find their way to market and all of them wear

were not made by the creator to be taken save
by hook and line, and at this time Of the year
they should not be taken at all, as they are

A Chinese Dentist.

In priority of time the Chinese are
ahead Of us In some of the arts of civili-
Zation, but in most of the finer and
higher kinds of art, as surgery, ETC.,
their proficiency is little removed from
half-savago bungling. A correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial describes
Chinese dentistry, and gives us an idea
of what the Shanghai contemporaries
amount to as professionals: The native
dentists are the merest charlatans, and
practice as magicians and cure-alls.
They insert artificial teeth of the sea-
horse, which are kept in place by cop
per-wire wrappings or fastenlngs TO the
adjacent natural teeth, and charge about
three cents per tooth for the operation.
Teeth are extracted by a hocus-pocus
process which the dental impostOr calls
coughing up" The method of eX-
traction is this: The dentist applies a
white powder represented to be the salt
extracted from the sweat of the horse.
DR.. Eastlake found this white powder TO
be nothing more or less than arsenic,
which causes the gum to slough, when
the tooth is easily removed by the Oper-
ator's fingers. But the Chinese method
of curing the toothache was what puZ-
zled him most, and longest defied detec-
ton. The operations, it should have
been stated, are all performed in tenn
pie, or in the space in front, under q
large umbrella, the idea being that re-
ligious ceremony is in some way con-
nected with them. TOothache is caused
by a maggot which gets into the tooth
somehow or other while the patient is
asleep, or while he is laughing immod-
erately. 1t must be removed alive, or
the patient will go mad. He is, there
fore, placed on a seat, and his head
thrown back. The dentist inserts a long
pair OF forceps, and, after fumbling
around for few seconds, produces be-
tween the nippers little wriggling
black maggot, the cause of the whole
trouble. DIR. E,astlake witnessed this
operation repeatedly, but it was only
after obtaining surreptitiOus possession
of the forceps that he discovered the
trick. He found that one arm of the
forceps only was Of iron; the other was
of bamboo, painted to resemble the
other. In the hollow of the bamboo
were found a number OF little black
maggots, probably obtained from de-
cayed vegetables or decOmposing mat
ter. When necessary to do service, the
operator simply squeezed the bamboo
above, and the maggOt was elected from
the small end of the instrument to the
mouth, and then adroitly taken between
the nippers and held up triumphantly
before the gaze of the astonished and
grateful patient relieved. The opera
tions witnessed were dispatched with
astonishing rapidity, and the patients
hurried away, as that part of the per-
formance was essential to the success of
the operation.

Cinderbreech. Nelson was the better
admiral because he had once been
cabin-boy. Dickens was the better
story-teller because he mad once been re-
porter. The obvious truth is that If
Darby can afford to pay hundred dol
lars monthly to a chez, Joan need know
nothing of messes; but how many such
Darbys are there?
These remarks, or similar ones, have
been often heard by the gentler reader,
aud are somewhat familiar to her, not
to say wearisome. "Oh, yes" she says,
81 know all this; men want women in
the family to be angels and French
cooks rolled into one. Heaven save the
mark! Suppose that women on their
side were to expect men in the family to
be heroes and gentlemen as well as
good providers ?in Well, madam, they
ought to expect it and to insist upon it.
Perhaps you have played the game Of
parlor magic? There are homes in
which that game is always played, and
they are the happiest of all. In them
the real value Of neatness and order, OF
thrift and taste and temperance is I'M
derstood, and the Beauty, who once lay
Tapped in lofty towers, knows that the
romance which enshrined her amidst
those battlements and tufted trees is
preserved and forever refreshed by the
art of the neat-handed Phillis. And
upon his side he does not reverse the or
der of the story and of nature, and sink
from the Prince into the Beast.-GeOrqe

TIE OLD KORAN.


Yes she is very old and feeble now:
There Is a shadow in her faded eyes;
She has not strength 10 walk but All day long
sits Uearily and meekly in her chair,
While round her moves the young and active
Impeiied by hope, by love, by want, or care.
They heed her not, nor deem that she can feel
An interest in their toll, their Joy, or care;
They cannot see the heart that iayeth still,
And yearnefh forthem with aconstant prayer;
But when the youngest OF the household band
Creeps lovingly to deal grandmamma's feet,
Soon 70 the bright brow moves the withered
AndgentIe. loving words the young zone greet.
And when she sitteth with her head reclined.
And her dull eyelids closed as II in sleep,
II you could see the thoughts that move her
The Iightest hearted OF you all would weep.
Memories Of youth and beauty, hope and love.
OF high ambition, and OF proud success
OF honor-snch as few on earth may prove
And wealth, with all its treacherous blessed
ness;
or loved ones, bright with hope and joy and
Who clustered round her in Iife's blessed
Whose lips replied to hers with earnest truth,
whose friendship seemed pure immortal
thing.
And she is young and beautiful again,
Beloved and loving, hOnored and caressed;
Then come the shades OF sorrow, care and pain,
And white shrouds fold again the marble
breast.
She starteth from her reveris with grOan:
"All gOne-yes, all gone" she murmurs low.
All none can tell how desOlate and lone
The heart OF that old woman leeleth now.
But sect she lifteth her dim eyes 20 heaven,
And prays for what For patience 10 endure
A little longer till the veil Is riven
Which shuts her from the world where all IS
pure.
A little longer! Oh, II you can feel,
Bear with her, cherish her, that little space:
Do all she asketh with a cheerful zeal;
Fulfill the wish she faileth 20 express:
And listen reverently 10 her words,
For they are full Of wisdom garnered up
Along lies paths, which she hath we'll ex-
plored,
Proving an fruits, ana tasting every cup;
And when she telleth you OF days Of yore,
Indulge her, and with pleased attention bow,
For Hopes sweet voice Is heard by her no more:
And all her treasures are with memory now
Memory which keepeth fresh within her breast
All buds and roses Of the loves OF youth;
She loves 10 count them DER, and then Is blest
In dwelling on their excellence and truth.
Bear with her, love her yet few days since;
She hath loved much and suffered; now with
faith
She siiteth meekly on life's twilight shores,
Ana listeneth forthe welcome voice OF Death.

Fast Time on the Hudson River R. R.

Fast Time on the Hudson River R. R,
William H. Vanderbilt and family,
and the President of New Haven Rail-
road and family, reached Albany from

drawing-rOOm cars about o'clock yes

what time they made on the New York

Jimmy pulled her out" and away flew
the train like meteor. At Castleton,
Coxsackie, and other points, the people
gaZed with terror as the cars thundered
by at the rate of mile a minute. They
could hardly be seen, but looked like
one piece of wood and iron rushing
through the air. There was a slight
slow up at Hudson, and in three min
utes after the train dashed by Catskill
station with whirl that was astound-
ing. Gravel, stones, dust, and dry
sticks whirled along in the wake of the
lightning train in clouds.
Three minutes were consumed at IT.
voli for water, and once more "old 46u
was measuring iron at the rate of a mile
a minute until Rhinebeck was reached.
There they were repairing the telegraph
wire and part of IL was across the track.
Five minutes were consumed there,
when the wire was cut and the train
dashed on again, the cars rocking on the
rails like n cradle and the dust nvincy i'm
every direction. Over bridges aud tres
tie work, around curves, through deep
cuts IL ratified away, rushing over the
fallkiH bridge into this station at a
forty mile an hour gate, having made
Poughkeepsie in one hour and thirty
eight minutes from Albany, and deduct
ing eighteen minutes for stops the actual
running time was one hour and twenty
minutes tue best time ever made on
