It seems thul/for more thnu four teen years; MffMiMf], bf?rucn-: burg, a man well known to the litor ary and scientific woiicl.ims 11 Hd his attention directed to the production of animal li/e by means of jjalvanism. This was a daring thought; but the Professor, with the zeal and devotion worthy of the old alchemists in whose footsteps he was lollo'wing, perscvetcd against obstacles thnt{would have dis couraged any man less sanguine than himself; and/uf last, has had the sat isfaction of scciug his patient labors crowned with success, that will place his name in the foremost rank ofthat j galaxy of bright',stars who. preceded him in the great field of discovery. The Professor's first /experiment was to hatch chickens from the egg by the employment of artificial brat, after manner of the Egyptians. In this he was entirelyjSuuepsfuVand perfected? a ' sirnrdj; tn?d ^ompaotjup paratus to maintain by means of hot water, an equal temperature for tiny period of time. .?*// This being accomplished, he turned his attention to the production of the egg! This was no easy matter; but j after innumerable experiments, dur ing a period often years, the details of which would fill a volume, he sue cceded in making a correct analysis of tin egg. One step was accomplish ed! but the most difficult was yet to be taken?tbc mysterious combina tion of the elements so as to form a coin pound similar to the natural article. Encouraged: by his success, the Doctor set about bis almost hopeless task with a determination to sur mount ev< ry ob. tni le. Ho felt satis-' I fictl that it Was only by means of ! galvanism that bis object could bo ac l eoinplishod, and directed all his ener gies to the construction or a battery of constant, equal and nibdcratc poWer. Alter trying marly every kind of battery in use, he bad almost begun to despair, when, by accident; he learned that a constant buttery of uiuleratc power had been constructed in England by placing a plate of zinc and a plate of copper iti an ordinary llower pot, and keeping the earth moistened with ammonia. lie immediately constructed such, an one. After varjous modifications he succeeded it to bis purpose, and bad the satisfaction after nearly 'four teen years of almost constant experi ment, of seeing his labors c.owned with success, and producing from ele ments a substance similar in all re spects to ail egg. Now came the exciting period of his labor?, to sec whether this arti ? ft chilly Jormcd egg could be hatched by beat. lie placed it in his hatching oven, and watching it through a glass door almost constantly, scarcely tak ing time to cat or sleep, until he had seen the success of his grand experi ment. Day after day ho watched with pa tient assiduity the consummation of bis hopes. On the twentieth day after placing bis egg in the oven, a small hole was observed in one side of it, ami shortly after the bill of a Kird was thrust through. The Professor was almost wild with delight, several times was on the point of breaking the egg, to see what kind of a bird, ho was going to have. lie restrained hi nisei f, however, and next morning bad the satisfaction of finding in the receiver it live bird, of some unknown species, perfect in its anatomy, but strange to say, entirely without feath ers. '{ i / This most astonishing result, re marks the paper from which we quote, ''lias almost upset our previous notions of i. at mal philosophy and governing laws of animal organism. As wo gazed upon the fcathcrlcss bird hop ping about and feeding upon tho Feeds given it, wc began to doubt the reality of our own existence, or that of anything about us!" The Proiessor, urged on by his suc cess, has set about another analysis, aud has no doubt of being able to produce perfect birds of every known species, The Ally cmcin Zeitung of the next day remarks that the whole city is electrified with the development. [From the Rending Feolc.] How He Was Badly Sold. I happened the other day ou the Lcbigh Valley railroad. The train had just leftEnston and the conduc tor was making his first round, when he observed n small white dog with a bushy tail and bright eyes sitting cosily on the seat beside a young lady so haudsome that it made bis heart roll over like a lop-sided pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he remarked in bis most deprecatory manner : '?I'm very sorry, madam, but it is against the rules to have dogs in the passenger cars." "Oh, my, is that so ?"' and she turn ed up two lovely brown eyes beseech ingly. "What in the world will I do ? I can't throw him away, lie was u Christhins present from niy aunt." "By no means, miss We'll put him in n baggage car, and he'll be just as happy as a robin in Spring." '* What! put my nice white dog in u nasty, study, dusty baggage ear ?" ?'I'm awfully sorry, miss, 1 do as sure yon,, but the rides of the company arc as inflexible us the laws of the Modes and them other fellows, you know, lie shall hive niy overcoat to lio on and the brakesman shall give him grub and water every lime he opens his mouth." "I just think it's awful mean, so I do; and I know somebody will steal it,' so they will," and she showed n half notion to cry that nearly broke the conduct >r's heart, but he was firm and sang out to the brakesman, who ffns playing a sob) on the stove : "Here, Andy, take this dog over to the baggage car, and tell 'ein to take just the best kind of care of h inn" The young lady