IN EVERY AGE AND NATION a set of fine teeth has been considered an eoaential clement of female beauty and dignified manliness. When perfect they exert a spell potent as that of Duessa, while all the other beauties and attractions of tho human frame combined cannot atone for the loss of this one. No grace or feature can, however, declare its independence of the others, all are intended to act together, and not sepa- rately, and to produce a pleasing effect good teeth, as a part of beauty's mystic enchantment, are at once typical and essential. Left to theUlBelvos they spontaneously deteriorate, as if their Parian beauty were too delicate for the wild winds of earthliness. Those who do not trifle with nature pay regard to every gift Heaven has bestowed. So long as we do her reverence it is man's native right to be happy. Enjoyment is the universal end and rule, our ordinary and natural condition, plain and disfigurement are but the casualties, the exceptions ever tending to a remoter good -the voice of nature bidding us remedy her grievances and respect her laws. In no part of the animal (irganization will the effects of neglect prove so disastrous as in the economy of the teeth.—Frwn A Practical Treatise on the Teeth," by Musrs. Gabriel. 8.

FIGHTING FOB FAME.—Two boys going home one day, found a box in the road, and disputed who was tho finder. They fought the whole afternoon without coining to a decision. At last they agreed to divide the contents equally, but oil opening the box, lo, and behold! it was empty. Few wars have been more profitable than this to the parties concerned. THE DEUCE TO I'.vy— Some years since, as we were conversing with a country physician, by his own fire, a little urchin came bolting in with—" Oh! doctor, doctor, come quick; darnation's to pay over at our house. Daddy's got the rheuuiatiz, mammy's got the tooth-ache, babby's got the measles, and Sal's got religion! Oh dear hoo hoo oo STRANGE BUT TRUE.—"I say, Jim, does you know what fellow in town lay longest in bed last week 1" said a little urchin to another, while standing on the step of the museum. No I doesn't, Sam—does YOll," said Jim. To be sure I does-it was Mons. Hihin, the Giant."—"Why, you don't say so I" replied Jim.- It are a fact." THE LETTER D.—" Why is the letter D like a ring 1" Salet a young lady to her accepted lover one day. The gentleman, hke the generality of his sex in sueh a 8ltuatlOll, was as dull as a hammer.

COST OF PAINT.—Some years ago there lived in Berkshire county, Mass., two physician of considerable skill and eminence. One of them used no spirituous lilluors-the other drank freely; and while the one had acquired considerable property, the other remained poor Meeting each other one day, when the former was returning from a distant town with a richly painted and well-made carriage, the latter accosted him I)oc- tor, how do you manage to ride in a carriage painted in so costly a manner ? I have been in practice as long and extensively as you, and charge as much, but I can hardly live and drive the old one."—"Hie paint on my carriage," he replied" didn't cost half as much as the paint on your face."

