Tnerp h little, doubt that if the people of Bald's Ferry hail been asked to decide which was th most pious family in their midst, they would unanimously have nam ed the Dem nings. They had ion*; ago been the nucleus about which the Presbyterian church had gath ered. X >w 'Squire Demming’s pew faced that of the pastor, and no mat ter how stormy the weather. then was his venerible white hea l in it- place, and Mother Demming’s plac id old face be«ide it. Grace and Isabella, the unm irried sisters, and Joe, Ailed the pew. Young Mr. Floyd (who was radical in hi- views), or any visiting clergyman might pr -ach what they chose, tie DeminingS listened with the satn calm, devout pleasure. It never or curred to them to dispute any opin ion promulgatetf by a minister of the Church, ft was “all good,” like the Bible. There was no roo n foi choice in either. The 'Squire would be just as likely to read a chapter in Numbers to a penitent sinner as one in St. John. The effect on his own mind was very much the same. Both had the soothing effect, of a repeated charm, which set him safely apart from other men. You would always And on the Demining's centre-table all the pa pers and magazines published h> the denomination. Their house wnt the head-quarters for clergymen ahd colporteurs. The girls could tell you at a moment’s notice where •sych and such a minister is now. how long Dr. D., of St. Louis, had stayed in Europe, and how much money had been given to dear Mr. d; by his flock in Chicago, to visit the Holy Land. They were exceed ingly fond, too, of religions poems, and could repeat whole pages of' Henry Kirk White and Miss Hav- crgal. They took an eager interest in all foreign missionary work; thi story of these heroic men in Afri can jungles, or Indian bungalows, had all the dramatic power of a novel tor them. Grace declared that she had a positive affection for that lovely Miss W., who was at work in Ceylon, and considered young Mr. S., who was in Hone Kong, one of the apostolic type of Christians, although she had never seen either of them. Isabella took more interest in the ascetic doc trines coming into notice. She pro fessed a delight in symbolism, A He her room with religious emblems and pictures, wore black on Good Friday and lilies on Easter, and fasted as rigorously as an Episcopa tion. Every week she noted down in herdiary the changes in her spir itual condition. The whole fa ini lx ,.\yere Auent in tile use of theologi cal terms, and talked garrulously ot the doctrines of their denomination; indeed, works of controversy on : this subject Ailed their book shelves. This familiarity with the outer garments of religion made them ap pear devout in the eyes of others and in their own. They were a we!: to do family, and hence had fell none of the temptations of poverty. They were naturally gentle, unpre tending, amiable folks, and hence, were not likely to yield to th< temptations of wealth. Their pleas ant, mild harmlessness, which was in fact due to temperament, was set down by friends as the effects ol piety. Life to the Deminings was like a long summer day until Joe brought his*wife home. None of the family had ever seen her. They knew sht was one of the Anstruthers of Ken tucky. “There are. Anstruthers in tin Presbyterian Church,” said Grace “I hope Mary belongs to our mem bership.” “Oh, yes, certainly,” said Joe, e« geriy. He was just starting to lx married, and he was very anxious thsirthey should love Polly in ad vance. “Does she sing in the choir?” asked Isabella. “I think not. But she has one ol the swe test voices—alow contral to. And you ought to hear hei -laugh. Belle! The merriest ring— oh, she’ll bring new life into tir? • ! ou, ifir.* cirl-smil 'd They were fo of j v, and ready to welcome hi- wife. “But I hope she is ready to tak» a leading place in the church,” saic Grace, after he had gone. “Joe wil .some day All father’s place, and hi- description of herdoesnot give nii the idea of an energetically relig ious woman.” “Well, hope for the best,” said Is abella. She was very busy making an imitation stained glass windnv for the Sabhath school room, am was anxious to finish it befon Mary arrived. “Uncle Ben must be kept in hie own room whan she cornea, and Tom be sent to the country for r month’s visit,” Grace said, her deli cate cheek flushing painfully. For there were two skeletons in the Demining household. The ’Squire’s brother Ben, who was a paralytic old soldier and a most cross-grained, profane old fellow, occupied a wing of the mansion. He had a man to nurse and read tr him, for his