Gave our fraternal band

This scene, Thy Glorys glow,
Fills with the joys that flow,
So calmly bright,
From that stream near Thy throne,
Where Truth Eternals known,
And Faiths reward is shown,
Hopes land OF Light.
Garnered with lfe's own fold,
Richer than gems or gold,
Are thoughts Of Thee
In music's sweetest lays
Wen join in cheerful praise,
Such as the Angels raise
Beyond the sky

An Idaho Divorce Court.

There is in idaho Territory a Judge
who is well known as "Alec smith,
A woman brought a suit in his court for
divorce, and had the discernment to se-
lect particular friend of her own, who
stood well with the Judge, as her attor-
ney. One morning the Judge called up
the case, aud addressing himself to the
complainant, said: .
"Mr. H., don't think people ought to
live together when they don't want to,
and l will decree adivorce in this case"
Mr.. H. bowed blandly. Thereupon
the Judge turning to another attorney
whom he took to be the counsel for the
defendant, said: "Mr. NJ. suppose you
have no objections to this decree?"
Mr.. NJ. nodded. But the attorney for
the defense was another Mr.. NJ, not
then In court. Presently he came in,
and finding that his client had been di-
vorced without hearing, began to re-
monstrate. Alec listened a moment,
then interrupted, saying;
"Mr. NJ, it is too late. The court has
pronounced the decree of divorce, and
the parties are no longer man and wife.
But if you want to argue the case right
bad, the court can marry them over
again and give you crack at it.

A Presidential Stumbling. .-Senator
Ross, of Kansas, has High Words
with General Grant, and is
Rebuke ed

The New York Xcraid's Washington
special gives the following account of
an alleged interview between Senator
Ross and President Grant. Mr.. Ross
was admitted at the same time as old
Zach. Chandler, but had the first chance
to speak to the President
II came, Mr.. President, to talk to
you about the appointments formy State.
Having heard that you intend to make
certain nominations that do not harmon
ize with my desires, | came to see you
deem it worth while to consult those de-
sires in the least"
To which Grant laconically and inter-
gatively responded, "WelI, sir?"
This Presidential response was not in
the true manner to be relshed by the
Kansas Senator.
"Am l to understand that am right
ly in nfnrmed ns to yonr statad intentions
to disregard my preferences in the mat
ter of appointments, Mr.. President ?
inquired the Senator.
THAT is question hardly susceptible
of an answer, sir. To what appoint
ments do you allude? Inform me, and
then can reply rejoined Grant.
Senator Ross liked the second answer
as little as the first, but having come for
enlightenment he was determined not
! to go away in fog. The Senator,
therefore, with suppressed rage, ex-
planned the appointments. to which he
had reference.
"Frankly, sir" said Grant, II intend
not to make those appointment ;"
"What, sir! You scorn to accommo-
! date me in the least?" exclaimed Ross,
boiling over with rage.
"Sir, l believe have given you my
answer" firmly but sternly replied
Grant.
"This is not treating mo fairly, Mr..
President, not as one gentleman should
treat another" uttered Senator Ross.
II have no intention to be dictated to,
sir" said Grant, sharply.
"Nor have / to be insulted, even by
you, sir, were you twenty times the
PRESIDENT" exclaimed Ross, with his
ire stirred up to white heat.

Why Do Not Our Teeth Last Our
Life Time?

That they are made as perfect, if the
right materials are furnished, there cai-
not be doubt.
But are the necessary elements fur
nished to children as they are the young
of the other animals? And do we not
subject our teeth to deleterious intlu-
ences from which animals that obey
their natural instincts are exempt?
The forming young OF other animals,
while dependent on the mother, get
lime, and phophorus, and potash, and
slick, and all the other elements Of
which the teeth are composed, from the
blood or milk ofthe mother, and she
gets them from the food which nature
provides containing these elements in
their natural proportions.
But where can the child in its FORM
ing state get these necessary elements,
whose mother lives principally on
starch, and butter, and sugar, neither OF
which contains particle of lime, phos-

between his teeth, land desire that the
interview shall terminate"
"You and your desires may 60 to
hell!' roared Ross.
Leave the room, sir; leave the room,
or shall force you out!" thundered
Grant.
Ross took his departure accordingly,
in terrible rage, quitting the White
House like one rushing from the plague,
and hurried to the Capitol.
President Grant threw himself into a
chair the moment the door closed, and
wiped his brow with his pocket hand
kerchief, evidently much agitated. Old
Zach. Chandler approached, and was
thus addressed by the President;
Excuse me a few moments. After
that interview 1 must take little time
cool off,"
Such is the account which I have
learned, and which give substantially
as it came to me. do not vouch for
its truth, but have good grounds to be-
lieve that it is not very different from
the actual occurrence.