SPRING SKETCH. Have we not mentioned a lane, slightly diverging from the green of wood coto, and offering a nearer con- veyance to the Manor House 1 In winter time its deep ruts reiidei,wl it, hardly pas- sable, except for carts and waggons, while its poofs and quagmires unfitted it for the passage of gentle feet; but in spring and summer the Shaw Lane, for thus it was called, from the little thickets that skirted it at intervals, offered a pJetlsaut and shady walk to those who wished to avoid the dust of the high road. Partly sunk between high tufted banks pierced with occasional openings to the fields on either side, partly over-shadowed by copses that completely shut out the view, it presented sufficient variety of scenery to interest the pedestrian, though its features were not more attractive than such as are com- monly encountered in our rural districts. But what is there that is not beautiful in the season of early spring ? Even in the shadiest parts of the Laue the tufts of May waving backwards and forwards in the winds made a light perfume of their own as if they had been so many vases of incense wafted by invisible hands; the banks and ditches were tassellated with cowslips, violets, wild hyacinths, germanders, foxgloves, lilies of the valley, and marsh marygolds, sometimes flaring in the ray with all the gorgeous brightness of a painted abbey- window, and in other places imparting a rich hue to the dim sunlesB works out of which they peered like so many vari-coloured 4nd rooted eyes butterflies spread their painted sails in the air oceiii the wild flowers shook on their stalks as the bee, ceasing her murmured grace settled upon themfand commenced her honey banquet; the hedge birds twithered and quivered lovingly together, or chased one onotlier with a trembling eagerness, while the soaring lark poured down a gush of eestacy from oil high; the cattle were lowing with tranquil enjoyment amid the butter-cupped and daisied herbage; the trees pushed forth their fingered leaves, and unfolded their buds as if eager to feel and to kiss the balmy vernal air; all nature both auimate and inanimate seemed to be thrilling with the enjoyment of the season." Such is a green lane sketch of wood cote from the well known pen of Horace Smith, and many more are there of a similar description in "our rural dis- Our green lanes rejoice in many varieties of names, "love-lane," the lover's walk," "spring-lane," "prirn- rose lane," and vast variety besides. They sometimes lead to neighbouring farmhouses and fields, sometimes they form tho" exits and the entrances of some rural seat-some gentleman's hall, some dematis-wreathed vicarage, or rose-covered suburban villa, sometimes again they are connected with other walks, or load to the woods and mountains, or meander by some running stream to which you are led as by invisible sympathy, and some- times these same green lanes seem to spring forth with- out design or construction, a pleasant apparition which salutes you suddenly, an agreeable rusus maturro," striking, attractive, and beautiful as any other freak of that fair goddess. For lovers these green retreats have always been held in especial favour. Highways are too public, woodwalks too secluded. But the soft, mossy, grassy, violet-shaded, primrose-covered, hawthorn-scented green lanes, border- ing on the small town or rural village, these form a love- ly and delightful solitude, not too deep nor to distant, but within the hum of human life and open at the same time to all the softer and subliincr influences of nature. Sweet blushing maiden of nineteen, with thy blue eyes kUKlling, entranced, as tliou catohcst from this sketch some dear memorial of departed dreams, haat thou not known it ? How bright, how fair, in love's golden morning hour, the song of the blackbird on the topmost spray ringing to his mate, the soft glimmer of awakening stars, each struggling forth from the azure canopy of evening, and softer and brighter far that voice of love that murmurs in thine ear, that glance of tenderness that lingers so deeplv, BO paionateJy within the shadow of thy hopes All have felt it, all have known it. The spell is like mooulight, the effusion is as the glory of the setting sun. The hour harmonizes with the thought, the soft melancholy joy of love is in union with the sights and sounds that surround us. "It is the hour when from the boughs The nightingale's high note is beard: It is the hour when lovers vows Seem sweet in every whisper'a word; And gentle winch and waters near lIlBke music to the lonely ear." The poet too, how gladly he rushes from his toilsome watches, his silent, lonely meditations, to refresh his jaded thoughts, and re,j]}ume the torch of inspiration among the hermit bye-ways which belong to towns