AUTUMN WINDS.
BY WILLIAM c. RICHARDS.

BY WILLIAM c. RICHARDS
We autumn winds; yc soft and signing winds,
That westward on your cloudy chariOts roll,
Vain are my easements folded, and my blinds.
To shut your sadness from my conscious ssul
In every breath ye moan glory gone
From meadows brown that yesterday were
From wooded hills, Of emerald splendors shorn,
Grown sere like locks that blanch with sudden
fright.
know. O winds, your arts, your def deceits.
That kindle now the maple -groves to flame;
Their gold and crimson are but gltterinc cheats,
And ruin turks amid their hues the same.
And We will hold your melancholy breath
Tomorrow. when the sun your wells shall rend
With rainbow splendors in the cloud to end.
shall behold, and marvel at, the show;
But catching yet the echoes OF your means,
shall translate the sign to sense Of woe.
That meath the painted mask the ravage owns.
Ye are but preludes, Q ye murmuring winds.
Which seem to soothe while mocking yet my
pain!
The scathed and shrivelled earth while winter
reigns.
I hear the trumpet Of the tempest ring
Beyond the cadence Of your paintive sigh;
The grapes ripe OdOrs to my sense ye bring,
But to beguile me while earth's glories fly.
l know, ye specious winds, what We would say,
That sc will come zephyrs in the spring,
And blow across the landfin Jnnc's sweet way
AS if your breath no winter airs could sing!
And were well content to have We pipe
Your plausive plants Of seeming sadness now,
And suck the sweetness Of your juices ripe,
II We would keep your signals of my brow.
would not dread the SHOWS Of which ye moan
Were they not symbols Of my own swift shroud !;
When that shall wrap me, We have no weird tones
To call Lies sunshine out Of Deaths cold
cloud.
o autumn winds! heard We once, and laughed
To mark the flush We bring on deep decay;
When youths free chalice with delight quafed,
Your maple flames warmed all my fears away.
But now read your signs by inner sense,
Till glow my checks with scarlet leaves to vie;
Life's June can charm me with no future tense.
And graveyard only all its shadows fly!
Ye autumn winds that vail about me now
This subtle meaning undertOnes your chant;
Since blow We must, breathe gently on my brow,
And this sweet solace to my sorrow grant:
That may know have not lived in vain
As all in vain sought your voice to shun!
And though Lies winter finds no spring again,
Immortal youth in Death may be begun!
--Christiaa Union.

The Teeth.

The great enemies of our teeth are
acids. A source of acid is the decompo-
sition of sugar in the mouth, which
changes to tactic acid. The saliva of
the mouth in its normal condition is
alkaline, and is an excellent preventative
If the enamel is smooth it furnishes no
lodging for foreign -todies, but if it is
rough, foreign matter accumulates and
turns to acid. This, having eaten through
the enamel, proceeds inward with rapid
march, and hollOws the tooth in q short
time if not arrested.
Extreme care should be taken that
acids do not remain in the mouth, neither
sugar nor other substances be suffered
to undergo decomposition there. The
greatest panacea for poor teeth is cleanli-
ness. Thoroughly brush the teeth, not
only night and morning, but always after
eating. An error frequently made in
using brush on the teeth, is that of
drawing it transversely across them, from
one side of the mouth to the other. This
practice long continued will produce
transverse assures, which finally become
80 deep that the teeth present an appear
ancs Of having been filed into. This
transverse brushing also has the PERM.
cious effect Of forcing the mucus into the
interstices between the teeth. The teeth
should be brushed from above downward
and from below upward-never from side
to side. The inner surface should also be
as carefully cleaned, and care should be
taken that no particles of food are left in
the interstices.
Dark tooth powder should not be used,
because it works up under the gums and
discolors the edges. Pure soap is good
dentrifice. A tooth powder must, above
all things, be alkaline, and should con.
tain nothing capable of becoming sour,
such as the sugar of milk, which is some.
times used. Whenever tooth powder is
praised for rendering the teeth very white,
It should be looked on with distrust, since
1t is pretty sure to contain some agent
that will attack the enamel. Tooth pow.
der should be so fine grained that when
rubbed between the fingers no particle
can be felt.
As the chief ingredient of tooth pow.
der, there is nothing better than carefully
prepared oyster shell or carbonate OF
magnesia. To flavor it, q small amount
Of calamus root may be added, which has
good effect on the gums. Prepared chalk
mixed with small amount of camphol
also makes . good tooth powder-San

manner, johnson hated prospects and

PIezzi for recording that johnson used to
say the best garden was the one which
produced the most roots and fruits, and
the river the most to be priced was the
one which produced the most fish. Tue
doctor numerically laughed at Shemstoue
for valuing stream according to its pic
turesqueness, and not for its productiveness.
Mrs. Piozzi believed that walk in a wood
when it rained was the obly rur-l image
which pleased johnson. The pleasure
then was perhaps derived from the thought
that the rain would swell the peas, or
make the turnips grow, or in some way or
other tend to the comforting of the inoer
nan. The feeling was akin to that Of the
epicurean who dwelt fondly On the orient
gale. which prospered the ship freighted
with sugar for his gooseberry pie. Il was
