WHY DO NOT OUK TEETH LAST 01 R
LIFETIME!
That they are made perfect, if the right
materials are furnished, there cannot be a
doubt.
But are the necessary elements famished to
children a they are to the yonngof otherani
mals ? And do we oot subject our teeth to
deleterious influence from which animals that
obey their natural instinct are exempt.
The 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 ele
ments in their natural proportions.
But when can the child in its forming state
get these necessary elements, whose mother
lives principally on starch, and butter, and
sugar, neither of which contains a particle af
lime, phosphorus, potash, or silex? Nature
performs no miracles. She makes teeth as
glass is made, by combining the elements
which compose them according to her own
chemical principles. And this illustration is
|he more forcible because the composition of
the enamel of the teeth and of glass is very
nearly identical ; both, at least, requiring
the combination of silex with gome al taline
principle.
If, then, the mother of an unborn or nurs
ing infant lives on white bread and butter,
pastry and confectionary, which contain no
silex, and very little of the other elements
which compose the teeth, nothing short of a
miracle can give her a child with good teeth,
and especially with teeth well enamelled.
But what articles of food will make good
teeth ? Good milk will make good teeth, for
it makes them for calves. Good meat will
make good teeth, for it makes them for lions
and wolvas. Good vegetables and frmts will
make good teeth, for it makes them for mon
keys.
Good com, oats, barley, wheat, rye and
indeed, everything that grows, will make
good teeth, if eaten in their natural state, no
elements being taken out: for every one o ;
them does make teeth for horses, cows, sheep,
or some other animal. But starch, sugar,
lard, or butter will not make good teeth.
You tried them all with your child s first
teeth, and failed; and your neighbors have
tried them, and indeed all Christendom has
tried bem, and the result is that a mau or
woman at forty with good, sound teeth is a
very rare exception.—Dr. A. J . Bellows.
FLOWERS IN FARMERS' GARDENS.
Who is there that does not love flowers, and
who among all classes have more need of the
beautiful in nature and art than the laboring
man ? Surround a man exhausted by bard
labor with the beautiful and he will almost
forget his exhaustion, if he has a spark of taste
tor the beautiful in bitn.
Our suburban towns and rural places, where
labor has held undisputed sway for so long a
time, are annually becoming more :• (tractive
by the introduction of educated taste, in sur
rounding the dwellings, 4c., with the orna
mental as weil as the useful.
The love and culture of flowers has a refin
ing tendency: the mind and the heart are
made tbe better in such pursuits. The care
and cultivation of tt-rn elevate and purify the
mind. Children are often inspired with cheer
ful views of life, and in their care their man'
ners are softened, and they become attached
to their homes and rural pursuits.
Wherever we sea flowers cultivated we find
a greater degree ot intelligence and refine
ment ; children, as well as grown persons, are
more respectful and orderly, so much so that
a traveler will have his attention called to it
in merely passing along. He will see ail
about the buildings and premises indications
of taste, neatness and order; an air of thrift,
comfort and good farm ..g will also be ob
served.
The wide-spread and deeper love and culti
vation of flowers will give a happy and ruore
enduring love ol home, end affect ti c < harac
ter of our homes as v eil as our farms. In
stead of seeing our door yatd, wiih poor bro
ken-down gates and rickety fences, where
cattle, pigs, gee , 4c., are at hnn.e, we shall
see handsome enclosures well filled or orna
mented wiih fruits and flowers; these will
not only please the eye of the inmates and
passers, but give an increased money value to
tbe place.
The employment and culture of the garden,
and the beautiful, is peculiarly adapted to
bring back the strength and equanimity of the
invalid body or mind, and wean from sorrows
occasioned by bereavemnet of friends. Th
care of flowers will oiten. by diverting the
mind, perform cures that no medicine of the
apothecary can heal.
Few dwellings are there where flowers or
climbers cannot be cultivated, and thereby
add to, if not entirely change, the appearauce
and whole aspect of the houie.
It is not my purpose to give an entire list tS
plants suitable for the farmer's garden and
yard, but if anything I may advance will in
duce even one to commence or increase their
culture, or even eucourag the wavering, my
object will be accomplished.
The good judgment and tasie of all wid
lead to the adoption of suitable ornamental
shrubs, climbers, flowers, <tc. Among the
more commou and hardy climbers we find the
Scarlet Trumpet Honeysuckle, the Yeilow
Trumpet Monthly, and the Evergreen Month,
ly Honeysuckle; there are also a variety of
climbing roses, such as the Michigan, the
Baltimore Belle, Ac.; the last has large
clusters of pale, almost white, double flowers,
with a waxy blush. The Virginia Creeper or
American Woodbine is a very beautiful and
ornamental climber. The leaves in the
autumn assume a rich and gorgeous tint, and
it is the most ornamental and showy plant Of
its genus.
