There was no man in the household, and no woman strong enough or brave enough tocompel Aunt Mehitabel to get back into the room.

Ican’tfeel at home there some way. Last week I had a mouth full of tooth- ache, and it bulged out my jaw about a foot. The pain could not be told, though I had it right at the end of my tongue. People could hear itache clear across the street. I dreaded to get it pulled for the dentist said it would be necessary for me to be there in person, andit could not be done by telephone, and I could not send a hand, or I would have sent my mother-in-law gladly. The family said if that tooth growled half as much as I did it must hurt awful. Its very heart throbbed for me wildly, but I could not encourage the attach- ment. I wanted to get away from that tooth. When I was forced to go tothe dentist, he told me to take that seat and put on one of my sweetest smiles and he would take the tooth in a second. I was in hopes he couid take it with a camera, but he did not have one by. I feared he would get the wrong one, but he said he could see it aching as if it was being paid. Iasked himif it was necessary for him to be in the neighborhood, and he said it was. I was in hopes it would jump out itself, it was such a jumper. When he got hold of it he only suc- ceeded in pulling a yell outof my mouth half a mile long. He told me to shut my mouth or I would wake up all the babies on the block. I told him if I did shut my mouth he could not get at the tooth. Then he spiton his hands and took a fresh grip, put his foot on my stomach and pulled. At last iteame out to see what was going on. My neck was stretched out a foot and hasn't gone clear back yet. But the old tooth—it looked like the forks of the road. It was a wisdom tooth; but it was very un- | wise. I tell you I felt proud. Well, I hope you will succeed in mak- | ing Chicago howl, I am nearly out of | teeth, and I wish, while you are at it, sou would pull me a few good ones. I | do not know where your office is, but I jean find it if I go to Chicago, by stand- | ing on the corner and listening.—A. W LER, MO | Ballaw, in Light affairs. Hesides his business as a drug- gist and bookseller, he, with Adam Bab- cock, owned three vessels engaged in the West India trade. They were the brigantine Fortune. forty tons, the Charming Sally. thirty tons, and the ! Three Brothers, twenty-eight tons. Arnold never took particular pains tc see that all custom house dues were paid; in fact, he was very lax in this particular. It is related that once on a time a sailor on beard one of his vessels reported some of these laxities to the collector of the port. The report was made on Sunday, and the collector re- fused to receive it, and told the sailor tocome again on Monday. In the mean- time Arnold had heard of the sailor's tale bearing. Before Monday came Arnold adopted a course of moral and physical suasion which compelled the ‘sailor to teave town with his tale untold. Arnold’s laxity in regard to the cus- toms laws was probably not much greater than that of his neighbors. Indeed, tc evade the customs was a virtue rather than a fault, for it was regarded as a justifiable method of protest against taxation without representation. Arnold’s property was confiscated af- ter his treachery at West Point was dis- covered. Pierpont Edwards acted on the government’s administration and sold the property to Captain Isaac Prout. Captain Prout made only a partial pay- ment, and was unable to meet the sub- sequent payments as they became due. In this way the property came into the bands of Noah Webster, the lexicogra- pher, and he lived there for some years, finally selling it to James Hunt, a West India merchant, who devised it to his daughter, wife of D. Goffe Phipps, of this city. The house still remains in Mrs. Phipp’s possession, although it has been almost dismantled.
