KISSING GAMES.

THEY ARE GOING OUT OF USE.

'SOME SAMPLES "WHEN WE WERE BOYS AND GIRLS TOGETHER." rl-

v"'^

There has been foi the past twenty years a certain indication in social life that kissing gauies were growing into disfavor. Tbey were too boisterous to suit the more refined taste of the community, and just a little rustic, besides allowing rather a broad license to amatory young rnon in their relations to'warda the fair sex. A kissing game in these enlightened days would be a retrogression toward rusticity, but it had, when it existed in its prime of being, a sanction inspired by a poetic and romantic source. It was tbe outcome of a period whetf rural and unsophisticated youth had simply carried the games of childhood into adolescence, and joined hands in a grown-up "Ring Around the

Rosey,"or "Green (irow the Rushes, O," with the accompaniment of kissing. These were the love games so popular in the Middle States in circles where cards were looked upon with holy horror,and dancing consiaered a sin. The young people could not sit out an evening with folaed bands, and the games had been in favor with their parents and grandparents. and they gave thei/ youthful spirits, longing for fun and entertainment, a chanee to make merry without the prospect of a reprimand from church and State. There were verses to all these games that were as simple and formless as possible, but they were sacred with age. They had come from a foreign country and been translated into an Anglo-American tongue. The most .popular of these metrical compositions is called "The Knights of Spain," and there are few middle-aged people who will not find a Hue or two of it yet lingering inHheir memories no matter what language they speak The yerslon runs thus:

We are three brothers from Spain, !v tj, Gome to court your daughter Jane. ":?K.'

My daughter Jane is yet too young To be oourted by your flattering tongue. There is a controversy then between the mother tftad her daughter aato the eligibility of the suitor, and thd daughter is bought, not with gold as in the rhyme, but with a kiss.

Another favorite love or kissing game is the widow with daughters to marry. One of the parties is selected to represent tbe widow all tbe other girls follow her in single file as she walks round singing: There eomes a poor widow from Barbary land, With all her children in her hand One can brew and one can bake, And one can mo ke a wedding-cake.

Pray take one,

Pray take two. k_ "4Pray take one that pleases you. Another version of the "poor widow" rhyme leaves her only one daughter: Sister, O Phoebe, how happy we be, Am we go under the Juniper tree: We'll put on our nightcaps, to keep our heads warm, And two or three kisses will do us no harm,

I am a poor widow, a-marching around, And all of my daughters are married but one: So rise up my daughter and kiss whom you please. And kiss whom you please to marry. "Philander's March" is another game done with much ceremony of marohing and kissing. tH "Come, Phllaneer, let's be a marching, Every one his true lovt1 sarchlng, Choose your true love now or never, And be sure you choose no other.

O, my dear, how I do love you: Nothing one irth do I prise above you With aki s, uovv lei me greet you, And I will never, never It&ve you."

An innocent and popular amusement for the winter evenings used to be counting apple seeds. There was always cider to drink and apples to eat at the young people's gatherings, and much amusement was derived from eating an apple with a favored suitor, and counting seeds to this formula: "One I love,-

Two I love, three I love, I say,. Four I love with all my heart, And Ave I cast away Six he loves, "l Seven she loves, Eight they both love V"1 Nine he eomes, Ten he comes, t. Eleven he courts, Twelve he marries." ,v. A rather silly love game is Little Sally Waters, the heroine of a favorite dance in present vogue. Tbe girl is the center of a ring of young people, seated on a chair, her faoe covered with her hands. Tbe "ring" gives the song and when the singers come to the word "rise'she tarns to the one she has selected and salutes him:

Little8ally Waters. ,-#f Sittimi in the sun, Crying and weeping

For a young man. Rise, Sally, rise, Dry you weeping eyes r*" Fly to the east, Fly to the west, Ply to the one that you love best."

Newell, in his exeelientcompilation of games and songs, says of then* games: Kissing games were* as familiar in the cla*«ic period as in later time for Pollux quotes the Athenian ronnc .poet Cratee as saying of a coquette, that she "plays kissing game* in rings of boys, preferring the handsome ones."

The romping which accompanies a kissing game was the means of bringing it into contempt but it would have been a very tame affair without it, and the youth who wald take a kiss without chairing thecny damsel round and round the room, and wreeting it from her lips bv force, would wwreely have valued it. The well known game of pillow la the last one of tbe "Id kissing gaone to die.

A-

James' hon. is still

used at children's parties, and is very musical in its recitative motion King William was King James' son,

And all tbe royal race he run ,4 Upon his head he wore a star— Star of the East, Star of the West. Star of tbe one that yon love best. If she's not here dont take her part, Bit chose another with all your heart. Down on the carpet you must kneel, As the grass grows on the field Sal ate your bride and kite her sweet, And rise again upon your feet.

