Orators and Editors.

Compare the oratJr with the newspaper,
and we gain q faint glimpse Of the ubiaui-
tous power of the latter: TIE orator speaks
bat TO few bunIreis o. thou .ani,; the
newspaper add essss millions. The words
OF the orator may die on the air, The Ian
guage Of the newspaper is stamped on ta-
bles as I'm Jer.shab e as m3r5.e. The argu-
ments of the nra-oy may follow each other
so rapidly that majpri,y Of the audience
miy struggle net OF ratiocinat.nr; the res
ding OF a newspaper may be scanned at lei
sure, without fear of perpiexity. The pas
sion of an orator inhamss the whole assem-
bly,; the feelings of a newspaper eiectIfies
a cunrirent. The orator is for an edifice;
the newspaper for the world-the one shines
for an hour, The other 70: al time. The Or
ator may be compared to lightning, which
flashes over valley for moment, but leaves
it again in darkness; the newspaper to a sun
blazing ever the whole earth, and fixing on
the basis of its own eternity Printing has
been happily defined The art which pre-
serves ali arts Printing mikes the orator
mere than the orator; it catches up his dy-
ing words, and breathes into them the breath
OF life. It's The speaking gallery through
which the orator thun1ers in the year of
ages. He leans from the tomb over the era

Tie Wool-Cleaner; OF, a Practical
-. r-r Memory

A CLERGYMAN in Wiltshire, walking near
book, observed woman washing woul in
stream. This was done by putting it in
sieve, and then dipping the sieve ia tie
wuter repeatedly. till the o.became white
and .elean. He engaged in conversation
with her, and, from some expression she
dropped, asked her if she knew him.
80, yes, SIR" she replied, and | hope
shall have reason to bless God to eternity
to- having heard yor preach at W. some
years ago. Your sermon was the means of
doing me great good"
81 rejoice to hear it. Pray, what was
the sub;ect!"
'.Ah, sir. can't recollect that; my men,
orr is 30 bai"
"duw, then, can the sermon have done
you SO much good, if you tOn'i rene mber
even wilat i; was about!"
''Sir, my mind is like this sieve; the sieve
does not hold the water, but as the water
runs through, it cleanses the wool; SO my
memory does not retain the words hear,
but as they pass through my heart, by Gods
grace, they cleanse it. Now | no longer
love sin, and every day enrreat my Savior
to wasn me in his own blood. and to cleanse
me- from al sin "

Washington's Artificial Teeth.

A paragraph in the Boston Post lately,
stating that Gen. Washington had a set
of artificial teeth, for which he paid five
hundred dollars brings out an Dad CORES
pondent with bit of private history which
is worth max ing public:-Doy you know ;.
gentlemen, that that same set of teeth
changed not only the coun,eHance but the
character of Washington as the latter is
cener ally understood! Everybody has no.
Stuart and the 'Trumbull' portraits. The
lattsr is by tar the most spirited and martial
looking face, vet for some reason or other
i, has never been the popular fayorite. The
peculiarly of the Stuart picture is the vile,
unexpressve, grsndmotherly mouth, which
one sees to this day in all the engravings.
Blu, this face was not Wsshing,Un's but
was an exaggefation, or distortion rather
produced by his artificial teeth, which en-
Iirely changed the expression OF his coun-
tenan:e, giving it certain look ofmaternal
benignity that is not found in the Trumbul
hkenesses; printed before the dentist mad
earned his five hundred dollars" by job
which though very well in those days, would
now be reckoned 4 bung!ing piece OF work.
manship. These facts, though | have not
seen them in any biography oil Washington,
are Us well authenticated as hfs patriotism
or consummate generalshiP. Trumhuli and
Stuart were accustomed 10 tala o; the matter
together, and, in the coriesp'ndence OF the
liter there is an allusion to the artificial
teeth and the striking change they made in
the appearance OF the wearcr. IL may he
owing TO the TACT that the American people
like To contemplate the geniier qualities OF
Washingto rather than his stern and heroic
virtues, that they have always considered
the dentists portrait as the true one, though,
IN truth, il is as false as the teeth which
d stort it. The fault was not Siuart'S, who
painted his illustrious sitter as be found him;
but he had the misfortune 10 attempt the
here's likeness lin spite of his teeth" and
the result was such us might be expected.

