The principal writer of our national
music is said to be Stephen c. Foster,
author of "Uncle Ned" 20 Susannah,
&c. Mr.. Foster resides near Pittsburg,
where he occupies a moderate clcrkship,
upon which, and a percentage Oh the
sale of his songs, he depends for q liy-
ing. He writes the poetry as well as
the music of his songs. These are
sung wherever the English language is
spoken, while the music is heard wher-
ever men sing. In the cotton-felds of
the South, among the mines Of California
and Australia, in the sca-coast cities Of
China, in Paris, in London prison
everywhere, in fact, his melodies are
heard. "Uncle Eed'' was the first.
This was published in 1915, and reach
ed a sale unknown till then in the mu-
sic-publishing business. Of "The Old
Folks at home one hundred thousand
copies have been sold in this country,
and as many more in England. My
Kentucky Home and "OId Dog Tray"
each had sale of aloutseventy thousand.
All his other songs have had a great
run. All his compositions are simple,
but they are natural, and find their way
to the popular heart and link thc1nselvs
indissolubly with the best associations.

IHE NATURALIST AAPEEE AND DOGS.-IhlS cele-
brated student among animals, who at one time de-
ced against their capacity to reason, was driven by
storm into a village public house, and ordered
roasted fowl Arago in his biography of Ampere, re-
lates the circumstance and the change of the natural
lists faith as follows: Old fashions then prsaAiled
in the south Of France and turnspis were still EN-
ployed in the place of the modern jack. Neither
caresses threats blows could make the dog act his
part The gentleman interpOsed. Poor dog, indeed!
said the landlord, sharply he deserves Of your
pity, for these take place every day. Do you
know why this pretty fellow refuses to work the spit
1t is because he has taken it into his head that he and
his partner to share alike, and it is not his turn.
Ampere's informant begged that a servant might be
sent to find the other dog, who made difficulty in
performing his task. He was taken out after while
and his refractory partner put in, who began, now
that his sense of justice satisfied, to work with
thorough good will, like squirrel in cage. SINH
lar aueCdOte was related by NJ de Lianconrt to the
great Arnaud who, with other Port Royalists, had
adopted the theory Of Describes that dogs were auto
nations and machines, and who on the strength OF
this conviction dissected the poor creatures to observe
the circulation of the blood and denied that they felt
have two dogs, said the remonstrator against this
cruelty who turn the spit alternate days One OF
them hid himself and his partner about to be put
in to turn in his place. He barked and wagged his
tall as sign to the cook to follow him, went to the
garrett pulled out the truant, and worried him. Are
these your machines 2 The great Arnauld, mighty
in controversy and reloubtable in logic, must have
had latent consciousness that the tUrnspit had re
futed him.

How OLD REED WAS REFoRMED.-We once knew
"a man by the name of Reed, commonly known
q old Reed" quite notorious in his way, and whose
gious belief is, that after death he shall reappear
in the shape of some animal and thinks he will be
horse. Now q old Reed has been hard man, and
has not been in the habit of treating his family
religious man should. One day, after his wife had
suffered from neglect and borne his abuse until her
patience was completely exhausted, she determined
to give him plain lecture and to touch him upon
his religious belief; SO, resouely seating herself by
his side, and looking him full in the face, while
tear-drop glistened in her eye, she commenced:
Reed / am going to have a serious talk with you !;
have something to say to you, and you must hear
it. / have duty to perform, and Shall do it and
then if YOU are miserable hereafter it shall not be
my fault You believe, Reed that when you die you
will turn into some animal and you think you will he
horse. Now if you keep on your present course,
and contn to neglect and abuse your family squa-
dering your money for drink, when you die you will
turn into some poor old twelve shilling horse and
some old clam pedder will get you, and you will be
hard-worked and hafstaryed, and I'll you every
day in rickety old wagon, full of CLANS But now,
Reed it needn't be so. Your future may be even &C
cordinS to your theory-a bright, happy one-tor
if yowill reform, and turn right about and become
better man-be kind and atectiolate to your aml-
ly, be kind aud treat them as you should, when you
die you will turn into five hundred dollar horse, and
some West End buck will get you and give you a
bushel of oats day, rub you down with pea straw,
and have you locked and tail set up Old Reed was
converted-has reformed-and is patiently waiting
for death to introduce him into his converted horse
