rr The i,„ Muse of Heinrich Heme.
When the exhibition of the works of
the painter Maguas took place at Berlin
a great numberof admirers crowded be
fore a beautiful portrait of a woman. A
blue velvet dress surrounded her figure,
while transparent sleeves only half coy
ered a marble-like arm. A golden chain,
passing through the forehead smooth hair, was
fastened ou the by a jewel,
forming an old-fashioned but pretty or-
1 ,ament This was called formerly ‘‘Re*
gardez jnoi.” Tlie graceful head the
small ears, dark hair and softly-rounded
cheeks, formed a charm which cannot be
described, and which could only bo
painted bv such a skillful hand as that
of Maguas.
“Who is that beautiful w T oinau?”
asked all the people present. “Fred
enke Robert, was the answer winch an
old gray-haired man gave. She was the
muse of Heinrich Heine, whom lie once
wanted to carry to ihe banks of the
Ganges “on the wings of songs.” He
dedicated to'her that beautiful poem, he
called her his “idol,” or the cousin of
Venus of Milo, and be sang about her
“sweet face.” She was also sung by
several other German poets, Fouqne,
Chamisso, Karl, Schall, Holtei, etc. She
was admired by W. Bensel, the famous
“albumist,” as he used to style himself,
because he would carry bis albnin every
where, in every society, and make
sketches of the famous people. The
FicJo-kba
she composed verses m the
Swabian dialect, but printed nothing,
She was sister-in-law to the famous au
thoress, Rachel Vamhagen, to whom
she was much attached.

The British Medical Journal asserts
that the local effect of tobacco on the
mucous membrane of tho nose, throat,
diseases and ears is is as inefficient predisposing to catarrhal
as and insufficient
clothing in tlie case of women—the fact
being that such effect oil the mucous
membrane of the superior portion of the
respiratory relaxation tract and causes a more perma¬
nent congestion than any
other known agent. Therefore, as to¬
bacco depresses the system while it is
producing its pleasurable sensation, and
as it prepares the mucous membrane to
take on catarrhal inflammation from even
slight it exposure should to cold, the Journal
thinks require no further evi¬
dence to show that its use ought to be
discontinued by every catarrhal patient.

Of Mr. Longfellow’s method when
Professor of Modern Literature at Har¬
vard, Dr. Edward E. Hale, one of his
pupils, has given tiii 3 account; “As it
happened, the regular recitation rooms
of the college were all in use, and we
met him in a sort of parlor, carpeted,
hung with pictures, and otherwise hand¬
somely furnished, which was, I believe,
called the “corporation room.” We sat
round a mahogany table, which was re¬
ported to be meant for the dinners of the
trustees, and the whole affair had the as¬
pect of a friendly gathering in a private
house, in wliicli the study of German
was the amusement of the occasion. He
began with familiar ballads, read them
to us, and made us read them to him.
Of course we soon committed them to
memory without meaning to, and I
thiuk this was probably part of his
theory. At the same time we were
learning the paradigms by rote. His
regular duty was the oversight of five or
more instructors who were teaching
French, German, Italian, Spanish hundred and
Portuguese to two or tliree un¬
der-graduates. We never knew when he
might look in on a recitation aud vir¬
tually conduct it. We were delighted to
have Mm come. We all knew he was a
poet, and were proud to have liim in the
college, but at the same time we re¬
spected him as a man of affairs. ’

A Georgia Dog Pith the Toothache.
Whoever heard of a dog with the
toothache ? Well, Augusta can boast of
the novelty. The poor old fellow has
been bowling for & week witb neuralgia
of the jaw. and when his master, who is
a thoughtful and considerate surgeon as of
well as an artist, discovered the cause
the canine’s grief, he set to work to ex¬
tract a whole row of decayed teetn m
the dog’s mouth. Now, this may seem
absurd to some very ignorant people,
but it is all true, and the poor dog held
his month open and sat perfectly quiet
white the teeth were being drawn. And
vet some people think a dog has no
sense or appreciation. —A ugusta Newt,
