The Little Brown Stocking'.
g.
Here is a little brown stocking,
Faded by xiauy years,
Hidden among my treasures,
Stained with many tears ;
It fining in a chimney corner,
On a Christmas long ago,
Loaded with precious goodies,
Full from the top to toe.
Two chubby hands unloaded
The gifts of Santa Claus
Oh, how his black eye sparkled !—
And -surely there was cause.
You see that little hole there ?
There's where a horse was tied—
So heavy that it tore it,
And big enough to ride.
No soldier was ever prouder,
With war-horse most superb
Than he on his rocking pony,
With saddle, whip and curb.]
Oh, that was the merriest Christmas,
And he the jolliest boy,
And this is the sweetest memory,,
I ever shall enjoy?
The reel leaves of the autumn
Lie dead above him now,
The prattlirglips are silent,
His hands are cold as snow.
Naught but the little stocking
Is left of that glad day ;
The stocking and the memory
Are mine to keep alway.

Don't Kiss. the Baby.
_f The promiscuous kissing ofchildren is
a pestilent practice. We use the word
advisedly, and it is mild for the occa-
sion." Murderous would be the proper
word, did the kisses know the mischief
they do. Yes, madam, murderous ; and
we are speaking to you. Do :you re-
member calling on your dear friend Mrs.
Brown the other day, with a strip of
flannel round your neck ? And when
little Flora came dancing into the room,
didn't you pounce upon her demon-
stratively, call her a precious little pet,
and kiss her ? Then you serenely pro-
ceeded to describe the dreadful sore
throat that kept you from prayer -meet-
ing the night before. You had no de-
signs on. the dear child's life, we know ;
nevertheless you killed her ! Killed her
as surely as if you had fed her with
stryehnine or arsenic. Your caresses
were fatal. Two or three days after the
little pet began to complain of 'a Sore
throat, too. The symptoms grew rapid-
ly alarming, and when the doctor came
the simple word diphtheria sufficed to
explain them all. To -clay a little mound
in. Green -Wood is the sole momento of
your visit. Of course the .mother does
not suspect, and would not dare to sus-
pect, you of any instrumentality in her
bereavement. She charges it to mt s-
terious Providence. The doctor says
nothing to disturb the delusion ; that
would be impolitic, if not cruel ; but to
an outsider he is free to say that the
child's death was due directly to your
infernal stupidity. Those are precisely
his words ; more forcible than elegant, it
is true ; `but who shall say, under the
circumstances, that they are not justifi-
able ? Remember
"Eau is wrought by want of_thought
As well as by want of heart !"
It would be hard to tell how much of
the prevalent sickness and mortality
from diphtheria is due to such want of
thought. As a • rule; adults have the
-disease in so mild a form that they mid -
take it for a -simple cold, and as a cold is
not contagious they think nothing of
exposing others to their breath, or to the
greater danger of labial contact. Taking
into consideration the well established-
fact
stablishedfact that diphtheria is usually, if not al-
ways, communicated by the direct trans-
planting of the malignant vegetation
which causes the disease, the fact that
there can be no more certain means of
bringing the contagion to its favorite
soil than the act of kissing on all
occasions is all but universal, it is not
surprising that, when once the disease is
irnportee into a comniunity, it is very
likely to become epidemic. -It would be
.absurd to charge the spread of diphtheria
entirely to the practice of childkissing
There are other modes of propagation,
though it is hard to conceive of any
more directly suited to the spread of the
infection or more general in its opera-
tion. It stands to diphtheria in about
the same relation thatpromiscuous hs,nd
shaking formerly did to the itch. It
were better to avoid the practice. -The
children will not suffer if they go un•
kissed ; and their friends ought for
their sake to forego the luxury for
a season.. A single kiss has been
known to infect a family ; and the
naost careful may be in condition to com-
municate the disease without knowing
it. Beware, then, of playing Judas, and
let the babies alone.—Scientific A�ize� Lccun.
provisions to Dorking ; it is only three

ed, but, conformably to previous instruc-
tions, intercepted, and' a walk in the
garden being proposed, the author was

the author was suffering the agonies of a
host who, though ou hospitality intent,
was conscious of the emptiness of his
larder, and on the anxious look -out for
the arrival of the basket laden with sup-
plies from Dorking. Presently the din-
ner was announced. The author entered
the dining room, profusely apologizing as
he went. To his great surprise, the
table was spread bountifullywith fish,
hams, fowl, venison and pastry, termin-
ating in a sublime :found of boiled beef.