oaths were intolerable to his nieces. Tom was their broth er, younger than Joe. Tom Dem ining had disappeared for three years after he lett college,’ and came back a haggard, dissipated fellow. Nobody in Ball’s Ferry knew what he had done in. that gap if tim», but it was certain that he vas under ban—a marked man. The family treated him with gloomy patience. They had taken ip their cross and borne it; but it vus heavy, and he knew that thej >und it heavy. Tom was nevet ^een by visitors at the table, or in lie parlor. At dark he would skull- mtto join some of his comrades a' he village grog-shops, and occas- ■nally, tiut not often, was broughi ome brutal y intoxicated. that day, and a dull weight of mis- to me to be a religious person.” ery fell on his father’s heart at thc*( “Perhaps,” said the ’Squire, HUXOBOUS. Joe’s wife ■Bsnppntiited them ail. She was a plump, merry little girl, nothing more. “A vary pleasant little heathen!” sighed Grace, after two days had passed. “T named some of the best books of religious Action and she had nev- •r heard of them;and she did not mow of a single one of our foreign missions.” Good Mrs. Demraings was uneasy •it this, and that evening turned the c mversation on doctrinal subjects, i’olly grew red. “I am afraid,” she said, “I am not clear in my ideas concerning those liflicult points. The truth is, after mother’s death, I had the charge of my four brothers,and I had so little time.” “You will have moie time now,” said Isabella. “I will mark out a course of doctrinal reading tor you.” But Mary made slow progress with the course of reading. As time massed and she settled down into hei place in the household, she prov- to be a very busy little woman. She had a positive talent for Anding work; took her share of the family mending, tossed up dainty little lesserts, and helped Joe with his oAice; she took tremendous walks, advised Mothi r Demining aboul her fancy work, or copied the Squired papers for him. “What aclerkly hand you write!” said Grace one day. “I often wish mine were not so delicate, when fa ther worries over those papers. Bui as for mother’s embroidery, wornei if her age ought to give up that use less work when their eyes, are fail ing.” “It does not seem useless to me,’ -aid Polly gently. “She thinks yoi ill value it.« “Where can Mary go on those in lerminable walks?” said Isabel!; one morning to her father. “Yoi should warn her about Black Lane She might wander into it and brin; home typhoid fever.” “You ought to report that lane a a nuis nee, father,” said his wifi “It’s a perfect sink of filth and o vice." “It is a disgrace to Ball’s Ferr.' lhat such wretches can And harbo: in it!” add d Isabella. “They ough to be driven beyond the borougi limits!” “Weil, well, my dear! It doesn' do to be too energetic,” said th< ’Squire. “They are poor negroe that live there, and must have : chance.” He was roused, however, to men tion Black Lane at a meeting of thi town burgesses that day. “Something must be done, or w< will have typhus among us,” hi said. “Something has been done,” saic Judge Paule. “I came through th« lane this morning, and hardly knew it. There has been a general drain ing and cleaning, the dung hills arc rone, the cabins are whitewashed the women—some of them—had ictually washed their faces.” “What has happened ?” asked th' ’Squire. “I heard the sound of childrens voices singing in one ot the cabins, and the men told me it was ‘Miss Mary’s class.’ Some good womai, has been at work, I suspect.” “Miss Mary ?” The ’Squire’s face rrew red, his eyes flashed, but he ■aid nothing more. Going home he met Polly coming meet tym. He looked at her with the eyes of a judge. “Are you -the good Samaritan ? Have you oeen in Black Lane, my dear ?" Sh blushed, laughed, and stam- nered:“Oh, that was the most nat ural thing in the world, father. You know I was brought up among col •red people. I know how to man- ige them. It was only a ditch dug •ere and there, a few pf nes of glass tnd bushels of lime. They are good ffectionate creatures, and (o anx- ous to learn.” The matter, was driven out of the jquire’s mind before he reached the louse, for he saw Tom skulking round the stable- He bud returned sight. Tom did not enter the house until late in the evening, when the family were gathered about the lamp. He came into the room with a swagger, unshaven, his boots reeking of the stable. “On purpose to mortify us,” thought Grace, bit terly. “I came to see Joe’s fine lady wife,” he said, in a loud voice. “Un less he’s ashamed to introduce his scrapegrace brother.” “Mary is