CANDOR C051PkLB THE STATEMENT THAT A MAJORITY OF THEM VOTED AYE. THEY BAY IT'S RAD FORM. tS, -- Sores day somebody wi11 write an essay or peradventure lecture on "The Rise and Fall of the Kiss." Of late, kissing has fallen into a state of doauetude. It was not always thus, as a glance at the poets, ancient and modern, will show. The fact of the matter is, it is not good form to• kiss any more. The bridal kiss was tabooed long ago, much against ministerial protest, and weddings are as uuoseulatory as funerals. At receptions, at homes, carpet parties, and kettle- drums, where the kiss of peace went round, ane has to be content- ed with a little hand -clasp, in which a pair of kid gloves inter- vene as a sort of non-conductor to the tremulous, vibratory touch that thrills and awes and is so. full of meaning to the student. The medical profession is credit- ed with the decline of the practice, and it is said there is ample evi- dence in its literature to prove that protniscuous kissing is an admir- able means of spreading disease. A kiss is a noun, but beyond saying this there is a remarkable ' lack of unanimity in defining the little word. Philosophers . have .called it the soul of affection, the stamp of love, the door that opens the citadel of the heart, love's artil- lery, contact ecstatic, or the wild leaping flame of love's enthusiasm. I)e L'euclos defined a kiss as "an alms which enriches hien who receives without impoverishing her who gives," Opitz called -kisses . the messenger of love." and to the w•el,-trained lips of Rousseau kisses . worn "electric. transcenda'lt, and enervating." Byron• found "each ki::4 a heart quake," "reckoned its strength by its length' and wished "that womankind had but one •Io,y month, to kiss them all from north to south." Othello considered it "au excellent courtesy" ,to be well kissed, but he• must have been an insatiable 'monster, for Desdemona said "he kissed hard," as if he pl (Lod up kisses by the roots that t:n her lips.

To Godwin th :e w s "rapture in . the kiss of honest love," but all other kisses "were Judas' children." "The kiss u•' a virtuous woman was sweet- er than honey" to Dodsley, and "like the perfume of Arabia" to Addison. Walter Savage Landor's delight was L.) kits the eyelashes of love, and ( banes Lamb know only "the tasteless kiss of unreasoning lips." Dover., in his analysis of kisses, wrote :—"It• is the passion in a kies that gives it its sweetness and affection that sanctifies it." Swift despieod responsive kisses, and would not kiss again a girl who claimed copartnership in the lip exercise. Litus was another anti- quariu i who ,toted ou one-sided kissesand "submissive lips," Petrarch had a wonderful endur- ance, and gave Laura a standing invitation to "kits hits forever with eyes so blue and true hands like the leaf of a rose and lips of nectar breat11." •1 Elizabeth Burrett Browning "wore a troth'kiss on her Hp she could not give away." Joaquin Miller had little taste for the vulgar Hp atheletir, and allows his heroes to kiss a girl any place but ou the mouth. In his "Isles of the Amazon" the Sierra poet sings :— "I kiss your eyes; I kiss your hair iu my delight ; I kiss my hand, and say good -night." Howells' young men kissed their best girl on the temple ; James has thein fold the girl to their lapel, but says nothing about osculation, and in her "First Love" Gail Ham- ilton omits even the folding opera- tion. The author of "Queen Money" makes her characters anti -kissers, and Blanche Willis in "One Summer" has but a single "tt'eiub- iug little kiss" deposited on both eyelids of the big man. Tennyson and his cousin Amy used to sit on the beach "watching the stately ships," and their "spirits rushed together at the touching of the lip." Another time be voices a heroine's "bream delirium" in this red-hot fashion :-- "0 —"O love, 0 fire !once lie drew With one long kiss my whole soul thrnngh my lips, As suushiue drinketh dew." Henry V. could not kiss unless he was in the humor ; Aspasia in- dulged in "hot and constant k isses;" Princess Josephine "would be awak- ened with warm kisses ;" and Ella Wheeler Wilcox simply asks for "dewy -lies to kiss her eyes to sleep" after exhausting herself in "long ' boiling kisses" that seem "drawing her soul through her senses." In "Lesbia" John G. Saxe show- ed- anj ownidorous appetite for kisses whon he wrote:— "Give me kisses 1 No',tis true I am just as rich as you, And for every kiss I owe I can pay you back, you know, "Kiss me then. Every rnonlent and again." Anthea couldn't have had any lips loft if Herrick got all he want- ed. Iu his apostrophe to her he wrote : "Give n o a kiss, and to that kiss a score ; Then to that twenty add an hundred more ; A thousand to that hundred ; so kiss M I LBURN'S AROMATIC QUIN- INE WINE is distinctly superior to any other as an appetizing tonic and fortifier —Keith Bowen (colored), of Abe:deep, Miss., entered the bed- room of a young white wouuul Mon- day :limning and attempted to assault her.

