THE BORE IX THE SANCTUM.
HY JOHN G. SAXE.
Again I hear the creaking step !
He’s rapping at the door !
Too well I know the boding sound
That ushers lu a bore.
I clo not tremble when I meet
The stoutest of my foes,
But Heaven defend mo from the friend
Who comes but never goes.
He drops Into my easy chair,
And asks about the news;
He peers into my manuscript,
And gives hls candid views ;
Ho tells me where he likes the lino,
And whore he’s forced to grieve ;
Ho takes the strangest liberties,
But never takes his leave.
He reads my dally paper through
Before I’ve seen a word ;
He scans the lyric (that I wrote,)
And thinks It quite absurd;
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coolly asks for more;
Ho opens everything he sees—
Except the entry door.
Ho talks about Ills fragrilo health.
And tells mo of his pains
Ho suffers from a score of ills,
Of which ho ne’er complains;
And how ho struggled once with death
To keep the fiend at bay; .
On themes like those away lie goes—
But never goes away I
He tolls me of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragrap h
Familiarly can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong,
He’d like to run him through!
He says a thousand plesant things—
But never says “ Adieu 1” «
When’cr ho comes—that dreadful man—
Disguise It ns I may,
I know that, like an autumn rain,
He’ll last throughout the day,
In vain I speak of argon t tasks,
In vain I scowl and pout;
A frown Is no extinguisher—
It does not put him out!
I mean to take the knocker oil*,
Put crape upon the door:
Or hint to John that I am gone
To stay a month or more.
I do not tremble when I meet
The stoutest of my foes ;
But Heaven defend mo from the friend
Who never, never goes!
LOVE, GARTERS AND SAUSAGES
About one hundred years ago a young
lady of Amsterdam, named Wilhelmina
Terscheling, was riding on horseback
through the village of Boxneer, when the
horse became frightened and run away. —
The young man who accompanied her,
and to whom she was betrothed, cried out
that he would give a hundred ducats to
any one that would stop the horse.
The young villagers who were playing
ball near by, seeing a woman in danger,
threw themselves before the furious ani
mal. One of them was thrown down and
wounded, and two other received contu
sions. The horse foil, and the beautiful
■\Vilhelmina rolled in the dust.
A young man who was passing immedi
ately threw n cloak over the lady before
any one else had time to perceive a finely
turned leg and a pretty garter.
Mad. Terschling, on being carried home
had time to reflect, and the result of her
reflections was that there must never be
two men in the world who had seen her
garter.
She sent for her betrothed, and said ;
“ will you kill the man who threw his
cloak over me ?’ ’
“ M’lle, I can no) stain my hands with
the blood of a fellow creature.”
She then sent for the young man who
threw the cloak over her. lie promptiy
appeared in her presence.
“ Monsieur,” said she,” “lam rich and
young (she blushed prodigiously while
adding oueof those hypocritical paraphra
ses by which women speak of .their beau
ty). I am not considered repulsive. I
wish to marry immediately. I see that
you are surprised I will be frank with
you. I have sent to you because you
have seen my garter. You have rendered
me a great service, Monsier. Without
you, all the youngmen of Boxneer would
have seen it, and as I could not have
married all, I should have killed myself.—
But if you are not free, or I am not so
happy to please you, I will give my hand
and fortune to a man who will kill you.—
Do you accept? Yes or no?”
“ Yes a thousand times, yes?”
The marriage took place, and like all
other marriages, probably; we have no
particulars on the subject. The young
men of Boxneer were invited to the nup
tials, and sumptuously feasted.
At her death, which took place iu the
course of time, the following codicil was
found in her will:
“ My farm, situated on the borders of
the Neuse, will remain forever, whoever
may be the proprietor of it, subject to the
following condition: Every year, under
penalty of forfeiture, on the 13th of May,
tables will be prepared and atun of strong
beer and ells of best sausages shall be
served to the young men In Boxneer, as
a token of gratitude that they did not see
my garters on the 13th of May, 1776.”