not here,” Demining. “Where is she, Grace?' “In Uncle Ben’s room. She reads the New Yoi k papers to him every day, now. They play backgammon together, and they have one of those silly books ol Artemus Ward’s. I heard him laughing, swearing hard er than ever, so he must be pleased, i wonder she can stand it. “It is hard to understand her,” said Isabella dryly. “Mary is not is careful of her associations as she should be.” Torn had been listening eagerly “Enough said,” he broke out, with i thump of his flst on the tabfe. “If Toe’s wife can lake thought of that ;ouely fellow up there, there’s bet ter stuff in her than I expected. I’ll 'o up and make her acquaintance.” For several days afterwards Tom’s voice was heard joining in the jokes and laughter that came out of Un cle Ben’s room. “Mary seems to have enchanted them both,” said Grace, “Tom is have not clearly understood what A chasm tiiat often separates- religion is. We took too much for sarcasm, granted. We should wake up and The killed burglar may not b look into the truth of the matter.” —Congregational ist. The Teeth of .the Ntioi. There are about 17,000 dentists ih the United States, and they pack in to the teeth American people, says the Cleveland Herald, a ton of said Mother pure gold every year. About flve times that weight of less' precious metal, such as silver, platinum and tin, goes the same way. It Is es timated that this amount Of metal is worth $1,000,000. and that if the present dental methods are kept up, all the coin in the United States will have been buried in the grave yards, by the time the twenty-first century rolls around. It is said that the de and for gold in dentistry is rapidly growing every year. This is accounted for in part by the fact that many peo ple with false teenth insist upon having them failed so that they may seem all the more natural. There are about 4,000,000 false teeth manufactured in this country ev ery year. The business of dentis try i3 not what it used to be, how ever, and prices have come down wonderfully since the days when the leading operators could afford to retire after a practice of eight n r nine years. Still, there seems plen- vlean and shav“n to-day, and looks ' ty of work to be done in the future, like a human being.” J seeing that the decay of teeth is in creasing. Two hundred years ago but one person in five had sound .teeth. A hundred years ago, but one person in twenty-five had perfect teeth; and in this nineteenth-century age of reform, our very latest statistics show that but one person in eighty has perfectly sound teeth. “Perhaps she treats him like a human being,” said Joe. But even he was startled when Mary came down that evening lressed for a walk; and nodding brightly to Tom, asked him to go with her. “Fini-h your book, Joe. Brother Tom will be my escort.” Tom followed her .slouchingly to the gate. He stopped there, ihame, defiance, misery looked out if his eyes. “See here, Mrs. Dem- ming! I reckon you dont know who I am, or you wouldn’t have isked me to go with you.” Polly’s tender, steady eyes met bis. “Yes, 1 know.” “D’ye know I’m a thief? I was in jail in Pittsburgh for a year.” Polly drew her breath hard. A prayer to God for help went up from her heart in that second of time. She held out both her hands. “Yes, Joe told me. But that is ail over now—all over. You have be gun new again, Brother Tom Come 1 ” ~ She put her hand in his arm as they w iked down the street. He did not speak to her until they came back. Then he stopped her again at the gate. “My sisters never have been seen with me in public since [ came back. I’ll never forget this ..if you Mary, never!” A month later the ’Squire said to nii- wife, “Did you know Mary was going over his mathematics with I’om ? Regularly coaching him. Chat little girl has the clearest head fir figures I ever knew. But what •an be her object ?” Mrs.Demining cleared her voice before she could speak. “ jhe has ipplied to some friends of hers in Keniucky to give Tom a situation. Father, I think there may be »• ihance for the boy. He wants to oegin his life all over again among strangers.” “God help him,” muttered the ’Squire. He surprised Polly when he met her the next time by taking her in his arms and kissing her with the tears in his eyes. In the spring Tom went to Ken tucky and began his new life. He has not broken down in it yet. It was in the spring, too, that Uncle Ben began to fail. The-old man was so fond of Polly that she gave up most of her time to him ; so much of it, indeed, that Joe complained. “Don’t says a word, dear,” she