iVT THE OFFICE OF
I'm growing Old.
BY JOHN G. SAXE.
Sly days pass pleasantly away,
My nizhts arc blessed vrith sweetest ?,
sleep ;
I feel no symptoms of decay,
I have no cause to mourn nor weep;
My foes are impotent and shy,
My friends are neither false nor cold,
And yet of late, I often sigh
I'm growing old !
My growing talk of olden times,
My growing thirst for early news,
My growing a path' to rhymes,
My growing love for easy shoe?,
My growing hate of crowds and noiic.
My growing fear of taking cold,
AH tell me in the pleasaut voice,
I'm growing old !
I'm growing fonder of my staff,
I'm growing dimmer in the eyes,
I'm growing fainter in my laugh,
I'm growing deeper in my sighs,
I'm growing careless of my dress.
Tm growing frugal of my gold,
I'm growing wise, I'm growing yes
I'm growing old I-
I see it in my changing taste,
I see it in my changing hair,
I see it in my growing waist,
I see it in ray growing heir ;
A thousand hints proclaim the truth,
As plain as truth was ever told,
That, even in my vaunted youth,
I'm crowing old !
Ah, me! my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears;
And ever' boon the hours bequeath
But makes me debtor to the years !
E'en Flattery's honied words declare
The secret she would fain withhold,
And tells me in "IIow young you are !"'
I'm growing old !
Thauks for the years, whose rapid flight
My sombre muse too sadlj sings ;
Thanks for the gleams of golden life
That lint the darkness of their wings'
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold,
"Where all are blest and none may sigh,
I'm growing old !

The Monster Snake Taken.
Correspondence of the Buffalo Daily Republic.
Perry Village, N. Y., Aug. i3, 1855.
This part of (he couutry is wild with
excitement. The immense snake, with
various descriptions of which the papers
have been crowded for two weeks back,
is at length captured. You have un
doubtedly heard all the particulars of his
appearance, the many doubts and sneers
as to the existence of a lusus naturce of
this character in a lake but four miles
long and not quite tnrec-quartcrs of a
mile in width. At any rate it has never
been doubted. Daniel Smith, an old
whaleman, came hero about two weeks
since, after hearing of the appearanco of
the creature, and while here had the good
fortune to sec him. lie immediately scut
to New York for an old shipmate of his
and his 'irons,' and on Friday last both
arrived with harpoons, cordage and eve
rj'thing necessary to catch a monster.
Many strangers who are stopping at the
i Walker House in this city, attracted to
' this part of the country by the excitc-
ment in regard to the monster, and who
had obtained no glimpse of him, laughed
.' at them for their pains; but they kept on
with their preparations all over the lake
for upward of eight days, and the two
whalemen had a sharp look-out kept all
the time beside watching themselves.
- The lake has several outlet?, the largest
of which runs through this village and
finally empties into or becomes Genesee
Bivcr. lu tho vicinity of this outlet he
was seen first, and on Sunday he came
to the surface, delaying about 30 feet of
his long, sinuous body, remaining, how
ever, but a row moments. lne ooats
were on the watch all Sunday night.
The whalemen had 1,200 feet of strong
, whale line in their boat, the end of which
' ran ashore and fastened to a treo. On
Monday morning everything was on the
; alert. The shores were lined with towns
people and strangers, and every body
. seemed very much excited. About 9
o'clock the animal made his appearance
between the whaleman's boat and the
shore revealing twenty or thirty feet of
his length. He lay quiescent upon the
surface, when tne whalemen's boat moved
' slowly toward him Mr. Smith of Cov
ington poising a Lilly-iron in the air, (a
Lill3-iron is a patent harpoon, a heavy
cutting knife being attached by the mid
dle to the end of the iron by a rivet. As
soon as the knife enters the body of an
animal this movable blado turns at right
angles to the wound and being entirely
blunt and flat on one side it is impossible
to extricate it except by cutting out.)
When they had got about ten feet from
the animal the iron whistled through the
air and went deep into his body. In a
moment tne whole length of the monster
was lashing the air, at a bound revealing
his whole enormous length, and then ma
king tho water boil in every direction, he
described rapid, foaming circles and areas
of circles, with such a swiftness tho eye
, could scarcely follow him. Then he dart
i ed off in another direction toward the up
per part of the lake, the suddenness of
his movement almost dragging the boat
under water. Line was gradually given
him, and after the space of half an hour,
it was plain that his strength wa3 almost
, exhausted. The whalemen then came a
shore and gradually hauled the line in.
The body was within fifty feet of the
' shore, when renewed life appeared to have
been given him, and with one dart he
carried nearly all the line out. This was
his last, great effort. lie was slowly
d d Q aa)5d tbe wildest exche.
unt;i ti1G hodv of the monster has n di-
1 -
brane is seen, which, wnue n protects uiu
eye of the animal, docs not interfere wifh
its vision. He has no nostrils or gills,
apparently. The mouth of this serpent,
or whatever it may be, is underneath is
almost a counterpart of the mouth of the
fish called a sucker, possessing the same
valvular power, pursed up but it can be
stretched eo as to take in a body of thc

j, No teeth can be discovered. A hard bony
substance extends in two parallel lines a
round the upper and lower part of tho
head. His color is a dusky brown on tho
sides and back, but underneath the belly
it is a dirty white. It is sinuous like a
snake, but has along its back, and on each
side, a row of hard substanco, knob-like
in shape the largest raised four inches
from the surface of the body, cxteudiug
from head to tail.
The news of his capture spread like
wild-fire, and before night hundreds and
hundreds of people from the neighboring
towns and villages had collected to see
this wonder. The animal still has tho
harpoon in him. It passed through the
muscular portion of tho back and touch-

How Best to Preserve the Teeth.
It is probable that no department of tho
healing art is subjected to more frequent
abuses than that relating to the treat
ment of the teeth, and all intelligent per
sons should know that no practiser of that
specialty can be safely trusted whose
character and professional standing are
unknown to them. I would call atten

though the teeth may bo made to look
very white in a minute or two by the uso
of acid, they soon become darker than
ever, to be whitened no more, and early
decay decay and pain aro sure to follow.
In cleaning the teeth by mechanical means
the only caution to be observed is that
they should not be broken nor scratched,
and that tho tartar shall be so perfectly
removed that a smooth surface shall be
left, as upon a rough surface there is sure
to be a fresh accumulation of tartar. To
have this done properly it is necessary to
obtain the aid of a practised hand, with
appropriate instruments,

any other hand if a dentist is near. If
one is not, then let a handy and firm per
son, having first cut tho gum well from
the neck, embrace the tooth as near the
root as possible with a pair of forceps,
and extract the tooth just as he would ex
tract a nail from a piece of furniture he
w;ould not like to injure. For such a
class of teeth there is a peculiar motion
in drawing; but these none but the den
tist will be likely to remember. To re
lieve an aching tooth apply a drop or two
of any essential oil or of laudanum, if you
can get it into a cavity, or a single drop
of cresote, not around the tooth, but in
the cavity, and having done so, close up
the cavity, first with a little cotton and
then with a little beeswax. The repeated
application of such a remedy will some
times destroy the sensation of the tooth
but more powerful agents for this purpose
should be applied by the dentist alone.
Even theso are sometimes injurious to the
mouth when carelessly applied. Above
all, however, never trust your teeth (in
jury to which can never be repaired) to
any person in whose personal integrity
