A REVERE,

Those hearts Of oun-how strange how stnngei
uow they yearn to ramble and love To range
noyn through the wales OF tho years long gone,
In through the future that fast rolls on
T,aays are dull-so they wend their ways
pack to their beautiful geaerddys
The present Is blank-so they wing their flight
To future to-mouOir' where oil seems bright
Bnld ,hem IA bright and beautiful homo
They'll soon grow weary and want to roam;
End them spot without sorrow or pain.
They may stay day, but they're OIL again,
Those hears Of ouul-how wild how wild
They ~ as hard 10 tame as an Indian child;
They're as restless waves on the sounding SEA.
Like the breeze and the bird they Ackle and free
Tbos, hearts of ours-how lone how lone
However. Forever, they mourn and moan,
Let them reycl In joy-let them riot IN cheer,
The rcyelry over, they're all the more drrar.
Tho>a hearts ofonrs--how warm how warm
Like the suns bright nay. like the summers charm
How they beam and burn! how they gleam aud gowl
Their flash aud fame hide but ashes below.
Those hearts Of oun-how cold how cold
Ike pccember's snow ON the waste or wold
And though our Dccembcn melt soon into May
some know Decembers that pass not away
Those hearts OF ouus-how deep how deepl
You may sound the sea where the corals sleep
Where never Il billow hath rumblcd or rolled
Depths stlIl the deeper our hearts hide and hold.
whcrg the wild storm tramp hath ncer been known.
The wrvcks OF the sea lie low and lone;
Thu, the hearts surface may sparkle and glow,
Then are wrecks far down, there are graves below.
Those hearts Of ours-but ailer ALL
How shallow and narrow, how tiny and small
Like sAntest streAmlet or summers least rill,
They arc as easy to empty, as easy TO Rll
0lc hour Of storm, and how the streams pourl
one hour Of sun aud the streams are no more.
Que grief how the tears of the heart gsh and glide!
one smile, iow they ever 80 fast they are dried
Tho,e hearts OF ours-how wise how wise
They l their thoughts I'll they touch the skies,
They eau sink their shaits like miner bold
WheU VISIONS mines hide their pearls and gold
A0a they soar with undaEElcd gaze,
whep the halls Of the Day king burn and blaze;
Ofhey ly with wing that will never fail,
Ger the sky's dark sea where the stAr.ships sail
Thosc hearts Of ours-what fools, what fools
How they laugh at Wisdom. her laws and rules
How they waste their powers, and. when wasted,
grieye
gli what they have squandorcd but cannot retrieve
IhOsc hearts OF ours-how StrOngl how strong
Ike thousand sonUws around them throng;
They can bear them all and thousand more
And they're stronger then than they were before.
Th0se hearts Of ours-how weak how weak
BliA single word Of unkindness speak.
Like poisoned shan, like vipers fang.
That one slight word leaves lifelong pang
Those hearts Of fours-but I've said enough,
Al find that my rhyme grows rude and rough
. III rCst me now, but III come again
With temorfow's sun to resume my strain

AMOUNT OF DENTISTRY DONE IN THE
UNITED STATEs.-That people are be-
coming aroused upon the subject of teeth
can be seen from the employment Of from
eleven to twelve thousand dentists in our
country alone, who according to the best
authority, are annually packing into cavi
ties In teeth no less than half ton Of pure
gold, costing, owing partly to the great
amount of labor required to furnish It,
about half a million dollars, or one-three-
hundredth part of all the gold in the Uni
ted States. Besides this, there probably
is IN weight four times as much cheaper
material used for filing cavities in teeth.
costing about S150,0O0. In this country
there are annually made about three mil
lions ofartifcial teeth, mounted upon plates
Of gold, vulcanite and platina, which con-
tribute to keep the fingers Of this busy
profession at work. What is more won
derful is that not half of the people avail
themselves Of their valuable services who
need them, not only for their health and
happiness, but to maintain beauty Of form
and complexion Of the face.
From statistics taken in America. Il has
been ascertained that out Of an average Of
about eighty people Of all classes, as we
tnd them, only one can be found with per-
feet dental organs. All the rest are tfou-
bled more or less with decayed teeth

There was an outward silence for few
moments Then John said
" | don't ask your pardon, Mr.. Withers,

sition from me. Let's go to bed"

The Department CLERK.

The department clerk is likely to be soon
heard from again. Right over the crater
OF the civil-service volcano he stands, ready
to send up request for less work. The
government clerk does this sort Of thing in
a body every few months, and enlists the
sympathy of the whole country. Those
who know anything at all about the gov
ernment clerk know how outrageously he
Is overworked. As a general thing he is
dragged from comfortable bed at an un-
seemly hour in the morning and rushes off
to his department at least as early as ten
O'Clock, when he opens his desk and takes
out his stationery, books and other utensils
OF business, and having thus prepared
himself for the rushing and arduous iabors
OF the day he bestows his feet upon his
desk, and, like a true martyr to the public
service, reads the morning paper. He
does this with resignation simply sublime,
and having done it he dons his oyercoat
aud goes out to lunch and spends an hour
or two at billiards, duty which inevita-
bly, falls to the government clerk. After
couple of hours the weary clerk returns
to his desk and again brings out his pens
and paper and red ink and tape and pa
tent eyelets in formidable array, and by
the time he has done this and busted off
his chair and laid away his hat it is time
to close up for the afternoon. Then the
tired clerk, thankful that the onerous du-
ties Of another day are finished, goes home
to sweet dreams Of having less work TO do
in the future. Anybody can see that it is
ridiculous to expect the government clerk
to work in this way without becoming ut
terly broken down in health and spirit.
The labor is as wearing and tedious almost
as is that Of standing around waiting to be
made government clerk, and thousands
are doing this every day. There are few
luxuries in the way of the department
employee; he should be permitted to 60 in
for less work-and an appropriation.

The PERSIAN GovERNmEEr.-The

The Egyptian ladies as rule are not
as good looking as Cleopatra, but travel.
lers and connoisseurs of taste, who were
on the Nile last winter, report that there
are many handsome ones among the mod
ern lot. The fairest Of the fair, in point
OF beauty, If not Of complexion, are the
Copts of Cairo. Their tint is the darkest
prevalent, but the best artists proclaim
them to be admirably put together in form
and features. The Egyptians are much
blacker than the Italians.

She who does not make her family
comfortable will herself never be happy at

AN AWFUL AccIDENT.-Wc learn
from the Delcionic Waiehman that Isaac and
Samuel Noll, two brothers, who resided In the
vicinity Of Pleasant Gap, Centre county, hilched
their horse to buggy one day last week and
started for BellelonIc They had proceeded but
short distance when a dog came bouncing over
fence, frightening the horse aud causing it to
run %. In making short turn IN the road both
men were pitched out Of the buggy, and their
heads striking against a stone fence, one was
killed instantly and the other died in few hour,
after the accident They both leave large families
We presume that that miserable dog will be
allowed to continne frightening horses as they
pass along the public highway. All dogs Of thai
habit should be shot and killed by the nrst mar
who passes along the public road.
