Most persons know the danger and folly of trust iog their work to the ignorant as well as the traveling dentist. It matters not how much experience a person may have, he is liable to have some failures out of a number of cases, and if the dentist lives at a distance it is frequently put off until it is too late to save the tooth or teeth as it mav be, other wise the inconvenience and trouble of going jso far. Hence the necessity of obtaining the services of a dentist near home. All work warranted. JStrpudsburg, March 27, 18G2.

May. The " flowery month," as it is famil iarly called, or the fifth month in the calandar, is derived from the Latin word Jllauis, so named in honor of the goddess Maria, daughter of Atlas and mother of Mercury by Jupiter. "The flowery May, who from her green lap throws, The yellow cowslip and the pale pimrose.

Sometimes the May-pole was brought to the village green in great pomp, being drawn by twenty yoke of oxen, each being garland with flowers, with which, as well as with branches, flags and streamers, the pole itself was profusely wreathed and decked. When it was reared, arbors and bowers were formed beneath it, and the ground was strewed with flowers; 44 and then' says a writer in Elizabeth's days, 44 they fall to: banquet, and feast, to leap and dance about it, as the heathen people did at the dedication of their idolles whereof this is a perfect pattern, or rather the thing it self." The constellation Gemini, or the twins the last of the spring signs was, by the ancients, made to preside over the, destinies of this month. The festival of this month includes, among others, Whit Sunday and Trinity Sunday; the former, probably, derived from the cu.tom in the Romish church of convents, newly bap tised, appearing from Easter to Whitsun tide dressed in white. State Guard. Marriage. A recent sermon by Henry Ward Beecher has the following in regard to marriage: You that are starting, avoid the errors of those who have gono too fast and too far. You that are old bear witness for your selves and seek to repair as far as you can the errors of your own lives, by warning and directing the young. Young men take hold of each others hands. Maidens, look to the God of your fa thers. If there be any one iu this world who cannot afford not to be a Christian, it is a woman. If there be any one whose beauty fades as a flower, and whose grace needs the susteuance of the ineffable; if there be any one more than another upon whom blight falls more rudely; if there be any one more than another who is more burdened with grief or more wrung with sorrow, it is a woman that is not a Chris tian. The ladder between your souls ami God is not half so long as that between our souls and God. God made woman to be better than man; and the perversion is in proportion when she is worse. I beseech of every young man and of every young maiden, that is beginning life to begin it aright. Now is the time. Days are passing. Years are accumulat- it win uc too late by ana by. lie- rin now. A writer who says his cow gives all the milk that is "wanted in a family of eight persons, and from which was made 200 pounds of butter in the year, gives the following as his treatment. . He says: " If you desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cow three times a day water slightly warm, slightly salted, in which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of water. You will find, if you have not found this by daily practice, that your cow will gain 25 J " Because I expected some fool or oth per cent immediately under the effect of.er would ask me," said he, " so I mcas it. and she will become so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty, but this mess the will drink almost any time, and ask for more.

A. correspondent of the Cincinnati Chronicle, writing from Chillocothe, says : Coming out over the Marietta and Cin cinnati road, on the evening of the 22d, with Conductor Hardin, I had the good luck to fall in company with Messrs. J. N. Wright and S. M. McMahill, of Green field, Ohio. We had been talking but a few minutes when the conversation turn ed upon the condition of affairs in the South. The operations of the Kuklux Klan, the pravailing rebel preference of Andy Johnson and 13 rick Pomeroy for President and Vice-President, &c, etc., were freely' and radically discussed. These topics naturally elicited sundry parentneticai comments upon Southern character, and in the course of these Mr. McMahill happened to remember that he had in his pocket a relic of the barbarism exhibited by the F. F. V.'s towards John Brown and his confederates; and, pro ducing his pocket-book, took from that receptacle a small piece of well finished leather of remarkable fineness. of texture i" That," said he, is a piece ot the tanned dents - of that school took off the hide somewhat after the manner of skinning a beef, tanned it, and had it manufactured into moccasins, which, into the most truly chivalric style, they delighted to use as ornaments to their " blooded " pedal extremities on all public occasions. The piece shown by Mr. McMahil was a scrap left from the cutting of these " Yankee-skin " slippers, and was pro cured in 18G0, at the Winchester Medi cal Institute, by Mr. McMahil, while he was visiting some. relatives in the vicini ty of that place. It was voluntarily pre sented to him by one of the students; who, after a triumphant parade of the slippers, and a bloviating description of the processes by which they were pro duced, heroically exclaimed, " That's the way we se've you d d Yankees when ye come 'mongst us an' don't walk afteh ouh style!" A Plain Answer. Among the people who came to market recently, says a Philadelphia paper, was a citizen of West Jersey. He brought a stock of eggs and butter. In a big coop in the rearmost part of his wagon he had a splendid peacock, whose tail spread out beautiful even to gorgeousness, like a trail of a lady's dress. An Irishman passing by observed the splendid plum age of the bird, and asked its price.' " Thee can have it for fifteen dollars," was the reply of the owner, whose garb indicated him as a member of the Society of Friends. " That's a good price," was the inter rogative remark of the Celt as he smooth ed the ample tail of the feathered biped. " There are plenty of people who will give that for him," was the placid and very true rejoinder. The Celt surveyed the bird, admired his proportions, but still endeavored to cheapen hrm. " Mister," said he, at last, to the grave gentleman who held the bird for sale, " Mister, people say these birds have a very bad voice." " I have nothing to say about their voices' was the quiet reply. " If thee wants the fowl thee can take it; if thee doscn't, its voice dosen't make any mat ter to thee." 44 But," says the Celt, don't thim birds holler like the devil!" " Friend," was the placid reply, 11 thee- probably in that respect has an advantage over me. Thee evidently has acquaintances that I -have not. If thee thinks that the scream of this bird is like that of thy friend, whom thee has named, I, in my ignorance, will not presume to contradict thee." The next minute the Celt was at an opposite stall in the market buying a ten cent bunch of carrots. He bought no peacock on that day. ' . Coarse, but Stinging. A browbeating counsel asked a witness during a trial for assault, at what dis tance he was from the parties upon whom the assault happened. He answered: "Just four feet five inches and a half."