Until the present time, that is during
a hundred years, the wishes of the testa
trix have been punctiliously executed. —
But the present heir, on the 13th of last
May attempted to elude lliem. Under
pretext of confirming to the decimial sys
tem, he gave twenty meters of sausages,
instead of twenty ells, to the detriment of
the youth of Boxneer.
Not to Jose, they demurred the twenty
meters under protest; but this year
they have brought a suit against the heir
and demand that the case ue decided be
fore the 13th of Slay next.
A Puqent Sermon.— St. Jerome In one
of his sermons gave a rebuke to the
women of his day, which has seemed to
be so apropos to our own, that it is-clrcu
lated just now in Pnrlsquite universally:
“ Ah! I shall tell you wiioarethe women
that scandalize Christianity. They are
those who daub their cheeks with red,
and their eyes with black —those who
plaster faces, too white to be human, re
minding us of idols—those who cannot
shed a tear without tracing a furrow on
the painted surface of their faces —those
whose ripe years fail to teach them that
they are growing old —those who chalk
wrinkles intothecounterfeit presentment
of youth; and those who affect the de
meanor of bashful maidens in the pres
ence of grandchildren.”
JUST Tobacco was first brought into re
pute in England by Sir Walter Raleigh.
By the caution he took in smoking it
privately, be did not intend it should be
copied. But sitting one day in deep
meditation, with a pipe in his mouth, he
inadvertently called to his man to bring
him a tankard of small beer. The fellow,
coming into his room, threw all the
liquor into his master’s face, and running
down stairs, bawled out, ” Fire, help!
Sir Walter has studied till his head is on
fire, and the smoke bursts -out at his
mouth and nose,"
CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1866.
MARIE'S CURSE.
Intlio market place at Heilbroun, stands
an ancient inn called The Bore. At one
time it enjoyed a great ran of prosperity,
and this prosperity was owing to the mar
velous hoauty of its Kellnoriu, an orphan
girl who had been brought up and adop
ted by the landlord and nis wife. All the
gay cavaliers of the. neighborhood resort
ed there and loved to have their wine
poured out by the fair Marie, to whose
beauty, however, was added a discretion
that kept her adorers at a respectful dis
tance. It happened, however, unfortu
nately for Marie’s peace of mind, that
Hugo, son of the Count Holfenstein, who
had been absent for some years at the
courts of Anshach, came home, and hav
ing occasion to go with his father on a
visit to the Teutonic Knights, who had a
house at Heilbroun, put up at The Bose.
Young Hugo came, and saw, and con
quered. An elopement and a marriage,
secret of course, under the circumstances,
was the consequence. Hugo conducted
hisbeautiful bridoto Lowenstein, a lonely
hunting castle in the woods which his
father never visited, and for some time
was all to her which she could wish a
lover and a husband to be.
After a time, however, he was obliged
to absent himself on business with his
father to pay a visit to the Margrave of
An-ibach, where ho had served as page.—
Marie, however, was in a measure con
soled, ns letter and message for .a time
were frequent; but when weeks grew in
to months, and letters dwindled to notes,
and became at the same time fewer, cold
er, and farther between, and at last ceas
ed altogether, and that just at the time
when she became a mother, the poor girl
could bare the suspense no longer and as
soon as she was able she loft the castle
secretly with her infant son, her anxiety
having been increased nearly to madness
by a conversation which she had over
heard under the wall of the castle, in
which occurred vague expressions relative
to a great marriage festivity pending at
Weinsberg.
When, after a toilsome journey on foot
through the woods, she approached the
demesne of Weinsberg, a rough forester
accosted her and asked her her business.
She was rescued from his rudeness by
some lads from a friendly mill, but when
he was going away with a broken head he
called after her contemptuously, “Take
my blessing with you; noble countess; I
gave it once before, when I personated
tlie chaplain of Lowonstein, who married
you to Count Hugo.” She would hardly
yet believe her own ears, but hastened on
her way to see Hugo face to face, and hear
the truth, however bitter, from his own
lips. So she came at last to the steep
winding track which led to the castle of
Weibertruo, and ns she was stopping to
take breath a hundred paces from the
gate it opened, and she heard the noise of
an approaching cavalcade.