and villages. Here, unobserved, he can chant his favorite verses—here the poets whom he best loved will re-appear before him in all their sublime inijestv-aiid here, with senses half slumbering, but with thought and memory wide awake, will he evoke from the silent shadowmgs of the past dreams and images which in the passionate hours of youth robed him as with a mantle of ifre. For on this very spot, perchance, long ago did one blest spirit linger beside him in the rapture of mutual affection. Beside this blossoming woodbine he, perchance, breathed the vow of first and most enduring love, and here, may- hap, he gazed within the crystal depths of her spiritual eyes, when with Jow, tender, tremulous voice, she blush- ingly approved that sweet vow, which, in truth, a queen might have been proud to accept. Nor will that impassioned poet return to his humble roof before he has recorded in immortal verse the seraph dreamings with which this spot and hour have sculptuied the high domes and rece,??3e?3 of his imaginations. The harebell that nods gracefully in the bre?L? will recall pleasant fancies of those beauteous orbs which lie had so often likened to the fair stars of heaven the small wild geraniums 'ill speak in their pinky lustre of that downy ??h,?ek the. the pomegranate softer and fairer; the de- íi:; h;'Ût hîII'tafrltl;r l;i\' 1 smiles for the purity and fragrance of her brow and bosom; and the little retiring, deep hued, starry-eyed forget-me-not will teach him a story of constancy and de, votion, and prove to him that loveliness the most perfect may dwell in even brighter lustre amongst the calm "un- trodden ways" than in the courts of ¡¡oblcs, and in the palaces of kingg. ?f o Natnrc! ?' thv shows and forms To feeling, pensive hearts have charms! Whether the summer kindly warms Wi' life an' light, Or winter howls in gusty storms, The lang, dark night. "The muse, naePoet ever fan'd her Till by himsel' he learnt to wander Adown some trotting burns meander An'no think lan?; Or sweet to stray, and pensive ponder A heartfelt sang i" And truly poetry is love. What is poetry but the de- sire of the beautiful ? The poet walks the high hills, and pierces the deepest dells-he tr,wer8tJs foreig¡1 lands, or wanders half inspired amidst the fairest objects of his own-at morn or noon, or night, he still scans heaven's sweetest, deepest mysteries—the sights which live on mountains, and in summer woods, and in unobserved vale8-the sounds that are heard in heaven when the lark sings her first matin or vesper song-when silver brooks mingle together, or when ocean waves fall softly, like the sound of angel's wings oil the moonlit shore- what are all these but BEAUTIFUL to ear and eye,—what is he but a lover—what is his poetry but the language of adoration ? Nor is it only to the poet and the lover that our green lanes present something of a romantic as- pect, A pleasant sight it is to see the blooming milk- maid tripping onward graceful and erect, with her milk- pail Oil her head, her auburn curls shaking in the even, ing breeze, her cheeks ruddy with exertion, her hazel eye. glancing with health and content, and her whole appearance embodying onr strongest conceptions of inno- cence and happiness. Anon, the stout ploughboy eomes whistling "o'er the lea," his day's work well nigh finish- ed, all except tending the cattle at the home byze, with step erect, and bold, fearless forehead, the very image of vigour, manliness, and independence; and now, as he approaches the farm house singing that most delight- ful and spirited rural song of Scotland, which so often the poor, dear departed Ettrick Shepherd chanted by his own fireside, near St. Mary's Loch, or amongst the mountains of Ettrick, and the healthy shores of Loch Skene, "When the Kye comes Hame "Come all ye jolly shepherds That whistle through the glen, 111 tell ye of a seeret That courtiers dinna ken. What is the greatest bliss 'that the tongue 0' man can name ? 'Tis to woo a. bonnie lassie When the kye come hame. When the kye come hame, 'Tween the gleaming and the mirk, When the kye come hame. 'Tis not beneath the burgonet, Nor yet beneath the crown, 'Tis not on couch of velvet, Nor yet on bed of dawn: 'Tis beneath the spreading birch, [n the dell without a name, W'i' a bonnie bounie lassie, When the kye come hame. There the blackbird builds his nest For the mate he loes to see, And, up upon the topmost bough Oh, a happy birl is he When he pllllrs his melting ditty, And love tis all the theme, And lio'll woo his bonnie lassie When the kye eome hame. When the hlnart bears a pearl And the daisv turns, pea, And the bonnie lucken gowan Has faulded up his e e, When the laverock frae the lift Draps down, and thinks nae shame To woo his bonnie lassie When tho kye come hame.

