Jfiisrtilimif. The Mississippi Patent Flan for Pulling Teeth ,T TIIK AUTHOR UT , l had fust finished the la* volume of Wistar’s Anatomy, well mg > coming to a period m y S elf with „ nf the same lime, and weariness ai 11 , . . with fret well braced up on the mantel-piece, was lazily surveying the closed volume which lay on my lap, when a hurried step in the front gallery aroused me from the revery^ into which I was fast sink ing. Turning my head as the office door opened, my eyes fell on the well developed proportions of a fl itboaisman who entered the room wearing a countenance, the expression of which would seem to indicate that lie had just gone into the vinegar manufacture with a fine promise of success. ‘Do you pull teeth, young one? said he to me. ‘Yes, and noses too,’ replied I fingering my slender moustache, highlv indignant at the juvenile appellation, and bristling up by the side of the huge Kentuckian, till 1 looked as large as a thumb-lancet by the side of an amputating k n i fe. ‘You needn’t get riled, young doc, 1 meant no insult, sartin, for my teeth are too sore to ’low your hoots to jar them as Iswallered you down. 1 want a tooth pulled, can you manage the job ? Ouch! critn iny, but it hurts !’ ‘Yes, .sir, I can pull your tooth. Is it an inci-or, or a dens sapien tiae ? one of the decidua, or a per manent grinder?” ‘lt’s a sizer, I reckon. It’s the largest tooth in mv jaw, anyhow, you can see for youself,’ and the Kentuckian opt ning the lower half of his face disclosed a set of teeth that clearly showed that his halt of the alligator lay above. ‘A molar requires extraction,’ said I, as he laid his finger on the aching fang. *A molar ! well, I’ll be cus't but you doctors have queer names for things! I reckon the next time I want a money-puss a molear will be extracted too; ouch! What do you ax for pulling teeth, doc? 1 want to get rid of the pesky thing. ‘A doilar, sir,’ said I, pulling out the case of instruments and plac ing a chair for him. ‘A dollar! dollar h—III do you think the Yazoo Pass is full of kegs of .'Speshy? I’d see you smashed tin nier a hogshead of pork ’fore I’d give you a dollar to pull the thing;’ .and picking up his hat, which he bad dashed on the floor on his first •entrance, off he started. Seeing some fun in store, I wink ed at the rest of the students, whom the loudness of our conversation had called from the other room of the capacious office and requested the subject to return. ‘lt’s no use, stranger; I'd squirm all day fust’fore I give you a dollar to pull every tooth in my head said he. ‘Well Mister; times are hard, and I’ll pull your tooth for half a dol lar,’ said I determined if necessary, to give him pay before I would lose the pulling of his tooth. “You’ll have to come down a notch lower, doc. I wants to in troduce Kentuck fashions on a Southern site; and up thar, you can get a tooth pulled and the agur ’scribed for, fur a quarter.’ ‘Well, hut recollect, its harder to pull teeth here than it is in Ken tucky.’ ‘Don’t care a cuss;dimes is plent yer. I don't want to be stingy, though, floe, and I’ll tell you what I’ll do. 1 feci sorter bad from eatifi’ a mud cat yesterday. I’ll gin you a quarter to pull my tooth, if you’ll throw in a dose of castor ile.’ ‘lt’s a bargain,’said I. ‘1 couldn’t possibly afford to do it so low if I didn’t manufacture my own oil, and pull teeth on the “‘Mississippi patent plan,’ without the least pain.’’ ‘Well, I’se struck a breeze of luck, sure, to get it ’stmeted without hurtin,’ for I’speeted it would make all things pop, by hoecake.’ And ‘all things did pop,’ certain, as the poor devil found to his sorrow, be fore the ‘Mississippi patent plan’ was over. The room in which we were was the operating one of the office,* where patients were examined, and surgical operations were performed. It was furnished with the usual ap pliances of such an establishment. In the middle of the room, secure ly fastened to the floor by screws, was a large arm chair, with head board and straps, to confine the bo dy and limbs of patients while the operator was at work, in such cases as required it. On either side of the house, driven into the wall, were a couple of iro tl bolts, to which were fastened blocks and pulleys, used when reducing old dislocations, when all milder means had failed. The chair, pulleys, and a small hand vice were the apparatus intended to be used by me in the extraction of the Kentuckian’s tooth, by the ‘Mississippi patent plan/ The patient watched all our pre