First however came a servant with a
halbert, who ordered her to get out of the
way if she did 'not wish to lie trampled
by the horses, ns the Herrschaft were com
ing. But she was rooted to the spot, for
there rode her Hugo, who, without iook-4
ing her way was pointing out to a gay
young lady the landscape under the glo
ries of the setting sun, and comparing it
in glowing words with his love, which
should last till death. “Hugo, Hugo!"
exclaimed poor Mairie, “ husband, father
of my child I” and threw herself in his
path'.
At these words Count Hugo started
and turned pale, as well ho might, and
the Ladyßerthagazed with astonishment
at the female apparation that barred her
way. Hugo, however soon recovered
himself, or seemed to do so and said bland
ly, “ Do not be afraid | it is only a crazy
girl who goes abouthere and limeios every
young knight is her husband;" and
turning to his attendants, he asked them
why she had hot been put in the mad
house out of harm’s way. This heartless
conduct roused Mario from the stupor of
her anguish, and she uttered a bittorcurse
on Hugo, praying that his castle might
be destroyed till not one stone remained
on another, and his first-born son by the
proud Bertha might be killed like a dog
by the lowest rabble whom Ida race so
much despised. Having uttered this
curse, she went away with the intention
of drowning herself and child in the
Neeker, but sank and died at the foot of
a willow tree on the way. A shepherd
from the neighborhood was attracted by
the wailing of the child took it home to
his wife, and adopted it, and hud a stone
cross pul at the fdot of the willow to com
memorate the death of the mother.
Whether this story is true or not in all
its circumstances, the substances of the
cur'so came to pass. The castle is certain
ly a heap of stones, and the heir of Hel
fenstoin met his deaih in thefamous War
of the peasants by the haudsof thelowest
of the people, among whom the story, to
make vengeance perfect, places the son of
the despised Mary, who was unknown to
his half brother the Count. Thoseevents
are supposed to have occurred some
twenty-live years before 1525, the date of
tlie outbreak of the serfs against their
feudal masters. Count Hugo of Helften
stein had broken his neck by a fall from
the very horse at whose feet the injured
Marie had lain prostrate, and was suc
ceeded by his son by the Countess Bertha,
who surpassed his father in pride and
luxury, as he was well enabled to do by a
marriage with a natural daughter of the
Emperor Maximilian.
Holding Back the Shoulders.—For
a great number of years it has been the
custom in France to give to young fe
males of the earliest age, the habit of hold
ing back the shoulders, and,thus expand
ing the chest. From the observation of
anatomists, lately made, it appears that
the clavicle, or collar-bone, 1s actually
longer in females of the French nation
than those of the English.—As the two
nations are of the Caucasian race, as there
is no other remarkable difference in their
bones, and this is peculiar to the sex, and
it may be attributed to the habit above
mentioned, which, by the extension of
the arms, has gradually producted a na
tional elongation of this bone. Thus we
see that habit may he employed to alter
and improve the solid bones. The French
have succeeded in the developement of a
part that adds to health and beauty.
Jewelry op a Princess in the Inte
rior of Africa.— Dr. Livingston, in his
recently published account of his voyage
up the great river of Eastern Africa, says
the sister of one of the chiefs wore eigh
teen solid brass rings, as thick as one’s
finger on each leg, and three of copper
under each knee ; nineteen brass rings
on her left arm, and eight of brass and
copper on her right: also a large ivory
ring above each elbow, or seventy-one
rings in all. She had a p retty head neck
lace, and a bead sash encircled her waist.
The weight of the brass rings around her
legs impeded her walking and chafed her
ankles, but as it was the fashion she did
not mind the inconvenience, and guard
ed against the pain by putting soft rags
round the lower rings. So much for fash
ion.

A GENERA!. RAKE ROAR LAW.
