(rfVSSsSpk ly notify the citizens of UTR"V~'rT*A
’ ■l IT Tl’ Crawford and the ad- 1
joining counties, that he is now fully prepared to insert
Artificial Teeth upon any of the late and most approved
plans now practised in the il’ortliern Cities. He would
more particularly direct attention to the method Oi in
serting Teeth upon the colortd Gutta Percha base.
This article,in the Northern Citits, is now taking the
place of the continuous gum work of Dr. Allen, the block
work, tint! the gum teeih, ar.d no doubt will ultimately
supersede every other article used for that purpose.
This article combines two very important advantages
over any other articles in use. The Art is that a con
tinuous gum colored to life, may be effected, and the
last, hut not least, is, that it may be put up for half the
price charged for gold plates. Persons wearingthe Gutta
Percha need not be deprived of the use of teeth for six
or eight months, as they are when metallic plates are
used, but can have them inserted as soon as the gums
heal, after the teeth have been extracted, and can be
remodelled in a few hours, when made necessary bv tlij
absorption of the hone. AVM. J. SMITH.

IIOI’i: ON, HOPE EVER.
If the dawn of life he overcast,
With dark and wintry weather,
Without one ray to pierce the gloom,
’Twill soon be bright, “Hope on, Hope ever.”
Tho’ waves of anguish o’er thee roll.
And Love’s soft link is severed,’
Joy’s bright beams will come again
To Y hecr thy heart—“ Hop - on, Hope ever.”
If wealth has flown and adverse tides,
Make thy frail spirit quiver,
A better day will surely dawn,
And bring thee joy—“ Hope on, Hope ever.”
Tho’ death lias robbed thy loving heart,
Os thy dearest earthly treasure;
Thy Father doetli all things well,
He’ll give thee peace—“ Hope on, Hope ever.”

What shadow droops upon thy radiant eye,
Casting its depth upon thy cheek ? what thought be

Thy prattling tongue, to words of import high?
Thou thirik’st there is a solemn stilness In God’s house,

Which streams thro’ aisle—on pulpit rich , and may a

That bright and shadowy hues should tlend^themselves
and fall ‘
In gocfifvup tints upon a place so fraught
With awful Majesty; where God hiiusell doth call
Earth’s sous to worship—where lle’sftnnbly sought.
That trees skeahi grandly sweep their drooping boughs

Wooing with their gently whispered tones,
Each prostrate soul, to thoughts of peace and holy love ;
G-odis love, that heals the heart’s most bitter wounds. ’
Thou’rt right, sweet child ; the feet that ente^ - here do

On holy ground, and heads that lowly bow
Should not lorget the heart for God to all hath said
This is tny due—the heart’s most earnest vow.
And let the holy strains that fill the lofty uome
Steal on the heart like spirit tones of love,
That reach us from the choirs in Heaven, singing “come,
Oh, come, and join the seraph baud above.”

In the city of jreat Stamiiout,
Where tne fair Carinfil Hanoutn
Artfully deceived the Moslem,
And as pilgrim reached Tier Mecca :
Where tlie Defter-dar in garments
Os a Bektachy, or Dervish ;
Then again as diamond-merchant,
Loaded with attractive jewels,
Went in search of nis lost Hasson,

And from cunning viles released him :
Where the innocen* Delsaise,
By foul treachery deluded
Far away from Ildji Rp=a,
\?ith her dagger from Damascus
And her diamond-studded pistols.
Did preserve her maiden-honor;
Where th” rlefc’y.decked Khawaji
May with confidence aspire,
Even to a Pasha’* daughter.
And in turn become a Satrap.
Ask Ton, why this luck? I answer.

