MIX, DENTIST—Artificial Teeth inserted on Fine ' Gold and Silvor Plato from one tooth tor-a wholo set, on ronsonablo terms. Offica on Main street, ovor D. Davu\ store, Brock- port, N. T \Say little girl, what do yon ask a-piece for these apples?'' The speaker was a rosy-cheeked little boy, wh o had just come bounding from a printing office, and stopped before the stand of a little girl who sold apples. \ Penn y for these ; and two cents for those red-choeked ones, sir\ For all of thorn, do you charge but a penny, or is it a penny apiece that you mean 1\ said the la d mischievously. \ A-piece, sir,\ replied tho little girl. \I'm not a man, so you needn't say ' sir' to me ; but, here, give me four two- cont apples.\ The child selected four of the most beautiful apples for her customer, who, meanwhile, stood regarding her -with con- siderable interest. Aud it was a face of no ordinary attraction that the lad looked upon. A child-like and innocent ex- pression, such as is unfortunately not of- ten seen on the features of street children, added t o the charms of her fair and dim- plo countenance. He r hair was as soft and golden as the sunset olouds sometimes are, and it hung in clusters of curls, flow- ing about her rosy cheeks and cubby shouldors. She was the prettiest little apple girl that Dick Foro9t ever saw. \ Your checks ar e as rod as your ap- ples, little girl,\ he said, \ and no won- der, standing out here iu the sun and wind al l day. If you was my sister, I wouldn't like-to have you selling apples in the street. D o you go to Sunday School ?\ \ No ; I've got n o time. I have to sell apples for Airs. Brown.\ \ But it's wicked to soil apples on the Sabath-day. Don't you know that ?\ \ Well, I can't help it, if it is wioked. I sell as many again apples Sunday, as I do any other day ; and Mrs. Brown would turn me out of house an d home if I didn't do it.\ \ She must be a n awful woman,\ said the boy, regarding the child with a look of horror. \She-ain't your mother is •she?\ \ Oh ! dear, no—no, indeed—she is not my mother. I don't know who my mother was, uOr m y father, neither.— Mrs. Brown says I must have rained down ; for a man found irie after it had stormed dreadful all night long. He found me when h e wont to open that white ryiarblo building, over there. I was in a basket on tho steps.\ \Dear mo!\ sighed' Dick Forest.— \ Then you never new what it was to have a good father and mother. How hard!\ \ Yes, 14»ro say, 'tis hnrd, but, then, I get along very woll, Mrs. Brown •never best* mo, only whop she is tipsy, and when I don't sell enough apples.\ -' How much do you make Sundays 1\ \ About two shillings, I guess.\ \Would you like to go to Sunday School ?\ \ Yes, very muoh, indeed—if I could go ; but I've got nothing to wear, even if Mrs. Brown would let me go.\ \ Can you read ? Have you got a biblo 1\ questioned the boy. \ No, 1 can't read ; I nover saw but one bible, that I know of.\ \ Well, little girl, I shall talk with you moer some other time. Here comes an- other customer.\ And away went the boy, with his mind full of a desire to ben- efit tho little apple girl. Dick Forest was a poor boy, and he knew that he could hope to do much for the little girl, in whose fate he had become so deeply interested ; but he was a good' boy, and well known in his Sabbath School to which he belonged. He was so smart and industrious, that he won fa- vor with almost everybody ; and a3it was known that ho was an orphan, and that there was n o one this side of the broad ocean to care for him, people had been very kind about helping him along in the world. Several wealthy men and women had taken considerable notice of him; and to one of these persons he now went with his plans for the apple girl. The good lady to whom he told his story, smiled at his earnestness, and told him she thought he ought to be appoint- City Missionary, he WHS SO zealous iu the cause of the poor She told him that she would undertake to rescue little Ellen, (for so was tho apple girl called,) from her unfortunate position. The kind Mrs. Lucas was as good as her word; but upon visiting Mrs. Brown, she found that admirable lady very drunk- en ly bent upon holding Ellen still in her service. After a good deal of trouble the woman finally consented to allow Ellen to visit Mrs. Lucas on the following day. With tho appointed hour appeared poor ragged Ellon. A strange little figure slip saw in the mirror, creeping over the rich carpets' of Mrs. Lucas's house. Poor, little bare feet, and torn, dirty cloths*, illy contrasted with the luxuriance about her now. Mrs. Lucas was so much interested in the child, that she resolved to leave nn means untried to get her away from the evil influences with which she was sur- rounded. The present of n golden eagle and the