Tyranny and usurpation of any kind
have with the growth of civilization been
everywhere denounced, and the hatred of
sucli evils and curses gave birth to our
revolution and to the liberties of our peo
ple. Yet it is an alarming and astound
ing fact, that with all our vaunted free
dom, We are quietly and ignorantly sink
ing into.submission to'a grinding impo
sition and despotism from the dominant
Rail-Road Companies of our State, as
galling and ns gross as ever was inflicted
on citizens of a free Commonwealth.—
Great as the evil is, our Legislatures have
became so corrupt and are so wholly un
der the influence of money, that nothing
can be done for our relief; and most of
our weekly and daily journals are so en
tirely in the pay and under the influence
of these corporations, that the truth is
witheld, and falsehood and fallacy mis
lead the people. This day the Pennsyl
vania Rail-Road Company controls the
interests of Pennsylvania, and it has be
come a well-known fact that she regular
ly presents her favorite candidates Before
the State Conventions of the different
political parties, for Governor, and even
for the Judges of our Courts of last resort.
The Cumberland Valley Rail-Road is as
suming and usurping the same power
through the length and breadth of this
Valley, from the Susquehanna to the Po
tomac, and is grinding down and wiping
out of existence everything like individ
ual enterprise, and monopolizing the
business of every warehouse and every
ton of freight for the benefit of the stock
holders.
Attempts have been made in our Leg
islature for a general rail-road law; and
although every honest minded man ad
mits the justice and policy of the meas
ure, admits that the public necessities
require it, and that it would be greatly to
the advantage of every class in the com
munity, yet the power of existing Rail-
Road corporations is so omnipotent with
that body, that no progress can be made
towards its attainment. And this will
be the case until the people come to the
polls with an indignant determination
that no man shall go into either the Sen
ate or House who is not every inch a free
man and who has nerve and purity of
purpose to carry him through temptation.
Why shall there not be a general rail
road law? There is no danger of roads
being made except where they are de
manded by the business wants of the
community; and if they are demanded
by the business wants of the community,
should it bo in the power of any corpora
tion to say they shall not be had? It is a
settled fact that business will-always in
crease with the facilities for doing it.—
The resources of Pennsylvania are only
beginning to be developed, and every
Rail-Road that is made will bring nearer
to the markets thousands of acres of coal,
and lumber, and ore, and agricultural
products that have now no means of
transportation. What is the great object
the State or the Nation has in fostering
Rail-Roads ? Is it for the benefit of the
public, or for the private emolument of
the stockholders ? There can be no diffi
culty in answering this question. Clear
ly all public improvements were intend
ed to supply the wants of the people ; and
this was the great leading object why so
much energy and capital have been ex
pended in their introduction, yet this has
ceased even to be a subordinate object ex
cept so far only as it can ho made to in
crease the dividends of the stockholders
and the salaries of the Directors. Public
wants and public benefits are never spo
ken of any more. The single question is,
how much more than ten per cent, will
the stock make.
Look at a few of tho facts. But a few
years ago, even in tho days when there
was no other transportation for freight
than tho broad-wheeled road wagons, we
could certainly find a mode of transpor
tation with some security for the safe
delivery in good order of the articles. —
But now if we want to send a box of
goods to some friend or member of our
family in tiro West or elsewhere, we are
compelled to enter into a writen engage
ment with tho Rail-Road Companies, re
leasing them from all responsibility for
negligence on part of their agents, and
from all claims for damages except mere
ly that which may arise from collisions
of trains, or cars being thrown from the
track; with authority to sell our goods if
their charges are not paid within twenty
four hours after arriying at their destina
tion. Theii - agents may expose them to
the weather and have them ruined, or
leave them at some point on the road;
but they claim exemption by reason of
their contract, with the privilege to sell
within twenty four hours, without even
being obliged’to give notice of their arri
val. We may complain ; but they tell
us,.their terms are the best they will give
us. As one of their agents said to a
friend the other day : 11 What will you
do ? you are at our mercy. We own the
road, and can lock the gates at both ends.