The demerits of the games of the past were atoned for by the fact that they broke the social ice at parties, and allowed tbe half-frozen young people the liberty of motion, and led them into graceful evolution, and freedom of limb, that has found a counterpart in tbe later and universal accomplishment of dancing. It was rather inconsistent in the guardians of tbe youth of the past age, to object to the waltz and countenance a promiscuous game of kissing, but it is possible that the harm in either is supposed by theory rather than practice, and tiie surest way to eliminate wrong from an amusement is to take it into the family circle under the vigilant eyes of fathers and mothers, and give it the sanction of domestic usage. A circle of young people Bitting in solemn state, indulging only in conversation, have more opportunity for envy, hatred

and.maiice,than

they possibly could t.nd time for if running around the room shouting, "nutton! Button! Who's got the button?"

WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS

WHO THEY WBRE AND HOW THEY SHONE AS THE FIRST LADIES OF THE LAND.

Carp's Washington letter in the Cleveland Leader says: The Fillmore will case, in which Mrs. Fillmore's sanity is in dispute, recalls the fact that Mrs. President Lincoln became insane before she died, and that Martha Washington herself acted queerly, shutting herself up in a room at Mount Vernon without a fire for eighteen months, and letting no one see her except the cat, which came through a hole which she cut in the door this purpose. Tbey have not been a wonderful set of women, these Presidents' wives. Dolly M. Madison and Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams, were perhaps the best Of them. President Madison's wife was much younger than her husband, and she bossed the white house when she was its mistress. She knew how to entertain, and the days of her administration were its gayest. After her husband died, she lived here on the corner of 20th street and the avenue and kept an open house. Mrs. Adams was a preacher's daughter, and was well educated. President Monroe's wite was a wealthy New York lady. Thomas Jefferson's wife died before he was elected President, as did also those of Van Buren and Arthur. Andrew Jackson's wife, who was a plain, pious methodist, died of joy over his election, and John Tyler'b first wife died while he was in tbe white house. Tyler was the only President who married while in the presidential cbair, and his wife married in 1844 is still living, and is in Washington to-day. President Pglk's wife was a Presbyterian, while Polk was a Methodist. Buobanan was an old bachelor1 having been disappointed in love in early life. President Johnson's wife was an invalid, as was also too wife of Frank Pierce. Mrs. Johnson was not a finely educated woman, and it is said one reason why she did not come out more, was that her husband was a&hamed of her} Mrs. Hayes Was willeducated and quite religious. She attended the Foundry Methodist church and bad psalm-singing at the whitehduse on Sunday evenings.

MARRIAGE SUPERSTITIONS. Superstitious fancies have clung to tbe marriage ceremony through all ages and in all countries, and even the brides of to-day pretend to be influenced bv them,

Certain days were considered lucky and oertain other days unlucky. These days and seasons were designated by rhymes, which went very far to perpetuate the superstitions. Even at the present day we hear quoted such couplets as the following:

Wednesday the best day of all, Saturday no luck at all. Who marries between slekle and scythe Will never thrive. "From the marriage in May All the brains die and decay. Marry in Lent mf' And you'll live to repent W In the earliest weddings among the Jews the fourth day of the week was considered an unlucky day for virgins to wed and the fifth for widows.

The Romans regarded June as the most propitious month of the year for matrimony. In many countries May marriages were considered unlucky. In China marriages are positively prohibited at certain times and seasons on account of their being unlucky.

There was at one time a superstition current in England against marrying on Innooents' Day—the 28th of December—a day of ill omen, because it was tbe one which commemorated Herod's massacree of the children.

It used to be considered lucky if the initials of a wedded couple spelt a word. It was considered unlucky if the bride's family name began with the same letter as that of her husband To change the name aud not the letter, Is a change for Hie worse and not for the better.

The Lord Mayor of London was only a porter in a warehouse, bnt he persevered in the faQt of all opposition and rose rapidly. If is only persistency and merit that has made Dr. Boll's Cough Syrup the greatest family remedy for coughs and and colds now offered to the suffering public.

RATHER MONOTONOUS. "How glad I am to see you my dear," exclaimed Mrs. D. to the bride of a year. "And how do you like married lifer"

€,I

am very happy, but after all married life is awfully monotonous." "Indeed, I never fonnd it so." "No, perhaps not but then your husband is country bred you came from the city be is a blonde you are brunette he is a Christian and you a Jewess." "Really, my dear, I do not understand." "Not understand? Cannot you see how differently I am situated?" "Well, no." "Why, my husband and I both came from the same town. Our parents were as much alike as two families could be. We are both of tbe same temperament, both think the same way, both belong to the same church, and there ife absolutely nothing for us to quarrel about."

