TAKE CARE OF THE TEETH.

Few people know the importance OF teeth,
and still fewer take proper care OF them. On
ly when persons grow old, and find them wan
ting, or when they suffer from their decay, do
they properly appreciate their value. 1t Is
remarkable that, while man has only one
of any other organs during his lifetime, he
has t1y0 distinct sets of teeth: and this fact
may be attributed to show their great impor
lance in the animal economy. Man properly
has thirty-two teeth, which are f.Ied with
great tirmness into the Jaws, which latter are
moved by very powerful muscles, and the up
per and lower rows OF teeth are pressed to-
ward each other with considerable force du-
ring the mastcaton of food. By these means
the substances taken into the mouth are bro
ken, and macerated by the salinary juice
which flows from the glands Of the mouth, du-
ring the presence of food. The subsequent
digestion of food in the stomach much depends
upon its perfect mastcaton if the teeth have
| efTectually done their work, and reduced the
! food to a soft mass, the gastric Juice OF
the stomach more easily dissolvesit it, and blood
is the more speedily and completely formed
| therefrom, and the body the better nouTlshed.
| Many people who have good teeth suffer IN
digestion from neglecting TO properly use them;
and those who have them not are alike afflicted
with their absence To preserve the teeth,
they should be regularly cleaned night and
morning; cleanliness, in this respect, much
promotes personal elegance, and frees the
breath from the dsagreeable faint that would
! otherwise accompany it.
The best-tooth- powder is little pulverZed
charcoal; camphor, or camphorated chalk
should be avoided, as the camphor acts chem
icaIy upon the enamel, i. e. the hard white
coating Of the teeth, which protects the soft
bone AMI nervous structures beneath Neg
Iect of the teeth is so common, and the EN-
pIoyment of improper substances as articles o.
diet so general, that comparatively, few peo
pie have their teeth quite sound, and many
suffer the excruciating pain termed tooth ache
This pain is so severe, that we should do ngh
10 regard it as a warning 10 take proper care
of the teeth, which are so important to the
welfare of the body. Creosote or oil OF tar
alcohol, opium, and other such substances
are often employed as remedies for the tooth
ache But these only aggravate the evil by
accelerating the decay, and often dsor1erins
the gums The wiSest course is to seek pre-
venton in cleanliness in the manner alread,
pointed out, and by living upon simple an
pure articles of diet. But when decay has ia
ken its seat, the best remedy is to have the
apertures filled with a substance which nara,
ems therein, and thus supplies an aFtIncia
enamel.

ENGLISH, CLASSICAL, MATTE
NAUTICAL AND MERCANTILE
SCHOOL,.

NHE subscribers beg leave to inform the citizens
of Wayne and the adjoining countess that
they have opened an English, Classical, Mercan-
tile and Mathematical School, in the town of
Goldsborough.
The Senior instructor Mr.. john ROBINSON, is
practical and experienced Teacher, having for
the last ten years stood at the head of his profess
sion i'll Europe, as the many faterng testimonials
in his possession will show. William Robinson
flaters himself that he is already tavorably known
in this region, as teacher who has always been
faithful in the discharge of duty, and successful in
imparting instruction and would, therefore throw
himself upon his old patrons OF Wayne, Lenoir,
and Edgecombe-in which counties he has spent
the last nine years-for a share of that patronage
which they always so chcerfully bestowed upon
him.
Mr. John Robinson will superutend the Eng
Iish MERCANTILE and Mathematical department,
and give instruction in the Italian and French
lannuapes-also in instrumental music, if requlr-
ed Vocal music will constitute part OF The daily
exercises of the pupils
Mr.. William Robinson will superintend the
Classical department.
They have built and fitted up a new School
Roam. and hope that their effort to establish a
School of high literary merit in this rising and
fourishing town, will not be in vain. They com
mence it on individual enterprise, and under the
most discouraging circumstances, and rely upon
the merits of the Institution alone fer support.
The School is now in operation, and those who
wish to avail themselves of its advantages, are re-
ouested to make no delay in entering, that the
classes may be properly and advantageousy or
gained. 90

