POETRY.
Two Robbers.
BY F. W. BoURDILLoN,

When Death from sine fair face
Is stealing life away,
All weep, save she, the grace
That earth shall lose to-day.
When Time from some fair face
Steals beauty, year by year,
For her slow-f3ding grace
Who sheds, save she, tear?
Aud Death not often dares
So wake the worlds distress:
While Time, The cunning, mars
Surely all loneliness.
Yet though by breath and breath
Fades all our fairest prime,
Men shrink from cruel Death,
But honor crafty Time.

On Columbus avenue there dwell a

No knight of old was more devoted to

during the honey and the moon
that followed it. But ere the third moon
had waned the young wife noted-or
thought she noted, no doubt it was a
fancy-a change. AS time passed on, it
became still more apparent. Her hus-
band was loving of course, but somehow
there was lack Of the old artlor, there
was falling off in the old demonstrative-
ness. This troubled her, and, woman
like, she was quick to conclude that his
love for her had cooled. One evening, after
thinking the matter over all day, she broke
out with: ''You don't love me any
more" "What makes you think so?''
he asked, in a business-like way, scarce

he was reading. Because" she sobbed,
"you never pet me any more, and you

About Teeth.

Teeth have been both a source of
trouble and vanity to their possessors
from all time, as they still continue to be-.
Dentists were common among the Egypt:
ians, on the authority Of Herodotus, and
the extraction Of teeth was known to the
ancient Greeks. Sprengel, in his "His-
tory of Medicine" says: ''Even surgical
instruments were bequeathed by the in
ventors to these sacred shrines Of medi-
cine. Thus, Erasistratus presented to the
Delphic Temple Of Apollo an instrument
for extracting teeth" The Romans were
acquainted with the use Of false teeth,
and they are mentioned both by Horace
and Martial. Among the ancient Jews it
was violation of the Sabbath to wear a
false tooth on that day. Teeth which
have been found in Pompeii were very
sound, a discovery which led to the sup
position that the people of that ancient
city. did not indulge in the luxuries which
have attended the progressive march OF
civilization. Artificial teeth became
known in England, it is supposed, about
the fifteenth or sixteenth century. They
are mentioned in the 'Mat6emat1cal
Jewel" 1885: and Ben johnson, IN the
"Silent Woman refers to them; softer
Speaking OF his wife)-A most vile face!
and yet she spends me $40 a year in
mercury and hogs bones All her teeth
were made IN the Black Fraiars.'

Old Time Pluck and Patience.

An old gentleman was talking yesterday
about pluck Said he: Il went to Missouri
in 1874. Every day families came in from the
East with nothing saving what they could
bring on four-horse wagon. They would
settle on 100 acres of land, get out the logs
and build a rude cabin. They had no sugar,
no coffee, no comfortable food, but they lived
some way They made themselves sort of
syrup from pumkins; they scorched wheat
and made wheat coffee; with hand machine
they broke their corn so as to make sort of
bread, and all the time kept to work, kept
raising babies and lived. They shot turkeys,
prairie chickens and squirrels for meat, and
scuffied along. used to watch their progress
and it was certain thing that in the fourth or
NTH year after their arrival they would build
themselves a comfortable house and turn the
original cabin into a stable. Now the sons of
those people are the solid men of Missouri,
and the daughters and grandaughters OF
those pioneer mothers wear robes. single
one of which cost more than the entire capital
OF the average Missouri pioneer.

January and May.

January and May were linked together
in waiting room of the Providence s
Stonington railroad at Richmond one day
last week. They arrived by the eastward
bound train and walked briskly across
the platform. A clergyman was waiting
for them, and a carnage had been en-
gagged to take them to his residence where
the ceremony was to be performed The
bridegroom hastily inquired when the
next westward-bound train was due, and
on being told that only five minutes would
elapse before that event, he calculated:
II am in a hurry! We must return by
the next train! It's going to rain! We
must be married!' They entered the
humble waiting-room. The hands of
the clock moved. The station agent
suggested that the time was ''only two
minutes, now Just then the westward
bound train rounded the curve, approach
ing the station. The bridegrooms agita-
ton was evinced by heads of perspira-
ton on an ample forehead fringed with a
few tufts of gray hair-al that remained
from the SHOWS of seventy winters. Bit
tie May, with the innocence of girlhood
IN her eyes, was in futter The clergy
man alone was cool and seif-possessed.
''Join hands!' he cried, as the locomotive
shrieked. "You take this man to be your
husband?" he, demanded. sternly, as the
engineer gave the bell-rope vigorous
jerk. YES" whispered nervous May,
as the train ratified by, with the brakes
grinding and the engine suffering.
"You take this woman to be your
wife," asked the clergyman with his
hand on the bridegroom's arm. "Yes,"
quoth January, fumbl1ng his railway pass
and taking the spectacles from his nose,
just as heavy trunk was dumped on the
platform and the locomotive again found
its voice. ''Then pronounce you man
and wife, exclaimed the good man, and
the conductor ''All aboard came in like
an amen. The bride was bundled into
the car, there was transfer of silver half
dollars from bridegroom to clergyman,
the hackman murmured s'Gol darn it. I've
lost a job and January was nearly car

moment the train boy cried, s:'Lozenges

ness, and never think of offensive odors y,
On my return to Worcester I put some
steak-a piece perhaps two inches square
under the roots Of my ivy, and in a
week or two it began to run, and has
grown very rapidly ever since.
Now, perhaps other decaying matter
would do as we'll, but I can truly recon-
mend the steak as having been tried.
Many say too much richness will kill the
plant, but I know from experience that

Madeiras cannot have too much. use a.