Health is impossible when tbe blood is impure, thick, and sluggish, or when it is thin and improvertshad. Under such conditions, boils, pimples, bsadaebee, neuralgia* rbeomansoa, and one disease after another is developed. Take Ayer's SarsapaiUa, and it will make tbe blood pure, rich, warm, and will make the blood pure, ricfc, warm, and vitalising.

PART OF THE SHO W.

HOW AN OLD CIRCUS TRICK CAUSED A BLOODY ENCOUNTER.

Recently, at a circus performance in Arkansaw, the conventional drunken man who goes into tbe ring and wants to ride that "hoss" played his part a trifle finer than he intended. Sitting near the ring were a couple of men from away over the creek." They were perfectly wrapped up in the entertainnient, ana were very much annoyed when the drunken fellow interrupted the perform-

"I want you to go away," the ring master said. You are interrupting oiir show." "Wanter ride that bass." "You can't ride. You are too drunK. "Wanter ride that hoss." "Here," said the clown, assuming a serious air, "I want you to leave here. "Wanter ride that boss." "It's as much as you can do to want, and you can't ride that spirited animai We paid for the privilege of Rowing here, and intend to give a goodBhow, but if you keep on interrupting as we can't do anything." "He's the blamedest fool I ever saw, said one of the men from away over tne

replied,

"and if

this show an' I don't wan'ter outen my rights by a drunken can see drunk fellers every day, but a show's a show, lemme tell you.

The drunken feller fell in front of tne horse and came in one of

*®in8ran0^f'"

The clown seized him and threw mm from the ring. He started to go oacK, when one of the creek men jumped up and said: "No, I'll be blamed if you go back.

The audience thought that it was apart of the trick and roared, and the creeK man, thinking that his course had received the approval of the* crowd, was much encouraged. "Get away," said the joker, in an undertone, "this is a part of the show. "Yes, an' it'll be a mighty

the difflclty?"

"Well, me and Jinny are alwaystaar relin'. and think it would be better ^she would go back to her folks and I' where I am. She ken take the, children with her." •'On what grounds do you watit alivorce?" "Well, you see it's jist this way: ny's the most skeeriest woman of tramp ye ever seen. And so when we go uj stairs to bed she always jumps in be first, and then she wants me to look un der the bed for a man, when I know ther' aint no m«n there. So you see that riles me and I get mad, and then she gets mad, and then there's a fuss, and I don't have no peace and can't get no sleep and I'm a hard-working man." "You can't get a divorce on those grounds, sir." "I can't?" "No, sir." "Well, then, I know what I'll do. I'll go home and saw the legs off the bed close up, so a man cant get under. If I had thought of that sooner I might have saved all this time comin' in here.

QUEER SUICIDES.

Frank Ayner, of Green River, Wy/f., blew out his brains because he had the rheumatism.

Because his son married a servant employed in the family. George Jarvis, of Richfield Springs, went to his barn and hanged himself.

Charles N. Massey, a bell-ringer for auctions in the town of Terry ville, 111., took ar«enic because he was suffering greatly from a lame leg.

William Ott, of Davenport, Iowa, first cuthiB tonsils and then shot himself through the breast. He had been for thirty years a merchant of Davenport.

After living sixty-five years and accumulating property, John Hurley, of Fulton ville, N. Y., hanged himself because his family would not live and sleep in one room.

Louis Fernandez and Carmen Liva. 16-year-old lovers, lived in Brownsville, Tex. Their parents objecting to the match, they tied themselves together and plunged into the river. The mother •f the girl, on learning the news, jumped into the river and was drowned.

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. Galveston News. A terrible affair recently happened in Pueblo. An employe of the railroad brought home all bis savings, $280, in bank bills, as a surprise to show his wife, who did not know he had that amount of money. Hearing the approach of tbe train he put them on the table and ran out to his work, and his wife went to tbe door to look after him. During her absence their little three-year-old daughter crawled up to the table and seeing tbe roll ol bnght-oolored papers threw them in the fire. The lhtheron his return, on learning of tbe lose, struck the child such a terrible blow as to kill it, and that night, filled with remorse, cast himself under tbe wheels of a train and committed suicide. Tbe mother became insane, and la now in the asylum.

CoLORuas AND Cou.—A young girl deeply regretted that she was eo colorless and cold. Her face was too white, and her bands and feet felt as though the blood did not ehwlate. After one bottle of Hop BitteA haft been taken she waa the rosiest and healtoiest girl in the town, with vivacity anch l. unfrrfuliiaiii of mind gratifying to her fHends.

TYSTER OF THE SEA,

^TE WHICH OVERTOOK THE. rY OF BOSTON."—CAPTAIN MURRAY'S IDEAS AND

EXPERIENCES.

