There is a jolly Saxon proverb, 'hat is very much like this, That a man is half in heaven When he has a woman’s kiss. But there's daneer in delaying And the sweetness may forsake it; 8o L tell you, bashful lover, If you want a kiss—why, take it. Never let another fellow Steal a march on you in his: Never let a laughing maiden See you spoiling for a Kiss. lere's a royal way of kissing, And the jolly ones who make it Have a motto that is winning: If you want a kiss—why take it Any fool may face a cannon, Anybody wear a crown ; But a man mnst win a woman It he'd have her for his own. Would you have the golden apple, You must find the tree and shake it; 1f the thing is worth the having, And you want a kiss—why, take it. Who would burn upon a desert With a forest smiling by?

[ wish I could tell you the details concerning the improved tenement houses erected in Brooklyn in 1877, in_the construction of which ‘are observed every written and unwritten law for the safety, comfort and moral purity of their inmates. They are filled the year round, and, though “they house over 1,100 souls, thoy mhl not a feather's weight to the city's burden of crime. As against these new tenement houses, erccted with every regard for the health of the occupants, I would like to_tell you in detail of the burden of crime emanating from hundreds of other common tenement houses, the Propvr(y of reputable citizens, but where ilth,degredation,crime and death abound. If I could tell you of the noble work per- formed by the ladies of New York in an organizution known as the Health Pro- tective association yoa would not under- estimate the value of the good work they have done on the east side of the city among the tenement houses. It is estimated that the saving to the United States in a year through measures taken for the prevention of the spread of contagious disenses is about three hundred thousand dollars. The work of sanitary science clubs among our college graduates seems 88 necessary in our Kruscnt state of pub- lic ignorance as is the influx of oxygen intoa gymnasium. Tous as educated women, as representatives of enlight- ened thought, kindly concessions are made everywhere, more than overbal- ancing the disadvanta, of our youth and small numbers. The reforms which we may ussistare like the great labor- saving inventions—the cotton gin, the steam engino, the telegraph—their re- sults recommend them. It will be the fault of the indiscreet, the too timid in- diyidual, if college-bred women do not make themselves a strong factor 1n that great home, nussionary enterprise, which nims by banishing ignorance, thriftless- ness, avarice, impurity, from our own homes, by regenerating the heathen who live in our own cities, to create the_true Balvation army whose motto. ‘‘Mens Rana‘in corpore sano,” may n, even within the time of our grandchildren, be blazoned from pole to pole. The Mother-in-Law. It would certainly seem that if a man truly and deeply loves his wife he should at least respect and esteem the woman who brought her into the world, who ained her in childhood, watched over and guarded her girlish years, and to whose loving carc and solicitude he must mecessarily pay tribute for making her the sweet, lovable being who captared his manly heart, saysa writer in the Toledo Blnde. Yet if we are to believe the funmakers, the mother-in-law is the xact opposite of her daughtar in all gmgs. She is ugly, the wife is beautiful; she 18 cross and ill-tempered, the wife sweet and angelic; she is everything that the wife 1s altogether lov- a view is not consistent. lfish being, especially when he is in love. There are a great many youufi men who cannot bear to have their fiancees or wives admired by other men without fecling a pang of silly jealonsy. Such a man wants to be iterally the girl's “lord and master." She may not look sidewise at any one else of the male persuasion, and she is expected toburn eternal incense on the altar of his own superlative excellence. Such men are a thousand times more ex- ncting than women usually are in this re- spect. We all know the genus. There are plenty of specimens everywhere in this country, Giyen a young husband of such s dis- position, and e'ou may bLe certain that he will chafe and fret and fume because he finds that lus wife is intluenced in the slightest by her mother.

Madame Christine Nil on, now Count- ess Casa Miranda, was informed by an astrologer that she would have trouble from two causes—fire and lunatics.

She stated that her mother was the descendant of Ben Cleveland, the hero of King's mountuin, and that she would like very much to meet the wife of a president of that name. The next morning came a reply from Mrs. Cleve- and cordially inviting the hittle girl and her mother to call the next day at noon. They went and were received by Mrs. Cleveland in the kindest manner possible. She took them into her private parlor and insisted on their feeling perfectly at home. Miss May carried with her an autograph album, the gift of Paul Hayne. She told Mrs. Cleveland she did not al- low any but distinguished persons to inscribe their names on those pages, and asked her autograph. Mrs. Cleveland smiled and wrote a pleasant wish, to which she appended her graceful sig- nature, A Western Senator's Wife. New York Letter to Philadelphia Press: There has been a good deal of curiosity among New York people reznrdilfll‘: the beauty of Mrs. Governor Davis,of Minne- sota, whose husband has just been elected United States sonator, and -about whom the western people rave as the handsom- est woman in the northwest. Mrs. Davis was out on Fifth avenue recently, and the ladies on the gromenade, as well as the men in the club windows craned their necks to watch as she passed by. She 18 a well formed woman,-of little more than average b , With a strong and elastic step, and a fair complexion, rosy cheeks and lustrous eyes. She is noted at home for her skill in_horsemanship. She was attired in a walking suit of black velvet, corded after the French fashion over the front of the waist. A French made hat of the same material gave her a distin- guished appearance, and in contrast to the black dress was a short collar of long white fur and a muff of the same, which she carried in her hands. Senator Davis greatly resembles General Ben Butler, and might easily be mistaken for a son of the achusetts politician. Three Women of Remarkable Age.

She was born in the year 1778, near Richmond, Va., and came to his locality many vears ago. This re- markable old lady has liyed during the administration ot every president of the United States, and until recently could recall many incidents of interest con- nected with the history of the past 100 years, Her health is good, but her senses of seeing and hearing have almost left her and reasen 1s fast taking its departure, Her son, William, however, nossesses a mark by which she always recognizes bhim, he having a broken tinger. Whenever she shakes hands with any one she always feels the fingers to see f she is ‘shaking bands with William," Mrs. Arnold has a sister, Mrs. Eliza- beth Hillard, nee Shriver, who lives in Towa, und 15 112 years of sge. She also has anothier sistér, Mrs, Susan Bailay, of Dakota, aged ninety.six years. [twill thereforo be seen that the sombined ages of these three ancient sisters is 817 years, or un aversge of about oue hundred and ! six years cach.
