THE TOKEN.

BY Il. H. STODDARD.
Clad in purple, he sat in his palace,
A powerful king, in the days Of old;
They brought him wine in beautiful chalice
Whose gems were crusted in beaten gold.
1Who hath jewels like lnine:" demanded
The boastful monarch, and straightway then
Through his men at-arms, who ut once dis.
Came one, who looked like the Man Of men.
Held it with both hands over his head;
It's light was lovely, its light was cruel;
But, cruel or lovely, the light was red.
1t shot out sparkles; it was Glory,
A terrible Splendor, a Heart of Fire;
No one light like it, in song orstory,
For who had that had his souls desire!
It's brightness shone over land and ocean,
Far-reaching,-a dazzling, binding light;
Creating wonder and strange devotion,
A sense of Love, and the sense of Might.
.'Who hath Jewels like thine ?" demanded
This Man of men. "Look at my great gem
It grew where the rivers are golden sanded
With others-it does not compare with
them
II say to thee, monarch, it is token
OF the Masters that eveH on earth remain !;
And if by chance any part is broken,
tits nothing less but is whole again."
Thus in Gallo Latin, if your southey will show
it,
Two hundred and fifty years ago,
Wrote the great de Thou, of an early poet;
But what the meaning, he did not know.

Oh! meet her by the moonlight" young man
Its a very nice ballad, own;
But q nicer and better, young man,

'Tis now along the high ways

And in the orchard byways
The cabbages take root.

LOVE AND FOLLY.

LOVE AND FOLLY.
Love and Folly were at play,
Both to wAnton to be wise;
They fell out and in the fray
Folly put out Cupid's eyes.
Straight the criminal was tried,
Had his punishment assigned;
Folly should to Love be tied,
And condemned to lead the blind!
Oh, the tickle, fckle weather!
1t scarcely holds together
For day
First it snoweth, then it bloweth,
Then the angry storm cloud goeth
Right away.
But there's mickle, mickle weather
That would suit us all together
Just the same.
For take us all together,
We're as tickle as the weather.
Who's to blame?

sold Temple street-where is it?' SAID
Charles. ''Was there temple there?'
81 don't know, sir; but it is a great
way off,
While they were talking, policeman
had fetched cab and called comrade
to supply his place; and he promised the
children to take home poor Jacques, or
Mr., Punch, as Paul chose to call him.
The children lost no time in the street,
they were in such haste to get home and
tell their mamma what had happened,
to ask her leave to make up to nurse, out
Of their own money, what she had given
to Jacques, and to entreat her to take
them with her to Old Temple Street.
Madame Davannes willingly granted
their request, and the next morning, after
breakfast, the whole party got into the
carriage, with great parcel of things
that Madame Davannes thought might be
useful to the poor people. On the way
she stopped to inquire of some persons
whom Jacques had told the nurse might
be able to give her information about him
and his family; and she convinced her
self that they were honest folks, whom
only their bad health and the number of
their young children had brought so slow.
Before going to their room, which was in
the fifth story Of the lodging house, she
knew she should find the woman Ill; but
when she had knocked at the door and
heard a feeble ''Come in" she was shock
ed on entering, at the almost dying APP
pearance Of the woman, who raised her
self in her bed with great difficulty to
look at her.
Three of the children were in the room
which was wonderfully clean, though ter
ribly poor. A bed with only one coverlet,
two bundles of straw covered by cloaks
and mended with thousand patches

years old with saucepan in her hand,
boiling up the remains of the rolls that
the children had given Jacques the day
before such was the scene that struck
suzanne's eyes. Her mother more used
to the sight Of poverty, approached the
poor woman's bed, and after gently wish
ing her good morning, opened the parcel
and spread a warm quilt over the bed.
n'going to the fireplace, she took
the saucepan, and seeing that its contents
were ready, she poured them into brok-
en- basin on which the two little ones threw
themselves; while she at once prepared

were against him. A heavy shower of

the great breadth, not thickness, of our

is only about seven inches, and of course
of no value whatever.

THE DEAF MAY ALL HEAR.


The deaf and dumb hear by means of
their teeth The audiphonet, an itstru-
ment invented by.a western Yankee for
alternating the misery of deafness, is
simply sheet of vulcanized rubber,
about 1-22 of an inch in thickness, set
firmly in a handle of the same material
In the upper rim of this sheet are
pierced some holes through which pass
es silken cord. This goes down on
the inner side of the sheet, to the handle,
through a slot in which it passes. By
pulling this cord the sheet is bent over
at any angle which the user may de-
sire. Each person has to ascertain for
himself what kind of II curve of the
rubber sheet will enable him to hear
best. Generally 1t is very slight-Only
about ten or twelve degrees though APP
parently the deafer the person the greater
the curve must be. When used the per-
son holding it simply touches the upper
edge of the fan, or audiphone, against
the teeth of the upper jaw. The voice of
the speaker strikes upon this tense sheet
of rubber, and communicates to it Vibra-
tions which are in turn impaired to the
teeth, and then pass to the auditory
nerve. With this operation the outer
ear has nothing whatever to do. The
delicate machinery through which
sound passing from without makes an
impression upon the auditory nerve is
not heard at all. The outer ear may be
stopped up entirely, SO far as it is posi-
BILE to do it, and yet one hears distinctly
the moment the audiphOne is applied
to the teeth. 1t is necessary to use the
teeth of the upper jaw, for the reason
that they are more nearly in contact
with the auditory nerve; nor does it
make much difference whether the teeth
be ones own or artificial, so long as
those artificial teeth are tightly fitted :;
for when that is the case, the vibration
is impaired about as well as when they
are natural teeth. The inventor is deaf
himself. He happened one day to hold
watch between his teeth, and noticed
that he could distinctly hear its tick
ing, though when he held it to his ear
no sound was audible. This set him to
thinking that possibly he might be able
to invent some device by which the
sounds of the human voice could be
transmitted to the auditory nerve through
the medium of a tube, just as the tick
| ing of a watch had been.