And all Diseases of the Throat and Lungs can be cured by the use of Scott's Emulsion, as it contains the healing virtues of Cod Liver Oil and Ilypophospbites in their fullest lornr. See what W.S.

Bon Johnson begged rho lovely Celia to "Leave a kiss but in tltc cup And he'd not look for wine." Whenever tho "Maid of Athens," took a drink a hobbledehoy wanted to "sip it from her lip." Bayard Taylor was above, stolen kisses, and found '"more sweetness in granted favors."' -• Shelly, "who tasted myraids of 1no•uths," could write about kisses in et war that nra'dr one hunger. fel. then].. To him a kiss was The soft and sacet eclipse, When soul meets soul on !overs' lips." Among .,his samples were tho hallowed kiss, the loud, wild kiss, that sent his blood pumping through his pulses, and the shy, sweet half uncertain kisses pilfered most likely from the sylvan maid. In his wild- est enthusiasm he singe :-- "Kiss Ire so long but as a 1 Is may live, And in my hes tlesi b, east and burn. ing brain That kiss shall all thoughts else surv've, With food o:' saddest memory 1 ept alive." Stedman longed "to feel once more that fresh, wild thrill" of the first kiss full upon a "sweet, rosy, darling mouth." George Sand.never kissed, but submitted her cheek now and then to a Chopin or Mazzini when she could nut get at the intellectual feast any other way. Goethe did his kissing by day- light, for "the pictures in a pair of upturned eyes were more de- vouring than the flames of rosy lips." It was starvation that im- pelled poor little Jeannie Welch Carly is to kiss Leigh Hunt, and the image of death was not colder 'than' the kiss of Anne Boleyn. The most boisteroue kiss on record w .1 the "Shrews' " wedding, when "He took thobride about the neck, And kissed her lips with such a clamor- ow- ,rack, That, : the part!n,;, all the church did echo, In "Richard III." the poot calls "Their lips, fu's- red roses on a stalk. filet, in their summer beauty, kissed each other." Coriolanus carried into captivity "a kiss long as his exile and sweet en as revenge." T" t. i `us prefaced 111,4 It iaeufe with "I'll ?Ike ,that, winter from thy lips."

FREEMAN'S WORM POWDERS destroy and remove worms without injury to adult or infant. —Littleton Owens, a colored politician, of Norfolk, Virgiuia, who has represented Princess Anne County in the legislature, armed himself with an old army musket and went to the harbor shop kept by " Bob " Gornto. Littleton placed the musket at his breast and riddled the body with buckshot. The barber's death was inetantane- ous. Owens was arrested. He suspected Gornto of being intimate with his wife. FOR DELICATE, . SICKLY C[IIL- • MIEN. :Scott's E,nnitnon is unequalled. See what Dr. C.A. Black, of Amherst, N. S., 'says : "1 have been acquaint• ed with Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites, for years; and consider it one of the finest preparations now before the public. Its pleasant flavor makes it the great favorite Tor children,' and I do highly recommend it for all wast- ing ashing diseases of children and adults.

Lousia Alcott, with her fine, thin lips, "Iciesed youth on the chin and age on the cheek." And, by tho by, there is a poem entitled you Kissed Me," of which the first verse is here :given :— "You kissed me 1 M -y head ' Dropped low nn your breast With a feeling of shelter And infinite rest, While the holy emotions My tongue dared not speak Flashed up in a flume From my heart to my cheek. Your arms held me last Ohl your arms were so bold ; Heart boat against heart In their passionate fold, Your glances seemed drawing My soul through my eyes As the sun draws the mist From the sea to the skies, Your lips clung tontine Till I prayed in my bliss They mi ;ht never unclasp From the rapturous kiss.

She played for some time, and upon stopping to go into another portion ,of the house, she saw lying cjiled on the doormat an enormous snake. The snake was lying with its head on the coil watching the piano, and there can be no doubt but that it had been drawn into the room by the music. Miss Sanford has no idea how long sit had poen there, for she had boon playing for some time.
