Mr. James Minor, a wealthy hachc- lor of Nelson county, Kentucky, is literally a tire-liuunieii luau. \Vhen a child, Mr. M’nur’s toother was neef- dentally tunned to death. At the decease ot hi. lather he inherited th. homestead larin, the dwelling oil which was at that dny one ofihe tint est resiliences in Walton county, hav ing been erected at a eustot #10,000. It caught fire and was consumed to ashes. He erected a new home at a like cost, only to become in its turn food for the hungry flumes. He sub sequently engaged in the lumber busi ness, end lost a large and vnluahlo lot of lumber by fire. He then visited h'« brother, residing in Holt’s Bnt. I tom, ibis county, and in two nr three I days altor his arrival (lie dwelling oi l ths latter was consumed by fire. Ila then went 10 Kansas to visit his step mother, and while they were converts ing about tho strange fatality that seemed to dog him through life, the . kitchen of her house burst into flsmet. Returning to Kentucky ami visiting at the boase ofa relative in bis native oounty, while tho family were discus sing his bad luck the kitchen of that house was also discovered ’to be on lira. From thence he proceeded to Tint the family of another relative in tho same county. A broom in the room wae ignitei by aapaik from the lira, whereupon the young lady otjthe house remarked that she had left some fire in the parlor and she would go and aee it everything was right. Opening the parlor door the apart ment waa discovered to be in Same*. puts a sting into his k'sse«—love is selfish—duty cold. The kisses ol friendship are mere compliments. The kiss fit reconciliation between those who truly love should he the sweetest of ail kisses. There is a kiss i hat is the embodiment ot purity, in- uoeence, and tender, trustful love. It is a fluttering, clinging, rosebud kiss, that leaves a memory ns purs and as itself; it is TUKIIAST’s Kits. 'Mistress Msrv, (|ult. ovmrsrv, How does the bsb, itrowT Coliospells, .miser, like .hell., And kiMcs ireia toptotne.’ It is upon the baby’s kisses that the heart of the mother lives. Oh. the little ones that have been hid awav baptised with tears and kisses! the kisses that were uiven not back again and yet which were so dear— so dear. ’Hear, as remembered kisses after death,’ say. Tennyson. Tho kiss ol respect is given upon th. forehead; that ot admiration upon the eyes; that of beauty upon tho cheeks. The kiss of love is given upon tho lips. It is said men do not waste kisses upon each other when they can do so much better, hut in every other rltnp- ter of tlio llible some old patriarch falls on tlio neck of some other patri arch and kisses him, and tiiu lather of the prodigal ran and kissed him. Tho late Princess Alice, eldest daughter ot Queen Victoria, and wile ot an Austrian prince, lost her file a year or two ago through a kiss; two of her children died of diptheria, and she could nit resist the pleading of her crying buy to ‘kisa mamma; she kissed his palling lips in an agony of mother love and took tho dread disease whicli resulted fatally. No doubt the kisses of young lov ers taste better than any luxury yet discovered—they must be spoony and innocent and untutored—for kisses like other nectar ot the gods, lose their flavor in time. ’They .tooil shove ths world In » world apart | And th. dropped hor hippy eye., And .till..I the throbbing pul.M Of her hippy hurt; And the uiuoottglil f.
