AN INTERESTING RELIo-The Cincinnati Ca
zette says: "A relic, in the shape of an infants
shoe, that is now two hund red years old, is in
the possession of lady residing in our city.
The lady is about sixty years OF age, aud the
shoe was worn by the grandfather of her great
grandfather, in crossing the ocean when IN
infant, in the year 1860. There is a piece of
parchment attached to the shoe, giving its COM
plete history, which is very explicit and au-
thentc. The wearer of this shoe was the pro-
genitor of some of the most daring, as we'll rs
the most noted. patriots of the Revolution, of
whom Daniel Morgan, the hero of the COwpens,
stands foremost. This relic should be put in
some public receptacle for preservation

How TO ENJOY THE TooTH ACHE.-A Southern
paper gives the following capital directions:
To enjoy this detachable pain to its fullest
extent you should have 1t IN all its glory for
about week. Let the pain permeate and in.
sinuate it to every portion of the diseased mem
ber racing. jumping, and sprnging around
generally like rats 10 a corn-crib; let 1t ache
until you feel like it would be great relief to
hold your head up by the ears and shake out
every molar, incisor grinder and acher In it;
let 1t ache until you are doubtful whether you
stand in the position assigned you, or with your
heels in the air let it ache until you seriously
believe every bone, nerve and muscle about
your body is full of teeth, aud every tooth is
aching on its own hook, and then, when you
feel like you have enough pain 10 your ndivid
ual mouth to fit out an hospital-when you feel
like kicking yourself down stairs--when you
are exceedingly anxious to break your neck
then, we repeat, you will begin to realize the
tooth-ache.

THE OLD STORY.
Re came acros. the meadow pass,

Re came across the meadow pass,
That summer eve OF ewes
The sunlight STRAINED along the grass
And glanced amid the leaves;
And from the shrubbery below,
And from the garden trees
He heard the thrush's music flow
And hummng Of the bees
The garden gate was swung apart
The space was brief between;
But there, for throbbing ofhis heart,
He paused perforce to lean
He leaned upon the garden gate
He looked and scarce he bresthedi
Within the little porch she safe,
With woodbine overwreathedi
Her eyes upon her work were bent,
Unconscious who was nigh;
But oft the needle slowly went,
And oft did idle lie;
And ever TO her lips arose
Sweet fragments sweetly sung
But ever ere the notes could close
She hushed them on her tongue.
Her fancies as they come and 60,
Her pure face speaks the while;
For now IL il fitting glow,
And now a breaking smile
And now II is q graver shade,
When holier thoughts are there
An angels pinion might be stayed
To see a sight so iair;
But still thu hid her looks Of light,
Those downcast eyelids pale
Two lovely clouds, 50 silken white,
Two lovelier stars that veil.
The sun at length his burning edge
Had rested on the HILL
And, save one thrush from out the hedge,
Both bower and grove were still.
The sun had almost bado farewell;
But one reluctant ray
Still loved within that porch to dwell,
As charmed there &c stay
II stole aslant the pear-tree bough,
And through the woodbine fringe,
And kissed the maden's neck and brow, Er4
And bathed her IN Its tinge.
o, beauty of my heart I he said,
o, darling darling mine
Was ever light Of evening shed
On loneliness like timer
Why should ever leave this spot
But gaze until def
moment from that bursting thought
She felt his ootstep nigh.
Ono sudden lifted gance-but one
A tremor and a start
30 gently their greeting dono
That who would guess their hearty
Long, long the sun had sunken down,
And all his golden hail
Had died away to lines OF brown,
In duskler hues that fail.
The grasshopper was chirping shrill-
No other living sound
Accompanied the tiny r
That gurgled under ground
No other living sound, unless
Some spirit bent TO hear
Low words Of human tenderness
And mingling whispers near.
The stars, like pad gems at first,
Deep in the liquid sky,
Now forth upon the darkness burst,
Sole kings and lights on high;
For splendor myriad-iOld, supreme,
No rival moonlight strove
Nor loylier e'er was Hesper's beam,
Nor more majestic Jovo.
But what If hearts there beat that night
That reck cd not Of the Skies
Or only felt their inaged light
In ono another's eyesY
Aud II two worlds OF hidden thought
And longing passion met,
Which, passing human language, sought
And found an utterance yet
And If they trembled rs the flowers
That droop across the stream,
And muse the while the starry hours
Wait DER them like dream
And Ii when came the parting Time
They altered still and chung
What Is 1t ALLAN ancient rhyme
Ten thousand times besung-
That part OF Paradise which man
Without the portal knows
Which hath been since the world began,
And shall be till its close
