Pleasure.

Blessed be the hand that prepares q
pleasure for child for there is no
saying when and where il may again
bloom forth. Does not almost every
body remember. some kind hearted man
who showed him kindness in the quiet
days of his childhood? The writer of
this recollects himself at this moment
as a barefooted lad, standing at the
wooden fence OF poor little garden in
his native village with longing eyes he
gazed upon the flowers that were
blooming there quietly in the bright
ness of Sunday morning. The pos
SCISSOR came forth from his little cottage
he was wood-cutter by trade-and
spent the whole week at his work in the
woods. He was come into his garden
to gather flowers to stick in his coat
when he went to church. He saw the
boy, and breaking off the most beauti-
full of his carnations-it was streaked
with red and white-gave it to him.
Neither the giver nor the receiver spoke
a word and with bounding steps the
boy ran home and now, here at a vast
distance from that home, after so many
events of SO many years, the feelings
of gratitude which agitate the breast of
that boy, expresses Itself on paper.
The carnation has long since withered,
but now it blooms afresh.

A London Earthquake,

On the 8th of February, 1850. all
London rocked to and fro with a strong
convulsion, and the people rushed into
the streets to avoid beng buried in the
totterlng houses. A month later. at
five o'clock in the morning, a far more
violent shock passed beneath the city.
The earth moved westward, eastward,
and then westward again, followed by
a aloudhoise like!thunder. Charles Wes-
ley, the famous preacher, had just given
out his text, when the Foundry in which
he held his service was shaken violent
ly as if the roof would fall. The women
and children cried out, but the preach
er, changing his text, read aloud,
" Therefore will we not fear, though
the earth be moved" etc., and soon
filled his audience with his own unshak-
en- courage. The general terror rose
almost to madness when an insane
prophet declared that on the 4th of
April another earthquake would level
London and Westminster to the
dust. A wild excitement ragged through
the city as the fatal day approached.
Thousands fled to the country. Wo-
men and children ran through the
streets, on the night before the 4th of
April, weeping and lamenting. Lon
looked like city sacked and ruined.
Every open space was filed through
the anxious night with multiudes of
rich and poor awaiting the expected
shock. The churches were crowded
with unaccustomed worshippers.
Whitefeld stood up in Hyde Park at
midnight, under an inclement sky, and
spoke with his sonorous voice to an un-
counted multitude; and Charles Wes-
ley, surrounded by immense throngs at
the Foundry, preached a written"
sermon and chanted some inspiring
hymns. The next day passed away in
quiet. The people came back to their
houses, and London has never since
felt so universal terror as that of the
year of the earthquakes.

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times Women call upon their family
physicians, one with dyspepsia, another with

are all symptoms caused by some uterine
disorder; and while they are thus only able
perhaps to palate for time, they are ignorant
OF the cause, and encourage their practice
until large bills are made. when the suffering
patients are no better in the end, but probably
worse for the delay. treatment, and other COM

directed to the cause would have entirely
removed, thereby instituting health and COM

got entangled in the mass, but. being
recognized by the Grown Prince, was
instantly rescued.
On coming into the street the police
were found driving the crowd and Cos.
sack horsemen charging to and fro.
clearing the way for the distinguished
personages. The magnificent bell of the
st. Petersburg church kept pealipp
during the day. Salvoes of artillery OF
100 guns were fred on the conclusion OF
the Greek service, all forming an extra
ordinary combination of ceremony.
wealth, pomp and splendor. After the
marriage rites there was banquet at
the palace, Mile. Adelina Patti singing,
and subsequently ball at St. Georges s
Hall, winding up with grand Russian
polonaise by the members of the I'M
perial family and the distinguished
guests.
AT the conclusion of the ball the
bridal couple were formally marched
to the bridal chamber, accompanied by
the Emperor and the officers of the
court. The festivities were continued
after the retirement of the happy
couple, the Emperor being present.
During the day the weather was sun
ny and warm, thawing the snow. There
was only limited display of popular
enthusiasm. An illumination of the
public squares of the city took place.
The festivities in England on account
of the marriage of the Duke of Edin-
burgh have been generally postponed
until the arrival of the bridal couple in
England. With the exception of special
services, salutes and peals of bells, Lon
don took little notice OF the event. The
provinces exhibited a greater amount of
Joy. In most of the provincial towns
there have been banquets, professions,
bell peals, bonfires, and outdoor gath
erings.
Windsor Castle, the residence of the
Prince of Wales at Sandrineham, and
the other buildings occupied by the
royal family, were profusely decorated
with bunting. Throughout the entire
country bells were rung in honor of the
nuptials, and marriage services were
celebrated in the English churches.
Flags were displayed from all the pub
lie and many private buildings in honor
Of the marriage.
Edinburgh was brilliantly illumina-
ted. In many places the trophies Of
the Crimean war have been removed.

