why don't you have your teeth at
tended to p is question which pcrhap'
many of my readers have had asked then
many times: and generally the reply wa:
=" OA | dread it so mlea-it hurt,
50 ~


Now, | wish to say 4 few words abou
this terrible hurting, and dread Of having
operations performed upon the teeth
And my object is, if possible, to remove
this dread and apprehension from your
minds, as | feel confident that | shall be
doing a service to any one who may thus
i be induced to place himself in thc hand
of competent dentist, should any sucl
service be required.


Ii people generally could realize how
much suffering they would avoid, BY
timely attention to the filling of theil
tceth-cven allowing that it does hurt a:
much as is generally fcared-there wouit
be no necessity for the writing of such al
article as this. Bat few people d real
ize this, and so | am going to try, as
said before, to lessen your dread OF thes(
very necessary operations.


Don't you all know that the dread o
suffering is always greater than the suit
ering warrants, when it comes?


Did any of you ever have pain tc
bear, which you beforehand was coming,
that you did not lind very much less wher
it did come, than you feared +?


Anticipation always magnifes sensa
tions, both of pleasure and pain and this
is particularly true with regard to suffer
ing, as connected with dental operations
The patient has such great dread
cherished, perhaps, for long months-o
having anything done to his teeth, that
finally, when he makes up his mind to
submit to the necessary operations, hi
/ imagination is 50 wrought upon, that he
really does suffer, though the dentist has
not, perhaps, inflicted bit OF real pain


How frequently do patients start an-
shrink under the dentists hands; whet
upon being asked if they suffer from pair
they rcply-"No but | thought it wa
going to hurt :" This is the very thing
you should avoid! You must not think
"it's going to-" and geaerally you will fine
that it don't.


Now, as to the real pain attending tht
operation Of ilIing teeth, you may be sure
that it is not very great, aud it will gen
orally be found, that where the teet.
scem unusually sensitive at the first touch
that the scst cut Of the instrument re
moves the most tender portion Of th'
tooth, and the rest OF the operations il
conducted with comparatively little pain


And he e let me say. that you should
always employ do4tist in whom you cal
place confidence, as otherwise you vii
suffer more from apprehension, if not from
real pain. besides doing both yourself anc
the dentist an injustice.


A skillful dentist who has the confidence
of his patient, operates much more rapid
!ly, and with far less pain to the patient
than the he possibly could do, were tn,

sufficient vigor. History has stripped his
conduct ofany such worthy motive, and
shown that the real trouble was his anxiety
to supplant Mr.. Perceval At the same
time the attack was kept up in the opposite
quarter. "No man in his senses,n said Sir
Francis Burdett, 'could entertain hope of
the final success Of our arms in the Penin-
snla. Our laurels were great but barren,
and our victories, in their effects, mere de

Of the Spanish war, public opinion, at first

of the opposition, at leugth smoke through
all its organs, in tones of dependency and
despair, of the situation and prospects of
the country, and simply because there had
not been that sort of military success which
it could understand, to sustain and direct it,
Universal distrust seized upon the public
mind, and had it not been for the heroic
constancy of that great commander, whose
task in supporting the Ministry at home
was at least as Difficult as that Of beating the
French in Spain, the gloay of England had
sunk forever.