We do not permit any other cars than our
own to carry freight.” This language
was actually used, and it was a perfect
quietus. Pennsylvania legislation has
given them a monopoly of everything,
and they control the people. They have
taken from the people every other facili
ty for transportation ; they have as they
think secured themselves against all com
petition, and now they boldly tell us,
” We have you by the throat, and you
must pay us such freight, and comply
with such demands as we choose to exact,
or suffer the pelalty of having your goods
stay where they are.” Who is so dull,
that he cannot see that this is but the
language of the highwayman with his
pistol at your breast. This pistol has
been placed there by the Pennsylvania
Legislature, and they refuse to take it
away by allowing competition. Here is a
copy of the contract the Pennsylvania
Rail-Road Company requires us to sign
before they will move a pound of our
freight:

Koad Company transporting the following de

In transit. And I farther guarantee to said Com
pany, or Companies, that any and all freight, or
other necessary charges that may accrue as pro
vided by Tarlflb of said Road, or Roads, shall be

cose such charges are not so paid, the Company
holding said goods may send them to warehouse,
or sell them for charges, without farther recourse
to me.- . .—ln presence of——witnesses

stamp, which Is to be furnished by the Shipper.*
Another evidence of (heir tyranny and
usurpation, is found in the fact that they
are determined to absorb all the business
of the community by driving off every
individual from the carrying trade.—
Their officers have arrived at such a
pitch of cool and sublime Impudence that
they boldly tell the community so. —
They have now notified the very men
who have inaugurated the system of
warehouse business along our railroads
to the great benefit of our farmers, mer-
VOL. 52,-NO. 51.
chants and mechanics, and who have in
vested every dollar of their capital in
their warehouses and cars, that they
will drive them out of the carrying trade
altogether by taxing their cars and all
their freight with such enormous tolls,
that they cannot compete with the com
pany. What is this but talking away
from them their living? Was the privi
lege of entering on any man’s farm and
laying their track over it, ever granted to
a Rail-Road Company for such purposes
as tliis? Was it ever contemplated, that
privileges like these which are part of
htate sovereignty should ever bo granted
to a corporation for the purpose of taking
away a man’s occupation and livelihood,
after having been induced by the compa
ny itself to make that particular branch
the business of his life ? But this they
will do, and are doing. James the 11, got
the idea into his head, that the people
were made for him, and they had no
rights except what he chose to grant
them; and our Rail-Road Directors are
inflated with the same fallacy, and it is
time they would meet witli the same fate.
When they have succeeded in driving off
every individual from owning a running
oar; when they have succeeded in ab
sorbing all the powers and benefits that
were intended for the people generally
in the creation of Rail-Roads they will
say to the community', “ wo have you
again by the throat. There is now no
competition, and we will charge what we
please, and you must submit to our ex
actions.”
Take another item connected with, the
present management of our Kail-Roads.
It is a well known fact that hundreds
of free tickets are issued by the officers of
the Pennsylvania Rail-Road Company,
and that scarcely a man about Harris
burg who can command any influence
at all, that has not one. It is a common
thing for members of the Legislature to
procure them for their friends. What do
such facts prove? They prove Ist. The
corrupting influence of Rail-Road Compa
nies in our Legislature ; 2d. The use such
Companies make of their corporate priv
ileges to corrupt men of influence every
where through the community ; 3d. That
honest stockholders are loosing what the
officers corruptly give away; 4th. That
the more honest and less conspicuous
portion of the community, not favorites,
have to make up the enormous dividends
the Company declares by paying higher
rates for travel and freight than they
ought to do, or would otherwise have to
do, if it was not for the loss on their army
of dead heads and free favorites. In some
of the States it is said there is a severe
penalty inflicted on Rail-Road officers for
granting free tickets to any except the
employees and officers of the Company ;
and it is high time that such a law should
be passed in Pennsylvania, if there was a
possibility of getting the ear of the Leg
islature.
Wo have enumerated but a few of the
evils we begin to suffer. A catalogue of
them would make this article too long.—
But wo do appeal most earnestly to the
people, and to the Democratic party in
particular, in whoso principles “ the
greatest good of the greatest number,”
hasal ways found nourishment, to restrain
the impudent, overbearing and insolent
encroachments of these corporations.—
They are swallowing up all the power of
our State, and we are being controlled
and trumpeted upon by some of the most
reckless and corrupt stock speculators
that the world has ever known.