The Longest Swim on Record,

The death of Samuel Brock, a Var
mouth beachman, recalls his extraor-
dinary escape in October, 1885. A
vessel was observed at sea about one p.
NJ, with signal flying for a pilot,
bearing east, distant about twelve
miles. Brock, who belonged to Layton's s
company, with nine others, launched
the yawl Increase. About four o'clock
they came up with the vessel, which
proved to be the Spanish brig Parquette
de Bilboa. Three of the beachmen
went on board, and the remainder of
the crew of the yawl were sent away.
On their way home terrific squall took
the yawIs sail fiat aback, and she cap
sized. In few minutes all the crew,
with the exception of Brock, were
drowned. 1t was then about half-past
six P. NJ, and the nearest land was six
miles distant-dead low water-and
Brock remembered that the flood tide
would be setting off shore making to
the southwark, so that should he ever
reach the shore he would have to swim
and float at least fifteen miles. The
swell of the sea drove him over the
Cross-sand ridge, and then he got sight
of the buoy of st. Nicholas Cat, nearly
opposite his own door, distant four
miles from the land. He had now been
five hours in the water. He next caught
sight of a vessel at anchor. He got
within 200 yards of the vessel ard
hailed her; boat was at once lowered,
and at half-past one A. NJ, having swan
seven hours and half in an October
night, he was safe on board the brig
Betsy, of Sunderland, nearly fifteen
miles from the spot where the boat In
crease was capsized.-English Paper.

An Australian Hangman.

Among other remarkable men who
passed away in the year Just brought
to close was one who deserves men,
tioning as having, although born in
this country, devoted many years in
the antipodes to work of great utility.
William Bamford, who died the other
day in Melbourne Hospital, had been
hangman of the colony of Victoria
since 1857, and also held the honorable
office of public fagellator until seized
one day with an asthmatic attack when
welding thecat.
Mr.. Bamford, who was seventy-three
years of age when he died, had himself
in the days of his youth received three
hundred lashes when serving in the 23d
Fusillers at Gosport, of which regi-
ment he was member for twenty
years. only leaving it, indeed, on ac-
count of some irregularity of conduct
which led to his being transported to
Van Diemen's Land, where he arrived
in the Royal Sovereign in the year 1S41.
Having served his sentence, he pro-
ceeded to Victoria, to the "diggings, {"
and remained unnoticed until 1857,
when he volunteered to hang an old
murderer, named Mason, in Melbourne,
and from that time until just before his
decease he executed all the criminals
sentenced to death in the colony, with
only one exception.
1t was Mr.. Bamford's practice to
keep count and mutter after an execu-
tion the number of his fellow-creatures
he had assisted out of the world. After
executing black man at Ballarat on
the 11th of August last, he was heard
to calculate, in a hoarse whisper,
" Seventy-one." In appearance he was
not prepossessing, and his claims to
personal beauty were not heightened by
the absence of one of his eyes, which
he unfortunately lost in row at Mel.
bourne about fifteen years ago. His
habits were not; strictly speaking, tenn
perate. Yet there must have been
something very taking" in his con-
VITALITY, for after an execution he was
wont to spend his money freely with
"a degraded lot" who were on the
lookout for him when he left the Jail.
On receiving notice that he would be
wanted for a hanging, he would, with
singular abstemiousness, voluntarily
lmprison himself for two or three DAYS,
and sleep off all traces of intoxication.
After pinioning condemned criminal,
he invariably murmured in his ears the
words God bless you |" and on one
occasion, when the man executed died
lnstantaneously, sweet smile was OBJ
served to steal over his face, as, leaning
over the drop and looking up at his
work, he remarked: "The best lob in
the country that makes forty-seven. !"

Decay of Teeth.

The causes of the decay of the teeth
are two-acids and a minute fungus.
abundantly found in the mouth, and
called leptothri1 6uccaHs. All acids,
both vegetable and mineral, act prompt
ly on the teeth by dissolving the enamel
and by softening the dentine. Sour
fruits and vinegar salads are likely to
iniure the teeth, unless the mouth is
carefully washed out after eating them.
The little parasitic fungus can only be
removed by alkaline mixtures. Soap
is one of the best of dentrifces. 1t ap-
pears that the parasites grow and null
tiply very rapidly, and especially be-
tween the teeth. 1t would be advisable,
therefore, for. those who wish to pre-.
serve good teeth ito carefully uss the
toothpick and scrub the teeth with soap
and water after every meal, or at least
twice day.

The Eucalyptus Tree,

A Florida paper says: "We have
seen eucalyptus sent from Washing

quarter of an inch in diameter, having
light green bark and pointed, clip
tical leaf, about one and half inches
in length, and three-fourths of an inch
in width. The leaf is of deep green
color, so as to make beautiful foliage
where abundant, and when rubbed be-.
tween the fingers, but not otherwise,
we observed in this specimen, it emits
pleasant aroma. The specimens,
three in number, if we remember right
ly, looked healthy, and we're we'll pre-
