MY OHIY ADVBNTUEE. BY A DENTIST. It il of no use to ask me for a ghost fltory; for thongli I hare stayed in nearly every town in England of any size, I have mel with none.

I waa abont to qnestion her, but thinking It advisable to have a witness, I commanded ber to remain where she wasj and Insured her obedience by locking the door. I roused tbe family, and as I was r^turnlilg to my prisoner, I heard my bod-room window hastily closed. " Ah !" thought I, " you are all right there for atayiuft where you are; for ths window is strongly barred." On being interrogated, she eaid my landlady, Mrs. Wingate, bad foi^ bidden ber coming to the house ; but being friendly witb tbe other servant, she ventured to visit her.
Whilst talking in the kitchen, she heard the mistress approaching, and fearing dis¬ covery, stole up stairs, crept into my room, and hid herself below the bed, intending to leave tbe house when all was quiet. My early entrance cut off her escape, and she supposed she bad fallen asleep, aa she re¬ membered nothing more till aroused by a load fit of laaghter. This seemed phiuaible and bnt for the sequel, would have But as we were about

In my early days I—^like many of my pro¬ fession—traveled from place to place, just remaining in each long enough to pocket ail tbe spare cash tho inhabitants werw willing to expend on dental ornaments. Suuietimes I made a large town the centre of my opera¬ tions, aud remained in it for months, risiting the lesser ones in the neighborhood on stated days. It was in one of oar largMt manufac¬ turing towns in the west of Eagland that I met with the adventure I am going to give yon,

After a short search, he found a very large and sharp Spanish knife, which, he presumed, was the article thrown from the window. He alao observed two fellows of suspicious appear¬ ance loitering about tbe place, and discover¬ ed them to ba father and son—men of bad oharacter, wbo got a good living—nobody knew how. He had warned them away, and returned to see if anything was amiss in the house.
On being informed of my visitor and  her
sitting-room, and sort of reception-room for patients, on the ground floor, and a first-floor bedroom, all facing the street. I always worked in the last named apartment, and had the necessary tools and materials ou a little bench near the window. Here I generally took my station, and spent the time, from lix or seven in tha evHuiag till miduit;ht, as I was then leis h'able to interruption.
My apartments were  all  furnishad  with gas-burners, and before winter set in, I added

No one present at her examination entertained tbe slightest donht that, during tbe ^hort time she was in Mrs. "Wingate's house, after I Iiecame au in¬ mate of it, ahe bad remarked tbe materials I used, and that a regular plan liad been organized to rob, and, perhaps,   murder me.

old apartments vacant, I gladly took posses¬ sion of them a second time. 4 During my former stay, I made many agreeable acquaintances, and now—it being near Chriatmas—I received many invitations 0 supper parties, etc., which I fancy were not tbe less numerous because I was still a bachelor.
On Christmas eve I accepted one to spend it witb a friend at his father's honse, where tbere was a charming family of sons and daughters. The father was a fine, jovial old fellow, and the mother just the cheerful, but even-tempered gentle soul, who alone could bring up such girls as hers.    We had a glori-

He approached my bed, draw aside  the
agreeable correspondent:
"Some years ago I wag traveling on tbe Eastern shore of Maryland, and stopped for the nigbt at tbe house of a gentleman by the name of Jones.    He was not at home, but fats
curtains and though I dnrat not look, I felt wife received me very politely, though I was he was gazing In my faoe.

