WIDOW BROWN. 6k TTES the very man of course lie XX is I How stupid I was, not to think of him before I" Such was the exclamation of Hurry Mi nus, a young gentleman of " roflned tastes, expensive habits, nnd elegant ideas," as ho sat, with his feet on the fendor, in his little bachelor apartment a four pair back in a pleasant and salubrious quarter of the west end of Boston. He had just thrown an unfinished inch of Havana into the smoul deriuir embers, and wisdom came with the last whiff, Harry was regarded as a hand some young man, though he was slightly used up1 by the pace he had gone forthe last few years. Still ho was in tolerable pres ervation, and was" well made up by one of those benevolent Schneiders, who "exult to trust and blush to bo paid." But ho was now in rather an unenviable position. ' Cards had tricked him, and ill fortuuo cogged tho dice." , His landlady, who "was a poor lone woman,", was frequently intro ducing the subject of . "her littlo bill," which was fast swelling to the proportions of a " big mil," that turoutenea to kuocK tlie non-paying lodger in the head. But there was a ray of hope ; another widow middle-aged, it was true, but O, adorable in tho respectability of bank stock, dear in the amenities of real estate- Harry had made her acquaintance, and some progress .in her good graces. She liked military men ; and Harry had served with distinction in the militia. lie some times went to military balls, in a swallow- tailed blue coat, turned up with buff. But then the widow was fond of poetry, and Harry could not write a hue. ,Tlie exultant exclamation, recorded by C'apt. Minus iu the commencement of this paper, was prompted by his remembering that he bad a friend In tlie literary way who could aid him in a laudable scheme of passing as a poet , with the widow Brown " done brown, she will be, if the plan suc ceeds," thought the very . moral young man. A call on Philotus Crowquill was im mediately made. Philetus inhabited very doubtful lodgings in the neighborhood of Causeway Street, a ' classic attic, without the consolations of Beranger's sky-parlor Philetus hud commenced life with tho set tled purpose of making himself the Fon Manque of Boston ; lie now subsisted on writing puffs for quack nostrums, and lead ing articles for the "very young ladies' magazine." All the traditional shabblness of literature was exemplified in. his sur roundings." , He received Capt. Minus, with "dis tinguished consideration," aud very readily agreed, for a small consideration, to open the attack on the widow with three or four sounding stanzas. Plunging his pen into the inkstand, he drove it over a sheot of paper at a 2.40 rate, and soon finished the verses. They were pronounced excellent, "They aro rather good, I think," said CrowquUl, modestly. " Do you think they'll fetch the widow?" i "I'm sure of it," said Minus, omphat fcftlly. : , ' '.' ; , ' " All ' right! my boy,,"' answered Crow, quill. "Now 'just draw your chair to the table, and v. hilts I step out aud get a bite I haven't eaten a morsel to day, you can copy my poem." " Oood ' answered Minus, and ho ben to the task. The literary gentleman had not been gone more than five minutes, before a round rod face was cautiously protruded through the door, and two gray eyes, belonging to the face,' took a' keen survey of the busy occupant of the 'room. ,,' After the face, there awieared. successively, a red ban, danna . handkerchief, a stout drab coat, thick stick. ' and a pair of lugs and feet encased lu corduroys and eow-hlde boots, constituting an aniinul of tlie genus homo, who stealthily approached the . table, and tapping Capt. Minus on tho shoulder, smiled affectionately . and familiary upon him, as he turned round with a dramatic start And beheld the " unbidden guest . " You're wuuted dowu thore !" said the proprietor of the thick stick, as he jerked his thumb iu .the direction of Leverott Street jail. Minus knew that there was more than one wt it auspendod over his head ; it was tho cause of his anxiety to , possess the widow J and he recognized, without dif ficulty, a sheriff olllcor. To gain a little I time was all ho desired, and it occurred to him to borrow, for a brief space, the name of his literary friend. - " You've made a mistake this time,, my good fellow,'', ho sid, haughtily;. Vroy name's Crowquill." . ...,'', "The very man I'm arter videlicet to wit," Bald the myrmidon, displaying the writ. , ,, i , ., , "I mean," said Minus, suddenly cor recting himself, "that my name's Minus." " Gammon I" said the officer. . . It was usolcss to resist. Minus was tak en to the lock-up, vowing vengeance. , On tho way, he encountered a friend, who volunteered his testimony as to Minus's identity. But alas 1 no sooner was he re leased than another officer, the very fao simile of No. 1, served another writing upon