The Duty Of Owning Books.

IF, on visiting the dwelling Of a
man Of slender means, End tho fea-
son why ho has cheap carpets and very
plain furniture to be that he may pur-
chase books, he rises Mt once in my es-
TEEN. Books are not made for furni-
ture but there is nothing else that so
beautifully furnishes a house The
plainest row of books that cloth or pa
per ever covered Is more significant Of
refinement than the most elaborately
carved etagere, or side-boord. Give me
a house furnished with books, rather
than furniturel Both If you can, but
books at any ratel To spend several
days in a friends house, and hunger for
something to read, while you are tread.
ing on costly carpets, and sitting upon
luxurious chairs, and sleeping upon
down, is as if ono we're bribing your
body for the sake Of cheating your
mind. Is it not pitiable to,see a man
growing rich, and beginning to aug
ment the comforts of home, and lavish
ing money on ostentatious upholstery,
upon the table, upon everything but
what the soul needs2 We know Of
many and many q rich mans house
where it would not be safe to ask for
the commonest English classics. A
few garish ANNALS on the table, a few
pictorial monstrosities, together with the
stock Of religious books of his "persua-
sion, and that is ALI No range Of po.
cts, no essayists, no selection Of histo-
rians, no travels or biographies-no Sc
lect fctions or curious legendary lore;
but then the walls have paper on which
cost three dollars a roll, and the floors
have carpets on that cost four dollars a
yardl Books are the windows through
which the soul looks out. A house
without books is like a room without
windows. No man has a right to bring
up his children without surrounding
them with books, if he has the means
to buy them 1t is a wrong to his
family. He cheats theml Children
learn to read by being ia tho presence
Of books. The love of knowledge comes
with reading, and grows upon it. And
the love of knowledge, in a young
mind, Is almost a warrant against the
inferior excitement Of passions and vi
ces. Let us pity those poor rich men
who live barrenly in great bookless
houses. Let US congratulate the poor
that, in our day, books are so cheap
that man may every year add hund-
red volumes to his library for the price
of what his tobacco and beer would cost
him. Among the earliest ambitions to
be excited in clerks, workmen, journey
men, and, indeed, among all that are
struggling up in life from nothing to
something, is that of owning and con-
stantly adding to a library Of good
books. A little library, growing lar
ger every year, is an honorable part of
a young mans history, 1t is a mans
duty to have books. A library is not a
luxury, but one Of the necessaries of
life Henry Ward Beecher.

Advice about Teeth.

DR., Hayes, an eminent surgeon dent
ist residing in London, gives the follow
ing useful hints about the care of the
teeth. They are simple, timely, and
deserve attention:
"Iu the frst place, the teeth should
be fairly used BY this I mean, not
made to perform the duties Of crackers
for nuts, experimental on to ascertain
their strength, or by ladies to rival scis-
sors in cutting thread; for rest assuredI-
in every case, more particularly the
last--the party having recourse 20 such
practices will surely some day rue them;
the teeth so unwittingly injured being
always the first to part company from
their fellows. Those who indulge in
such or similar habits may truly be
called the dentists friends. Cleanliness
is absolutely essential for the preserva-
ton of the teeth, and they should be
we'll brushed at least morning and even
ing, that any feculenco which may be
attached to them, either during sleep
from the stomach, or by day from meals,
may not be allowed permanently to ad-
here, causing, firstly, disooloration, then
tartar, and subsequently, if ] may so
express myself, undermining the con
stitution of one or more, as from their
| position they may be more or less liable
to CorrOsion. In order that the teeth
should look natural-that is, retain
their natural color-a dentifrice free
from the smallest particle Of acid should
be used at the matin hour, and the
mouth rinsed with tepid water, for OK
tremes Of heat and cold are most highly
| prejudical not only to their color, but
also to their durability; and I know no
method so simple of converting a really
useful and ornamental set into ono Of
pain and subsequent extinction, than
the use Of washing in either one or the
other The person who habituates him
or herself to any extent, to hot soup,
/ tea, or other drinks, assuredly rivals
the friend to the dentist Just named.
Brushes for the teeth should be of me-
dium substance Of bristle, aud those
made on what is called the penetrating
principle arc best. would also observe
that children at an early age should be
instructed in the use Of the !ooth-brush
aud taught the value and importance Of
tho teeth, in order 10 inculcate habits
Of cleanliness and a due appreciation Of
the ornaments of the mouth A brush
properly selected (not too hardy may b,
used by children Of Eve years of age
every morning; and by being part ant
parcel Of the general ablution, and thu.
directing habitual attention to the toeth
d useful and oleanly habit will be en-
Igeudered which win probably ensure fol
them proper care through life"