’Twas twilight—and I gazed upon the beauteous scene,
A landscape o’er imagination’s fancy,
While mingled clouds of light and snajjows gleam,
And cast their luriq light along the western sky.
’Twas midnight—and the stars were beaming
Their soft pale light upon a beauteous forai, -
While o’er my heart the pensive thought was stealing,
The idol of my heart—theme of my song.
Again misfortune’s cloud was mantled o’er me,
And once beat <i timely with tny own.
Had ceased to whisper accents soft and mildly,
Had left me to avert the threatening doom.
Tis thus o’er life’s tempestuous sea we’re roaming,
We learn to love the hearts soon chilled by sorrow’s

’Till riper years shall teach us e are dreaming,
While trusting to an armored heart, or broken vow.

Never comic the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs;
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them, mother, while you may.
Mother! watch the litJe baud.
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare qW question ask,
“Why to me this weary task ?”
These same little hands may prove.
Messengers of light and tpx e,

Prattling eloquent and wild,
What is said and what is sung,
By the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word, w 0,11,0 ye, unspoken,
Stop the vow before ’tis broken;
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in a Savour's name.

Wholesome lessons now impart ;
Keep, Oh keep that young heart true.

Sowing good and precious seed ;
Harvest rich you then may see,

“Lirfle Calvin, a blue-eyed, fair-haired child of
six summers, was dying, and he bade (113 father
ana mother come near the bedside tluu fib might
tell them farewell. “Mother,” said lie, .“will
you not go with me ?” “where are going my
child ” asked his mother. With his eves fixed
upward, fie answered, “To Heaven, mother,”
and in a moment was in the arms of Him w im
has said. “Suffer little children to come unto me,
and torbid them not, for of such is the kingdom
of Heaven.”
From the rosy western heaven,
Through the tinted mists of even
Up tfie putyie deeps of twilight
Slowly sailed a snowy cloud,
Coasting by the golden sky-lands,
Sweeping round the starry islands.
Sailed that barque until the zenith
Was enveloped in its shroud.
Summers six had come and parted,
Since upon that sea uncharted,
Once before came seraphs sailing
On a skv-ward tending track.
Then a leaf of God's evangel
They haq (est —a tiny angel
On thy bosom, gentle mother—
Now, they come to call it back.
AH his earthly mission ended,
On his little couch extended.
Lay he, watching with the spiri[,
As his .azure eye grew dim;
Though bv others all unnoted,
Watching where that vessel floated,
And tho wooing angels waited,
For he knew they came for him.
Many sweet “good-byes” he told ye,
Close his little arms enfold ye
Father, brother pressing near him,
Shutting heaven from his view,
But to thee he clung the nearest,
Thou the fondest, best and dearest,
As be murmured. “Oh ! my mother,
Will not you go with me too?”
“Where, oh! where, mvchild?” “Toheaven!”
Sighed the passing spirit. Even
Caught the cadence of the chorus
As the angel-barque swept on;
Sailing up the ether slowly
It has reached the haven holy
Afj4 U ea moored within the shadow
Os Jehovah’s “great white throne.”

A i*retty Love Song.
I love you —’tis the simplest way
The thing I feel to tell, ’
Yet, if I told if all the day,
You’d never guess how well.
You are my comfort and my light;
My very life von seem;
I think of you all day; all night
’Tis but of you I dream;
There’s pleasure in the lightest word
That you can speak to me,
My soul is like the AEolian chord,
And vibrates still to thee.
I never read tho fe e-song yet,
So thrilling, fond, or true,
But in my own heart I have met
Some finder thought of yoq ‘
I bless the shadow on your face,
The light upon your hair;
I like, for hours, to sit and trace
The passing changes there;
I love to hear your voice's tone,
Although you should not say
A single word, to dream upon
A hen that had died away.

