How io SAVE YOUR TEETH.—Mr. Beecher, who is something of a physi cian, as well as theologist, farmer, editor, author, lecturer and reformer generally, says : 'Our teeth decay, hence bad breath, unseemly mouths, imperfect mastication. Everybody regrets it. What is the cause I It is a want of cleanliness. 'A clean 400th never decays. The mouth is a warm of degrees. Particles of meat between the, teeth de compose. Gums and teeth must suffer. Cleanliness will preserve the teeth to an old age. Use a quill pick, and rinse the mouth out after eating; brush and castile soap every morning ; the brush with pure water on retiring. Bestow this trifling care upon your precious teeth, and you will keep them and ruin the dentists. Neglect it, and you will be sorry all your lives. Children forget. Watch them. The first teeth determine the character of the second set. Give them equal care. Sugar, acids, hot drinks, saleratus, are nothing compared with food decompos ing between the teeth. Mercury may loosen the teeth, use may wear them out, but keep them clean and they will never decay. This advice is worth more than a thousand dollars to every boy and girl. Books have been written on the subject, but this contains all that is es sential. AN INCIDENT IN A RAILWAY OAR:- Monster.—l'm afraid I'm sitting on your erioolin ma'am.

On the evening of the 13th of Febru ary, 1850, two young men sat in a com fortably furnished room in a New York boarding house. A bright fire glowed in the grate, well chosen engravings adorned the walls, and a bright light was diffused about the room from an Argand burner. Let me introduce the occupants of the apartment as foul Stacy and John Wil bur, young men of twenty-five or there abouts, who were known in the business circles as Stacy & Wilbur, retail dry goods dealers, No. Broadway. They had not been in business long, but were already doing unusually well. They had taken apartments together, one of which is now presented to the reader. Bad it occurred to you. Wilbur,' asked his partner, removing his cigar, and knocking away the ashes, that to morrow is St. Valentine's Day p Yes, I thought of it this afternoon, as I was walking up from-the store.' 'So did I, and to some pnriiose, too, as I will show you.' Tom Stacy went to a drawer and drew out a gorgeous Valentine, an elaborate combination of hearts, doves, etc. ' What do you think I gave•for that?' he asked. ' I don't know, I'm sure. It appears to be very elegant' . It cost me ten dollars.' Whew !' whistled Wilbur. It strikes me you are either very extrava gant or very devoted. May I know what fair damsel is to be made glad by the receipt of this elegant missive ?' ' That's my secret,' said Tom, laugh lug. ' I don't mind telling you, however. It's to gu to Editb Oastleton I presume you feel particularly in terested;in the young Jady ?' ' Not at all. But I told her I would send her a Valentine, ei la volo I Shan't you conform to the custom of the day ?' had not thought of it,' said John, thoughtfully, but I believe I will.' nd .what fair lady shall you select as the recipient ?' You remember the poor seamstress who occupies an attic i❑ the house.' ( Yes, I have met her on the steps two or three times.' ',She looks as if times were hard with her. I think I will send her a Valen tine.' 'And what good do you think it will do her ?' asked Stacy, in surprise. Wait till you see thelind of Valen tine I will seed.' . - Wilbur wgnt to his desk, and taking„, l out a sheet.of papediew-froul his port-•, monnaie a .ten,dollar , bill, wrappetl it in the import:Ai which he had previously written •ITE'r . ona St. Valentine,' and placed-the whole in an envelope. There, Said he, 'my Valentine has cost as much as yours, and I venture to say it will be as welcome.' You are right. I wish now I bad not bought this costly trifle. However, as it is purchased, I will send it.' The next day dawned clear and frosty. It was lively enough for those who sat by comfortable fires.and dined at luxu rious Jables, but for the poor who shared none of these advantages, it was indeed a bitter day. In an attic room, meanly furnished, sat a young girl, pale and thin. She was cowering over a scanty wood fire, the best she,could afford, which heated the room very insuOiciently. She was sew ing steadily, shivering from time to time, as the cold blast shook the window and found its way through the crevices. Poor child I Life had a very black aspect for her on that winter day. She was alone in the world. There was ab solutely no one on whom she could call for assistance, though she needed it sorely enough. The thought came to her more than once in her discomfort, is it worth while living any longer ?' but she recoiled from the sin of suicide.' She might starve to death, but she weuld not take the life that Qpii had given her. Plunged in gloomy thought, she con tinued to work. All, at ones a step was heard ascending the staircase which led to her room. Then there was a knock at the door. She arose in some surprise and opened it, thinking it must be the landlady or one of the servants. She was right. It was a servant. Ilere's a letter for you, that the poit boy just brought, Miss Morris,' 'A letter for me I' repeated 'Helen Morris, in surprise, taking it from the servant, ' who can have written to me l' • M Gybe it is a Valentine,- Miss,' _said the girl, laughing: 'You know this is, VaTe,si:Le",. E'L got two myself this morning. One's a kareketer, ( caricature) so mistress calls it. Just look at it.' Bridget displayed a highly embellish ed pictorial representation of a female hard at work at the wash tub, the cast of beauty being decidedly Hibernian. Helen Morris laughed absently, but did not open her letter while Bridget remained—a little to the disappoint- ment of that curious damsel. Mien slowly opened the envelope. A bank note for ten dollars dropped from it to the floor. She eagerly read the few words on the paper. From St. Valentine.' ' Heaven be praised 1' she said, fold ing her hands gratefully. This earn will enable me to carry out the plan which I had in view.' Eight years passed away. Eight years with their lights and shadows, their joss and sorrows. They brought wish them the merry voices of children, they brought with them new made graves ; happiness to some, and grief to others. . Towards the last they brought the great commercial crisis of 's7—when houses that seemed built upon a rock, tottered all at once to their fall. Do not many remember that fall too welt ; when merchants with anxious faces, rap from one to another to solicit help, and met only averted faces and distrustful looks? And how was it, in that time of universal panic, with our friends— Stacy & Wilbur. Up to 1857 they had been doing an excellent business. They had gradually enlarged their operations, and were rap idly growing rich, when the crash came. They immediately took in sail. Buth were prudent, and both felt that now was the'tiine whim OW quality was lir. gently needed. By great efforts they.