LAME AND LAZY-4 Fdble.-Two beg
gars, Lame and Lazy, were in want of bread.
One leaned on his crutch, the other reclined
on his couch.
Lame called on Charity and humbly asked
for cracker. Instead of q cracker he receiv-
ed whole loaf.
Lazy. seeing the gift of Charity, exclaimed:
"What! ask cracker and receive loaf?
Well, will ask for a loaf, and shall expect a
loaf of bread: or, If l ask biscuit, she will
give me batch of bread"
Lazy now applied to Charity, and called for
a loaf of bread.
"Your demanding q loaf" said Charity,
"proves you are loafer. You are of that
class and character who ask and receive not I;
you ask amiss."
Lazy, who always found fault, not fortune,
and would rather whine than work, complain
ed of i'll treatment, and even accused Charity
of breach of an exceeding great and prec-
ious promise-ask and you shall receive.
Charity pointed him to q painting in her
room, which presented to his vision three per-
sonages, Faith, Hope and Charity. Charity
appeared fairer and larger than her sisters.
He noticed her right hand held pot of
honey which fed bee disabled, having lost its
wings. Her left hand was armed with whip
to keep off the drones.
"Dont understand it" said Lazy.
Charity replied: at means that Charity
feeds the lame and fogs the lazy"
Lazy turned to go. STOP" said Charity !;
"instead of coin l will give yon counsel. Do
not go and live on your poor mother, for will
send you rich ant"
erich antm echoed Lazy. "Where shall 1
find her?"
"You will ind her in Proverbs, sixth chap
ter and sixth verse;"

A Paragraph for Ladies.

Most of our fair readers have a decided
aversion to that part of their duty which falls
under the patching and darning denomination.
They are of opinion that a rent may be the &C
cident Of day, a darn premeditated poverty.
But If they only knew how pretty well-exe-
cuted piece of repair looks, when you see in it
warp and wool Of the bright threads of econ
omy and independence, and womanly thrift,
crossing and re-crossing one another, they
would lay aside embroideries and CROCHET
work, and take up, instead, the mending bas-
ket We rode down town the other day, and
the only occupants Of the stage were young
gentleman and lovely girl of, we should think
about eighteen. She was the prettiest, fresh
est looking girl one would want to see-there
were no traces of midnight parties and head
ache mornings in those peach-blossom cheeks,
and clear, bright eyes; and all the numberless
little items of her dress were as fresh and
trim as she herself-from the pink bonnet
strings down to the neatly fitting gloves, and
delicate gaiter boots. If we had been an old
bachelor, or young one either, we should GER
tainly have fallen in love with that girl, par
ticularly after we had discovered she was as
industrious as pretty. And how do you sup
pose we found ont? The handkerchief that
lay in her lap told us so. The neat little darn,
deliberately executed in its corner with its
small white stitches and skilful handiwork, had
tongue quite audible to our ears. Time and
patience and wise company had been there.
The gentleman sitting opposite saw the little
token also; we noticed his eye turning from
the handkerchief to the blooming face and
back, and back to the handkerchief again, and
we knew perfectly well what he was thinking
oEthe good wife the yong lady would make,
and how neat the husbands cravats and stock
ings would be. Poor fellow, the edge of his
shirt bosom was little frayed, and one or two
buttons were missing, whose detection the ar
rangement of his cravat-ends could not con-
ceal. Perhaps he had wife who didn't be-
lieve in mending and darning-perhaps he had
none at all. However that may have been. his
admiring eyes appreciated the darn on the
handkerchief more than If it had been the
richest and most sight-destroying embroidery

ed. Girls! don't shrink from . mending place

CURE TEETH.-They decay. Hence, un-
seemly mouths, bad breath, imperfect mastica-
ton. Every body regrets it. What il the
cause? l reply-want of cleanliness. a
clean tooth nerer decays. The mouth is
a warm places degrees. Gums and teeth
must suffer.
Perfect cleanliness will preserve the teeth to
old age. How shall it be secured? Use a
quill pick, and rinse the mouth after eating
brush and CASTLE soap, every morning: the
brush and clear water, at night. Bestow this
trifiing care upon your precious teeth-you
will keep them and ruin dentists. Neglect it,
and you viii be sorry all your lives. Children
forget Watch them, The first teeth deter
mine the character of the second set Give
them equal care.
Sugar, acids, saleratus and hot things, are
nothing when compared to decomposing be-
tween the teeth. decentralization may loosen
the teeth, long use may wear them out, but
keep them clean and they viii never decay.
This advice is worth more than thousands OF
dollars to every boy and girl. Books have
been written on the subject. This brief arti-
BILE contains all that is essential.-Dio Lewis,
