During a war in Germany, the captain
of a troop Of cavalry was ordered out on
a foraging party. He marched at the
head Of his troop, 10 the quarter assign
ed him a solitary vale, uncultivaied,
and nearly covered with wood. In the
middle of it stood a small cottage, the
residence Of a poor man, one of the
Moravian brethren. On perceiving the
hut, the captain knocked a: the door,
when the aged. pious son Of poverty
made his appearance. His beard and
locks were silvered by age, wtile his
countenance bespoke that inward peace,
which the world cannot give, nor take
away. Father said the %olicer, show

MEssRs. EDIroRs: From the many
mistaken notions in regard to the time
for the Eruption Of the permanent teeth.
and the removal of the first, or tempo
rary, you will likely not be doing an
unacceptable service by giving the fol-
lowing place, viz:
III first, or deciduous teeth, consist
of twenty, ten in each jaw, ard SO an
tagonize as to answer the purpose Of
cutting, tearing and grinding any sub
stance necessary for our comfort at that
period of life.
The firstpermanent teeth which make
their appearance, are those immediate
" back of the temporary, one in each
jaw, aud usually appear at six years o.
age, and hence not unfrequently takcr
for a temporary; the second are III,
front incisors, which generally appear
at seven; the lateral, or those next tn,
front, at eight; the bicuspids, or thos,
back Of the eye teeth, at nine and ten
and the cuspidati, or eye teeth, at ele
ven and twelve. which are the last o.
the permanent front set and although
the most valuable. are frequently very
improperly extracted in consequence Of
their irregular position, which can ge-
morally be avoided bv the sacrifice of a
less valuable tooth.
To determine when, or whether a
first tooth, or teeth, should be extract
ed, it is only necessary to know wheth-
er the time has come for it to give way
to successor or not, and il so, il
should be removed in the great majori-
ty of cases.
IL the first teeth decay and give pain,
or produce gum boils, they should be
removed regardless of age.
After the permanent front teeth have
made their appearance, if they are much
crowded, or irregular, it is then gene
rally an easy task to give them the most
desirable position, and thereby secure
to very great extent their beauty and
future usefulness; but il suffered to re-
main in that condition, decay is almost
certain to attack the approximal surfa-
ces, and render one of the most disa-
greeabIc operations highly important.
At from twelve to fifteen the teeth
yield very readily to pressure, and by
the proper use Of India Rubber, can be
brought into almost any position with
out the disagreeable necessity Of filing,
as is too often done.
If parents were fully impressed with
the importance of attention at this most
interesting period, there would no lon
ger remain that indifference in consult
ing and adopting the means necessary
to secure to their children treasure
more desirable than all the phantoms Of
wealth or artificial display.