Almost too Soon,

A few days since there was a wedding
on Baronne street, New Orleans, cele-
brated with great eclat, and the newly
welded couple set out at once on bridal
tour. The ceremonies took place at four
o'clock in the afternoon, and at five
o'clock they were OH board splendid
steamer bound for upper Mississippi
AS soon as the boat was under way the
passengers crowded the saloon, and
mirth and revelry began to hold u fest-
val. "A dance was improvised, and joy
and merriment was protracted into the
''wee small hours"
Now it so happened that the room
next our newly married couple was oc-
cupied by a lively little matron and her
infant. Wishing to enjoy as much
pleasure as possible, she had entrusted
her babe to a servant, with instructions
to put it to bed as soon as it went to
sleep, while she herself went in to the
dance.
BY strange mistake the servant by
some means mistook the state room and
deposited the rosy infant in the bridal
couch. Now when the hour to retire
came, the groom led his blushing bride
to the door, and modestly waited out
side for her to disrobe and retire. One
can very readily imagine his astonish-
ment therefore, when he heard his name
called franticallv, and in accents of sur
,,r;sa onl ;cfr
Opening the door he looked in dubi-
ously, and said
"What's the matter, my love?'
20, Henry, look here
"Why, bless me it's !; baby"
"Yes, but oh, Henry, how did it come
here-do you think 1t is ours??'
"Well. no." replied Henry, solemn
ly, ~ think is almost too soon!'
"Oh! it certainly is! but then what
shall we do?'
Just then the anxious voice of the
mother was heard inquirng for the ba-
by, and it was restored to her, very
much to the relief of the young coup

forms no miracles. She makes teeth ns
glass is made, by combining the ele-
ments which compose them according
to her own chemical principles. And
this illustration is more forcible because
the composition Of the enamel Of the
teeth and Of glass is very nearly identi-
cal; both at least requiring the combina-
ton Of silsx with some alkaline princi-
pie. -..
Ifthen, the mother Of an unborn or
nursing infant lives on white bread and
butter, pastry and confectionery, which
contain no silex, and very little Of the
other elements which compose the
teeth, nothing short Of a miracle can

Good meat will make good teeth, for It

vegetables and fruits will make good
teeth, for they make them for mon-

Good corn, oats, barley, wheat, rye,
and, indeed, everything that grows,
Will make good teeth, If eaten in their
natural state, no elements being taken
out; for every one Of them does make
teeth for horses, cows, sheep, or some
other animal. But starch, sugar, lard,
or butter will not make teeth. You
tried them all with your child's first
teeth, and failed; and your neighbors
have tried them, and indeed all Chris

is that man or woman at forty with

A Piece of Business,

twenty years ago young man who
had PAID attentions to u bright, sweet
girl iora long time without making
anything that was even second cousin
to a proposal, was startled one evening
by the question, "Robert, do YOU want
to marry me?"
He tried to evade the point by asking
why she put such question to him.
Because, ifyou do not want TO mar
ry me you must stop coming to see mo.
No mocking bird around the red breasts
nest, you know"
Robert took the hint, aud with cool
goodnight walked home. What should
he care for gir! so rude as that? Good
company as hers elsewhere. He would
join the club the next day. He tried to
sleep, but couldn't. lie didn't quite
like the turn things had taken. The
figure plagued him. If he was a mock
ing bird, who was the red breast that
he was keeping away from such a fitting
partner?
"At any rate, one thing is certain,
Edna is smart as she is pretty" he said
to himself, land she means bus
mess"
The next morning Robert went to the
counting-room, when presently Joe
Mason came in and said, II tell you
what it is, Bob, you We're lucky in keep
ing out of the club. l have just paid
another assessment of fifty dollars, and,
what is worse, l meet such expensive
friends there that it costs more than l
eau earn to keep it up.'
IL was just thinking of joining the
club, - said Robert.
ut will be "A cool five hundred year
out Of pocket, and precious little salts
faction and no home feeling at that"
said Joe.
Robert hummed a tune when left to
himself 1t was long day. Business
had dragged. Everybody was pre-oc-
cupied, hurried, cross. Things went
wrong. He was glad to go home, only
it wasn't home. He took book, but
found himself trying to read the Goals
ia the CRATE and find figures on the wall
instead of the page. He threw himself
OH the lounge, bat it was dreadfully
dull. He stood it for some time and
then put OH his hat, and walked down
to the widow Cragie's. He stepped up
to the door as usual, but Edna was en-
gagged. He asked to have her called.
1t seemed month before she came
down. At last she appeared. He rose
from his seat and met her in the middle
of the room, aud said, Edna, have
come here tonight on business. am
tired of being your nocking bird, and
want to be your red breast; will you be
nay wife ?"
"When you say" said Edna, her face
suffused with bushes
"Soon as 1 can make nest, dearest, J"
Robert replied.
II believe both the red breasts join in
building the nest," said Edna, ''and
want to do my part"
This was twenty years ago. To-day
one Of the handsome mansions in one of
our cities is the nest Of welded pair,
whose life has been sweet as a birds
song, and whose hearts, like their af-
fections, are as young as ever. There is
a great deal more in putting little
straightforward business at the begin
ming of life than is generally sup
posed.

Remember that drinking retards eiu-
