THE SEWING GIRL,

Annie Linton was the best sewer in Mrs.
Roys school; and the mistress declared, on
inspecting the first shirt she made for her, faith
er, That the Duke of Buchleuch himself
might wear it, This was high praise for lit
tie Annie, who was only eleven years of age
and she never forgot it, Her work was the
ceanest and neatcst ever seen. Then she did
it so quickly, her mother could not keep pace
with her daily demand for something to sew. :
Il wish Annie would take to her book, said
Mrs Linton to her husband But it was quite
clear that Annie would never take to her book;
she had little reading and less spelling; and
vet she could mark with cotton) all the let
ters of the alphabet, as if she was verv mira
Gle of learning.
Something to sew? eagerly demanded An
ME.
will any moving come to this sewing?'
asked her father, with very natural attempt
at pun.
Those who do not sew shall not reap, said
little Annie, cleverly taking up her fathers
meaning and her work-bag at the same time,
as she whisked past him in fear of being too
late for school.
Three weeks after: s!Annie's learning to be
Scholar said Mrs. Linton; 'no more de-
mands for sewing That afternoon Annie
came bounding into the house from school,
sat upon her fathers knee, opened her work
bag, which hung over her arm, and putting a
screwed up paper into his hand, said: Theirs
the moving.
Her father undid the paper, and found four
half-crowns. annie, questioned her father,
swhere did this come from?
sFrom the sewing answered Annie, laugh
ing delightedly at his surprise, as she escaped
from his knee, and ran out of the room, to de-
Law little longer the solution of the riddle.
Wife said John Linton, 'it is impossible
that Annie could earn all this by the sort of
child's play girls call work and whom did she
earn it from? I'm afraid there's something
wrong? And, to tell the truth, Annie Lin
ton was practising little disguise; nor had
she given her father all the money she had
earned The sum originally was twelve shll-
lings. This was all designed for her father
alone; but prior claim had come in the way.
1t was cold winter weather, and the children
of the school brought their forms in a sort OF
square, around Mrs. Roy's fire. Annie, who
was favorite of the mistress, always occupied
warm corner close to her own big chair. on
the day in question, Mrs. Roy happened to be
out of the room

THE PIN E.

BY wM. C. HosMER
While messy old pines sang q lullaby wild,
l couched OH the grass, when an innocent child,
AMI fancied that angels were lowering round;
No instrument fashioned by frail, mortal hand
Could rouse in my bosom feeling grand
As that magical, soft and mysterious sound.
In keeping with Freedoms proud throne Oh the hills,
How the of Storm-troublcd pine forest thrills
The heart of the mOuntaineer mantlediu cloud;
1t sends 10 the valleys voice Of dismay.
And sounds like the quick march ofhostS to the fray
While drums beat the charge, and the trumpet is
loud
Though soft the tones that the wild winds evoke
From the glOssy-leavcd beech or centennial oak
The pines give SweeterrcSpOnSe to their CALL
And often think. when the branches are stirred
Of rich, Orgam-pealS in some old minister heard,
While ghosts seem to start from the echong wall
When winter is coating the hillside with snow,
And dropping shroud on the meadows below,
The pine, like sentinel, stands on the height
Ice covers its trunk with glitteringmall.
AnditwelcOmes the rush Of the pitileSS gale,
Its green arms uptoSsing in frantic delgh
Meet place for the bird of our banner to rest,
On build forhis royal descendants nest.
l. the tall, misty cone of some towering pine:
Its branches give tongue, and proclaim him king
W hen SunWaru, IN circles, he mounts oh the wing,
To gaze on the earth like vision divine.
Oh grand is the dash of the surf on the shore,
And wild the mad torrents tumultuouS roar,
While cliffs overhanging with spray drops wet
But thes sigh of the wind in a forest of pines,
Like troops the hill SUBMITS marshalled in lines
Isa sound that poet can never forget.
Now it swells on the ear with hillowy roll:
Anon breathes in whispers of love to the soul
For spirits arc touching the emerald keys:
Talknoto of the magic dilute or Of Tyre:
Poetic emotion they cannot inspire
Like melody woke, in the pines by the breeze.

HOW TO PRESERVE TEETH.

