THE KISSlMi BKK.
Back in the North Carolina mountains
the student of customs may still find ma
terial for rescaich. The most unique are
the kissing games, which still cling; to
the soil. A lot of big-limbed, powerful
J'ouiijj men and apple -cheeked, Luzom
girls gather and select one of their nutu
her as master of ceremonies, lie takes
his station in the center of the room,
while the rest pair off and parade around
him. Suddenly, one young woman will
throw up her hands and say:
"I'm ii-pinin',"
The muster of ceremonies lakes it up
and the following dialogue and interlocu
tion takes place :
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp says she's
a-pinin'. What is Miss Arabella Jamc
Apthorp a-pinin' fur?"
' I'm a-pinin' fur a sweet kise."
"Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp say she's
a-piniu' fur a sweet kii-s. Who is Miss
ArsDclla .Jauc Ant Horn a-pimu ler a
sweet kiss frum?"
"I'm a-pinin' fur a very sweet kiss
frum Mr. Hugh Waddle." (Blushes,
convulsive giggles, and confusion on the
part of Miss Arabella Jane Apthorp at
this forced confession.) Mr. Hugh
Waddle walks up manfully and relieves
the fair Arabella's piniu' by a smack
which sounds like a three year old steer
drawing bis hoof out of the mud.
Then a young man will be taken with
sudden and unaccountable pinin', which
after the usual exchange of questions
and volunteered information, reveals the
name of the maiden who causes the
gnawiu' and pinin'. She coyly retreats
outdoors only to be chased, overtaken.
captured, and forcibly compelled to re
lieve her captor's distress.
Atone of these entertainments which
it was the narrator's fortune to attend
there was a remarkably beautiful young
woman, who had been married about a
mouth. Her husband was present, a
luge, beetle-browed, blacked eyed young
mountaineer, with a fist like ham. The
hoys fought shy of the bride for fear of
incurring the anger of her bulking spouse.
The game went on for some time, when
symptoms of iriitaliun developed iu the
giant. Striding into the middle of the
room, lie said :
'My wife is iz pooty, V ez nice, V
sweet en any gyurl liyah. lou uui has
known her all her life. This game hi 2
wen a goiu' on half an hour an' nobody
has pined fur her oncet. Ef some oue
doesn't piue fur her pooty soon thar will
; trouble."
She was the bell of the ba'l n"ler that,
very-body pined for her.

VERY INDIGNANT.
TIIOIOHT I'K Clll-i.1) CONVERT Tin:
WllllLK ToWN IX A SHORT Willi, K.
Ntw York tinipliie.
The Hcv. Dr. F, W. Gunsaulus, of
Chicago, who is well known in this city
and llal.iinore, tells of an amusing epi
sode of his first pastorate, vTiih, by the
way, was in a town on long Island. "I
was full of enthusiasm in those days," he
Hays in telling the story, "and came nearer
to believing myself a great preacher than
I ever have since. This Long Island
town to which I was assigned was consid
ered ungodly; but with the optimism of
youth I bi'lieved that my eloquence would
scion reduce it lo a siate of innocuous vir
tue. Well, the day for my maiden ser
mon came around, and hc church wss
well filled. I was never more eloquent
than I was that day, and before I got
half way through my sermon I felt quite
coufident of converting the whole town
in short. Just then I saw a tardy brother
enter the church and weave uncertainly
up the middle aisle. It required no
second glance to see that, full as the
church was that morning, he was still
fuller. I was in hopes that he would
quietly drop into one of the seats near
the door, but my hopes were in vain.
"By walking up both sides of the aisle
he gradually got to the front pews, right
under the pulpit. It then occurred to
nie that I might prevent an unpleasant
scene by addressing a soothing and pleas
ant remark to my bacchanlian brother.
So I said in sympathetic tones, 'I per
ceive that the brother is sick. Perhaps
if he were to allow the seston to accom
pany him to (he door he would speedily
recover in the open air. I felt like con
gratulating myself on my diplomacy, but
the 'sick' brother seemed to misunder
stand my good intentions. Bracing him
self uncertainly ogainsta pew, andgaziug
at me with a look of pained and indig
nant surprise, he remarked in thick but
audible tones : 'It's a wonner to me
that thish (hie) bad preashin' doesn't
(hie) make 'em all sick ' This unholy
repartee made everybody laugh, and wh( n
I left the pulpit I had given up all
thoughts of converting the town by my
eloquent preaching."
