NO KISS.
“Kiss me, Will” sang Marguerite
To a pretty little tune,
Holding up her dainty mouth,
Sweet as roses born in June.
Will was ten years old that day,
And be pulled her golden curia,
Tonsingly, and answer made :
“I’m too old —I don’t kiss girls.”
Ten years pass, and Marguerite
Smiles as Will kneels at her feet,
Gazing fondly in her eyes,
Praying, “Won’t you kiss me,sweet?”
'Kite is seventeen to-day ;
With her birthday ring she toys
For a moment, then replies :
“I’m too old—l don’t kiss boys !”

THE DREAMLAND SEA.
What matter though my pilgrim feet
May never press the stranger’s land,
Or wander lone where wild waves boat
With ceaseless moan on ocean’s
strand ?
For me expands a lovelier deep,
Whose isles in visioned beauty sleep,
And never ocean waves could be
So bright as thine, fair Dreamland sea.
My castle orowns the boldest steep,
By warring winds and waters scar
red.
That seaward leans, and o’er the deep
Keeps evermore unceasing ward.
Full-freighted with their wings of snow,
The white ships come, the white ships
g<\
While in the shade of cliff and towers
I dream away the gliding hours.
With manes foam flecked and tossing
free,
The waves, wild coursers of the sea,
Race swiftly to the level ptraryl,
And struggling die upon the sand.
The shells that sparklo at my feet,
Strange talcs of wind and wave repeat
The weird romance, the mystery
Of the dark caverns of the sea.
My fairy fleet tha't long has lain
Close moored in some enchanted bay,
Borne by fair gales across the main
Sails swiftly on its homeward way.
My ships, my stately ships, I see !
Full many a royal argosie,
Like white-winged birds thoy speeding
come,
And bring their gathered treasures
home.
Pearls from the mermaid’s watery cell,
Pure gold from sunny orient lands,
With many a rosy chambered shell
And jewel wrought by elfiu hands.
Crosses and amulets ot price,
Of sandal-wood and sacred palm,
Embossed with many a fair device,
And odorous with tropic balm.
A Strong Constitution.
People who attain extreme old nge
have usually a certain toughness of
constitution which triumphs over inju
ries that weaker natures cannot survive.
The autopsy of the late Oapt. Lahbush,
whose age has been stated at one hun
dred and eleven years and twenty-five
days, furnishes new and remarkable ev
idence on this point. For sixty-ono
years he had been an opiumeater; at
the age of ninety his daily dose of gum,
or crude opium, was estimated at nine*
ty grains (Troy) ; but. the physieian
who attended him shortly before his
death represents the old man's daily al
lowance as only half that quantity. —
Capt. Lahrbush had a full allowance of
the ills that flesh is heir to, but seems
to have been strangely unconscious of
them. He had no symptoms of renal
disease, and ye* his right kidney was
gone ontirely ; its place being occupied
(and considerably more than occupied)
by a tumor the sire of a child’s head,
with a smaller tumor of similar kind at.*
tached. This fact does not seem to
have bet>n suspected before the diagno
sis made during his last illness. The
left kidney was contracted. There wss
a cyst in his liver. The heart was fat
ty. The walls of tho aorta were near
ly penetrated by several ulcerations.—
Ilis ribs were as soft as cartilage, so
that they could be easily cut with scis
sors. But trifles like these did not at
all affect his general health. He was
at last brought down with a congestion
of the lungs, contracted by exposure in
a storm. From that complaint lie was
slowly recovering, when an abcess for
med in hia thigh. Three operations
wero performed for the relief of the
abcess, and thirty-two ounces of fluid
were withdrawn ; this proved too much
of a drain upon his system, and he died
of asthenia—that is, general debility.
As he was a soldier of the First Napo
leon, he might have quoted that Gener
al’s famous remark about the Peninsu*
l&r war : ‘'That ulcer in my extremities
ate out my life.”
CnANGE op Opinion.—He that nev
er changed any of his opinions, never
corrected any of his mistakes ; and he
who was never wise enough to find out
any mistakes in himself, will not be
charitable enough to excuse what he
reckons mistakes in others. Dr.

