HOW TO CURE A TOOTHACHE.

Some months ago an English tourist, lin
gering in country church-yard, was pres
ent at a funeral, and observed among the
group Of mourners young man, who par
ticularly attracted attention by his swollen
face, and the utter detection of his appear
ance. ."Here at least is one true mourner, :"
thought the Englishman. While this
thought was passing through his mind the
supposed mourner took up skull which lay
on the top of heap of dry mold and crum-
bled bones. He raised it to his lips, and,
with his own teeth, extracted tooth from
it. Horror filed the stranger as he watched
this proceeding, and saw him throw the
skull carelessly away, while he wrapped the
tooth in paper and put it in his pocket.
" Can you tell me why he did that?" asked
our tourist of an old man who had stood be-
side him during the funeral ceremony cay,
surely, your honor the poor boy was very
bad wi the toothache, an it's allowed to be
cure if you draw q tooth frae q skull VII
your ain teeth. He'll sew the tooth in his
clothes an wear it as long as he lives"
"You don't tell me SO! Do you think the
remedy will be effectual?" i" It's like
enough, sir" replied the old man, showing
where a tooth was sewed in the lining of
his own waistcoat. cts five years since
pulled that one the same way, and I never
had touch o. the toothache since."-AH

a house, and the programme was carefully

which he would not take thousand pounds.
In consequence of this statement the then
Lord Mayor and two of the Aldermen in

to dinner. On their arrival Mr.. Eyre de-
sired his wife to prepare the little table and
to set some refreshments before his guests.
She, after some demur, seated herself on. a
low stool and having spread q napkin over
her lap, with venison pastry on it. Simon
exclaimed to the astonished Mayor, "Be-
