a hospital is replete with every comfort, and an instance of this came before the writer's notice a week ago' when a woman, on being told by the house-surgeon of a hospital that she must “ come in.” exclaimed. " Now I am going to live like a lady i" This was not the woman's first experience of the comforts and discomforts of a hospital, and therefore her feelings may be taken as a tyre of those of the poor in general. " But," the richer classes will argue, " I shall never be in such a position as to require the aid of a hospital, as I have my own doctor to attend me ifIam ill." Facts are better than arguments to contradict this state- ment. and if the man who talks thus will cast his eye down the pages of the large calf-bound volume kept in the out- patient surgery of all the hospitals. and in which a description of all cases treated by the surgeons is recorded. he will find many a broken limb or fractured collarbone. and some cases. too, of a much serious nature, in which the sufferer hae‘ been found to be a wealthy man going to or returning from his business, who has been brought in senseless by the police and placed in one of the wards, wherehe has been carefully tended by the nurses and surgeons until his friends could arrange for his return home. Many instances of this nature might be quoted, but one will snfiice. A gentleman was stepping on to one of the penny steam- boats which ply up and down the Thames, and, owing to a lamb of the vessel. slipped and his foot was crushed between the boat and the pier. He at once fainted from the pain, and was carried to the nearest hospital and put into one of the wards. where his foot was dressed. Owing to the nature of the injury, and the shock to his system. he was unable to he moved for some days. and on leaving he told the house-surgeon that hehad up to that time no conception of the comforts of a hospital, and that after his stay he should never forget Hospital Sunday again.â€"Lor.don (Eng) Banner.

The day is very recent when the talk at s locomotive making a mile a minute was received with a. due amount of doubt, being almost universally dishelieved. To-dsy, however, sixty miles an hour is not the limit. and locomotive builders new essay to increase the speed from ten to filtsen miles above that figure. The latest novelty in this line is s locomotive designed by M. Estrada. I graduate of L‘Eccle Polytechnique. which is to be experimented with on the southern lines of France. M.

The merchant in question. having heard at the arrival of a country trader who was known to be a large purchaser and of unquestionable credit. was resolved to get him to visit his establishment. and. once there. he felt sure he could stoure him as a customer. He accordingly sent out one of his drummers, of whom he had quite a number. adapted to every taste and die osition. The one sent,however. returns without success. No. 2 was dispatched, with no better result. and again No. 3. and so on until all had gone and come back without their man. The merchant then went himself, and finding that brandy and water and urea tickets to the theatre were of no avail. 1(or the country trader did not take one or go to the other. he was reduced to the necessity of employing a ruse. which, as the sequel shows. was simple as well as effectual. 01: taking his departure alter a pleasant interview the merchant took care to commit the “mistake” of taking the trader’s hat instead of his own. Next morning. as was expected. the merchant received a prompt visit at his store from the country trader. who came to look up the hat which he supposed had been hur- riedly exchanged. This was what the mer- chant wanted' and through this means sold agood hill of goods and secured a regular .customer. 61:23.93» “6812: now in tile mail-in} for lore and lnflamed oyes,woaknua of light. and annula- tion of the Hell.
