With what pleasurable emotions came

With what plessursble emotions came
crowding into my mind the recoIlec:ions of
that dentist and his rooms aud its fixtures
his big easy chair, with the pretty, white
curtained window before it, and the nice,
big red glass spittoon to the left, with the
hole in the bottom, and the bis Of wet cot
ton and the bright pieces of gold and
streams of blood stained saliva on the sides.
And then the pretty little bureau With the
bottles on the top, and the little yellow
drawers which he jerks out so gently when
seeking for some new and more delicate in
strument of torture. And then the beauti-
full little round velvet-covered stand on the
gas fixtures, covered with the nice drills and
pretty flies, and the lovely little crowbars
with the stained ivory handles, and the long
steel crochet needle with which he hunts for
new cavities, and the little round paste
board box full of gold 'tplugs," and the
dirty little napkin and the rubber ball
syringe, and the singular smell of his
thumb. and all that! Oh, how nIce!--Msrk

Won Her Way.

| found here a widow lady-a Mrs.
George Peasly-at work in a marble-shop
with a number of men. She is cutting
grave-stones, taking them in the rough
the same as men. and is getting her 50
days, and puts in as much time as the
average of men. She has number OF
children. AS short sketch of her history
may be an encouragement to other lone wO-
men, give it as follows: "When her
husband died she was not able to buy a
maidstone complete, but bought marble
slab in the rough and finished it, and 1t
can be seen standing at the head OF his
grave, near the village OF Henderson,
Minnesota. She then cS=Yed some Work
and took it to a marble-wOrker in the city
of Minneapolis, and told him she was
widow with family OF children and
wanted work. The dealer examined the
work, said it was good, and that he would
give her work on two conditions. First,
she should promise not to work for any
other dealer in the city; and, secondly,
she should promise not TO open business
on her own account in the city OF Mime
apoIis. She said she would agree to TINS
if he would agree to keep her in work all
the time. But this lord of creation would
agree TO nothing of the kind. She went TO
ST. Paul and there got work without
special agreements. Finally she came TO
tnis citv, and is now in the employ Of Mr..
