A tender child of simmers three, Seeking her bed at night, Paused on the dark stair timidly, Oh mother, take my hand," said she, "And then the dark will all be light." We older children grope our way From dark behind to light before; And only when our hands we lay, Dear Lord, iii Thine, the night is day, And there is darkness nevermore. Reach downward to theitunless days Wherein our guides are blind as we, And faith is small and hope delays; Take Thou the hands of prayer we raise, And jet us feel the light of Thee! Gaieties. —An old gentleman having been in - sited by an acquaintance to go and see his country -seat, went, and found it to he a stump in a large meadow. —Scotch minister—" John, I'm afraid you are on the broad road." Inebriated parishioner—" Weel, minister, as far as I'm concerned, every bit o' the breadth is required." —Some men can never take a joke. There was an old doctor, who, when asked what was good for moths, wrote hack, "How- do you suppose I can tell unless I know what ails the moths ?" —A young scapegrace noted. for his practical jokes, arrived at the age of twenty-one at midnight, whereupon he raised the family and all the neighbors by shouting at the top ,of his lungs; "There's a man in the house." —A bluff,- consequential, commercial gentleman from the south, riding along the Hamilton road- near to Blantyre, asked a herd boy on the roadside, in a tone and manner meant to quiz, if he were half way to Hamilton? "Man," replied the boy, "I wid need tae ken whaur ye had come frae afore I could answer yer question." —A young fellow from the country was on board a river stearner for the first time in his life. He took a great interest in watching the motion of the paddles. At length he turned to a fel. Iow-passenger, and, drawing a long breath, said', " Eh, man, but the water mann be terrible shallow tae let thae wheels grup !" —" Dear Will," said the bride of three months, "I'm really afraid that you have deceived. me. Your breath has several times smelled of liquor. Now, don't you drink ?" "Why, pet, how can you suspect me? Drink! To be sure not. The doctor tells me that I have weak gums and I occasionally rub them with alcolol to harden them." "But Will, dear, beer doesn't smell like alcohol, does it Of course, pet. Don't you know that it is the alcohol in Leer that makes it intoxicating? By the way, pet, there is a volume on chem- istry in my library. You had better look over that and you will understand these matters more fully." , —The following occurred in a hotel in the north. Ode evening a young Scot- tish traveller entered the commercial room, where several gentlemen were writing, sat down beside an old stager of the crusty port wine type. The young man looked new to the road, and, not having opened conversation'the old toper thought him a likely subject for a butt. Well;" said he, "what sort of a house may you travel for? Some Small affair, I suppose, for which yeti will turn over about as much as would pay my washerwoman's bill?" This -ex- ceedingly impertinent remark naturally excited. the attention of several of the writers, who looked up, waiting for his reply. Man," said the supposed green- horn, " you. maun be an aa-fif dirty beggar V' —In the window of a shop devoted to the sale of hardware and kitchen fur- nishings,- the sign, Iron Sinks," ap- pears in letters of considerable size. The other afternoon an individual, whose ideas had become somewhat confused by the corribiad action of heat and alcohol, came along that way and beheld this an- nouncement, whereupon, he braced him- self against a convenient lamp -post, and sapiently moralized as follows, "Well, I hate a fool. Man must be an ash to sthich—hie—up such a sign as that. Iroa sinks! Wash er use putting that up in the window? Every body knows it shinks. Look here !" to the proprietorwho at that moment appeared at the door, " Why don't you put wood floats,' in yer other winder? Yer must think public don't know nothing," and thue saying he went away shaking ;his heal! sapiently, and wondering at the shopkeeper's simplicity. Honesty Rewarded. A very small news boy stood at the corner of Superior and Clark streets, Chicago. T.Jnder his arm was a solitary and bespattered copy of the noon edition of the Daily News. Satisfied either by the plethoric condition of his pocket, caused by a successful run of business, or by the warmth of the sun, he disdain- ed to call his Wares. A rotund and austere officer of the North Side Street Railway Company passed. He stopped abruptly, approach- ed the lounging youngster and said: "News, boy," at the same time slipping a coin into the hand of the urchin, who in turn dexterously deposited it between his teeth. Delivering the wrinkled paper the Woy sent a dirty hand into his trousers' pocket and produced four pennies and a nickle, which he emptied into the extended palm of the dignified purchaser. You should be more careful, sir," said, the rotund gentleman, glancing at the change and then handing it back to the youngster. " 1 gave you a three - cent piece, not a clime." Not a muscle of the boy's face moved. The same dirty little hand went up to his mouth and returned with the three - cent piece. Quick as a flash the coin had again changed Dwners. What's this for ?"gasped the -dignifi- ed official. "Keep der money," replied the boy, with a wave of the dirty hand, "1 likes ter reward honesty." The dignified gentleman blushed to the roots of his hair and stood for a moment gazing at the back of the self- possessed urchin, who had turned on his heel and sauntered asvay. Example and Precept. A very fashionable wedding took plade recently in a town not far from Phila- delphia. The bride was the daughter of a wealthy mill -owner, who employs about three thousand workmen. No money was spared to make the occasion one of joy and festivity. The mills were stopped, and the workmen formed a lane through which the bride, groom, and attendants walked from the bride's home to the church, and as many of them as possible crowded into the church to wit- ness the ceremony. There was one thing absent that is considered alraost essential in these days on such occasions —wine. The father of the bride has never allowed liquor to be sold in the town, and said that he would not allow it to be used on this occasion; his ex- ample in hiti own home should harmonize with his precept outside of it. When the bride drove away, men, women and children waved and wished her all joy. • .' Writing Under' Difficulties. [Editor, writing at home to gain time, starts on an article anent spring.] To -day, according to the calendar, is the first day of spring—(Wife "Have you ordered that load of coal yet? We have only eneugh left to last a few days, you know."} Yes, dear ordered two tons this morning. "And it will not be so very long now, before those glad harbingers of the vernal season, the blue birds and robins, will make their appearance and gladden the eyes and hearts of the northern people with their pleasant twitter. Old Sol—" (Wife, looking over his shottlder "1 should -twitter.

