SAVE THE MAN WITH THE RED HAIR.-lt re-
ouires great cooluess and experience to steer a
course down the rapids Of the Sault st. Marie;
and short time before our arrival two Ameri-
cans had ventured to descend them without
boatmen and were consequently upset. As the
story was reported to us, one Of them owed his
salvation to a singular coincidence. As the ac-
cdent took place Immediately opposite the town
many 0! the inhabitants were attracted TO the
bank of the river to watch the struggles Of the
unfortunate men, thinking any attempt at q
rescue would be hopeless. Suddenl however 4
person appeared rushing toward the group,
frantic with excitement. "Save the man with
the rcd hair!' he vchementiy shouted and the
exertions Which were made in consequence OF
his earnest appeals proved successful and the
red haired individual in an exhausted condition
was safely landed. ale owes me eighteen dol
lars" said his rescucr, drawing long breath
and looking approvingly on his assistants; 1he
red haired mans friend had not creditor at
the Saut, and in default Of competing claim,
was allowed to pay his debts to nature. "And
I'll tell you what it is, stranger" said the mar
rator of the foregoing incident comracently
drawing moral thereflom-"a lnar'l never
know how necessary he is to society, if he don't
make his life valuable to his friends rs we'll nst

SELECTIONS FOR NEwspAPER.--Most peo.
pie think the selection Of suitable matter for
newspaper the easiest part Of the business
How great an error! 1t is BY all means the
most difficult. TO look over hundred, Of ex.
change papers every week, from which to select
enough for one, especially when the question
is not what shall, but what shall not be select
cd, is no easy task. If every person who reads
a paper could have edited it We should hear
less complaint. Not unfrequently is it the
case that an editor looks over all his exchange
papers for something interesting, and can abso'
utey find nothing. Every paper is drier than
a contribution box, and yet something must be
had, his paper must come out with something
in it and he does the best he can. TO an edi.
tor who has the least care about what he selects
the writing that be has to do is the easiest part
of the labor.
Every subscriber thinks the paper lie printed
for his own benefit; and If there is nothing in
it that suits him it must be stopped, it is good
for nothing. Just as many subscribers as an
editor may have, so many tastes he has to con.
sul.. One wants something sound. One likes
anecdotes, fun aud frolic; and the next door
neighbor wonders that man of good sense
will put such stuff in paper. Something
spicy comes out, and the editor is black.
guard Next comes something argumen,ativc,
and the editor is a dull fool. And 80 between
them all, you see, the poor fellows get roughly
handled. They ncvef think what does not
please them may please the next man; hut
they insist, If the paper does not suit them, II
is good for nothing.

4 WonD TO BoYs.-Who Il respected It
is the boy who conducts himself well, who Is
obedient, in all things It is the boy who is
making an effort continually to respect his father
and to obey him, whatever he may direct 10 b
done. 1t is the boy who leaves no effort untried
to improve himself in knowledge and wisdom
every day, who is busy and active in endeavor-
ing to do good acts towards Others. Show me
boy who obc4s his parents, who is diligent,
who respects age, who always has friendly
disposition and who applies himself diligently TO
get wisdom, and to do good towards Others; and
if he is not respected and beloved by everybody
then there is no such thing as truth in this
world. Remember this boys, and you will be
respected by others, and grow up and become use

Well did the poet say sing
The setting OF mighty hope s ike the close oil day,
When the bright warm gun has sunk 10 rest,
And the night comes chill and grey.
The flower Of life doth pass away,
The music and the tone depart with the hope that dis

And nothing more remains behind,
But the darkness and the tears.
The sun may sink behind the hill,
The flowers upon the valleys brink may wther, wane
and die,
But the day.god shall come forth again.
The world to beautify,
The dav.god shall come forth again,
And earth shall leap to life again. in presence Of her
King:
The hills shall laugh in glorious light
The Wales, with mirth shall ring.
But when the hope that gilt our life,
Hath vanished into outer night despairng and foorn
There comes to tho rising more,
To US, no second morn.
We wonder darking on our way
We mark no freshness on the carth no brightness on

EDITORIAL PRorEIETlEs.---Ther is good
sense in the following remarks from the New
ark Daily Advertiser. 1t will be proud day
for the editorial profession when VIC all act up
to these srs sseslions:
Next to the pleasure Of having opinions is
that Of expressing them; in some persons the
latter is the greater of tie two. Thousands,
indeed, don't care half so much for the real
right and wrong upon 4 subject, as for an op
portuntv to have Il shy at it on one side or the
other, and it is not Of much consequence which.
Serious discussions 10 them are out Of the ques
ton. 4 running commentary on events, or
popular questions, is "ne method Of accomplish
ing their wishes, and this is easy aud agreeable
enough.
Another is a kind of editorial conversation
in the columns Of paper. This may be good
uatured or otherwise. and affords Il mighty
convenient way Of filling them. But is it very
profitable to the public to be obliged to over
hear personal alterations, whether in good or
bad tempers
Gossip or tatt!e Of this sort may be some
times entertaining, frequently spicy, but the
consistency, or inconsistency, the mistakes and
faults, nf an editor are not s. interesting to the
community, as to the parties. Their contro:
verses are often trivial to the last degree, and
not seldom tend to lower all concerned in pub
lie esteem, certainly in that of the judicous,
and rightly too. Personalities, TO be toerabe
! to all but vulgar minds, must be OF the good
hIlnored sort !; gossip, to be fit for the common
ear, should have foundation Of common In
terest, or agreeable information.
1t will largely promote the dignity and utili-
ty of the press to divest whatever comes under
their notice, as much as possible, OF personal
! bearing. Let questions he debated on their
real merits, without reference to mcn. Decl.
sous will then be likely to be more correct,
than when complicated and distorted with
considerations external TO them.

WHY do Teeth Decay

All the theories that again and again have
been advanced in answer to this inquiry, have
long since vanished before the true doctrine Of
the action external corrosive agents. The great
and all powerful destroyer of the human teeth
is acid, vegetable or mineral; aud 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, cor.
roded, and tie tooth destroyed. Much, very
much of the decay in teeth may be attributed
to the corrosive effects Of ascclate acid, which
is not only in common use as condiment
in the form Of vinegar, but it is generated by
the decay aud decomposition OF any and eve
ry variety Of vegetable matter.
When we consider how very few persons,
comparatively, take especial pains to remove
every particle offood from between and around
the teeth, Immediately after eating, can we
wonder that diseased teeth are so frequently
dcplored ?-Erchangc
Tho above does not afford good reasGE why
the teeth OF our people are SO subject to early
decay, in comparison with the teeth Of the peo
ple of some other countries. 1t is generally
allowed that there is work for five the number
of dentists in the United States than there, is
in Britain and that while bad teeth is the ex.
ccp,ion there, is the rule here.
We believe that our people take more pains
with their teeth by washing than the natives Of
Ireland, and yet the Irish have far better teeth.
Acetec acid caunot be the cause of this early
decay Of teeth among US, indeed we know il
is not There is no subject of more importance
than this for if the early decay Of teeth among
our people is not the result of i'll health, we all
know that bad teeth are injurious to heallh.-
The health Of people is question of the very
first importance; il is gilmore consequence than
any other. 1t is our opinion that if more
coarse harb biscuit were eaten in carly life, to
exercise the teeth they would be less liable 10
early decay. The very form Of some OF our
teeth are adapted to grinding, and if not prop
ely exercised, they must become tender and
delicate. Scientific I1merican.