Saving to Give. Frugality is

The first is leaving off superfluous ex~

Call)Ottn Simcs,
Bank President Ralston.
Mr Edmond L Goold, a guest of
Senator Sharon and a personal friend of
Ralston, gave Eli Perkins the following
inoident in the life of the unfortunate
California bank President, which af
fords a clue to his character.
Mr. Ralston in 1848 was a clerk on
a Mississippi steamboat. He was gen
erous and poor. One day he went into
the banking house of Luke & Martin,
in St. Louis, and accosting Mr. Martin
familiarly, said :
“I say, Martin, can’t you let me
have SSOO ?” :
“I don’t see how we can, Billy,” said
Mr. Martin, “unless you can give us
some security. Who can you get to en*
dorse for you ?”
Ralston scratched his head a moment
and admitted that he couldn’t get any
seourity. Said he : “Martin, the fact
is I’m broke—dead broke—but I’ve got
a chance to go in with C. K. Garrison
down at Panama, and I must have SSOO
to get there.”
After a while Mr. Martin decided
that he would lend Ralston SSOO on his
own account and run the risk of pay
ment, and giving it to him, Ra’ston
started down the river to join Common
dore Garrison. This was in ’4B.
“Did Ralston ever pay Marlin ?” I
asked Mr. Goold.
“I’ll tell you how it was,” said Mr.
Goold. “Ralston forgot all about it, or
else he lost track of Martin. But four
teen years afterward I met Martin in
New York. lie was broke then him
self—gone all to pieces—hadn’t a dol
lar. Ralston at this time was at the
meridian of his glory, spending money
by the millions. Well, one day Martin
came up to me looking very seedy, and
asked me if in my travels in California
I had aver met a man by the name of
Billy Ralston !”
“Billy Ralston ?” said I. “B-i-l-Ky
R-a-Ls-t-o-n 1 why I kuow a man by
the name of William A. Ralston—used
to be with Commodore Garrison in Pa
nama. It was Fritz, Ralston & GarrL
son in San Francisco, but now Ralston
is at the head of it.”
“Well, Mr. Goold, that’s tho same
Billy Ralston that borrowed five hur>
dred dollars of me down in St. Louis
in '4B. Do you think he could pay it
back gow ?”
“Pay it back ?” said Mr. Goold, “why
you're ioking. Pay it back ! Ralston
pay five hundred dollars ! Why,Martin,
Ralston can pay back five million dol
lars.” 1
“Well,” said Martin, “when you see
Billy in Frisco you jes tell him 'bout
me—and if he ain’t strapped and if
'twont break him up, 1 jes wish he’d
pay me that five hundred dollars.”
“The fact of it is,” said Mr. Goold,
as he told the story, “I thought Mar
tin was joking. 1 had no idea that
Ralston owed him anything. But when
I got back to California I thought I’d
banter Ralston about it. So ono day
whpn I was in Ralston’s room I said jo
kingly :
“You’re a nice fellow, Ralston, to be
cheating an old friend out of five hun
dred dollars, ain’t you ?”
“What do you mean?” said Ral
ston.
“Why, whan I was in New York the
other day a man by the name of Mar
tin—”
“What!” exclaimed Ralston, jump
ing to his feet, “Warwick Martin ?”
“Yes, Warwick Martin—”
“Where’s his address ? Here J” he
shouted to the cashier of the bank,
“telegraph ten thousand dollars to the
credit of Warwick Martin—quiekl” and
Ralston ( danced around like a crazy
man.
“The next day,” continued Mr. G.,
“Warwick Martin received a telegram
from Lee & Wallers, 54 Pine street, to
call and receive something deposited
to his credit.”
“By jingo !” said Martin to his wife,
“I'll bei Billy has sent me that five
hundred dollars. If he has, Betty, you
can pick out a silk dress at Stewart’s,”
and then ho hunied off to Lees & Wal
lers.
“I called to see about some money,”
said Martin, looking through the bank
screen at Mr. Lees. “You say I have
some to my credit here.”
“How much are you expecting, and
who from ?” asked the banker, careful
ly, as is the custom with people who re
ceived money by telegraph.
“I’m looking for fiye hundred dollars
from Billy Ralston,” said Martin.
“No five hundred to your credit
here,” said the banker, “but there is
ten thousand to Warwick Martin.”
“Ten thousand?” gasped Martin.
“Yes ; ten thousand dollars.”
“Well, ’taint me,” said Martin sor
rowfully, “it’s some other Martin, and
’taint from Billy, after all. Just my
luck !” and Warwick drew his hand
across his brow, and sighed with disap
pointment.
“If your name is Warwick Martin,
you can take this ten thousand dollars,”
said Mr. Lees.
“By Jupiter !” said Warwick, :.s he
narrated the incident to Mr. Goold ;
“I didn’t think 'twps mine; but I
thought of Betty—thought of the dress
I promised her, and then I took the
money and sneaked home like a cul
prit. i handed it to Betty, but I nev**
er smiled for two days, I was s6 afraid
the mistake would be detected. But
when I got a letter from Ralston him*
self,” said Martin, “I tell you there
was a high old celebration in our
house.”
“Did Ralston have a great funeral
when he died ?” I asked Mr. G.
/“Funeral, sir ! I should say ho did.
Why, I was in that funeral procession
I for four hours, and never moved out of
my tracks.”
“How was that ?”
“Why, the head came to a halt be
fore the tail started. It was the first
procession ever seen in San Francisco
where the tail processed four hours
without moving.”

