GLEANINGS. FALSE TEETH. A Newark husband brought home a hunk of molasses candy for his wife the other evening. His wife wears false teeth. The candy was of an adhesive nature. She helped herself to a generous hunk, and planted both rows of teeth in it. There they remained. Strenuous were her efforts to release them, but she was not successful. She wanted her mouth free that she might say something to him. She wanted to say something to him that the candy not only prevented, but the tone of which, from its prominent quality, it destroyed. But she could not get her jaws apart. Then she went to the sink, and dropped the whole mass, teeth and candy, into a basin. Again she looked at him as if she were on the point of saying something he would be interested in; but every effort was broken up and destroyed by the orphaned jaws. Imagine a woman - a direct descendent of Eve - in such a fix. Think of the mighty thoughts surging and battling through her brain; think of the torrent of eloquence bursting from her throat with a roar, and striking out into the air a vapour; think of the blazing eyes, the distended nostrils, the trembling frame, the nervous hands ! Picture her thus, tearing the miserable candy from her glistening teeth, and comprehend, if you can, O man, the velocity with which the freed teeth were slapped into their place, and with which that wretched man subdued his merriment, and tore out of that house.