Dangerous Curiosity.

An accident which, though comic enough,
might easily have had tragical ending, oc-
CURED the other day at Madam Tassand's
Exhibition. a medical student, exclaimiDg
the guilloiine in the Climber of Horrors,
took it into his head that the sOr: of yoke
which fits down on the shoulders of the
criminal, 10 hold him IN his place, would no.
be sufficient TO contine person who strug-
gled. His curiosity on this point led him TO
watch till the place was empty, and actually
put himself in, letting down the yoke. He
soon found that he was quite unable to lit tit,
and it at once fl ,shed in.o his mind tha; the
sharp axe which was suspended over the
neck could hot be firmly fixed or it would
not fall (asi; does) with touch. He was
afraid to struggle, least the shaking should
bring it down, at once deposit his head in
the basket of sawdust below him, into which
his eyes were OF necessity steadily looking.
Having stiyai some time in this plight,
he was overjoytd to hear the approach of
the visitor, whom he suppiiantly irnplored
to release hin. I'm thinking said the
gentleman "a Scotch Wis tor OF the metropo-
lis) 10 his wife. 'l'n thinking he must be
hired to show how the thing acts, and
think we'd better no; in,er'ere.' So the
luckess .tuden: was lie till Madame Tas-
san came in, and made fast the axe before
releasing him. The axe has been removed
and laid by the side, to prevent future acci-
dents.--Londen IFestiy Register.

The COnsiderate Doctor.

A poor girl who hsd jus: recovered from
fit of sickness gathered up her scan'y
earnings, and went 10 the doc or's Office to
settle her bill. Jus: at the door, the lawyer
of the place entered into the office before
her on similar errand.
"Wel DOCTOR" said he, 81 believe | am
indebted to you, and | should like TO know
how much"
"Yes," said the doctor, 81 attended upon
you about a week, and uhat should you
charge me ior weeks services, or what
do you realize, on an average, for week S
seryices!''
49," said the lawyer, "perhaps seventy
five dollars"
"Very well, then, as my time and profess
sion are as valuable as yours, your bill is
seveniy-fve dollars"
The poor girls heart sank within her,
for il her bill be anything like that, how
could she ever pay? The lswyer palC his
bill and passed out, when the doctor turned
to the young woman and kindly inquired
her errand.
81 came" said she, "to know what owe
you, although kuoS not az can ever pay
you"
81 attended you about week. said he.
'.Yes, sr.''
"What do you get per week!"
"Seventy-five CENTS" said she.
as that ALL" r.. ...r --a.
'Yes, sir.
Then your bill is seventy-fye cents
The poor girl paid him thankfully, and
went back with light heart. An old and
rich man of my acquaintance was once re-
marking to the doctor that no one earned
his money so easily as the doctor, or could
get rich SD easi Y. The doctor reminded
hun of the many losses incurred, as they
must visit the poor as we'll as the rich
We'll" said the old friend you must charge
the rich more, and then you can afford &c
lose b. the poor -
Not many weeks after, the old man was
Obliged TO employ the doctor for some time.
AT the last visit his bill was presented, and
strongly protested as enormously high.
"Bur," said .he doctor, "you know what
you told me, and have only followed your
advice"
Not a word more was said, but the amount
was Immediately paid.

The Old Man.

Bow low thy head, buy do reverence to
the ole man. Once like you, the vIclssi,
tudes of life have si;vereG the hair and
changed the round merry f,ce TO the worn
visage before you. Once that heart beat
W Ith aspiration co-equal to any that you
have felt aspirations crushed by disappoin,-
ment, as yours are, perhaps, destined TO be.
Once that form stalked proudly through the
gay scenes OF pleasure, the bedI-ideal of
grace now the hand of Time that wllhers
the flowers of yesterday, has warped that
figure and destroyed the noble carriage -
Once at your age, he possessed the thou
sand thoughts that pass through your brain,
new wishing to accomplish deeds equal to
nook in fame anon imagining dreams,
that the sooner he awoke from the better.
But he lived the dream very near through
The time to awake is very near at hand f;
yet his eye ever kindles at old deeds of dar-
ing, and the hand takes tirmer grasp on
the staff. Bow low the head, boy, as you
would in your old age, be reyerenced.
