A “TOUZY” VVIG.-â€"Dr. Lindsay ap- peared in the Hall one day with his Wig somewhat “touzy” and to one side. A young student whispered to his neighbor, “ See. his wig is no redd the day.” The doctor heard, but took no notice of it at. the time; but when it came to the turn of the student to deliver a discourse, he was welcomed to the pulpit with those words front the professor, Come away, Mr. s , and we’ll now see who’s wig is best rcdd the day.” A curate having been overhauled by his bishop for attending a ball, the former re- plied. ‘ My Lord, I wore a mask.’ Oh, well,’ returned thebtshop ‘tbat puts a new. fan. 99. the this » ‘A campaigners hat for an know much of he.’â€" Drop the cousin But you, Fleu- itâ€"all ; hair falling from its hands, song as 00”“ fifld ("C-t 1'“ Warrant, every sweetly, as simply as it clict‘ubtm. 135‘ Year‘s 1163b l l l deadly wound which he was sure he had inflicted. Not a drop of blood nor a scar was to be seen. He knelt on the grass atil gave thanks to a gracious God. Having done so he took up his axe and found a' few hairs upon its edge. He turned to the log he had been splitting, and there was a single curl of his boy’s hair, sharply cut through and laid upon the wood. How great the escape! It was as if an angel had turned aside the edge at the moment it was descending on my head. With renewed thanks upon his lips he took up the curl, and went borne with me in his arms, ‘ This lock he kopt all his duos, as a memorial of God’s care and love. This he left to me on his death bed.’ TEETILâ€"DOH’I lcl your children’s teeth be drawn. At least let this be the rule.‘ Bad teeth come of bad health and bad food, and much sugar. 1 can't say I am a great advocate for the common people going in for toothbrushes. No; they are not necessary in full health. The heal- thy man’s teeth clean themselves, and so does his skin. A good 'dose of Gregory often puts away the toothache. It is a great thing, how- ever, to get them early stuffed, if they need it; that really keeps them and your temper whole. For ap- pearance sake merely, 1 hate false teeth, as I hate a wig. But this is not a matter to dogmatise about. I never was, 1 think, deceived by either falsc hair, false teeth, or false eyes, or false checks, for there are in the high-ml don’t call it the greatâ€"world plumpers for making the cheeks round, as well as a certain dust for making them bloom, But you and i don’t enjoy such advantagedâ€"DP. J. Brown, in ‘ Good Words.’ VVontAn’s CAtins.-â€"‘A woman has cares and pains which the heart of man can never know. When a man sins he is called a fool and he’s laughed at, and it all passes over in a week: but the woman who has listened to that man’s lies, and who has believed his sweet promises and who has gone to his treacherous arms is hissed and spitted at, and shunned by all. She must sorrow and starve and bear their harsh Words all her life. And sometimes worse things happen, Lukeâ€"«ah ! even in such spotstis these, for far from towns where they say the bad men dwell. Soriictimes there’s murder done, Luke. Sometimes the mother hates that for which most mothers would freely die, and kills it, hark ycl. kills it out of her wav.’ These words were pronounced in a hoarse whis- per, and her eyes glared fitfully round. They both rose shuddering.

Illustration’of an Old Proverbâ€"Dr. Dick used to tell that he entered Dr. Lindsay’s library, one morning, and found him with a broken pipe in hand. ‘It is a common remark,’ he said, smiling, ‘thal.’ calamities seldom come single; and I have had a proof of that, this morning. Some: time ago, I broke a pipe, and now, you see, I have broken another.’ ~ "Mega-w rams-:25.
