He grows positively vulgar It is evident that he must say something smart or burst At last, hap py thought he invokes the muses! They come and his surcharged feelings find vent in poetry Oh! tuneful Nine, he sings! Byron, great fa- voute of bis, somewhere says:
 The unquiet feelings which first woke Song in the world will seek what then they sought; As on the beach the waves at last are broke So to their extreme verge the passions wrought, Dash into poetry, which is but passion. Or at least was so, ere it grew a fashion,"
 So his passion dashed into poetry and gave the poor fellow relief. Simon, in his article, we regret to say, is by no means chaste, is per hsps rather vulgar. We give sample of it, but pray our readers to remember that it is a quotation, for decency forbid that we should befoul white paper with such words from our pen And we say apologetically for Simon that they-must remember that he was in pas

The Elrst snow Fell.
The snov had bugun N the cleaning,
And bosily all the night
Had been heaping Geld aud highway
With asilence deep and white.

And the poores: twie on the elm tree

The nolseless work Of the sky,
And the sudden hurries Of snow birds,
Like brown leaves whirling by,
thought Of mound Ia sweet Auburn,
Where little headstons stood,
How the flakes were folding u gently,
As did robins the babes in the wood.
Up spoke our own little Mabel,
Saying father who makes Il suowW
And told her Of the good Allfather
Who cares for US all below.
Again looked at the snow fall;
And thought Of the leaden sky
That arched DER our first great sorrow,
When the mound was heaped so high,
remembered the gradual patience
That fell from that cloud like snow,
Flake by fake, healing and hiding
The scar Of that dead stabbed wo.
And again 10 the child whispered.
"The snow that husheth all
Darling. the Merciful Father
Alone can make IL fall"
Then, with eyes that saw not, | kissed her
And she, kissing back, could not know
That my kiss was given to her sister
Folded close under deepening snow.

FIGHT ON HOUSE ToP.-Two masons
who were employed in building achimney on
TOP of new house on Congress street got
into quarrel yesterday, in consequence OF
too free indulgence in intoxicating liquors:
Tney maintained their precarious footing and
carried on the dispute by holding to the bali
finished chimney and striking at each other
with trowes over the top Of it. This method
of fighting being rather slow, one OF them
snatched up brick, and, needless of conse-
quences, hurled it at the others head: The
unfortunate individual who received this So
lutte toppled over and rolled off the roof,
while the victor coolly resumed his trowel,
and added few more bricks to the chimney.
Hearing no noise below, his curiosity induced
him to slide down to the caves ana look over, :
when his gaze was greeted BY the sight Of
his late antagonist scranbling up scatfold
pole, with vengeance in bis eye and no signs
of broken neck, whereupon he took to flight
and slid down on the opposite side, believing
bis enemy invincible after undergoing such
tumble Free Press.

What Should be Taught.

The Scientific American thinks our common
schools would have done a great deal more
good to the people if they had paid more at
tenton to the physical and mathematical
sciences. There is a great deal of truth in
the observation. Probably fourfifths of the
pupils of our common schools are destined to
make their living in some Of the mechanical
arts, or in the workshops of the country.
Yet how very little does the practical train
ing they receive in our schools fit them for
eminence in their professions. Natural phil
csophy is ignored just as much as if no such
knowledge existed Boys leave school to
work at trades, knowing nothing at all Of the
principles of mechanics, which lie at the
foundation Of their professions. Great care
is taken with them in elegant and ornamen-
tai pcnmanship, but not single hour is de-
voted to the drawing Of mathematical figures,
Or to making practical draughtsmen of the
pupils. Geometry is scarcely touched, gram
mar and geography being considered more
important. Hence much Of the information
which the pupil spends the earlier periods Of
his life in learning, is Of but little use to him
when he leaves school, and is TO- en- en-
tirely, unless his after pursuits reu are him
to keep up an intimate acquaintance with it.
That which would have been practically use
full to him, and which would have made his