gronnd. The brute sprang upon me. He tugged—and so did I—with might and main, I was getting the worst of it, wben, suddenly recollecting that any sort of attack is lawful and that one may be permitted to waive cere¬ mony witb a bear, I seized tbe creature's ear between my teeth, and bit tbe piece complete¬ ly out. He dropped me like a hot potato.— The Indricronsly pitiful bowl, and the way in whicb he applied the paw just taken from my waist, to his wounded ear, was too mnch. I burst into a perfect roar of laughter, and BO much noise did I make tbat it awoke me. I was still laughing at thia whimsical via¬ ion, and wondering if it had any reference to an apprentice who was to come uuder my care on the morrow, and who was, truly, as uncouth a looking cub as any gentleman need have to lick into shape, when I heard, not a ghost—they make no noise—but a sort of an uneasy grunt, theu a yawn, such as a person emits when disturbed from a sound sleep. I listened attentively, lying perfectly still, and, iu a momeut, distinctly felt some thing move below the bed. I knew no one oould bave entered after I laid down, aa lam a light sleeper, and tbe door was too well se¬ cured to be opened without noide. I there¬ fore felt sure they bad been uuder tbe bed before I commenced working, and, having fallen asleep, been awakened by the boister¬ ous laughter which had also dispelled my own droam.
What was I to do ? I feared the momeut I Bet foot on the fioor I sboald be seized, and what could I—a littlo fellow, almost naked, and unarmed,—do against one, or perhaps more, doubtless prepared for a struggle ?
Oddly enough, the remembrance of my dream gave me courage. I had loaded pis¬ tols in *htt room, and, once out of bed, should be able to seize them in a moment. I resolv¬ ed to leap ont and secure the weapons before lighting the gas, since I, beiug, as I presumed batter acquainted with tbe arrangement of the furniture, m ght manage in the dark to elude my antagonist. These thoughts occu¬ pied but a few seconds; in as mauy more the pistols were iu my band, and tbe gaa lighted. The intruder did not venture to ap¬ pear, and the delay gave me courage. I bold. iy commanded that individual to advance, and take the chance of a bullet. Something immediately began to move, and 1 boou saw the cause of my alarm. What was it, think you ? You cannot guess. I will tell you : it was a woman! I see you are all beginning to laugh; and I suppose you think tbere ia some long story in the case; and tbat a dam¬ sel, beautiful aa a Hourt, or a heroine—which is all the same—whom I had wooed only to betray, had concealed herself there to re¬ proach me with my broken vowa, etc., etc.
All wrong. Tbe deuce a bit of romance is there in the whole affair. Had you seen tbe coarse, aullen, ill-favorpd woman who stood before me, wrapped in a dingy plaid shawl, you would not suspect anch a thing; espe¬ cially aa you havo seen a specimen of my taste iu the shape of the lady who bears my name.
After all, the scene waa droll enough.	
There stood I, shivering in my night habili¬ ments, pistol in band, ready to interrogate my visitor. She looked carving knivea in return; but not seeming in the least shock¬ ed at my scanty garments, though evidently desiroua of turning her back botb on tbem and tbe wearer. On looking, I thought her features seemed familiar, and I reooUeoted
All sorts of joyous Christmas fun was car¬ ried on, and I kissed pretty girls under the mistletoe, until either witb that pleaaant ex¬ ercise, or with quenching tbe thirst it excited, I became slightly elevated. I was to dine there next day, and my friends wonld fain bave pennaded me to stay there all night; but 1 was determined to return to my lodg¬ ings, as I knew Mrs. Wingate would sit np for me. I was past midnight when I bade my kind entertainers good-nigbt, and with a hasty, but not too steady step, set out ou my homeward journey.
I was soou at bome and in bed. Mra. Wingate bad more tban once laughed about the odd figure I cut ou the occasion of my first adventure. She bad also informed me tbat tbe two men who had played the street part, had been detected whilst attempting to commit a burglary, and imprisoned for twelve months ; but were now at liberty. Tbe good lady manifested no small uneasiness on my account, aud cautioned me to be very care¬ ful not to give tbem auy opportunity of ex¬ ecuting their threats of vengeance against me.
Her evident timidity and anxiety only excited my mirth, hut I waa, neverlhelesa, careful to examine tbe tasteninga of my door, aud always both looked and bolted it.
When I reached my lodgings on Christmas^ eve, I was, as I said, a little elevated, and, contrary to my usual cnatom, on getting into bed could not sleep.
I began thinking over the amusementa of the evening, criticifiing the fair faces I had been ao close to, wishing I had auch a cheer¬ ful bome ; speculating as to the chance o*^ success in the event of my asking one ofthe paid fair damsels to part with her name in favor of mine, and thanking my stars that, at any rate, I should he a guest at the same place on ihe morrow. The clock struck two, and found my thoughts still busy ; but a sudden check was j^iven to the current of my ideas. I heard a sort of grating sound, and then felt certain some one was moving stealthily up the kitchen staira. At first I was a littlo alarmed, imagining thieves were in the house, and then—pshaw ! thought I Mra. Wiug.ate bas been sitting up later than usual, to finish her Chriatmas pudding. It is rather singular tbat my former adventure did not then enter my mind ; though it bad occurred in thai very spot. I listened again. The footsteps were certainly audible, olose
to my room door—a hand was on the lock	
