He can view only his own track, while the oppposite track, save at a distance, is almost wholly unseen by him. Custom, owing to causes we know not of, has established these curious precedents, and from observation and education we unwittingly do thousands of things that are, to say the least, funny* and that we cannot possibly explain. I I ! The Art of Kissing. People will kiss. , , Yet not one in a hundred knows now to extract bliss from lovely lips any more than they know how to make dia monds from charcoal. And yet it is easy—at least, for us First know whom you are going to kiss. Don't make a mistake although a mistake may be good. Don't jump up like a trout for a fly, and smack ou her forehead, or the ear, or the corner ot her nose. The gentleman should be a little the taller. Heshould have a clean face, a kind eye and a mouthful of ex pression. Don't kiss everybody. Don't sit down toit. Stand up. Need not be anxious about getting in a crowd. Two persons are plenty to corner and catch a kiss; more persons would spoil the sport. , , , , . Take the left hand of the lady in your rieht ; let your hat go to—any place out of the way; throw the left hand gently over the shoulder of the lady, and let it fall down the right side. Do not be in a hurry. Draw lier gently, lovingly, to your heart. Her. left hand in your right; let there be an impression to that—not like the grip of a vise, but a gentle clasp, full of electricity, thought and respect. Don't be in a hurry. \ ou are heart to heart. Look down into lier halt-closed eyes. Gently, but manfully, press her to your bosom. Stand firm. Be brave but don't be in a hurry. Her lips are almost open. Leau slightly forward with the iiead—not the body. Take «rood aim. Tiie lips meet; trie eyes close ; the heart opens ; the soul rides the storms, troubles aud sorrows or life (don't be in a hurry :) Heaven opens before you ; the world shoots under your feet, as a meteor tlàshes across the evening sky (don't be afraid;) tiie heart forgets its bitterness, and the art of kissing is learned ! No fuss, no noise, no fluttering and squirming like hook impaled worms. Kissing don't hurt, nor does it require an Act of Congress to make it legal. A little maid of some eight or nine summers, while eating ice cream on a veranda on Chestnut street last even ing, electrified the others -similarly en gaged by remarking, " Mercy, how it tickles my teeth !'"—[Kingston Free man. • " Why," asked a teacher in the Sun (flap-tchool, " did Solomon tell the slug gard to go to the ant?"

We don't re member what particular state toe weather was in this last t.iiue, but Mrs. Boggs was under it, and she was under it very bad.

He had been through this experience a great many times before, so he wasn't so much alarmed as lie might otherwise have been. That night as he sat watching, like the affectionate husband lie was, at her bedside, she saw that he was deeply en grossed in a book. " What book are you reading, dear I she faintly asked. "A railroad guide, my love," was the 1C " What do you want with a railioad guide ? " she inquired. _ " I want to see how far it is to \\ ash ington, l J a., and how the trains ruu, said Mr. Boggs. . She would have asked him what he had to do with Washington, Pa., but he got up and went out, and she fell into a doze, the inclination to which she didn t care to repress, even though it delayed the final departure that she had so often prated about. When she awoke she saw Boggs bending over her with a can dle. He evidently hadn't obsorved that she was awake ; so, closing her eyes, she feigned sleep and overheard the follow ing soliloquy, which sufficiently ex plained to her now thoroughly awakened senses Iiis inquiry of the railroad guide about the route to Washington, Pa.: " Splendid subject for cremation—a lit tle scraggy (Mrs. Bogg's liugers worked nervously under the bed clothes, aud she had hard work to keep from flying at him,) but the scraggy ones incinerate quicker than the fat ones,-the doctor says.

Then she pushed Bojïgs out of the door and bolted it, and lie had to make up a bunk on the kitchen floor that night, next to the stove. But a peculiar smile played about Bogg's face, even when he was rubbing the sore spots on Iiis bald head, and murmured softy to himself, " Guess I've cured her of them spells for one while."

Old Winston was a negro preacher in Virginia, and his ideas of theology and human narure were often very original. A gentleman thus accosted the old gentleman one Sunday : " Winston, I understand you believe every woman has seven devils. How can you prove it?" " Well, sar, did you never read in de Bible how seven debbils were cast out of Mary Magalia ?" " Oh, yes ; I've read that." " Did you ebber hear of 'em bein cast out of any odder woman, sah ?

Tlie witnesses seemed prejudiced against poor Mr. Scroggs: Aud the District Attorney made a thrilling Rpeech, in which he told the jury that if tliey didn't fiud for the 8tat6 lie ceokoned he'd have to " walk thair logs," Then Mr. Smith arose and made nis speech for the defense, ' Wherein he quoted Shakepeare, Blackstone, Chltty, Archbold, Joaquin Miller, S tor}", Kent, Tupper, Smedes aud Marshall, and many other writers, and everybody said they "never heered #ielj a bust of elo quence." And he said: "On this hypothesis, my client must go free ; " ind' "Again on this hypothesis, it's morally impossible that he.could be guilty, don't you see t " . And: "Then, on this hypothesis, you really can't convict;" And so on wi th forty-six more hypotheses, upon none of which, Mr. Smith ably demon strated, could Scroggs be derelict. But the lury, never stirring from the box where in thev sat. returned a verdict of "guilty," und His Honor straightway sentenced Scroggs to a three-year term ill the peni tentiary, and a heavy fine, and the costs on top of that; And the prisoner, in wild delight, got up and daneed and sung; t And when they asfeea him the reason or this stvik&ge behavior, he said * " Its because I got off so easy, for if there'd ha been a few more of them darned hypothesises I Bhouid certainly have been hung !
