D., would re spectfully inform the inhabitants of Bradford Connty that he is permanantly located in Waverly, N.Y., where he has been in the practice oi his profession for the past four years. He would say that from his long and suc cessful practice of 25 years duration, he is familiar with all the different styles of work done in any and all Den tai establishments in city or country, and is better pre pared than any other Dental operator in the vicinity to do work the best adapted to the many and different cases that present themselves oftentimes to the Dentist, as he understands the art of making his own artificial teeth, and has facilities for doing the same. To those requiring under sets of teeth he would call attention to his new sind of work which consists of porcelain tor both plate and teeth, and forming a continuous gum. It is more durable, more naturai in appearance, and much better adapted to the gum than any other kind of work. Those in need of tht same are invited to call and exam ine specimens. Teeth filled to last for years and often t mes for life, t'hloroj >.vi, ether, and "Sitroux oxide'' administered with perfect safety, as over four hundred patients within the last four years can testify. I will be in Towanda from the 15th to 30th of every month, at the office of W. K. TAYLOR, (formerly oc cupied by Dr. O. 11. Woodruff.) Having made arrange ments with Mr. Taylor.

Grand is the leisure of the earth ; She give her happy myriads birth, And after harvest fears not death, But goes to sleep in snow-wreaths dim. Dread is the leisure up above, The while He sits, whose name is Love, And waits, as Noah did, the dove, To wit, if she would fly to him. He waits for us, while houseless things, We beat about with braised wings, On ths dark floods and water-springs, The ruined world, the desolate sea: With open windows from the prime All night, all day. he waits sublime, Until the fullness of the time Decreed from Ilis eternity. Where is our leisure? Give us rest! Where is the quiet we possessed? We must have had it once—were blest With peace, whoso phantoms yet entice. 8 rely the mother of mankind I. uged for gardens left behind ; 1 rwe still prove some yearnings blind, Inherited from from Paradise. ALL ABOUT A BONNET : OR, THE I.AW OF DIVORCE. Not many miles from Springfield, 111., there lived, and, we presume, there still lives, a couple who one liue day fell head over heels in love with each over; and noth ing would satisfy them—Henry Wilson and Mary Spencer—but that they should wear the same name, live under the same roof, and drink out of the same teapot, for the rest of their natural lives. Wilson is a well-to-do farmer—peculiar ly independent of the world ; and his wife, the daughter of a stock-raiser, who is not without some hundreds of dollars in Uncle Samuel's five-twenties aud ten-forties. Each felt quite independent of the other in mone tary matters—which, in this world, is not always the ease. Henry met Mary at a Lull, and they lik ed each other so well that they polked, mazourked, and waltzed together through the night, and finally parted with the un derstanding that they were excellent part ners in a dauce. Waltzing is productive of a good many things besides scandal. In this instance, it led \\ ilsou to propose to Maty, and Mary led to marriage. But—how happy this great, round globe of ours would be if those conjunctions but and if were not in any vo cabulary ? They never stopped in their ardor to speculate upon or philosophize about "incompatibility of temper," and hence the rock on which they split. The honeymoon was, as honeymoons gen j erally are, redolent with the perfumes ex- I tracted from those exotics—"my dear," "my love," "mv darling," and it lasted even beyond the usual phase of corkscrew journeyings of Luna around her master Earth. In fact, it is related of Mr. and Mrs. Wil son, that for the space of one whole year not a cloud darkened the atmosphere of their matrimonial heaven—that all was se rene ; but it was neither noticed nor known that the barque in which they had taken passage should always float on the connu bial sea without encountering storms or contrary winds. Well, the tempest did come. It came up -11 them suddenly, and entered abruptly in to a law court; aud it was about a bounet, i hich didn't suit the complexion of pleas ant faced Mary, but did exactly hit the fan cy of her " lord and master." Henry had some business in Springfield, which transacting to his satisfaction, he concluded he would look around him and make a note of the fashions. While saun tering along, thinking of nothing in partic ular, his eye chanced to fall on a bonnet, not in a milliner's window, but on the head of a lady, who was strolling through the streets, taking her usual " afteruooning." " What a nice hat 1" ejaculated Henry. By some chance the person who wore it heard the comment, and not at all displeas ed, turned her head until her face confront ed that of the critic ; and then out of as pretty a pair of violent eyes as it is possi ble to conceive in woman, beamed her thanks, while her rosy lips wreathed them selves into smiles that set the heart of the young Benedict, who ought to have kuown better, palpitating at the rate of one hun dred and ten to the minute. For a time it was all over with Henry. He forgot all about his Mary, and his eyes, being