1t is probable that no department of the
healing art is subjected to more frequent abuses
than that relating to the treatment of the teeth,
and all intelligent persons should know that
no practiscr of that specially can be safely
trusted whose character and professional stand
ing arc unknown to them 1 would callatten-
ton to the subject becaus, of having heard Of
recent abuses practised in this city. The teeth
should never be cleaned by other than mecahn-
ical means. Any chemical agent that will
act upon the tartar on the teeth will act upon
and destroyed the enamel Of the teeth Also
Hence, although the teeth may be made to
look very white in minute or two by the
use of acid, they soon become darker than
ever, to be whitened no more, and early de-
cav and pain are sure to follow. In cleaning
the teeth by mechanical means the only eau
ton to be observed is that they should not be
broken nor scratched, and that the tartar
shall be so perfectly removed that smooth
surface shall be left, as upon a rough surface
there i. sure to be a fresh accumulation of tar
tar. To have this done properly it is neces-
sary to obtain the aid ola practised hand, with
appropriate instruments. To keep the teeth
clean, when once made so, full and soft
brush should be applied in rotary manner at
least once day, with water not very cold.-
As often as once week prepared chalk may
be used for dentrifce. When more than
this is needed it is best to obtain the assistance
of the dentist. Charcoal, pumice stone, &c.
wear away the teeth too severely, and, indies
tructible as the frst-named is, it insinuates
itself between the gum and the neck of the
tooth, which latter, not being coverad by ena-
mel, soon decays when thus exposed. Filling
and filling teeth are operations which no one
but an educated dentist should attempt; nor
will a prudent person ever have tooth drawn
by any other hand if dentist is near. lfone
is not, then let handy and firm person, hav'
ing first cut the gum well from the neck, en-
brace the tooth as near the root as possible
with pair of forceps, and extract the tooth
lust as he would extract nail from piece Of
furniture he would not like to injure. Fol
such a class of teeth there is peculiar motion
in drawing; but these none but the dentist will
be likely to remember. To relieve an aching

spread out towards the Omaha country for the
an Indian girl dipping water from spring.
She was startled, and about to cry for help,
when he hastily assured her that he needed
protection and assistance. With the true III
stincts of noble woman, she appreciated his
situation in an instant, and all her sympathies
were with him. She directed him to dismount
and 90 to small natural bower to which she
pointed him in the verge of the woods, while
she would mount horse and lead his pursuers
away lie obeyed her, and she mounted his
horse and daShing on in a serpcntinc way
through the woods, leaving marks along the
brushes by which she could be traced. The
pursuers soon followed. When she had got
some distance down the branch, she rode into
the water and followed its descending course
for few steps, making her horse touch its
sides and leave footprints in that direction,
and then turned up the bed of the stream and
rode above the place at which she entered 1t,
without leaving trace and back to where
Logan was concealed She told him to mount
and speed away, while his pursuers were going
in a contrary direction down the ravine, lie
did so and got long distance out of sight,
and again thought himself out Of the reach OF
danger, when in valley just in front of him
he saw fifty braves coming up the hill meeting
him. They were some of those who We're
purpose of intcrcepting him. Logan pressed
forward as rapidly as his jaded seed could bea,
him, until he thought he had entirely eluded
them; but as the day dawncd, to his horror
and dismay, he saw his pursuers close upon
his track He turned his course for ravine,
which he distinguished at distance, covered
with trees and undergrowth. He succeeded
in reaching it, and just within its verge he met
returning from the pursuit of his people. lie
changed his direction and tried to escape, but
bis poor horse was too much exhausted to beal
him with sufficient speed With savage yells
they plunged their rowels into their horses
sides and gained upon him. AS the foremost
approached within shooting distance, Logan
turned suddenly and sent bullet through his
brain Then, loading as he gallopcd ON, h,
soon made another bite the dust and then
another and another until four were strcwed
along the plain. Just then, however, as he
was again reloading, his horse stumbled and
fell, and the band rushed upon him before he
had we'll recovered from the shock. He was
shot with bullets and arrows, and gashed with
tomahawks, and pierced with lances; notwith-
standing all which, he arose amidst his foes
and with his dubbed rifle and hunting-knite
he piled around him five PROSTATE bodies, and
fell with his back upon their corpses and ex-
pired, still fighting.
lie was scalped, and hundreds Of warriors
held great war-dance over him.
Thus Logan Fontanellc departed, and his
noble spirit was followed to spirit-land by the
sighs and lamentations of his nation and the
sympathcs and aspirations of the brave Of
every land

The WHEAT CROP OF 1S55.-Every new
calculation of the quantity of wheat to be gar
nered in the United States the present year,
seems to be on the ascending scale. No one
thinks of reducing the sum given by the Gen.
sus takers In 1850, the amount of the crop
is stated officially to have been within frac-
ton of 100,O00,000 bushels. That was pro-
ductive year, and the crop of Ohio was nearly
3O,0O0,00 bushels. Mr.. Cist, editor of a
commercial paper in Ohio, put down the total
this year of that State at 4O,000,0OO, and
computes the whole yield of the States and
Territories at 1S5, 100000. Mr.. Cist has been
for 40 years engaged as statistican, and pla-
ces good deal of confidence in his own fig
ures. He regards the seven States-Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, lows,
and Missouri-as the chief wheat bearing
States, from whence comes all the surplus
sent abroad, the others barely producing en-
ough for their own supply, and his calculation
is based upon the probable yield in those Sec
tions This mode of computing the supply is
not understood, he thinks, by the people in
the Atlantic States, and hence they are liable
TO err in their Judgment With all the high
estimates Of the harvest, however, prices are
provokingly slow in "coming down."

