The New Brunswick Times says: "A citizen of New Brunswick who had been afflicted with a painful toothache for along time concluded at length to have the tooth pulled. It had decayed somewhat, and a very small holo was visible at one point. This was extremely minute, and nothing less than a very sharp vision could plainly discern it. He called at a dentist's office had the tooth extracted, rolled it in a sheet of note paper, and took it home with him. The pain had been so intense and protract ed that he concluded to examine very thor oughly the tooth which had annoyed him so much. A very careful inspection of it revealed nothing strange or peculiar. It was apparently sound at every point but one, ant so minute was the perforation that it would not admit the insertion of a deli cate needle. He finally took a hammer, struck lightly with it, and the tooth was broken ; but what a sight 1 It wts per fectly hollow, and snugly ensconced with in it was a nondescript, much larger than an ordinary ant. ' 1 Upon exposure to the' light it took to its legs (six in numbor) and ran across the ta ble with great speed. It seemed to have no ejes, for it ran against every object that he placed before it. At length it ran off the table, falling to the carpet, and in try ing to recover it he accidentally stepped upon and killed it. He doscribes it as being a moBt wonderful looking object and differing essentially from anything he had ever before seen or heardof. He is confi dent that it could not have made its way into the tooth, and feels sura that it was generated in the decaying dentine sub stance, ne presumes that small atoms of food may have made their way through the perforation, and served to furnish suste nance to the queer-looking objoct. He feels the utmost certainty that this is an Indubitable instance of spontaneous gener ation. - - A Prudent Husband. When the non. Wm. C. Bradley, late of Westminister, was member of Congress, he was wont to be visited on his return from the annual session of Congress, by a simple minded neighbor, who would sit the entire evening, and sometimes till twelve o'clock, asking questions, until the pa tience of Mr. Bradley was thoroughly ex hausted. On one occasion Mr. Bradley de termined to be rid of his unwelcome visi tor, without doing any violence to his ur banity. When the viBit had been sufficient ly protracted he said to his friend : " Mr. A., when I was in Washington, one of , the foreign ministors was kind enough to give me a root which, when tast ed, has the power of conferring immortali ty ; at least no one who has ever tasted it has since died. When you go I will give you a small piece of it.". In a few minutes Mr. A. rose and said he would go and should esteem it an ever lasting favor to have a small piece of that root. Mr. B. retired and soon brought back a piece of rhubarb root done up in paper and gave it to bis visitor with injunctions to take great care of it and keep it secret. Mr. A. left the room, but in a few min utes returned, and sticking his head inside the door, exclaimed, "Mr. B., a thousand times obligod to you for this root, but I will take it as a special favor if you will not give any of it to my wife." t3T A pocket-diary, picked up iu the street of a neighboring city, would seem to indicate, from the following choice extracts that the owner was a raedioal man: " Kase 230, Mary An Perkins. BIsnes, wash-woman. Sickness in her bed. Fislk, sum blue pits, a soaperiflx; age" 63. Ped me one. dollar, 1 kuarter bogus. Mind get good kuarter and mak her tok mo fisik.