promise of a new dress wou over the op- posing party; aud all claim upon Ellen was givon up to Mrs. Lucas. The child was taken to its new home; her rags taken away ; and she was washed and clad in whole, neat garments, fitted to her form and suited to her age, When Dick Forest was called to see his transformed protege he cuuld hardly believe his own eye\). When ho l..'o»tne fully com ineed that it was little Ellen that stood in su«h bright and pure beauty before him, he began to caper about the room like an insane boy. Mrs. Lucas was obliged lo sit down and lean back in an easy chair, Dick's conduct caused her to laugh so violently, \ Now she shall go to Sunday School, sure enough,'' cried Dick. \ I sh»ll call for her.next Sunday morning.\ \ My dear,\ said Mr. Lucas, coming in a few minutes after quiet had been restored, and while Dick aud Ellen yet stood side by side rejoicing over the fate of tho latter, \ my dear, did it ever strike you that those children are remarkably alike?\ \I had not thought.of it, Gharles; but now that you have spoken of it, I do certainly see that there is a great resem- blance. Wny, how very strange !\ \ Tlie very same profile—the same pe culiar smile—the same arch to the eye- brows ; and even the same tone to their laugh,\ said Mr. Lucas, as he attentively examined the two children. \ Rcaly, Jane, this can hardly be nil acciden- tal.\ \ They are not alike in complexion,\ said Mrs. Lucas.\ \ No; but this is nothing. Dick, how long have your parents been dead ?\ \ I should think eight years, sir.\ \Did they have any child except your- self!\ \ fes, sir. Mother had a little mite of a baby—a girl; but you remember I told you that they both died a way from home. I never saw my mother after my father died. She got crazy and roved off. They told me that she died in tho street, and was buried while I was sick.\ \ And you say this girl was found in the street V \ Yes, sir.\ \ Was anything found with you, my child?\ \ Only a basket, and an old shawl over me.\ \Are these yet in existence ?\ \ I don't know. Mrs. Brown might know.\ \I'll go and ace,\ exclaimed Dick, startling like a shot, and darting out of the house and down the street at full speed. I In about, half nn hour ho came rushing I delightedly back; and catching Ellen in his arms, ho whirled her round and round the room, kissing her and shouting \ Shu is my sister ! She is my sister! My own dear sister. She is indeed!\ \ But tell us hoff you can bo so sure of the thing, my boy,\ said Mr. Lucas, catching Dick by the arm, and forcibly detaining him. \ IIow have \you discov- ered the faot?\ \ Oh ! I remember tho shawl—it was my mother's—I've often seen her with it. It came from England ; and I nover have seen one like it here. Beside?, the place whore I tore it, and tried to mend it my- self, so mother needn't know what I'd done, is yet there. She found mo out and whipped me, and so I nover have forgot ton how that torn place looked.— Oh! Ellen is really my own dear sister.\ \ I believe it, my boy. You've made out a fair case, even wero not hor looks enough to justify you in claiming her. How singular that you should have thus been lod to befriend your sister. How kind and wonderful arc the ways of God.\ \ Oh! yos, indeed, they are. I hope I shall always love Him better than ever now. How good He has been to me—to Ellen. Oh ! Ellen, when you learn to read about God you will soon begin to love nim, too.\ Ellen, although qu'te delighted at the turn things had taken, didn't know how to express her feelings, so she said very little. The work of her education was imme- diately commenced, aud it rapidly pro- gressed, and it was not long before Eilen proved herself to be the possessor of an active and intelligent mind. Thus it chanced that, through tho influence of the Sabbath school, which as a means had found in Dick Forest the desire to be con- stantly doing good to some one, he was led to rescue from poverty and degrada- tion his own and only sister, who was ev- er after his comfort aud delight. Sha is a woman now, and a happy and hotiored wife and mother; but never will she for- get the day when, from behind her dusty apple stand, she saw that noble-looking lad coine bounding towards hor, sent by their Heavenly Father to deliver his si— ter from her bindage, and lift her up to the citato of a happy, well taught child. \ When their father and mother forsook theni, then the Lord took them up \ A Sabbath Parable. A devoted Christian, who is never at a loss for moans aud modes of approach to strangers on religious subjects, was lately passing over the noble common in Brooklyn, on the site of Fort Greene, on a Sabbath morning, whon ho, obsi rved a group of half-grown youthB obviously in- tent upon finding their own pleasure, if possible, on God's holy day. To ap- proach them with reproof would have been merely to excite a profano scoff; so lie sauntered near them with a careless air, and after seating himself on the grass and pausing idly for a few moments said, in a pleasant, familiar way: \ Boys, I'll tell you a story.