What heroes from the woodland sprung,
When, through the fresh awakened land,
The thrilling cry of freedom, ruug ;
And iei ike work of warfare strung,
The yeoman's iron hand!
Hills flung the cry to hiiqi around,
And ocean-mart replied to mart,
And streams, whose springs were yet unsound,
Pealed far away the startling sound ‘
Into the forest’s, heart.
Then marched the brave from rocky steep,
From mountain river swill and cold ,
The border of the stormy deep,
The vales where gathered waters sleep,
Sent up the strong ant* bold, —
As if the very earth again
Ghjew tjyjck with God’s creating breath.
And, from the sods of grove and glen,
Rose ranks of iron-hearted men
To battle to the death.
The wife, whose babe first smiled that day,
l’he fair fond bride of yester eve,
And aged sire and matron gray,
Saw the loved, lyarriors haste away,
And deemed it sin to grieve.
Already had the strife begun ;
Already’ bloody on Concord's playa,
Akn g the’ springing grass had run,
And blood had flowed at Lexington,
Like brooks of April rain.
The death-strain on tho vernal swrj.d,
ITaßowed to freed.ojall the'shore ;
In fragments fell the yoke abhorred, —
The footsteps of a foreign land
Profaned the soil no more.

From the N. 0. Delta.
YYUc-lj Though (s.
“If I was a married woman,’’ I would
earnestly endeavor to be, in all things, truth
ful to my husband, truthful in the broad and
noble meaning of the v cyd. I would v.6t
corJdyr myself so if I merely spoke not false
ly ; there is a passive falsehood as well as ac
tive, which I would guard against with all my
strength. I seas too many wives’ are very
negligent, and I may say culpable, in this par
ticular. Domestic affairs are going wrong —
bad feelings will spring up between neigh
bors or acquaintances. I would speak to my
husband gently, m,d in reason, of these things
—why should I not ? Some will say, you
ought not annoy him with those petty cares;
he has his business difficulties to worry him.
Very true, he has, but those kind people for
get that the best dispeller of his cares, and
the sweetest reward to him for encountering
them, are his comfortable home, and the
thoughtful attention and affectionate kindness
and cheerfulness of his wife. She cannot be
so, if those troubles do not a little worry her;
and moreover, I know w ell, if I had a good
husband, it waiffd igake l,is’ heart heavier to
notice the shadows on my face, and grieve at
my want of trustingness in not speaking to
him of the cause. It is false wisdom that
would teach us to keep t.ex-e griefs to our
selves ; from thinking we tire acting rightly
in saving him from such annoyances, he is
free directly; but, indirectly, they are felt,
and oftentimes much \,tJ’se. It is a good old
proverb which says, “two heads are better
than one.”’ So should I also seek to know
the causes of my troubles, and I
would strive to make them lighter by gentle
counsel and loving sympathy.
“If I was a married woman” I would not
be culpably untruthful to my husband. If
any dear friends were to utter 1 courteous
sneer at any (to them) eccentric way of my
husband, 1 v Quid decisively but quietly show
them that I considered it “none of their busi
ness.” If tiny good natured acquaintances
inshjuatud a reproach against him for acting
or appearing in some way they badly
of, I would very soon let them know that I
saw my husband with my own eyes, not with
theirs. If he was in debt, no ring but one—
at any time all-suficient—should deck my fin
gers ; no jewelry should glitter about me with
ts borrowed light; no silks nor perfume would
silently reproach me for my thoughtlessness.
Someone says, “Show my one who is blind
to her husband’s faults, and I will show you
a happy woman. ’’’ I would not be blind to
my husband’s faults, but would dare ar t y ot,e
to obtain from me a knowledge of that per
ception. What! I speak flippantly or slight
ingly of the short comings of him I had
plighted my sacred promise to honor? No;
with a persevering Slid hopeful spirit, and
with fondest endeavor, would I perform what
would be to me a “labor of love,” using my
best influence against the temptations and se
ductions of a world—erring enough, God
knows, 1 but rendered so more from want of
recollection ami pitiful circumstances, than
from innate badness.
I xyouhl not thick it right, as most of us
are taught, to consider ourselves very griev
ously wronged if our husbands are not per
fect, and what ever pains they might take to
make us better and truer-hearted, we should
make no effort in’ this work in this regard,
but look for consolation to the ready sympa
thy of our dear friends, of whom so many
delight to gaze on any kind of a household
“skeleton,” and exert themselves in such a
cause in our behalf so eagerly, but so greatly
to the detriment cf their amiability. For
though man, it is said, ought (why ?) to pos
sess more moral strength than woman, yet I
think the allurements abroad for him to what
is foolish and vicious, are fur greater than
should beset us, for the married woman’s
1 world ought surely be her home, where “no
tiling defiled’ should enter.
H I was a married woman,” J would be