expressive ones, somehow informed the lady that she had made a momentary conquest. " You admire my bonnet ?" said she, in a low, silvery voice, with a chirrup in it that sounded like bird music heard at a dis tance, in the cars of the infatuated man " Yes'm—Miss," he answered tremulous ly, removing his hat as he spoke. " I—l like it very much indeed. I thought how very nice my—my wife would look in one just like it." A light, a very light cloud passed over the face of the lady when she heard the word " wife," but instantly her eyes bright ened and her lips became radiant as it was possible to make them, with good nature. " \s ell, sir," said she, " as I have nothing particular to do, and as I like to assist peo ple out of difficulties, if you have no objec tions I will accompany you to my millin er's, where I have 110 doubt you can get a hat made precisely like mine in a few hours." Henry was delighted—charmed at the condescension of the fair stranger. He could not think of words sufficiently point ed to thank her. As .a matter of course, he could not de cline an invitation so gratuitousl}* extend ed,and at once, escorted by the lady,march ed to the milliner's. There he found a bon net that was, if anything, even an improve ment on the one worn by his new acquain tance ; but it could not be got ready for at least half a day. This was unfortunate, as it would, it he purchased it, detain him in Springfield over night. He finally resolved on possessing the bat, delighted with the '.ea of the surprise his Mary would have. Ho left the store of the milliner accompanied by the aflable lady, TOWANDA, BRADFORD COUNTY, PA., NOVEMBER 2D, 1866. who hinted that her husband was at home, and she would be happy to receive him at her house. Could any woman be more agreeable, thought Y\ ilson,as he parted from the pret ty stranger who had so kindly—putting all coi ventioualities aside, and utterly regard less of the fro a us of Mrs. Grundy—assisted him to the purchase of a fashionable bonnet for his young wife? Now, although there was something ex traordinary in the conduct of the lady, so unsual from the course ordinarily pursued by her sex, Henry forgot not his loyaltv to nor his love lor his Mary. He could not, it is true, obliterate from memory the sweet eyes, or the bright, inviting smiles of her who had done him so agreeable a service. r l his simple act on the part of a strange; was the cause of u storm which he little dreamed at the time. Had he turned his eyes back but once 011 the path he was pursuing, while by the side of his fair cicerone, he would have seen, closely following him, a gentleman who had been deeply enamored of Mary Spencer, and whom he (Henry) had, with out an effort, "cut out." The fact is Wilson is handsome, and iius a nameless way that is exceedingly attractive with women. The rejected instantly resolved 011 revenge.— That very night he wrote to Mary, in a feigned hand, an exaggerated account of iier husband's intercourse with a lady. Ma licious hints were thrown out to excite the poor woman to frenzy ; long before Henry had returned she had worked herself into such a fit of anger that it was dangerous for any one to speak to her. It was while laboring under this unreasonable lit ol pas sion that her husband made his appearance with a bandbox containing the precious bonnet. " Mary,my dear," he said, "I've got some thing nice for you." "For me !" she cried sarcastically; "for me, Sir ! Y'ou can't have anything for me! It's for that woman—that tinny you were seen with in Springfield ! "Y\ hat are you talking about ?" asked Henry, in utter astonishment. " What do you know about a woman in Springfield ?" Mary answered him by going into hys terics. When she recovered a little, she sprang at the box, tore off the lid, and seiz ing the delicate fragment in her hands, placed it for a moment upon her head. An gry as she was, she saw at a glance that it uir d Hot ail, certain ly nine teen-twentieths o' th • - in (total, enter life with a surplusage oi : ell-conceit. If, in measuring themselves with wiser and older men than themselves, they discovar that it is unwarranted, and get rid o! it gracefully, of their own accord, well and good ; if not, it is desirable for their own sake that it be "kuocked out of them." A boy who is sent to a large school soon finds his level. His will may have been paramount at home ; but school boys are democratic in their ideas, and if arrogant, he is sure lo be thrashed into recognition of the golden rule. The world is a great public school, and it soon teaches a new pupil his proper place. 