band is," said poor Mary. "Whom God hath
joined together, let no man put assunder."
She took up the glass Of spirit.
"Surely you are not going to drink that 2''
asked Tim, in huge astonishement..
"Why not? You say you drink to forget
sorrow and if brandy has the effect, am
sure no living creature has so good an excuse
for drinking as I. Besides I have not eaten
mouthful to-day, and really need something
to support my strength"
/" Woman woman! you are not going to
give the children such stuff as that !"-cried
Tim, as she handed each Of them glass OF
liquor.
"Wby not? Can children have better e1-
ample than their fathers? Is not what is
good for him good for themselves also2 1t
will put them to sleep, and they will forget
that they are cold and hungry. Drink, my
children; this is fire, and bed, and food, and
clothing. Drink-you can see how much
good it does your father"
With seeming reluctance, Mary suffered
her husband to conduct her home, and that
night be prayed long and ferVently, which be
had not done before for years.
The next evening, as he returned home
ward with steady step, he saw his oldest
boy run into the house and heard him ex-
claim go mother here comes father-he is
not drunkm Tears coursed down the parents
cheek, and from that hour he has not tasted
strong drink. He has never been vicious or
unfeeling, and as soon as his emancipation
from the thraldom of a debasing appetite be-
came known, friends, employment, and pros
perity returned to him. As for Mrs. Trues-
dell, she is the happiest of women; and never
thinks without joy and gratitude, of her first
and last visit to the dram shop.

Advice About Teeth.

AN eminent surgeon-dentist, residing in
London, gives the following useful hints about
tie care CT teeth. They are simple, timely,
and deserve attention:
Tn the first place, the teeth should be fairly
used. By this / mean, not made to perform
the duties of crackers for nuts, e1per:mented
on to ascertain their strength, cs, by ladies,
to rival scissors in cutting thread; for, rest
assured, in every case, more particularly the
last, the party having recourse to such prac'
tices will surely some day rue them; the
teeth, so UNIV; ttingly injured being always
first to part company with their fellows
Those who indulge in such or similar habits,
may truly be called the dentists friends.
Cleanliness is absolutely essential for the pre-
ser7ation of the teeth, and they should be
we'll brushed at least morning and evening,
that any feculence which may be attached to
them, either during sleep from the stomach,
or by day from meals, may not be allowed
permanently to adhere, causing, firstly, dis.
coloration, then tartar, and subsequently,, II

WhlIe travelling through tue lnul;.li cVlut.y
on their way out one OF the company, a
young man OF desperate character, from the
vicinity of GRANVILLE, named Haynes, declared
his determination to shoot the first Indian he
met; and unhappily, during the day they
overlook defenceless sGuaw, when be in
mere wicked wautonress, leveled his gun and
shot her dead.
His companions were horror stricken at
the blood-thirsty deed, but felt that they
had no power to punish him. The tribe to
which the squaw belonged was not far distant
when the deed was perpetrated. They dis
covered her ifcless borly, and saw at once
the manner OF her death. They pursued the
party of Illinois Pixies PeakerS, and in few
hours overlook them and demanded to know
who had committed the murder.
The company Of FIVE or six Peakers found
themselves surrounded by nearly two hun,
dred enraged Indians, who threatened to i'm
molate the whole party if they did not point
out and give up the murderer. Tosare their
own lives, they gave up Haynes to their ven
geance. He was taken by the Indians to a
Distance, while bis companions tarried on their
route to see what would be his fate.
After while the l. lians returned with
their victim literally fayed alire. they had
skinned him from head to foot. The wretched
being was still alive when brought back TO
his companions, but in torment. he lived
in agony long enough to tell how he had
been tortured, but was soon released by death
from unspeakable sutferings.

A Heartless Creditor Mournful Suicide.

n
The Chicago Journal records the suicide of
a baggage master on the Central railroad,
named Griffith. He had failed in the drug
business and was somewhat involved in debt.
The Journal says:
Soon after he obtained his new situation ut
a salary of sixty dollars per month, one of
his creditors, who held note against him to
the amount of one hundred dollars, sought
him out and requested settlement, proposing
to accept monthly instalments of twenty dol
lars each, until the whole could be cancelled,
thus leaving him forty dollars per month upon
which to live. To this Mr.. Griffith would not
accede, and no arrangement appears to have
been effected between them.
Subsequently his creditors sued the note,
and getting Judgment garnisheed his wages
for the past month, so that when pay day
came he found himself penniless, and utterly
without means to support his family for the
coming month. And to add to his difficulties,
he received notice from the company that they
would not be annoyed with garnishees, and
unless he could make some arrangements to
prevent tbeir recurrence, they should fill his
place. In this dilemma he sought out his
creditor Tor the attorney and requested him
to be content with $25 of the money, and
leave him S35 balance to support his family.
To this the creditor, in turn, refused to assent,
expressing his intention to keep what he had
got, but offered to accept $40 per month for
the balance, and not trouble him any more
with garnishees.

however, he says: Methought my life only
