THE Two AGES.


Folks were happy as days were long
In the old Arcadian times
When life seemed only dance and song
In the sweetest of all sweet climes.
Our world grows bigger, and, stage bY stoge
As the pitiless years have rolled,
We've quite forgotten the Golden Age
And come to the Age of Gold.
Time went away in a sheepish way
Upon Thessaly's plains Of yore.
In the nineteenth century lambs at play
Mean mutton, and nothing more.
Our swains at present are far too sage
To live as one lived of old
So they couple the crook of the Golden Age
With hook in the Age Of Gold.
From Corydon's reed the mountains round
Heard news Of his latest flame
And Tityrus made the woods res0und
With echoes of Daphne's name
They kindly let us lasting gauge
OF their musical heart we are told
And the Pandeau pipe of the Golden Age,
Brings mirth to the Age Of Gold.
Dwellers in huts and in marble halls
From shepherdess up TO the queen
Cared little for bOnnets and less for shawls.
And nothing for crinoline.
But now simphcity's not the rage,
And it's funny to think how cold
The dress they wore in the Golden Age
Would seem in the Age of Gold
Electric telegraphs. printing, gas
Tohaceo. balloons and steam,
Are little events that have come to pass
Since the days of the old regime
And spite of Lempriere's dazzling page
I'd giye-though it might seem bold
A hundred years of the Golden Age
For year of the Age of Gold.

A STRANGE DISEASE.
a Boy in Pennsylvania Bleeding from
His Nose. Gums. Throat. skin and
fnfpStiuPs

GARRoNDALE, Pa, Feb 10
James Vail, Is years old residing at the
corner of Belmont and Park streets,
while snow-balling with some play
mates few days ago, was struck
squarely on the nose, causing a bleed
inS, which filled both nostrils, and it
was with great difficulty that it was
stopped. The day following it started
again, and the family physician was
called. The boy had already lost a
quart of blood, and the doctor could
only succeed in arresting the flow by
plugging the boys nose, which was
effective for time A few days later
the bleeding commenced anew, and it
was several hours before it could be
checked. The parents of the boy were
greatly alarmed, believing that the
case was hopeless. The flow of blood
was also accompanied by bleeding from
the gums, throat and bowels. Small
blood-vessels under the skin have be-
come dissolved, and strange looking
spots arc formed upon the body by the
deposit of blood. The case puzzles the
physicians in this vicinity. 1t is called
purpura h@morrhagica, and is the first
case of the kind on record in this sec
ton of the country. Vail is still alive.

As adopted by the house Of commons
Mr.. Gladstone's resolution providing
for suppression of obstructive debates
and other dilatory proceedings requires
that the motion for urgency" shall be
made by a minister, and accompanied
| by an explanation of the reasons for
1t. The motion must be sustained by
q vote ofthree-fourths, and can not be
carried unless there at least three hun
dred members present. 1t clothes the
speaker with despotic power for the
| restraint of small minorities like the
English radicals and Irish home rulers
who cannot at present muster more
than about forty votes by combining
their forces. The spread ofrepublican
ideas in England has been rapid of late
however, and tmay be expected that
within few years their representation
in parliament viii be strong enough to
command respect. In the country the
radicals are already so numerous that
any attempt at stringent restraint upon
their freedom Enforcement and speech
would be decidedly dangerous.

The digestive organs when healthy crave food, the
nervous system when vigorous and tranquil gives
its possessor no uneasiness at night. tonic, to
be effective, should not be a mere appetizer nor
are the nerves to be strengthened and soothed by
the unaided action Of a sedative or a narcotic.
What is required is medicine which invigorates
the stomach, and promotes assimilation Of food by
the system, by which means the nervous system
as well as other parts of the physical organism
are strengthened. These are the effects of Hostel

White and CIean Teeth.

Cleanliness of the teeth is to the eye
what purity of the breath is to the
sense of smelling. Nothing, indeed, is
more desirable in the peronal appear
ance ola lady than clean, white teeth,
and the gums Of the color of the rose;
nothing more repulsive than unclean,
discolored, and uncared for teeth, thick
lv incrusted with tartar. The most
beautiful face and lips are disagreeable,
if the latter, when open, exhibit the
offensive spectacle of neglected teeth
The whiteness of teeth is liable to be
lost by the influence of various causes,
and are furnished by the action of diff
ferent elements, and by the exhalations
of the stomach. When the loss of
whiteness is occasioned by the produc-
ton of tartar, coral stick may be
used to clean the teeth and to remove
the tartarous sails; the blackncss of the
teeth may be sometimes corrected by
pulyerizing equal parts of tartar and
salt, and, after washing the teeth, rub
them with this powder. The gums
cannot be healthy unless they are firm
and red, and adhere to the roots of the
teeth-these qualities depending, in a
great measure, on the health. The
gums are liable to variety of acct
dents which impair both their health
and beauty, and which often transform
them into very unsightly objects. Some
times they grow soft. swell and appear
fall Of liquid and corrupted blood-at
others, they project, and cover a great
part of the teeth-they also become
infamed and painful and affected with
offensive ulcers. A good cleansing
mixture my be made by mixing to-
gether an ounce of powdered myrrh,
two spoonfuls of white honey, and a
little green sage in fine powder; wet the
teeth and gums with a very little of
this, at night and morning. Powdered
charcoal is also an effective article for
cleaning and whitening. It is claimed,
however, that charcoal Injuries the ena-
mel of the teeth.