11 he has the at tributes that belong to a leader, lie will be installed in the position of a leader ; if not, whatever his own opinion oi his abilities, lie will be compelled to fall in with the rank and file. If not destined to great ness, the next best thing to which he can aspire is respectability ; but no man can either be truly great or truly respectable who is vain, pompous and overbearing. By the time the novice has found his legiti mate social position, be the satnc high or low, the probability is that the disagree able traits of bis character will be soften ed down or worn away. Most likely the process of abrasion will be rough, perhaps very rough ; but when it is all over, and lie begius to see himself as others see him, and not as reflected in the mirror of self conceit, he will be thankful that he has run the gauntlet, and arrived, though by a rough road, at self knowledge. Upon the whole, whatever loving moth ers may think to the contrary, it is a good thing for youths to be knocked about in the world ; it makes men of them. NUMBER 27. AFTER THE GUILLOTINE. — Four men were executed by the guillotine at Brest. The evening before the execution every medi cal man in Brest received an invitation from Dr. Duval, director of the Board of Health, to meet him in the ampitheatre of the hospital at six on the following morn ing. Precisely at that hour all the men of science beluuging to that city assembled around four dissectiug tables covered with white cloths. As the clock struck, the four culprits were ushered into eternity. At <3:20 the hospital vau was seen to cross the court of the Pupilles de la Marine at a hand gallop, and in a few moments lour lifeless trunks were thrown on the dissecting ta bles, precisely eight minutes alter they had ceased to exist. The sight was indeed startling. The bodies : ppeared shrunk to the si/.e of that of a child—the neck utter ly disappeared, and in its place a trightlul, gaping wound. Next to the bodies, rolled up in napkins, were four livid heads, due work of dissection commenced instantly.-- The nerves quivered, and the flesh was still warm, flic continued contractability of the heart was proved, as well as in the aorta, where sensibility was extreme. The contractability was manifested on simply touching the part, and of course was still more apparent when subject to electric cur rents. The muscular contraction was so intense that, even after twenty minutes one of the doctors, on applying an electric cur rent, made the four heads grimace in the most horrible manner. A pencil was plac ed between the teeth of one : it was bitten through and smashed as though it had been made of glass. A LUNATIC IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. —At Hanwell, England, recently, a young lady was put into a train alone to go to London. As the train was on the point of starting, a gentleman rushed up and got in. Shortly after the train had started, the gentleman jumped up and exclaimed : "This carriage is too heavy, aud it must be lightened ;' and straightway his carpet-bag disappeared out of the window. He sits still a few minutes, when he begins again, and this time his coat and waistcoat follow his bag. After a little while, he said : "Let us pray for the Duke of Gloucester." Down they go on their knees —the poor girl, only 17, too frightened to do anything but obey. \\ lien that wa\ done, they prayed for the Duke of York, and then for another—in fact,through a whole string of dukes ; then they sat down, the young lady frightened out of her senses. Alter a few minutes, he begins again : "It won't do ; 1 can't stand it ; the train is too • eavy, either you or I must get out ; I don't want to, so you The girl, in despair, says : we have not prayed tor the Duke of Northumberland." "Ah, no more we have." Down they go on their knees, when luckily the train stopped at a station, and the young lady called the guard,when it was discovered that the gen tleman was a lunetic escaped from Han well. VALUE OF INSECTS. —Great Britain pays annually $1,000,000 for dried carcasses of that tiny insect known as the cochineal ; while another—also peculiar to India— gum shellac, or rather its production, is scarcely less valuable. More than 1,500,- 000 human beings derive their sole support from the culture and manufacture of the fi bres spun by the silkworm oi which tin annual circulating medium fcis said to he $200,000,000. In England alone—to sac nothing of the other pa:ts of Europe— s.soo,ooo are spent every year in the pur chase of foreign honey, while the value of that which is native is not mentioned, and all that is the work f the bee ; but this makes no mention of 10,000 lbs. of wax im ported every year. Besides all this there are the gall-nuts, used for dying and mak ing ink ; the ear.tharides, or Spanish fly, used in medicine. In fact, every insect is contributing in some way— directly or in iudirectly— in swelling the amount of our commercial profits. ADVICE TO YOUNG MEM. —Let the business of every one alone and attend U> your own. Don't buy what you don't want. Use eve ry hour to advantage, study to make even leisure hours useful. Think twice before you spend a shilling—remember you will have another to make for it. Buy low, sell fair, and take care of the profits. Look over your books regularly, and if you find an er ror, trace it out. Should a stroke of misfor tune come upon you in trade, retrench, work harder, but never fly the track. Con front difficulties with unflinching persever ance, and they will disappear at last though you fail in the struggle, you will be honored, but shrink, and you will be de spised. SST Man is like a snowball. Leave him lie in idleness against the sunny fence of prosperity, and all that's good in him melts like butter ; but kick him around and he gathers strength with each successive rev olution, until he grows into an avalanche. To succeed, you must keep moving. ADVICE to ladies with stingy husbands : Set up bawling alleys, and y >u will be sure to get plenty of pin-money. THE gravest events often come with no more noise than the morning star makes in rising.