\ They gathered around unsuspecting, and he proceeded as follows : \ There was once a good man, noted for his kindness and liberality, who was traveling in a lonely spot, whon he met a man who represented himself as hav- ing suffered a great loss, and consequent- ly in distress. With the greatest kind- ties*, he instantly drew out his purse, and, after examining it, said, ' I have only seven dollars ; lean got to the end of my journey, and you shall have the rest;' and with that ho handed him the six dol- lars. Would you not think the beggar must have gone off very grateful and con- tented ! No such thing. He was no beggar, but a robber; and. seeing that the good man had -still one dollar in his possession, to obtain that he drew a pis- tol and shot him dead \ The hearers expressed, in their several ways, the heartiest abhorrence at this shocking turn of the story, and one even ventured to doubt the possibility of any thing so base. But here he was caught; for our friend turned upon him with a charge of similar and still baser ingrati- tude in his own person. He reminded him of One who emptied, not a purse, but his heart for his benefit; who gave hiin freely six days out of seven, and retained but one, to be devoted to his worship. \And now,\ said he, \you are so mean, you are robbing him ofthat!\ The boys hung their heads, without a word to say; aud presently tho group dissolved, and its members stole away in different directions. A Story of the Battle Field. A sohtier was wounded in one of the battles of the Crimea, and was carried out of the field; ho felt that his wound was mortal:—that life was quickly ebbing away—and he said to his comrades who wore carrying him; \ Put mo down; do not trouble to carry mo any further; I am dying.\ They put him down and returned to the field. A fuw minutes after a n officer saw tho man weltering in his blood, and asked him if he could do any thing for him. \ Nothing, thank you.\ \ Shall I get you a little wator 1\ Safe-j ed the kind-hearted officer. \ No, thank you; I am dying.\ • \ Is there nothing I can do for you? ! Shall I wi ite to your friends 1\ ' \ I have no friends you can write to. But there is on^ thing for which I would be much obliged ; in my knapsack you will find a Testament—will you open it at the 14th of John, and near the end of that chapter you will find a verse that be-, gins with ' Peace.' Will you read it ?\ The officer did so, and read the word\ i ' Peace I leave with you, my peace I give urito you ; not at tho world giveth • give I unto you. -Let not your heart bo : troubled, neither let it be afraid.' | \Thank you, sir,\ said the dying' man ; \ I have that peace ; I am going to that Savior ; God is with me ; I want no more;\ and instantly expired.— Old Jonathan. Hints to Farmer* Toads are the best protection of cab- bage against lice. Plants, when drooping, are revived by a few grains of camphor. Pears are generally improved by graft- ing on the mountain ash. Sulphur is valuable in preserving grapes, &c, from insects. Lard no\er spoils in warm weather, if it is cooked enough in trying uut. In feeding corn, sixty pounds ground go as far as one hunlrod pouuds iu the kernel. Coin meal ahuuld nover be ground very fine, it injures the richness of it. Turnipi of small six,- have douM< the nutritious matter thst large on\ s ha\e. Kits and other vermin arc kij.t away from grain by sprinkling of garlic when packing the shoavs. Money expended in drying land, by draining or otherwise, will be return.-d with ample intorest. To cure scratches on a horse, wash their legs with warm soap suds and then with beef brine. Two applications will cure the worst case.

Tin FECI LIAIUTIES or CAST AND WttoruBT IRON.—These two kinds of material are very different iu their physi- cal as well as in their mechanical proper- ties. Cast iron is s hard, rigid, crystal- line, unmaileal-le (.ub.stanco, which pre- sents a great- resistance to a force of com- pression, but a comparatively small re- sistance to that of cx'iiision ; aud, from its low degree of ductility, it undergoes but little clonga'uni when actrd upon by a tensile force. On the contrary, wrought iron is a flexible, milleabV, due-' tile~5iihstancp, which presents a great re- sistance to a force of extension, but some- what loss resistance to that of compres- sion—undergoing, from its high ductility, a considerable elongation when acted up- on by a tensile force. When the two metals are released from tho action of the tensile force, the set of tho one metal dif- fers widely from the set of the other. The flexibility of wrought iron is from eight to ten times greater than that of cast iron. Under the saino temperature the expansion of wrought iron is consid- erably greater than that of cast iron. While wrought iron yields to a stroke, cast iron is readily broken by a severe collision, or by any violent, vibratory ac- tion. \ Och! don't put faith in what that man s.iys,\ said Tim Ryan, \ when ho never cares about speaking tho truth any how. He tould mo t'other day, yer lord- ship was not so fit to fill tho chair of juj- ticc as a jackass!