present proprietor wishes most particularly to recommend
to the attention of the public, is perfectly exempt from all
those acids whit;-‘.1 in general form the basis of tooth powders
in common use, and wliicli,_ although they may whiten the
teeth for a short time, must. inevitably destroy the Enamel by
their deleterious action on this beautiful covering of the
teeth. The consequence is that the Enamel which is the
shield provided by nature _to protect the spongy and nervous
intemal structure, is rapidly tzorrotled by these acid ingre-
dicnts, become more discolouredthan ever, and exposes the
inner portion of the tooth to c~_aru:s and a. rapid and certain
decay. By the use of the Bn‘ti.~_ih Antiseptic 1)mtzfricc, in the
mor 'ng, as occasion may require, with a. brush inodcrately

mancntly iuliitc, and the gums restored to that reedom from
soreness, that hardness and elllorcscencc which are the sure
tests of their healthy state, arid the best guaragitee of tpag

He was evidently a foreigner and poor.
As I sat at the opposite corner of South-
gate stage, I took a rnental iiiveutcry of his
wardrobe. A military cloak, much the
worse. for wear,_a bltic coat, the worse for
tear,_a napless liat__a shirt: neitlicr white
nor brown__a pair ofnitttlcolor gloves, open
at each tliuinb_—gray trowsers too short for
his legs and brown boots too long for his
feet. From some words that dropt, I found
that he had come direct from Pzti'is,t'o under-
take the duties of Frcncli teacher, at an En-
glish acacleniy; and his conipaiiioii, the
English classical uslicr, had been sent to
Loitd0n,to meet and c.onduct him to his
suburban tlestiimtion. I’0oi' devil, tlioitglit

pttllctl out a small wea'i.lc-btzllictl brown silk

of the foreig't'icr’s trunks. ‘It sl‘ia’iit go till

taking hold of the liuiitllc at the other end.
The good natured girl instantly let go of

right side, while her band gropctl busily titt-

had been purchased of a Jew for two pence
the year before. The poor girl i‘piic‘.ly set
down the trunk which she had again taken
up, and restored the deceitful medal to her
pocket. In the lllctlllllllflc the aritlimetical
usher had .'tri'ivcd at the gate on his way
out, but was stoped by the ciiibargo on
the ltiggagc. ‘V’liat’s the matter now I’ as-

from the interior oftlie stage. ‘Ifyott don’t

a voice from the box. At this crisis the
English ttslicr drew his fellow tutor aside,
and wliispered soinething in his car that ~
made him go tlirotigli the old manual exer-
cise. He slapped his pantaloons__flapped
his coat tails_..and felt about his boson‘i__
‘I hav’nt got one,’ said he, and with a shake
of the head and a liurried how, he set oil’
at the rate ‘of a‘ two-penny postman._

cztm riigzzitalzts, without; any iutci'i‘uption,
for neither of them had spoken a word for
at least an liottr; and that, coitsideriiig the
sex of Miss Patty, was certainly vci'y re-
inarkablc. The colonel was sitting cross-
leggcd, in It great :ii'm—cliaii',\\'itli his pipe
in one hand, newspaperiii the otlier, S})Cta-
clcs on——f:tst asleep. Illiss Patty was iiiov—
itiglicrself backward and forward in aloiv
rockiiig cliair—sittiug as straiglit. as an ar-

Puss, her paws folded gracefully under her

her satisfaction by murintiring forth a ino-

while Mr. Carlo was streticlied out at full
lei gth on the rug in front of the fire, and
like his inastcr——soniid asleep.
At lciigtli, the colonel, rousing from his
nap, took off his spectac.les,.'iiid rubbed his
eyes, then glancing them at a huge pile of
papers, that lay on the table near him,
said---yawning at the same time most cin-
patically,
"I wish Ilcnry was here, to help aboltt
my rents.’
'VVell, I really wish he was,’ answered
his sister. -
‘I can’t expect him this month, yet,’
yawned the colonel‘
‘IIadn-’t yott better send for liini,tlici1?’
said his sister.
Upon this the dog got tip and walked to-
wards the door.
Wliere are you going, Carlo?’ said the
old gentlemaii.
The dog looked in his master’s face,
wnggetl his tail a little, but never said a
word, and ptirsticd his way towards the
door, and as he could not very well open it
himself, Miss Patty got up and opened it
for him. The colonel seemed perfectly
satisfied, and was composing himself for
another nap, when the loud and joyful

‘W'Iiy, VVilliam Henry, is that you I’ said
Aunt Patty.
‘Hai'ry, my boy, Pm heartily glad to see
you,’said the colonel, getting entirely out
of his chair, and giving his nephew :1 sub-
stantial shake of the hand. ‘Pray, what
has brought you home so suddenly?’
‘Do tell," said Aunt Patty, peeking over
her spectacles. .
‘Oh I don’t kitow,’said Henry. Its rath-

‘Well, I’in deuced glad to see you---sit

‘So do,’ said his sister.
But I'Ienry, instead of doing as he was
bid, hopped out of the room, but soon hop-
pad in agttiii, with a bottle in each liaiitl,
and giving one of them to the old lady, he
said,
‘There, aunt, is a bottle offii'st-rate snnf1'

‘Thank you, my boy,’ said the colonel.

