Children’s Comet.
LITTLE /IT LITTLE.
“Little by little,” an acorn raid,
As it slowly sank in itn mossy bed ;
“I am improving every day.
Hidden deep in the earth away.”
Littio by little each day it grew ;
Little by litile it sipped the dew ;
Downward it sen*; out a thread-like root :
Up in the air sprung a tiny Hhoot,
Dav after day and year after year,
Litile by littio the leaves appear ;
And the slender branebea spread far and wide,
Till the mighty oak is the forest's pride.
“Little by little,” said a thoughtful boy,
“Moment by moment I’ll well employ,
Learning a little every day,
And not spending all my time in jilav.
And still this rule in my mind shall dwell,
‘Whatever I do. I’ll do it well.’
Little by little I’ll learn to know
The treasure I wisdom of long ago ;
one of these days perhaps we’ll seo
That the world will he the better for me."
And do you not think that this simple plan
Made him a wise and useful man 1

Backward and forward in her little
rocking chair Alice Lee, now clasp
ing her beautiful waxen doll to her
bosom, and singing low, sweet lulla
bies; then smoothing its fl ixen curls,
patting its rosy cheeks, and whisper
ing softly, ‘‘l love you, pretty dolly
and anon casting wistful glances to
ward her mother, who sat in a bay
window, busily writing. After what
seemed to be a very long time to the
little daughter, Mrs. Lee pushed aside
the papers, and looking up, said
pleasantly: “I am through for to-day,
Alice; you may now make all the
noise you choose.” Scarcely were
the words uttered ere the little one
had flown to her and nestled her
head on her loving heart, saying earn
estly :
“I’m so glad ; I wanted to love you
so much mamma."
“l>id you, darling?” And she
clasped her tenderly. “I am so glad
my Alice loves me so ; but I fancy you
were not very lonely while I wiote ;
you and dollie seemed to be having a
happy tmie together.’’
“Yes, we had mamma; but I got
tired after a while, of loving her.”
“And why ?”
“O, because she never loves me
back !”
“And that is why you love me ?
“That is one why, mamma; but not
the first one, or the best.”
“And what is the first and best ?"
“Why, mamma, don’t you guess?”
and the blue eyes grew very bright
and earnest. “It’s because you
loved me when I was too little to love
you back ; and that’s why I love you
so.”
“We love Him because He first
loved us,” whispered the mother; and
fervently she thanked God for the lit
tie child teacher.” — Canadian Baptist.

Passing down Main street, 1 saw a
little girl weeping, and said, “are you
sick ?”
“No, but 1 had to give m> little
chair to my brother.”
“Does that make you unhappy ?”
“Yes, it does.”
“May I tell you about Jesus?”
“Yes. Who is he?”
“//<• is the children's friend. He had
a beautiful chair (seat) up in Heaven,
and he gave it up, and came down
here to help us, so we would be good
to our little brothers.”
"Did he ?”
“Yes.”
"Well, I’ll let my little brother sit in
my chair, and I won’t cry any more."
Bless the child! What grown-up
child would get their lesson faster or
better. I.et us learn at the feet of a
little child, how to believe and how to
obey. —The Woman at Work.

THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST -July 11.
_ MEDILAL.
DentistrY
In view of a general reduction having
been made in the various branches of
business, as well as in the cost of liv
ing and in the price of labor of almost
every conceivable enterprise, we have
concluded to make public a corres
ponding reduction, from former prices,
in the following operations in our own
business:
GOLD FILLINGS, that have here
tofore been made at $5.00, will be re
duced to $2-50; those formerly $3.00,
to $1.50, and those at $2.00, to ONE
DOLLAR. We can say that fully
eight out of ten of all fillings made,
CAN BE DONE OF GOLD for this
amount the work being as good
in all respects as if we received five
dollars per filling; thus you see these
teeth may be saved for the amount or
dinarily charged for extracting them.
We are now making sets of teeth,
using the best makes of artificial teeth,
for from $5 to $lO.
We have recently perfected a plate
material which we think is far supe
rior to anything that has yet been
given to the public, and which, when
used, will be found the great want sup
plied.
We REFIT poorly constructed and
badly fitting sets of teeth, so that they
are comfortable and serviceable, for a
very small amount.
Such persons as may doubt that
really good operations can he done at
the figures we state, (and there are
parties who, hoping to receive twice or
three times our charges for the same
work, will help them to doubt) we par
ticularly ask to give us a trial. We
have some reputation as a Dentist, and
have made it by doing good work at as
low figures as. is consistent with thor
oughness.
Among our patrons we have such men
and their families as Mr. Sam’l Inman,
Maj. Campbell Wallace, Prof. William
Henry Peck, Dr. J. M. Johnson, Hon.
B. H. Hill, Dr. A. W. Calhoun, Rev. J.
H. Martin, and hosts of others to whom
we can refer.
Persons not living in the city, de
siring to avail themselves of our ser
vices, should write us and make en
gagements some days before coming,
or immediately upon arriving here,
otherwise they may be disappointed,
as we work almost altogether by ap
pointment.
Having office and residence connect
ed one with the other, we can offer the
comforts and security of home to those
visiting or employing us.
