How TO MAKE MISCHIEF. = Keep your eye
on your ueghbors. Take care OF them. DO
not let them stir without watching. They may
do something wrong if you do To be sure,
YOU never knew them to do anything bad, but
it may be on your account they have not. Per
haps if it had no, been for your kiud care, they
might have di>graced themselves a long time
ago. Therefore do not relax any e1uTts to
keep them where they ought to be. Never
mind your own business that will take care OF
ITSELF There is man passing along-he Is
looking over the fence be suspicious of him;
perhaps he contempaes stealing, some OF these
dark lights; there is no knuwing what queer
taucies may have got into his head.
II you find any symptoms OF any one passing
out Of the path of duty, tell every Que else
what you see, and be particular to see a great
many 1t is a goou way to circulate such
things, though it may not benefit yourself par,
ticularly. Do keep something golDg-slleuce
is dreadful thing; though it is said there was
silence 10 the heavens for the space OF half an
hour do not let any such thing occur on earth;
it would be too much for this mundane sphere.
II, after all your watchtul care, you caunot
sec anything out of the way 10 any one, you
may be sure it is not because they have not
done ANYTHING bad; perhaps 10 au unguarded
that they are no better than they ought to be,
that you shouldn't WONDER if the people found
out what they were after little while, then
they may not hold their heads so high. Keep
it going and some me else may take the hyt,
and begin to help you along after while, then
there will be music, aud everything will work
to a charm.
How TO DRIVE SHEEp.-Like many other
| persons, haudseu sheep long time before ac-
| quiriug the art of driving them to the best add
vantage, when the sheep are turned on the
road without any he y to assist me. The first
day drove from eight to ten miles, and got
them in good pasture at night. The next morn
were very hard 10 drive they wanted to lie
down under every shade, and labored hard all
day, aud ouy made seven or eight miles on the
Journey; aud this was my experience for three
or tour days. | began at last to r>h 'ct as to
the cause Of the sheep driving SO badly, and it
occurred to me that the reason was, they had
filled themselves during the night, and wanted
to lie down and chew their cud, instead Of
travelling on u full stomach | resolved to
change my tactics at the next stopping place.
| Accordingly, when nlght came. lnstead OF turn
ing them into u pasture field as heretofore, L
put them into uice clean barn yard, and let
them rest all night instead Of eating. The re-
suit was that next morning when | turned them
on the road | had 10 get before them TO re-
strain them. found it necessary to use long
pole to keep them back, so marvellous was the
change, and so impeuOus was their anxiety to
push ahead The reason for this change was
simply owing to the fact that the sheep had
had good nights rest, and were fresh and
| hungry.

ToorHAcHE. The researches made by DR..
Sllio, one OF the most experienced Of European
deutists, have led 10 the opinion that common
or accute toothachc proceeds from causes but
little considered or understood. 10 the centre
of every tooth, he says, there is cavity CORE
spending 10 shape to the tooth itself,
and into this cavity passes through
minute aperature at the cod OF each
root branch OF a uerv1, an artery, aud vein;
aud when, either by mechanical Injury or decay
this cavity becomes exposed 10 the airs action
the blood thickeuS or coagulates to 40 extent
beyond the capacity Of the vein TO remove IN
the natural way, inflammation cnsues, and palu
commences, at first slightly; more blood is pump
ed in at every pulse of the heart, through the
branch of the artery, and, the hard material OF
which the tooth is formed being unylelding,
pressure is set up on the walls of the cavity
and its contents including the nerve. The pres
sure is increased at every pulse with great pre-
cision, causing intense and hourly increasing
paio-c commonly known as acute toothache.
Anothar very general but less painful kind Is
that arising from iualmatiou Of the root aud
socket.
THE CAP THAT FITS. "A temperance story
good because it was strictly true, was told Us a
few days ago. As the mayor of city 10
neighboriug State was walking one day with
highly respected FREUD; whose hatits we're gen
eralo correct but sometimes little too convi-
vial, they were met by drunken man: when
this friend turned to tie mayor, saying: III
thought should ever make such fool OF myself
as that man does, | would never taste drop Of
liquor as long as live. A curious expression
on the face of the mayor caught his eye, and
