A New Way to Pull Teeth.

A hired girl should be ingenious. One
of them, in the employ of Jackson
street family, has discovered an unique
way of extracting teeth She suffered
nearly all of last week with an aching
tooth, but did not have the courage to go
to dentist. Friday afternoon it troubled
her so much, as to force her to look about
for remedy, and she finally hit upon a
plan. With piece of stout twine she
made a loop which she put about her
tooth Then she took bit of soap and
rubbed it on the floor opposite the back
door. The other end of the twine she
fastened to the knob of the closed door
Then she took position on the soaped
boards, so as to make the twine nearly
taut, and commenced to lean back.
When she had acquired figure of about
forty five degrees, the soap suddenly took
hold, and she came down on the floor
with such force as to knock pair of fine
vases from the mantel upstairs, and
there she sat, reaching out for breath,
when the affrighted family made their
appearance while the offending tooth
dangled from a string against the door.
She suffers no more from the toothache.
but it will be some time before she can
wear hustle,

Obedience.

Turning into certain street l saw a
company of boys playing very earnestly
and evidently enjoying themselves great
ly. One | noticed in particular, who
seemed to be the leader of their sports !;
and just as 1 came up with them he was
proposing a new game and giving in
structions in regard to it. His whole
heart seemed to be in the thing. At
this moment a window was thrown open
in the house 1 was passing, and a sweet,
gentle voice called: Charley, your
father wants you" The window at once
closed, and that mother, as l took her to
be, Immediately withdrew without even
stopping to see whether Charlie heard.
The boy was so busy. that doubted if
that quiet voice would reach his ear.
But it seemed she knew him better than
/, The words hardly escaped her lips
when everything was dropped; the boys
were left at play, and Charlie was soon
within doors, where, of course l could
not follow him. Charley had learned to
obey. Always remember that prompt,
cheerful obedience is what you are to
render to parents and teachers. Do not
wait to be spoken to the second time, but
run at the first call.

Miserable Homes.

| What mistake some good people make
when they maintain, within the home cir
| Gle, the rigid rule and decorum which
becomes irksome even during a commit
tee meeting; when parents and children
assemble at the table in solemn silence,
and finish the meal within the prescribed
minutes; and the late arrival at the
| breakfast table is scowled at, reprimand-
ed, and remarked upon by mother and
| father, aunt and uncle, until the more
punctual juniors come to regard him as
| black sheep.
Oh, horrid home, where the little boys
are never seen without their school books,
or the little girl without a towel to hem;
where ma no more dares to buy rattle
for the baby without mentioning the ex-
penditure to pa, than anybody dares to
throw open the parlor shutters or tuck
up the curtains, or even at the table to
have more of this dish or less of that
The small boy who hates fat is not ac-
commodated, as Jack Sprats wife was, by
anybody. The tall girl who naturally
likes pudding, has her triangular wedge,
and no more; while the eldest son, out
growing his liking for the dish, is reprov-
ed for leaving piece on his plate.
Order and good housekeeping are
charming but the good order of a person,
and the regular supply of rations necessa-
ry IN workhouse, are not suitable for
home. Home is no home unless, as far
as reason will allow, the tastes and wish
es of the youngest child are consulted;
unless there is freedom of word and ac-
ton, speech and love, and goodwill with
out measure.
When was child, home was the
place where the wicked ceased from
troubling, and the weary were at rest.
Everything was always forgiven there.
There was no awful rod behind the door,
no domestic dungeon under the roof. l
do not think l grew up worse woman
because l was not whipped, or put to bed
without my supper for dressing the bed
post in grand-mother's best lace cap, or
making paper dolls, against orders, in
the front parlor-because life was not
made burden to me by forcing fat into
my unwilling mouth, and sugar candy
forbidden as though it was poison.
l could shed tears over the wretched
homeless children of the house where dis
cipline, as strict as that of the army, is
maintained, though their fare is costly
and the dress perfect, and their future
prospects as to an inheritance final.
They are more to be pitied than the
children of any poor man, who cluster
about their parents knee without any
fear of chiding; who are encouraged to
tell their troubles, and kindly lead away
from follies; and who will not in later
days, remember "pa" as the old gentle
man who fogged them, and INA" as the
old lady who kept the keys. and boxed
their ears for them, but think of them
with that respect and reverence due by
a child to its parents.

The rooster stalks on the hangers ledge,
He has tail like a scimetar's edge,
A marshal's plume on his afghan neck,
An admiral's stride on his quarter deck,
He rules the roost and he walks the bay
With dreadful cold and Turkish way,
Two broadsides fires with his rapid wings
This sultan proud, of line of kings
One cultural laugh, four blasts of horn,
Five rusty syllables rouse the morn!
The Saxon lambs in their wooden tabs
Are playing school with the a, b, abs;
A, e, I, o! All the cattle spell
1ell they make the blatent vowelS tell,
And half-laugh whinny fills the stalls
when down in the rack the clover falls
dove is waltzing around his mate,
Two chevrons black on his wings of slate,
And showing of with a wooIng note
The satin shine of his golden throat
1t is Ovid's "Art of Love" re-told
In binding fine of blue and gold!
All, the buxom girls that helped the boys,
The nobler Helens of humber Troys-
As they stripped the husks with rustling folk
From eight-rowed corn as yellow as gold,
By the candIe-light in pumpkin bowls,
And the CLEANS that showed fantastic holes
In the quaint old lanterns tattooed tin,
From the hermit glim set up within;
By the rarer light in girlish eyes
AS dark as wells, or as blue as skies.
hear the laugh when the ear is red
see the blush with the forfeit paid,
The cedar cakes with ancient twist,
The cider cup that the girls have kissed,
And I see the fiddler through the dusk
As he twangs the ghost of Money Musk!"
The boys and girls in double row
Wait face to face till the magic bow
Shall whip the tune from the violin,
And the merry pulse of the feet begin.

One of the leading elders of the Penn
sylvania Mennonites, forty years ago,
strength. Passing a crowd of idlers at
the courthouse. he was stopped with the
question, MILLER, they say if one smites
a Mennonite on one cheek he will turn
the other. Is that so?" ''That is true"
The questioner here gave him smart
blow on the cheek, when Miller turning
the other cheek, had it duplicated.
This raised great laugh as the fellow
turned away. 'Stop. my friend" said
Miller: IF you had read little further
you would have found another passage
that we also hold by: With the measure
that ye mete unto others it shall be
meted to you again, and heaping full,
and picking him up bodily, he fairly
thrashed the wall with him.
