SCENE INA DENTISTS OFFICE.

Calling upon DIR. one day to
have him examine and repair n defect
i've molar, | discovered him busily en-
gagged in endeayoring to convince pa
tent the tooth she wanted extracted
was sound. and that the pain she suffer
ed arose from the tooth opposite in the
lower jaw that being the only decayed
tooth she had in her mouth.
Do you suppose | don't know which
tooth the ache is in, myself, doctor p? 1t
has ached all the blessed mornin' and
niver the wink o Shape did git wild it
all the night, nor the bit o pace the day
aiore, doctor, an it aches so o och !
what shall do dear o'me o O och !
doctor! After some time Biddy was
convinced that the pain came from the
dccayed tooth, and she consented to It's
beng extracted.
The doctor took his forceps, and be-
ing about to apply them to the tooth,
Biddy extended her digits and grasping
his arm with a little Irish vigor, ex-
claimed % Ooul doctor dear wait
little bit till git me BIRTH haven't
the heart to have it pulled yii, Oou Q !
Oou docthor, and biddy sung Oui doc
thor with various interpretations aud va
riaiions each ending Da Capo' for
period sufficient to have exhausted the
patience of any one but a dentist (or an
cditor.) THIS was part Of the play
that was not in the bills, and our friend
Of the torceps began 10 weary OF it, aud
perenpioriy told Blddy to have her
tooth out or leave the office.
In fit of desperation, suppose, Bid
dy closed her eyes, and opened her
mouth wide and resigned herself to fate
and the dentist
The doctor dexicrously removed the
tooth and placed his forceps on the Ia
bile with the tooth in their embracc.-
Says Blddy will ye be aither getting
the tooth out soon, doctor ?
Yes, Biddy, in minute, open your
mouth and the doctor introduced his
finger to examine the gums, and on re
moving it, exclaimed, there Bddy, it
is out'
Upon this announcement Biddy thot
she was hHrt, and commenced series
OF screams that attracted a crowd--to
whom 1t was necessary to give an ex-
PLANTATION that made the office resound
with laughter, as loudly as before ii did
with Biddys screams, much TO her NOR
nication.
The doctor was in luck that day, for
no sooner had he discharged Bddy than
a moe representative from the Emerald
Isle made his appearance, hat in hand,
with the top o the moruin' to We, sir,
am got a bad tooth, and a diyi bit
10 scomlort Gun get short Nv bottle
o brandy an I've got one o. Father
Naithy's medals. 10 keep me from all
such eyIl spirits, to be shure. Now, sir,
wharll ye be aither akin to pull me
tooth ?
Half dollar says the doctor.
Well, says Pat, what'll YOU pull
two for ?
'Oh,' replied the doctor, won't
charge you anything for pulling the sec
ond one
Pat seated himself turned up his mug,
and the doctor took peep at his grind
ers, and with a little assistance from Pat,
soon found which were the ones he wan
ted out
Says Pat, this is the first one, and
that Is the second one. Place pull the
second one first =
Very WE'LL replied the doctor, any
way TO get them out, and then he pull
ed.
Before he bad time TO prepare his in
slrument for The other tooth, (the first
one) PAT had got out of the chair aud
was edging towards the door.
| guess, doctor, | won't have the
first tooth pulled until il aches, and YOU
told me you would pull the second one
for nothing =
PAT mizzled and the doctor pocke,ed
the Joke instead of the lee.- Yankee
