BILLY SMITH is carriage maker in the
shop of Pulford & Co.. in our village
Billy is genius, the gorgeous red and
yellow stripes on Pulford's wagons show !;
and while counterfeiting nature one day, for
his own amusement, in the rear Of the shop,
his mind happened to run on the subject of
rotten eggs, and forthwith one of those in
teresting objects appeared on the board be-
meath his magical brush. 1t was represent
ed ..as broken, and was so natural that an
observer might fancy that it caused dis
agreeable odor. The picture remained there
for some time, all who had occasion to go
that way not caring to disturb thing so
forbidding to the delicate senses Of the nasal
protuberance. One day Squire M saw
it and applied his fingers to his nose. Billy
saw him, and explained to him that it was
merely paint, At first he would hardly
believe, but finally convinced, he offered
Billy ten dollars to paint similar one on
his door step. The Squire was something
of a wag, and wished to see the effect pro-
dueed on the ladies and gentlemen who had
been invited to a party at his house that
evening. Billy received ten dollars, and
promised to have the painting ready in time.
Evening arrived. and so did the ladies and
gentlemen and as each in succession passed

feet and skirts, and, applying their per.
fumed aaadkerchefs to their noses, wonder
ed if the Squire was aware of the presence of
that frightful thing on his doorstep.
The party progressed, and the rotten egg
was the subject of much remark. Squire
M heard and felt jolly over the success
of his little practical joke. When everybody
was chatting at the table after supper, and
not few of them about the apparition" at

All went.

THE JACkDAW.


Just before the death of Webster, and after
his recovery was despaired OF, one OF his
ply ms approached his bedside ana asked
Lin how he found himself. " l feel ike the
jackdaw in the church steeple," was the
strange reply. The physician withdrew
sadly from the bedside to another part OF the
room,' where some members OF the iamiiy
were standing together. and, shaking his
head, confessed his apprehension that the
brain Of the dying statesman was aneeted-
that the stately oak was perishing at the top
He could see no method IN the answer which
his question received. One OF the ladies'
who knew Mr.. Webster better, did not be
lieve that his mind was wandering, and
quietly stepping to the bedside, asked him
what he meant by saying that he felt like the
jackdaw in the church steeple. Why

reply. She did remember Cowper's delight

taries of the Amazon river have been fourd
TO be navigable until within one hundred and
fifty miles from the Gulf of Guayquil This
success, which will be of the greatest impor-
tance to the commercial, agricultural and
social interests of the republic, is to a great

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, shoemakers,
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 1863. The only way
to avoid imposition is to make inquiry-it will cost
you nothing and may you many regrets for,
advertising physicians in eight out of ten
are bogus, there is bo 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.