Il Receipt for Happiness.-An exchange
gives the following excellent piece of advice,
which is by no means bad to take" Ii is
simply when you rise in the morning to form
a resolution TO make the day happy one to
a fellow-creature. 1t is easily done--a left off
garment TO man that needs it :; kind word
to the sorrowful an encouraging expression
10 the striving-trifies in themselves as light
as air-wil do at least for the twenty four
hours, and if you are young, depend upon it
it will tell you when you are old, and if you
are old rest assured that it will send you gent
Iy and happily down the stream OF human
time TO eternity. Look at the result. You
send one person-only one-happily through
the day; that is three hundred and sixty-five
in the course of the year, and supposlng You
live only forty years after you commence this
course, you have made fourteen thousand SIX
hundred human beings, at all events happy
for time Now, worthy reader is not this
simple. And is it not worth accomplishing ?
We do not often indulge in moral dose, but
we feel warranted in prescribing it. It is most
excellent for digestion, and a producer of
nIeasant slumber.-Scientifc american.

The coolest impudence.-We have hereto
fore related several anecdotes of George
White, who once had wider notoriety as
thief than any other man, and who was an in
mate of almost evrey Jail and prison in this
commonwealth Another one has recently
come to our ears, from the most authentic
source, and deserves record.
White was once arraigned for stealing, be-
fore a court over which Judge Sedgwick
(from whose lips the story comes) presided
James Sullivan, who was an Attorney Gener-
al, argued the case for the government In
the course of his speech, one of the jury lean
ing forward, rested his elbow on his knee and
covered his eyes with his hand. White rose
mp in the bar, and addressing the speaker,
said:
"You may as well stop, Mr.. Sullivan you
have talked one of the Jury TO sleep"
Sullivan, who was quick and passionate,
turned TO the bar eXclaiming with much Yehe-
mence:
"You thief! Your father bears the letter
T, which stamps your character pro-
ceeded to lecture him most freely for his fire.
quent arraignments, not forgetting TO tell him
of the nine indictments then pending against
him at that court The whole audience was
reused to the highest pitch of attention by
this singular scene White stood as unmoved
as marble through the singing reproof of the
Attorney General, and when it was finished
quietly remarked:
" You may proceed with your argument,
Mr. Sullivan, Y0u haze araked him up.'
The audience was convulsed with laughter
Judge S. remarking that he never in his life
found it so difficult as then to maintain the
dignity that belonged to his judicial station.

Can't we sell something more, ma ? sug-
gested The daughter.
I'VE have sold all our plate and iewelry,
and now I'm sure | don't know what we can
dispose of, unless it be something thatwe re
ally want
What do you say 10 selling the sofa, ma !.
well, don't know, Florence. 1t don't
seem right 10 part with it. But perhaps we
can do without it,
{ 1t will readily bring fifty dollars, l sup
pose
Certainly. 1t is of the best wood and
Workmanship, and cost one hundred and for
ty dollars. Your father bought il short time
before he died, and that is less than two years
past you know
Il should think it would bring nearly a
hundred dollars said Florence, who knew
nothing of auction sacrifices; and that would
give us enough, besides paying the quarters
rent, to keep us comfortably until some of my
bills come DUE
That afternoon the sofa was sent, and on
the next afternoon Florence went to the auc-
TONER'S TO receive the money for it.
Have you sold that sofa yet, sir . asked
the timid girl, in a low, hesitating voice.
'What sofa, miss = asked the CLERK looking
steadily in her face with bold stare.
The sofa sent by Mrs --, sir
When was it 10 have been sold"
Yesterday, sir
Oh, we haven't got the bill made out yet
You can call the day after tomorrow, and
We'll settle it for you
Cant you settle it to-day, sir? We want
the money particularly
Without replying to the tmid girls request
the clerk commenced throwing over the leaves
of large account book, and in few minutes
had taken off the bill of the sofa
Here it is-eighteen dollars and sixty
cents. See if it's right, and then sign this re-
ceipt.'
Amt you mistaken, sir? 1t was beauti-
full sofa, and cost one hundred and forty dol
lars
That's all it brought, miss, assure you
+ Furniture sells very badly now
Florence rolled up the bills that were given
her, and returned home with heavy heart
1t only brought eighteen dollars and sixty
cents, ma she said, throwing the notes into
her mothers lap, and bursting into tears.
Heaven only knows, then, what we shall
do said the widow, clasping her hands to-
gether, and looking upwards.
There are always two parties in the case o.
bargaIns-the gamer and the loser; and while
the one is delighted with the advantage he
has obtained, he thinks nothing of the neces
sites which have forced the other party Il
accept the highest offer. But few buyers o
bargains think or care about taking this view
of the subject.

