How SOME Times ARE DoNE.-A queer case
was that of physician of this city who, on GO
ing to the opera with friend, was cautioned at
the ticket Office TO look out for pckpockets. He
clapped his hand to his watch, valuable one,
engraved with his name and the name Of the
society or friend who gave it to him. 1t was
there all right, and be made sure of keeping it
there by keeping his hand on it all through the
performance of the opera. On coming out, what
was his astonishment to find his watch gone
1t had been taken in spite of his watchfuness.
Rejecting that a watch so engraved could not be
disposed of easily, be advertised bis loss in the
next mornings paper, and added that a reward
of 500 would be paid for its recovery, and no
questions asked. Before the bell rang and
a very elegantly dressed man, in appearance
perfect gentleman, inquired for the advertiser of
! the lost watch.
d" Have you got it2' asked the Doctor quietly.
4" i have, cody returned the stranger "here
it is ] claim the reward"
% Here is the money" said the Doctor, " now
! want to ask"
"Oh, but you said there would be no ques-
tons asked" answered the stranger.
True" said the Doctor, but only want
to know bow under Heaven you got my watch,
when kept my hand on it all the time?'
" Are you sure you kept your hand over it all
the time? ?''
Yes, positive"
"Now, let me refresh your memory. Don't
you remember at one very interesting stage of
the performance, there was fly lit upon your
ear, and you raised your hand to brush it off ~
Yes, it's fact,p' said the Doctor, {" do re-
member that"
"Wen," said the elegant stranger, {" that
was the time you lost your watch. ] tickled the
top of your ear with straw, and you brushed
off the supposed fly, but didn't notice when your
hand went back, that your watch was no longer
there. .''-Hargord Paper.

PROMPT TREATMENT,
To Render Existence Desirable.

IF YOU ARE SUFFERING OR HAVE SUI
| fered from involuntary discharges, what
effect does it produce upon your general health?
Do you feel weak, debiltated, easily tired :?
Does little extra exertion produce palpitation
of the heart? Do your liver or urinary organs
or your kidneys frequently get out of order?
Is your urine thick, milky sloppy, or is it
ropy on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to
the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it
has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short
breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels con-
stipated2 Do you have spells of fainting or
rushes of blood to the head? Is your memory
impaired? Is your mind constantly dwelling on
this subject2 Do you feel dull, listless, moping,
tired of company, of life? Do you wish to be
left alone, to get away from everybody? Does
any little thing make you start or jump? Is
your sleep broken or restless? Is the luster of
your eye as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek
as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as
well? Do you pursue your business with the
same energy? Do you feel as much confidence
in yourself? Are your spirits dull and tagging,
given to fits of melancholy? If so, do not lay
it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless
nights? Your back weak. your knees weak, and
with but little Appetite; and you attribute this
to dyspepsia or liver complaint?

Too Pooh TO TAKE PAPER.-One of our ex-
changes says of such pitiably poor people
% The poorest man to be met with, especially in
these stirring times, is the man who is too poor
to take a newspaper. We pity such man, es-
pecially if be is man of property. Who ever
heard of a man too poor to smoke chew to-
bacco, if addicted to either? And yet many who
spend ten or fifteen cents day for the "weed !"
are too poor to take newspaper, in the intel
lectual enjoyment Of which their families might
participate. Really such men are poor, they are
objects of pity"

The Machine which bears the name of Elias
Howe, Jr., has long been regarded as the stand
ard of excellence, and has become celebrated
the world over. The work done by these Ma
chimes is rpassed-sewing the thinest mus
lin or the thickest cloth with equal facility and
requiring no extra adjusting for uneven thick
ness or passing over seams; it turns its own
hem as it sews, sewing seam stronger than the
fabric itself To see it hem, fell, tuck, braid,
cord, quit and gather, it seems more like thing
of life than a machine moved by the will of the
operator. 1t is capable of doing every descrip-
ton of sewing that is required in n family and
also for seamstresses and dressmakers it will be
found invaluable. They seldom, or never give
any trouble in operating, and in n word are the
most satisfactory Sewing Machines in use.
Notwithstanding their great superiority, they
are sold at prices as low as other first-class ma
chimes.
Medallion likeness of Mr. Howe is embedded
in the plates Of every Howe Machine, without
which none are genuine. Every purchaser of n
Sewing Machine, should inquire for Elias Howe,
Jr's Sewing Machine, and if they are not sold in
their vicinity address the General Agency for
Illustrated etc, and do not purchase until you
have thoroughly investigated these renowned
machines
