CoNsUMPT1vEs, TAKE NOTICE. Every mo-
ment OF DELAY makes your cure more hopeless,
remedy. The amount of testimony in favor OF
OF DR.. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, as a cure
for consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensions of any
other medicine. See Dr. Schenck's Al
manac, containing the certificates of many per-
sons OF the highest responsibility, who lave
been restored to health, after being pronounce
ed incurable 10y physicians of acknowledged
ability. Scbenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show i;
tut the cure is often promoted by the employ
ment of two other remedies which DR.. Schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional
remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these
medicines, according to directions, DR.. Schenck
eertities that most any case of consumption
may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his princi-
pal Office, corner Sixth and Arch streets. Phil

SLLENCING SKEPTICLSOI.

1t is said of Robert Hall. that when
some amateur skeptic asked him about
the future of man, he roughly answered,
~ don't know whether you have soul but
I know I have.' That was answering a
fool according to his own folly, and no
doubt tended to make him less wise in
his own conceit. But wherewith shall
we best reprove and silence the skeptic
of this generation? There is one argu-
ment which speaks in all languages, is
known and read by all men, and is quite
unanswerable-a godly life. So to live
that he that is of the contrary part may
be ashamed, having no evil thing to say
of US.

ceeded In adapting it to his purpose and
had the satisfaction, after. nearly, four.
teen years Of almost constant experiment,
Of seeing bis flabsrs crowned with success,
and producing from elements ., substance
similar in all respects to an egg.
Now came the exciting period Of his
labors. to see whether this artificially-
formed egg could be hatchcd by heat.
He placed it in his hatching.oven, and
watched it through a glass door almost
constantly. scarcely taking time to eat or
sleep, until he had seen the sccess of his
grand experiment.
Day after day he watched with patient
assiduity the consumation of his darling
scheme, and at last had the satisfaction
OF witnessing the consumation of his
hopes. On the twentieth day after
placing his egg in the oven, small hole
was observed in one side of it, and short.
ly after the bill of bird was thrust
through. The professor was nearly wild
with delight, and severel times was on
the point Of breaking the egg, to see what
kind Of bird he was going to have. He
restrained himself, however, and next
morning had the satisfaction OF finding
in the receiver live bird of some un.
known species. perfect in his anatomy,
out, strange to say, entirely without
feathers!
''rhis most astonishing result" remarks
the paper from which we quote, has
almost upset our previous notions of nat
ural philosophy and the governing laws

the featherless bird hopping about and
feeding upon the seeds given it, we began
to doubt the reality of our own existence
or that of anything about us -
The professor urged on by his success
has set about another analysis, and has
no doubt of being able to produce perfect
birds Of every known species.

day remarks that the whole city is cleo.

recognize him again. Powell. too, would
be put on his guard, and perhaps both

The detective, therefore, resolved on a
bold scheme.
The same afternoon it was announced in
all the evening newspapers that the men
who had murdered Mr.. Askern had been
arrested and were in Jail. The next
morning the report was confirmed, and
tho evidence fixing the crime on them
was said to be most condemning. The
evening after the announcement Powell
did not leave home, but the next evening
he went out about eight o'clock. He pro.
ceeded straight to the City Road and en-.

work. The detective had to walk far into
the roadway before he could see into the
door. The cobbler sat with his back to
