As an old author lias quaintly said, * ‘It is certain nature was its author, and it 'began with the first courtship.'’ I think At was Byron who wished that all the •world had but one lip, that he might kiss .it; but the writer, and certainly many (readers hav seen lips which the whole wealth of the universe would not induce '•them to kiss. Yes, the kiss was certainly born with the first courtship. What hot ter authority can we have for this than John Milton, who thus describes Adam for the first time gazing upon live in the de lightful and delicious bowers of Eden, who “In delight Both of her beauty and submissive charms, Smiled with superior love, as Jupiter •sDn Juno Millies when he fmpregns the clouds That shed May flowers; and press’d her matron Up With kisses pure.’ Nature imitates mankind, and we see “Bow the trees enwreuthc Their arms, in amorous embraces turned ! The gurglings of the rill that runs beneath Are but the ki^es which it I mvc- behind; Davis M A While softly Highing through these fond ret r« ats Ddlurd mr The wan toil wind woos everything it meets.” Kills ft F Various, delicate and delightful are the j KJetclierC functions of the lips; but who can deny Folsom B K that the greatest delight derived from Fuller JF. them is in kissing? For a description of the style of lip made essentially for kiss ing, let us take words of a writer of some sixty or seventy years ago; “A lovely ’iiymjjh, in whose looks and lips the bows oi Apollo and Cupid seem intertwined and indented. She does not simper from af fectation, nor smile because it is becoming, nor compress her lips to hide a defective tooth, nor open them to display the sym metry of the rest; but her mouth has that expression which the painter of Dathyllus an the Creek anthology was instructed to -.catch, And give his lips that speaking air L urn J J (larrett mrs B Gilbert It Green C A George F Griffin D Maggins J llaskney A llotsficld J (col) Jlendison miss J M Hickey J Hightower J W Hightower J 13 Hicks A Hodges M _ Hogan misses B and B Turner miss J Levy mrs A M Lewis miss II Lofton P Lin miss J McCullough L McBain M A McLeroy J G' McMickins mrs N McWames in re J M Massey 8 ,J Metcalf II H Mills C W Mitchell J C Moore W B Moore W Newton J M Nelson E Parker B 13i Parrill mrs W M Pasure mrs E Payne miss R It Patterson iurs M L Patteieon E D Pierce E PettusJ H Pickens K B Porter II Reynolds W W Rents miss G Riels mrs A Rowels W Robinson E Scoven 8 Cl Slorter miss A Simpson F Slaughter W Sm it h SWA Smith miss It Snell mrs M Staples miss L Stewart miss P Stiles miss It M St urges miss I.)

Hers is the mouth, in short, which, to use an appro priate botanical phrase, conducts us, by a natural and delightful inosculation, to the .second division, or rather union of the sub ject-kissing.” There is no kissing, ani mate or inanimate, that has not its recom mendation; but let (lint pass in favor of a Few words concerning the CUSTOM OP KISSING, The story runs that kissing was intro- ■ducod Into I'jngland by Howena, the daughter of lleugist. the Saxon. At a banquet,, which was given by the British •monarch ill honor of his allies, the prin cess, after pressing the brimming beaker to her lips, saluted the astonished and delighted Vortig, rn with a little kiss, after the manner of her own people. So well did the kiss thrive in the genial climate of England, that, from being an occasional luxury, it s ion became an every-day enjoy vnciit. and the lltiglisli soon became cele brated, fur and near, as a kissing people. In fact, so far had their celebrity spread in this respect that when Cavendish, the • biographer of the “great: child of honor. Cardinal \Volscy,” visited a French noble man at his chateau, the lady of the house, on entering the room with her train of ■ attendant maidens, lbr the purpose of welcoming the guest of her husband, thus accosted linn: “Forasmuch as e ■ be an t .lglishman whose custom it is in your country to kiss all ladies and gentlewoin u without oU'onse,andalUiotigh •it bo not so here in this realm, yet. will 1 he so bold a-s to kiss you, and so shall all my maidens.” Whereupon the rafters of the ■obiiteau rung again with the tlEARTlNKSS OK THE OSCULATION. Among tlio few anecdotes of kissing to ibc found, a really good one is that, told of dtihttCardinal John of Lorraine. On being one day presented to the Duchess of Savoy, the lady, much to liis indignation, held out her hand to him to kiss. His ire was aroused. “How, madam,” he exclaimed; Vftin I to be treated ill this manner? 