THE OEI> GRAVE YARD.
How great the contrast between the
present aspect of Nature and that which
itreeently presented ! Winter has drawn
off liis army of winds, frosts, snow, and
hail, and Spring has succeeded the mon
arch of desolation. Under her soft and
gentle reign, the earth cast aside its wind
ing sheet, and life in a thousand forms is
breaking forth, in verdure, fragrance,
and beauty. The scenes which then
wore a chilling appearance, are now
bright and lovely, the trees which were
shorn of their covering are casting upon
the ground their refreshing shadows, the
fields and favorite walk's have resumed
their attractions, the garden, which, like
a friend in adversity, was forsaken, again
yields its perfume and promises its fruits,
and the vegetable creation which looked
dead, is revived. So, too, the tuneful
tribes whose voice was not heard in our
land are warbling thoie melodies, the tiny
myriads have renounced their torpor, to
creep on the earth or shine the atmos
phere, the-streams that, were frozen to
death-like stiffness, have broken their
icy fetters, are moving with a sparkling
and cheerful flow .and the cattle, no long
er grave and sullen, are grazing in a
thousand meadows or playing on the
hills.
Now, who, surveying for the first time
Nature as thus clad in her winding-sheet,
could or would have expected that she
would ever revive in bloom, beauty, and
activity? Yet, with ail the a priori im
probability, the/acf is indubitable. And
with such a surprising display of God’s
almightiness before us, wherefore should
wequestionthe resurrection of thehuman
body? Caunot He who formed man orig
inally from the dust of tho earth, re-form
him by His omuifle word, though dust
has long mixed with dust in the grave?
Cannot He who, out of a blank, void
space, produced this goodly world, with
all its beautiful contrivance for the sup
port and comfort of its inhabitants, as
readily renew the human frame, howev
er dissolved and changed ? Who dare say
that tho power of God cannot eflbct this?
That power is, indeed, doing things as
great every clay. True though it be that
the resurrection is a miracle, yet the only
difference between these daily occurren
ces and a miracle, is, that tire miracle
does not occur every day. It is as great
a miracle that men breathe, or that the
sun rises, as that the dead body shall be
raised. It is as great a miracle that men
exist now, as that they shall exist again.
Nature and Providence, too, abound with
emblems and illustrations of the truth,
that through the vale of death we pass to
life.
"What is there In death to blast our hopes?
Behold the universal works of nature,
Where life still springs from death. To us tho Sun
Dies ev’ry night, and ev’ry morn revives:
The flaw’ra, which winter’s icy hand destroyed,
Lift their fair heads, and live again in spring.
Mark with what hopes, upon the furrowed plain,
Tho oareful plowman casts the pregnant grain,
There hid as in a grave, awhile it lies,
Till tho revolving season bids It rise,
Till nature’s genial power command a birth."
These are not forced analogies, but pa
tent parts of the harmony between the
natural and spiritual worlds, which, whilst
unconsciously felt by all men, is yet by
deeper minds continually recognized, and
often presses upon their meditations the
question suggested by the Angel in Mil
ton.—
‘What If earth
Bo but the shadow of heaven and things therein
Kuch to other like, more than on earth is thought.'
Such were some of our as wo

what other evidence need there be that

departed, than is found in the tasteful
marble memorials which have been erect
ed, the beaten—winding paths leading in
every direction, which denote the fre
quent visitor, and the emblematic ever
greens and sWeet flowers which bloom
over almost every grave?
It is right that it should be so. Civili
zation has no surer expression than ■ re
spect for the Cemetery. If the bodies of
believers at their death, “ being still uni
ted to Christ, do rest in their graves un
til the resurrection,” it is eminently pro
per, aside from the dictation of affection
and refinement that the beds in which
they slumber, should be marked with the
indications of undying remembrance, and
that no craving of commerce or stroke of
ambition should disturb the peaceful
sleepers there.
