'The picnic's all behiad us, Kate;
'Twill take them loii to find us, Kate;
There's a world of Miss in a harmless kiss,
And no one near to mind us, Kate.''
Her face took a ruddier hue,
A hasty backward glance she threw ;
She did not seak. hut on her cheek
The crimson tint still richer grew.
Then mute she s;ood, with downcast eyes,
As f as nyninli in maiden guise;
Just then some ill-disposed young devil
My l'ps possessed by some surprise!
And stole a kiss before I could
Prevent the f-auce-box, if I would:
"Why, Harry Ulake. how could you take
Such liberties here in this wood?
It's quite too bad! besides, how queer !
That we're alone t r ther here!
Come, u. j;;.)--; ';Jit well you know,
I'd rather have the others near.''
A glance jle:u':e 1 from her bonny eye.
Thai tempered well the cute reply!
With cntle haste about her v.aiit
yiy arm crept eagerly but sl.y.
'I'on't, F.arry. dear!'' twas soft and clear,

in many individuals, a most striking effect

ago, on a very cold evening, a crowd of
lawyers had collected around the open

in the bar-room, when a traveler entered
benumbed with cold ; but no one moved
to give him room to warm his shins, so
he leaned against the wall iu the back
part of the room.
Presently a smart young limb of the
