The following lines, enclosing ring, were ad
dressed by Lord Lyttleton to his wife, fourteen year
after their marriage.
Thee, Mary, with this ring / wed;
So fourteen years ago said:
Behold another ring For what
To wed thee Ger again why not (?
With that first ring welded youth,
Grace, beauty, innocence, and truth;
Taste long admired, sense long reyered,
And all my Mary then appeared.
If she by merit since disclosed
Prove twice the woman supposed,
plead that double merit now,
To justify double VOW.
Here then to-day with faith as sure,
With ardor as intense and pure,
As when amidst the rights divine,
took thy troth and plighted mine,(
To thee sweet girl, this second ring,
A token and pledge bring
With this / wed, till death US part,
Thy ripper virtues to my heart:
Those virtues which, before untred,
The wife has added to the bride
Those virtues, whose progressive claim,
Endeariag wedlock's every name,
My soul enjoys, my song approves,
For conscience sake, as well as loves
For why they show me hour by hour,
Honour's high thought, affections power
Discretion's deed, sound judgments sentence,
And teach me all things-baa repentance.

From the Oneida Observer,

The New NosE.-rhe important operation
Of making a new nose has been recently per-
formed in this village by DR.. 8aichelder, the
late professor of surgery IN one Of The eastern
medical colleges, with complete success. The
opeiaiou consisted in taking piece Of flesh
from the fore head and bringing il down, APP
plying and fastening i, to the face, whe'e i.
should be, the part to which it was 10 be APP
piled having been previously sca,iiitd. We
have examined the face OF this unfortunate in
dividual, and find thai it is not only true that
such an operation has been performed, blu, that
i, was done with so much exactness, that the
wounds healed almost entirely by the first inten
ton, leaving the smallest possible ves'ises oil
the performance, the scars are therefore much
less apparent than could have been expected.
The cicatrix upon The forehead whence The
ad enli.ious nose was taken, is very small and
may be entirely concealed BY the hair OF the
foretop, with the exception OF that portion
which extends TO the root OF the nose, which
was designedly made. in The place where there
is usually natural wrinkle. for which without
the closest inspection it would be taken. lhe
bones Of the nose which form the PARTITION be-
tween the nos,rils, and also the one forming the
lef, side of The nose, were destroyed by the dis

DEAF AND DUMB.-An estimate Of the num-
Der OF Geaf mutes in the United States, has been
made by Mr.. Wild, The principal OF the Penn>
sylvania Institution for the education Ct this
unfortunate class Of beings. In order to ascer.
tain the number, Mr.. w took tie proportion Of
deaf and dumb persons to the whole population
Of twenty FIVE counties in Pennsylvania, which
he ascertaincd to be precisely one to every two
thousand. This ratio is also found to agree
very nearly with numerations made throughout
that commonwealth, IN other States, and in
foreign countries According TO the census in
1920, it is therefore calculated that among the
white population Of the u States al that period
there were 5oS5 deal & dumb persons-of which
number, 3S8 (ratber more than one third il is
supposed were f' subjects Tor instruction, be-
between the ages Of ten and twenty-six.
These relative members, Mr.. Wild appor-
tions as follows:
The six Z. States whole Mum

The middS- do do 1927 do do All
The six 5. do do COL do do Sl7