FINDING THE LEAK

Mr. Murray Cooper, oomPlacently, as
he seated himself at an inviting supper

Mrs. Cooper was by no means intend

in the more limited circle Of her own

Mr. Cooper had "tastes, and a preee-

her husband assumed that charge and

What could be more perfect than
Dickens idea Of a true woman2 "a
true woman--he writes-"for whose am
bition a husbaud's love and her child
ron's alteration are sufficient, who ap-
plies her military instincts to the disci-
pline Of her household, and whose leg
islatures exercise themselves in ma
king laws for her nurse; whose intel
leot has field enough for her oommu-
uion with her husband, aud whose heart
asks no other honors than his love and
admiration; a woman who does not
think il wearness 20 attend to her
toilet, aud who does not disdain to be
beautiful who believes Ia the virtue Of
glossy hair and well-ftting gowns, and
who esohews rents and rayeled edges,
Blipshod shoes and audacious make-ups;
a woman who speaks low and does not
speak much; who is patient and gentle,
intellectual aud industrious; who loves
more than she reasons and yet does not
love blindly; who never scolds and never
argues, but adjusts with a smile; such a
woman is the wife we have all dreamed
Of in the backward distance Of tho
past"

A good name is above all price
Have you not found it so, young man;
you whose weIl-known virtues have pla-
ced you in the position you occupy
with feelings of commendable pride?-
And you whose fame has been the target
of envious tongues, have not you seen a
good name to be the only breast plate
that is impervious to the poisoned shafts
of calumny2 A light to render dark
ness visible; a gliding, which, by con-
trast, makes the substance more revolt
ingl Cherish it, then, oil ye who pos
sess it; guard it carefully; for, depend
upon this, its purity once tarnished, the
most unwearying effort will hardly re-
store it to its prime lustre, Let it attend
you through the journey Of life, crown
ing your days with peace and happiness
The rectitude which won it will engrave
it upon your face, a letter of recon
mendation to people Of every nation
and tongue; and when the treasure is no
longer needful to you, it shall descend
to your posterity--a legacy with which
millions on millions would not bear to
be compared.

GIRLS, listen to some good advice
you need it bad enough-there's no
question Of that;
Don't give your beauz a chance to
feel SURE of you. It's bad for them,
and it's worse for you. There are ex-
ceptions TO be sure; there are men who
may be safely trusted with the knowl-
edge that they are all to the heart Of
woman they are wooing; but such ones
are deplorably few. The ardor Of most
men lasts so long as lasts their uncertain
ty. Keep them off, and they'll grow
more devoted-bring them near and
they'll cool off as fast as a fat iron In
the snow. Let them think you care
little for them or their love, and they
will try hard to become worthy Of your
regard Not 1irt or strive to wound
their feelings--we don't mean that-hu-
manity Forbid but don't make yourself
cheap; just keep your own counsel; and
the more hopelessly in love you are,
the moro do you guard the knowledge
Of that fact from your lover. Keep it
down and in, all that you possibly can,
till the magic words arc said that make
you one, then take off the bands, but do
it gradually-"grow upon him." show
him by degrees the strength Of the pas
sion which he has awakened in your
soul Hebert.

OLD NEwsPAPERs.-Mauyp people take
newspapers, but few preserve them; yet
the most interesting reading imaginable
is a file Of old newspapers. 1t brings
up the very age, with all its hustle and
every day affairs, and marks its genius
aud its spirit more than the most labored
description of the historian. Who can
read a paper, dated half a century ago,
without the thought that almost every
name there printed is now cut upon a
tombstone at the head of an epitaph2-
The doctor (quack or REGULAR that there
advertised his medicines and their cures,
has followed the sable train Of his pa
tients; the merchant his ships-could
get no security on his life-and the ac-
tor--who could make others laugh Or
weep--can now only furnish a skull for
his successors in Hamlet. 1t is easy to
preserve newspapers, and they will re-
pay the trouble, for, like that Of wine
their value increases with their years
and old files have sometimes been sold
at prices too startling to mention.
