And this illustration is the more forcible be cause the composition of the enamel of the teeth airth of &SA' is very nearly identical; both, at least, requiring -the 'Combination of silex with some alkal line principle. • If, then, the mother of an unborn or .nursing infant lives on white brcad anti butter, pastry tind confectionery; which contain no silex, and verylittle of the of her elements which compose tliq teeth, liothing s ort of a miracle can give her a child with good teeth, and especially with teeth , ell enameled._ But whall articles of food will make good teetlfi'?

'Witness gets off, the best skunk story of the season : The " other day a couple of - German women were walking along the road some four or five miles south of Platte ville, when they came across what they supposed to be a very handsome kitten. Being in want ofmuch an animal one of them caught it and carried it in her apron until she procured a sack from elle of the neighbors to take it home in. It was -scoured in the sack, and they walked'off gaily pleased with their ac quisition. Before theY had .gone very far one of then? snuffed around and asked, " Vas riecht so?" ' The other " Telt weis nicht. Veilich ist es die grass." 4 .` Nein," said the other, " Dtis ktut ts muss,die katz in sack sein. SehmeiSs doch des ein felling ding awoc." But the. other persisted in holding on to her treasure until they got home, when the hus band of one of them promptly des patched the animal with a club. The women said they never before came across n cat with stich a had breath. Said Lord Russel to Mr. Hume, at a social dinner, " What do you consider the ohjeet of egislation ?"

