A lady who was urging some friends to stay to dinner, felt disgusted when her eight year old boy came in and said, “ Mrs. Joiies says she can’t spare no bread, and Mrs. Brown ain’t to home, so I did not get no butter.” The friends thought they had better dine elsewhere, and the lady thought so too ; but she taught that boy that the way of the transgressors is hard before evening. A Kiss, AND WHAT CAME OF IT. — A Missourian who stole a kiss from a pretty girl was fined by a magistrate, horsewhipped by her brother, aud hurried into the brain fever by his wife. The clergyman also alluded to the affair in a sermon ; the local editor took sides with the clergyman and reviewed the case in print; and the potato bug ate up every blade of the malefactor’s wheat.
