y CHILD WITH THREE TONGUES
We read in an exchange:
Recently the wife Of John Crawford, slater,
Eve and Close, Dumiries, Scotland, gave birth
to a son, who EXHIBITS the rare if not unprece-
denied popularity Of having three tongues.
We saw the child and found it to be seeming
ly in good health, full size and in other respects
we'll formed. TIL middle tongue is the largest
Of the three; it is rounded at the top and is fas>
tened to the lower part OF the palate in such
way as to prevent the child from sucking
readily. Each OF TIE tongues is separated
from the other, aud those on each side do not
appear to cause the infant much Inconvenience.
The curious maltormation does not so far as
appearances go, result from disease. The
child has been seen by several physicians, and
they are Of opinion it would be advisable,
after he is little older, to liLcratc the middle
tongue from the palate by an operation.
Meanwhile, the infant is sucked by means of

Western paper thus afectionate-
ga pretty woman Is one of the institutions
of the country-=an angel in dry goods and.
glory. She makes sunshine, blue sky, and.
happiness wherever she goes. Her path is
one of delicious roses, perfume and beauty
She is sweet poem, written in rare curls and
and choice calico, and good principles. Men
stand up before her as so many admiration
points, to melt into cream and then butter.
Her words float around the ear like music,
BIRDS OF Paradise, or the perfumes of the
Sabbath bells Without her, society would
lose its trucst attraction, the church its firmest
reliance, and young men the very best comfort
ers and company. Her inhunce and generos-
ity restrain the vicious and strengthen the
faint hearted. Wherever you find the virtuous
woman you also find Preside bouquets; clean

music, light, and modern Institutions general

aspiration is the breath of heaven"