Away wi' fame and fortune— W r ?'t comfort. can they gie I- And a' the arts that prey On man's life and libertie Oie me the highest joy That the heart o' man can frame, Wi' my bonnie, bonnie lassie When the kye come hame." Alas the tongue is mute that, once sounded so cheerily, and the hand is pulseless that directed these and so many other immortal songs and lyrics of old Scotland but the name of James Hogg shall be hpard for ever in the poet-land of Caledonia, and along with that of Ro- bert Burns, remain eternal and enduring as her lakes, her rocks, her mountains, and her seas! In Cambria the rural population are largely endowed with the gift of music, and after their day's work is over they delight in meeting together to sing the secular and devotional melodies, peculiarly Welsh, and in their own language. In passing their chapels and through their villages it has a softening and mournful effect on the ear of an Englishman. Wales ought to be dear to Englishmen, for it was the retreat and stronghold of our brave ancestors when in- vasions drove them from their native land into these un- approachable fastnesses. It has shown great valour and decision in resisting the attacks of some of the bravest and most warlike of the Plantagenet kings; and it has given to the literature of England many very high and brilliant names.. Talk of vales and green fields, why every step of mountain ground in our country may well be termed holy ground, and to Wales more particularly does this refer. These mountains are sanctified to their country by the blood of ancient patriots. The Britons, our own forefathers, here banded together and resisted oppression even to death, nor would let the iron hoof of the invader enter their territory. Among these stubborn rocks and sudden fastnesses did the brave Llewelyn and bold Owen Glendwr combine their rude armies, till Edward him- self, the best of the Plantagenets, was fain to retire be- fore their val our. To the poet they have still more electric charm, for they pervade his spirit with their hues; the footsteps of freedom sound among their pre- cipiees and enter into his dreams; he faneies of the forms of the ancient dead who lie sleeping in their solitary cairns and burial places, such as Towyn Capel in Angle- sey. And are not the native beauties that adorn them to him dear,- the golden hellth smiling under the breezes of heaven; the rainbow clasping the remote heights; the waterfalls; the tempest the moon; and the rejoicing stars! There is no doubt but that Shakes- peare travelled in Wales, as may be seen from his excel- lent delineation of the Welsh character, and still more, perhaps, from his referring so minutely to the exquisite custom of many parts of Wales wherein the relatives are wont to plant flowers on the graves of their dead—a sacred thought, as if immortality were awakening from the dust. Wales is the cradle of ancient liberty, and the most romantic and picturesque country in the world. It possesses noble mountains and lovely vales, and at this season of the year the lover of Nature may enjoy himself to his heart's content in exploring and gazing upon its varied and beautiful scenery. The love of Nature has been worthily ond wisely cut- tivated by the poets in all ages..Nl1.ture is truth it is the visible seal of heaven, the motto to be examined by our own understanding-it is a Inap laid before the poet's soul, beautiful in all its parts, simple and harmo- nious, yet only to be arranged and put together by the poet himself. Nature, then, and the human heart and mind, which are nature also, but somewhat different from the other, inamuuch as the changes within them have been greater, have conjoinedly been the primal sources of study to those whose aim it was to win immortality, and gain the Monumentuni cere pereniuns." none bear the palm IÙore proudly than Spencer, who so well and beautifully traced the life and character of "the gentle Una, with her milk-white lamb," and in later (bys let the names of Wordsworth, Cowper, Byron, Shelley, and our living poet-laureate Tennyson, be sllperadded- men different in many things, but kindred and alike in genius, at least in its results. But, revenons ii nos mou. tons, the green laneB of England have a constant and abiding charm. The solitary enthusiast can here conjure up day dreams of rapture and delight-the melancholy man worn with ennui and despair may in the calm peacefulness around him, the verdant hedgerows, the daisied banks, the soothing breezes, find wherewithal to assuage his woes-the worn-jaded man of the world, the wearied slave of customs, the cast-off worshipper of fashions, willjhere recall the