Naples, June, 1858.

We learn, says the Memphis Wing, from
a reliable source, that as married couple
were travelling on steamboat, bound from
New Orleans to an up stream port, the man
sickened and died. When the boat touch
ed at Memphis, the bereaved and distressed
widow landed there with the corpse, and an
undertaken sent for, who came and took the
measure for coffin. The coffin was pre-
pared, the body deposited therein, and al
was in readiness to take the mortal re-
mains Of that dear husband to its last, final
resting place The lady, with the fond af-
fection and deep woe of a wife, begged the
privilege of taking one more look, a last
parting kiss, on him who was more dear
than all other upon earth. The lii was ta-
ken off, and as she laid upon that cold icy
brow, bathing it in tears, and smothering
those cold lips with warm kisses, a sort OF
consciousness and symptoms of life became
apparent; the body was taken from the cot-
fin, and a physician sent for. Our tale is
soon told. The man soon became conya-
lescent, and but few days since, the happy
couple took passage from Memphis on an up
stream boat, and are now en- route for their
place of destination.
That fellows head was certainly right,
and man after our own heart, for no man
"what is a man." could "keep on with his
dying" when a pretty women is kissing
him.

Horrible.

A gentleman on the Statesman remarked
Yesterday that he had lived in New Orleans
from the time he was twelve years old, and
had been there when the Yellow Fever ragged
severest, but he never before was scared
away. He represents the condition ofthings
there as awful in the extreme. He states
that the dead cannot be buried-that at the
Lafayette Cemetery there were, at the time
he left the city, some sixty or seventy bod
les lying in boxes upon the ground, unburi-
ed, producing an etfiuvia that could be detect
ed squares distant Many of the boxes had
burst open. He says old Doctor Stone told
him he could do nothing with those taken
with this disease. 1t was unlike in some
things, to the Yellow Fever OF former times.
Mr.. Sontag, Clerk Of the Statesman, ver-
ties the above. He says when in New Or
leans, he visited the potters Field burying
ground, and found a similar state Of things.
Persons cannot be procured to bury the bod
les. As high as thirty and forty dollars per
day were offered aborers. Finally, the me-
groes on the chain gang were taken there,
and they coald only be made to work by
getting them in half drunken condition.
They were shouting and carousing in the
grave yard like mud men. The business
houses are nearly all closed, and everything
looks like death tself.-EransriAe Journal.

Salivary Calculus.

4 The following little article is just to the
point, and our friend Dr. Dryer is just
the man, as We know from wel!-scraped ex
perience with the fact, to remove all such
accumulations from the teeth:
All persons are familiar with the sub
stance formed III the mouth, called Tartar.
Familiar with it, aye, as familiar as with
their daily food, they see its disgusting FL
thiness spread over the most beautiful teeth;
they smell its fetid odor, and experience
| its nauseating taste, almost continually.
+, But this is not its worst feature. If left
unremoveo for short time after i. is depos-
| tied, it hardens, and collecting around the
aecks, (lower part,) Of the teeth, forms
kind Of stone-like substance, which, con-
stantly collecting, lnfames the gums, sep
crates them from the teeth, and if left un-
checked will, in progress Of time, cause the
abtorption of the gums and atceo,ar process
es. when the teeth become loose and drop
out.
Tlis is no uncommon case. These ei-
fects are experienced, to some extent, by
the majority ofpersons. 1t is the cause Of
the loss Of most Of the front teeth, especially
the lower ones, for these being of firm
structure. are seldom attacked by carries
Here, again, the prevention is the better part
of the cure. The tartar is at first soft, and
easily removed. II, in this state, a brush be
used, it will remove the greater part of it,
and will also make the gums firm and heal
thy. No one ought to neglect, to use the
brush at least every morning, and use it
thoroughly. Not the outer surface alone
should be thus cleaned, but the upper and
inner, the whole of the tooth that is expos
ed. Unless the brush is faithfully used, the
tartar will gradually collect, and then it is
necessary that the teeth should be 'Scraped.
This operation, if performed with suitable
instruments, and by sklful Dentist, is
perfectly harmless one. But to be benef-
cial, it must be thorough-all the tartar
must be rcmoFed for otherwise, that which
is left, will form a nucleus, around which
more will collect

Good Bye.

The editor of the Albany Register, in
a word of true pathos and beauty, thus
speaks Of this sad world
''Iow many emotion; cluster round that
word. How full Of sadness, and to US, how
full of sorrow it sounds. 1t is with US con-
secrated word. We heard it once within
the year. as we hope never to hear it again.
We spoke it on an occasion, such as we
hope never to speak it again. 1t was in the
chamber Of death, at the still hour of
nights noon. The curtains to the VIM
dows We're all closed, the lights were sha-
ded, and we stood in the dim and solemn
twilight, with others, around the bed Of the
dying. The damps of death were on her
pale young brow, and GOODNESS was on her
| lips, as we kissed her for the last time while
living Good bye, my daughter" We
whispered, and 'sGood bye father" came
family from her lips. We know not if she
ever spoke more. but "Good bye" was the
lastwe ever heard of her sweet voice. We
hear that last sorrowtul word often and Of
ten, as we sit alone, busy with the memo
! res ofthe past. We hear it in the silence
of night, in the hours of nervous wakeful-
ness, as we lay upon cur bed thinking of
the loved and the lost to us. We hear it
| in our dreams, when her sweet face comes
back to us, as it was in its loveliness and
beauty We hear it when we sit beside
her grave in the cemetery where she sleeps,
alone, with no kindred as yet by her side.
She was the hope Of our life, the prop upon
which to lean when age should come upon
us, and life should be running to its dregs.-
The hope and the propis gone. and we care
not how soon we go down to sleep beside
our darling, beneath the shadow OF the trees
in the city of the dead.''

SINGULAR AccIDEST.-Out in Canton
township, a few days ago, u boy threw a
stone at a woodpecker sitting on the point OF
a stake. The stone did not go within three
feet OF the bird, which flew perpendicularly
high into the air, and Immediately fell to the
ground &c I'd, greatly 70 the astonishment OF
the boy, who. at first, supposed the bird had
been frightened to death. On examining
liz, however, its death was accounted for by
its having choked upon cherry found in its
throat! The poor bird had taken position
to feast upon the fruit, when the fright caus-
ed it to swallow the cherry suddenly, produ-
cling strangulation.-W Washington p. Re-

Akin to death-t saddens me

The Davenport Gazette says the best men
are leaving the democratic party and taking
a proud stand in the front ranks of Temper
ance." Perhaps there may be few about
Davenport. Itwould seem from the recent
election that there are. Let them go. The
sooner the democratic party is rid OF those
fanatics who will not, from ignorance or de-
sign, discriminate between politics and mo-
rality, or in other words, who are resolved
to connect religion and temperance, with
politics, the better willit be fcrits present ant

APPEARANCE OF New ORLEANs.-The
New Orleans Delta of the 5th instant, thus
describes the appearance of that city, during
the present sickness:
The ships are all gone. and there a solta.
ry steamer, whose struggling passengers
seem almost afraid to land, finds an ample
berth at the deserted wharf No cabman
there to importune you for your fare, for their
calls are now to the grave. The very hors-
es have melancholy look as they follow
the dreary hearse on its way to some city
of the dead. In the streets, but short time
ago so bright and gay, no silks and satins
sparkle in the "garish sun"--mourning has
taken their place, and the sparse promena-
ders move along as though afraid of the ech-
oes of their own footsteps. Catch if you
can the whispering words of the passer by:
sick k,--dying,-deod! These are the words
on every lip. Opera music, dance, seem
sacreligious now.
