AN AroLOGUE uR APPLE-LOGE Two iiep planted out each one hundriA apple trees. In six or seveu years they began to bear. One tiad spared an pains to bring is orchard into the highe t-co6i dition- He had continually cultivated the soil about them, scraped olf the rough bark, washed them, picked oli every worm and nursed them as it they had been children. I'he utner, pursuing a cheaper plan, simply let his trees alone; but the moss, and canker Aoi is look :jis place and attended to them every year. % Vien tile orchards began to bear- tie caielul mnu had the best iruit, and the careless man cove.ted his fully y cursing the nursery man for selling him poor trees. In a year or too the carelul man had two bushels to'the other's one front each tree. Nol to be out done, the latter determined to havo as many apples as the foriner, and set out another hundred trees. By and bye, when they bore, the other had so improved that at produced twice as miany yet, another hudred rrees were therelore .platnted. in process of' time the first orchard at hundred trees still sent more Iruit to market thani the three hun dred trees of the careless man, who now gave up and declared that t:e never did have luck, and it was no use to try on his soil to raise good fruit. 1.

A young woman, with a little paIns, can have three times as lutany clothes as she needs, and then not look so well as an humble neighbor, who has not half her wardrobe; wherefore we close wittb some proverbs made for the occasion : Active lttle is better than lazy much.

Destructive Teeth and Oje Bitea& -Mrs. L. Maria Child, the celebrated at thoress, gives the following directions for the preservatiou of defective teeth and 'o fensive breaLh: Nobody need havettn offensive breath. A careful removal of substances frow be. tween the teeth, rinsing the mouth after meals, and bit of charcoal hold in the mouth, will always cure L bad'br~eath. A lump of charcoal held ib the mnouth, two or three times a week,' and- slowly chewed, has a wonderful power to pre serve the teeth and purify the breath. The action is purely chemical. It coun teracts the acid arising from a disordered stomach, ;r food decaying about the gums; and it is this acid which destroys the teeth. A dear friecd of ours had, when about twenty years of age, a front tooth that turned black gradually, crumbled, and so broke 'off piece meal. By frequently chewlbg charcoal, the progress of decay was not only at rested, but nature sel vig orously to work to-rectore the breach, and the crumbled portion grew again, till the whola tooth was as sound as belra! This I know.to be a fact. Every body knows that charcoal is 'an antiputrescent, and is used in boxing up anianal ur vegetabie soubstances, to keep them from decuy Upon the same chem ical principle. it tends to preserve the teeth and sweeten the breath. Th'lere is no danger in swallowing it: on thr contrary. small quantities havo a iealiblut effect on the inward sygem, particularly when the body is suffering from tat class of cor.plaints peculiarly incident to summer. It would not be wise to swallow it, or or any gritty sub stance in large (uaunties. or .very 're quehtly ; but once or twice a week a little would be salutary ratner than otherwise. A bit of charcoal as big as a cherry, merely held in the mouth a few hours without chewing. has a good effect. At first, most people dilike to chew it, but uso soon renders it far from disagreeable. Those who are troubled with an offensive breath might chew it very ofien, and swallow it but seldom. It is peculiarly imporiant to clean and rinse the mouth. .1'iroughly before going to bed, otherwise. form auring n11glt if these hints induad 'tily'-ne "pidadih to take better care of the teeth, I shall be wore inan rewarded for 'the trouble of ruting. I em contibually pained to sea young people loosing their teeth merely for want of a few simple precautious; and one cannot enter a stage or steam car without finding the atmosphere polluted and rendered absolutely unhealthy for the lungs t- breath., when a proper use of water and charcoal might render it as wholesome and pleasant as at breeze of Edeu.