parations—for I quickly let tha other students into the plan of the intended j< ke—with great interest, and seemed hugely tickled at the idea of having his tooth pulled witlfout pain for a quarter, and a dose of castor oil extra. Everything being ready, we invi ted the subject to lake his seat in the operating chair, teliing him it was necessary, agreeably to our mode of pulling teeth, that the body and arms should be perfectly quiet; that other doctors, who hadn’t bought the right to use the ‘patent plan,’ used the pullikins, whilst 1 operated with the pulleys. I soon had him immovably strapped to the chair, hand and foot. Introducing the hand vice in his mouth, which, fortunately for me, was a large one, 1 screwed it fust to the offending tooth then connecting it with the first cord of the pulleys and intrusting it to the hands of two experienced assistants, I was ready to com mence the extraction. Giving the word, and singing, ‘Lord, receive this sinner’s soul,’ we pulled slow- Iv, so as to let the full strain come on the neck bones gradually. Though [ live till every hair on rnv head is as hollow as a dry skull, I shall never forget the scene. Clothed in homespun of the cop peras hue,impotent to help himself, his bodv immovably fixed to the chair, his neck gradually extending itself, like a terrapin’s emerging from its shell, his eves twice their natural size, and projected nearly oit of their sockets, his mouth widely distended, with the vice hid den in its cavity, and the connexion of the rope being behind his cheeks, giving the appearance as if we had cast anchor iri his stomach, and were heaving it slowly home, sat. the Kentuckian, screaming and cursing that we were pulling his head off without moving the tooth, and that the torment was awful. But I coolly told him ’twas the usual way the ‘Mississippi pa tent plan’ worked, and directed my assistants to keep up their steady pull. I have not yet fully determined, as it was the first and last experi ment, which would have come first his head or the tooth, for all at once the rope gave way without much order or arrangement, the assistants falling into the corner of the room. The operating chair not being as securely screwed down as usual was uptefrn by the shock of the re trograde motion acquired, when the rope broke,and landed the Ken tuckian on his back in the most dis tant side of the room ; as lie fell, be struck the side of his face against the wall, arid out came the vice with a large tooth in its fangs. He raged like one of his indigenous thunder storms, and demanded to be releas ed. Fearing some hostile demon stration when the straps were un fastened, we took occasion to cut them with a long bowie knife. He rose up, spitting blood and shaking himself, as if he was anxious to get rid of his clothes. ‘H—ll, Doc. but she’s a buster ! 1 never seed such a tooth. I reckon no common fix men ts would have fbteh it; but 1 tell you, sirree, it hurt awful ; I think it’s-the last time the‘Mississip pi Patent Plan’ gets me in its holt. Here’s a five-dollar Kaintuck bill, take your pay and gin us the change.” Seeing he was in such good hum or, I should have spared him, but his meanness disgusted me, and 1 thought l would carry the joke a little further. On examining his mouth I suddenly discovered, as was the case, that l had pulled the wrong tooth, but I never told him and he had too much blood in bis mouth to discover it. ‘C urse the luck’ 1 exclaimed, ‘bv Jupiter I have lost rnv bet. 1 didn’t break the infernal thing.’ ‘Lost what ?’ inquired the patient, alternately spitting out blood, and cramming in my tobacco. ‘Why, a fine hat. 1 bet the old boss that the first tooth 1 pulled on mv ‘Mississippi Patent Plan,’ I either broke the neck of the patient or his jaw-bone, and 1 have done nei ther. ‘Did you never pull a tooth that way before? why, you told me you’d pulled a hundred.’ ‘Yes, but they all belonged to • lead men.’ ‘And it rope hund’t guv way, 1 reckon there’d bin another (leap man’s pulled my tooth if l hadn’t thought you had plenty of ’speri ence; but gin my change, I wants to be gwine to the boat.’ I gaveAhe fellow his change for the five dollar bill, deducting the quarter, and the nextday, when en deavoring to pass it, I found we had both made a mistake, 1 had pulled the wrong tooih, and he had given me a counterfeit bill. 1 he following has more truth than poetry : ‘What do you call a pub lic spirited indiwidivle ?’ asked one of those philosophers who are gen erally found sitting on a pile of timber, of a warm night, in front of some unfinished building. ‘A pub lic spirited indiwidivle? Why, when I was a boy, it meant an in diwidivle who would do for the pub lic whatever he could; now it means an indiwidivle who will do the pub lic whenever he can. Marriage for Money. — We can not say with Edward Fitzgerald, that ‘we never saw a bridal but our eyelids have been wet’—but vve have seen some—one at least, when we could have wept, had not the fever of the world long before dried up the fountain of our childish tears. It was a marriage for mon ey ; you might read that in the miserable and decrepid form that drew up its bended proportions be fore the altar at the side of a young, beautiful and simple hearted girl. She was pale ; and her delicate little hand trembled as it adjusted the folds of her rich garments, and there was a quiver about her fine mouth, which told of repressed agony; and when the ceremony began,she turned one hasty glance upon her ill suited bridegroom, and l could clearly see her shrink from him, with a slight but evident feel ing of disgust and abhorrence. I looked upon the bridegroom. He was regarding her with as much fondness as his ,cold and selfish heart was capable of—a miserly chuckle, as if be bad just counted over his gold, the smile of an ourang outang. And was this the manto whom the beautiful creature was to be bound —a living and lovely beir.g upon a lifeless corpse —beauty and greenness upon barrenness and de cay? And her friends and rela tives—they stood clustering around her, with their eyes fixed, not upon the agonized countenance of their victim—but upon the jewelry and the gauds which adorned her. Fools! fools; knew they not that the victim of a pagan immolation is as gaudily decked when she is placed upon her consuming pile— that her sacrifice is far less terrible, than that of a young and lovely creature, made in ihe perfect simili tude of an angel, and glowing with rich and ardent affections, u pon the polluted shrine of mammon. Alas! what could ever atone for this chaining of the human affections — this binding of loveliness and inno cence 1 6 decrepitude and age, dis ease and avarice. Sick at heart, vve turned away form the melancholy spectacle, while these words of the immortal Penn rushed strongly up on our rnenory ; ‘Oh, how sordid has man grown ! man, the noblest creature of the universe, as a God upon earth, and wearing the image of Him who made it, thus to mis take the end of bis creation, —to worship, as his God, gold instead of his maker! ’ A Canning Fox. —An English paper relates the following : A farmer bad discovered that a fox came along a beam in the night to seize his poultry. He according ly sawed the and of the beam near lv through, and in the night the fox fell into a place whence he could not escape. On going to him in the morning, he found him stiff’, and as he thought lifeless. Taking him out of the building, he threw him on the dung-hill, but in a short time Reynard opened his eyes, and seeing all was safe and clear, gal loped away to the mountains, show ing more cunning than the man who ensnared him. Breaking the News. —Cuff had been out with the cart and oxen, and returning, his master asked him what was the trouble ? ‘Why, massa, de wheel is broke.’ ‘Js that all, Cuff? ‘No, massa, de longue broke too.’ ‘What, did the oxen run awav?’ ‘Yes, inassa, and kill de nigh ox.’ ‘ls it possible, Cuff V ‘And de off’ ox, too., massa.’ ‘So, you black rascal, you have made a perfect smash up and that is the reason why you came back. Why didn’t you tell me so?’ ‘Why massa,’said Cuff'. Scratch ing his wool, T sposeclat one wheel broke be ’ficient of it self individ oolly, without proceeding into de entire argument ob de cart and ox um.” A Democratic Bank. —Vault— Mother Earth. • Exchanges.— The transplanting of the nursery and gardens.

Worse than Idleness. — In the diary of John Adams, lately published is the following entry, which gives his opinion of an employment which is extensively indulged in by young men in these times : “Friday—Saturday—Sunday— Monday —All past in absolute idle ness, or which is worse, gallanting the girls.” ‘Look up,’ thundered the captain of a vessel, as his boy grew giddy while gazing from the top-mast. ‘Look up.’ The boy looked up and returned in safety. Young man look up and you will succeed. Never look down and despair. Leave dangers uncared for, and push on. If you falter you lose. ‘Look an.’ A CITY HOTEL bay-street, savannah, gforgia.