word, which brings up virions of joyoasuess
and calm delight, and the sunniest auticqKi

more musically to my heart;) no ser

for him. k l was
no; his appearance would not be the signal
to me to hurry-scurry ta the dierq. er
ter a shrill query to cook— the tinkle of a bell
and the pre-arranged ready response would
do much better. And when tea hour came,
and with it my own one, I should have a lire*
blazing brightly, and throwing itsrucjly and
pleasant glow over the rooin, (no other light
until tea was ready',) and I would have nice
warm slippers for him, for his big boots might
hurt my tittle feet, as I would not sit skatcly
opposite him, nor even ceremoniously beside
him ; indeed I wouldn’t. And after tea, no
mysterious occupations would take me from
the parlor. I would have our favorite books
around us. Oh ! what a grand time we wo*JA
have with our dear old books, and new ones,
too—books that would tell us of the greatness,
aqd the glory, and the beauty of our own and
other lands; that w quid, tejj its of w ffrfef
men and noble women. I would read to him
the vigorous y r et quaint and genial utterances
of fyO olden writers, and the heart-speakings
of loving souls. Music and “sweet melodies”
would often wake the home echoes; and truy ,
warm-hearted and congenial friends would
be ever welcome at oty ftresidb. The work
of .artist hands should deck the walls—sonny 7
landscapes that would remind us of the gar

hope of tvs noble and grand humanity as poets
ever imaged. Beautiful ornaments would
find a j lace* for ‘ “a thing of beauty is a joy 7
forever.” And what married woman of tig:

all these things that give the purest delight?
or might not be all that would i.giye her

A THRILLING ROMANCE OF MYSTERY AND DEATH.

CHAPTER 111.
A voice suddenly fractured the solemn si
lence. ’Twas that of Sigelindo,
“How blest wereT,” said he “could I only
pour forth all my soul in tears, and till my life
into thy innermost life, and then die!”
But she lifted up her tear-blossomed eyes
to the mo.on lilunAiAd leaves of the west
wind berustled jessamine boughs, (for even
the commonest readers are aware that hovers’
invariably sit among jessamine leaves,) and
she softly lisped again, “Why would Tbe
without thee! if thou wort not, I also would
not be 1 ”
CHAPTER IV.
“A Heaven, a world, a wide eternity lies
in thy word:!” cried Sigelindo. Loud, and
frcnß a neighboring swamp melodious ran the
gentle vesper hymn of
there were no nightingales to he scared up in
“them diggins.”
“Yes, dearest Sigelindo. But thou know
est not as yet,” cried Eulalia, (Eulalia was her
name, for ’twas thus they had baptised her,)
“that my uncle withholds his assent for our
marriage.’’
chapter v.
At the word marriage, Sigelindo suddenly
wilted down—trembled—wept long and
wildly, and put on his hat as if about tc travel.
But the frqgg guacked wildly on.
But Eulalia felt like staying a little longer,
and thrilling with agonized emotion, she
screamed in a scarcely audible whisper, ‘Wilt
thou begone? It is not yet near day; it was
the nightingale and not the lark that pierced
the fearful hollow of thine ear; rightly she
sings on yon pomegranate tree; believe me
love, it was the nightingale.”
CHAPTER VI.
He staid, A fearful pause ensued. Eula
lia softly wailed.
“Wherefore wailest thou? said Sigelindo.
‘Naught remains for us save death!” gash
ed Eulalia.
He bowed assent, and with stern determi
nation of a Seneca, and with the courage of a
Saevela drew from his bosom—his poems—
his celebrated “Songs of Tears,” and began
to read in melancholy tones.
At page 190, Bth line, Eulalia had wept
herself to deahf But the frogs quacked on.
“Why is my heart untouched” he cried in
the words of Fernando: “will ir T y yotithful
vigor preserve me ? Thankless pain!
But he read on to number 349, 4th verse,
and then his eyes gave out and his soul caved
in, apd lie sank lifeless oh the bosom of Eula

