An INVALUABLE WASH FOR THE TEETH.
Dissolve two ounces of powdered
borax in three pints of hot water. Be-
fore quite cold add one tablespoonful of
spirits of camphor and two tablespoon
fuls of tincture of myrrh bottle and
cork tightly. Add one wine-glass of this
mixture to tumbler of warmish water,
morning and evening, and apply itwith
a soft brush or sponge rubber. This
solution will preserve and beautify the
teeth, arrest incipient decay, and pro-
duce healthy action on the gums, and
is the best thing wherewith to rinse the
mouth. 1t is an easy thing to whiten
teeth by the use of acids or corrosive
substances, but those will invariably
iniure the enamel, and thus produce
decay.

The Invalid-A Pen Picture.

See her pallid countenance, but a short time
ago the picture Of rudy health, the envy OF
the school and the pride Of the household.
She was always welcomed by her schoolmates,
for her 1.-the form and pleasing disposition
carried cheerfulness into their RANKS. Diligent,
punctual and exemplary, obedient and grace
full at home, she won the hearts OF all. But,
alas, we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and
rudy lips are blanched by Consumption The
voice once so enchanting in laugh and song il
feeble, husky and supplanted by a hollow
cough. Let US approach her couch gently and
take her hand. DO not shudder because of
the feeble and passionless grasp. The hand
once 30 hearty and plump is emaciated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords and tor
tuous veins are plainly mapped upon the sur
face. The pulse that bounded with repleton,
carrying vigor to the whole system, and i'm
parting life, beauty, vivacity, health and
strength, is delicate to the touch. The feeble
heart cannot propel the thin, scanty blood
with force. Must we lose her while yet in her
teens? Companions and friends gather
around with words of cheer and consolation,
and depart with moistened eyes and silent
steps. Must we lose her2 No! there is re-
lief! We can stay this destroyerof our happi-
ness and not suffer the loss of so bright
gem. Something more is required now than
dietary and hygienic observance, for nature
calls for aid and she shall have it. Take this
pleasant medicine. 1t is invigorating. How
1t allays the irritable cough, improves the APP
petite and digestion. and sends healthy
Jingle through the frame. The blood is en-
riched, nervous force increased, and the heart
bounds with new impulse. See her face
brighten by degrees; the color is returning,
her voice is getting clearer, and pleasant
words are spoken. The strength falters yet,
but is gaining. Let us take her out in the
warm sunshine. In a short time she will be
able to go without our aid, cheerful girl.
This delightful medicine must be God blessed.
1t is restoring health to our loved one. She
is emerging from her sickness sweeter and
nobler than before, and DR.. Pierce's Golden
has raised her.
S. Il. EGLAR, druggist, of West Union, o.,
says that DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

snow may vanish from the PLAIN,
Rloasoms from the dewy scd.
Verd are from the broken clod,
Mater from the riyrr-hed,
Forests from the mountains head;
NIGHT may brighten into day,
Noon ia midnight fade away;
Vet the SNOW shall come once more
When the Winter tempests roar;
blossoms each returning spring
I'm her laden arms shall bring;
Grass be green where plow-shares run
Rivers fash i'm Autumn's sun;
Time shall hid new forests grow,
Noon and night both come and go.
VT. though al thy soul complain,
rrAree things never come again.
Love may vanish from thy path,
Swept aside by woe and wrath
Hope may leave thee 10 despair,
Riches Nee like smoke in air,
Home forsake thee. friends deny,
Life itself beiit TO die;
But thy love may come once more,
Dearer than IL seemed before,
Hope renew its smiling charm,
Riches heap their subtle harm,
Home be built from out its dust,
Friends beguile to newborn trust,
Life revive It's joy aud pain.
Three things never come again.
Never to the bow that bends
Comes the arrow that IL sends;
Spent in space, its airy flight
Vauishes like lost delight
When with with rapid aim II sprang
From the bow-string's shivering twang,
Straight 20 brain or heart II fled,
once for all is course was sped
No wild wall upon its track
Calls the barb of vengeance back;
Hold thy hand before II 60,
Think before thy draw'st the bow;
Hurtled once across the plain,
No sped arrow comes again
Meier returns the chance that passed,
That one moment was Its last;
Though thy life upon it hung,
Though thy death beneath IL swung,
II thy future all the way
Now forever goes astray,
When the instant, born of fate,
Passes through the golden gate,
When the hour but not the man
Comes and goes from Natures plan,
Beams upon thy slow advance,
Never mere that time shall be
Burden-bearer unto thee
Woe and want must cry in vain,
Lost chauce never comes again
Never shall thy spoken word
BE again unsaid, unheard;
Well their work thy lips have wrought,
Joy, or grief, or evil thought
once for all the rune is read
once for all the judgment said,
Though il pierce, poisoned spear.
Through the soul thou hodest dear;
Though it culver, fierce and deep,
Through some stainless spirits sleep.
Idle, vain, the flying sting
That passing rage might bring;
Speech shall give 1t fangs OF steel,
Utterance all its might reveal;
Give thy tears of blood and fire,
Pray with pangs Of mad desire,
Offer life and soul and all
That one sentence to recall;
Wreste with its fatal wrath.
Chase with flying feet it's path,
Rue 1t all thy lingering days,
Hide il deep with love and praise,
once for all its course is sped;
None escape it but the dead
All thy travail is in vain,
Spoken words come not again!
