A beautiful belle, whose mother kept q
genteel clearinghouse in Amity street, New
York, induced one Of her mammals hoarders
to introduce her to fashionable frst-clasa
uptown dentist cf his acquaintance, as shs
wanted o set Of artificial teeth. Her mamma
accompanied her, and directed the dentist 10
insert them on heavy gold plates. in the high.
est style Of the art, without regard to en-
pense. On the first visit the young lady's
stumps were extracted, and soon thereafter
she had a mouthful of goId-plate and pearl
artificial teeth, which added greatly to her
natural charms snd acquired graces. But
the bill was not paid. and after q collector
had worn out some shoe-leather and exhaust.
ed his patience in trying to get pay from the
mother, the dentist related the Circumstance
to friend.
But he was very much surprised and dis-
pleased ct their conduct, and proposed to en-
gage the miss and her mamma in converea-
ton in the parlor the following morning, ad-
ding that If she did not pay him on that oc-
casion, he would pay the bill himself and
quit the house. IL was agreed that the dem
fist should call at specified hour. He called
at the time appointed. and after passing Q
few minutes in general conversation, he
changed the subject and talked business.
Mamma, Of course, professed to be very
sorry that she was unable to pay the doc
tor" but would certainly do so in few days.
As she was apparently about to depart. he
casually asked the daughter how she liked
her teeth, and che replied that they were per-
feet and pleased her very much.
I" Do they ever slip or pain you ?" kindly
asked the doctor.
Very seldom, DOCTOR" she replied
" sometimes they pinch me a little, but
suppose that can't be avoided"
"Oh, yes," said the polite dentist, pulling
pair of little nippers from his pocket. "Al-
low me to bend the plates little with nv
nippers, and it will not occur again." at the
same time holding out his hand to receive
them.
The unsuspecting maiden pulled them out
and handed them to the I" DOCTOR" who, in
stead OF nipping them with his pucers. qui.
city wrapped them up in his pocket-h andker-
chief and ,laced them in his pocket, and POI
litely but firmly told the terrified beauty that
when her mamma paid Lis bill she could have
them. but not before. As the girl was en-
gagged co be married to well-to-do young
gentleman who had never seen her without
teeth. who was expected to return to the city
and lead her to the hymeneal altar in q few
days, that bill was paid.
