Scraper, Esq. Sir, I DOMT know what you meant when you urged me to visit town; you told me 1 should find the folks very clever, and see j a great many line things. I partly believed you ; and so yesterday, I paid a visit to my wile's halt sister,- Mrs. Tumblcup, who, you I know, lives in a house jammed m among a great pile of houses, with' a door-yard about us widi as a carrot-bed. . I got ,to town a bout 1C o'clock in the morning: and on en quiring cl a young feilow whetc sisier lived, hv told me to ride down street to the cor ,wr thf irr. rn turn and he nriutiliir-iifi'ue v.

The next nun 1 spoke to proved a little civil , he went will, me till he could point out the house, and ' then wished me good morning. 1 found sHtcr.s folks all at breakfast, late as 'twas -they seemed glad enough to sec me, hut looked crooked at my old boots ; and when I asked where I should turn the old torse, they went to the door, and printed sway down street told me that Mr. 's sUole was there. I thought this plaguy odd, see ing I'd come a cousining----howcver I Lei pan to think I muit do as I wa bid -so 1 scrambled awny through the mudnnd srw old Soi. din a brick stable as big ai a jwecting-HOuse.

The sweat ran down my face with mere vexation ; but at length, as I was doleful hungry I made a gready bite at my bread : in doing this I. tilted the teu-cup in 'tother hand, ;so ' that sister's hyson slopp'd over on my fin ger's and scalded me so intolerably, that down -went bread and butter, tea-cup and all. The butter side of the bread fell sput on the knee of my new velvet breeches; and the hyson, -after scalding my knee "to a blisttr, rundown my baotto my very toes ; Up I jtimp'd and caper'd about the room like a. bell sheep ; the boys and. girls ran out of the room, and left sister and me toge ther. I wiped ray. velvets, while she was picking up the fragments of the tea-cup i and as she carried them into the kitchen, I seized my hat, took a French Wave, got old Sorrel, from the stable, and after a ride of five hours I got safe home at ten o'clock night. -. ... I need not 'tell you that our folks were dolefully frightened to see me return at that hour. I shall conclude with telling you, that, if you happen to call pretty soon, you nu.'y see my new velvets half , spoilt -poor me? limping round the house with a scald on my knee as big as a leather apron and Wife a scolding like a bedlamite, because, as she says, I've disgraced the family.

It is the opinion of many persons who are , unacquainted with the proper art of curing " the Scurvy, that the operations he pertorms necessary thereto, are injurious to tlte teeth, but with deference he begs leave to assure them, that time wdl prove the contrarv, and that'it is incurable without removing the cal- carious earth which surrounds the teeth and appears in a .black or yellow crust above the gums, and which often irritates, inflames and,. consmnes the guni's and boney processes un til' the teetli become so loose that even by- drawing the breath they may be felt to move and by the pressure of the tongue f hej often full out. :IIence to promote swee.tpess of breath and to preserve Ihe teeth from decay it is absolutely necessary to cleanse them by removing the above described substance vul garly called Tartar, the only sure means of curing the Scurvy in the gums and restoring the teeth to thcif natural perfection ; which is done without making use of any kind of acid whatever.