1 kiss '■ the queen, my mistress, who is the great est queen m the world, and shall 1 not kiss you, a dirty little duchess? I would have you know that I have kissed as handsome ladies, and of as great or greater beauty than vou!” Whereupon lie made u direct ■ irji ralt ON THE LIPS OK THE DUCHESS, -and, despite her resistance, imprinted three resounding kisses on her mouth, and then released her with a laugh of triumph. Some years ago an American humorist gave a conjugation of the verb kiss, as fol lows : Buss, to kiss; rebus, to kiss again; i iluribus, to kiss without regard to mini- lor; sillybus, the hand instead of the Ups; blunderous, to kiss tho wrong person; om nibus, to kiss everybody in the room, ere- bus, to kiss in the dark. A conundrum, send us the earthquake.’— Galveston (Tex.) which was thought much of in the early | News. ■days of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” ran in this ■wise: Which would you rather kiss, the pope’s toe or Harriet Beecher Stowe? Sir llunburv Williams, in a free—a very free— translation of this ode, thus gives tho part nf it material to kissing: *■Come, I'll toe! and give me sweet kisses (For sweet Tsure girl never gave); But why in the midst of our blisses Do you ask me how many 1 crave? Till not to be stinted in pleasure. So, prithee my charmer, lie kind; Fox since I love thee beyond measure. To numbers I’ll lie er lie confined! :'ouut tile herds that o’er Temiie are straving: Tlie flower, that enamel its tied For Women Only. Masculine girls are going down the bill of unpopularity with great rapidity now. As a rule the stout girl of the period In | the cape ulster look, a trifle comical, you know. Most tailor-made women look as if they had been cut out of a piece of wood by a very clumsy workman. The frocks of girls of 13 and upward are simply modified duplicates of the dresses of their older sisters. It has been often enough demonstrated that teaching a woman philosophy and higher mathematics will not necessarily make her a good housekeeper or even a pleasant, companion. Rumor says that instead of the inevitable ; fur-lined cloak for general wear we are to | have long circulars made of elder down handsomely covered and trimmed with bandsof fur of varied kinds. A Washington girl contemplating a group of terra cotta cherubs in the national museum, couldn’t resist the temptation to spank one of the figures that was conven iently doubled across the edge of a big vase. When ayoung man lias hud the honor of a thrashing from a beautiful young woman he gains a certain distinction us a masher, wbi di he pays for by being laughed at, But t lie Indy is laughed at, too. 1: is a big joke all around, with a square show for gossips. The successful use of the whip is something that is beyond the reach of the girls. To attempt it is dangerous; lirst, because it is an unwomanly and rowdylike act, and, secondly, because the girls who try it, as a rule, are not good girls. Once when Mrs. John Bigelow was in Florence she called on Ouida. Being ushered into a reception room she said in a rather loud tone to tlie attendant: “Will you tell Mile, do Ramee that Mrs. John Bigelow, of New York, would like to speak with her?” Hardly had the mes sage been given when a voice from tlie next room was heard in tones equally loud j to reply: “Tell Mrs. John Bigelow ol'New . York that I don’t want to see her or any I other American! I don’t like them.” Mrs. Bigelow rose and answered the invisible lady ol the house with: “You ought to be ashamed of yourself. We’re the only fools , that read your nasty books, anyway.” Iu another moment the two well matched women were face to face, and within half | an hour the novelist was| urging her ' American caller to become her guest. “Do t come and stay a month with me,” she i urged. “I should so enjoy studying your character.” “ ’Tvvould'do you good,” was I Mrs. Bigelow’s quick response; “you 1 don’t seem to have known any decent wo- ' men.” Tho (piostion riftlio Hour.

It is not only to your interest, but your duty, to critically examine everything that claims merit upon its face. Investigation exposes the weak and worthless, and brings to the surface the genuine excelsior. In trading, should you mention Gray’s name, and you are bored by a long-winded salesman whose tireless talk, long time and aristo cratic prices, which are perfectly matched by the old thread-bare of back-capping others’ goods, you at once see they cannot match our prices. Gray, buying for fiis four large stores, gets them so low that he has an easy task in riding rough shod over com petition and opposition, just like the Grecian phalaux under Philip o Macedon, who rode into the dust the ignorant barbarians of the desert. Having always put upon this market the latest styles, and kept the prices down at all times, we have now en larged our business in all departments, and invite an early cull. To these facts, and to the good sense and good taste of the people, we attribute the great increase in our trade this season—an increase that has excelled our most sanguine calculations. Grateful for this substantial mark of appreciation, we will endeavor to continue to de serve it by redoubled energy and enterprise. THE QUICK SELLERS, OIsT-TOP-LIVE-HOUSB, P. GRAY & CO. PHYSICIANS.
