Til E DKOP THAT RUNNETH 0VE8 WHEN THE CLP ' LOVE IS FULL Some yem ago the following defini tions of a kiss were publinhcd.and they sre here reproduoed, being considered well wonh the place given them. A kiss is an insipid and tastelesa mor sel, which becomes delicious and delecta ble in proportion as it ia flavored with love. The sweetest fruit ia the one of love. The uficntr plucked the more abundsnt it grows. A thing of ue to no one, but much prized by two. The baby's right, the lovor's privilege, the parent's beuison, and the hypocrite's mask. That which you cannot give without takiog, and cannot take without giving. Tbe food by which tbe flame of love is fed. The flag of truoe in the petty wars of courtship and marriage. The acme uf agouy to a bashful man. The only known "smack" that will calm a storm. A telegram to the heait in which the operator uscb the sounding system. Nothing divided between two. Not enough for one,, just eoiugh fur two, too much for three Tbe only really agreeable two-faced ac tion under the buo, or tbe moon either The sweetest labial of the world'a lan- A woman'a most tffociive argument, whether to cajole the heart of a father, control the humora of a husband, or con sole the griefs of childhood. Simelliiog rather dangerous, Something rather nice, Something rather wicked, Though it can't be called a vice. Some think it naughty, Others think it wrong, All agree it's jolly, Though it doean't last long. A kiss from a pretty girl ia like having hot treacla poured down your back by angels. The thunderclap of the lips, which inevitably follows the lightning glances of (be eyes. A report at headquarters. Everybody's acting edition of "Romeo and Juliet." What the child receivea free, what the young man steals, and what the old nan buys. That in which (wo heads ire better than one. A DOWRY QUESTION- Crawfoid "I expect to get my daughters wall married by giving them a good education." Crabahaw,, I think you'd auocicd better if you gave them the money the education would coat."

An Old Favorite A RECIPE FOR SALAD By Sydney Smith THE name of the Rev, Sydney Smith (born 1771. died 1845) has come down to us aa that of the KPeatuHt of KiiRlinh wlta, and stories of hia (Uilt'kiicHB of iniiul are still wrltterr and told. He was educated At Winchester and Oxford and held various livings In the Church of England. Smith was one of Hie fouudera uf the Edinburgh Hevlew, its Unit ed itor and one of its chief contributors for twenty yearn. Edward Everett says of him, "If he had not been known as the wittiest man of his day, he would have been accounted one of the wisest." T O make tbla condiment your poet bets The pounded yellow of two hnrd-bolli d cckr; Two boiled potatoes, panned through kitchen sleva, Smoothness and noftiiesn to the salad give; Let onions lurk within the bowl, And, half BUBpcctcd, nnlnuite the whole; Of mordant mustard add a hIiikIc npoon. Distrust tlio condiment that bltea too soon; But deem it not, thou nmn of herbs, a fault To add a double quantity of salt: Four times the spoon with oil from I.uccu crown, And twice with vinegar, procured from town; And lastly, o'er the flavored compound toss A magic noufifOB of anchovy sauce. O green and glorious! O herbaivous treat I 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat; Back to the world he'd turn his tleetlng soul, And plunge his fingers In the snlad bowl; Serenely full, the epicure would say, "Fate cannot hnnu me I have dined to-day." COLOR LINE IN BANDS. Orleans' objections to color id MEN'a MCSIC IS REBUKED BY TUK RALEIGH POST. Those who have chargo of the local arrangements for the Confederate re union at New Orleans very properly want music and call for twenty bands. The bands of the city all beloog to a uoioD, and some of them are composed of oolor ed people. To supply the tweoty bands called for makes it Decenary to include some at least of the negro artists, and this the local managers object to, and ave been notified by the union that un less they accept tbe negro bands along with the white they can march without usic. Where the objestion to the colored musicians can come lu wo tai to ace. Tbey are only be employed (or their tuus- , and nothiog more, and we venture to say they will furnish more really inspir ing, hcartliftiog music than all the other bands composed of foreigners as they aro ever dreamed of, and more reaching after the Southern heart. Why, the only distinctive American usic to-day are the Southern negro melodies. And when did Southern peo ple cease employing the colored band, string or tooting instrument, or both, (or their strictly social functions? We ave danced all night till broad daylight and gone home with girls ia the morn ing to tbe inspiring strains of Old Frank Johnson and Pdhipey Long, and they ave successors who are quite as respon sive to demands upon them. If our belles ml beaux can afford to step to tbe music of colored bands, we old veterans can fford to march to the strains of "Dixie," Mocking Bird," or the "Suwaoee Bib ber," when rendered by our own South ern darkies, and if any one on earth ever threw his soul into his music it is our Southern negro when he is gloryiog elujah, touching the light gnitar or tooting a familiar Southern melody on horn. Let the committee of arrangements go on with its business. The Old Yets are willing for tbo sons of their old planta tion darkies to make music for them any- here. mil ru MARKS OF A TRUE GENTLEMAN By FREDERICK WILLIAM FARRAR, Dean of Canterbury T is not difficult to point out the characteristics whioli distinguish a true gentleman, whatever may be his rank, from one who has no claim to this appella tion, however high may be his birth. Whenever a man in society is guilty of obtru five self assertion; whenever ho tries to monopolize attention by thrusting himself into tho conversation of others; whenever his talk is almost exclusively occupied with himself and his own do ings, ha shows at once that, in the true sense of tho word, ho is not a gentleman. If, again, he shows no consideration for the feelings of others; if ho ignores their susceptibilities; if his conversation has no delicacy or reserve in it, he will at once be recogniy.ed by all present as lacking in the qualities of a gwitleman. A delicate ympiithy, h refined desire to give no needless pain by heedless re marks, a fine regard for tho feelings of others, a bearing full of foiirteav which has not in it the lust touch of condescension all theso are marks of a true gentleman. a? it IT MUST NOT FOR A MOMENT BE SUPPOSED, HOWEVER, THAT THE DELICATE CONSIDERATE NESS OF A GENTLEMAN WILL EVER PREVENT HIM FROM THE STRONGEST DENUNCIA TION8 OF EVERY FORM OF FLAGRANT INIQUITY. TO BE A GEN TLFMAN DOES NOT MEAN TO BE TIMID OR TO ALLOW THE PREVALENCE OF GLARING EVILS TO GO UNREBUKED. Care for tho feelings of others in all ordinary matters doc not inmlv the timidity and nonchalance of those who aro content to ace iniiiuit.v abounding on every side of them mid yet who di: net care to ruUc a voice for its exposure and suppression.