The Old Woinmen has got the roks." ; IW " I wonder what causes the eyes of young men of the present day to be so weak f " said young lady to country aunt, who ' was reading the " Pilgrim's Progress" fn the smallest type without barneys. "My dear," was the tart re spouse, "the eyes of young men are in the weakest part." ' '' Mnrphle vs. St. CUIrs. A certain gentleman of the Milesian per suasion, ' who has achioved some little no toriety In this country, and the initials of whose last name, if put together, would spell Murphy, for some reason or other, and much to the disgust of his brother Irish men, changed his time-honored patronymio to, the more hifalutin cognomen of St. Clair. Every one knows how it hurts an Irishman's feelings to see a brother Irish man go back on the ould sod, and you may no sure be got many a sharp rap on the knuckles, as the saying is, for the change of name. Some time during the war, our hero was stopping at the M. House, as was also a dashing young Irish officer of our army. They chancedto be vis-a-tis at the table, and Major J., who always goes in for a joke, whether at his own expense or some one else's, thought the opportunity too good to be lost, so he sings out to the waiter, " Patrick." , Pat came to him. " Bring me a St. Clair," said the Major, in his matter-of-fact way. "A which, sur?" said Pat. "A St. Clair, I said. Don't you under stand the American dialect ?" Pat, sorely bothered, scratched his head and replied: "Sure, Ameriky is a quare country, and I never heard such a thing axed for before sur, at all." " Well, Patrick," quoth our joker, with the air of one about to impart useful knowledge, " it's a potato 1 want; we used to call them Murphies at home, but I be lieve the polite name for them, in this country, is St. Clair." The Major hit hard that time, at least, forthe owner of the "polite" name left the table, amid the unrestrainable roars of the company, who understood and fully ap preciated the joke, and I believe that was his last appearance on that stage. GotHcb Scheercr's Little Joke. , There is an anecdote of Gotliob Scheerer, who, twenty years ago, was an active Philadelphia politician, and Vice-President Dallas, which is here first given in print. Some thirty years ago Mr. Dallas was coun sel in a case in Philadelphia, and Mr. Schoerer was called as a witness. The fol lowing questions were put by Mr. Dallas: " Mr. Scheerer, were you iu Harrisburg last June?" "Last June, did you say, Mr. Dal las?" "Yes, last June; don't repeat my ques tion, but answer it." After some moments of study the an swer came: " No, Mr. Dallas, I was not in Harrisburg last June 1", " Were you in Harrisburg in July?" He reflected again, and slowly said, "No, Mr. Dallas, I was not in Harrisburg in July." ... "Were .you there in August Mr. Scheer er?! . ; The witness again meditated, and said : "No, Mr. Dallus, I was not there in August."- ' " Were you there in September?" Here Mr. Scheerer reflected longer than before and replied: "No, Mr. Dallas, I was not in Harrisburg in Soptember." Mr. Dallas became tired of this barren result, and raising his voice, said: ' "Mr. Scheerer, willjou tell the court at what time you were in Harrisburg ?" "Mr. Dallas," said Seheorer, "I never was in Harrisburg in my life." . . The court, the audience and Ootlieb Scheerer enjoyed the Joke, but Mr. Dallas did not heartily partake of the merriment created. tW Not long ago the old hippopotamus of the London Zoological Gardens suffered much from a decayed tooth. In former times he would have been shot, as was poor "Chunce," the elephant at Exeter Change. Mr. Bartlott, superintendent of the Garden, however, determined to pull out the tooth. He ordered the blacksmith to make a pair of " tooth forceps," and a tremendous pair they were. The "bite" of the forceps just fitted the "tooth of the hippo. By skillful management Bartlott managed to seize Master Uipoo's tooth as be put his head through the bars. The hippo, roaring frightfully, pulled one way, Bartlett and the keeper pulled the other, and at last out came the tooth, and Hippo soon got well again. , , . Description of Mammoth Springs. This spring, though comparatively' un known, is among one of nature's grandest curiosities. It rises about one hundred yards from the southern boundary line of Missouri, in township 21, north of range S west, iu Fulton county, Arkansas. It ap pears to boil up out of the ground at the foot of a large hill.. The spring covers vbout five acres, . and makes a river that could be navigated by small boats were, ,it not for the abundant fall over cliffs and large stones. On this river is the greatest water power or mill site, almost, In the world, having so much fall, and the advan tage of rock bottom, and water enough to run all the machinery that a man ' could wish to own. The river flows south and southeast, to its Junotion with Black river, about ten miles below Pocahontas, Arkan sas. I Exohange. .',)' 1ST Motto for