Why : Do Not Our Teeth Last 'Our 'Life
. time '1
Thai- they are made:'perfect, • if:tlie
right materials are furnished, -there
cannot be a doubt.
,But are the necessary elements fur
nished to children as they are the
young of other animals? And do
,we
not subject our teeth to deleterious in
fluences from which animals that obey
their natural instinct are exempt.
The former young of other- animals,
while dependent on the mother, get
lime, and phosphorus, and potash, and
silex, -and all .the other elements of
- which the teeth are composed, from the
blood or milk of the mother, and she
gets them from the food which Nature
'provides, containing these elements in
their natural proportions. ' •
But where' can the child in its form-.
ing state get'these-,necessary elements,
whose mother 'lives chiefly on starch,
and Witter, and sugar, neither of which
contains a particle of lime, phosphorus,
potash or silex ? She makes teeth as
glass is linade, by combining the ele
ments which compose them according
to her o . wn , chemical principles. 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

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

ANOTHER SKUNK STORY.—The Grant
Co. '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 ?" " The great

" What. do you consider the greatest,

THE LEGACY HUNTERS.

Abigail'
It was Varley's - threescore
and tenth- birthday'. She was a rich
widow, childless, with no known rela
tion save two gentlemen cousins.

(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

bject of their solicitude had die-appear

-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

girl. • , . - -

knee of friend U:k,,. who stroked her

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

With a icing that betokened a -most

With a violent kick Pompey was sent

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,

audible, and cousin Dick and Roger
staid to hear no more. -
ABOUT BABI . IES.—In one of our'street
ears of the metropolis, a few evenings
sidee was a lady-with a baby.
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 !"

We have received a Jolly letter from
our correspondent "BA,conus," who has
been '"camping out" , in the happy hun
ting grounds of Tioga County, Pennsyl
vania, which we venture to publish :
DEAR J. B.: I ought to have written
lontree t tp—"ll own it, ,I condemn it, I
deplore:it." But, on slinging ink I am

She spirit moves, and the spirit moves

,
Egor, you been.
will understand, I have
"`on the c ek." - There was a party of
four: Cap en Niles, Bush, Derby, and
thy serva t—him, of many, tlrods and
much rifle.(?) Went by the Marsh road,
and the par y dropped me. at Canada
itun, where we had alight Skiff', which
I WaS expected to run from there to
muskrat Eddy on Pine Creek. I did
it-. ' I could have . done it much 'easier
had • water been. plentier--or at least
more evenly distributed, with, less ob
structions in the shape of ripples, bars,
eh lotus, old logs, snags, roots blown
doWn trees, etc. As the water was not
in navigable shape, it would have im- -
proved the thing to have diluted It
slightly with Bourbon;
a little—even a
half pint—would have been equal to a
steam scow on obstructions. 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? The way that party
picked at me was awful, and I had n't
"done nothin"—to speak of yet, they
just made a dead set at me until bed
time 'each night. All accidents 'in
camp are on my head by common con
sent. If a fellow gets tight, and a brand
rolls down and blisters his toes while
he is sleeping it off; if another chap
reduceS himself to temporary blindness
'through mixing his percussion-caps-and
-promiscuously-Eureka-smoking-tobac
ee, its me that did it! "whereas, I was
the man's best friend, and helped him
with the sweat of my brow till it poured
clown like rain." (,Rogue.Riderhood.)
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..
Ferowell to the camp on the Limits of the Eddy,
Where We frightened the herons with laughter
and song.
Our skiff is haul9d up and the knapsacks aro
ready,
The whisky runs short—and the journey is long!
Fa'rowell to the spot t i vhere the doe came to water.,
And crossed us in 'camp with the speed of the
wind
(If I wanted to lie I would that we shot her,)
Farewell to the houtida that came yelping he
hind.
Tho Captain complains
That it constantly rains,
And swears ho prefers a secession attack;
For each•theuniatic pain •
Makes it hard t 6 abstain
From crooking Lis elbow•to straighten his back!

A HUMAN BODY AND THU. HOUR pr
DAY.—Seat yourself at a table. At
tach a piece of metal (say a shilling) to'
a thread. Having placed your.elbow
on a table, hold thelthread between the
points of the thimib and forefinger, anti
allow the shilling to bang in the centre
of a glass tumbler.. The pulse will im
mediately ttause the shilling to vibrate
like a pendulum, and the vibrations
will increase until the . shilling strikes
the sides of the glziss ;' and suppose the
time of the experiment be at the hour
of 7, or half past 7, the pendulum will
sirike the glass seven times, and then
lose its momentum . and return to the
centre ; if you hold tbe thread a sutli
eient length of time, the effect will ye
repeated; but not until a sufficient
length of time has elapsed to convince
you that the experiment is complete.—
We need not add that the thread must
be held with a steady hand, otherwise
the vibrating motion would be contrac
ted. At whatever hour of tho day or
night the experiment is made, the coin
cidence will be the same.

ing a young horse to drive well, do not
hurry to see how fast he can go. Keep
each pace clear and distinct from the
other, that in walking make him
walk and do not allow him to trot.—
While trotting, be equally careful that
lie keeps steady at his pace, and do not
allow him to slack into a walk. , The
reins while driving, should, be sung;
and when pushed to the :top of his
speed keep him well in hand that he
may learn to bear upon the bit, sa that
when going at a high rate of speed he
can be held at his pace,-hut do not al
low him to pull too bard, for it is not
only unpleasant, but makes it often dif
