the introduction of your Sewing Machine into our

During the past two years we have had five of
your Sewing Machines in constant use and large

POE T r Y.
LOVE Up A TREE.

There was . seat in the apple tree,
most delightful and cosy nook:
And one afternoon about half past three.
Kitty sat there reading book.
Her fair head bare with no hat TO mar,
And her dress just showed one dainty boot;
And he saw her as he smoked his cigar.
And he came and stood At the ladders foot.
Kitty half blu.hed, and then smiled and said,
Won't you come up and sit here nowV'
And Ktty's brother, q boy to dread.
Saw and determined 10 raise . row;
So he crept softly under the tree,
Listening to all they had to say,
Did the impish brother and sly a. could be,
Seized the ladder and bore il eway
Then they saw him, and she with Q frown
Said. What will that awful do nextg'
And she called him the greatest scsLp in town.
Yet don't believe she was very much vexed
For her lips half smiled though her eyes hall
cried,
As she saw the position of matters now.
And he came over and sat by her side,
Leaving his place on the opposite bougb
What could they do, They ~ere captives there,
Held rs If by an iron hond.
Kitty tossed back her golden hair,
And refie ctively leaned her bead on her hand
IF, said she, 1--WE for help should call
They laugh to see us in such plight.
SO we'd best stay here till the shadows fall,
Or some one or other comes in sight
And some one did come. 1t WAS Kitsys papa,
Who past the tree his footsteps traced,
Ard saw through the leaves lighted cigar,
And masculine arm round . feminine wais,
Kitty looked down and blushed At one,
And then looked up and blushed at the other
Said hsr father, These are nice goings on 7"
Said She TT was all the fault of my brother =
What was the end of it. I'll tell you that,
Some months after. mid silks, and lace,
And ribbons, and ruches some ladies sat,
VINO were discussing the time and place.
As TO when-so ran the debate
And where certain wedding should he:
And that mpish brother was heard to state,
1t had better come OF in that apple tree"

HISTORY OF JULY.-July was originally
designated ''QuintIllus." in reference to th.
fifth place in the Calendar. 1t having been
the month in which julius Caesar was horn.
after the death of this emperor the name
was changed to July in homer of this war
riOr. Our saxon ancestors called it Lrv
month, because; they usually moved and
made their hay harvest. July is allowed. all
over the northern hemisphere TO be the
hottest month in the year, and its great
heat led to a superstition among the
Romans which still prevails They
conceived that the great warmth ami the
diseases and other calamities flowing
from it were somewhat connected with the
rising aud setting of the star Canicua- the
little Dog in coincidence with the SUM- They
accordingly conferred the maine of the dog
days upon the period between 3D. of July
and the 1lth of August. This star does
not rise now in coincidence with the sun
until the latter part of August.

Diligent search was made for her by Mr..
Dees and his neighbors that night and the
following day. without being able to find or
hear any tidings of her. A considerable
number Of our citizens. ,slsO contributed
their assistance in looking for the unfortu-

sad news. In. sbsut three isensss after their
departure. they returned, and reported that
the body had been found in the north fork of
Contrnbaud or Sand Bayou. one of the
tributaries of the Calcasicu River. about
two miles from this plnce. She whssnttired
in black calico dress. aud had on shoes
and stockings when she left Mr.. Dees'

the deceased attempted to cross is about
twenty feet deep, and rarely fails how
enough to be fordable. A coroner's in

rendered that she came to her death by be-

A Device of a Dentist.

dentist of his acquaintance. as She wanted
a set of artificial teeth.
Her mamma accompanied her. aud iii
rected the dentist to insert them oD heavy
gold plates. in the highest style of the Mt.
without regard to expense.
On the first visit the young lady's stunps
were extracted. and soon she had a mouth
full of gold plate and pearl artificial teeth
which added greatly to her natural charms
and acquired grac.s. But the bill was nrt
paid and. after Il collector had worn out
some shoe leather AMI exhausted his patirnce
in trying to get pay from the mother the
dentist himself called, and. after passing
changed the subject and talked business
Mamma. of course. professcd t" be very
sorry that she was unable to pay the doctor.
but would certainly do so in few days. As
he was apparently about to depart. he casu-
ally asked the daughter how She liked the
teeth. and she replied That they were per
feet. and pleased her very much.
DO they ever slip or pain y"u - ask ed
the doctor.
VERY seldom, doctor. she replied.
''Sometimes they pinch me Il little. but
suppose that can't be avoided.
"Oh, yes said the polite dentist. pulling
pair of little nipPers from his pocket
''alow me to bend the plates IA little with
my niPPers, and it will not occur acain' ut

them.
The unsuspeciing maiden pulled them
out and handed them to the dentist. who
instead of nipping them with his pinclrers,
wrapped them mp in his pocket handker-
chief aud placed them in his pocket aud
politely but firmly told the bean'y that
when her mamma paid his bill she could
have the teeth again. and not before.
AS the girl was engaged TO be married Ia
well to- do young man who had never seen
her without teeth who was expected to re-
turn to the city and lead her to the hyme-
NAL altar in few days. that bin was paid
