CHICKEN SrEALING.-On last Saturday night,
Mr. 5. f. Scott, of Scots bridge, at Lower CAL
avcritas, heard an unusual noise in his hen coop,
which led to search. On looking up the cause
OF the night "squall," Mr. S. discovered the
eucrious dangling habiments of Chinaman,
with a chicken in one hand and a sack in the
other, just ready to commence a foul business.
Mr. Scott put on an injunction in the shape of
. fast and furious" licks from his cane, which
brought John to terms and surrender. John
was marched to Lower Calaveritas, where he
received fifty lashes and the loss of his cue
Lnch-e no good, John no sabe-he." The
question now is, if chickens try to bite Chi
naman, has he right tc get even by returning

MERIT AND PosITIoN.-The difference between
n man of merit and man of position, is this
the latter is man of his day, the former is the
man after his day.
There was King in England when Shaks-
peare lived there, and doubtless every child in
the realm knew his name Familiarity; but how
many knew the name of the poor piay-writer 7
But now, almost every child who speaks the En-
glish language knows Of Shakespeare and his
writings. How many Of them knows Of James
and his writings? Very few. Thus the man of
high position died with his position aud his day;
but the man Of merit only began to live when
he died.
The author of "Don Quixote" is known by
his works throughout the world; but who can
tell about the men Of position-the King, if a
King-or the mobiles, or the fine gay ladies who
lived when Cervantes was writing the adven-
lures Of the "Knight of the Rueful Counte.
nance ~
Who was Governor OF Virginia when Patrick
Henry fired his fellow-men with his eloquence ?
Yet every American boy knows fPatrck Hen
ry. And yet we think that the Governor must
have been better known in his day than the or
ator.
Thus it is, position is thing of to-day, while
merit is thing of all time; and when Joined to
that rarest of all things-an upright, blameless
life-it becomes star in eternity, a reverend
ing light in the eternal sky of truth.

A CARD FROM DIR. J. c. YouNG,s PRIVATE MEDICAL

A CARD FROM DR.. j. c. YOUNG'S PRIVATE MEDICAL
IA OFFICE-To the afiicted.-ln this age Of progress
when science Is almost miraculous everything in
place Is looked upon not worth notice. In view of this
hc Dr. Young (corner Of Montgomery and California SITS
up stairs has concluded to leave the beaten track hther
to pursued by most scientific physicians hat of waiting
for the public to find you alone and publish to the world
much may be- his knowledge OF the healing art to let
those who need Of assistance know where they can
find relief without fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation Of this subject, Dr. Young would say,
that for the past ten he has pursued the practice OF
medicine in one of the largest cities in the United States
with highest success and that his standing physi
clan is without repoach having at one time been lecturer
at the University Of Pennsylvania veneral diseases
Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself TO the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit.
The following are few of the many testimonials which
have appeared in the public journals within the last few
years.
TFrom the Boston Medical Journal
Although we are opposed TO the system of advertising
for good and sufficient still we deem it but justice
to say that Dr. Young Is Of the most industrious and
indeatgable yoares of medical science in the United
States.
TFrom Professor JasksOn
The subscriber personally acquainted DR.. Young and
has seen much his practice and bear testimony to
his merits q practitioner.
from the New York Herald1
The eminence of this distinguished gentleman in his pro-
sson and the very extended opportunities possessed by
him for the observation of vcnerial disease makes his
plants
from the Wing and Advertiser.
All afflicted with private complaints should If possible,
consult Dr. Young whose medical education Is not
passed by any Physician in the Country In his skill hon
or and integrity all may rely with safety, while most Of
the medical practitioners in this city without honesty
respecaby their preensions being grounded in igno
