Oh be not the first to discover
A blot on the nam of friend,
A flaw in the faith Of lover,
Whose heart may prove true to the end
We none of US know one another,
And oft into error we tall
Then let us speak well of each brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false and undue
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How often the light smile of gladness
1s worn by the friends that we meet,
To cover soul full of sadness
Too proud to acknowledge defeat,
How often the sigh of detection
is heaved from the hypocrlte' breast
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull a suspicion to rest.
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal,
And bosoms, the purest. sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reveal.
Leave base minds to harbor suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects
Let ours be noble ambition,
Fer base is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error may tall
Then let US speak well of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.

search No sooner was his figure lost to
view in the darkness than Helen leaned
forward and said in low tones to the dri,

What does Mr.. Seelay pay you for

Five dollars, num-
"Pll give you ten if you'll turn about
instantly and take me right back to

What, and lave Misther Saley?"
/" Yes; decide immediately-you We
not secood to lose Go on and get five
dollars or turn back and get ten.''
Faith, the timptation's too great in
tirely," quoth Pat, as he headed his hor-
SEES IN the other direction; g but it's a
mighty quare thrick to play on the
young gintleman, sure"
Halo! What are you doing? Come

cried the youth in question, suddenly and
unpleasaptlV recalled to the prose of life.
A. lond Git dap" accompanied by a
crack of the whip, was the only answer
he received; and as the carriage rolled
rapidly on, his angry shouts grew fainter
and fainter until they died away in the
distance. Helen put up the window
again. and settling herselfon the comfort

little fellow, hope he won't take cold 3"
1t was nearly eleven o'clock when she

RESHARPENINe FILEs-A very inter
esting and economical process has been
exhibited before the Societe d'Encourage-
ment, of Paris, by M. Werdermann.
Well-worn files are first carefully cleaned
by means of hot water and soda; they
are then carefully placed in connection
with the positive pole of battery, in Il
bath composed of forty parts of sulphric
acid, eighty parts of nitric acid, and &
thousand parts of water. The negative
pole is formed of a copper spiral sur
rounding the files, but not touching them !;
the coil terminates in wire which rises
toward the surface This arrangement is
the result Impractical experience. When
the files have been ten minutes in the
bath they are taken out, washed, and dri-
cd, when the whole of the hollows will
be found to have been attacked in very
sensible manner but should the effect
not be sufficient, they are replaced for
the same period as before Two opera
tions are sometimes necessary, but rarely
more. The files thus acted upon are, to
all appearance like new ones, and are
said to be good for sixty hours work NJ
Werdermann employs twelve medium
Bunsen elements for his batteries.

General Sherman to General
Sheridan--Another Appro-
batory Letter,

Gen. Sherman wrote letter yesterday,
acknowledging the receipt OF one from
Gen. Sheridan, wherein the latter defends
his conduct on the Indian question. Gen.
Sherman replies that he indorses Sheri-
dams letter, and says he prefers to believe
Col. Baker relative to the details OF the
attack on the Piegans rather than the
stories tru1pcd up at Benton, 100 miles
from the scene Of the fight. He believes
Baker when the latter says that major
ity Of the Piegans who were kliled were
warriors; that the firing or them ceased
hen the resistance ceased; that quarter
was given to all who asked for it, and
that 100 women and children were allow
ed to go free and join other portions OF
the tribe. He believes this, he says, ra-
Their than the absurd report that only thir-
teen warriors were killed. the rest being
women and children afflicted with the
small pox. Nor did he believe that Col
Baker wantonly and cruelty killed any
OF them Gen Sherman alluded to the
tide Of emigration encroaching on the In
dian reservations, and tells Gen. Sheridan
that the army has divided duty. 1t
must, when called upon protect the
white settlers, and it must also protect
the Indian lands.

The First American Flag.
From the New York Post.