In order that the gardeu should retain its
beauty and attractiveness throughout the
scasou, there should be u succession of flow
ers from the time the stiow leaves the ground
in spring till (all frosts destroy vegetation:
and a judicious selection, even if only few in
numbers, will give a pleasing variety and
effect. Bulbous flowers for earliest, such as
snowdrops, crocuses, 4c.; bloodroot and
violets soon follow, and other herbaceous
perennials and annuals for successors, with
later blooming bulbous plants, annuals, Ac., j
for late summer and fall flowers.
The cultivator will be at no loss what kinds
to select to secure a constant succession; if
he is, let him address some one of the many
florists who issue descriptive catalogues with
directions for culture, who advertise in
bis agricultural paper, and procure their cata
logue, which will be found to be worth to
him many times the price.— Germantown
Telegraph.
CABBAGE PLANTS should be set out as soon
as spring fairly begins. Make a hole in the
ground with a pointed stick, pour in liquid
manure, then put in tie plant, and press the
ground close around it. Treated in this way,
cabbage plants never fail to grow.
Thx Military authorities in Canada have
introduced the earth closet system at (be bar
racks and invite farmers to purcbese the re
frar for fertilizing purposes.

HEAVY THUNDER. —We have seen the fol.
lowing in print before but as there is some
change it will bear telling over again:
A family in La Crosse. Wisconsin have
been missiDg stove-wood for several weeks
past. On the return of one of the members
of the family, a few days since, the case was
stated, and Sunday uigbt a very pretty stick
of fuel was left with others on the wood-pile.
In the stick were two ounces of powder, for
*afe keeping. Monday the stick was there:
Tuesday the stick was there, and the laugh
was getting on the man who fixed it. k\ ed
nesday morning the stick was gone. Wed
nesday forenoon an explosion was heard in a
house neat by, and a kitchen window was
spared no panes ! On goiug to the spot, a
sight might have been seen. Tbe stove had
[ joiued a piece conference. A kettle of pork
and cabbage shot up through the roof like an
arrow. A dish of apples, stewing on the
stove, gave the ceiling the appearance of a
map ol California. A cat, sleeping under the
stove, went through tbe broken window, as
though after the devil or a doctor. The cat
has not been heard from since, but a smell ol
burnt cat hair pervades the house very thor
oughly ! A flat-iron was hoisted into a pan
of dough, a chair lost three legs, the wood
box looks sick, while the roof of tbe house
looks like a busted apple-dumpling. Ibe oc
cupant of the ruins says, "Such dunder never
conies before, or he buys a liyhltniu' rod by
turn.
THE New-Orleans pel - e relate an incident,
recently occuring in the city, which discloses
a very adventurous disposition on the part of
acertaiu burgler. It appears that he had en
tered a house in which a couple of young la
dies resided. In his search after plunder, he
visited their apartment. Seeing the disorder
in which sometimes the rooms of young ladies
are left, an idea occurred to him to examine
and then try on the loose apparel scattered
about. The boops, with their tnany tangled
bars, were first adjusted to his person. Then
he donned the overskirt, and over this he put
the dress. Next he found a bonnet, and, after
carefully adjusting the veil, looked the beau
ideal of a young lady incognito. But his rash
nes did not end here. The beatiful faces
lying on the pillow were irresistibly tempting
to the bold intruder. He must have a kiss,
even if it led to detection. The ripe, full lips
were smiling, and the yellow bair lay like floss
of gold on the pillow. The burglar had good
taste. A moment hesitating, bis discretion
flew away, and his impure lips pressed those
of the sleeping beauty. A faint scream, and
the lady started up in bed.
"Who are you, ma'am ?"
'"Only your aunt, my dear : don't you know
your aunt?" was the reply from behind the
veil.
'•What! not aunt B 1"
"Yes, indeed!"
"Oh, I'm so glad !" and the white arms
were thrown around the neck of the impostor,
and passionate kisses rained ou the face ct
the pretended relative.
"Now lay right down, my dear, and go to
sleep. I'll see you again in the morning.''
And with this benevolent injunction the
"auut" hastily left the room.
The next morning the young lady's dress
was found in the ball below, and, although
she searched every room, no aunt was to be
fonnd.

THE GREX DESIDERX Tl if of the A <-E
A dressing which is at once agreeable, heathy,
■ - .v. TT.tr. Faded or
gray hair it toon rettored to it t original color and
the glott and frethnett of youth. Thin hair is
thickened, falliDg hair checked, and baldness of
ten, though not always, cured Dy its use. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the fallicies are
destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by
this application. Instead of iouling the hair
with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean
vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent thehair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which make some preparations dan
gerous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not bann it. If wanted mere
for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dve, it does not soil white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, givin
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
