A YOUNG lady in St. Louis was innocent
ly placed in a rather embarrassing position
not long since. 1t seems that pretty little
child, nicely arranged in basket, had been
laid on the door step of certain gentleman 8
house, and that man was seen to place the
basket there and then beat a hasty retreat.
Attached to the basket was card, with the
name of a very respectable young lady on it.
This fact was afterward explained by her
stating that it was stolen from her while she
was out shopping, end she had purchased it
at a we'll known store for the purpose of
using it at basket picnic.

In the riots in New York, in 1868, one of
the men specially obnoxious to the mob was
Mr.. Parsons, the Quaker Abolitionist of
Flushing, and it was given out that they
would surely pay him a visit and destroy his
beautiful grounds and nurseries. But he was
prepared for them. He has vast number of
bees, hundred hives and more. These he
ranged along the road in front of his grounds,
with the machinery to turn them over when
the rioters should come. and give them a
buzzing and stinging welcome in the cloud
of those faithful workers. The attack, how
ever, was not made

Caution to the Unfortunate.

Beware of the San Francisco quacks and pre-
tenders who with bogus sworn-to certificates, dupe
the unwary. Some Of the self-styled doctors,
whose names are to be found in the daily and
weekly newspapers of San Francisco and other
places, are tradeSmen and became too lazy to work
at their trades. Some tinsmiths, shoemakors,
newspaper carriers, intelligence office Keepers &c.
Look over the San Francisco directory and you
will not find their Medical Institutions in it, Look
at the Directory for 1862 and 1868. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing, and may save you many regrets for,
as advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is safety in trusting any of
them until you know who and what they are. Dr.
Gibbon does not deceive people by exhibiting bogus
titles, certificates, pretended patients letters &c.
DR.. Gibbon will satisfy persons who may call at
his office of his ability to treat diseases that he
proposes to cure.
Consultation FREE.

TIE Kiss THAT MADE PAINTER.-A little
reader of the Children's Hour, who found in
the first number this sentence: " the great
artist, Benjamin West, said a kiss from
my mother made me painter, wants to
know what it means. We will give the anec.
dote referred to: A little boy named Benja.
min West, living in Pennsylvania, was set to
watch a baby asleep in a cradle. He looked
at it kindly. and felt pleased to see it smile in
its sleep He wished he could draw picture
of the baby and seeing piece of paper
on the table, with pen and ink, he tried what
he could do When his mother came in, he
begged her not to be angry with him for
touching the pen. ink and paper, and then he
showed her the picture be had made. His
mother saw the baby's likeness, and was so
much pleased that she kissed her little boy.
Then he said. if she liked it. he would make
a picture of some flowers she held in her
hand and so he went on from that time,
trying to do better and better, until be be-
came one of the best painters in the world.
10 after life, he said that it was this kiss
from his mother that made him painter.
