BETTER THAN HEARING JENNY LINDA
correspondent of the Richmond Wing relates the
following incident:
gentleman, well known in Richmond. left
home on Friday evening, on his way to the concert
with ten dollars in his pocket. Before reaching
.he theatre he met a poor fellow from the country
IN great distress. 1t seems the poor fellows cart
had been broken down it was getting late-he
was many miles from home, and had no means of
paying for the repairs. The gentleman, seeing the
man distress, asked what the repairs would cost.
he was told about ten dollars. The ten dollars
intended for the concert were Immediately given
lor TINS purpose; and he returned home with
out hearing the far-:amed Miss JENNY Here
true sympathy and benevolence gained the victory
over self-indslgence. And who doubts this gentle
man ielt calmer and purer Joy than any of the
hundreds who thronged the theatre on Friday
night?"
ne answer springs from every heart. No one
doubts It, for as Shakespeare has written it that such
acts carry double blessing 1t blesseth him that
gives, and him that taxes

The Legislature Of last winter repealed the odious
law which let out the advertisements of judicial no.
tees to the lowest biddera system liable to great
sbuse, from the opportunity by combination to put
them atexorbitant rates. 1t is true that the last
contract was taken at nominal price, but the actual
working Of the law was profitable affair. Where
parties demurred and enforced the terms of the
contract the printers bill was often too trifing to
be charged. Where, however, the objection was
not made, Paul was often robbed to pay Peter.
From January LIST, the advertisements are to be
inserted in such papers the defendant selects or
If he neglects, the other parties interested select
and il no one does it, the Sheriff, having contract
with the Courier, puts it in that paper and, as
we learn on high authority, high bills are charged.
We publish the law. 1t provides that all judi
cial notices must be in French and English, the
French notice to be inserted in paper published
in both languages. The papers in the First and
Third Municipality are the Courier, the Bee, and
the Orleanian they are all in French and English.
The five papers published in the Serond Munich.

TEETH SET ON EDGE.

All acid foods, drinks, medicines and
tooth washes and powders, are very inju.
rious TO the teeth. If tooth is put in ci.
der, vinegar, lemon juice, or tartaric acid
in few hours the enamel will be COM
pletely destroyed, so that it can be remov-
ed by the finger nail as if it were chalk
Most have experienced what is commonly
called teeth set on edge. The explanation
Of it is, the acid of the fruit that has been
eaten has so far softened the enamel oil
the tooth that the least pressure is felt by
the exceedingly small nerves which con-
meets the enamel and the body part of the
tooth. Such an effect cannot be produced
without iDjuring the enamel. True, it will
become hard again, when the acid has
been removed by the fluids of the mouth,
just as on egg shell that has been softened
in this way. becomes hard again by being
put in the water. When the effect of sour
fruit on the teeth subsidies, they feel as well
as ever, but they are not as well. And
the ohener it is repeated, the sooner will

THE LIFE CLOCK.
There is little mystic clock
No human eye hath seen, aN' "f
That beateth on-and beateth on q .....
From morning unto cen. -e
And when the soul is wrapped in sleep,
And heareth not sound, fa4 55..
1t ticks and ticks the live long night,
And never runneth down. =.
Oh, wondrous is the work of art!
q, Which knells the. passing hour;
But art ne'er form'd nor mind conceived
The life clocks magic power.
Nor set in gold-nor decked with gems
By pride and wealth possessed;
But rich or poor, or high or low,
Each bears it in his breast ''.4"' ."
When life's deep stream, mid beds o.
flowers
And still and softly glides;
Like the wavelet's stop, gentle beat,
1t warns of passing tides,
When passion nerves the warriors arm
For deeds Of hate and wrong l
Though needed not the fearful sound,
The knell is deep and strong.
When eyes to eyes are gazing soft,
And tender words are spoken,
Then fast and wild it rattles on, ....
As if with love 'twere broken. ..
Such is the clock that measures life
OF flesh and spirit blended, .. .s
And thus 7 will run within the breast,
Till this strange life is ended.

A SEA SKETCH.
BY SYLvANUs COBB, JR.

Some time during the month OF June.
1909, the American brig Sarah, of and
from Norfolk, Va, entered the port of Liv.
erpool with full cargo. She was com.
manded by Capt. William Brown, and her
first mate was Tom Macdonough, a true
hearted Yankee sailor, who hailed from
somewhere in the little State Of Delaware.
After the brig had been duly entered at the
custom-house, she was soon cleared Of her
cargo, and within one week after her arri-
val, she was loaded for home
One pleasant evening-the one prece-
ding the day on which the brig was to
sail-Tom Macdonough took stroll up
into the town. lie had been at work all
day, in arranging the cargo, and having
merely started out for stroll, he had not
thought it worth while to change his dress.
He had been up as far as the Exchange,
and was returning by the way Of the docks,
when he was accosted by man who ap-
peared 10 be a citizen.
"Good evening, stranger"
"The same TO you," returned Tom.
never once mistrusting that there was harm
in the way. ..... ..
"Do you belong to any Of the vessels
now in the riverl" asked the other, as he
cast a scrutinizing glance over the some-
what rough habiliments OF the American
sailor.
ayes. l belong to the Americaa brig
Sarah"
"No, no, - that wont do.''
"What wont do!" asked Tom, not lit
tie amazed at the remark. Is. .G
20, | know you" returned the stranger,
"you are deserter from the frigate."
As he spoke, he placed small whistle
to his mouth, and in moment after lis
shril note had cut the air, six marines
came rushing out from tap-room close at
hand, and at a motion from the stranger,
they seized hold upon Tom and made him
their prisoner. In vain was it that Tom
protested that he was second in command
ofthe Sarah, and in vain that he threaten.
ed vengeance against the power of
six stout fellows he could make no effect.

to the naval landing, where five other

were awaiting their embarkation. A boat
was in waiting, in the command Of leu-
tenant, and into it was Tom, with the rest
Of the unfortunate seamen, unceremo-
niously hurried, and in less than half an
hour, he found himself on board an Eng
llsh frigate, which lay at the mouth Of the
river. ,.....
IA fine set OF men," said the English
captain, as he run his eyes admiringly
over the stalwart forms OF the impressed
seamen. "They will just fill up the list of
our main-topmen."

The following will give an idea of le.

the following account Of a leper with whom
he met:
"One evening as was strolling along
the shore, saw such an extraordinary OBJ
ject before me that ! could not take my
eyes off of it. A man was seen coming
toward me, whose only clothing, like that
of all the lower orders of India, was a
piece of cloth wrapped round the body
from the waist downward. His skin was
perfectly white. and it seemed glazed as if
it was scared with hot iron. Ills head
was uncovered, and his hair which was
precisely the same color of the skin, hung
down in long strips upon his lean and
wthered shoulders. His eyes, except the
eyeballs, were of dull murky red, and he
kept them fixed on the ground, as if it
were painful for him TO look up, which
found 10 be the case. He walked slowly
and feebly, and he was so lrightfully thin.
that he seemed to stand before me living
skeleton. He did not at first venture to
come within several yards of me. NOV.
ed towards him, but he walked farther
from me, beseeching me to give the small
est trihe to miserable man to save him
from starving to death, as he was an object
Of universal scorn and an outcast from his
home and friends. He told me he had,
during many years, suffered dreadGully
from leprosy, and though he was now
cured, it had left upon him these marks of
pollution, which would prevent his ever
being allowed to 60 near his fellow beings
again. The color Of his skin was chang
ed to corpse-like white, and none could
mistake that he had been leper.