pouted, but the brakesman reached o? and picked up tliccauiue as tenderly as though it wore a tWo-Wceks-old baby, but as he did so a strange expression came over his face like a wave of cramp colic, and he said hastily to the conductor.: "Here, you just bold him a minute till I put this poker away," and he trotted out of the car door and held on to the brake wheel, shaking like a mau with tbo ague. I The conductor no sooner had bis hands on the d?g than he looked around for a hole to fall through, "Wit?wh?why, this is a worsted dog." "Yes, sir, it is," replied the little miss, demurely. "Did you nut know j that "No, I'm most awful sorry to say I didn't know that;" and be laid the Christmas dog down in the owner's lap) aud walked out on the platform, \shcre he stood a half hour in the cold, trying to think of a hymn .une to suit the worst sold man on the Lchigh Valley road. A Good Remedy von Dull I Times.?It is a remarkable fact that those who advertise the most liberally j grumble the least about dull times every one is looking fur the place where . he can get the most goods for the least money, and he scans the columns of bis local paper for the j desired information. He sees that a certain merchant advertises to sell goods cheap, and perhaps quotes a few pricct'. lie visits his place of busi ncss to ascertain if he performs what be advertises, and makes his purcha ses there. He is satisfied. The mer chant'.makes a good profit oh his goods ?keeps on advertising, and get-j the bulk of trade. Why? Because be gets bis name and business constantly before the people. Judicious adver tising is the greatest panacea for dull times. ? "I lake my tcx dis mornin," said a colored preacher, "from tint portion ob de Scriptures whar de Post I e Paul pints his pistol to the Festous." . .- .>- ? - ? -I I IHI-l - He who shows courtesy reaps friend ship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. I The Lodge. It got so nt last that his wife began to wonder what business "the Lodge'' had on hand that it should meet four or five times per week. He was out for four, nights a week until eleven o'clock, and he came home with red ness in his eyes and his stop was un steady as he passed down the 'hall. He said "the Ledge" bust upas was mighty hard on the muscles, and that candi dates .were coming in by the hund leds. One night he groaned out in his sleep, and talked of "the right how-' er," yejled out "spades!" and the. wife wtSndored still more. The other evening she took a position where she could sec who .went up stairs into the Lodge rooms. " Her' htlsbaud passed by and entered a place where rows of bottles adorn the shclvcH, and coffee and spico stand in saucers on the counter to purify the breath. When she went in he was one of lour dt n table. Lach one of the four were looking at the pictures on sonic cards held in'hia hand. '?>'o .this is the Lodge, is it?" sire inquired, as she stood before him. lie.,was caught, and he resolved to make"a 'clean hi east of it. He laid his cards down, rosD upaud gave her his arm, ami said: "I won't lie to you, Mary. This is not the Lodge rooki; this is where wc stop for a minute to beat the blasted enemies of our craft but of [their sur plus; greenbacks. When I come home to-night, Mary, I'll bring that shawl you spoke of." The regularity with which tlie man now stays at home every evening in the week is astonishing. fret the Plan Out. \ ? Thcjf&tp l\cy. Pr. Wightman, one night sitting later than us al, sunk in he profundities of a groat fo'.io tome, imagined he heard a sound iu the kitchen inconsistent with (lie quietude and security of a mouse, ami so, tak ing his caudle, he proceeded to in vestigate I he cause. His foot beiiig heard in the lobby, the housekeeper began, with all earn cstness, to cover the lire, as if pre paring for bed. "Ye're up late to-night, Mary." "I'm jist rnkin' the fire, sir, and gaun to bed.*' "That's right, Mary; 1 like limeons hours." On his w ay back to the study he passed tbe coal closet, ami, turning the key, took it with him. Next morning, nt an early hour, there was a rap at his bed-room door, and a request for the key, to put a fire on. "Ye're too soon up, Mary; go back to your bed yet. Half an hour later there was another knock, and a similar request, in order to prepare for breakfast "I don't want to breakfast so soon. Mary; go back to your bed." Another half hour, and then anoth er knock, with an entreaty for the key, as if was washing day. This was enough, lie arose and handed out tbe key. saying : "Go and let the man out." Mary's sweetheart bad been impris oned ah night in tho coal closet, as the preacher shrewdly suspected, where, Pyramis and Thisbe-like, they had breathed their love through the key-hole. Blessed the man w ho knows enough to keep his mouth shut. Some people live sixty years without learning tl is art. Indeed, the older they grow the wiiler their mouths open. A man or woman who is a gabbler at forty-five is a dreadful allliction to n house, or church, or community. There are two things this age needs to learn? when to say nothing, and when it says anything to siy it well. "If any man or woman among you seems to be religious, ami hridlctli not his or her tongue, this man or woman's re ligion is vain. '?You're a brilliant and versatile boquct of loveliness," ho said, with a voice that was low and solt; and, in return, she warbled: "Dry up, (Jcorge; you've said enough."
