GARFIELD'S FAVORITE POEM. I Whin I am sad and lone, And makes the anguish of my heart , The suffering of his own ; \\ ho coldly shuns the glittering * * n . on « , . At pleasure s gay levee, And comes to gild a sombre hour j And give his heart to me. j He hears count my sorrows o'er, And when the tusk is done. He freely gives me all I usk— A sigh for every one. lie cannot wear a smiling face When mine is touched with gloom, But like the violet's seeks to cheer The midnight with perfume. ï Commend me to that generous heart Which like the pine on high, Uplifts the same unv To every change of sky ; j Whose friendship does not fade away When wintry tempests blow, But like the winter's icy crown, I Looks greener than the snow. "He flics not with the flitting stork That geeks a Southern sky, I But lingers where the wounded bird j Hath laid him down to die. • O, such a lriend ! He is in truth, ; Whato'er his lot may be, A rainbow on the storm of life, An anchor on its sea. •v KISSES. "KISH ME SOFTLY, ANI) SPEAK TO ME LOW." There is a story told of an old »Scotch deacon who courted a girl for a good many years, hut never found j courage to ask her to marry. One day after they had been "keepin'ci P a,, y"ßr »bout ten years, he ventured j to solicit a kiss. j "Let me first ask a blessing," lie I said uiyl, falling upunJtti knees, he Tklicfiêiï. I He next with due circumspection ' and Scotch deliberation, possessed . himself of the kiss,when,with a sound ing smack, he exclaimed, "Eh ! wo Let us rc an, hut it was good ! turn thanks !" That prince of good fellows, John G. Saxe, has added this to the kiss ing literature : Give me kisses—all is waste Have the luxury of the taste. And for kissing—kisses live Only when we take and give. Kiss me, then, Every moment and again." There are poetic kisses and Pla tonic kisses—such as the beautiful ; Madame Recauiior gave to Chateau I britmd ; there are historic kisses— ; such as those recorded in the book of j Genesis ; 1 Solomon tells us about and treaeher ; ous kisses, that betray. And the jist seldom slips But it strikes a tender chord ; And a kiss was on the lips Of the wretch that sold his Lord. What is the sweetest kiss in the world? Who can tell? Passion puts a sting into its kisses—love is selfish—duty cold. The kisses of friendship are mere compliments. The kiss of re conciliation between those who truly love should be the sweetest of all kisses. There is a kiss that is the em bodiment of purity, innocence, and tender, trustful love. It is a fiuttcr j big, clinging, rosebud kiss, that leaves a memory as pure and loving as it self; it is the baby's kiss. "Mistress Mary, quite contrary. How does tue baby grow ? Colie spoils, and ears like shells, And kisses from top to toe." It is upon the baby's kisses that the heart of the mother lives. Oh, the I little ones that have been laid away I baptized with tears and kisses ! the \ kisses that were given not back agniu ! and yet which were so dear—-so ! dear. spiritual kisses—such as I "Dear, as remembered kisses after j death," says Tennyson. I There is ft pretty Icgcnrl that dimple in ids chin, laid j tlicre by an angel's kiss and whoever j he kissed would surely receive that I dimple, so the German says of one |wh 0 has dimpled Chiu," "She is I Christ-kissed. I The kiss of respect is given upon ! the fbre | lead that of admiration upon I Christ had It is said"men do not waste kisses the eyes ; that of beauty upon the ' cheeks. The kiss of love is given upon the lips. upon each other when they can do bo much better, but i chapter of the Bible some old pat riarch falls upon the neck of some other old patriarch and kisses him, and the father of the prodigal son ™" k *^«l him and ttrayl^ Ward Beecher kissed Iheodore lil , r ery other ton, and, however distasteful it may be, men do kiss each other at the pre 1 gel jj time when they meet after long absence and are closely related or . T J liave a Da vid and Jonathan sort of ° friendship for each other. The late Princess Alice, eldest daughter of Queen Victoria, and wife of an Austrian Prince, lost her life through a kiss ; two of her children died of diphtheria, and she could not resist the pleading of her dying boy : to "kiss mamma she kissed his pal • ing lips in an agony of mother love ai*d took the dread disease, which re-, suited fatally. No doubt the kisses of young lovers taste better than any luxury yet discovered—they must be spoony and innocent and untutored— for kisses like other nectar of other of the j.cds lise their flavor in time. "They stood above the world In a world apart, And she dropped her happy eyes And stilled the throbbing pulses Of her lmppy heart ; And the moomight fell above her Her secret to discover As though no human lover Had laid his kisses there." The dramatic kiss has attracted considerable attention lately. The way in which Emma Abbott kisses that handsome Castle, who plays "Paul" to her "Virginia," is too, too much ! It is accorded variously as "emotional," "paroxysmal,''"spontane ous," "absorbing," and everybody wonders when little Emma learned to kiss in that way. Sarah Beinhart makes a little rush at her vis-a-vis, and kisses him behind the ear before he ki vs wlnit it is all about. Mary Anderson's kisses remind an actor .vho plays with her of the time he when a boy, and now all the old boys are looking for froz^i lamp-posts to kiss. Here is a daring bit of senti ment : V "Up to her chamber window A slight wire troll is grows, And up this Romeo's ladiLr Clambers a bold white fuse. To her scarlet lips she holds him And kisses him nityrfy a time ; Ah me! it wnshcj'hut won her, Because he dared to climb." About Editors. Every editor loves to have his friends and particularly his readers, call on him. They belong to the same family, as it were. But when you call to see the editor don't stay too long. Editors J are generally very busy in business hours. If you have any suggestion to make, or news to communicate, state it in as few words as possible. Don't oder an excuse, or indulge in a long preface to what you have to say. Blurt it right out; tell the editor you wish him well, and bid him good-day. Edit ors dote on such men as that; they , . „ „ . T r love to receive cal, from then. Dont argue with him; don t try to do it; he has no time for argument while at his work. When you write to an editor for publication, make it short—boil it down. Pitch right into the middle of your subject and he sure to stop when you are through. Editors al ways like something fresh and origi nal in the way of communications, un.l are especially fund of nows. But j tho editor must always be the judge of what is worthy of publication. Of i course every writer thinks his own production the best, just as every mother thinks her baby the pret tiest that ever was horn. But the ... , . , , editor may he so stupid as to have a different opinion. If so, it cant he helped. Don't try to urge him out of liis notion. If lie is too stupid to i appreciate n good thing, you can't ex- ! pcet to remedy his dullness. You : mft y think I' 0 » ftre tt S ood dcftl 8niart I er ^ lan oditor, and that nmy be ,in,e > ' )ut l* 10 editor may be responsi -1 hie and you are not.