A Great Foot Traveler He Proposes to Circumnavigate the Globe. From the Omaha Herald, 22d ult. At about the time Weston started on his travels, the walking mania, which seized upon so many, was supposed to in clude Seth Wilber Payne, whose arrival in Omaha we now chronicle. The an nouncement of starting from New York to walk from that city to San Francisco was published at the time. Ho left New York on the 11th of November and reached St. Joseph about the middle of February. His route lay via Heading, Ilarrisburg, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Springfield, St. Louis, Jefferson City, Kansas, Jkc. He is traveling over the world on foot in pursuit of knowledge, is comparatively a young man, not over twentv-five years, of medium statute, dark hair, square, firm-looking face, the lower jaw angles, the compressed lip, and the whole expression indicating resolute ness of purpose and determination of character qualities that must be largely drawn upon in prosecuting the under- taking he is now executing. He has tested his mettle, however, having walked 44 All over Britain on Foot," which is the chief title of a book written by him soon to be published. It originated in " A Thousand Miles Walk in the. Old World, in 1807," in accomplishing which he 44 set out from Glasgow on foot and walked to Edinburgh via Sterling; thence through the south of Scotland by the way of Abbctsford and Dumfries to Ayr; then crossed into Ireland, and walked from Belfast to Dublin (was twice ar rested as a Fenian); recrossing the chan nel into Wales, he walked from Holyhead through North Wales to Liverpool in England, and from Liverpool to London by the way of Manchester, Nottingham, Litchfield, Stratford-on-Avon, Oxford, and Windsor." He is preparing to resume his journey ing to-morrow to and over the great plains and mountains, the first real ob jective point being the Pacific ocean. He proposes to himself to circumnavi gate the globe 1 To as great an extent on foot, of course, as possible, but as he can neither walk nor swim the great pond that separates this continent from the Celestial Empire, he will cross that in the usual way, landing probably at Hong Kong, whence, following the chief rivers of interior China, he expects to push his way into the wild regions north of Afghanistin and Ilindostan, thence into tho 2 cradle world " of the orient, Egypt, North Africa, Arabia, &c., Ac. His purpose is to explore all those un known regions which extend over so much of the area of the oriental coun tries. Strange if True A Chicken Alive Without a Head. The Dayton Journal tells the follow ing story: Mr. Whit. Ilerr, of this city, has shown us a letter from a relative in San Fran cisco, giving an account of a rooster that had his head chopped off on the 28th of February, and was alive at the date of the letter March 22 and walking around as large as life ! The history of this most wonderful affair is briefly this: On the 28th of February the cook of a restaurant in San Francisco decapitated three roosters, and on going out in the yard again a few moments afterward, he could find but two chickens. On looking around more closely he discovered the missing rooster walking around without his head. . The proprietors of the restau rant were acquainted with the wonderful ciroumstance, and they immediately had the rooster carefully taken care of and fed him on boiled milk by means of a small tube inserted in the throat. Strange as it may seem, the rooster was thriving, and the severed neck had nearly healed over. The chicken was placed on exhi bition in a popular garden in San Fran cisco, and thousands of people were ad admitted daily to see it. The correspond ent from whose letter we derive these items saw and critically examined this headless rooster, and certifies to the truth of the revelation. We have heard no theory advanced to account for this pass ing strange case. Keeping Butter. At a recent meeting of the Dairymen's Association in Illionis, Presidcut King remarked that he had been a dealer in butter for thirty years, and considered that May, June and July produco the best, if properly made and put down. Butter containing whey, or lime, or milk, will not keep. It should be made dry, come hard, and be properly cured. Most people salt too high. It should be salted to the palate and it will keep. All in excess of this is injurious. The milk, cream and the surroundings of the butter room, should all be pure, as food odors arc certain to impart a disagreeable flavor. Mr. K. stated that he knew a man to plant honeysuckles and roses around the place where his butter was made, for the purpose of giving it an agreeable flavor. This was a pleasant conceit, whatever the influence on the dairy-room may have been. On Friday a large grey wolf was killed and four cubs captured, six miles from Sandusky City, O. Four full-grown wolves escaped. Another hunt was to have taken place Saturday. It is a mat ter of much, speculation how those ani mals came to.bo itMhat thickly populated section.

He firmly declined, assigning the same reasons, and alleging that the money would go into the Treasury and be used to carry on the war. Finally the guards were ordered to fix bayonets and a shovel was handed them, with instructions to make him work. When the guards first handed him the shovel, he stated to them that if cleaning up camp was a punishment for not doing military duty, he would clean up the en tire camp ; but if it wa3 military duty, he would not. The guard entreated him, argued the case with him,' begged him to render the application of the bayonet un necessary.
