is one of a series of pamphlets entitled "Life Assurance Leaflets by one of the editors of the Life Assurance Gazette" intended to point out to all the necessity of Life Assurance as a provision for a family and the danger of delay—life and health being too uncertain ever to rely upon its being tomorrow as it is to-day . Bro . Sharman writes smoothly , and doubtless his "leaflets" will tend to assist Life Assurance agents in increasing their connections .
On the Loss of Teeth ; and on the best Means of Restoring them . By THOMAS HOWARD , Surgeon Dentist to His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury . London : Simpkin and Marshall . —This is a valuable little treatise on all the dental maladies that flesh is heir to , written in plain and intelligible language ; and though scientific , is by no means abstruse . The author considers the various causes of tooth-ache , and the best means of preserving the teeth . After some remarks upon their value and importancehe
pro-, ceeds to notice the injury caused to the general health of the patient by loose and deficient masticators—the necessity of perfect teeth -for the functions of the voice—and the chemical composition of the human teeth . He describes at some length , the diseases of these organs , and has a chapter upon the exciting cause of dental caries . Having shown how people lose their teeth , he points out the remedy for their loss , and the philosophical principles upon which artificial teeth are formed . The system of which Mr . Howard is the
originator , appears , from the description in this little book , to answer every requirement for mastication , or for the improvement of the personal appearance of the patient , and has the advantage of being unattended witii any pain .

Let 11 s try to Meet 2 rouble Half way . A Song , by W . T . PASSMORE . Music by FREDERICK SFIUNOATX . London - . Z . T . Purday , 45 , High Holborn . —A very pretty melody , though not so original in its ' phraseology as to strike us with the novelty of its conceptions ; yet it is the kind of song that pleases the ear , and tells the words in a manner that does not confound their sense . The accompaniment is simple enough for the most moderatel y informed player to execute ; an attribute of-no mean service to the sale of
the publication ; it aims only to be subservient to the air , and as such is very successful . The sentiment of the song is told lip the title , and is subversive of one of the most ancient adages in the language , viz ., "Never meet troubles halfway . " The meeting a trouble on its road , instead of calmly awaiting its advent , seems to us a piece of stoical philosophy which we have no desire to emulate ; for our own parts , instead of seeking to meet the " grewsome" traveller on his forward journey , we should rather
look out for a convenient gap in tho bordering hedge , and leaving him the broad path whereon to pace with footsteps heavy and melanchol y , content ourselves with a cut across the green field , which , though it might be lonesome , would be much better for us that it were so , than for us to be companioned with one who standing between us and the light would cast over us a shadow of discontent . However , Mr . Passmore may think differentl y if so , we wish him joy of his trouble when he meets it , which we trust ( for . his sake ) may be a far distant time . -
