WHY DO TEETH DECAY ?-Al the theories
that line again have been advanced in answer
to this inquiry have long since vanished before
the true doctrine of the action of external cor
rosive agents. -.r
The great and all-powerful destroyer of hu-
man teeth is acid, vegetable or mineral; and it
matters not whether that acid is formed in the
mouth by the decomposition ofparticles of food
left between and around the teeth, or whether
it is applied directly to the organs themselves,
the result is the same, the enlmel is dissolved,
corroded and the tooth destroyed. Much, very
mnch of the decay in teeth, may be attributed
to the corrosive effects Of acetic acid, which is
not only in common use as a condiment in the
form of vinegar, but it is generated by the de-
cay and decomposition OF any and every var
iety of vegetable matter. When we consider
how few persons, comparatively, take especial
pains to remove every particle of food from Pc
tween and around their teeth Immediately after
eating, can we wonder that diseased ,eeth are
so common, and that their earlyloss is so fire.

POISONED CANDY.--A Brownsville (Pa,) pa

of this county, purchased some of these nep
toys manufactured of candy, as present for
his children. The little fellows ate heartily Of
them on Sunday, and, we regret to say two of
them were in the cold embrace OF death before
the day passed by and others of the family
were very sick from its effects. We have heard
that another has died since, but did not ascer
tain whether it was Mr. Donley's or the child
of some other family. We also learn the same
candy was purchased by other families, and
their children have more or less been afflicted,
some seriously. The candy is said to have
been manufactured in Pittsburg, and when an
alyzed was found to contain poison"

And Much sweet solace found l.
Our hopes the ssme-our hearts, at

With much to share-alas!not al
One pleasure moving either breast,
And unto each one all
From that dim land where all forgot
The strife that mar our human lot.

Than all that hope moi. yet denies

Though warm. the heart has lost its tone,

Still offering Lethe to my soul.

A life like mine fitly close .#
Some moments Of delerious JOY, -.
And then--the long repose! y-