sweet thoughts of his boy- hood when darting from the dull routine of school hours, he would seek with his comrades the mossy nests of the blackbird and thrush, and rejoice in the sunlight and azure heavens, and as the sudden rapture strikes upon his heart, the creature of cities will half dream and hall believe that he is a happy schoolboy again But to some men, perchance, these retreats are tame and dull and unprofitable. The smirking citizen who has never wandered five hundred yards from Ludgate Hill, Holborn, or St. Paul's—the sparkling coxcomb of Belgravia or Tyburnia—the court attaeM, smiling for ever with servile sycophancy at the back of his lordly master—the languid roue, disgusted with pleasures which he yet wants the manliness to discard, and the resolu- tion to renoiiiiee-siieh men would tremble at the thought of utter solitude, would quote the latest cock- ney carricature oil rural pleasures, and, although they might ventme of an afternoon to tireeenwieh Park or Richmond Hill, would abjure with holy horror the plea- sant bye-paths of country life, conjuring up at every step ghosts, pliantous, and hobgoblins, or the heroes of Ir. Harrison Ainsworth, and the author of Oliver Twist. Alm to such we may well apply Wordsworth's trip- let The primrose by the river's brim, A yellow primro,e to him, = is nothing more. In the floating clouds overhead he beholds no spiritual and angelic shapes, fair and beauteous as ever graced arcadian vales—in the entrancing lights and shades of first morn, when the dew-drops shine more bright than pearl s on the snowiest brow of loveliness—at noon when the sou ads of a thousand bees are musical among the woodbines, and honey-suckles and sweet wild roses of June-at the evening hour, when all heaven is glorious to behold, and a myriad gorgeous illuminations spread over the western clouds, and mortal sense is dazzled with the splendour that blaze along the skies-these, all these, and a thousand similar entrancements pass him unheed- ed by, his thoughts, like the Roman Gladiator's, are "far away," amid the glittering chariots of Regent's Park, the gty liveries of Piccadilly, even the noisy cavalcades of Oxford Street, Fleet Street, and the Strand. Thy human nature is yet but in chrysalis-the lump, the mass, the frozen chaos of life, without wings, or motion, 01' sensation. And better by far that such as these remain from hcnce, the little birds would start with horror at the apparition, the modest wild-flowers would put on their deepest blush of scorn at a creature who did not even know their names, and Nature would weep over such an alien and outcast from her shrine. Re- treats of this description are lwt few nor far between; near the mightiest cities are favourite shady walks fa- miliar to the student, the poet, and the lover. Dear, dear, for ever dear, are they all, the pleasant rural walks of England, whether among the lonely woods where the bilberries grow meekly in the shade, or by, the margin of silver-voiced waters, and solemn rivers and sounding seas; or oil high mountain brows, behold- ing distant spires, and quiet villages, and fertile vales; or among the green fields in spring, when the buttercup and daisy are most lovely, and the lark swells his orisons to heaven's highest domes ;-dear to love and memory, and meditations for the sweetest hours of country life have lingered there, and few hearts indeed exist which do not treasure in their deepest recesses, some happiest and holiest record of existence garnered in times past amongst the green lanes and rural walks of old Eng- land To hearts that have so felt the well known lines of Scotland's immortal poet may strike a chord in iiiiison:- o happy love I-where love like this is found ?— 0 heartfelt raptures bliss beyond compare; I vc paced mnel1 this weary mortal round And sage experience bids me this declare- If heaven a draught of heavenly pleasure spare, One cordial in this melancholy vale, Tis when a youthful, loving, modest pair, In other's arms breathe out the tender tale Beneath the milk-white thorn that scents the evening g?tl?.

IMPORTANT TO ALT, WHO SI.S'O.—From S. Pearsall, Esq., Vicar Choral of Lichfield Cathedral.—" A lady of distinction, having pointed to me the qualities of Dr. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS, I was induced to make tRial of a box, and from this trial I am happy to give my testimonial in their favour. I found by allowing a few of the Wafers- taken in the course of' the day—to gradually dissolve in the month, my voice became bright and clear, and the tone full and distinct. They are de, cidely the most efficacious of any I have ever used." DR.