"I want to sec my mother," sobbed a poor little child, as the undertaker screwed down the jtop. "You cannot ; feet out of the way one take the ! boy ; why don't s brat ?' "Only let me see one minute!" cried the helpless orphan, clutching the side of the charity box, as he gazed upon the coffin, agonized tears streaming down the cheeks on which no childish bloom ever lingered. Oh ! it was painful to hear him cry the words, "Only once ; lit me see mother, only once !" Quickly and brutally the heartless monster struck tho boy away, so that he reeled with thf blow. For a meut the boy stood panting with grief and rage—his blu* eyes distended,his lips sprang apart, fire glistened through his eyes is he raised his lit tle arm with a moot unchildish laugh, and screamed : j "When I'm a ufon, I'll be revenged for that!" j There was a citfin and a heap of earth between th« mother and the poor forsaken i^ild—a monument •h stronger thin granite built in the boy's heart the. memory of the heartless deed, j * * * The court hoi. ß was crowded to suffocation. h "Does anyone ppcaras this man's counsel ?" asked ie judge.

Of course, the age has gone by in which man can find the satisfaction he U6cd to take in the mere brute sense of physical superiority to wo men. But has he got rid of the abo riginal desire to play the lord ? Hold ing fast in his hands the huilk of the desired positions in life, docs he look with satisfaction on the idea of wo men stepping in and claim ing a modest percentage of them ? The mental hypocrite who would assert that masculine majority'does. Poll the colleges of the land, and take the vote of the ehivalric students whether the young woman of the country should enjoy the same advantages of education with themselves. Nine to ten, they would black-ball the idea.

And it must he admitted that whole bevies of them are wonderfully attractive for these purposes. But suppose a certain portion of them do desire a broader education, and arc unhappily endowed with an amount of brain and enthusiasm that makes them restless and miserable under conditions that content the cverage. Do the ranks of man spontaneously divide for their passage through ; do the hats come off in respect, while the voices raise the "Halve Regina?" No, from the start the superior girl has to take an amount of snubbing from , her brother at home, society at large, | nm , tho ol . Uere in tho nml . ieal or other profession she aspires to, that would bluff oft' and dishearten half the boys and young men of the land. There arc, no doubt, notable exceptions to such disposition among men, and their number is increasing, Still the true knighterrantry of the age is, as yet confined to the limited few who, having conquered the se I ductive luxury of indulging in a cer tain intellectual-contempt for women or chivalrously addressing themselves to the rescue of distressed maidens set upon by a mob of vulgar and enslav mg prejudices. Madame Ste. Hilaire's Necklace. The wife of the great French naturalist, M. Geoffroy Ste. Hilaire, once lost a handsome diamond ncck lace, and the house was in an uproar in consequence of the vanished bau ble. Incidentally the naturalist mentioned that a favorite baboon, which he kept upstairs, had bcen .... , . I playing for some days past with a necklace precisely similar to the one described. He was indignantly 1 asked why he had not taken tho necklace from the animai, "I thought that it belonged to him," calmly made answer M. Geofli-oy Ste. Hil aire. Tho naturalist had lived so long with animals, he had become so thoroughly absorbed in their habits and idiosyncrasies, that he could sec no kind of meongnuty m a monkey possessing a diamond necklace.

In the city of Portland, Me., one of the leading auction and commis sion houses employs a porter who re joices in the name of Tim Ryan. Tim hud been noticed for some time to be rather indifferent to his duties ; and occasion of his negligence, replied': "To tell the truth, sir, I've had a little boy bora till me ; and I want to name him after both of yees, but I don't entirely get the suise of the being questioned as to the nn The dilemma in which the porter was placed was apparent ; and the members of the firm endeavored to devise a suitable cognomen for the 1 kidling. Tim continued dissatisfied, however, not withstanding the most ; ingenious splicings of titles. At length, one morning he was observed to bo unusually active ; in explana j tion of which phenomenon lie told ! his employers : "Me boy was christened last night, sir." "But," said the senior, "you must have had a name for him." "I did, sir." "How did you get over that diffi culty you had about it ; what did you call your boy ?' ' With a perfect radiant confidence, Tim answered : "Edward M. Patten & Co. Ryan, sir?" It Is needless to add that the firm "came down," in behalf of that little namesake, in a style worthy oi their reputation for generosity. ( all at once, any more than grace be I gets angels.

The life of a locomotive is only thir ty years. This is another warning to inveterate smokers. A young lady of this city calls an admirer who weighs close on to 250 pounds her Jumbeau. Archimedes invented the slang phrase, "Give us a rest," when he of fered to move the world with his lever. The poet who sweetly referred to the "sighing of the winds" should go out Wi st and experience a sighclone. It is only in New Jersey that the people speak of a "widow woman."
