e..ss TO TNE Eh aEsn.
Psitsus Of tn, "SUNBURY AMERICAN

Paifsns Of the "SUNBURY AMERICAN"
January 4, is40.
With "a happy New Years to you all,
The Carrier greets you, young and old
And whilst ne makes his annual call,
lie must his annual "tale unfold"
Heaven again has blessed the store
Ofthis great aud prosperous nation;
While thousands on distant shore,
Are on the brink of sad starvation.
Our Eagle, too, now scars aloft
And flaps his wings in exultation;
Nor French, nor British, does he heed,
In making terms for Annexation.
And Congress, too, did up the job,
Which no longer, now, can vex US;
Enlarged the family of the States,
By admitting sister Texas.
A bright-eyed maid is missing yet,
or her name, need not warn ye;
The family circle can't be ooprlets,
Without opr Sister, California.
Oregon, too, will claim her place,
And shows by her strong affection,
Though, rude and rugged in her face,
She's not unworthy Of protection.
And now, 10 cut the story short,
The CARRIER asks his pittancc;
For ftp or hry or dime
He gives you this, his quittance.
And to make his claim more strong and clear,
lie adds this Ode 70 the uDyinv Yearn

advantages are the following:
LIST. 1t saves the pain attendant upon the removal
of the roots Of the front teeth when in healthy con-
diion, and makes those roots highly useful in fast
enng the artificial teeth.
I'd. Il gives the teeth greater frmness, rendering
them always much less troublesome and more use
ful in the process of mastieatiOn than the common
mode.
Sd. II renders it easy to remove and replace the
teeth, which, together with the peculiar sim liety
Of the fastenngs, enable the to keep them al
ways clean.