Wanted to Kuow When the
Train Left.
Mr. Finkerty lives two miles from the
City KalL He has been talking of go
ing out of town on a visit, and Satur
day morning was the day set to go. —
Friday evening he picked up his daily
Free Press to look at the time-table of
the road he was to go on. There wasn’t
any time-table in it.
Then he swore.
He swore that no newspaper cared a
picayune for the convenience of the
public. He swore that, to his best un
derstanding, the time-table had been
left out to make room for other adver
tising. He hunted up several dailies,
sent t(< his neighbors and borrowed, and
at last found out that none of the roads
running out of Detroit advertised their
time-tables.
Then he swore.
He swore that it was a nice state of
affairs, and his coachman, gardener,
cook and chambermaid agreed with
him. He wanted to know whether
railroad trains were run in order to take
the conductor somewhere, or whether
they were run to benefit the public, but
the coachman couldn’t tell. Mr. Fink*
erty realized that he would have to come
down town.
Then he swore.
He swore that it would put him to
five dollars’ troub’e to find out what he
usefl to get in every issue of his paper,
but he came down town. It took him
half an hour.’ He got off at the City
Hall and asked a policeman what time
the morning train went out on the Pen
nywise Railroad. The officer didn’t
know, but referred Mr. F. to a respon
sible grocer.
Then he swore.
He swore it was curious that a gro
cer should know when the trains went
out, and when he entered the store the
grocer also thought iJTwas curious. He
recommended Mr. F. to go to the post
office, and in ten minutes the citizen was
there.
Then he swore.
Be swore at the colored porter who
superintends the sweeping out of the
building, and who couldn’t tell what
time any train came in or went out.—
He thought, however, that they wouid
know at the Free Press office, and Mr.
Finkerty came down here.
Then he swore.
He swore it was outrageous to climb
four hundred flights of stairs to be told
that no one here knew when the trains
went out. He was recommended to find
a ticket offico if he could, and he start
ed out on a hunt.
Then he swore.
He swore that he’d hunt this tewn
into Lake St. Clair before he’d give up,
and after inquiring of six men, four
boys and a hand-organ grinder he at
length found a ticket office. It was
shut
Then he swore.
Then he swore some more:
Then he swore until the innocent
whip-poorwiil ceased his mournful song
and flew into a knot-hole in a telegraph
pole to escape being called as a wit.

In an hour and a half from the time
he left home Mr. Finkerty was back
there. He kicked open his trunk, boot