the wretched young man, and as it was too late to procure bail, he passed the night iu durance vile., Tho next day he despatched a note to Crowquill, to arrange about procuring bail. It was answered by the appearance of the literary gontleman in person, but so chan ged that his friend recognized him with difficulty. He was clad in a new suit of black, and looked as radiant as Apollo him salf. i. " Have you got bail ?" asked Minus. , " I've dono better I've paid the debt," replied Crowquill. , , ... "My doarboy! whero did you got tho means? You've got no money.". f'My wife has 1" , "Whatl are you married ?" "Last night, my boy !" " To whom ?" , . "The widow Brown I Lord bless youl I'vo been courting her for six months. She liked soldiers, but preferred poets. She said you were well enough, but that I was the very man. Don't bo downcast. There's other widows to be had for asking. Come and dine with mo, for this afternoon wo start upon our bridal tour." Some Itnd Spells. Among samples of bud spelling furnished by a correspondent are the following: ' Occasionally cases or baa spelling, crop out among the professions, and some la mentable instances of , weakness, in this respect oome to light among the " human itarians." For instance,' a young lawyer In an Interior city early one morning lock ed his office door aud left upon it this mys terious legend: " Qon to brexfus." In a small New England town a drug gist was surprised and disturbed to re ceive, at the hands of a dirty-looking cus tomer, the following prescription: "Please give the bare sumphin to fiziek him IS cts worth." ' , . , , The proprietor of a country store once worked himself . nearly into a brain fever endeavoring to make intelligible the fol lowing note, handed to him by a small boy the son of of one of his customers: "roister Grean, . " Wunt you let my boay hev a pare of Esy toad shuz 1" However, he was probably no more hor rified than the schoolmaster who received a letter from the man who wrote: " I have decided to inter my boy in your soull." , The letter which some person wrote to an editor, whon discontinuing his paper, contains internal evidence of the truth of its assertions: , , , I think folks ottent to spend their munny for payper, my aau muuont ana evary boddy scd he was the iutelligontest man in the country and has the smartest family of boize that ever dugged taters." "This house for sail," was theannounco- ineut a traveler saw nailed over tho door of an humble dwelling in New Hampshire, He called the proprietor to tho door and gravely inquired, " When is your house going to sail ?" " When some feller comes along who can raise the wind,v responded tho man, with a sly twinkle in his eye, and the traveler moved mournfully on. , The following " notis" is posted in Liu coin County : "Ce hear. I don't want euuib odi that has bosses which has of the ennizutick innllewenza, or ar.y other In- furncl name, to cum tnru tins gan unuer penalty of bavin ot their, tho bossos, tales cut off closse behind their, the bosses, years. Keep shi. Mountaineer." , A Candid Chap, i Judge Strong was formerly well, it was some years ago given to imbibing more than was ossontial to the equilibrium of his mental and physical powers. But he was one of the politest men in the world, and never more so, than when a little too deep in liquor. With his neighbor, Mr. Bates, a political opponent, he had many a sharp conflict ; but one day, when quite mellow, it suddenly struck him that he ought to " make up friends" with Bates aud stepping up to him in the street lie said ! ' ' " I say Bates, you and I have said a groat many hard things about oue another, aud I am getting old, and fuel as if I ought to make au apology for all that I have said, aud havo it settled up." "Oh, never mind," said Mr. Bates ; "let it pass and if you keep quiot hereafter I'll be atiHlicd." "No, no," said the Judge : "I owe you an apology, for I have called you a rogue, i thief, and a liar." ' ' "Well, never mind." .' , " Yes, but I do mind. I say I have call cd you a thief, and a liar, and a sooundrel aud and I'll be hanged If 1 don't tbin.t o still!" . KISSING. , ., nr O. B. JOYFUL. K1 ISSING Is one of the fine ai ts that dates back to a very early day. It is not certainly known whether it was practiced by Adam and Eve or not. They must have had a jolly time in that beautiful garden, with no vituals to cook, clothes to make, stockings to darn, taters to dig, in in fact as far as we are informed they had little to do but eat fruits, recline in the shade, and have a good time generally. On reflection, I am cortain that our first parents must have practiced this art, as without it, Eden would have been a dry place, and Eve would have wanted a di vorce. The earliest kissing I remember to have seen recorded is the kissing of his brothers by Joseph, when he