said, “he has such a little while to stay. Let me do what I can.” “I say, Polly, was that the Bible you were reading to him to-day.” “Yes. He asks for it often.” Joe began to whistle and choked down into a sigh. Uncle Ben had been such a godless reprobate in his youth that it never had occurred to any of the Demmings that there was a way to reach his soul. He lived until late in the summer. The Sabhath before his death he sent for Mr. Floyd and talked to him for a long time. When the young minister jarae out of the dying man’s room, he was pale. He had been much moved. “I propose that we receive him to the church to-morrow and cele- Relatire Age of Animals. The average age of cats is fifteen years;of squirrels and hares, seven to eight years; a bear rarely ex ceeds twenty years; a wolf twenty; a fox fourteen or fifteen; Pons are long lived, the one known by the name of Pompey living to the age of seventy Elephants have been known to live to the age of 400 years. When Alexander the Great had conquered Porus, King of In dia, he took a great Elephant which he named Ajax, dedicated him to the* sun, and let him go with this inscription: “Alexander, the son of Jupiter, dedicated Ajax to the sun." The elepant was found with this inscription, 330 years after Pigs have been known to live to the age of twenty, and the rhinoceros, to theage of twenty-nine; a horse has been known to live to the age six ty4wo, but the average is twenty- five or thirty; camels sometimes live to the age of 100; stags are very long lived; sheep seldom exceed ten; cows live about fifteen years. Cuvier considers it probable that whales sometimes live 1,000 years. The dolphin and porpoise attain the age of thirty; an eagle died at Vienna at the age of 104; ravens have frequently reached the age of 100; swans have been known to live to the age of 300. Mr. Maler- ton has the skeleton of a swan that attained the age of 200 years. Pel icans are long lived. A tortoise has been known to live to the age of 107 years. HABIT. There was once a horse that used to pull around" a sweep which lifted dirt from the depths of the earth. He was kept at the business for nearly twenty years until he be came old, blind, and too stiff in the joints to be of further use. So he was turned into a pasture, or left to crop the grass without any one to disturb or bother him. But the fanny thing about theold horse, was that every morning after grazing awhile, he would start on a tramp, going round and round in a circle, just as he had been accustomed to do for so many years. He would keep it up for hours, and people often stopped to look and wonder what had got into the head of the venerable animal to make him walk around in such a solemn way wheD there was no earthly need of it It was the force of habit. And the boy who forms bad or good habits in his youth, will be led by them when he becomes old, and will be miserable or happy ac cordingly. wealthy,- but h’e tak-js things easy.

May be all cats do, and that is the music that we hear from the back fences, instead of b3 ing the out pouring of joyfui cat hearts, is the wail of the unrequited cucumbei down in the deep recesses of the cat. Come to think of it, it looks resonable. A little school-girl asked her teacher what was meant by “Mrs. GruDdy.” The teacher replied*that it meant “(he world.” Some days afterwards the teacher asked thi geography class, to which this little bad of promise belonged: “What is a zone?” After some hesitation this girl brightened up and replied: “I know! it’s a belt around Mrs. Grundy’s waist!” “Father." asked Willie, pointing at the phrase “double entendre,” “what does that mean ?” “Why, my son,” replied the parent, happy to exhibit his knowledge to th< family “that’s a kind of gunboat which sails both ways; they have two bows, you know, that’s why they ere called double-enders.” ■ “That man is a phrenologist, Pat.” “A phat?” asked Pat, puzzled. “A phrenologist.” “Phat’s that?” “Why, a man that can tell, by feel ing of the bumps of your head, what kind of a man you are.” ‘Bumps on iny head, is it?” ex claimed Pat. “Begorra, then, 1 ‘should give him more of an idea phat kind of a woman my wif<- is.” — “You make me think,” John Wil liams said, dropping upon a sofa beside a pretty gill one Sunday- evening, “of a bank whereon the wild thyme grows.” “Do I ?” she murmured; “it is so nice, but that is pa’s -tep in the hall, and unless you can drop out of the front win dow b* fore I cease speaking, you'll have a little wild time with him. my own, for he loves you not.” Hie descent was rapid.