\ \Ajc Aye! \ exclaimed Viscount Kilskiddery, \ indeed, and what did you say ?\ \ Please- your lordship, I said your lord.-diip was.\ MARRY.—Jeremy Taylor says, if you aro fur pleas-mo, marry. If you prize rosy health, ninrry. A good wifu is Heaven's ln.st best gift to man—hisan- gil and minister of graco innumerable— liis gem of ninny virtues—his casket of jewels—her voice is swoet muaio—hor smiles, his brightest day—her kiss tho guardian of innocence—her arms, the pale tf his safety, the balm of his health, tho baLam of his life—her industry, his surest wealth — hor economy, his safest steward—her lips, Ids faithful counsellor —her busuni, tho softest pillow of his cares—and her prayers the ablest advo- cate of Heaven's blessing on his hoad. tST Evenings at homo are among tho delightful and most profitable privileges tho business nnd working man can onjoy if they are judicimsly provided to*. A frolic with the bnbies—a quiet chat with tho wife, an agreeable book, nuts and apples, may be—all uround a bright firo in a cosy room. On that \ bill of faro\ let the bachelor consider, aud rosolvo to \ mend his ways.\ . XJr\ Humility is tho most excellent natmal cure fur nngir in the world ; for ho that by daily considering his own iu- firuiiti.es and failings, makes tho errors of his neighbor or servant to be his own cise, aud remembers that he daily needs God's pardon aud his brother's clmrity, w-d not be apt to r:ige at the levitn-s, or misfortunes, or indiscretions of nnuther ; greater than which ho consi lers that ho is very frequently, an.l more iuexcusa- bly, guilty of.— Jeremy Taylor., f3T A man tried iu Boston for steal- ing a horse and wag-ai, being called upon to speak for hiinselt, taid: \ I have nothing to say in particular. Tho fact is when I get half or two-thirda drunk, I think everything belongs to rue.\ Whereupon the Boston Post makes this pin.uthcsis: \ There are some very sober people who act as if tb.»y think just as Joo docs when he is drunk.\ PEACH I'RES&RVES—Peaches if pro- served whole, should be gathered before th'y are fully ripe ; paro and couk tender in a little w.itcr. If iu quarto! s crack the pits of hilf the peaches and add to them. Let the syrup simuier down quito thick befiuc adding it to the fruit, and when cold, covor tight and keep free from' heat and moisture. ERGS TOR Bt-RNS—Tho whito of an eg^ has proved of late the most efficacious remedy for burns. Seven or eight suc- cessive Applications of this substanco eouthe the pain and effectually exclude tho burned parts from the air. BURNINO FLUID.—Alcohol, 3 gallons ; camphene, 1 gallon; gum camphor, 1 ounce. Diaolvo tho camphor in the alco- hol, and then mix. REFLECTIONS ON MARRIAGE.—'TllO leading features in the character of a good woman are mildness, complaifianco, and equanimity of temper. Tho man, if ho be a worthy and provident husband, is immersed in a thousand cares. His mind is agitated, his memory is loaded, and his body fatigued. He returns from the bustle of tho woild, chagrined, per- haps by disappointment, angry at inso- lent and perfidious people, and terrified lest his unavoidable connections should make him appear perfidious himself. Is this the time for the wife of his bosom, his dearest :md most intimate friend, to add to his vexation, to increase the fever of an overburdened mind by a contentious tongue, cr a discontented brow ? Busi- ness, iu its best state, is full of anxiety and turmoil. Qh ! how dear to tho memory of man is the wife who clothes her face with smiles, who uses gen tie ex- pressions, and who makes her lap soft to receive and hush his cares to rost. Thero is not in nature so fascinating an object as the faithful, tender and affectionate wife. %£~ Tho woman who made a pound of butter out of the cream of a joke, and a cheese from the milk of human kindness, has since washed tho clo-o of a year, and hung 'em to dry on a bee line. n/j- \ When a fellow is too lazy to work,'' says Sa m Slick, \ ho paints his name over the door and calls it a tavern or grocery, and makes tho wholo neigh- borhood as lazy as himself.\ 05— A jilted ehomest finds love to bo composed of fifteen part3 gold, threo of fame aud two of affection.