-had succeeded in keeping up till the 14th of February, 1858. On that morning a note of two thousand dollars came due. This was their last peril. That surmounted, they would be able to go on with assured confidence. But this, alas I was the rock on which they had most'apprehension. They had taxed their' resources to the utmost. They had called upon their friends, but their friends were employed in taking care of themselves, and the selfish policy was the one required then, `Look out for number one,' supersed• ed the golden rule for.the time being. As I have said; trio: thottiand - dollars were due 'on the 1 the oEFettinaryo. • Row mueir t ilave yon gist_tbward it ?' asked Wilbur, as Stacyzarue in at half past eleven. Three hundred and seventy-five dol lars.' was the dispirited reply. " Was that all you could raise ?' in quired his partner, turning pale. 'Are you sure you thought of everybody ?' been everywhere. I'm fagged tá death,' was the weary reply of Stacy, as he sank exhausted into a chair. ' Then the crash must come,' said Wilbur, with gloomy resignation. 1 suppose it must.' There was a silence. Neither felt in clined to say anything. For six months they had boon struggling with the tide. They could see the shore,, but in, sight of it thoi'Must go down.' ' ' At this moment a note was brought in bya boy. There was ,no postmark, Evidently - he was a special messenger. It was opened at once by Mr. Wilbur to whom it was directed. 'lt contained these few words only : ' Mr. John Wilbur will 'Call imme diately-at No. Fifth Avenue, he will learn something to hisgieat advantage.' There was nplignature. John Wiltiur read it with surprise, and passed it to his partner. What do.es it mean, do you think?' I don't know,' was the reply, but I advise you to go at once. It seems to be in feminine handwrit ing,' said Wilbur, thoughtfully. , 'Yes. Don't you know any lady on Fifth Avenue. ' None.' Well, it is worth noticing. We have met with so little to•our advantage late . ly, that it will be a refreshing variety.' In five mintsl John;Wilbur jumped into a horse car, and was on his way to No. Fifth Avenue.

Ho did not' httva to - bait elegantly droised stfr,rtfq 'Chitty; remember me, Mr. Wilbur?' 'No, madam,' said he, in perplexity 'We will waive that, then, and pro ceed to business, How has your house borne the crisis in which so many of our large firms have , gone down ?' John Wilbur smiled bitterly. We have-struggled successfully until to-day,' he answered. But the end has come. Unless we can raise a certain sum of money by two o'clock, we are ruined.' What sum will save you?' was the lady's question • The note due is two thousand dollars. Towards this we have but three hundred and seventy-five." Excuse me a moment,' said the host ess. She left the room, but quickly re turned: There,' 'Aid she, handing a small strip of paper to John Wilbur, 'is my check for two thousand dollars. You can repay.it at - your - c?nvenience. If you should.require more, come to me again.' ' Madam, you - have saved us,' exclaim• ed Wilhur,,springing to his feet in de light. What can have inspired ih you such a benevolent interest in our pros perity ?' ' Do you.remember, Mr. Wilbur,' said the lady, ' a certain Valentine contain. ing a ten dollar note, which you sent to a young girl occupying an attic in your lodging house, eight years sv . el' do distinctly. I havirofteri 'Won dered what became of the young girl. I think her name was Helen MArria.' She stands before You,' waatheqr[diet response. +. You listen Morris I' exclaimed Wil bur, starting in amazement. ' You, sur rounded,with luxury P 'No wonder you are surprised. Life has strange contracts. The money which you sent me seemed to have come from God. I was on the brinfof des pair, and made application for the post of companion to a wealthy lady. I for tunately obtained it. I had been with her but two years when a- gentleman in her circle, immensely wealthy, offered me his band in marriage. I esteemed him. He was satisfied, and with that I married him. A year since- he died, leaving me this house and an immense fortune. I have never forgotton you, having accidentally - learned that my timely succor came from you. IresolVed if fortune ever put it in my power, I would befriend you as you befriended me. That time has come. I have paid the first instalment of my, debt, Helen E.ustace remembers., the obligations of Helen Morris.' John Wilbur advanced and respect fully took her hand. ' You have nobly repaid me,' he said. 'Will you also award me the privilege of occasionally calling upon you ?' I shall be most happy,' said Mrs. Eustace, cordially. John took a hurried leave, and return ed to his store as the clock struck one. He showed his delighted partner the check, which he had just received. 'I haven't tithe to explain,' he said; 'this must at once bo cashed.' Two o'clock came and the firm was saved—saved from their last peril. Henceforth they, met nothing ; but_ pros perous gales. What more.? Helen Eustace tins again changed.her name. She is now Helen Wilbur, 'and her husband now lives at No.-- Filth Avenue. And all this-came of ---a Valentine. e " Don't lay in that , posture, dear," said Mrs. Partington to her nephew, who was stretched upon a sofa, with bis heels ‘ ,a foot or two higher than his head: " Don't lay so ; raise yourself up and put this pillow under you. I knew a young man once who bad a suggestion of the brain in consequence of laying so —his brains all run into his head-!"' An oldxentleman from the coun try stopped at a first•class hotel in New York, and wrote home that his room, was six stories high, and his bill, was tilts° stories higher than his.roorn., IRV "Poor old ilaneral_Dability 1" exclaimed Mrs, Paitington f l q , it