At the last meeting of the Pennsylvania
Historical Society Mr. William j. Candy
read paper on "The First Star Spangled
Banner made in America, and Who Made
It." He discovered, IN tracing the his
tory of this national emblem, that the
fiji st instances when the stars and strips
were unfurled were at the seige of Fort
Schuyler, August 17,I777, and upon an.
occasion just about year prior to that
time. The brig Nancy was chartered by
the Continental Congress to procure mil
itary stores in the West Indies, during
the latter part of 1775, While at Porto
Rico, in July of the ensuing year, the in
formation came that the colonies had
declared their Independence, and with
this information came the description of
the flag that had been accepted as ma
tional banner A young man, CAPTAIN
Thomas Vaudeville, set to work to
make one, and successfully accomplished
it. The flag wss uufurled and saluted
with thirteen guns. When the brig
Nancy was upon her return voyage she
was hemmed in by British vessels off
Cape May. Her officers succeeded in re-
moving all the munitions to the shore,
and when the last boat put off, young
man In it, John Hancock, jumped into
the sea, swan to the vessel, ran up the
mast, and securing the flag, brought it
triumphantly to shore, through hot fire
from the British men-of-war
The first American flag, however, ac-
cording to the design and approval of
Congress, was made by Mrs Elizabeth
Ross Three of her daughters still live
in our vicinity to confirm this fact, found
their belief, not upon what they saw, for
it was many years before they were born,
but upon what their mother has often
told them. A neice of this lady, Mrs.
Margaret Boggs, aged ninety five years
nows lives in Germantown, and is CONVEX
SAINT with the fact. The fact is not gener-
orally known that to Philadelphia not
only belongs the honor Of f1inging the
frtt star-spangled banner to the breeze
but to a Philadelphia lady belongs the
honor Of having made it.
The house in which it was made still
stands-No 239 Arch street (the old mum
bel being eighty-nine)- last OF al
old row 1t is related that when Con
gress had decided upon the design, Colo
mel George Ross and General Washington
visited Mrs Ross and asked her to make
it. She said, 81 dou't know whether |
can, but I'll try" and directly suggested
TO the gentlemen that the design was
wrong, in tDat the stars were six-corner.
ed, not five cornered, az they should be.
This was corrected, she made the flag
Congress accepted it, and for half doz-
eli years this lady furnished rhe COVER
ment with all its national flags, having
of course, large assistance. THIS lazy
was also the wife of Claypole, one of the
lineal descendants Of Oliver Cromwell

PROF. HENRY ON LIGHTNING RoDs.-We
consider most lightning rods on houses as no
protection at all against lightning, and the ma
jority Of lightning rod pedlers that are so plen-
ty in summer as little better than swinders.
We believe the value of lightning rods any
way is greatly exaggerated in the public minds.
But if one is going to the expense of protecting
his house with one, he ought to have as good
a thing as possible, and for the instruction of
the ignorant we give below the directions for
putting up lightning rods that Prof. Henry of
the Smithsonian Institute at Washington, has
lately given to frriend:-
1. The rod should consist of round iron of
about one inch in diameter; its parts, through
out the whole length, should be in perfect me-
talic continuity, by being secured together by
coupling ferules.
2. To secure it from rust the rod should be
coated with black paint, itself a good conduct
8. 1t should terminate in single platinum
point.
A. The shorter and more direct the course
of the rod to the earth the better; bendings
should be rounded and not formed in acute
angles.
5. 1t should be fastened to the building by
iron eyes, and may be insulated from these by
cylinders of glass II don't however consider
the latter of much importance.)
6. The rod should be connected with the
earth in the most perfect manner possible, and
nothing is better for this purpose than to place
it in metallic contact with the gas pipes or bet
ter with the water pipes of the city. The con-
nection may be made by ribbon ofcopper or
iron soldered to the end of the rod at one Of
its extremities and wrapped round the pipe at
the other. II a connection of this kind is i'm
practicable, the rod should be continued hori-
zontally to the nearest well, and then turned
vertically downward until the end enters the
water as deep as its lowest level. The horizon
tai part OF the rod may be buried in a stratum
of pounded charcoal and ashes. The rod
SHE OF the puMaSSr re" ns t, o1 hnS tnS aS
be put up by an ordinary blacksmith. The
rod in question is in accordance with our latest
knowledge of all the facts of electricity. At
tempted Improvements on it are worthless.
and as general thing are proposed by those
who are but slightly acquainted with the sub
/ iapt