JOGGING HIS MEMORY.
A clergyman in Iowa relates the fol
lowing anecdote, and, as he says, ought
to be a hint to all couples who arc going
to be married: A lady cal'ed upon him
and annouueed her name as Mrs. M
a widow living iu a distaut part of the
Staie. Her husband had been killed in
the Civil War, and she had applied for
a pension. But it was neceisaiy fo; her
to pr ive her marriage. This she had
not been 'ib'.e to do, as her mai riage cer
tificate was lost, and all the witnesses,
except the minister himself, were dead.
She had come a long distance to get
the minister's evidence, insisting upon it
that he was he Tson who had perform
ed the ceremony.
But I do not remember anything
about it, madam," said tho mini.-ter,
after listening carefull to tho woman's
story. "I have married hundreds of
people in the last twenty years, and I
cannot recall your case at all."
'Why. you must remember that even
mg. 1 wore a traveling suit, and uiy
husband was a tall mail with black
whiskers."
"But don't you remember, we came in
while you were at supper, and you asked
us to wait in the parlor a few minutes?'
"I dou't remember it."
"Don't you recall how my husband
was very much embarrassed, and during
the ceremony knocked a vase off the
table near which we were standing?
And then lie apologized right in the
middle of the service, and we all laughed
about it afterward."
"I dou't rcioiinliT even that. Other
things like it have happened since. Can't
you name something eW?"
Other litlle things were mentioned,
aud the clerevman hunted up all his olJ
letters and journals iu hope o." discover
ing something that would recall the cere
mony, and enable him truthfully to iden
lily the widow. Bui all in vain.
Finally, the lady, with some limitation
aud eoul'usion, said: There is one thing
that I am suie you cannot have forgot
ten. My husband had driven over from
the uext town. In his absent minded
ness he had left every cent of money at
home.
"Now don't you renii uibor that after
the ceremony he came up lo you as if lo
hand vou the renular fee, and then, in
stead of doing thai, ho stammered and
blushed, and filially asked you to lend
him five dollars with which to pay his
hotel till, promising to return the money
the next day- Surely you must remem
ber that!"
"Ah, yes, indeed, I remember that very
Weill" exclaimed the minister. And he
could not help adding, "I haven't seen
the money jet."
The widow received her pension short
ly afterward and not long after thai, I ho
minister received a ten dollar bill, with
tho words: "Payment for a good memo
ry." A small stock of gents' hundwme low
shoot at sacrifice. M, F. Hart.
JEFFERSON DAVIS'S HOME.
A VISIT TO IT .11 ST IIKPORK THK KX 1'HKsI
UKNT'S KHIHTV FIRST BIKTHHAV.
A col respondent of the Louisville
Oiiii iir-Jmininl, who visited "Beauvoir"
a day or two before Mr. Davis's recent
birthday, wrote as follows of his visit :
The air was full of the blue and gold
of summer, the other day, when I stopped
at one of the dreary little wooden station
houses that dot the railroad along the
(iulf coast. Painted above the door was
the wold "Bcauvoir," and I knew that
not a stone's throw beyond, hiddeu be
hind a wall of trees, was the home of the
hero of the Southern Confederacy.
I climbed a rustic stile, and following
a Well-worn path through a big scupper
uong vineyard, presently found myself
standing before an old-fashioned Southern
house with a hall running through it
and wide galleries clasping it in protect
ing anus.
The house faced the gulf, and is set
far hack in a lawn full of live oaks,
draped and festooned with Spanish moss,
and as the wind caught up and waved
the long peudants they looked like funer
al banners flying at perpetual Gulf-mast
for the warrior statesman, who was here
nding a life that after many victories,
knew the bitterness of hopeless defeat.
But the door swung open to me, and I
stood iu the hall full of pictures and cab
inets, old china, souvenirs of foreign
travel and the priceless tokens of affec
tion and honor shown a great man in his
own country. Then in a moment, Mr.
Davis has come forward to greet me, a
slight soldierly figure immaculately
dressed aod still showing in his walk and
bearing his long years of military ser
vice. His hair is short and thick and
silvery, lying about his thin temples like
au aureola, and his skin has the tiati-par-ent
delicacy of hue porcelain.
Such, in appearauce, is Jeff Davis at
81 in his quiet home by the sea where
the waters after a storm are not more
peaceful than his own life alter the strug
gles that convulsed it, and wheie even
the memory of his blasted ho es and
shuttered ambitions has almost ceased to
be bitter.