ON SHAKING HANDS- Did you ever stop to think about tbe custom of ahakiog hands, and wendir by it is that we always shake the right hand? Probably you have never thought ibout it at all, or, if you have you think that the only reason for using your right band ia that you were taught not to use ysur left one, says tha Buffalo Courier. Io reality this cuitom now so common is very ancient one, and it originated in this way: In the days when people were not as peaceable as tbey now are, and when taeh man settled his quarrels in bit own way, every man carried a aword or dagger to defend himself. Tbe sword wai worn on bis left aide, wbete the right hand could quickly grasp it for use o lime of peiil. Therefore, when a man wished to how that he wai friendly, he extended hii right hand, which would be elapsed by tbe other i right hand, if he, too, meaot peace. Thus each could be sure that the other would not draw his sword. With the dawn of more peaceful times the custom lost iti one-time purpose, but it Mill retains its original meaning to show friendship OABTOItlA, Baantlw ye Tin KinJ Vou Haw Hlways Bougtit OUT OF OOOR LIFE FOR WOMEN POWDER Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE A Bad Breath A bad breath means a bad stomach, a bad digestion, a bad liver.

In a uiionte he was back and I was as tonished at his actions. "'I have put it in my private box,' he continued, 'where it will be cafe, and in the morning you can make the deposit if you want to. "Next morning the bank's failure was announced. "I hurried to Charley's bouse, which was nerr bv, and asked him about the aok. Yes, it has failed and won't pay cent,' ho said 'Just five minutes be fore you oamo in with your money yes terday the directors decided n't ti open this morning. I was told to give out no information until business hours today, and that is the reason I didn't tell you If you had made your deposit, the mon ey would have all gone. Now it is sale n my box, and you can have it any mo ment you please.' I did get it, aod it was the founda tion of my fortune. Tho man who was iust here ia that Charley a-d was the teller who saved my capital lor me."