We have referred to the sorrow experi
enced in interment, but oh! how much
greater will be the joy of the resurrec
tion. That great event will come. The
renewed face of nature, at this moment,
assures us of that glorious period when •
the promise shall be fulfilled,—“ Thy
dead men shall live, together with my
dead body shall they arise. Awake and
sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew
is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall
cast out the dead.” Courage then, mourn

be troubled. Yo believe in God, believe
also in Him who is the “resurrection and
the life.” Your dead ones, who sleep in
Jesus, shall not always bo pressed down
in the lonely grave by the heavy clod un
der summer’s sun and winter's snow, aud
autumn’s vail. They shall rise again to
newness of life. Every bursting bud, and
blooming flower, and sprouting seed, says
so. They shall come forth from their dus
ty beds without the possibility of being
either crushed by violence! or worn away
by suffering, or marked by deformity,
with the germ of life planted In their
nature—springing up into a continual re
newal of their vital powers, in the glory
of unblemished righteousness, in the un
spotted loveliness of a perpetual spring,
and in the ethereal and eternal charm of
an angelic purity, “and every form and
every face look heavenly and Divine.”—

THK WHOLE ART OF KISSING.
People will kiss and yet not one in a
hundred knows howto extract bliss from
lovely lips, no more than know how to
make diamonds from charcoal. And yet
it is easy, at least for me. This little item
1s not alone for young beginners, but the
many who go at it like hunting coons or
shelling corn. First know who you are
to kiss. Don’t make a mistake, although
a mistake may be good. Don’t jump up
like a trout for a fly, and smack a woman
on tho neck, or the ear, or the corner of
tho forehead, on the end of the nose, or
slop over on her water-fall or bonnet-rib
bon in haste to get through.
The gentleman should be a little the
tallest. He should have a clean face, a
kind eye, and a mouth full of expression
instead of tobacco. ’ Don’t kiss every
body, includingiittle dogs, male orfemale.
Don’t sit down to it, stand up. Need not
be anxious to get in a crowd. Two per
sons are plenty to corner and catch a kiss.
More persons spoil the sport. Stand firm.
It won’t hurt any after you are used to
it. Take left hand of the lady in your
right hand, let your hat go to—any place
out of the way. Throw your left hand
over the shoulder of the lady, and let the
hand fall down upon the right side to
ward the belt. Don’t be in a hurry. Her
head will fall lightly upon your shoulder
and a handsome shoulder-strap it makes.
Don’t be in a liiirry; send a little life
down your left arm and let it know its
business. Her left hand is in your right.
Let their be expression to that—not Tike
the grip of a vice, but a gentle clasp, full
of electricity, thought and respect. Don’t
be in a hurry; her head lies carelessly on
your shoulder. You are nearly heart to
heart. Look down into her half closed
eyes. Gently yet manfully press her to
your bosom! Stand Ann, and Providence
will give you strength for the ordeal. —
Be brave, and don’t be ia a hurry. Her
lips almost open! Lean lightly forward
with your head, not the*body. Take
good aim; the lips meet; the eyes close;
the heart opens; the soul rides the storms,
troubles and sorrows of life, (don’t be in
a hurry;) heaven opens before you; the
world shoots from under your feet as a
meteor flashes across the evening sky;
(don’t be afraid,) the nerves dance before
the just'created altar of love as zephyrs
dance with the dew-trimmed flowers;
the heart forgets its bitterness, and the
art of kissing is learned. No noise, no
fuss, no squirming like hookempaled
worms. Kissing don’t hurt; it does not
require a brass hand to make it legal.—
Don’t job down on a beautiful mouth ns
if spearing for frogs. Don’t grab and
yank the lady as if she was a struggling
colt. Don’t muss her hair, scratch down
her collar, bite her cheek, squizzlo her
mussed, rumpled, and bemussod. Don’t
flavor your kisses with onions, gin cock
tails, lager beer, brandy, etc., fora maud
lin kiss is worse than the itch to a deli
cate, sensible woman.
