A Beginning Of Coed Things.

Underthis title, the New York
Evening Post talks out bravely,
and does generous justice to those
OF whom it does not always speak
so well. 1t is in the impulsiye
earnestncss of such ut,erances that
we see the surest signs of that
great political reunion-the coop
elatiOn of the patriotic OF all par
ties against a common enemy
which the immediate future prom
Uses:
When tho Democrats Of the
House of Representatives yester-
day applauded the defeat of the
proposal for taking a million Of
dollars out o. the pockets -four
o~er-taxesa people to put it in the
pockets of few capitalists, calling
themselves the Pacific Mail Com
pany, they only anticipated the
plaudits of the just-minded men of
the nation. It was one of those
unmistakable outburts Of JOY which
follow a deed well done, and which
will have it's echoes wherever JUS
tice is respected and the principles
of sound government have sway.
1t was in fact putting a ring in the
nose of the Behcmoth of corrup-
ton, whose heavy tread has been
heard in all the Hobbies, and whose
fatal breath was polluting h o
whole atmosphere of legislation.
congress has already given away
Of the lands belonging to the peo-
pie more than two hundred millions
of acres estimated to be worth at
least two thousand millions of dol
larS-nearly the amount of the
public debt-and there are before
it other projects-no less than six
ty in numbcr-for surrendcring
equally enormous sums, either in
the shape of land grants or subsi-
dies. The killing of the Pacific
mail scheme is a first shot into this
prodigious bo1y of extravaganza,
corruption, and fraud; and if it is
] likely to be followed by others,
and we hope and believe it is, the

which is better, tooth powder or tooth
soap2 Where there is. "a tendency to
the collection of mucus in the mouth,
powder is better. When, however, the
enamel is somewhat worn away, and
great care is needed to preserve the
teeth, a soap is to be recommended
In the preservation of the teeth the
three following rules should be OBJ
served:
First-Careful avoidance of acids and
careful cleansing of the teeth with such
substances as render acids inert-for
example, alkalies.
Second = Occasional examination of
the teeth, in order that commencing
cavity may lie detected in due time
and the proper remedy resorted to.
Third Immediate removal of such
teeth as are decayed beyond reclama-
ton.
The speaker referred to the evidence
which tended to show that the art of
filing teeth and inserting artificial ones
was not of modern invention, but was
known to the ancient Romans. He
gave an interesting reference to devia-
tons from the usual mode of devel-
opment, and closed by appealing to
the love Of admiration possessed by all
mankind, entreating his hearers, for
the sake of personal appearance, if
from no other motive, that they take
care of their teeth.-[San Francisco

A DYING WIFE TO HER HUSBAND.

Come near me, let me lay my hand
Once more npon thy brow.
AnGilet me whisper in thine ear
Loves last and fondest vow.
The lips that breathe these trembling
words,
When they lie cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm and loving breath. a
I go from thee God only knows
How | have lOnged to stay
How have shuddered thus to tread
The long and shadowy way.
Faith tells me that soon must know
The love the blessed find;
And yet falter, while cast
A lingering look behind.
l see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterpess and tears;
But l can leave thee something still,
70 light thy weary years;
Young tender forms will cling to thee,
Perhaps will miss my tone,
And though they may not share thy grief,
Thou wilt not feel alone.
Fold them still closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
The motherless must know.
The world, with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make thee glad;
Bnt they must linger round the hearth
Still desolate and sad.
And, O, when time shall calm thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come
When thou wilt win another form
To share thy heart and home
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
A younger, fairer face,
| And bid thy children smile on her,
Who takes their mothers place.
But think not, could speak to thee,
That / would frown or blame,
Though they should love the stranger ono
| And call her by my name;
For they will speak to thee of me,
NJ memory is their trust.
A word. n smile, d look like mine
| Will call me from the dust.
Yet make my grave no place of tears,
But let the dear ones bring
To cheer their mothers home,
The blossoms of the Spring.
And there thou, too, may'st kneel,
And softly press the earth
That covers her, whose face once gave
A brightness to thy hearth.
Then will the forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou can'st forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, SO true to thee;
But, o, the Spring time of thy love,
Its freshness was for me.
May she be blest, who comforts thee,
And with gentle hand
Still guide our little trembling ones,
{ Who make our household band.
. She cannot know the tenderness
. That fills their mothers breast,
But she can love them for thy sake,
And make thee more than blest

THE WIFE.

The following beautiful and touch
ing lines are said to have been deposit
ted by loving wife, some months be-
fore her death, between the leaves of
her scrap book, where she knew her
husband would find them when she
was gone. They are full of sadness,
and a loving woman's nature, blooms in
every line. Her heart breathes forth
its sad requiem on her own grave, as
she lays herself down to sleep all alone,
and parts forever from him who should
be all to her in this world and the next.
Wife! wife! How inexpressibly holy
the name of wife! She is all that is
left to man of the beautiful paradise
from which he has wandered, and to
which he must return. She is all that
holds man up from the brute world and
stamps him with the pale semblance of
a God! She is all of Heaven, of Earth
and of mans Future, which is. left him.
In this world, she is his God, and the
power which elevates and guides, and
leads him on to the natural and ration
al consummation of his creation and
mission. Of all the joys of earth, its
wealth, its ambitions, its tinseled glo-
ries and sered pleasures, there is moth
ing SO inexpressibly dear to the heart
Of true man, as the companionship OF
his wife! Take from us, 0, God! all
Thou hast given-blot out from oul
sight forever the beautiful world !
darken our path to midnight gloom !
curse us with Affections mountain high
take from US every fiowret of the
hearth !-despoil us of manhood, fea'
ture and form! do all this, if in Thy
Providence, Thou wilt, but, O, God
preserve to us from all the wreck o
life that one dearest being of earth, (:
loving and true wife! But here i
