There is no troupe Of Singers and Swiss
Bell Ringers SO deservedly popular as the
old Alleghanians who are to appear at Mu-
sic Hall on Monday evening, December
18th, 1870, We copy the following hat-
tering notice Of their concerts. The Lon
don (Englapd) Daily Times. whose cor
rect IN usical criticisms are copied over the
whole continent Of Europe, says of them
No such performance on hand bells has
BEEN heard Ia London l0ithih our memory =
TO say that the music produced by these
extraordinary bellringers is sweet, is to
mention its smallest merit. 1t is some
thing more than sweet. 1t is not only
melodious but pure, tender, sympathetic,
and expressive TO degree to which
no written description can do adequate
Justice" AZ

Take Care of Your Teeth.

Rousseau said that no woman with
fine teeth could be ugly. Any female
mouth with a good set OF teeth, is kiss
able. The too early loss of the first
teeth has an unfavorable influence upon
the beauty and duration of the second.
The youngest children should according
ly be made to take care of them.Al that
is necessary is to brush them several
times day with little ordinary soap
or magnesia and water, After eating,
the particles of food should be carefully
removed from the teeth by means of u
toothpick of quill or wood, but never
of metal, and by thread passed now
and then between the teeth. Cam
phorated and acid tooth powders are
injurious both to the enamel and the
gums, and if employed, every particle
of them should be removed from the
mouth by carefully rinsing. The habit
which some ladies have of using bit
of lemon, though il may whiten the
teeth and give the temporary llrmness
and color to the gums, Is fatal to the
enamel, as are all acids. No one, young
or old should turn their jaws into nut
crackers; and il is even dangerous for
women to bite off, as they often do, the
ends of thread in sewing. 1t is not safe
to bring very hot food or drink, espec-
tally il Immediately followed by any
thing cold, in contact with the teeth.

By the Peach-Tree Wall

Where the manor house garden is tangled the
most,
BY the door In the peach-trec wall
You bade me farewcll--for an hour. AS Won
thought
But we parted for once and for ALL
Through the long white glare, how the peonie,
famed
In the noon of the July day,
AS you crossed the grass with the gold on YOU
hair,
And the crickets leaped up where they lay,
The sunfowers, unwinning, looked STRAIGHT n,
the SOUTH
And the hollyhocks stood tall:
And the butterflies wavered, brown. azure and
red,
In the bush by the peach-tree wall.
After midsummer days with never night,
Came the winter, the chill and the rain:
When the hollyhock's life was asleep In the
ground,
TIL the peach blossoms fiowored again.
And the wearlsome months of waiting In vain.
Ever stealing my youth from me,
Ever straining my eyes through the darkness
Ever stretching my arms DER the sea.
For the fire of that sutry summer sun
Has burned down so deep in my heart
Though years and the autumn bring calmness
my dear,
am scarce now content TO part.
FOR sun when the July moons ara come,
And the holyhocks grow tall,
walk and dream dreams we dreamed, my
dear,
Under the peach-tree wall.
When the passionate llfcstrlfe is over,
The folly, the chill, and the pain,
a shadow, in shadowless noontidc,
Perhaps may walk here again.

what does this mean ?" said Coe.
"You wanted me to look up your dog,
didn't you"
"Certainly."
"You expected to pay any expense

"Of course, any reasonable expense"
"Well, that's just what I've been do
ing. l have been boarding around at

traces of your dog; but l haven't yet"
He was excused from any further
search in that way.
Once, in Cleveland, Fred was solicit
ing passengers at the docks for the Buf.
falo boats. AS the boat was about to
leave, carriage drove furiously to the
dock, and out got Il ponderous puffy
man, with an immense expanse of
white shirt bosom, followed by an
equally fat wife, with nurse and sew
eral children.
''This way for the Buffalo boat :"
shouted Fred.
The man with the broad shirt bosom
wanted to know what the passage for
himself and family would amount TO
before going aboard.
"Tell you in II minute" said En-
mons, whipping out big red pencil
used in filling out posters.
Then, before he knew what he was
about, Fred had it all figured out on the
old fellows broad white shirt front!
There was moment of speechless rage
on the part of the man rs he cast his
eyes from the big red figures on his
shirt bosom to Fred, who looked the
very image of guitless innocence at
that moment, and then he pitched in
and gave Fred such Il whaling that he
was laid up in bed for six weeks after.
To most people it would seem to be
ways declared it was "worth it," He
said the astonishment on the old mans
face when he saw the figuring was
"better than to be licked TO DEATH"
We should say so.
Fred was great boaster. He boasted
too much and too loud one day. He
had been absent from Cleveland for a
long time, and, coming back one day,
he said he had been to California and
the gold diggipgs, and brought back
lots of gold. Some fellows who believ-
ed the story followed him out of sa-
loon one night into lonely street, and
murdered him for his money. They
didn't find cent about him to reward
them for the bloody deed. Poor Fred
If he could say anything about it he
would say it was "a good joke on

The Brave at Home.


The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles,
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As e'er bedewed the field of glory!
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And braVely speaks the cheering word,
what though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly In her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field OF battle!
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brief,
Kisses the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor!
