Private Entertainers.

The art of making party go off suc- cessfully is by no means an easy accomp- lishment. Some have the happy knack of setting their guests at ease at once, and making them pleased both with themselves and each other; whilst again many well-meaning and extremely kind-hearted people have a habit of putting on an overstraining company manner, most unfortunate in its effect on those whom they are anxious to please. Guests are always influenced by their hostess; and if she is not at her ease they cannot be so either-unless, as is sometimes the case, there happens to be an irrepressible spirit amongst them who dares to be sociable and merry, and make others so too, is spite of con- pany manners and unnatural restraint. To be perfectly natural is to be well bred and, contradictory as it may seem, I quite believe that a natural manner may be cultivated just as we'll as an artificial one. Affectation and self-con- sciousness are always displeasing, and, unfortunately, they often prevent most estimable persons being appreciated, as from their many good qualities they deserve to be. If we look around us and note who are the most popular of our acquaintances we shall find that it is rarely the handsomest, the cleverest, or most accomplished, but invariably those who have the happy talent of being able to forget themselves. These might be endowed with fairy wands, so manifold are their powers of charming. They make the silent talk, the grave merry, and those weighed down with sorrow put away their grief. Such are ever welcome, for by their ready sym pathy they can adapt themselves to any society, and in the art of entertaining others they are simply perfection, for they make their friends feel that they have really come out to enjoy them selves, and not merely for the sake of fulfilling an irksome social duty.-Lon- don Queen.

THE SUNRISE NEVER FAILED US YET.

Upon the sadness of the sea The sunset broods regretfully j. From the far, lonely spaces slow Withdraws the wistful afterglow. So out of life the splendor dies; So darken all the happy skies; So gathers twilight. cold and stern: But overhead the planets burn. And up the east another day Shall chase the bitter dark away; s What though our eyes with tears be wet? The sunrise never failed us yet The blush of dawn may yet restore Our light and hope and joy once more. -s Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget That sunrise never failed us yet

Disease Is an Antagonist

That should be attacked the instant he shows himself. Don't wait. At him before his nails are grown, and wipe him out. The great al- terative and invigorant of the age, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will speedily infuse such healthful tone into your organism that it will be enabled to successfully resist future at and fever and bilious remittents, and eradicate dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint, rheu- matic ailments, urinary and uterine dlfficul- ties. It is particularly beneficial when the system has been drained of it's vitality or is inherently deficient in strength. The nerves gather from it both vigor and tranquility. But while it imparts strength and gives a whole some stimulus to the animal economy, it does not unduly excite it like the cheap exhilarants sometimes resorted to under the erroneous im- pression that they can invigorate.

 Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all hu- man ailments. Its symptoms are almost in- finite in their variety, ana the forlorn and de- spondent victims of the disease often fancy themselves the prey in turn of every known malady. This is due, in part, to the close sympathy which exists between the stomach and the brain. and in part also to the fact that any disturbance of the digestive function necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and the nervous system. and effects to some ex- tent the quality of the blood.

The Future.

The future is always fairy-land to the young. Life is like a beautiful winding lane, on either side bright flowers and beautiful butterflies and tempting fruits, which we scarcely pause to admire and to taste, 80 eager are we to hasten to an opening which we imagine will be more beautiful still. But by degrees, as we advance, the trees grow bare, the flowers and but terfies fail, the fruits disappear, and we find we have reached desert waste.

In transplant ing more or less of broken roots have to removed; these must be balanced by the top which they have to support. How ever carefully we may transplant a tree there is certain check given-a certain disorganization of the system takes place. When the roots and tops are shortened at the same time, the check administered is two fold. We must therefore prune very carefully, the top of newly planted tree and ac- cording to the injury given to the roots.

SCIENTIFIC,

LaUGsiune, c Ne,c Metal.-From a com munication made to the SOciete des Sciences Physiques ct Naturelles de Bordeaux, we learn that M. Prat has discovered new metal, which, in honor of Lavoisier, he calls lavesium. This new metal is of 8 silvery white color, and is malleable and fusible. It forms crystallizable cOlorless salts. The following are some of it's reactions: {: When treated with potassa, hydrated white precipitate is obtained, insOluble Tn an excess of the precipitant. Ammo mia gives precipitate very soluble in excess. Ferrocyanide of potassium gives 8 characteristic precipitate simi- lar to the color to the petals of roses dat BengGle. With hydrosulphuric acid 8 brown coloration is first obtained; the precipitate afterward changes to fawn color. Tannin gives 8 deep yellow green precipitate.
 gives: 1. In the indigo blue, two sets of characteristic lines. 3. In the bright green, two other sets of simpler lines, also characteristic. 3. Some blue, Yio- let, and green secondary lines in all twenty three lines. These character istic lines exactly coincide with those of copper, which would seem to show that the new metal contains copper. It's silvery white color, however, and some of it's reactions, especially those with ammonia and ferrocyanide of po- tassium, constitute properties which distinguish it from any other known metal. According to M. Prat. this body IS much more common than he at first supposed, it having been found in many minerals, and especially in Iron pyrites. If laVeslum really exists, it's therapeu- tic action and it's industrial uses remain to be studied.-Le Monde Pharmaceu- tiQue.
 Fluids of the Moutb.-Dr. Hodson wisely calls attention in The Medical Record to the fact that, in any illness involving 8 feverish condition, the fluids of the mouth are constantly as intensely acid as respects the teeth as in any medicine administered by the | physician, and, moreover from the high temperature of the buccal cavity at such times, the power of these acids for evil is greatly augmented. Further, a direct consequence of these conditions is the especially rapid fermentation and decomposition of all food lodged be- tween and around the teeth, and the consequent elimination of other dele terious acids. Dr. Hodson recommends rlnsing the mouth with liquor calcis, diluted according to the sensitiveness of the mucus membrane, and favored with 8 few drops of wintergreen or ] peppermint to make it agreeable.
