India Rubber.

The Scientific american says that the
adaptation of purified white India rubber
to the manufacture of artificial teeth,
gums and palates, has been patented in
England. Many advantages, hitherto
deemed unattainable are contained in
this substance. The adhesion is COM
plete; it can be moulded with perfection
to suit every inequality of surface, and
supplies an artificial periosteum, as it
were, to the teeth, when they become
painful by the wasting away of the gum.
Improvements have also been made in
the manufacture of India rubber thread,
1t has been discovered that threads of
this material, if heated while on the
stretch, do not shrink back to their for
mcr dimensions; and by repeated stretch
ings and heatings, any degree of 6neness
can be produced In this way about 65,-
600 yards, or 81 miles of thread may
be obtained from single kilogramma "a
little more than two pounds of rubber.
The proprietor Of factory in Grenelle
il SAID to manufacture 100000 yards.
Ass miles) of this thread daily. The
superiority of the threads produced by
the new method, is that they are perfect
ly round. Rubber is certainly getting to
be very useful auxiliary to the comfort
of man. We have, or soon shall have, if
reports tell true, besides India rubber
noses, footballs, and the ike, India rub
Der bedsteads, India rubber railroad cars,
India rubber consciences, (an old inven-
tion by the way,) India rubber teeth, and
India rubber thread. We hope the world
will not be peopled by India rubber men,
or newspapers filed with India rubber
advertising.

A Coed Oae.

Riding over the Hamilton and Dayton
railroad the other day, under the charge
of Mr.. John Van Dusen, (the gentldman-
ly conductor, pro ten. he told US the fol-
loving incident, which we thought worth
making note off,
'One day last week. said be, there
came on board of the cars, from one of
country stations, very pretty, genteel
young lady, en- route for this city. She
was alone, so | waited upon her to good
seat, and made her as comfortable as pos
sible It was few minutes before the
starting hour, and she was so agreeable
and so talkative, fingered and had quite
a pleasant chat. Afterwards when col
lecting the tickets she detained me again
an instant, and gave me some fne peaches,
which she said came from her friends
orchard, in the country; and | began to
think that had not met with such a
charming lady passenger for many a
day. Well, we arrived at the depot
there | attended her to a carriage, hand
ed her up the carpet-bag, and after all,
what do you think she said?'
Now, we thought, of course, that the
Lady would say, very politely, thank you,
SIR smile like gleam of sunshine, the
carriage would roll of, our friend John
would bow an adieu, and, with a sigh,
perhaps, turn away and forget the mat
ter So we stated that as our suppogi-
ton.
No. said John, she done no such
thing but just as her foot was on the
step, she turned, and with sort of look l
can't describe, observed:
You must consider this, sir, merely a
car acquaintance. You must not ex-
pect to be recognised if we chance to
meet you anywhere else;' and John drew
long breath.
:What did you say!' we asked.
'Why, thought that rather unciyil, at
least so | replied very quietly
Certainly not, madam; | was just 60
ing to remark that you must not feel
sighted if unnoticed by me anywhere bat
on the cars-for, really, we conductors
have to be careful about our acquaint-
aneesv
And the ladyi' said we.
She looked quite silly, as she drove of,
replied John.-Ez.

Am Election Story.