GiRL VIOLINISTS.
Says the New York Urn : "Women
ought to play the violin belter than men,"
said Ole Bull before he died, "for to play
the violin well a person must be holiest
aud truthful, and a woman is honest so
long as she has her way and truthful
until some man teaches her falsehood."
It was before au audience of kings and
queens that he paid this loyul tribute to
womanly character, and when some one
venture 1 to question his authority he au-
wered simply : ' How do I know wo
men are Honest at heart .' hy, my
mother was a woman. And Professor
Watson, a pupil of the j.reat master, con
curs with him iu the opinion that irirls
can equal and often excel their brotheis
iu proficiency, because, as the professor
explains it, "the viuliu is peculiarly the
instrument for soul music, and girls have
more soul, more inherent musical laste,
filler instincts aud feelings, more delicate
and subtle impressions and inspirations
which compensate to musical artists their
lack of equal muscular strength and dar
iug in handling the bow. Any one can
learn to play (he piano who has a correct
ear aud the energy and perseverance to
practice. You pound a piano, abuse it,
compel it lo do your will; but you have
to pet a violin and coax it lo speak the
language of your soul, aud girls know
how to coax better than anything else.
They are too gentle aud persuasive some
times, and the melody they produce is
sweet at the expense of strength."

THE BELLE OF THE HILL.
MR. AND MRS. CI.KVKI.ANIl-S PK:TTYSI M
SI MMI-U lluMK AT MAKIi'N, MAMS,
New York Mumlhtf Jmtritnl.
Nothing could be quieter lhau the life
led by ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland
iu their summer home at Marion. Mass.
They occupy a long, l-.w cottage, of beau
tiful design, on Little Hill, between the
upper ami lower villages, and about a
mile from the railroad depot. Aside
from the interest attaching to it through
its present occupants, the cottage itself is
interesting, having been designed by the
famous architect, ltichurdson, of Boston,
who dining his I'I'etiiiie, ranked unques
tionably the greatest in the country.
It is the propirly of the ltev. Percy
Browne, of Koxbury, Mass , u personal
f'liend of the great architect, who was at
the same time a parishioner of his, and
induced him to construct this, the only
small house designed by him.
The cottage is a two story dwelling,
with a rc-enUring porch that opens into
a hallway with the parlor on the light
hand a cbaruiiug little diuiug-rooui on the
left. A stoop on the extreme right of
the building admits one to the parlor at
that end, after ascending u few steps,
which adds much interest to the architec
tural effect. Everybody about the house
aud the parlor, the diniug room and the
hall are seen great bunches of wild flowers
from the fields, and more luxuriant though
not the more beautiful from the florists.
Mrs. Cleveland is a great walker, and
may often be seen strolling along the
hi;h roads, accompanied by some of her
neighbors, or driving into the woods on
either hand in search of wild flowers to
decorate her home.
I'pstairs are the sleeping apartments,
with sloping ceilings, and great dormer
windows opening out upon the lawn or
admitting the fresh, salt breezes from
Buzzard's Bay.
Seated in a large wicker chair within
the porch, a great St. Bernard dog curled
up at her feet, Mrs. Cleveland spends a
great part of the morning, when the
weather is fair, reading the daily fapirs
or the latest novel, and then strolls leis
urely over to tho studio back of lur
neighbor's bouse to chat with Mrs. (iiuhr
while at her art work or to have a romp
with the fair artist's lovely children.
The Clevelauds have takeii the house
for the months of June and July, aud
selected that quiet New England village
ou Buzzard's Bay for the purpose of en
joying absolute rest for a little while
Mr. Cleveland goes up every Friday night
by the Fall River Line and returns Mon
day night.
While iu Marion theex-President leads
a very quiet life. Occasionally he goes
sailing or fishing ou the bay aud is some'
times seen walking or driving about the
village, accompanied hy Mrs. Cleveland.
Ou Sundays they attend services in the
little village Congregational Church. Mr.
Cleveland's weekly journey to and from
Marion at. racks a great deal of attention
on the roads, though he tries in every
way to avoid it. People come up to him
all the time and it is ac.ually all he can
Jo to prevent the greetings of his friends
aud tho attention of those who desire to
make his acquaintance taking (he charac
ter of a public reception. As soon as he
reaches the steamir ho hasteus lo his
state-rooji as quickly a possible, hut can
scarcely escape the well intended iiupor
tunity of his admirers.
