The Mouse in "a Trap
have met mishap, am caught IN trap,
While my mates as free as they please.
It is strange, am sure, all this must endure
Just by smelling wee bit Of cheese.
BY my appetite led, "There is good here" said,
az am hungry must have taste"
Twas food loved we'll, knew by the smell,
And to 1t directly made haste.
But I only did touch what longed for much,
when, lol was caught in snare;
An unlooked-for thing, horrible spring,
Entrapped me ere was aware.
Bnt though am caught, submit l will not,
But presently l will be free.
III succeed II try, for surely I'm spry,
I'll be out in a minute, you1l sect
All poor little mouse, in your lone prison house,
You cannot get out II you try;
All your efforts are vain your pardon TO gain,
Though you struggle and toll till you die.
But have the power, in this very hour,
II 1 will 20, to let you go free;
Yet you'd trcmble with fear II should come near,
Nor believe your saviour to be-
Oh, how small a thing instruction can bring.
from you lesson can get,
For like people you are who are caught in a snare
Which Satan so cunning doth SET
There's trap that's called sin takes humanity in,
With various bats to allure;
They only can touch what they long for so much,
when, 10! in the trap they're secure
Some weary become of their lone prison homt,
And struggle so hard to be free
Yet all efforts vain, but increasing the pain,
For prisoners still they must be.
But, when weary and lone, with strength Of thei
own,
All their struggles and toilngs they cease,
Their Delyerer appears, makes end to their fears
And whispers, BE free!-go in peace!"
Dictated by Mrs. NJ N. Lord, the blind preacher,
mouse having been caught IL trap.

CURING A Boys TooTHACHE.-A
Town Hill boy was awakened by a Sc
we're tootlache Thursday night, and
soon signitied TO his father by sundry
bowls, and a frequent REPETITION of the
name OF Moses, that some sort of at.
tention should he paid him. The pa
rent aroused at once and set to work to
relieve the pain. He put a saucer of
alcohol Oh the stove and touched n
match TO the liquid. While it was
blazing he took hold of the saucer to
carry it to the bed for the purpose of
advancing some operation calculated
to obliterate the toothache, when, not
making the proper calculation OF the
temperature Of the SANGER, he was oh.
liged to let 80 of it with some precipi
ta'ion. 1t may be necessary to state
here that, the parent in his anxiety to
relieve his offspring, had omitted an
elaborate toilet, and was moving abont
in a primitive atti'e--consisting Who'll
ly Of a very short shirt. The moment
the SANGER dropped the burning liquid
spnrted from the dish, and catching
hold of the capillary substance on the
legs Of our frieaa, mounted up his
body like q flash Of lightning, and
reaching his very luxuriant whiskers,
almost instautaneously, burst out into
a cloud Of fame, and Instantly disap-
peared. The movement was so rapid
that the man was stupelicl for Sec
ond. In the next he fel. to slapping
his scared limbs, rubbing his burnt
face, and bowling like a disappointed
lunatic. But it cured the boy, and as
that was what the parent got up for,
he is probably satisfied. Danbury

F Germans are not very liberal to-
ward their pastors, Judging from an
advertisement which recently appear
ed in Hessian newspaper, in which a
minister's wife, forty.two years of age,
the daughter of one of the superior
clergy, desires, shaving previously OBJ
tanned her husbands permission, to
obtain employment as cook, in con-
sequence of the pressure of circum-
stances. She has, so far, brought up
five sons and two daughters that they
are independent of her, and believes
her greater experience will command
better wages than those which either
of her daughters could obtain" It's a
state Of affairs, certainly, wherein it
becomes necessary for woman, after
toiling hard in the care of growing
family, to leave her home in order to
exc out her husbands scanty income.

e A short time ago due took
place at Rastadt, Baden, between two
lieutenauts belonging to the regiment
in garrison at that fortress. One of
them was shot through the head, and
died on the spot. He was buried with
all military lionors, three generals, all
the officers of the garrison, aud a large
concourse Of people being present.
The chaplain of the division preached
the funeral sermon, in which he said,
among other things, "that honor was
also by Christianity declared to be
high and valuable good, that it's de-
fence was often absolutely commanded
by the manners and customs of the
time, and of certain social positions"
The defence of the duel, an act made
penal by law, on the part of "a clergy
man, and on these grounds, has never
been heard of before.

Care Of the Teeth.

troyed are gone forever, and that they
can only be substituted by artificial
ones which are a constant source OF
annoyance and expense, it is surpris-
ing that people do not take better care
of them. We recommend our readers
to carefully read and follow the advice
given below by Dr.. Hayes, a dentist Of
London:
In the first place, the teeth should be
fairly used. BY this l mean, not made
to perform the duties of crackers for
nuts, experimental on to ascertain
their strength, or by ladies to rival
scissors in cutting thread for rest as
snred-in every case, more particular
ly the last-the party having recourse
to such practices will surely some day
rue them the teeth so INV ittingly in
jured beng always the first to part
company from their fellows. Those
who indulge in such or similar habits
may truly be called the friends of the
dentist. Cleanliness is absolutely es-
sential for the preservation of the
teeth, and they should be we'll brushed
at least morning and evening, that any
feculence which may be attached to
them, either during sleep, from the
stomach, or by day from meals, may
not be allowed permanently to adhere,
causing firstly, diseoloration, then tar
tar, and subsequently,, if ! may 50 ex-
press myself, undermining the consti-
tuition OF one or more, as from their po-
sition, they may be more or less liable
to corrosion.
In order that the teeth should look
natural-that is retain their natural
color-a dentifrice free from the small
est particle of acid should he used at
the matiu hour, and the mouth rinsed
with tepid water, for extremes of heat
and cold are most highly prejudicial,
not on|y to their color,-but also to
their durability; and know no meth
cd so simple of converting really
useful and Ornamental set into one of
pain and subsequent extinction, than
the habit of washing in either one or
the other. The person who habitu-
ates him or herself, to any extent, to
hot soup, tea, or other drinks, assur-
eddy rivals the friend to the dentist
just named. Brushes for the teeth
should be of medium substance, of
bristIe, and those made on what is
called the penetrating principle, are
best. l would also observe that a child
at an early age should be instructed
in the use of the toothbrush, and
taught the value and Importance of
the teeth, in orde. to inculcate habit
of cleanliness and a due appreciation
of these ornaments of the month. A
brush properly selected mot too hardy
may lie used by children of five years
of age, every morning; and by being
part and parcel of the general ablution
and thus directing habitual attention
to tho teeth. useful and clearly habit
will he engendered which will insure
for them proper care through life.

The New York Journal of Commerce does
not think that the people of Georgia or Ala
bama need far the threatened migration Of
the negroes from those States to Texas as pre-.
dcted on account eff the result of the recent
election. It says: The carpet baggers may
hunt through other States for more plunder
but they caruot detach any large number OF
freedmen from their old homes n Alabama and
Georgia. The more ignorant of the race have
been taught to believe that, with the overthrow
of their carpet bag allies, they would be re-
manded to slavery or ku- klux tormepts and
this explains the meuaced movement among
them toward Texas. Some of them, yielding
to these false impressions, have actually gone
to their new Canaan, the railroad fare thither
being low, but the vast majority will remain at
home. As for the carpet baggers, the sooner
they quit the States, not for Texas, but Next
CO, the better for the peace and prosperity OF
the South and for their owe safety. since most
of them are liable to presentment.