dropped into a splint-bottomed chair,

CALHOUN, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 14. 1877.
“Nail keg ! Why, d’ye suppose I’d
come around here with a frog which you
could put into a nail-keg !”
“I suppose he’d go into a barrel,”
tremblingly remarked the sergeant.
“Gentlemen, you may have sailed
across Lake St. Clair,” coldly replied
the stranger, “but i#s plain to me that
you never shoved a boat through the
marshes. Would I fool away time on a
frog no larger than a barrel ! Would a
tag*boat chase such a frog?”
“I shouldn’t be a bit surprised if
this frog was as large as a hogshead,”
‘said the captain, “I’ve seen ’em up
there even larger than that.” r
“A hogshead 1 Gentlemen, I see that
you don’t 3are for this frog, you are
willing that I should ship it away to
some other town. Good-bye, gentle
men.”
“Hold on !” called the captain, hold
ing out his last cigar, “We believe
you, of course. If you said this frog
was as large as a wagon-box 1 should
believe you, for I’ve seen ’em up there
fully as large as that. Please give us
the dimensions of this frog.”
The man lit his cigar, took a pill
box from his vest pocket, and shaking
out a frog not over three days trans
foimed from a pollywog he quietly ob
served :
“Gentlemen, get out your tape

English Etiquette-
English etiquette demands the obser
vances of two rules in connection with
dinners, which it is the worst possible
taste to violate in any country, many
delinquents to the contrary notwithstan
ding. They are that all dinner invita
tious shall be answered at once—no
waiting to see if a pleasanter enjoyment
presents itself, and that the guest shall
be punctual to the hour specified. That
the success of the party depends large
ly upon these is self-evident. The next
important matter lies with the host or
hostess, to settle beforehand the correct
precedence, and, there is none, to con<*
sider which couples best suit each oth
er. There are several methods of ar
ranging the order in which the guest
are to go down ; one is for the host, be
fore dinner is announced, to introduce
each gentleman £o the lady whom he is
to take to dinner; but this has its in*
conveniences, and the wiser plan is
thought to be foi the hostess to dis
patch the guests herself, when the host
has given his arm to the lady he takes
down. Once arrived in the diniug
rooui, the host should tell each couple
as they appear where they are to sit.—
An experienced hostess always takes
special care not to seat husbands and
wives opposito each other. One
thing should never be forgotten. Ev
ery gentleman must place the lady he
escorts on his right hand. He should
always, when desired to take her to
dinner, offer her his right arm. Ladies
and gentlemen enter the room singly,
not arm-inarm, and the ladies retain
their gloves until they are sotted, put
ting them on again before leaving the
dining-room.
That Big Fr<tg,
It was remem Oerecl afterwards that he
had a sneaking, lowdown look, and the
boys were sorry that they didn’t arrest
him as the Nathan murde-er. He call
ed at the Ninth Avenue Station and
asked if they had an aquarium there,
and if they didn’t want a St.
Clair frog to put in it, and he add
ed :
“Gentlemen. It is a frog which I
caught myself, and he really ought to
be on exhibition. I never saw a frog of
his size before.”
“How large is it ?” inquired a ser
geant, instinctively glaaciug towards
the top of the coal stovo.
“Gentlemen, I hate to give you the
figures, because I’m a stranger,” repli*
cd the man.
“There’s some old whoppers up in
the lake,” put in one of the relief
squad. “I’ve seen ’em as big as a stove
cover, and even bigger.”
“Well, someone ought to have this
frog who can feed him up well,” said
the stranger. “I ain’t iriuch on natural
science, and I’ve seen about all there
is to seo, but this frog—great heavens 1
Some man ought to take him round the
country !”
“How did you catch him ?” asked
the captain.
“Run him down with'a tug and threw
a fish net over him.”
“And he’s a monster, eh ?”
“A monster ! Well, I don’t want to
give you dimensions. Three reporters
were at my house last night to get his
length over all, breadth of beam and
carrying capacity, but I wouldn’t let
them in. I don’t care for the glory of
the capture, but simply desire the ad
vancement of the general interests of
the State.”
“I’ve heard sailors tell of seeing frogs
up there as large as a nail keg, but I
thought they were lying,” observed the
sergeant.

He llal liis Name in the Paper.
Oh, no, a man don’t like to have his
name in print! It never flatters his
vanity at all ! The other day, while a
man from Norwalk was doing up some
Commercials a reporter said :
“Ah, my friend, we put your name in
print, did we ?”
Then tho Norwalker looked up, and
assumed an important, cynical air as he
said :
“My name in print! Humph. I’d
be a fool to save a paper because my
name appeared in it. If I saved all
the papers that had had my name in
them, I would have enough to fill a
barn. There was an article in the pa

would interest some of my friends.—
That’s why I was marking those pa

put my name in the paper, but if you
have done so I do not thank you, for it.
