GEN. LEES KINDNESS OF HEART.

ga kinsman of mine, who fought on
the losing side in the late war, gave
me these pleasant anecdotes of Rob-
ert E. Lee," says man in st. Louis
paper:
81 was adjutant Of cavalry regi-
ment, which took part in the West
Virginia campaign of Lee in 1861. One
day my colonel invited me to accom-
pany him to headquarters, which
was very glad to do, hoping to hear
something of my family in Richmond,
whom the general recently in that
city-knew we'll. We found him sit
ting at the door of the tent, which
was pitched at the top of a rather
steep hill. He gave us a cordial well
come, and to me the home news 1 de-
sired. While the conversation was in
progress, an orderly came galloping
up the hill, and, dismounting, handed
the general despatch. He held it in
his hand without breaking the seal,
and said to the soldier: you have rid
den your horse hard, and he is very
AAuSh oAOUA OS0Cd. OhOuChlO OLO tuC,
and let him BREATHE"
Another and more striking illustra
ton Of this tenderness of heart in the
great commander occurred at Peters
burg during the closing weeks of the
siege. Gen. Lees headquarters was in
a private house beyond the reach, it
was thought, of the federal artillery.
One morning he was standing, with
several members of his staff, under
large tree, when heavy shell landed
not far distant. "Gentlemen," he
said, ''the enemy have evidently got
in range; and we had better retire."
Of course, nobody would retire until
the chief set the example. The next
moment another shell crashed thro'
the top Of the tree above their heads,
and all followed his advice-except
himself. He stopped; and for what,
do you'suppose? The shells had knock
ed down a nest full of young birds;
and, when the retreating officers look
ed back, they saw Gen. Lee pick up
the nest, and place it carefully on one
of the lower branches of the tree.

CHEAP TOOTH BRUSHES AND
TOOTH PICKS.

Cheap tooth brushes are responsi
BILE for many obscure throat, stomach
and intestinal ailments. The bristles
are only glued on, and come off by
the half dozen when wet and brought
in contact with the teeth. But re-
Gently an operation for appendicitis
upon patient at Albany, N. Y, re-
vealed the fact that the trouble was
due to the presence of tooth brush
bristles. The market is flooded with
these cheap goods, and the unwary
customer buys them because they are
cheap, and he has not been taught the
difference between the construction
of poor and good, or the danger that
turks in the shielded bristle. We, as
teachers of the public, should never
miss an opportunity to recommend
reliable makes of tooth brushes, nor
fail to point out the danger of the
poorly constructed article. A recent
case in practice illustrates other un-
desirable results from loose bristles.
A patient presented, complaining of
very sore tooth and much pain
about it. Examination revealed un-
decayed superior bicuspid, sore to the
touch, somewhat loosened, and high
state of Inflammation and some swell
ing in the surrounding gum tissue.
In exploring the open pocket in the
gum about the neck of the tooth, a
tooth brush bristle dislodged. The
case was treated, the peristeal and
gingival inflammation gradually sub
sided and the tissues returned to
their normal condition.
Probably every observing dentist
has noticed this same trouble induced
by splinters of wooden tooth picks,
minute pieces of rubber dam, etc. In
regard to tooth picks, the wooden
pick is an abomination, but again its
presence prevails on account of it's
cheapness. The gold tooth pick is
ga thing of beauty" but not always
ga joy forever" as it's continuous use
is liable to prepare the teeth for a
visit to the dentist. A good quill pick
is the best pick, and every dentist
should impress this upon the mind of
the patient. A little advice of this
kind is not only beneficial to the pa
tient, but in various ways to the den
fist himself.

Before bells came into use, various
instruments were used TO summon
congregations to worship. In Egypt
they are said to have followed Jew
ish custom in using a trumpet. In
some oriental church kind of rattle
gave the signal. In monasteries
monks took it in turn to go round the
cells, calling the inmates to their de-
votions by knocking with hammer.
This was called the "night signal" or
the awakening instrument"

A Second Rerie,O Of the Grand Army.

T read last night of the grand review
In washington's chiefest avenue
Two hundred thousand men IN b ue,
think they said was the number
Till seemed to hear their trampling feet,
The bugIe blast and the drums quick beat,
The cIatter of hoofs in the stony street,
The cbe GERS of people who came to greet,
And the thousand details that to repeat
Would only my verse encumber,-
Till fell in a revery, sad and sweet,
And then to a fitful s1umber.
When, IoI in vision 1 seemed to stand
In the lonely Capitol. On each hand
Far stretched the portico, din and grand
It's columns ranged like martial band
OF sheet ted spectres, whom some command
Had called to a last reviewing.
Andt lie streets of the city were white and bare;
No football echoed across the square;
But out of the misty midnight air
heard in the distance a trumpet blare,
And the wan ring night winds seemed to bear
The sound of a far tattooing.
Then held my breath with fear and dread;
For into the square with brazen tread,
There rode figure whose stately head
O'erI ok led the review that morning,
That never bowed from its firm set seat
When The living column passed its feet,
Yt1ow rode steadily up the street
To the phantom bugle's warming.
Till reached tie Capitol square and wheeled
there in the moonlight stood revealed
well Ere form that in State and field
Had ed ur patriot sires:
VIII &c face vas turned to the sleeping camp,
Afart hrou. h the rivers fog and damp,
That showed no flicker, waning lamp,
Nor wasted bivouac fires.
And 1 saw phantom army come
With ever sound of fife or drum,
But keeping time to throbbing hum
OF wailing and lamentations:
The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill,
OF G, ttysburg and Charlottesville,
The men whose wasted figures fill
The patriot graves of the nation.
And there came the nameless dead,-the men
Who persisted in fever swamp and fen,
The s owly- starved of the prison pep
And, marching beside the others,
Came the dusky martyrs of Pillows fight,
with limb, enfranchised and bearing bright;
4thought-perhaps twas the pale moonlight
They looked as white tn cir brothers!
And so ali night marche d the nations dead,
With never a banner above them spread,
Nor badge, nor motto brandished;
No mark-save the bare uncovered head
o. the sile. bronze Reviewer;
" it'll never an arch save the vaulted sky;
with never flower save those that lie
On the distant graves-for love could buy
NO gift that was purer or truer.
So ali night long swept the strange array,
So all night long till the morning gray
watched FIR one who had passed away,
With reverent awe and WONDER
Tili a blue cap waved In the length ming line,
And knew that one v no was kin of mine
Had come; and spake-and 10! that sign
Awakened me from my s1umber.

Mary Howard came home from her

She found her home was cold, also,

Lizzie Miller was curled up in lit
