Albany [GA] Patriot <\/em>, May 3, 1860<\/p>\n

The editress of the Weekly Herald<\/em>, (Thomson, Georgia,) indulges herself in the \u00a0following provoking and tantalizing strain:<\/p>\n

“Well, we reckon some folks would really like to know what we thought of. Let’s see. In \u00a0the first place, we thought what an absurd idea it is in a man to ask a lady to kiss him, just as if \u00a0he, the senseless being, thought the poor trembling little creature was going to do it. The idea of \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0a man asking for a thing so easily obtained! Why, it is ridiculous! and a man with the least \u00a0particle of brains would hoot at the idea. She’d say not, till doomsday. And you, poor believer, \u00a0would forego the happiness of drawing nectar from that rose-bud mouth, simply because you \u00a0were ignorant enough to ask for what you might have taken. There are ten thousand ways to kiss \u00a0a girl without asking the pleasure. Direct her attention to something on the table; ask for a book \u00a0you know to be there, and while she is there, go with the affected purpose of helping her to look \u00a0for it; be particular to get at the left side; do you need any more telling? If you do, you do not \u00a0deserve the kiss that might be so gracefully taken. A man who would ask a kiss of a fair maiden \u00a0ought to be tarred and feathered as a craven hearted monster. Don’t do it, don’t for goodness \u00a0sake, ask the girls to kiss you. Kiss them if you want to, but do it like gentlemen. Kiss them if \u00a0you can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
