Style In Kissing

The following beautitul poem is an adaptation, and is not claimed as original by the young man of our acquaintance who has traveled much about the county as an agent, and who has thus acquired a large fund of experience, and so has carefully noted the points of difference among the girls, in a certain respect ; but even as an adaptation it is worth reading : The Ypsilanti girl bows her stately head, And flxes her atylish Ups In a flrm hard way, and Iets them go, In spasmodic little snips. The Milán girl, acreature divine, Whether wtfe, widow or Miss, Looks into your eyes with star litorbs, And puts her whole soul in her kiss. The Chelsea girl, the pride of the state, In her clinging and soulful way, Absorbs it all with a yearning yearn, As big as a ton ot hay. The Manchester girl nelther sighs nor pines, Nor acts in a manner rude, Butshegoes kissing in a business way Xhat catcheB tbe average dude. The Whittaker girl hath a don'tcare look, And freezeth her face with a smile; And tlcks out her lips like an open book And cheweth her gum meanwhile. The Ann Arbor girl is gentle and sweet, Lets her Ups meet the coming kiss, And with rapturous warmth and youthful soul, Floats away on a sea oí bliss. The Saline girl says never a word, And you'd think she was rather tame With her practical views of the matter in hand. "But she gets there just the same." The Salem girl gets a grip on herself, As she carefully takes off her hat, And she grabs her prize In a frlghtened way, Like a terrier shaking a rat. The Lyndon girl may be best in the land ; She may not kiss with a smack, But she leaves the print of her fairy hand Nicely done in oll on your back. The Whitmore Lake girl closes her eyes, When asked to osculate. And Íets the vandal steal the kiss Which she really likes first-rate, The Dexter girl will flrst refuse. Just to have you insist and plead, But when she finally does consent, Her kiss you'll confess, takes the lead. The Superior girl catches the man's moustache, With a grip as tigut as glue And opening a little, her ruby lips PuIIb her kiss on likea shoe. The Geddesgirl on tip-toe stands, Her lips so tempting and red ; You take her cheeks in both your hands, "And ler'ei go Murphey!" (Gallagher's dead.)