Years ago, in certain county in Penn
sylyania, the northern part of which was
peopled by the descendants of Germans,
politics were running high, though mere
y on local questions. The opposing can
didates Of the Wing and the Democrat
parties were both lawyers. One Dem
ocrat nicknamed Dignity Brown, and the
other Whig, known to his brother law
years and the public as Volunteer Davis.
and sometimes as Neutrality-suspicious.
Davis
Election was drawing-ear-a meeting
was appointed by the Democratic wire
pullers, to be held in the upper portion of
the county, for the purpose of making
sure of the German interest Our friend,
Dignity Brown, had never been in this
region of his county to be known, nor had
the Inhabitants been at court often enough
to distinguish one lawyer from another
As witnesses they hated them all alike,
and as jurymen they admired all alike
He had never been among these people,
we say, but as the contest was approach
ing, and the chances for Dignity's staying
at home or going to Washington being
evenly balanced, it seemed necessary that
the Germans should be aroused to sense
of their duty and danger. Accordingly
the call for the meeting had been pub
lished.
| Now on the meeting day-or rather
eyening-it happened, altogether acci-
dentaly, that our Wing candidate, Vol
unteer Davis, was returning from a con-
ference with his friends of the upper
end.' Twilight was just melting into
night as he drove up to the tavern where
the meeting was held, at which he thought
unobservedly, to stop few minutes to
refresh his horse and himself, and pick
up few points in Dignity's harangue for
a speech when Whig meeting should be
| held.
As he drove up, fingers were pointed
at him, short conferences held, some of
the unterrifed were smiling, and others
laughing outright, until Volunteer Davis
began to think they meditated some
practical joke upon him for thus coming
as spy into his enemy's coutry, when all
at once his doubts were relieved by the
appearance of committee of two who
simultaneously took him by the hand,
plying each arm vigorously in the pump
handle and cross-cut style, saying at the
same time, WELCOME Mishter Brown, and
up went three lusty cheers from the 'ion-
hearted Democracy
'Onl ho.' thought our hero; sits the
wind in that quarterl Well here goes;
IN do 'ouce my friend but now my foe,a
bit of service. I'll make a speech for
him If any mischiefs done, why III
prove an alibi, if fortunately these mis-
taken men don't take out writ of Habeas
Corpus for my body before am done.

Davis was hurriedly refreshing himself
concocting a speech, and trembling less
the Simon Pure, Dignity Brown, should
appear. But that individual was in
biissful ignorance of the state of things
at Grundle Town, for having stopped al
the tavern of good Wing, he found, af.
ter travelling mile, that his lynchpir

so back he trudges. to have the loss re-
paired while the opposing general was in
his very camp. All this was accidental,
Of course, and it was accidental that the
| blacksmith was half an hour making the
| pin, and that he should burn his fingers
so seriously in the job, that the appren-
tice should finish it-accidental that all
resulted in detention of Brown for two
hours from the road.
In the meantime affairs were approach
ing a crisis at Grundle Town.
Davis is beginning his peroration-his
German friends are all ear. Fellow
citizens, with all due Difference to the o.
pinions which men entertain concerning
their own language, frankly tell you
that l can see neither wit nor sense in

and the gentlest of the last arguments of
an incensed crowd, an egg spread its
golden hues over his breast like q gorge

had to run for his life. Imprecations,
stones, and clubs, were behind him thick
as hail, and the cloud whence they had
come was following.
The landlord, who having been busy in
his bar, had heard none of the obnoxious
sentiments of his favorite candidate, was
thunderstruck to see him flying through
the house, followed by the yelling crowd,
and not knowing how to gain knowledge
sooner spread himself between the pur-
suers and the pursued, crying 'Lilber

time to answer, but the burly figure of

a pursuit was attempted, but the crowd
finding it in vain, sulkily dispersed with
out goiug back to the scene of the diff

Brown and all his kith and kin forever.
This ill-used individual rode up to the
town about two hours after this fatal blow
had been struck at his fortune, but find
ing the inn closed concluded that the
meeting had adjourned in despair of see-
ing him that night, and so he quietly
turned his horse and logged on home
ward.
At the election he was surprised to
find that Grundle Town, rock of DEM
ocracy in former times, had gone deadly
against him, with the exception of the
landlord, who never could rightly under
stand the matter. Davis kept his own
counsel, and held his place in congress
for three years. 1t is not reported that
he ever volunteered speech for any ono
since.

A Friend.

BY MISS JULIA PLEASANTS.
Commend me TO the friend, who comes,
When am sad and lone,
And makes the anguish of my heart
The suferings Of his own.
Who coldly shuns the elittering throng
AT pleasure's-gay leVee,
But comes to gid sombre hour,
And give his heart to me.
He hears me count my sorrows DER,
And when the task is done,
He freely gives me ali ask,
A sigh for every one.
He cannot wear smiling brow,
When miDesis touched with gloom,
But like the violet, seeks to cheer
The midnight with perfume.
Commend me TO that generous heart,
Which, like the pine on high,
Upllfts the same unvarying brow
To every change of sky;
Whose friendship does not fade away,
When wintery tempests blow,
But like the winters Ivy crown,
Looks greater through the snow.
Ne flies not with the fittering flock, !.
That seek the southern sky,
But fingers where the wounded bird
Hath laid him down to die.
Oh, such friend he is, in truth,
Whate'er his lot may be,
A rainbow on the storm of life,
An anchor on lis sea.