Fooled.— A habitual drunkard having in a
dream found a cup of excellent wine, set a
bout warming it,- tp enjoy it with a gusto;
but as he was about to quaff the delicious
draught he awoke ! “What a fool I am,” said
he. “Why was I not content to drink it
cold ?”
It is a singular fact that a woman cannot
look from a precipice of any magnitude with
out pecoming dizzy. But, what is still more
-angular, the-dizziness departs the very mo

waist to “keep her from falling.” Queer,

I .mi dan uin ami Chloroform.
The Alton, (III.) Courier contains mel
ancholy account of a lady who unitentional-
eo.uuiuy.ed sjyipitig ’ey 7 fee use of chloro
form. She used laudanum habitually, and
her friends perceiving that it was destroying
| her both mentally and physically, prevented
1. or from siippliing herself S)e took chlo
roform as a substitute, and death was the
consequence.
It is net perhaps generally snown. alt no’
allusion lias been frequently made to the
fact in the newspapers, that the use of opi
um, in various forms, is very common in the
United States. There are probably hun
dreds of individuals i’l Columbia who are
habitual’ consumers of’ opinion. Some take
the gum,jothers morphine, others laudanum,
and without that stimulant are perfectly
wretched. The appetite in many, if not in
every case, has Itfeqh created py fee physi
cians, who have fed it until it has become
strong and overpowering. Many would
gladly give it up, but whenever (hey under
take it, the misery i, so great that they
would risk body and soul to get relief.—
None but those who have experienced the
worse than death pangs the slaves to opium
experience when they attempt to break off
its ha'pjtmd use, can fotra the slightest idea
of the agony of mind and body they must
endure.
Is there no remedy short of breaking off
suddenly, and g the purgatory they
have (o pass through ? If nO4, we fear few
will be rescued from its baleful influence,
but will go on from day to day, and from
year to year, increasing the quantity bl* the
poisonous ding, miffing their body and
ftfejtl, anil at ‘last,, a-aitl s<sc.;es of convulsions
and horror unspeakable, sink into untimely
graves. Next to drunkenness, of all depra
ved appetites, the habitual opium eater has
the worst aud most dangerous. If there is
any escape, that individual who will find it
out and make it public, would confer a
great public blessing.— Col. S. C Tina.,

A Good One. —We like a good joke, even
if it hits us or our and therefore give
place to the following yarn gotten up by tin 7
Columbus (O.) Fact, fanciful though itlnay
appear:
A political story wa.s told in onr hearing
the other evening, by an old Whig, which
we do not remember ever having seen in
print. Os course we do not vouch for its
truth in every particular;
A few years since a party of very (tistin
g*# Southern jdawters, two of whom were
Democrats and one a Whig, being on a visit
to the North, were invited about election
time to dine at the house of a \yeaUby, aris
tocratic, and withal very beautiful lady in
southern Ohio. After being seated at the
table, which was luxuriantly spread with all
the del.cacies which wealth could command,
a large burly negro'game in and seated him
self di recti/opposite the gertl'emen at ta
ble,
The gentlemen were too well bred to no
tice the intruder at the time, but immedi
ately upon his frffn the room,
one of them remarked to the lady:
“What could have induced you to insult
us by the presence of a negro at your ta
ble?” ’ ‘
“Why, gentlemen, he is my husband!” re
plied the lady.
“Your husband!” exclaimed the three
simultaneously, with unfeigned astonish
ment.
“Yes; my sister first ruined our family
pride in marrying, and I resolved to equal
iter. This colored man was wealthy, aud so
I married hlfe.’*
“Pray, who did your sister marry?” ask
ed one of the party.
“Why, she married a Locofoco, and I
have qeyer been able to hold my head up
since!”
The two Locofocos mftde an excuse for
cutting their visit short. They endeavored
to keep the joke a secret, but the Whig
would tell, and so the “story got ouL”

