A Story for Boys.

Business called me to the United States
Land Office. While there, lad, apparently
l6 or II years Of age, came in and presented
&c ti6cate for forty acres of land. was
struck with the countenance and general
appearance Of the lad, and inquired of him
for whom he was purchasing the land. The
reply was,

l then inquired how he had got his money.
He answered, i earned it, Feeling then an
increased desire to know something more
;; about the lad, asked him whether he had
any parents and where they lived. At this
question he took seat and told the follow.

sisters. am the oldest child. Father is a
drinking man, and often would return from
his days work drunk. Firding father would

Mary to the weary looking waiting maid as
she averted her swollen eyes from her gaze,
and taking the lamp from her hand, Mary
passed up to her chamber. So noiselessly
was the fall of her light foot on the carpet
that Mark did not know when she entered.
He sat with his back to the door, bending
over the cradle till his white snow locks
touched the babes cheeks, talking to it to
begule his lonliness.
'Mary's forehead--Mary's eyes-Mary

rose bud is like chestnut burr. You will

on her knees at the cradle of her child, and

The Iceless Polar Sea.

We are desired to publish the following
interesting communication in relation to the
iceless Polar sea. I'm the recent discussion
and speculations touching the existence of a
North Polar (open) sea. superinduced by the
publication of the work Of the lamented DR..
Kane and others, have been somewhat sur
prised never to have met with any allusion
to a tract entitled, "A Brief Discourse of a
Passage y.the North Pole to Japan, China,
&c., pie AIDED by three experiments, and an
swer to all objections that can be urged
against a passage that way, by Joseph Max
on, Fellow Of the Royal Society. From said
document make the following verbatim ex-
tract, to wit:
Being about % years Of age in Amster-
dam, went into drinking house to drink a
Cup of Beer, for my Thirst, and sitting by {.
public Fire, among several People, there hap
pened Seaman to come in, who seeing a
Friend of his there, who he knew went in the
Greenland Voyage, wondered to see him for
it was not yet time for the Greenland Fleet
to come home, and asked what accident had
brought him home so soon, his friend (who
was the Sherman aforesaid, in a Greenland
Ship that Summer) told him that their Ship
went not out to fish that Summer, but to get
the lading Of the whole Fleet, to bring it to
an early Market, &c.
But said he, before the Fleet had caught
fish enough to lade US We, by order Of the
Greenland Company, sailed into the North
Pole and came back again. Whereupon (his
relation being Novel to me,) l entered into
discourse with him, and seemed to question
the Truth of what he said, but he did insure
me that it was true, and that the ship was
then in Amsterdam, and many of the sea-
men, belonging to her, to justify the truth Of
it, and told me moreover, that they had sail
ed two Degrees beyond the Pole, l asked
him if they found no land or islands about
the Pole? He told me No, there was free
and open Sea. l asked him if they did not
meet great deal of ice? He told me no,
they saw no ice. asked him what weather
they had there he told me fine warm wea-
.her, &c.
10 the tract from which the above ex-
tract is taken, there is no date, but infer
the period Of Mr.. Maxom's conversation with
the sherman to have been in the year 1916

Little Ellen's Obedience.

Little Ellen had pretty white dog, NAM
ed Fido, that she loved very much. She
would play with him for hours, and was very
careful that nothing should harm him. One
day her mother wished to visit neighbor,
and fearing that Ellen, who was very little
girl, might 60 too near the stove, or meet
With some other accident, if left alone in the
house, told her to take Fido and play in the
ward until she returned. She had been gone
but short time, when large dog came bv
the gate and turned into the house, through
the kitchen door. which stood open. Fido
ran in too, that he might have trolic, but
the large dog bit him and chased him about
the kitchen, while poor Fido tried to get a.
way, and yelped to his little mistress to come
and help him.
Little Ellen looked on in great distress,
wishing to save her little playfellow, but did
not venture into the house. Soon some
children who were going home from school
passed by, and told Ellen that if she would
20 in with them, they would help her to gel
Fido away from the great dog. But Ellen
said
mo, mother told me to stay out here, and
cannot 60 IN.
The children urged that when her dog wal
in such danger, her mother would not care i
she did 20 in lust for moment" and come
right out again.
No-Ellen stood firm:
"Mother said stay here, and l cannot disc
hey her."
While they were talking about it, som,
men came hastily into the yard, and asked il
thew had seen great dog go BY. Hearing
that be was in the mouse, they vent in ant

bitten many cattle before reaching Ellen
home. 1t was found that he had killed poo

Cancers and Tobacco.

A little time previous to his death re-
ceived the following letter from DR.. John g.
Warren Of Boston:
DEAR SIR: For more than thirty years !
have been in the habit Of inquiring Of pa
tients who came to me with cancers on the
tongue or lips, whether they used tobacco
and if so, whether by chewing or smoking.
If they have sometimes answered in the neg
atiye as to the first question, l can truly say
that TO the best Of my knowledge and belief,
such cases are exceptions to the general rule.
When, as is usually the case, one side of the
tongue is affected with liberated cancer, it
arises from the habitual retention Of the to-
bacco in contact with this part. The irrita-
ton from cigar or tobacco pipe frequent
ly precedes cancer Of the lip. The lower lip
is more commonly affected by chneer than
the upper in consequence of the irritation
produced on this part by acrid juices from
the mouth. Among such substances, what is
more likely to cause morbid irritation ter
mina,irg in disease, than the frequent appli-
cation of tobacco juice?
Aged persons are very liable to cancer, es-
pecially about the face, and when an irrita-
ting substance is applied the skin becomes
discolored anG takes on cancerous action.
This irritation RAY be produced, as already
stated, by the use of tobacco in the interior
of the mouth, by the habitual application of
cigar to the lips, and even pipe applied
to the same parts. Few days pass without
an opportunity Of Witnessing veri6cation Of
these facts, and at the moment of writing
this, such case presents itself for my opin'
ion. The patient is farmer, healthy except
that he has formerly used spirituous liquors
about fifty years old, an habitual smoker who
two years since was afflicted with cancerous
liberation of the lower lip. The primary
disease was removed by an operation, and
the wound healed, but soon after, numerous
lymphatic glands on both sides Of the neck
began to display the effects Of cancerous poi
son, and there are now developed number
of large very hard punches, which must con
tinue to grow until they produce fatal ter
/ mination.
The want of attention to cleanliness one,
connected with this practice, and the conse
quent lodgment Of the particles Of tobacco
|. on the surface of the lip has, as already sus
! gested, great influence in these cases. Thi
would naturally suggest an inquiry whethe
those who have been in the regular habit Of
= general and exact cleanliness are so aAecte
with external cancer as others. think the
; are not.
? But you ask why do not all tobacco chew
1 ers have cancers on the tongue and !ips7
d answer, because they are not predisposed.-
=. You smile, but there is something in thi
e predisposition. Its cooperation is necessar,
Where has the predisposition arisen in ,h
case? The patients parents and ancestor
had no cancers SO far back ~ he knows

Sad Words.

The little threads break one oy one,
That bound my heart to thine;
Loves like the silkwOrms web is spun,-
AS perilously fine.
The maiden in the ceaseless mill
Watching the parting weft.
Stands ready to repair the i'll
With fingers fast and deft.
1t snaps beneath an angry word,
Meath an unloving look;
Frowns are more trenchant than the sword,
Or Autumn's reaping hook.
But no fourth sister waits beside
Those fatal hands which sever
Life's clue. which, like Loves thread united
Is joined again, ah, never
Once a Week.