You did? Nst much. , I had the grocer leave one after waiting itill the holidays. Don't you recollect ?") Guess you're right come to think of it. "—The gentle rain will come, buds will start, lawns will take on an emerald tinge, the air will become soft and balmy, wild twl will wing their way to their iaorther summer resorts—" (Old- est boy: "ay, pa, won't you buy me a toboggan? 11 the boys is getting 'ern, and we want o form a club. We've got the hill iced n street, and my old sled is burste .") Not this w'nter,—spring, I mean,— my boy. It isn't worth while at this time of year. Fix up, One from barrel staves. "—It is a peculiarity of spring in this latitu e that when she does come after long wa ting, it is with a rush ; and so brief indee is her stay that summer fairly crowds her out. Once in a great while, howev r—" Wife: "1 wish you would try an thaw out the pipes in the bathroom. I ve poured more than a bushel of ho water on them without effect. I shouldn't think it wasn't cold enough now t. freeze the pipes, should you?" No; woult n't. if the plumbing had been half d ne. But then, what can you expect in a rented house? "—Per- haps once in very decade there comes an old-fashi lied spring, commencing somewhere n ar the date billed for her to appear, w rthy of all rhapsody so -freely bestow d by the poet and lover of nature; day and weeks filled with fragrance, so gs of birds, cheerfulness and activity • when it seems almost im- possible to re nain indoors so strong is the desire ti, wander abroad in the woodland an( commune -with the invis- ible spirits of earth, air and water.

Natu- ect turned upon the pres- e teeth, and the dentist uced to express his vieWs, bout as follows: itive man dined on tough or half -cooked condition, esh with his teeth, and nes like a lion, little need k after the state of his the vigorons action, the of the gums the rough st bone and gristle, in ergetic exercise of the kept his mills in perfect r primitive friend lived to , and then died with a and teeth." 1 ! with the glories and civilization came the new king and changes of diet, rable to the health of our feats were made tender by sure to heat ; vegetables a soft papescence of the nd fine white bread be - of life, so that the teeth othing to do, no hard them clean and strong, or ms firm and healthy. To still worse, having little hew, we lost the good old 1 • • habit of chewing, and even our soft foods were swallowed without the little mastication that they needed. This lack of use produced feeble nutrition and lessened power of resistance, and soon organic acids, decomposed food, etc., wrought havoc upon the tooth tissue, corroding and eating away the enamel and dentine; till one fine day a sharp pain sternly called attention to the fact that civilized habits are not compatible with sound rinders." " In he causes of decay given above are shadowed forth the two principal means which it is necessary to adopt in order to preserve the teeth, that is, cleanliness and use. Use your teeth in chewing your food; chew everything you put in your mouth vigorously and thoroughly,whether it is jelly of pigeons' brains or leathery beefsteak. If you do this, and let nothing pass the portals of your mouth without having first given the teeth some vigorous exercise upon it, not only will the teeth be firmer and stronger, but the whole month will be healthier and the digestion improved. To further this object avoid cutting the meat into such microscopic bits that it can be, or is likely to be, swallow- ed whole, and avoid undue haste in ' eating." , "This proper use of the teeth should be supplemented with a vigorous use of the toothbrush upon the teeth and gums especially the latter. Vigorous friction in this way is a substitute for that before spoken .of as being so beneficial to air primitive friend when he gnawed bones and chewed gristle. It engenders an increased flow of blood to the gums, stimulates them and improves their nutrition. Brush them every day till they bleed, and it only makes them firmer and healthierointil finally no atnount of _brushing will make them bleed. 'Next comes cleanliness. By means Of toothpicks and rinsing the mouth with water after each meal keep the interstices of the mouth free from particles of food. "A popular error that should be cor- rected, and by whom better than by the doctors, is the idea that the first or milk teeth should be pulled out as soon as they are decayed or show signs of loose- ness. Let it be remembered that when the milk teeth are extracted before the proper time, a narrow and contracted or more seriously deformed jaw resulti'. The rapidly growing jaw of the boy or girl clOses in upon the space left vacant by the lost tooth, absorption of the alveolar process takes place, so deform- ing the jaw that when the second teeth come they find no room and become crooked‘ and irregular. In short, an irremediable error has been made."