Messers. Editors: —Coming up the river
from Mobile a short nine since, I met an
old plahter rather talkative from frequent
visits to the Hall of Bacchus. IJe had been
enlarging on the subject of a flock of Merino
sheep; \7hjch were, accordinglo his account>
of greater value to him than all his plan
tation. Finally, he wound up his yarn about
his sheep, his cotton and corn crops, his
neighbors, and the neighborhood generally,
as follows:
“I reckon I have got about the noisiest
flies on my place that can be found in the
whole State, and I reckon I tan go odds agin
the world.’’ “ ‘ ‘’
“How’s that’”
“\\ ell, I’ll tell you. Last summer I had
a nigger who got a notion in his head of go
ing off every Saturday night and stopping
till Monday, and sometimes three ot- four
days. I licked him two ‘or three times, but
it was no use—go he would whenever he
had a mind to. At last I thought I Would

How to liaise Fine Peaebes.
The management and profits of John Lough
rtfs Peach Orchard.
M e have, on several occasions, spoken of
the very superior peaches raised by our
friend, John Loughry, of Adams Cos., and we
are happy in being able to furnish our rea
ders with the following account of his mode
of managing his peach orchard, and the re
sult of the same, as furnished by him to the
editors of the State Journal, while he was at-’
tending the State Fair:
‘‘Mr. Loughry s *hrm Is on the Ohio river,
;in the southeast part of Adams Cos. The
bottoms, on the river, are narrow, and the
country, back, is very rough, with high hills,
covered with timber. Freestone rocks and
quarries abound. On the highest of these
hills, overlooking riVer*and the valley,’
he has cleared off eleven acres, and ten years
ago set the tract out in peach trees. He
took special pains to procure the best varie
ties to be found in the Union, and graduated
them so thaf they would ripen from early
in July till the close of the peach season. /
W e learn from him. that his eleven acres
of peaches this year will bring him the sub
stantial sum of fire thousand dollars or near
ly five hundred dollars an At the
present time, when ordinary - peaches are sel
ling for from twenty-five cents, upward, in
Cincinnati, his peaches readily bring 1 two 1
dollars per bushel The present season has
been very prolific, and his peaches have been
unusually fine and large.
Mr. Boughry stated to us the manner he
treated his fruit. \Y hen the peaches had
arrived the s ze of a he employ
ed a large force, and put in one hundred and
eighty-five days’ work in picking off the ex-*
cess of fruit. Probably, more than three
fourths of the fruit then on the trees was
carefully removed. Each limb was taker,
by hand, and where within a space of 18 in-!
ches there would be perhaps twenty-five
peaches, but live of the fairest ones would
be leit to ripen. By carefully removing all
but the strongest specimens, and’ throwing
all the vigor of the ’ trees into them, the
peaches have ripened early, and are remarka
ble for size and excellent quality. ‘
Mr. Loughry sajs Ins’ trees are now in
full vigor. lie keeps them trimmed in, and
annually removes about one half the wood
that is formed. He ujps a compost and o
mits nothing, to bring them to perfection.
His nett profit from this eleven acres, this
year, will be between three* and four thous
anel dollars. He is iboiit extending his
grounds, and will put out fifteen acres in
peaches, and a quantity in pears, apples Ac.
Ilis example in the fruit line is worthy the
imitation of others. Tpcsd peaches are sent
by steamboat to Cincinnati, and from tha£
point are sent by railroad tc Cleveland, Buf
falo, Detroit, and other places.— Ohio Cul *.
Plant atirape Vine.
Every person who has the control of a
square rod of ground whereupon plants may
grow, can scarcely do better than to set a
grape vine of the Concord, Isabella, or Di
ana varieties. The first cost is trifling and
the aicer-cara of them more of a pleasure
than a task Tne grape is not only palata
ble and nutritious for those who are well, but
is exceedingly gratefnl to the sick, giving
tone to the digestive organs, and healthy
action to the alimentary canal. y
