HOW BEST TO PRESERVE THE
TEETH.

!
1t is probable that no department of
the healing art is subjected to more ire
quent abuses than that relating to the
treatment of teeth, and all intelligent per-
sons should know that no prlctiSer of that
specially, can be safely trusted whose
character and professional standing are
unknown 10 them. would call atten-
lion to the subject because of having
heard of recent abuses practised in this
city. The teeth should never be cleaned
by other than mechanical m ans Any
chemical agent that will act upon tartar
on the teeth will act upon and destroy
the enamel of the teeth also. Hence al
though the teeth may be made to look
very white in minute or two by the use
of acid, they soon become dIrker than
ever, to be whitened no more, and early
decay and pain ae sure to follow. In
cleaning the teeth by mechanical means
the only caution to be observed is that
they should no: be broken nor scratched,
and thai the tartar shall be so perfectly
removed that a smooth surface shall be
lef', as upon rough surface there is
sure to be fresh accumulation of tartar.
To have this done properly it is neces-
sary to- obtain the aid OF a practised
hand, with appropriate instruments. To
keep the teeth clean, when once made so,
full and soft brush should be applied
in rotary manner at least once day
with water not very cold. As often as
once week prepared chalk may be used
for dentri6ce. Wnen more than this
Is needed it is best TO obtain the assist
ance of the dentist. Charcoal, pumIce
stone, DC, wears away the teeth too Sc
verely, and indestIuctible as the first
named is, it insinu ties itself between the
gum and the neck of the tooth, which
latter, not being covered by eramel,
soon decays when thus exposed. Fill
ling and filing teeth ale operations which
no one but an educated dentist should
attempt; nor will pru lent person ever
have tooth drawn by any other hand
if dentist is near. If one is not, then
let haniy and firm person, having first
cut the gum well from the neck. embrace
the tooth as near as the root as possible
with pair OF fOrcepS. AMI extract the
tooth ust as he would exTacta nail from
a piece of furniture he would not like to
injure. For such class of teeth there
is peculiar motion in drawing; but
these none but the dentist will be likely
to remember. To relieve an aching tooth
apply drop af any essential oil or Of
lau,lauum. if yOu can get it into the cav
ity. or single drop OF ercosote, not
around the tooth but in the cavity and
having done 50. close up the cavity,
first with little cotton and then with a
little heeswax. The repeated applica
ton of such a remedy will sometime de-
stroy the sensation of the tooth but more
powerful agents for this purpose should
be applied by the dentist alone. Even
these are sometimes injurious to The
mouth when carelessly applied. Above
all, however. never trust your teeth in

MY PHILOSOPHY.

Bright things can never de,
Zen though they fade;
Beauty and minstrelsy
Deathless we're made;
What though the summer day
PASSES at eve away;
Doth rot the moons soft ray
Silence the night7
Bright things can never die,
Saith my phi osOFhy;
Phehus, though he pass by,
Leaves us the light.
Kind words can never die,
Cherished and blest;
= God knows how deep they lie
Stored in the breast,
Like ehildhood's simple rhymes
Said DER thousand Zines,
Aye, in all years and climes,
Distant and near;
Kind words can never die,
Saith my philosophy,
Deep in the soul the. lie,
God knows how dear.
Childhood can never die
Wrecks OF the past
Float on the memory
Zen to the last.
Many a happy thing,
Many daised spring,
Flow. on Times ceaseIess wing,
Far, far away;
Childhood can never die,
Saith my philosophy;
Wrecks Of our infiney,
Live on for aye
Sweet fAncies never die,
They leave behind
Some fairy legacy
Stored in the Inind-
Some happy thought or dream
Pure as days earliest beam,
Kissing the gentle stream,
In the lone glade.
Yet though these things pass by,
Saith my philosophy,
Bright thing can never die,
Zen though they fade.

find the superficial number of feet a
board contains. Multiply the length Of
the board in feet by the breadth of the
board in inches. and divide the product
by 12; the quoiient is the contents in

one end than the other. add the breadth
Of the two ends together, and the amount
for the mean breadth then multiply
this BY the length and divide BY 19 as

A few Candid Words for our Reader re-

There is no doubt about this fact that
HENRY M RICE or WILLIAM r. MARSHALL
is to be elected Delegate to Congress to-
day. No reasonable, intelligent man sup
poses that DAVID OIMsrED will receive even
a respectable vote Every man who votes
for him virtually DISTINGUISHES himself. You
might just as well threw your ballot into
the fire, as to deposit it for OLMsrED; you
would be exercising the rights of citizen
just as senSibly in the one case as the other,
SO far as any practical result is concerned.
Few men like to be non-entitieS; and no
man has right to make a CIPHER of him.
self in contest like that which is to be de-
cided to-day. There are only two sides to
this contest Fanaticisla on the one side,
and Democracy on the other To make
your vote count in determining which doc
trine shall rule our Territory, you must sup
port either Mr.. MARSHALL. or Mr.. R1cE-
1t would be the height of folly for any abo-
litionist to vote for OLMsTED, although he
has given the best evidence in the world
that he is an abolitionist ut heart-because
there is no possibility that he be elected,
and your vote would be thrown away. 1T
would be positive madness for any Demo
crat to vote for OLMsrED, because be has re-
pudiated by a hundred acts the Democratic
platform on which he was nominated, and
has thus shown himself unworthy any mans
confidence. You can only give effect to the
Democratic sentiment that is within YOU.
by casting your vote for HENRY NJ. RICE.
Let every man prove himself one thing or
the other to-day Democrat or Abolitionist.
On no account permit your personal pre-
JUDGES to make of you an OIMsrxD man, or
what is equivalent, a Nottingham.

tickets, on the ground that they were legi-

with the same hypocritical faces, and advise
you to vote for abOlitiOnist MARSHALL, and

from you, and show the integrity of your
manhood, and your political consistency, by
depositing a regular Democratic ballot.