— Chicago Herald. Taken Down.- - An old Scotchwoman went up to the .hooking -office atone of our busy railway stations, and asked the ticket master; " Whan's the next train for Kilmar- nock ?" "-There's not• one for an hour," he said, and slammed down the window. The old -woman, being impatient, went back in a few minutes and asked the same question: " Whan's the next train for Kilmarnock ?" The ticket master, enraged at Seeing her again, called out : "Didn't I tell you there's not one for an hour?" and down went the window again. She then waited for about ten minutes, isnd returned with a very de- termined look, and asked the same ques- tion a but this time watching carefully to place her basket so that the Window could not, beput down. The ticket mas- ter returned the -same answer as before, and the old woman, seeing he could not put down the window, quietly folded her arms and said: 6 6 Dae ye ken wha ye pit me in mind o' ?" "Who ?" asked the ticket master, giving his moustache a twil, thinking it was maybe the Prince of Wales, or some other illustri- ous p rson. " Weel," replied the old girl, ". ye jist pit me in mind o' the sweep hat stuck in my -granny's lum—,- jist o re -big for yer job. .A Keen. Retort. Apr pos of the low -neck dress ques- tion th Rochester Democrat recalls the storyof the young Irish girl who attend- ed a la ge ball in England years ago in the good old times.". She was evidently from the country, and as she entered the ball-roOm. there was a thrill of dismay when it vitas discovered that there was a mark ecl discrepancy betwen the hem of her dress and the tops of her boots. Fashionable ladies blushed to the tips of their est- posed shoulder -blades, and one of them remonstrated with the wonder- ing Kathleen. Her reply was pertinent and should become historical t "Show my ankles, do I? Indeed - I do; and sure, sol would you, madam, were your dress plied up around your neck where it should be." Bananas. A pound of bananas, it is said, con- tains more nutriment than three pounds of meati,or as many pounds of potatoes, while a a food it is, in every sense, superio to the best wheaten bread. Al- though it grows' spontaneously through- out the l tropics, when cultivated its yield is prodigious, for an acre of ground plantedwith bananas will return as much food material as 33 acres of wheat, or over 100 acres of potatoes. It is not generally understood that bananas fried, baked or roasted are very appetizing, and thas sliced and placed in a dish, with alternate slices of orange, they make a most delicious desert. It had the Desired Effect. :Dr. Thomas, when Bishop of Salisbury, used to tell the following story: " While I was-chaPlain to the British factory at -Hamburg, a gentleman belenging to the factory died at a village about ten miles distant. Application was 'made to the pastor of the parish for leave to have him buried in his churchyard, but on being told that he was a Calvinist he refused. ",No," said he; "there are none but Lutherans in my churchyard, and there shall be none other." This being told ime,I resolved to go and argue the matter with him, but found him inflexible. At length I told him he made me think of a circumstance which once happened to myself when I was a curate in Thames street. I was burying a corpse, when a woman came and pulled me by the sleeve in, the midst of the service, saying—" Sir, sir, I ''want to speak to you." ", Prythee," says I, "woman, wait till I have done." "No, sir, I must speak to you immediately." 4 4 Why, then, what is the ;natter ?" "Sir," says she, "you are burying a man who died of the small -pox next my poor husband, who never had it." This story had the desired effect, and the pastor permitted the bones of the poor Calvinist to be interred in his church yard rf" IMPORTANT NOTICES.

The frauds that have been perpetrated on the spectacle wearing public by most dealers nd pedlars giving assumed and fancy nameato ordinary glass, speaks for the ignorance of the pu lic generally in the all important subject of the preservation of the sight. There are only two arti les from which spectacle lenses can be maunfactured, viz., Pebble and Glass. Call glass by any other name it still remains glass. Pebble, on the other hand, is from Nature's own manufactory. It is natural crystal, found generally in freestone foundation, and is harder than the ruby and emerald, and nearly as hard as the diamond. The pebble is nothing more nor less than a transparent stdne, cut by the aid of diamond dust, and the greatest amount of power is placed immediately over the centre of the grain found in all pebble. It will give to the spectacle wearer a coolness, freshness and a pleasant feeling that the ordinary spectacle lenses cannot by any possibility impart, All Spectacles and Eye Glasses are stamped B. L.
