ANECDOTE OF OLD DARTMoCTH-In the class
of which Daniel Webster was a member, there
was an individual noted for his wagsery. One
day the professor of logic, who, by the way, was
not the most nice and discriminating in his dis
tinctions, was endeavoring to substantiate ''that
thing remains the same notwithstanding sub
stitution in some OF its parts"
Our wag, who had been exercising the Yankee
art of whiting, at length held up his jack knife,
inquiTing: Suppose | should lose the blade of
my knife, and get another one made and inserted
in its place, would it be the same knife it was
beforefr
''To be sure!7 replied the professor.
"Well, them" the wag continued, Suppose
should then lose the handle, and get another,
wonld il be the same knife stillir
''Of coursen the professor again replied.
''But if somebody should find the old blade
and the old handle, and should put them togeth-
er, what knife would that be 2"
We never learned the professors reply,

That filled my heart on its marriage day.
And the trembling tear drops silent Tow.

And place in its stead o wreath Of Voc,

GOODNIGHT.

Goodnight, good night
How many Thought this simple phase
The heart, by tell-tale tone, conveys;
How swelis its inmost depths To hear.
From those We hold in friendship dear.
The cheerful word, Good night"
In evening light.
We hear the mothers Joyous tongue.
IIumming the song the angels sung;
II falls upon the thirsting ear,
And stirs the ycarning soul To hear
The loving song. Good night"
Meath moonbeams bright,
The lovers linger, hand In hand,
Speaking the tongue hearts understand,
Dreading the hour that draws - near,
When swestly, sadly. TO the ear.
Comes that fond word, Good might. y
With true delight,
The willing form OF childhood sleeps,
And age, its cheerful yisage keeps,
While fingers devoutly on the ear.
That word TO youth and age 50 dear
That earnest word, Goodnight"
Good night, goodnight
The promise Of another day.
Its cheerful honest tones convey;
lis no long parting that we fear.
But sign Of promise, when we hear
Tho welcome phrase, Goodnight

How TO CLEAN HAIR BRUsHEs.-It is best to
clean two at n time, in this way: First, comb
them WELL to remove the loose hair or dust, then
dip the bristles only in warm water, sprinkle
each brush with plenty Of powdered borax, and
thoroughly, have pitcher of hot water, and
pour it over the bristles; keep the back of the
brush as dry possible. Shake the water well
out, dry quickly in the sun. Brushes washed in
this way will retain their stiffness.

Two little pains IL boots, tonight,
Before the fire ART drying;
Two little pairs Of tired feet
In a trundle-bed are lying:
And the tracks they left upon the floor,
Makes me feel much like sishing.
Those little boots with copper toes.
They run the livelong day!
And oftentimes almost wish
That they werc miles awayl
So tired / am to hear 50 on
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the evplowed ground.
Where mud in plenty lies;
They roll Il up in marbles round,
Then bake Il into pies:
And then At night upon the floor
In every shape ii dries
To-day was disposed to soold;
But when look, tonight.
At those little boots before the Ere,
With copper toes 80 bright.

Could keep her carpets all the year,
From getting worn or gray;

EDoNIA, December, Year Two.
DEAR EvE:-I have been on the rampage now
one month, prospecting for our new home, and

mer. Eating that apple was great blunder,
but, my dear girl, let bygones be bygones; there
is hope for yet. Just as soon as j strike q

is raw and cold feel that i am too thiniy clad.