The opposition attitude of the peace Dem
Oerats Of the North has a further signif-
cance than its aid to the rebels. 1t is also
directly inBitiag foreign interUentiOn. The
Paris correspondence Of the New York
Times writes under date Of January SOth,
that whatever answer Mr.. Seward might
make to the commissioners proposition Of
NJ Drouyn de LHuys, it is almost certain
that the efforts, or more properly speak
ing, the intermeddling of the French Gov
eminent, will not stop here. They will
not 60 to the extremity of an armed inter-
vention, ulless melted to it By the attitude Of
the Democratic party in the North but they
may be led TO recognition Of the South,
il, by that recognition, there is any hope
Of discouraging the North to the extent of
giving up the contest. The position Of the
French Government may be summed up
thus: They desire peace, and are, as near
as may be, Indifferent as to whether there
is a reunion or final separation between
the two sections To obtain this peace
there is no need of addressing them
selves to the South, for, since the
Emancipation Proclamation Of President
Lincoln, the South is obliged to resist
either to success or to exhaustion. Nei-
ther is it worth while to look to Mr.. Lin
coin for concessions, for he, too, is bound
to persevere in putting down the ereb eIliOn.
1t is, therefore, to the factious and dissat-
isfed people in the North that the French
Government looks for cooperation in this
work, and it is for this reason that wheH-
euer Mr.. SqNZsbzy or Mr. VaEJaHdigham
rises up OF sits do10n IN Congress, the Euro
psan telegraph has tremor Of jog, and all
the suffering nations are made to hear the
joyous fact in the least possible space of
time. 1t is for this that every movement
Of the Democratic party is watched with
the same interest as a mariner watches the
needles of barometer, and that for the
French the important part of each dispatch
from America is that which relates to
what we have q right to call treason in
the North.

It is now known that the reported break
ing Of the blockade at Charleston was a
canard, manufactured expressly for the
European steamer which sailed from Bos-
ton on the same day that the New York
Herald published the rebel dispatches. It
is gratifying, in this connection, to read
the following, from the New York Evening
Post;


aLet us add, for the consolation of those
who still fear the effect of these reports
abroad, that SO certain did we feel Of the
correctness Of our views, that We took
care to send out by the same steamer which
bore the rebel dispatches, summary for
believing them what they are now proved
to be, false in spirit, and for the most part
in letter. Thus the sntidote vent with

In forming an opinion as TO the prob
able prices fer the produce Of this year,
there must be taken into account some
elements not usually affecting the course
of trade. First there is the continuation
Of the war, the effect Of which has been
largely felt, and upon which very mate
rally depends the state Of the markets.
The present prospects are full Of hope
FOR its successful termination at no dis
tant day. The recent glorious victories
have so restored confidence, that gold,
which at one time stood at 10 aud over,
has fallen to l25, and few are eager to
speculate in it at that figure. The ef-
feet of this will, Of course, be to reduce
the price Of wheat, but with it other com
modilies to be purchased by the former
must fall in equal ratio, which will
compensate fof the apparent loss. At
the rate Of exchange with foreign coun-
tries follows the fluctuations in the pre-
cious metals, all imported goods will be
subject to a falling off in market value,
so that the diminution in this direction
need not be counted as unfavorable, but
rather the contrary. The accumulated
stocks OF foreign wares will be rapidly
pressed upon the markets, and ensuing
competition must still further depress the
figures at which they are held.


From all the information We have re-
ceiyed, we judge the wheat crop to be
about an average one, and as large
breadth was sown, there is prospect of a
good supply. The haryests abroad ap-
pear to be an improvement upon those
of the previous two years, which will
have the tendency to somewhat lessen
the expectation. But the political as
poets of Europe are such that the whole
course Of foreign trade may bo entirely
revolutionized within few months, or
even weeks. Should a general war
convulse the Continent, the demand for
breadstuH5 from this side Of the water
must greatly increase before the close of
the year, and everything must go up with
rapidly. The uncertain feeling on this
suIJeCl eygu nov Influences thv gcuvl ~
market.


From a survey of the whole field i:
would appear that there will be at least
remunerative if not high prices for what
provisions the farmer may have TO sell.
There is not, we judge, anything to ia
vor holding on in anticipation Of any
great rise in value. Wool will probably
continue firm, not perhaps maintaining
the unprecedented rate it has attained
during the year, but yielding returns
that should satisfy wool-growers, except
perhaps those who embarked in the bust
ness at The height of the tide, hoping to
realize almost an Independent fortune.
The producer who keeps his accounts
that he can calculate at what figure be
can afford to sell his commodities, and
who, year by year, dispo5e5 Of them
when that figure is reached, will in the
long run show better balance-sheet
than he who trusts to occasional sudden
rise of prices to ensure him large profits.

Furious when child, wife,
