KISSING.

A lady friend has transmitted to a contemporary the following Opinions of the Press upon the subject of the text which tells you that "Jacob kissed Eachel, and lifted up his voice and wept". — It Eachel was » pretty girl, ani kept her face clean, we can't 866 whit Jacob had to cry about. — Daily Telegraph. How do you know but she slapped his face for him P — Ladies' Treasury. Weeping is not unfrequenUy produced by extreme pleasure, joy, or happiuess ; it might have been so in Jacob's case. — Hardwick's Science Gossip. The cause of Jacobs weeping was the refusal of Eachel to allow him to kiss her again. — Nonconformist. ]t is our opinion that Jacob wept because he had not kissed Rachel before, and he had lost.— City Press. The fellow wept because the girl did not kies him. — Pall Mall Gazette. Jacob wept because Rachel told him to do it twice more, and he was afraid to. — Methodist Recorder. He wept because there was only one Rachel to kiss.— Clerkenwell News. He wept for joy because it tasted so good. — Jewish Chronicle. Our own opinion is that Jacob wept because he found after all "It was not half what it was cracked up to be." — New Zealand Examiner. A mistake — not'his eyeß but his mouth watered.- — The Ladies' Chronicle. Ue thought it was fast color and wept to see the psint come off.— Fine Art Gazette. He remembered he was her uncle, and recollected what the Prayer says. — Church Journal. He was a fool aud didn't know what was good for him, — Englishwoman's Advertiser. He knew there was ho time to weep ; it had come and he dare not put it off. — Methodist News* He thought eha might have a big brother. — Sporting Cronicle. Because there was no time for another. — Express. When he lifted up his voice he found it was heavy, and could not get so high as he expected. — Musical notes. A truce lo all I Beneath the starry vault or golden sun is their aught in nature or in art equal to the rapture or intense deliciousness of the first kiss! I answer verily, No. Jacob had never kiesed fair' Maiden before ; and his first realisation of " crowding a life's deliciousnees'' in these moments overcame him, and he wept for joy. — Horußey Hornet.