it turned—they were stealing along the floor of my apartment—I became sensible of the presence of two peraons—and now I felt all the horror of my situation. Every iota of what had formerly happened there, the men acep of the two fellows who had then, doubt¬ less, been disappointed of their prey, and I tho thought of my own powerlessness nearly drove me mad.
Pool, idiot, tbat I was—I had in my tipsy folly rushed upon my /ate.
I had refused the cordial invitation whicb wonld have secured me from all danger, and had even neglected securing the door of my room, almost for the first time within my recollection. I became aware of a dim light; and, partially opening my eyes, I perceived two rascals fumbling aboat a lantern. I am not ashamed to own I was perfectly para¬ lysed with terror, aud utterly incapable of
doing anything—indeed, what could I do ?	
I saw them remove the   candle from the lantern, and oonvert my inkatandinto a can-
waiting there all nigbt."
The young mau tumbled over the articles that bad beeu displao^ in tbeir search for plunder, and not finding what he sought, in¬ quired, with another oatb, what his father had done with the knife. At firat, the latter seemed puzzled, and then informed his son, with an equally elegant expletive, that be bad left it on the pautry shelf down  below.
The younger bitterly cursing him for a greedy fool, wbo must begin to eat before the work was done, bade him fetch it.
" Well, Bill," replied his parent, "that bam was stunning, and you know you couldn't staud those 'ere cheese-cakes; but won't this do for him?"—banding him up one of my pistols.
" Yea, a pretty thing; fire, kick up a row and be scragged for it-that would pay nicely. Fetch tho knife and have no more jaw; or we ahall wake tbe chap, instead of sending him up quietly to spend bia Christmas iu heaven, without any iuvitation. He chuckled, and tbe old fellow seemed equally delighted at his sou's wit; then taking up the caudle went off to fetch the knife.
All their motions bad been so noiselessly performed, and the conversation carried on in a tone so wonderfully clear, though low, tbat 1 was astonished at tbe perfection they had attaiued in tbeir horid craft. During the father's absence, the son waa not idle. He actually loosed the collar of my shirt, and then stood quietly awaiting tbe other's return. Yon could uever imagine, unless placed in aimilar circumstances, what a multitude Of thoughts passed through my mind in a few brief minutes. I verily believe tbat every Christmas, witb its accompaniments of fun and feasting at which I had assisted since I was tbe height of the table, was reviewed in turn. Then I thought of the morrow, and the fair girls I had left, and how, an hour be¬ fore, I was full of hope that, ere another Cbristmas came round, [should call one my own. Still I fonnd time for earnest prayer, and to think of alt sorts of expedients to escape my impending fate. Once I fancied, now there was only one to contend with, I might do something; but just then the touch of the muacnlar hand on my throatreminded me that a movement would cauae my instant destruction. Indeed, I have often wondered that the fellow did uot strangle me in hia im¬ patience. How bitterly did I reproach my" self for not raising the alarm when the foot¬ steps first became audible.
At length the fellow gnashed bis teetb with rage, and uttering a smothered excla¬ mation of " Hang tbe tippling beast, he's at the wine again !" be also left the appartment to recall his truant parent, and fetch the im¬ plement of murder.
Now was my time, and you may believe I lost none. The instant he left the room, I was on my feet; noiselessly I approached the door, dashed it to, turned tbe key, shot the bolt, lighted the gass, and once more I stood, my heart ready to leap into my throat witb joy and thauk fullness, witb mytrusty pistols in my baud.
Their was no chance of their re-entering for their skeleton keys lay on my bench, and every article of plunder was tbere also; for intending to return, tbey bad not convey¬ ed it from the room.
1 made noise enough from the window ; my bosteas and ber damsel, now aroused, joined in the chorus, aud soon, at the head of a host of alarmed neighbors and a couple of policemen, we searched the house from top to bottom. One of the men I knew bad left the premises, as I beard him dash over tbe area railings, and donn tbe street; but tbe elder ruffian we discovered, stupidly drank iu tbe cellar, the danger of his pssition not having sufficed to prevent his indulging bia favorite propensity, wheu temptation was so strong. We found they bad gained admittance by cutting away the zinc from the pantry win¬ dow, their skeleton keys having made tbe rest easy. Bill, the younger ruffian, was too well known to escape detection. He was captured in a few hours, and both he aud bis father eventu¬ ally obtained a free passage to a distant land in a vessel provided for that purpose by Her Most Gracious Majesty.
The affair made a prodigious sensation, and I became the lion of all the Christmas parties tbat year ; and the extraorainary sympathy manifested by a fair individual at the recital of my atory, brought about a most satisfac¬ tory explanation. My next Christmas din¬ ner was eaten in my own home, with her as its mi.'itress.
I have often blessed my stars that good Mrs. Wingate was not a member of the Total Abstinence Society ; for had it uot beeu for tbe liberal plenishing her cellar underwent a few days before Christmas, ia readiness for the sons aud daughters who were to gather round her, and celebrate in her house that true home festival, my throat would have been in no condition to perform its functions when that time arrived.
Thus have I told the only adventure of any consequence iu which I ever played a part, and, let me add, that whereaa rich and poor alike welcome Christmas as a season for joy and thankfu ness, I doubt whether any feel more keen emotiona of tbe kind than I do, since it recalls to mind aiT adrlitional mvcy vouchsafed at tbat period.
farmer, Mr. Brown, bad a very troubleaomo