PULPIT ELOQUENCE.

In the life Of John Flavcl, Il renowned dis
scntn@ preacher of England, it is said "one
of those omcn> which arc supposed to an,
nnuncc future cmincncc, accompanied his
birth. \ pair of nightcngalcs made their
nests on the window of the chamber of his
mother, and with their delicious notes sang
the birth Of him whose tongue sweetly pro-
claimed the clad tidings which gave songs in
the night" | cannot assert that the orator.
cal distinction Of John G. Burris was prece
drd by any such incident, but it has seldom
been my fortune to hear more mellifuou:
and sclative speaker. In very early life, ;
student in Washington city, heard the ia
NOUS Summcriicld, young Methodist intine
rant His face and form were of womanly, al
most of angelic beauty. \ divine lustre
hcamcd from his eyes. His clear, full, sonor,
Gus voice fell like the tones of mountain bell
one moment, and anon, came crashing and
laundering down with terrible effect on the
startled masses, forcing them to cry aloud and
crowd together with uplftcd arms, as though
for shelter from an impending avalanche
His cloqucnce shook sin from its citadels and
dragged vice and fashion from their 'pride Of
place" The sensation he produced was tire.
mcndous Multtudcs followed his steps,
As preacher he lowered alongside of Whit,
field, but he soon went down to the grave,
consumed by his own fire, and called to a
higher sphere for some inscrutable purpose.
1t is related of Bossuct, that when he pro.
nounccd the funeral sermon of the Princess
Henrietta and described her dying agonies,
the whole audience arose from their seats with
terror in every countenancc.
When Massillon ascendcd the pulpit on the
death of Louis XIV, he contemplated for a
moment the impressive spcctacle-thc chapel

raised over the bier-the dim but vast apart.
ment filled with the trophies of the glory Of
the monarch, and with the most illustrious
persons in the kindom. He looked down on
the gorgeous scene beneath, then raised his
arms to heaven and said in solemn, subducd
tone, "-)hs .tcres, Dicu scml est grand"-
With one impulse all the audience arose, tur;
ned to the altar reycrently bowed
When DR.. Hussey preached at Waterford
on the small number of the elect, he asked
whether if the arch of heaven were to open
and the Son of Man should appear to judge
his hearers, it were "quite certain that three
that two-nay, trembling for myself as well
as for you, is it certain that one Of us" he ex'
claimed in voice of thunder, "would be sa,
ved?" During the whole of this apostrophe,
the audience was agonized At the ultimate
interrogation, there was general shrek and
some fell to the ground.
B. Brioaine, French Missionary, and the
peer of the most renowned orators of that elo'
quent nation, preached sermon at Bagnole:
At the end of it he lifted up his arms and
cried in a loud voice, Oh Eternity At the
third repetition of this awful cry, the whole
party fell on their knees. During three days,
CONSERVATION pervadcd the town. In the pub
lie places, young and old were heard crying a
loud, Mercy. o Lord, Mercy.

MEMORY.

Say, in the introduction to his celebrated
work on political economy, tells us that he
studied all the books he could find OH the sub
iect upon which he intended to write-and
then took time to forget what he had read, be-
fore beginning to write. Do we thoroughly
comprehend what the memory retains in the
gross Are facts properly generalized, digest
ed, assimiated, and made part and parcel of
our mind till they are in great measure forgot
ten ? Is not good memory mental dyspep-
sia, that retains intellectual food undigested,
and disgusts the listener Or the reader by bring
ing it forth in the gross, just as it was swal-
lowed ? Who has not been bored thousand
times by friend with fine memory? Such
a friend always remembers to forget, that he
has retailed the same learning or the same
story to his impatient listener hundred times
before.
Probably every body has enough of memory.
No one forgcts what interests him. The dull
bows who cannot remember line of book,
are the very boys who never forget name, or
face, or foot-path. 1t is want of interest
and attention, not want of memory, that makes
them dull The twenty -four books of Homer
were easily retained in mans memories, before
writing was invented. Men have now learned
to forget, and consider such power of memo
ry almost incredible.
How unfortunate we should be to recollect
everything We saw or read Some men are
thus unfortunate, and are the poorest thinkers,
and most intolerable bores in the world. We
sometimes think that excess of memory is the
