courage and considerate pride waiting

you do He made no reply, but COM
menced taking off his coat. We re-
moved ours, also our cravat.
The sixth and last round is described
by the pressman and compositors, as
having been fearfully scientific. We
held Boston down over the press by
our nose (which we had inserted be-
tween his teeth for that purpose, } and
while our hair was employed in hold

Why DO TEETH DEcAY?---An the
theories that time and again have been
advanced in answer to this inquiry have
long since vanished before the true doc
trine of the action of external corrosive
agents. The great and all-powerful de-
stroyer of the human teeth is acid, Yege-
table or 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.
or 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 at
tributed to the corrosive effects Of acetie
acid, which is not only in common use as
a condiment in the form of vinegar, but
it is generated by the decay and decom-
position of any and every variety OF
vegetable matter. When we consider
how very few persons, comparatively,
take especial pains to remove every par
ticle of food from between and around
their teeth Immediately after eating, can
we wonder that diseased teeth are so
common, and that their early loss is so
frequently deplored. Practical Dentist.

THE LATE DIR. GARDINER.-The cir
cumstances attending the trial, convic
ton and death of Dr. Gardiner continue
sensibly to affect the public mind.
Yesterday morning, as on the day
before, large number of persons were
in attendance at the jail, where the jury
were engaged in holding an inquest
and physicians making a post mortem
examination. The autopsy was con-
Quoted by Drs. Miller and Stone, to-
gether with DR.. Semmes, the physician
to that institution, in the presence oi
Drs. Hall, Riley, Tyler, Johnson, Du-
hamel, Berry and Steiner, and perhaps
others.
In the absence of a chemical test,
they came to the conclusion, from the
phenomena exhibited, that Dr. Gardiner
died from the effects of strychnine.-
There was much congestion of the
scalp, as also of the brain and spinal
cord; a quart of dark thick blood hav-
ing escaped from the base of the crane
um and the spinal column.
Evidence to this effect was given be-
fore the jury, who, in order that chemi-
cal analysis may be made (by Drs.
Steiner and Breed J of the stomach and
of a powder which was taken from the
pocket of the deceased, adjourned until
next Friday morning, thus postponing
their verdict.
Witnesses testified on various points
affecting the circumstances of his death.
Two Of them said they noticed Dr.
Gardiner, while in the court house, put
some small substance into his mouth,
which they at first supposed to be. to-
bacco crumbs, and then touched his lips
with water; and from this they suppose
he at that time swallowed the fatal drug.
We have merely alluded to the testi
mony, our limits precluding full report
of the interesting examination,
1t may be added, in this connection,
that an intimate friend of DR.. Gardiner
gave negative answer to the question
asked by juror as whether the doctor
had informed him what he would do
with himself in the event of his being
CONVICTED.
The Coroner authorized the friends of
the deceased to take the body in charge,
and coffin and hearse being in readi-
ness, it was conveyed from the jail to his
late residencc.-W Wash. Sentinel, 5th inst.

ABSENCE FROM HOME.
By mrs. ANNA n. LowNr.

Home!---we know not how we love thee
Til away from thee we are---
Cannot think how close around us
Thou art twined, till we're afar.
Then the loneliness comes stealing
Silently around the heart;
Then we miss thee. home of childhood,
Then we feel It's sad to part.
Sad to part from every spot
That our infant feet had trod,
Every tree and shrub and flower,
Every bank and grassy sod
All are linked with pleasures by-gOns,
Kindling joy within the heart;
Fen the spring of crystal water
Holds its own remembered part.
And the homestead, old and lonely,
Still to me is dearer far,
Than the city's costly mansions,
In their strange, cold majesty.
Homei l love, still dearly love thee
Hallowed voices greet me there;
Father, mother, friends around me,---
There's no rest for me elsewhere.

CONTEMPLATED ARREST OF KossuTH
By AUsTRIA.---A private letter from
London to the New York Times, states
that Kossuth delayed his visit to Con-
stantinople for fear of being arrested BY
Austria, and adds:
1 am positively informed that the day
of his proposed embarkation, and the
vessel which was to have taken him,
were known at Vienna beforehand
Moreover, explicit orders were given to
Austrian steamers to watch his move
ments, and if occasion offered, to make
a seizure similar to the attempt upon
Martin Koszta. l am also no less posi-
lively informed that Kossuth received
full intelligence of this contemplated ac-
ton of the Austrian police. Conse-
quently, it is probable that the Hunga-
rian leader viii not go to the East, al
though the Turkish government, shll
deluded, is most friendly toward him,
until a general war shall have broken
out, and the actual disposition of Aus
tria have been thoroughly unmasked.

from five to twenty-five dollars per

piece of mechanism-an eight-dsy clock,
with dead best eseapement maintaining

teen tunes, plays three tunes in twelve
hours, or viii play at any time required.
The hands 60 round as follows: One,
once a minute; one, once an hour; one,
once a week; one, once a month; one,
once a year. 1t shows the moons age,
the time of rising and setting of the
sun, the time of high and low water,
half ebb and half flood; and by beau
tiful contrivance, there is a part which
represents the water, rises and falls,
lifting the ships at high water tide as if
it were In motion, and as it recedes,
leaves these little automaton ships dry
on the sand. 1t shows the hour Of the
day, day of the week, day of the month,
month of the year. In the day of the
month, there is provision made for the
long and short months. 1t shows the
twelve signs of the zodiac; it strikes or
not, as you wish it; it has the equation

and sun every day in the year. Every
portion of the clock is of beautiful

which are called into action by the in
genious proprietor, who is most willing
to describe all its various achievements
to any one who may feel pleasure in
