IIo would also oall the particular attention

they are not surpassed. As an impression has
boon made that my prices for dental opera

as charged by Dentists at Augusta, Macon

ges are as follows:
Entire Sots Upper and Lower from $100 to $2fit;
Half Sets, Upper or Lower, from 50 to 150
Temporary Sets, Upper and Lower, 25 each.
Partial Sets in proportion to tho above.
As I am well posted in all tho late improve

A Strange Romance in Renl Life—
What a Ring Prevented—A. Father
Narrowly Escapes Marrylng his own
Daughter. ' v ‘,; _i..Mi
Some 17 years ago, a young and in
telligent man married an acoompllshed-
Germangirl in Rochester, N. Y. He
hod, before his marriage, unfortunately
contracted an .intimacy with some of
the fast men of that city, and; shortly
after his marriage ho was suspected of
forgery. The suspicion was to strong
against Dim, that he fled. Hla wife
never heard of him afterwards. She
.rebirth to a child about a year after
_ eir marriage. She died when the’
child was.-some six years old, and oh.
ter death-bed, gave it to a German famg
ly, who had been her.friends for a long
time. This family moved to thl« city
when the child was about seven years
old. The family, after they had,resided
here six months, had some .property to
fall to them in the Gorman ’ States - -of
Hanover,’ and concluded to go there
anclspond the remainder of their days.
They, went, leaving little Christine, the
child, with a worthy German named;
Klingenheifer, He took her into his
family and adopted her-as his child.—
Ho gave, her all the opportunities of
education that his limited means wo.uld
permit, and the child became a beauti
ful and intelligent girl.
About six weeks ago a gentleman ar
rived 'in the city m>m the Mexican
State of Sonora. Mr v Klingonheifer,
seeing his name upon a hotel register,:
sought him out for the purposeeof gain
ing some information of a brother of
his, who lives in Sonora. It so happen
ed that the gentleman knew Mr. K.’t
brother perfectly well—they were tried
and warm friends—and an intimacy
naturally sprang up .between him and
Mr..K. He visited Mr. K.’s house and
there met the young lady Christine.—
They became friends and subsequent
visits ripened their friendship into love.
He offered her liis hand in marriage,
which was accepted. He had -lived in
Sonora for several years, and had been
connected with many of the revolu
tions [of that singularly revolutionary
country, ti-king sides with the Liberals.
The present government of-that unhap
py State is not ‘'Liberal," and the gen
tleman was rocently exiled by Gavalan-
do, the Governor. The gentleman had
no difficulty in proving all this, Re
sides, he had plenty of money,
Monday last was.settted Upon as the
kredding day.
Sunday, while he was viBiting the
young lady, his attention was directed
to a locket ring which she wore upon
one of her fingers. He laughingly ask
ed her whose miniature the locket con
tained, and she told him it was that of
her deikl mother. . He. looked at it and
became deathly pale. He knew the
miniature was that df his wife, and felt
sure that-the girl by His side was his own
daughter, though he had never, before
supposed he hacl a child upon earth.—
The mingled pain and pleasure he felt-
pain at the thought of the frightful act
he had been about to oommit, and pleas
ure at his most happy escape—cannot
be described.
- His daughter, after the shook which
the discovery qaused her bad passed
away„wn3 over-joyed at meeting her
father.
News had reached him, .while he was
in South America, of his wife’s death.—
When exiled from Sonora, he deter
mined to reach Rochester and endeavor
to dear up the suspicion against him.—
He knew that he was innocent. He
traveled under an assumed name,, but. it
had been htB intention to impart the
secret to Christine ere the marriage cere
mony was performed. She, it, will bo
borne in mind, had. adopted the name
of Klingenheifer, and the gentleman
had supposed she was Mr* K.’s own
daughter.
Iln was happy to learn, os he did from
his daughter, who had roceiyed the in
telligence from her mother, that all sus
picion against him in regard to the for
gery in Rochester had been entirely. al
layed, years, ago, by the oonfesstofr • of
the guilty party. - ; .
He will go west with his daughter,
and settle there.
We get theso particulars from a relia
ble source, but we do not learn bow the
exile exeuses himself for never advising
his unhappy wife of bis whereabouts.

of Thackeray and Tennyson are linkdfl
together by especial danger to the two)
In the last number of “Blackwood ”we
read:—
“There was a time when it was con
sidered a species of ‘simony’ to take
money for the inspirations of genius.—
Nobody would take tho money who was
not compellV to it. and there was asort
of degradation in the act.”
But, see how simony has become a
glory l It is told to the honor of Thack
eray and Tennyson, in the newspapers
of to-day, that they get. more far their
works qf genius than any other tnen—
Thackeray one thousand-two hundred
and fifty dollars for monthly salary os
Editor of the “Cornhlll Magause,” and
Tennyson the same sum for a single
poem of one hundred lines to be pub
lished in the same periodical 1 Truly,
