of the best in the country but is SO "stored
with the treasures Of the taltling world, and
with piece of mirth too," that while he

also-whlc he draws your TOOTH he draws
likewise upon an inexhaustble fund Of auec-

manner, that you forget the pain which
would otherwise attend the operation. His
way Of relating stories is peculiarly cone
OF his own" and wercgret that we cannot
give the following in his own style and
words:
Bob, however, was once travelling in New
ton county, Mississippi, on horseback, with
well'fil'ed saddle-bags, Containing we sup.
pose, his operating ct cetera,) and q great
coat securely fastened behind him in true
drayoon style. Houses on the road were
as scarce as hens teeth," "a dentistical

Night was approaching, and the prospect OF

he was not dismayed. Bob knew the
ropes, and summoning his prowcss to a
mighty effort, he resolved that at the next
house upon the road he would stay, any
how,-noens volens cat all hazards, and to
the last extremity" Thus determined, the
murky meshes of twilight had scarcely en-.
veloped him, ere, at 4 sudden turn Of the road
full tilt, and right ahead of him, stood-an
humble bet cosy cottage, so tastefully de,
corated around with vines and flowers. and
withal, so clean and neat, as to speak it al
once, tho abode of contentment and virtue
Bob besitated, but true to his resolution, rode
boldly Up to the little gate in front, dismoun'
ted, hi,ched his horse, and taking his saddle
bags aud great coatup his arm, alamonde
walked deliberately into the house. An old
lady met him at the door, her face radiant
with smiles and spectacles, and her whole
countcnance lighted up by some uncommon