Captain Marray is a tiftn of stalwart build, well-knit frame ajB cheery, genial disposition. He has tabu a constant voyager for a quarter of «century, over half of that time having en in the trans-Atlantic service. In course of the conversation over the ell-spread table, the mystery of the ity of Boston was alludeid to. "Yes," remarked the Captain, "I shall ever forget the last night we saw that 1-fated vessel. I was chief officer of ie City of Antwerp. On the day we ghted the City of Boston a furious autheast hurricane set in. Both vesels labored hard. The Sea seemed determined to sweep afray every vestige of ife. When day ended the gale did not ibate, and everything was lashed for a aight of unusual fury. Our good ship was turned to the south to avoid the

This was more than the other countryman coma endure, and springing up, he struck tne perpetuator of octogenarian mirth ana his companion seized him and began to drag him out. The clown and ringmaster rushed out and tried to rescue his friend, but the men from over the creeki had alread stood too much.

The ring-master was knocked down with the heavy end of his own whip, and then the audience saw that the performance was business-likeand practical A number of the actors rushed to thi conflict, and a party of cross-road bovf 'reinforced the men from over the creek The special constables joined the fraj and after awhile the entire circns outfi with its tattered oan vas and blood-stain« men, looked as melancholy as tbe shan end of a day when a note falls due. It 9 not often that an old and well-seasonf 1 joke causes trouble, and the circus mai ager, tattered and torn as he is, is searc ing the clown annals of the twiligft ages, in tbe hope that he may findb trick old enough for tbe public.

WANTED A DIVORCE Kentucky State Journal. A few days ago a middle-aged coi try man walked into the office prominent Newport attorney and. t* a seat, when the following took j?l|Cf

jssibility of ice-bergs. The City of however, undoubtedly went to the north. Her boats, life-preservers and rafts were all securely lashed and when she went down, everything went with her, never to re-appear until the sea gives np its dead." "What in your opinion, Captain, was the cause of the loss of the City of Boston

The City of Limerick, in almost precisely the same latitude, a few days later found tbe sea full of floating ice and 1 have no douot the City of Boston collided with the ice, and sunk immediately."

Captain Murray has been in command of tbe Alaska ever since she was put in commission and feels justly proud of his noble ship. She carries thousands of passengers every year, and has greatly popularized the Williams & Guion line. Remarking upon the bronzed aud healthy appearance of the captain, the reporter said that sea life did not seem to be a very great physical trial. "No? But a person's appearance is not always a trustworthy indication of his physical condition. For seven years I have been in many respects very much out of sorts with myself. At certain times I am so lame that it is difficult for me to move around. I could scarcely straighten up. I did not know what the trouble was, though I performed all my duties regularly and satisfactorily, yet I felt that I might some day be overtaken with some serious prostrating disorder. These troubles increased. I felt dull and then, again, shooting pains through my arms and limbs. Possibly the next day I would feel flushed and unaccount»ly uneasy and the day following chilly id despondent. This continued until

last December, when I was prostrated soon after leaking Queenstowh, and for the remainder of the voyage was a helpless, pitiful sufferer. In January last, a friend who made the voyage with me, wrote mSTTfotter urging»e to try a hew oourse of treatment. I gladly accepted his counsel, and for the last seven

months have given thorough and basi-ness-like attention to the recovery of my natural health: and to-day, I have the proud satisfaction of saying to you that the lame back, the strange feelings, tbe sciatic rheumatism which have so long pursued me, have entirely disappeared through the blood purifyihg influence of Warner's Safe Rheumatic Cure which entirely eradicated all rheumatic poison from my system. Indeed, to me, it leems that it has worked wonders, and 1 therefore most cordially cemmend it." "And you have no trouble now in ex,sing your self to the winds of the Attic?"

Not the least. I am as sound as a bullet and I feel specially thankful over thd fact because I believe rheumatic and kidney disease is in the blood of my family. I was dreadfully shocked on my last arrival in Liverpool to learn that my brother, who is a wealthy China tea merchant, had suddenly died of Bright's disease of the,kidneys, and consider myself extremely fortunate in having taken my trouble in time and before any more serious efforts were possible."

The conversation drifted to other topics, and as the writer watched the face before him, so strong in all its outlines an4 yet so genial, and thought of the innumerable exposures and hardships to which its owner had been exposed, he instinctively wished all who are suffering from the terrible rheumatic troubles now so common, might know of Captain Murray's experience and the means by which he had been restored. Pain is a common thing in this world, but far too many endure it when they might jast as well avoid it. It is a false philosophy which teaches us to endure when we can just as readily avoid. So thought the hearty captain of tbe Alaska, so thinks the writer and so should all others think who desire happiness and a long life. ____________
