CHILDHOOD.

BY GEORGE u. PREhTICE.
'Tis sad yet sweet to listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music
Our childhood loved no well;
To gaze out on the even,
And the boundless fields ofnir,
And feel again our bo, hoods wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams OF gladness
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb offeeling,
Old thoughts come thronging fast;
The forms we lovedso dearly,
In the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely,
So fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidens,
Who seemed SO formed for bliss,
Too glorious and too heavenly
For such world as this
Whose dark, soft eyes seemed swimming
In sea Of liquid light;
And whose locks ofgold were streaming
Ger brows SO sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds Of summer,
They have fallen from the stem,
Yet, oh it is lovely dream,
To fade from earth like them.
And yet the thought is saddening,
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing swift away!
That the fair ones whom we love
Grow to each loving breast,
Like tendrils of,he clinging vine.
And per.h where they rest.

ential persons and OF the press, in iavor
of the Dental Toilet Articles, and i'm
proved dental practice of DR.. J. A.
Cummings, Of 25 fremont Street, Bos-
ton, we copy the following from that
best oil authority, the Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal.
DENTIFRIcE AND WASH FOR THE
TEETH AND GUMs.-It is olien the case
that individuals engaged IN the manu-
facture OF dentlirces and tooth washes,
are destitute Of any pathological know
ledge concerning the teeth and gums.
We have known substances used Tor
these organs which are decidedly nju-
rious TO them such, for instance, as
powdered pumice stone, peroxide OF iron
&c. I; yet they have had All extensive
sale. 1t il trne. such articles will wh-
ten and make the te IN look beautiful
Tor "a while, but IT must DC apparent to
every one, that they will ultimately
prove Injurious TO them. DR.. Cummings,
an eminent practical dentist OF this city,
has laid before us the formula by which
he prepares his popular wash aad den
thrice. We know that the articles used
in this preparation are OF the greatest
benefit 10 sPongy gums and c rroded
teeth.
There have been three premiums
awarded to the DR.. tor hls excellent ar
ticles by the Boston Charitable Me
chanic Association - by the Lowell
Charitable Mechanic Association, and
by the London Exhibition for the Indus
try ofall nations
DR.. Cummings has, for the convent
ence OF his patients and others, put up
these preparations, with brush, &C., in
a neat case, SO as to constitute a CON-
plete set oil dental toilet articles, which
we take pleasure IN recommending for
general use.
Rev DR.. Atkinson, recently chosen
Bishop Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church Of North Carolina, has signlfied
his acceptance ofthat Office.

There is much disease and bodily week

Nay, do not turn aside thy brow;
I've looked into those eyes so long,
dare nor lose their lustre now;
The world would seem too cold and drear.
Where'er tread, my steps would slide
Oh grief that thou shouldst be so dear,
And yet canst never prove my bride
A sunbeam in the azure sky,
Which genial warmth and radiance spreads,
Such is the glow, when thou art nigh.
Upon my heart the presence sheds;
black cloud in the midnight air,
Through which no moon or star hath shone,
Such is the darkness Of despair
Which dims my soul when thou ar, gone.

No "idol made with hands" is mine,

Thou art some wanderer OF the spheres,
Come down to Earth in woman's guise.

heard with anguish the dying groans OF his riends
fully for him. At one time they were so close he
could have touched them"
Few subjects could be more simple, noble, or
inspiring than that which Mr. barley has selected
and treated with such thrilling truthfulness The
agony of the scene is before you, and in very
small group you have transcendent scenic beauty
and combination of passion at once ferocious and

He said be was not and should not be candidate

has no hope OF getting, he increases his chances OF
