About o'clock one morning, Mr.. Sar

that always keeps company with nm easy
conscience, by his wife poking him in
the RIBS, and calling Oh him to hustle
out, and see what the matter was. The

Nlr. Sarsapcr crawled out of bed, and
after banging his nose Oh the door post

black eye against tho corner of the :man-

everything i'll the room, he finally made

Hydrophobia.

,Gottleib Elsasser, Prussian doctor
who died in Philadelphia some time since,
gave what he said to be never-failine
cure for hydrophobia obtained from his
uncle who was pound-master in Berlin.
The following is Elsasser's remedy :
Beneath tho tongue Of every human be.
ing thore are two large veins, whose
blackness renders thom easily distin-
gu!shable. When any ono is afflicted
with hydrophobia, cut these open with
a pair Of small scissors or any sharp in
strument, and allow tho blood to trickle
out. This rids the patient Of the virus
Then nal 10 n ten of lupulin, the seeds of
the hop vine, and give the patient oup-
full. This will Mt once put him to sleep
without having the injurious offect that
would follow the administration of opium.
In four or five hours the patient will
awake. Then give him another cupful of
tea, and continue this treatment until he
has slept for twenty-hours. lie will then
be entirely oured,"

Why Teeth Decay.

One great cause of decaycd teoth is
drinking cold liquids Immediately after
having had some hot article in the mouth.
The heat expands tho enamel covering
of the teeth. and the cold contracting
it suddenly causes it to crack, md thus
exposing to the air the structure of the
tooth proper, allows it to decay. Another
prolific cause is want of cleanliness
Particles of food clinging to the crevices
between tho teeth cause them to decay
So you should always brush your teeth
we'll after eating. DO not neglect this
easily performed duty; it will not only
serve to protect your teeth and keep
sweet mouth will have n great influence
in making you feel well all over, while q
mouth full of decayed food will give you
q bod taste, q foul breath and q rotten
mouth, which will tend to depress your
system and make you feel not only i'm
pure to yourself, but will render you
offensive to your companions.

the limb with both hands and gave n
hard, strong pull. The limb bent and
the bell stopped ringing.
In the meantime the people were
waiting anxiously below. As soon AS
the boil stopped Cyrus put his mouth
to tho hole in the lattice and called out
that it was all right. The sexton soon
arrived with the keys, and taking a
hatchet Cyrus chopped the bothersome
limb in two. The people of Aquasco
went to bed and many laughed at the
sections ghost. On the following day
a great number visited tho belfry to see
the curious bell-ringer. 1t was found
that an army of fying-squirrels had cut
the hole in the lattice work, and that
the wind had forced the limb of the
neighboring oak through tho opening
A little prong near the end of the limb
had caught the clapper hear its point,
and so the wind made its novel bell

The LULLABY OF THE FLOWERS.

Wept the flowers sadly,
For the day was dying,
And the flckle sunbeams
TO tho West were flying,
III tho arms Of sunset
Day It's last was breathing,
And Its shroud, the twilight,
Busily was weaving.
Came a zephyr sighing
"Slumber sweet my llOwersE
Nights dark sway Is gruesomc,
Sleep tho weary hours"
Still the mournful blossoms
For the day were weeping,
And their tears, the dewdrops,
Tween the leaves we're peeping.
Then, with gentle pity,
Nightingales came singing,
Thrill'd their soothing music
O'cr the meadows ringing.
Soon the weary flowers
BlisSf1lly were dreaming,
Till the larks awoke them,
When the sun was beaming.

trvman. Mr.. Thaysr. His lives of Mozart are like
the three bears. There are the big Mozart and the
middle Mozart, and the wee, wee Mozart. This is
the vice. wee Mozart. we may presume that it
cmbodies so far as such little thing can some OF the
results of Jahn's fruitful researches but otherwise
it is not of value 1t greatly inferior to the we'll
known biography by Edward Holmes-one OF the
best books OF its class extant; and it is curious
sometimes to contrast the versions OF the same
anecdote by the German and the English writer,
and to see low much better the story is always told
by Holmes. The life of Beethoven, like that OF
Mozart is very dull reading, and we cannot but
lament that Mr.. Labor has expended his labor upon
texts which were so little worth it. The opinion
the Mozart" is quite erroneous. Nohl is not an
eminent writer on music, is he reputed such IN
