The sun Is warm upon the withered sod
And over all the landscape brown and broad
Tine glorious hills are smiling up to God
The ancient woods impatient of the heat.
Handicapped their spotted maniles at their feet
Breathe with rusiling murnr,lr soft and sweet
The air is filed with glory like a mist,
The sunlight falls upon the earth in bss
As through Gods presence drops an angels kiss.
A-nights the moon she hath golden face
She climbs the yellow mist with dreaming grace
Seeking among the stars her royal place
Away, among tho burly. oaken trees
Are held in leash the winters harInonies:
Earth hath Ssbbath-hour of prayertul case
My soul is like one resting from the wars;
These shining hours beyond the prison bars,
1t ratcheth them as lakes do falling stars.

Arthur pronounced these last words with much

The next day she wrote to the mother of Nanlne,
who soon after, sent her consent requesting madam
de SuviIie to represent her. The nupals cee-
brated without pomp parade by the desire OF
Nanne. whose simple modesty neither rank or splen-
dor could overcome. Her happiness perfect
grounded upon such sure foundations. and her fam
partook of it with her.
The union was approved of by all. and even Eliza
could not help secretly applaudng his choice When
she learned from Madam de Surville that without

Fire Proof Buildings.

The Journal of Commerce has some sensible re-
marks the danger of fire from the present mode of
building 1t says
"Of late years there have been no large fires in
London, and in Paris 1t is we'll known that if fire
takes place. it seldom extends beyond a single room
in dwelling houses, In large cities of the United
States fires often sweep with devastating fury over
large districts. The exemption enjoyed abroad, and
the injury suffered here, due to the mode of con-
structing houses. Abroad they are built with much
greater soldity than here and with far less of nham
mabe material. Stone and iron staircases partition
walls of brick, double walls floors supported or
arches, slate or tile roofs and heavy walls, mark
the architecture of London and Paris In the United
States, and with the most important class of houses
dwelling is commonly wooden structure surroun
ded with brick or stone walls, which, in case of fire
serve to exclude the water thrown from engines from
reaching the well.hidden work 1t is very seldom

WHY DO TEETH DECAY ALI the theories that
time and again have been advanced in answer to this
enquiry, have long since vanished before the true
doctrine of the action of external corrosive agents.
The great and alI-powerful destroyer of the human
teeth is acid, vegetable mineral and it matters not
whether that acid is formed in the mouth by the
decomposition of particles of food left between and
around the teeth, whether it is applied directly to
the organs themselves: the result is the same the
enamel is dissolved: corroded and the tooth DESTROYED
Much, very much of the decay in teeth may be al
trbued 10 the corrosive effects of acetc acid which
is not only IN condiment in the form
of vinegar but it is generated by the decay and de-
composition of any and every variety Of Vegetable
matter When we consider how very few persons
comparatively, take especial pains to remove every
particle of food from between and around heir teeth
Immediately after eating, we wonder that diseas-
ed teeth common and that their early loss is so
frequently deplored !-Practical Dentist.

village resides man who has two wives living Zone

Persons who were oil lassitude, weakness and de

They are durable, not liable to get out Of or