he was obliged not; to hear the questions,

‘Down, Carlo I’ shouted the colonel, a
little stcrnly; and down went the dog, with
a look so humbled and dejected that the
colonel begari to feel sorry that lie li:.id spo-
ken so cross. S0, streatcl'iin;j ottt his hand,
he patted the dog affectionatly on the head
---saying‘,
‘Why, Carlo, poor Carlo, you nectln’t
feel so had ; I only wanted you to be a little
more polite.’
Carlo pricltep up his ears, and showed
signs of i'ctt.triiing' aniniation, tliongh
he did not iinmedia-'elyrecover his spirits.
But he looked up with an expression that
scented to say, ‘You need make no apology,
sir,’ and settled liiinselfin dignified silence
under his niaste1"s chair.
In the mcaiitime, Ileitry (anxious either
wliich) had broken the seal from the top
of the bottle of cordial, and drawii the cork,
wliilc Aunt Patty got some glasses.
‘V*/ell, my boy,’ said the colonel, whose
litimor increased every moment, what is the

‘N0--yes,’ said I'Icn1'y, bursting into It

as soon as he had recovered liimself, ‘I

that you ever heard ofiiiyotir life.’
‘No I’ exclaimed his uncle with anima-

of stiuff.

‘Come, let’s have it,’ said be filling his
glass.
‘La‘ suz,’ said Aunt Patty.
‘Veil, you must know,’ said I-Iem'y,l1ard-
ly able to keep from latigliiiig, ‘that while I
was in town I met with an old and particu-
lar friend "of mine, about my own age,’
(here he stroked his beard,) ‘a confounded
cleaver fellow, very good looking, but as
poor as poverty.’ Here he tlirttst oncliaiid
iitto his pocket, and commenced jiiigliiig at
his pcnknivcs, keys, pocket combs and Ii-tlf
cent pieces. ‘Almtit two niontlis ago he fell
desperately in love with a young girl, and
wants to inni'r_v her, but dares not, witliout
the consent of his uncle, a very fine old gen-
tlcmrtii, as rich as Croesus—do take a little
cordial.’

anxious that Bill should get a wife, but he’~s
tcrriblv afraid that he’ll be taken in. Be-
cause itis g'eiicrully understood that he is to
he the old g'ct'itlenian’s heir. And for this
reason, his uncle, although very liberal in
every thing‘ else, sttspccts every yotiiig lady
that pays his nephew the least attention, of
being a fortune hunter.’ ’
‘The old rip,’ said the colonel; why can’t
be let the boy have his own way I’
‘I think as inticii said Miss Patty.’
Puss got up, stretched lierself, and began-
to sneeze.
‘Scat,’ said Miss Patty__and away went
Puss.
‘\Vcll how did he manage I’ said the co-
loncl.
“Wliy,’ said IIenry,,laugliing, ‘he was in
a confounded pickle. He was afraid to ask
his uncle’s consent right out; he could not
rnatiage to let him see the girl, for she lives
at some distance. But he knew that his
uncle enjoyed a good joke, and was an eti-
tlitisiastic admirer ofbcauty. So,wliat does
he do_liut go and have her miniature ta-
ken, for she was extremely beautiful, he-
sidcs beitig intelligent and acconiplislied.’
-‘Beautiful! intelligentl and acconiplisli-
ed I’ exclaimed the colonel,‘pray what objec-
tion could the old fool have to her I’
‘\Vhy, she is not worth a cent,’ said
I‘Icnry. .
‘Fudge,’ said the colonel; ‘I wish I had
been in the old cliap’s placc_.but how did

turned with a handkerchief filled with some
of the finest oranges that ever came over;
and handing one of them to his aunthe laid

‘VVliy didn’t he marry her at once, and
leave the rest to chance I’ asked the colonel.
‘\Vhy, you ’must know that Bill loves his
uncle as well as ifhc had been his father__
for the old gentleman has been as good as a
father to him. Sohe could not bear the idea
of getting married without trying to get his
consent. And then you see he could be mar-
ried at home, and that would just suit his
uncle, for he is mighty fond of a good
frolic now and then.”
‘He deserves to have her for that one
thing,’ said the colonel, with emotion.---
‘Shoot me, if I dont wish I had been his
uncle. Doii’t you think so, Carlol’ ad-

mcaniiig as plai iily as though he had spo-

‘La, suz I’ said Aunt Patty.
‘Positively, colonel, Itliink you have got
the finest dog in the country,’ said Henry,
patting Carlo on the head. '
Now, if there was one thing that the old
gcntlcmzzii liked better than to be called co-
loitcl, it was to have his dog praised. So
he grew warrneij and warmer, and presently
pulled otit his poc.l~:et-book. ' '

‘ ‘Why,’ said Henry, ‘ the old gentleman
was niiglitily tickled to see him, and might-
ily tickled to see the oranges. So he bade
him a hearty welcome, and asked him all
about every tzliing‘, and every body in town.~
This watsjust what Bill wanted. So, after
answering all enquiries, he takes the minia-
turc out of his pocket, and, handing it to
his uncle, asked him how he liked it—tell-
ing hiin that a paitictilai‘ friend lent it to
him. The oltl’gt:ntlcman was in an ecsta-
cy of delight, and declared he would give
the world to see a '.vom.'tn as liandsomc as
that, and that Bill might have her.’

was well come up with. The best joke I
ever heard of—bnt was she really so beauti-