She was a rich widow, childless, with no known rela tion save two gentlemen cousins. Never teas coasinly attachment more beautifully illustrated, or'cousinly jeal ousy less amiably exemplified, than the daily : Walk 140 conversation of these two .collateral kinsmen.' 'they bestowed so ranch ' affection' on- their common relative, that they had none left to waste between thqmselve,s.' Both were several yearkiyounge , than ,the lady, with a fair prospect, according• to the life tables apd the Icourse of na ture., of, surviving. her ; how to sup 'plant each other in her will, which she had at laSt 'began 'to'talk' seriously' bf making; was this*•probletif which at :pres'eut engaged their attention, •, (holm ,morning in question, when censhiltdger called to-wislicousiiiikbi 'gall the usual "many happy 'returns," he was not a little, chagrined: to find cousin Dick there before- him. Like :uncle . Ptimblebeek, however, he :pre sented hisantivalßift, and went through 'his annual 'speech without • missing . a -word; and seeing ',cabby, the cousinly cat, : perched snugly on his knee, !by way Of not being outdone in &Mainly .attention',- he took , nP. , Pompey,* the ,eousinly poodle, though 'dogs were his 'abomination, and he had a perfect her rot. of " Well, cousin Abigail, • I hope your health,- continues good," ;said = cousin Roger, , patting -Pompey's, head, and, ;daubing suspiciously at cousin Dick, 'Whom he devoutly wished 'at Jericho. "Not so good latterly as it has been. The feet is," thy old lady con tinned, •".I have been thinking seriously of sending for Mr. Barker, with a view to settling my Worldly allitirs without delay." "Oh I, there is no need of haste; cou sin," broke in Dick; "you have, many years before you yet ;" mentally adding, "What has induced the old hinny to put it oir so Ring 7" - "Well, well, l suppose there's no hurry - about • acquiesced cousin Abigail.' • '"Aild yet Cousin, Roger ventured to hint, "it-is always well to be prepared ; none of ps Vail tell the minute or the hour,you know." • "And after all calling in a lawyer is not so serious a matter us calling in a doctor," said cousin Dick, facetiously. "Voris any one more apt to die for having made one's will," chirOd in cousin Roger. The conversation was interrupted by the entrance of a young and beautiful girl, at ,Thom cousin Dick started with a surprised and troubled look. "Pardon me, madam," she said in a voice' remarkably sweet and gentle; "not knowing you were engaged, I came.to see if you wished me, as usual, to;Tead.to you to day." "PreScotty, dear," Mrs. Varley an swered in a , tone that plainly hinted lier.visitors would not be prossod to stay if they offered to go. Atter an awkward pause, the two cousins took their departure together. "Who is that girl'," .inquired Roger as soon as they reached the street. "Yeti may well ask!" said 'cousin and stooping., he whispered softie thing in lsia companiou 's ear, at which the latter started sudde ily. "Good heaven I the resemblance is certainly striking, But what is to be done? Do you think the old—cousin Abigail, I mean, suspects anythibg:"' "Not yet, I think ; but no time is to be lost.' I have a plan which it would be well for us to talk together;" and the two hurried rapidly along. Mrs.! Varley had occasionally found time hang heavy on her hands, and so had advertisedfor a suitable person to fill the post of- companion to an aged lady. it was thus that Hester Darling had become an inmate of the house. At as early an hour as was seemly on the morning following that on . which we introduced them to the reader, Roger and Dick again presented them selves before their cousin. "We have thoughtito,urduty, cousin," began Dick. "Our bounden duty," put in Roger. "As painful as_it is imperative," Dick continued. "To put you on your guard," Roger added. "Against a deceitful and designing person," exclaimed Dick. "Who is no better than she should be!" shouted Roger, red with indigna tion, • "Upon my word, cousins, I don't comprehend a syllable you've uttered," said Mrs. Varley, "nor shall I be likely to, if you both keep talking at once. Come, Dick,' you, seem least excited; what is the meaning of all this?" "What means, inay I venture to ask," said Dick, "did you take to ascertain the character and antecedents of 'the young woman at present sheltered be neath yoti roof P' "Why, none," replied the good lady. "Her youbg and int th fill face was recom mendation enough on which to give her a trial." I "We hide ,ascertained her to lie a n l iost vile and abandoned creature," proceeded Dick, "and have deemed it proper;at 011eV, to apprise you of the discovery. Should she deny the aced sation, we are,prepared with abundant proofs." And the two cousins took their leave with an air of virtue as exalted at that of the two elders of whom we read in the "Story of Susannah." Mrs. Varley Was a lady of the strict est propriety and severest morals. Much as she pitied the poor mid friendless girl, site Mast be promptly freed from this foul and dreadful charge, or cross tier threshold never-to return. Slid went directly to Hester's "You must tell me your past history, child," said Mrs. Vat'ley, in a deter mined but not unkindly tone. "Oh! madam, I pray you pardon me, but I cannot, cannot tell it." I "l'hen it has been ono of shame and guilt." "For a time of shame, madana," an swered the young girl, with flushed cheek. "but vever of guilt." \\That was it that caused Mrs. Varley to start so suddenly, and, stagger half fainting to a seat at Ilester's dressing table? "Who—whose likeness is that?" she exclaimed, in a scarce articulate VOiep , , pointing to an onen . miniature on the table. "My mother's," Hester answered. "Then you are Florence Martin's childl" "Thatwas i n deed my mother's name." "More, you are the daughter of my only brother, George Haywood, for Florence Marvin was hjs wife!" With a stilled cry, site who had be lieved herself lOne and friendless in the world fell on her kinswomah's neck., and wept tears ar sorrow. Her story, which Hester had refused to confide to a stranger's ears, she now felt she had no longer a right to with hold. That her mother had married in oppo sition to her father's wishes:and bad been disinherited in consequence, was already known to Abigail VaricY ; but the distant spot he had selected for his home, and what befell him there she had never learned. The story was sad enough. After a felt/ toilsome but not unhappy years, for they were spent in the loved societyof his wife and child, a dire ca lamity I had fallen upon George Hay wood. Ire came under suspicion of a fearful crime. A network of circum stances too intricate • for man's wit to untangle environed hitn, i and. 'he was condemned to die. The stern judgment was carried into effect, and the executed murderer's despised widow sought con cealment for he4ielf and child in a Change of placeland name. Long, long years afterwatds the truth was dis covered, but the judicial, murder had passed among the thirigS irrevocable. The poor t - widow. died at last—died broken-hearted, but with one consola tion ; she had lived to see her husband's innocence - vindicated:` • "And this, - my .poor child,. is the shame of which you spoke." ; • "My life has known nd - Othei'." • Not many. days after, Hester was sent to one of the first seminaries in the land, for she had yet tune enough to avail Herself of opportunities ofjeultnre hith erto beyond 'her reach. Her aunt and she kept their own counsel." Cousin's town. and Dick only know that the bject of their solicitude had die-appear ti, and probably cOngratulated' theth -elves on the success of their virtuous Stratagem. . After a time Mr. Parker, Consin'Abi gail's lawyer, Was' sent , for; ands after that the good lady seemed wonderfully revived in health and spirits.' At her next birthday the prospect of "many happy, returns" produced anything but a happy effect on the two expectant cousins, who began t 6 think that, after :all, the life tables might' not be infalli ble. . . But her time came at last; and with in a decent peeled after the sad exi,ent, 'cot - Bins Roger and Dick were duly sum moiled to attend the reading of Al4gail Varley's will. , .. . i 4 They were a good deal startled at the sight of their fold enemy, the strange girl. • , . - - Pooi: Tabby , as if seeking consolation 'in her bereas' nent, - leaped upon the knee of friend U:k,,. who stroked her hack patliet lea Ily, but a little nervouSly. () Pompey, who took things more philo sophically, stretched himself out for a snooze at the feet of Roger. Mr. Parker, drawing from his pocket the document, proceeded to read it. The introduction was long and formal. But hark ! there's something com ing now : , "To my cousin, Richard' Figgins- 77 Richard looked at Roger with the tri umph of Vii. prize-fighter who has drawn first blood. giVe and bequeath—" You could have heard' both their hearts beat. —"ln consideration of the .haturid love and affection 'which hltve long 'observed between them—" • Dick looked Nuzzled. —"My favorite Cat Tabby—' ' ,Dick gave Tabby a'furious st ko the wrong way. —"And no ino,:o of my eslatc—." With a icing that betokened a -most empliatlie rentineiation of the legacy, Tabby 'Ois sent mewing and spitting to the farthest cOrner of the room. "To my cousin, Roger Smith—" wastßoger's turn to triumph. —"I n consideration of the like natural love and affection—" . .Qick begin to feel susimetous. —"Lciave and bre - in eath my dog POlll - WO more of my estate." With a violent kick Pompey was sent spinning alter the cat, and the fear of her win, had so long kept the peace be tween them being no longer before their eyes, the pent-up enmity of years fimnd 'vent uproarious' tight, in the noise of which the voice of the old law yer wits almost drowned ; but the words, "rest and residue of my estate—nieee, Hester Haywood," • were sufficiently audible, and cousin Dick and Roger staid to hear no more. - ABOUT BABI .

