clear and audible delivery of speech—the cause of
and gradual digestion—necessary to our bealth,—and last,
not least, one of the most prominent and striking features
in the beauty of the human countenance; for no matter
whom, be the figure ever so graceful, the body all sym-
metry, the cheeks tinted like the rose, the eyes sparkling
with intellectual lustre, the hair in locks of gold or raven
black ringlets on the alabaster neck of female beauty—if

111 this exist, and the mouth be wanting its pearly row of
teeth, we shrink with repugnance, and pity the being
whom a few moments before we were gazing on with de-
light. And vet, convinced and aware of the absolute ne-
cessity of those indispensable auxiliaries, is not the un-
pardonable neglect surprising of which so many individuals
of both sexes are guiltyln regard 'to this most important
and beautifully constructed organ ; particularly when all
have it greatly in their own power, with a little attention
and care, to have, if not beautiful, at least clean and some-
egular teeth, thus avoiding disease and a train
t attendant consequences ? Scarcely is there

a hotise containing a number of inmates where either ne-
glect, immoderate use of animal food, or frequent resort
to quack medicines, most of them containing great abun-

all, despoliation in the mouth, gums, or teeth; fetid
breath, or spungy gums, which, when touched, begin to
bleed, if not to emit matter ; the teeth loose in their
sockets, loaded with offensive concretions of tartar, and if
not totally lost, most of them decayed, showing their sooty

or coal-black rottenness every time the mouth is opened.
What an unpardonable neglect ? Individuals, perhaps in
every other respect cleanly in their persons, to be thus
careless in their mouths. Yet all this may be remedied,
and properly put right again, by applying to a skilful den-
tist, who will in a short time give ease and comfort to the
sufferer.—De Lotide on the Teeth. (See advertisement)
RAZORS AND RAZOR STROPS.—It is one of the greatest
pangs of human misery to be compelled to shave with a
razor the edge of which is not sufficiently keen to suit the
tender skin of the operator. In a thousand forms will be

pain—excruciating pain—that makes even byestanders
shudder. lie clenches his teeth, and again attempts to
remove from his tender cheek the wiry hair. The attemPt
is in vain, and he declares the razor to be one of those
described by Pindar—" made to sell, and not to shave..
Thus it is often that the innocent temperer of steel Is,
convicted of what duly belongs to an itinerant vender of
strops. Nothing is worse to procure than a good razar.

can strop. It has been invented many years, and was so..
successful in America, that Mr. Saunders came with it Isu,
England about twenty years ago. It has stood the ten t,
ever since, and he is now located in the Strand, Londo.,
