When the Cardinal John of Lorraine whs presented to the Duchess of Savoy she cave him her hand to kiss, greatly to the indignation of the irate church man. "How, madam," exclaimed he, 'am I to he treuted in this manner? I kiss the queen, my mistress, and shall 1 nut kissyou, who are only a duchess?" and without more ado, despite the re sistance 01 the proud little Portuguese princess, kissed her thrice on the mouth, beiore he released her with an exultant laugh. 1'bo doughty cardinal was ap parently or one mind wiih Sheldon, who thought "to kiss ladles' hands af ter their lips, as some do, is like little boys who. after they eat the apple, fall to the paring." When Charles II. was making his triumphal progress through Luglaud, certain country ladies who were presented to hiuj, instead of kisa I ing the royal hands, in their simplicity held up their pretty lips to he kissed by [ the king?a bluuder no one would more I willingly excuse than the red-haired lover of pretty Nell Gwynn. Another poet, the couutrymau of Chartier, had two centuries later the honor of bein^ publicly kissed in the stage box by the young and lovely Countess de Viiiars; but in Voltaire's case the lady gave the oscillatory salute not o! her own free will, but iu obedience to the comtuauds j ol the clamour* in the pit, mad with eu thusiasin for ttie poet's "Metope." Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire i as our readers will remember, cave, Steel, the butcher, a kiss for his vote' nearly a century since, and another i equally beautiful woman, Jane, Duch ens ot Gordon, recruited her regiment I In a similar manner. Duncan Mac-j kenzie, a veteran of Waterloo, died at Idgin, Scotland, December, iSOO. He1 delighted in telling how ho kissed the i Duchess in taking the shilling from be tween her teeth to become one of her regiment?the Gordon II ighlanders, better known as the 92d. The old Scottish veteran of eighty-seven has not left one behind him to tell the same tale about kissing the blue-eyed Duch ess in the market place or Duthill. The late Daniel O'Connell hit upon a novel mode of securing votes for the candidates he had named at a certain election, which test, considering the constitutional femoerament of his countrymen, is said to have proved ef fectual. De said, iu reference to the uiifortuuute elector who should vote against them, "Let no man speak to him. Let no woman salute him !" Gilbert Stuart, the portrait painter, is said to have once met a lady in the Streets of Boston, who accosted him with, "Ah, Mr. Stuart, I have just seen your likeness, and kissed it be cause it was so much like you." "And ?lid it kiss you in return?" "Why, no." ?Then," said ihe gallant painter, "it was not like me." Some ol our readers who are not so young as they have been, may remem ber the famous Yankee kiss, and kiss or the last King of England beiore he came to his estate. While in New lork the Prince called at a barber's shop to be shaved. When the operation was completed, he stepped up to the barber's wife, who chanced to be pres J|*id giving her a kiss, remarked: " 1 here, now, you can say you have been kissed by a member ot the royal lainily." The barber, greatly incensed by what he chose to receive as an in sult, seized the Prince, and, helping , him out ol the shop with his loot, ex claimed: "There, now, you can say vou have received a royal kick from an American Ireeman." A ; t.'hevalier Hansen, who rose from a humble position in lite to great honor I was a man of vast .saiuir but little i | erudition. Asa theAlogiau, the char-I , acler to which lie most aspired, he was ' severely criticised by the celebrated Dr. j Merle D Aubigne. The twoaavans met j I at Berlin at the Evangelical Alliance, \ held several years ago. Hansen kissed I ?Merle; ot course the polite Genevan j could but return the compliment.! Great was the ado about the "kiss of | reconciliation," as the Germans called I it, mnch to the annoyance of Dr. Merle who had no idea of compromising the | solemn writers of theology bv u kiss! Besides, he said, he preferred*!he Kuc lish custom in kissing to the German. I A delicate insinuation that, but the Professor meant nothing wrong. 1 The Rev. Sidney Smith says: "We ) I are iu favor of a certain amount of i Shyness when a kiss is proposed, out it should not be too long, and when the ! fair one gives it, let it bo administered I with warmth and energy?let there be ' j soul in it. It she closes her eves and I sigh immediately after it, the"*ffect is! greater. She should be careful not to I slobber a kiss, but give it as a hum-I tiling bird runs his bill into a honey suckle?deep but delicate. There is much virtue in a kiss when well deliv ered. We have the memory of one we received in our youth, which lasted us forty years, and we believe it will be one of the last things we shall think of it when we die." At Boulogne, during tho reception of Vjueen \ ictoria, June, 1S55, a number ol Lnglish ladies, in their anxiety to see everything, pressed with such force against the soldiers who were keeping the line, that the latter, in some in stances, were obliged to give way, and generally were, to use the expression oi our policemen, "impeded in the execu-1 Hon of their duty." The otlicer in command, observing the stale of af- j fairs, shouted out, "One roll of the drum, if they don't keep back, kiss them all." At the lirst sound of the drum the English ladies took to flight. "It they had been French," said a Par isian journalist, "they would have re mained to a woman."

This seems rather a weak way of overcoming evil. "Mr. Ralph Waldo Kuersoij has affected more minds, and affected them more than any other American," savs the New \ork Alail. That remark doesn't tell the whole storv. He has also made more minds affected, and made more affected ininds still more affected than auy other American. ?Philadelphia abounds in medical colleges and dissecting-rooms, and hence the "resurrection" business. The price paid resurrectionists for a subject generally Is from $15 to $20; what price is paid at Hit? county prison is not known. The colleges are largely sup plied with the bodies ol ahaudnned women, many of whotn have been known to sell themselves for this pur pose before death, for the sum of ?50! ?An enterprising' newspaper comes occasionally with several columns of correspondence which is apparently written by the yard. ThSt our young readers may see how e*sy it is to fur nish matter of this sort, we give the first two sentences of one of these letters. The writer says: "Fortress Monroe is on n peninsula.

And years wherein we 11! nave seen, So uo Thou make us gjad." ?The Catholic Bishop Goss, of Liv erpool, who is a very active tsocial re former, has commenced u crusade against the low dresses worn by ladies at balls. In a recent sermon he slated that "at Catholic balls, in Liverpool, where Protestants attended, the C'atho lies might bo known and distinguished by the very extravagancies of their dress. He had been told that their dresses were lower and more unbecom ing than the dresses worn by Protec tants. There seems to boa general ten dency to seuii-nudity, and latterly ladies have taken to shortening their dresses at both ends, as the sailor burn ed the candle, probably to expediate their progress to the desired airiness of costume. ?The Hartford (Ct.) Couranlsays that the Congregational ministers of Con necticut have thoroughly canvassed their parishes to ascertain the actual religious condition of the State. The result was unexpected. In one hun dred towns, at least one-third of the families are net in the haliit of going to church. Irreligion was found to in crease in proportion to the distance from the centre of the towns. It pre vails more in sparsely-settled farming districts, than in the manufacturing villages. A similar state of things is reported to exist in some parts of Mass achusetts. ?The recent session of the Rock River 'Illinois) Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, took very de cided grounds on the subject of divorces and re-uiarriages. They recommended that the Legislature be memorialized to pass laws restricting divorces a vinculo viatrimoni; that is, breaking the chain j?nd allowiug to re-marrv for the crime of-adultery, only as prescribed in the "f*n?>red scriptures; and also, as is the ease in England, allowing decrees of divorce * ? mcnsu-ct-thoro," which is :i leg;il separation of the parties, as to bed and board, and any control est" the pro perty or person of the other by either, but does not allow the marriage of either of the parties to any other.