was something of a gourmand. " The

About One's Self.
The object of brushing the teeth is to
remove the destructive particles of food
which by their decomposition generate
decay. To neutralize the acid resulting
from this chemical change is the object
of dentrifice. A stiff brush should be
used after every meal, and a thread of
silk floss or india rubber passed through
between the teeth to remove particles of
food. Rinsing the mouth in lime water
neutralizes the acid.
Living and sleeping in a room in
which the sun never enters is a slow form
of suicide. A sun bath is the most re-
freshing and life-giving bath that can
possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm, and thus,
avoid colds. To this end, never sit in
damp shoes or wear foot coverings fitting
and pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruits is half an
hour before breakfast.
A full, bath should not be taken less
than three hours after a meal. Never
drink cold water before bathing. Do not
take a cold bath when tired.
Keep a box of powdered starch on the
washstand ; and after washing, rub a
pinch .over the hands. It will prevent

If feeling cold before going to bed, ex-
ercise ; do not roast over a ere.

Death of an Able and Eccentric
Man.
The Texas papers speak in the highest
terms of Dr. Liucecum, who died recent-
ly near Brenham, Washington County,
in that State, in the eighty-third year of
his age. He was a native of Georgia,
but lived about twenty years at Colum-
bus, Miss., before going to Texas in 1848.
After the surrender of the Confederate
armies, he went to Tuxpan,_ Mexico, and
spent about four years. The paper from
which we take the above facts says :
Among other studies he spent his idle
hours for fourteen years, in Washington
County, in studying the habits of the.
large red ant, common all over the State,
and. then wrote a pamphlet giving the re -
salts. It possesses the interest of a
hovel. For this production he was
awarded costly gold medals by the Acacia
envies of Science. in Philadelphia and
Paris. His writings on the gras-
ses of Texas — its minerals and
its agriculture—have been numerous and
valuable. •In Mexico, he stated. to Hon.
John H. Brown that for fifty-eight years,
at daylight on eabh Christmas morning,
he had stood. in the door, barefoot, in Ins
nightclothes, and played the Scottish air
of Killiecrankie,' and that on forty-
eight of those occasions he had used the
violin then in his possession, made to
order for him in Paris in 1820, where-
upon he repeated the piece in his own
hospitable home, opposite the City of
Taxpan.. He was then seventy-five,
and on his birth -night, a few nights be-
fore, • had been fire -hunting, killed a
a deer, and carried it home on- his shoul-
ders, a distance of two or three miles.
He at the same time said he had reared
ten children to be married and settled.

In later days, fortunately for the
nerves of the majority of .people, practi-
cal jokes-are.considered in very_ bad
taste, and die( .raged by society; but
in the last century they flourished like
weeds. Perhaps our readers are already
familiar -with the exploit of the fainous
Tarp. n, who, entering a tavern yard on
one occasion, slipped the harness off an
ass, and sending the animal away • in the
care of a confederate, - crept into the
harness, and with unblushing effrontery
awaited the arrival of the owner, who
was naturally astonished to find his
beast gone and a man standing harnessed
in: its gear. Still more was he e amazed
to hear Turpin devoutly thankiug !:
Heaven for the recovery of his human
shape. " At length," exclaimed he,
" my sins are forgiven me, and the time .
of my penance is expired. I sinned, and
was changed into an ass ; but Heaven is
merciful, and its anger does not endure I
forever." Saying which, Turpin threw I,
down his harness and walked off. How-
ever, not very long after, the ass was
sent to be sold, and who should- come
into the market but its former proprie-
tor. After staring at the -animal, he
called out, " What ! has the wretch
sinned again, and has he been turned
into an ass ? For the love of Heaven,
friends; have nothing to say to that aui-
mal ! The brute /bas deceived. me once,
but I am not to be caught again ; for,
look you, whoever buys him will find
him, some day or other, as _I did,' turned
into a man." The joke in this case was
good, but its originator profited by it,
cleverly combining wit with: profit. A
practical joke of a different character
was once played on a well-known author
by his patron, the Duke of Norfolk. The
impecunious was surprised in his garden,
and surrounded by a- number of dis-
tinguished visitors, headed by the duke,
who said, "We are come to dine with
you, • old bard." " Your Royal High-
ness has taken us by surprise," said the
writer, " but we will send off for some