One day, just as the farmer bad got him out and tied bim up, this pedler oame along, and wauted to sell bis tin ware. Mr. Brown said he would sell him the old ram, and take his pay in tin. The pedler took him up, offering him two dollars' worth of his truck for the ugly old sheep ; the farmer agreed, picked out his tin things, tbe pedler hoisted the ram, with legs tied, into his con¬ founded old cart, and drove right along here to my house, and had the impudeuce—yes, the scoundrel had!—to tell me the. ram had been imported from England by order of one of the rich farmers, Jeffers, own the coun¬ try, and he had agreed lo take it to him; it had cost $200 on landing, and be was to have $250 for it wben be delivered it to Mr. JefferB, but he was so tired of having the plaguey thing in hia wagon that he would take $100 for it at the first chance ho could get.

CALiFORNfA RoMASCE.—We recently copied from a CaHfornia paper a .statemnnt that a wealthy American gentleman had fallen in love, at first sight, with a fairFreneh girl who tendHf] her brother's bar at Sau Francisco, and was tn marry her. Thia plfasaiil Httia romance, however, is destroyed by the last arrival from California, hut is succeeded by another quite as " Freuchy" The name pf tbe fair one wasTbereseHuna. Mademoiaelle's charms were uot hidden under a hn.>-hel; her fame had spread far and wide, and many were the susceptible young men who had sworn allegiance to ber away. Among others were two Italian barbers, one named Martlu and tbe other Sears, who had bowed beforo hor aceptre long ere tho impressible Yaukee sur¬ rendered at discretion. Martin had a tempo¬ rary aucceas, and about five months ago was engaged to be married to tbe lovely Thereae; but the brothers of the damsel had higher notions for their sister, and not being satis- fled with Martin's profession and prospects, : broke the match off. This weighed upon the poor fellow's mind so mnch that be became half distracted, and would often wander around the bouse all night. He would also frequently be seen sitting in the window of an Italian restaurant, on the opposite side of the street, for whole days, endeavoring to keep tbe object of bis affections in view.
While this drama was being enacted, the American gentleman made his appearance, was captivated by the Iwwitching Theresa at the first glance, and at the secoud ofiered his hand aud throw his fortunes at her feet.—
His suit was warmly seconded by Therese's brothers, bnt, unfortunately, the Anglo Saxon could speak no French, and tbo French beau¬ ty could speak no English. With true Yan¬ kee spirit and persever-'nce, however, our countryman procured the services of an in¬ terpreter, bnt his wooing was vain. Tbe language of love admits of no^, transmitting process, and his vows fell upon tbe ears of Tberese like rays of refracted light, deprived of their natural w.irmth and glow. They did not reach her heart.
Meanwhile, Sears, the second Italian artist of the razor, who, on account of his personal attractions and thn grace with which be wield¬ ed tbe instuments of his profession, was call¬ ed "Count de Shears," bad been wooing the

A Kentucky correspondent is responsible for the following excellent atory, true to the life :
"When Henry Clay was a young aud a brilliant member of the Legislature of Ken¬ tucky, one of thu uid Buckskins heard him quote the Commou Law of England as de¬ cisive in the caae tiieu under discussion.— The old fellow was astonished, aud, jumping up,begau:
**' Mr. Spt'akor, I want to know, sir, ef what that geutleman said is true ? Are we all living uuder old English law V
" The Speaker informed the anxious in¬ quirer that the Common Law was recognized ai part of the law of the laud.
"' Well, sir,' resumed Buckskin, 'when I re_ member that our fathers, aud some of us, fit, bled, aud died, to he free from English law, I don't want to bo under any on it auy longer. And I make a motion that it be repealed right away.'

Items Phom the Expbribscb op A Distin- ODisiiED Dairy Fauher.—One of the dairy farmer's of Yorkshire, England, has made a great mauy accurate experiments and obser¬ vations in feeding his cows and. iu dairy management generally, and from the latest report of his experiments, Sec, communicated to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, we make the following (quotations and con¬ densed abstracts :
Mr. Horsfall, tho gentleman referred to, finds that when house feeding or soiling is pracliced in addition to depasturing iu sum¬ mer, he obtains richer milk and larger pro¬ fits, thau when cows get nothing but the graas of the pastures. His modes of feeding haT»jbeen stated in former voltitoes of this paper; and if labor were as cheap and as easily obtained iu this country aalu England, we presume his example might be followed with advantage.
According to the modes of feeding common with dairy farmers iu Mr. Ilorflfall'a neighbor" hood, the supply of butter in winter usually 'The motion was seconded. The Kentucky   falls off to one-fourth of what they produce in