One of the blue eyed, crowing, happy babies, disarranging its white robes and rumbling its blue ribbons with all the abandon of . a baby that is secure in every fresh supplies both of love and clothes. 'The mother was evidently a stranger to the other ladies in the car ; yet all smiled when they looked in her direction, and many of theit spoke to her and seemed to love her fo the sake of the beautiful child., No hinder blessing wits ever bestowed than that in the close of Fanny Fern'S letter to the then "newly-married" Princess Royal of Tilngland ; "And when brightest, of. all others,-the crown of maternity shall descend upon your youthful brow God grant you that ni cest of all places on earth , to cry in—a mother's bosom !"

It was an. Oversight ou the part of my friends, for which they , made amends When I ran into them, seven miles, lower down. We came at "the Eddy," andl assure you we had the whole thing to our,- selves :---didn't hear a civilized • sound while we worethere. How is it that every fellow who goes into camp with me, makes a dead set at me on rigging?

Well, we had a jovial time of it, and the hardest part was the leaving, get ting back . to the clearings and settling to the treadmill again. There was one little' incident that made the camp'lively for a time: a fine doe came down the Eddy runway and dashed' across the stream within easy pistol shot. , The' creek was high from the late rains—the doe was just scared enough to run, and she made running that was just poetry—the " poetry of motion ;" there wasn't a thing in camp ,that would shoot (pistols there were, but of the other kind.) Then , there caihe down the mountain two spotted hounds, making strange cries that were hard to understand, 'until they swam across, and we saw that their heads were, just stuck full of porcupine quills, inside and out; their tongues, lips, and. even throats were filled like a brush ; yet, poor devils, they hung to the track, and it was with difficulty we caught them. We tied them and hold a con sultation on the state of affairs, where in it was decided that a party of hunt ers could do no less than oiler all the aid in their power to a good hound in dis tress. We adjourned fishing, made two pairs of wooden pincers, led out and gigged a long-eared miserable; elected Derhy dog-holder and BUsh general liottle 7 holder and - referee, while the Captain and I were to do the heavy pulling. It was an afternoon's job, but two good hounds UM were doomed tog death of torture without sudden help, are now in running condition and well calculated to enjoy canine felicity..