made himself known to them as he went to Egypt to buy corn. This kissing, under the circumstan ces, was quite commendable ; but gen erally speaking, it is much more interest ing where one of the two pairs of lips re quired for tho manufacture of a geuuino doublo-and-twisted articles, is of that kind that never produces a mustneho. , There are several kinds of kisses ( . male kisses above rcfored to a scarce nrticlo, not much in demand, female kisses are just the opposite, and are , used mostly by school girls when they meet, not having seen one another for a few days, and by older fe males after longer separations; their princi ple value is in showing to the gents who witness them that the sweet creatures do love to kiss so much. It's only an aggra vation to mo to see the like, for I always pick cut tho prettiest girl of the two, and wish the other one was me. Cousinly kisses are are what shall I likon them to? I got otio once from a fair haired Cousin second one at that after an ab sence of some months, and it .made me " feel like a morning star" or something elso glorious ; I shall nover forget it, don't tell my wife though, or cousin's husband she has got one now, and ho is a sea captain, aud might hit me with a belaying pin. Kissing for fun is a little the sweetest fun of which I have any knowledge es pecially if she is pretty and not too willing, Well do 1 remember now 1 usca to " pay forfeits" by making " sido-hill-plowe," measuring ribbon," etc; in my young days. How delightful soft the pretty girls cheeks used to feell how their waists used to just fit so nicely inside the circle of my arm! and how they seemed to enjoy it, notwithstand ing they would make great show of fight ing to keep a poor fellow from getting his just dues. Stealing a kiss is one of the most excusable thefts imaginable Much allowance must be made for the severity of the temptation, you know; then it leaves her no poorer for tho theft, and she gets half the good of it besides. . Then there are a whole troop of kisses of affec tion, such as motherly, fatherly, sisterly brotherly, daughterly, etc. Kissing over the gate is generally accounted delicious, but for my part, I prefer to take mine be fore Bhe goes through tho gate don't ob ject to a few after Bhe'si inside if she isu't satisfied, and if, 1 can't go in and take em on tho sofa after her bonnet is off so that I ain't afraid of . mussing things. . Kissing tlie baby is one of tho most delightful pas- times, especially if it is good naturcd, pret ty, clean, and and your own. But when you come to the essonce of all sweetness boiled down, the warm, long-drawn kiss of lovers when she has just said " yes." , The kiss the young husband bestows upon his bride as be folds her to bis bosom and cries "all mine.". The kiss returned by the bride, as sho nestles in the protecting arms, and says "my husband." The kisses of the riper love of maturor years as they journey hand in hand through life, sur rounded by the children of their , love. These ara the ones that lift one a little nearer heaven than any other kind of de lightful beverage, t P. S. In regard to the best time for in dulging, I have only to say that they are good all the year 'rotiud. Stolen kisses must be taken when you can got 'em, and all others except kissing another man s wife ablibitum, only the less publio the bet ter. As to the best place, the cheeks and lips are usually considered the- "choice cuts," the latter bringing a littlo the high est price In market. Husbands and wives especially new ones ate, usually sup posed to take a much wider range of pas- ture. , i , , : mm tW " Header, if you have borrowed the paper you are reading, don't d it again.

He picks up one, a hard, green thing, no bigger than a walnut He bites it ; it is sour and bitter ; it puckers up his mouth, and seta his teeth on edge. " Ha 1" he says throw ing tho untimely fruit away" I hear them peak of apples as being so delicious : I'm sure I don't think much of this one." . He picks up another that looks yellow. There's a hole in it, but he doesn't know what that means ; so he bites into it, and finds a worm. " Bah t npplos delicious, indeed 1" he cries in disgust ; and then he picks up a third, which is crushed by his touch, for it is rotten. So he condemns apples, because ho has looked for them upon the ground, instead of on tho trees above bis head, where they hang ripe and juicy. Just so men Judge of Christians, by the rotten ones on the ground. ; Ifo Time for Swearing. ' : ' Catch me using a profane word in the presence of ladies," said a talkative strip ling with a shade of down on his upper lip. 'There's a time for all things." 'No sir, thero isn't a time for all things. No law, human or divine, ever set apart a time for swearing. A profane expression is a sin and an abomination, utter it where you will. !
