Beauty has charms. No Il has almost equal 10
music IL may soothe q savage breast. Ii did
soothe or charm German music teacher, one day
last week. lie was charmed with the beauty of a
lady, bright as a star--loyely as those who dwell
beyond or in the shining orbs. He saw, and she
conquered. He saw her in the street and followed.
Other poodles have done the same. She entered
a store, 80 did he. Not because he wanted TO buy
goods, but he thought an opportunity might occur
for him to speak music TO her or hear the music oi
her speech. h
Oh, what d voice !--more sweet than his own
fiddle; and its tones vibrated to the very bottom,
of his lager beer barrel And her smile-it strucl,
him to the heart, for he thought she smiled upon
him. Perhaps she did, Wc smiled at bigger
fool in the circus the other night. She looked Mt
silks--he tried to snit himself, with new pair oi
gloves. Both were hard to suit, and time sped
At length she left, and took stage for home up
town. He took the same mode Of getting away
from his home, and went up by the SANG convey
ance, without any definite place in view at which
he should pull the strap. He waited patiently for
the lady TO give the first pull She got out and
entered a brown stone 'front.' He noted the spot,
and ended his ride at the next corner, and came
back and looked up to the cold walls, and thought,
yes he thought Of the warm heart within, and the
sweet face that smiled, was II ut or for himy ess
"Hope told iattering tale,'
ana he tnOuSnt II nc cOuu only enter that portal,
he could win the citadel. But how ? What ex-
cuse should he make, or who inquire for when the
door was opened? Fortune came to his aid, and
showed him dentists sign. #4 5s
"Ah! true,n he said, 8 / have decayed TOOTH .
and walked boldly up and rang the bell. Fortune
favored him again. The lady herself opened the
door. Had she watched him from the window as
he watched the house, and, unwilling to let him
be seen by servant, flown herself to the doorg
Perhaps--we have seen such things before
z Is the doctor at home :" I etEs
"No; but walk in---you can wait for him.
"Oh yes, certainly, in your company any length
of time--if he should not come till midnight---or
morning." ID asgs
The lady led the way to the parlor. Both were
seated upon the sofa, and time went off on the
wings of--love! Well, he thought so. He thought
that every woman that smiled upon him was made
to love- Perhaps he offered his to her acceptance
She did not accept, but that only served to make
his stronger. So flew time, till loud ring at the
door bell marked a period sr
The lady ran TO open the door, and stopped for
few hasty words with the new conner, and then
came in and said: /" My husband the DOCTOR"
Her visiter wanted to see one just az bad as the
other. He would very gladly have given the
room to either, but the two in one stood in the
door. He looked anxionsly toward the fatal charm
er who had enticed him into a snare, and she
smiled, showed her beautiful teeth, and vanished.
The teeth reminded him Of his own.
The doctor looked stern, and said sternly: " Did
you wish to see me professionally, sirr of course
he did, What else could he say he was there for ?
He thought OF the decayed tooth, and thought he
would have that out to get out himself Itwas not
exactly tooth for a tooth, but it soon will be.
lie took his seat and the doctor applied the
nippers and--drew the wrong tooth--a perfectly
sound one, upon one side of the other.
| OF course II was mistake-a bloody mistake
but easily remedied by pulling another That would
be tooth for a TOOTH The doctor would take nc
| excuse and applied the instrument again and drew
| another sound tooth. The decayed one now stood
alone, and the doctor thought II might perhaps get
well he was very sure he had cured the musical
gentleman of his tooth ache, and very kindly told
him to pay him five dollars, and II his troublesome
tooth should ever plague him ngnin, all he had to
do was TO follow his wife home and he would pull
all the teeth out of his head