a somewhat curious case was argued be-
fore the Supreme Court of Massachusetts, on
the 4th instant. The plaintiff was colored
girl, slave from the South, and the defendant
a physician living at Northampton, In 1s45,
the girl being temporarily at Northampton
with her masters family, the defendant sued
out habeas corpus, on which she was bro't
before Judge Dewey, with view 10 her eman-
cipaton, but, before the Judge, she refused 10
be made free, preferring 10 remain with her
master And subsequently she brought an
action against the defendant for false imprs-
onment. In this action verdict was rendered
for the plaintiff, under instructions from the
Court that the facts proved did not constitute
a valid defence, those facts being, in substance,
that the habeas corpus was sued cut with the
consent, and at the request of the plaintiff
The Supreme Court was of different opinion
and ordered new trial.

A Coon JoKE-We have read the follow
ing wondrous legend, and must say that we
cannot now despair of humanity any more:
The ~ Y. correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, says the Mobile Herald, tells an
amusing story of new invention against
rogues, called the Combination Lock" Re-
Gently Wall street broker, of considerable
wealth, and who lives in great style in the
west end of Gotham, purchased beautiful
tre proof safe, in which 10 secure his valua-
6les against the fierce elements, 10 which he
alflXed one of these beautiful pieces of me-
chanIsm They are so strangely complicated
that You may lock them, hand the key to the
manufactures even, and the chances are as one
10 ten thousand that he will not open them.
The wards and interior Arrangements of these
locks are alphabetically arranged, and you
select word in the language, take the letters
and lock the wards, answering to these let
tiers, one by one. Thus take the word ''chair'
you lock c, then h, then q, then 1, then D.
Now it must 6e unlocked in the same way,
and unless you hit upon the exact word you
will never be able TO unlock it. Well, the
broker in question locked his new safe accord
ing TO the word ''boots," but after working at
II for an hour or more the next morning he
could not unlock it, and gave it up in despair.
AS his funds were all locked up, says the
letter, and he had no money with which 10
pay his notes and carry on his business that
day, but as his credit was good he raised suf-
ficent for the purpose by borrowing OF the
banks The next morning the manufacturer
OF the lock, according to request, called TO as
certain the difficulty. He said he had no doubt
he could unlock the safe if the gentleman
would tell him the word, TO which he locked
it. " Boots was the word, and to work he
set TO unlock ii 10 "boots" Well, he tried,
sanguine of success, but "boots" would not
unlock the safe. He tried again and again,
and was no more successful He tried an
hour, two hours, and three hours, and no sue
cess. Finally happy thought struck him.
He wiped the perspration from his face, took
drink of water, examined the key again, and
looked at the broker straight in the eye and
said, Sir, allow me to ask you how you
spell boots" How do spell boots ?" said
the other. ooh, never mind" said the man
of combination locks, how spell it; how
do you spell % "B-u-t-s, to be sure.' said
the broker. ''The ID you do" said the
lock man; g and if you spell boots butts,
will unlock the safe butS," and he did unlock
it in the twinkIing of an eye,
