American Cyclopaedia was completed in 1883, since which time ihe wide circulation it “Timothy?” said Mary Sbermer, decidedly, “if you don’t behave your self I’ll—” What she would do, Mary did not aav; the sentence was terminated ’ by a laugh that set. the dimples round her month in motiou, just as a beam of June sunshine plays across, a clus ter of red ripe cherries. Mnry Shermer was just seventeen— a plump, rosy girl, with jet hair brush ed back; from a low forehead, aud perfectly arched eye-brows, that gave u bewilcliihg expression of surprise to a pair of melting hazel eyes. She was rather dark; bat the severe critic would not have found fault with the pencil-like bloom upcjn her cheeks and the dewy red upon her full, daintily curved Jips. Evidently Mr Timothy Marshall was quite satisfied with Ma ry’s style Of beauty. “Come, Mary.” said Tim, moving his chair where he could watch the flush of the-firelight upon her-face, and picked np the thread of the con versation where he' had dropped it when it hud become necessary for Ma ry to bid him “behave himself—“yon might promise. It’s nine o’clock: and your father will soon be home.” “What, Tim?” said Mary demur, ly, fitting a sqnare red in her patchwork very well. “Promise tp marry me before Christ mas!

She may know, if she vrill, ho» by the observance of hygienic laws to prevent disease, and how to core it in' its earliest stages witbont. medicine; how to pass from Winter, to Spring without getting the Spring fever: how to get through the heated term and escape fevers, and b : >wel complaints; ■liow to pass 12am- Autumn to Spring and not suffer any serious inconve nience. from coughs and colds.
