Why Amer.c. .ns Have Bad Teeth.

The proceedings Of the late annual con-
yentlon vi the American Dentists are,
IN our opinion, as fraught with interest
aud as pertinent to the happiness ani
veal of the nation as those OF any politi-
cal convention, to say the least.
Unuuestlonably the strength tnd sound
ness of the teeth of Americans are below
those of Europeans. We do not claim
anv imaculatc excellence for those Of the
latter, but compared with the former,
they are better Ii there were any prooi
wanting to verify this position, IL would
be found in the proverDlal excellence oi
American dentists. Here, in this coun.
try, has the profession been recognized
as positive, admirable and honorable
\ above the stain OF ambulent quackery
/ and the great attention gwen SO tcchni
/ cally TO the teeth, with the coinciden
improvements III Dentistry, Is due sinl
pIy to the fact that feeble, carious tectl
abound. Hence, investigations have IN
yo!ved new lights, and, and raised tn
profession in proportion to the skill an
learning bestowed on IT,

A HEART FOR EVERY ONE.
ny rIIARIES SWAIN.

BY CHARLES SWAIN.
OH there's heart for every one,
If every one could find it;
Then up and seek. ere youth Ii gone,
Whatc'er the toll ne'er mind it
For if you chance to meet at last
With that one heart intended
To be a blessing unsurpassed,
Till life itself was ended,
How would you prize the labor done,
How grieye If you'd reSign'd it;
For there's q heart for every one,
If every one could find it.
Two hearts are made, the angels say,
To suit each other dearly;
But each one takes different way
A way not found SO clearly!
Yet though we seek. and seek for years,
The pains is worth the taking,
For what the life Of home endca:s
Like hearts of angels making!
Then haste, and guard the treasure won,
When fondly you've enshrined it;
For there's heart for every ono,
If every one could find it !!

OLD MAIDS.


Old maids are not such curious things
As some would like to make them.
But whether strange or Orthcrwise,
Depends on how we take them.
For use them well, and you will find
Them ever friendly, always kind.
But wo. the man who dares to impose
Upon Hn old maids candor,
For he will get double dose
OF womnn's weapon-slander,
No words too bitter 10 express
Her hatred or her hatefulness.
No character e'er comes amiss,
All pass their tongues perusal,
And of the mnrringcable men
They've had the first refusal.
That is--if you believe their story true
And if you don't, why then we pity you