A ncl if in any year, there shall not be sufficient eligible candidates of either class, then candidates or candidate of the other class, if eligible, shall be elected but in case of a turn or turns thus lost by either class, such class shall be first offered the competition for the next vacant scholarship, until the number of turns shall have been made equal, but so as not to preclude either class from an opportunity of competing for one scholarship in every year; and in case there shall, from any casualty, be more than the ordi- nary number of scholarships to be filled up in any year, the forcgoing proportion and order of election from each class, shall be adhered to as far as practicable; and every scholar shall be allowed during the four years next after his election, (he being admitted, and remaining so lon, as he shall retain such scholarship, a scholar of the said Free Grammar School at Bangor,) an annual sum of gclo out of the jneome of the Charity, which stipend it shaH be lawful for the TrListee?? to inerea?e to any sum not ex- ceeding Cl5 each per annum, when the income of the Charity shall, in their judgment, admit of such increase, the same scholarship being always uniform in amount. 14.

(1)ur SaWc. I TWICE A WEEK, is the title of a new Illustrated London Journal, devoted to entertaining literature and useful information. Weare told that it is, as yet, only an exjjerimeiit in English literature; and so it is, but such a one that gives great promise of future success. The illustrations are of the highest class, lieing the production of "Phiz," and other eminent artists; and it eontains, in addition to original works of fiction, articles upon the International Exhibition, and every current topic of interest. TBEETON'S DICTIONARY, Part VI.This most useful and comprehensive Dictionaryof science, literature, and art, has reached its 43rd part of the entire work, and 6th of the second volume, and fully bears out the high opinion we formed of its accuracy, and general utility as a good portable compilation of universal information. Con- sidemble pains have evidently been bestowed upon its production, and we have no doubt that the enterprising publisher will, in due time, meet with the reward which he so richly deserves.—We perceive that a new and corrected edition of the above is in course of publication, to be issued in 96 weekly penny numbers, thus placing it within the reach of the poorest of those who desire to extend their knowledge of men and things, which they can do at a trilling cost. BRETON'S ILLUMINATED FAMILY BIBLE.—This is a splendid illuminated edition of tho Holy Scriptures, with illustrative cartoons by the most eminent European artists. The notes are compiled from various authors, and the whole style and appearance of the work is su- perior to anything we have seen producoll for the price. The present is the 10th part" and it is to be concluded in 24 i arts. BEKTON'S BOOKS OF HOME PETS—(Parts XVIII. and XIX.)—The present parts contain valuable and enter- taining articles upon Jogs, with numerous illustrations, and a coloured plate of a skye terrier, French poodle, spaniels, an Italian greyhound, and a png. The features and varieties of these useful animals are described in homely and familiar phrases, which renders the reading at once agreeable and instructive. Boy's OWN LIBRARY—This magazine is well adapted to elevate the taste and to refine the morals of the rising generation. The subject of the number now before us is PhaulC<>IJ, or tho ship-boy who became the Prime Minister," and is calculated to inspire the youths of our country with a correct notion of the true path to fortune and greatness. Boy's Ow lIIAGAZIXE. The present number fer June contain pleasant articles upon •' Boating, Rowing and Sailing," The Ship's Carpenter," Mow I won my Spurs," aud Sketches of the Americah Revolution"- the latter of which is highly interesting at tho present time, when the vast continent of America is devastated by internal warfare, and the unhappy struggle between Worth aud South appears so even!y balanced as to set the hope" an,1 fears of rival prognosticated at defiance. BEKTON'S BOOK or GARDEN MANAGEMENT.—Gardeners and others wb" take delight in the management of gardens will find this a most useful companion. While adopting the form of a monthly calendar in twelve out of the fifteen prts, much of the repetition so objection- able and so tedious in that form of conveying informa- tion is obviated by the introduction of the historv and cultivation of tho several plants, in the proper month for propagating them, thus bringing each subject before the reader in its proper season.