tea-merchants Honest tea is the best policy. SUNDAY HEADING. " A CAPITAL MAXIM. LADY M. WORTLEY MONTAGUE relates the following story i "One ' day, as an ancient king of Tartary was riding with his officers of Stato, they met a derviBe crying aloud, "To him that will give me a hundred dinars,- (small pieces of money,) I will give A piece of good ad vice.) The king, attracted by this strange declaration, stopped, and said to the der vise, " What advice is this that you offer for a hundred dinars ?" ' " Sire," replied the dorvise, " I shall be most thankful to tell you as soon as you order the money to be paid me." The king, expecting to hear something extraor dinary, ordered the dinars to be given to the dervise at once: on receiving which, he said, "Sire, my odvico is, begin nothing without considering what the end maybe.' " The officers of State, smiling at what they thought ridiculous advice, looked at the king, who they expected would be so enraged at this insult as to order the der vise to be severely punished. ,The king, seeing their amusement and surprise, said, "I see nothing to laugh at in the advice of this dervise; but, on the contrary, I am persuaded that if it were more frequently practised, men would escape many calami ties. Indeed, so convinced am I of the wisdom of this maxim, that I shall have it engraved on my plate and written on the walls of my palace, so that it may be ever before me." The king, having thanked the dervise, proceeded towards his palace; and on his arrival he ordered the chief Bey to see that the maxim was engraved on his plate and on the walls of his palace. " Some time after this occurrence, one of the nobles of the court, ai proud, ambi tious man, resolved to destroy the king and place himself on the throne. In order to accomplish his bad purpose, he secured the confidence of one of the king's sur geons, to whom ho gave a poisoned lancet, saying, " If you will bleed the king with this laucet, I will give you ten thousand pieces of gold, and when I ascend the throne you shall be my vizier." This base surgeon, dazzled by such brilliant pros pects, wickedly assented to the proposal. " An opportunity of effecting" his evil de sign soon occurred. The king sent for this man to bleed him. He put the poi soned lancet into a side pocket, and hast ened into the king's presence. The arm was tied, and the fatal lancet was about to be plunged into the vein, when sudden ly the surgeon's eye read this maxim at the bottom of the basin, 1 Begin nothing without considering what the end may be.' He immediately paused, as he though within himself, ' If I bleed the king with this lancet he will die, and I shall be seized and put to a cruel death. Then of what use will all the gold in the world be to me?' Then, returning the lancet to his pockot, he drew forth another. The king, observ ing this, and perceiving that he was much embarrassed, asked why he changed his lancet so suddenly. He stated that the point was broken ; but the king, doubting bis statement, commanded him to show it. This so agitated him, that the king felt as sured all was not right. He said, ' There is treachery in this ! Tell me instantly what it means, or your head shall be sev ered from your ! body 1' The surgeon, trembling with fear, promised to relate all to the kiug, if he would only pardon his gujlt. The king consented, and the sur geon related the whole matter, acknowl edging that had it not been for the words in the basin, he should have used the fatal lancet. "The king summoned his court, and ordere'd the traitor to be executed. Then turning to his officers of State, he said, " You now see that the advice of the der vise, at which you laughed, is most valua ble: it bas saved my life. Search out thu dervise, that I may amply reward him for his wise maxim.'" A Problem. 'A young man, distinguished for his mathematical attainments, was fond of challenging bis fellow students to a trial of skill in solving diffloult problems. One day a classmate came into his study, and laying a folded paper before him, said, " There is a problem I wish you would help me to solve," and immediately left the loom. !, The paper was eagerly unfolded, and there traced the lines: " What shall it pro fit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul; or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?" , With a gesture of impatience he tore the paper to atoms, and turned again to bis books.. But in vain he tried to shake off the impression of the solid words he had read. The Holy Spirit pressed home his conviction of guilt and danger, so that he could find no peace till be found it in believing In Jesus. He subsequently be came a minister of the Gospel be had once despised and bis first sermon was from the words, so eminently blessed to his own soul: ' " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose hie own soul?" , , ;,, , 17 If the best man's faults were writ ten ou hi forehead he would draw his hat over, his eyes.
