Finding a Thief,

A poor musician had an ebony flute with silver keys. The flute, however, like many other things, had more beauty than use, for there was defect in one of the upper keys, and so that note had to be skipped.
 The musician had for 0 friend tailor, who, having some taste for music, would often come to the musicians room to sing; and when he came he liked to try his skill on the flute with silver keys. One night when the musician was out the flute was stolen. The tailor seemed sorry, indeed, for his friends loss, and tried to ferret out the thief. They sus- pected an old woman that was round the house, but as there was no proof against her, she was let off, and the real thief, whoever he or she was, escaped detection.
 In few months the tailor went to live in another town. Alter year or so the musician paid him a visit, and he found his friend had for company a beautiful bird, bullfinch, who could whistle several fine tunes very correctly. This. of course, delighted the musician, and he liked to hear it but what was very curious, he soon found that the bullhnch, whenever he came to certain high note, always skipped it and went on the next. He was greatly puzzled to make out how this could be, but as he pondered over the matter it struck him at last that the note which the bird skipped was the very note which had ceased to sound on his own old flute, and so he came to the conclusion in his own mind that the ballfinch must have been taught in some way from his stolen flute.
 He charged the tailor with having stolen the flute, and the miserable man pale and trembling, confessed the theft

Philadelphia in 1774.
$5,103, ,O63.25

Old Philadelphia during the sessions of the Continental Congress, says 8 magazine article, presented probably more picturesque appearance than at any other time of her history. A dense background of forest threw her few busy streets into strong relief the river was crowded with shipping the half drilled troops of the new army passed down High street from time to time, drum and fife stirring the long sobered air the vague electric excitement of impending war was abroad, and gave new meaning to ordinary greetings, to every change and variety of costume, as in shifting panorama. The Episco- palians and modish gentlemen of other churches appeared with toupees pow dered, satin knee-breeches, velvet coats, and lace rufaes :; fine ladies wore hoops, high-tossing feathers, lawn aprons, deep lace frills depending from the elbow, and patches of every shade on the face. A bevy of Quakers, in their drab padua- soy gowns, passed them, perhaps, on their staid way to the yearly meeting to give in their testimony against slavery, indorsing John Woolman or a stray monk from Ephrata, in his white cowl and gown or an Indian, with his load of peltry or some countryman from Bucks county, with tow trowsers and plaited hempen coats and leather aprons
 or gang of idle Barbary slaves, with their gay turbans and stouching walk. It was such scene that presented itself to the Massachusetts and Virginia dele. gates, and gave to the little town, in their unused eyes, the air of a capital city. John Adams writes in his diary of how he went to the Methodist and other dissenting meetings.

CHRoN1o D1sEAsEs CuRED.-In con

CHRONIC DISEASES CURED.-In com munities remote from larger towns there seems to be but two alternatives for the sick either to employ the family physician or to patronize the patent medicine vendors. Those who are driven to this extremity, if suffering with chronic disease we would advise to write to Dr. E. B. FoorE of 12O Lexington avenue, N Y. Dr. F. is the noted author of '' Plain Home Talk Medical Common Sense," Science in Story" and other popular medical works which havo had wide circulation all over the globe. In Dr. F. we have physician who has an extensive experience in treating the sick at a d stance from his office, and, moreover, his consultations are free. Any one of our readers is at liberty to consult him with the mere outlay of postage stamp He Is said to have patients at this moment in Ger many, Great Bri ain, Liberia, Chinese Empire, and the West Indies. If patent medicines can now and then hit successfully when adopted by people who have little knowledge Of their own organizations or of their diseases how much more successfully can & physician, insti- tuting all necessary inquiries, prepare reme- dies precisely suited to the organization and diseases of the invalid ; just as a tailor cuts and fits coat to the back. In this more im- portant matter relating to the heath and life of tho people, there is all the difference which exists between Chatham street clothing and that made by first-class tailor, after taking the most minute measurements. DR. FooTE is a recognized success in his speciality.

The Philosophy of After Marriage.

"You love me no longer" said bride of few months to her better half in his gown and slippers. "Why do you say that, PussG" he asked, quietly, remov- ing cigar from his lips. "You do not caress me nor call me pet names, you no longer seek so anxiously for my com pany,' was the fearful answer. "My dear," continued the aggravating wretch, "did you ever notice man running after car2 How he does run over stones, through mud, regard less of everything till he reaches the car and he seizes hold and swings on. Then he quietly seats himself and reads his paper" "And what does that mean ?" ''An illustration, my dear. The car is as important to the man after he gets in as when he is chasing it, but the mani festation is no longer called for. I would have shot any one who put himself in my way when in pursuit of you, as I would now shoot any one who would come between us but as proof of my love you insist on my running after the car"

Gold Mining in the Black Hills.

Colonel Dodge has published small work on the Black Hills region, describ- ing the physical features of the country, the soil, timber, climate, etc., and giv- ing much information respecting the precious metals supposed to be deposited there. There is gold in the hills, no doubt, but how much is yet question. The author thinks it is no place for poor men. The mining is of such @ nature that it requires capital to carry it on proftably. --c =.
 It has passed into proverb that "placer mining is the poor mans dig gings, while "quartz " mining is only for the rich. Placer mining in the Black Hills will not pay the poor man, unless he be "heathen Chinee." He may make little money by securing a claim, selling it out to man or company who has capital to buy up many clain s, then looking for and securing another claim with the same intention and result. This is poor and precarious foundation on which to base a living. No man can mako more than the barest wages by pan working 8 single claim in the Black Hills. The placer mines, as we'll as the quartz mines, are here only fo9 the rich man, and I would advise no poor man to go into the hills with the expectation of making money by mining himself. Of course, he may be fortunate enough to strike rich diggings and do well; but as general rule he will make more money as day laborer for some wealthy man or company than he possibly can by working for himself on 8 single claim. The reports of the enormous wealth of the placer mines in the Black Hills are the most barefaced fabrications, got up by miners who wish to sell their claims. Money is to be made here by men who have sufficient capital to buy up claims along the creek, sufficient to warrant the expense of dams, ditches, and all work necessary for hydraulic mining. If they have already the means of comfortable livelihood, poor men had better stay at home, unless prepared tc work on wages. All this is said on thesup position that the Black Hills will, sooner or later, be opened to the miner. Under present circumstances, in addition to the disadvantages mentioned, he is liable at any moment to be arrested by tho troops and sent from the hills 0 pris oner.

From the St. Louis Globe.l The Successful Physician.

There is probably no man to whom the com- munity owes so much as to the honest, fair spoken physician, who does his actual duty both to himself and to his patients. Really skilled physicians are not so numerous that their virtues need no mention, and hence the advertisement of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, may we'll claim the readers attention. Dr.. Pierce is type of class of men who obtain success by careful and we'll directed effort, not attempting too much, or creating false ideas as to ability. The only reliable physician in these days of complicated F disorders ana high pres
 understands his one branch of usiness. Such in his line is Dr. Pierce. For the benefit of his readers he has written " Common Sense Medical Adviser" which is we'll worth reading by those who need such work With strict business honor. high professional skill, reason able fees, aud a large corps of competent as- sistants, Dr. Pierce will doubtless make bis name familiar as household words."
