To an Absent Husband.

Dearest, come home! / cannot bear
Thy long protracted stay,
So sad and lonely is my heart
When thou art gone away,
I've tried alas! how yainly tried,
Thine absence to forget,
Yet still can but think Of thee
With fondness and regret.
As rnourns the gentle cooling dove
In accents desolate,
When forced by some unkindly hand
Far from her loving mate
So through the chambers of my heart
Echoes mournful tone,
While every pulse affection beats,
Re-echoes, I'm alone
Things that are bright, when thou art here,
Look dark and gloomy now,
And nature seems to share my grief
With clouds upon her brow.
The bird sings now sadder song
Than e'er lie sang before,
And flowers have lost the sunny hue
They once 20 sweetly wore.
To vile the weary hours away
That lag with leaden feet,
/ read thy favorite authors Ger
Their choicest parts repeat;
But even books, those voiceless friends,
Have lost all charm for me,
And fail to cheer my heart, unless
read them, love, with thee.
And music, with her voice SO sweet,
I've called her to my aid,
And soft, and low, with trembling hand,
Thy fagorite air I've played.
But all those tender notes have stirred
Affections fountains deep,
And sadly have left my song
TO think Of thee, and weep, 4
Thus gloomy thoughts their dismal shade
Der brightest objects fling,
How true It is-a saddened heart
Can sadden every thing!
Then, dearest, come, thy wife's fond heart
Still warmly beats for you
a heart whose every throbbing pulse
Is faithful kind and true.

NTOULD call the attention of his friends and
w the inhabitants of San Francisco, to his
office, where they can have all DENTAL opera
tions, whether SURGICAL or MECHANICAL, done
in style that cannot be excelIed, or even equal
ed, by any operator in this city or country.
DR.. B. would say to those wishing ARTIFICIAL
TEETH, that he is now prepared to manufacture
and insert BLOCK GUM TEETH, which, for NATU-
RAJ APPEARANCE, BEAUTY and DURABILITY, are
superior to anything before used in this place.
Persons wishing to have teeth filled, will find
that DR.. BIS operations are not excelled by any
other Dentist in the city. The greatest pains
will be taken to make the filing permanent.
To those wishing teeth extracted, he has al
ways met with the greatest success in removing
carous teeth and fangs.
ChlorofOrm and Ether from the best manufac-
turer in the States, and used with great care.
DR.. B. would say to those wishing Artificial
Teeth, that he models his teeth expressly for the
individual customer, so that to those unacquaint-
ed with dental operations it may be well to say,
dentists usually select from an assortment of ar
titical teeth-larger or smaller, as they may have
capital-separate teeth to form the set. If they
use gum teeth, there will be visible in the wear
ers mouth perceptible difference between the
appearance of not only the artificial and natural
gum, but between different sections of the artifi.
cial gum DR.. B. Obviates this entirely, by man
ufacturing a set of teeth with continuous gum
formed and cOlOred expressly for the particular
space to be filled, so that the greatest possible
degree of naturalness and strength is attained.
Examinations and advice free.

Development of this life, is quantity limited

words that may be interpreted in deeper
and more serious meaning than the light one
they were used to convey:
This is q world of lacking fulness and
scant patterns, particularly in the utterance
of femotion and the expression of the finer
passions. Lips have reefs in them-eyes
have burner unlighted-voices stop-key
limbs a halting hesitation-gestures a
