Ho would also call tho particular attention
of those in want of Artificial Work\to his su-
K ' .r style of tooth, set on gold plate; for
ty, strength and lifo-like appcaeance,

been made that ray prices for dental opera

There is no sight so truly pitiable os-
thnt afi'orded by a rising family of chil

norant mot her. Wo would bo , under
stood by the use of tho term-ignorant,-
as wishing to convey the picture of a
mother whose maiden days were devo
ted to the ‘ acquirement of fashionable
accomplishments, to the exclusion of-
solid mental culture and acquirements.
The woman who reigns the queen of
the bail-room is. very seldom found ca
pable of being the governess of her Own
children ; and the time spent At soiree
and route will be bitterly regretted
wizen age brings experience and conse
quent remorse for the evil she has inflic
ted, and her incapacity to disoharge
properly the interesting and important'
duties of lior station, when it was her
natural duty to be at once an instructor
und an example. The maiden who
casts aside her book for the cotillion,
will never win the love and esteem of
a sensible man; and should she select a
partner for life among her partners in
the dance, she will find, when it is too
late, that her choice has been as unfor
tunate as tho place where she first at
tracted his notice was injudicious. We
look with pain upon that wife who en
ters upon her Becond era with fashion
able ideas of society. Her first era has
been devoted to the attainment of cer
tain rules and systems scarcely pardon
able in the girl, certainly censura
ble in the wife,- and criminal in. the
