KISS MEJ
"Kim me !" said an artless child,
Tossing her sunny curls asido,
And clasping then, with dimpled arms,
A youthful mother's neck with pride :
"Ki me !" she said, "my mother, ou,"
Al though unseen electrio chords
V'ere charged with eloquence of lore,
Which might not breath or spouk in words.
"Kiss me '." tald a maiden fair,
At she twined, with graceful hand,
Her parting lover's raven locks,
Ere he sped to a far off land i
"Kiss me!" she said in sweetest tone,
"And leave thy truest love with me ;
My heart shall blend its own with thino
And bring them both unchanged to thee."
''Kiss me ?" said a dying boy,
Al a tear strayed down his pallid cheek,
And nearer drew his sitster's check,
To catch that voico so soft and weak ;
"Kits me!" be said. "I'm dying now,
As fade the sunset hues of even;
But, sister, I n ill watch for thoe,
And meet thee at the gates of Ileaveu !"

cumstances by which his mind had been
brought to that conclusion, ho perceived
that they were not only not absolutely con

nation entirely compatible with innocence,

bile thathe hud owned them, though, with

stance, if sustained by other and more

hen aided by slightly corroborative evi
dence, sufficient to prove his participation
in the murder, since they might, original

And her foot was like a little white rose

to set off the neat covering that concealed
the rest from profane eyes. It did not
seem a foot, as one saw it reposing in its
Kid slipper, like a Canary bird in its nest

Well, sir, this Mary taught the skating
icver, wnicu is now raging so learfully. 1
heard her express a wish for a pair of
skates, and the next nay she had the
best pair that could be found iu the city,
and nobody knew who sent them to her;
but, bless mo how my blood boils nt the
thought of the consequences.
Mary putt her t'uvt in it.
We went down upon tho ico, and there
that little witch of a Mary, just sat qui
etly down, ordered me on my knees, and
quietly placed that foot, the foot, tho poet
ic myth, in my lap, nnd bid mo put on
her skte. Nir, had Venus dropped down
from Heavon, and bid mo rub her down
with rotten stono and oil, it could not
have twt nished nio moro than when the
divine foot was placed in my unworthy
lap. I felt very faint but 1 buckled on
the skates, and stood up, with Mary by
my side.
