MANITFACTWIUM BY
CHAMBERLIN & Co.,
Progrietors of Shawinut Chemical Works.
No. 33 INDIA STRUT, Boston.
CONCENTRATED LEAVEN is the re
sus of careful chemical research. All Its ingredi
oots are prepared In the highest state of purity, and com
pounded with a view to produce bread_of a far better
quality, and in mach less time r than by any other pro.
coo ; and by the manufacturers submit it, with entire
confidence, to the judgment of discriminating house.
keepersobakers, &c.
Bread of oil kitiss made by usingeoncentrated ;Alarm
Is lighter, more digestible and nultritious; has an agrees.
his natural taste; is less liable to tour ; will retain its
moisture longer than by say other process, and the
whole preparation for the oven need not exceed ten
minutes.
It is valuable because it is not perishable, and may be
rendered available in places and as times when yeast is
not within reach, as at sea. In all climates and under
all circtimstances, it may be adopted, thus obviating all
difficulty of precuring yeast or other ferme t, wide& is
frequently of an inferior quality, rei dering the bread
more or less unwholesome.
It Is also valuable as regards economy, as It has been
ascertained that a saving is effetted In the flour of not
less than It percent. In the common procoese much of
e saccharine of the flour Is lost by being converted
Into carlbonto gold gas, or spirit., and the waste is in
curred solely for the purpose of generating gas to raise_
tho dough. By using Concentrated Leaven this waste is
avoided, and the gas obtained in a manner equally effi
cacious. Fermentation, as has been stated, destroys a
part of the flour or meat, mad, to consequence, a barrel of
flour weighing 1961b5, which, by.the common method,
ordinarily makes about 260 his of bread. gives by this
process 290 IDs , thus effecting the very important saving
of 16 per cent. in the quantity of flour. By conformity to
the directions on each package, any person capable of
ordinary attention may conduct the process, and the re
sult will invariably be highly satisfactory.
CERTIFICATE FROM DR. HAYES,
Assayer to the State of Magrachusetts.
"I have analysed the Concentrated Leaven, manufac

it fit for making bread. This article is skillfully coin.

dough without consuming the sugar or any other pried.
pie in the flour, perfectly; and the same weigbt et flour
will produce more sweet, palatable bread than can be
obtained through yeast; while for cakes and pastry it Is
invaluable, as it eaves all risk, and much time of the
pastry cook.
"The experiments made by me confirm the statements
made by the manufacturers, and proves this compound
worthy of public approval and extended use.

THE MST OF TEM TOMTIT
Near the close -of a cold day in October, a
traveler dismounted from his jaded horse, and
entered a little hostelry, or tavern, sit uated in
the then wildest region of Penpsylvania. The
stranger, who was a large, stotit-looknig man,
heavily bearded, paused before the door that
led into the bar-room, aid peeped inquisitively
in ; seeing a small group sitting around the
table, he walked very leisurely toward them,
introducing himself in a frank, easy style.
"A good evening, gentleman, to you all."
The company, who were earnestly engaged
in conversing, hardly noticed his entrance, but
when he spoke, they instantly paused and gree
ted the new-corner with a look plainly express
ive of surprise, curiosity and anger. One of
the party, who had a less sinister and surly
face than the rest, gravely advanced toward
him, eyeing him sharply, as he said:
"You wish lodgings, my man?"
" Certainly I do, Mr. Beg (who at the men
tion of his own name visibly started); what else
should I stop here for? There's my pony wants
the same thing; attend to him first, and in the
meanwhile I will make myself at home."
So saying, the stranger, scarcely heeding the
general scowl which greeted him as be said
this, cooly llt bis cigar, and forthwith stretched
himself in an easy posture in Tim Beg's favor
ite arm-chair, much to the astonishment of
that gentleman, who slowly moved toward the
door, winking slighly to his companions as he
did so.
The stranger commenced to smoke, eying the
company with a monchalance and familiarity
that took them completely by surprise.
" Vot yer doing here for ?" growled a dark
visaged, ugly-looking scoundrel, whose pox
marked face was half obscured by a dirty cap.
He rose as he spoke, and drew out a sharp
knife.
" Oh, he !" laughed the stranger, sending up
a long spiral column of smoke, and regarding
the other with a half sneer. "Don't attempt
to frighten me; aint your name Dick Hatton?"
Scarcely bad he asked the question, before
the whole partysprang instantaneously to their
feet, and confronted him witlrthe rage of tigers
—and a-more precious crew of cut-throats could
hardly have been found.
" Kill him ! kill him 1" was the general, cry.
Pistols and bowie-knives were promiscuously
drawn, and one could see they longed to lap the
blood of the unfortunate man, as they crowded
round their victlin. Dick Hatton, with an' ugly
grin, interposed: .
" Sto, bo the W is s • • •
oatachi p s y rcrs.l44 tot w
d• soata e
rsof
-
Come, now, who are ye?"
During all the 'tumult occasioned by his re
mark, the stranger had kept his easy, half
recurn-bentfposition, regaidiess of the meanac-
Mg group, continuing tosmoke with: the meat
astonishing coolness, and eying them all with
a.sort of saucy smite that was absolutely pro
voking.
Come, now, who are ye?" repeated Dick
Hatton, ; . tightening his grasp on his bowie
knife.
The ruffians pressed nearer, a dozen knives
were ref sed,'but still the stranger manifested
not the slightest symptom of alarm. Careless
ly divesting himself, of his beard., be proceeded
in the same quiet way to displace a black cur
ling Wig. In one secotid More, the gang had
burst into a wild halloO, which sent Tim 'Beg
rushing back.
"Blow my eyes I" exclaimed he, letting his
pipe fall from his mouth, in his amrzement.—
"Why, it's the Tomtit!" '
"Nobody else," replied that individual, who
bad not changed - his position, but was puffing
vigorously at his cigar., • ''.You'r bright people
all of you, 'pon my word; now Beg, see if you
can trot back to the stable, and put my horse'
in better :quarters than you at first intended;
'and hearken, lad, tell that spoony of a wife of
yours to fix up something hot; I'm blasted
. hungry. Now then, what are you all gaping
at me for?" added the Tomtit, surveying the
group with a derisive smile. "Didn't,know
me, when I've cheated you so often? Nice fel-

The gang indeed looked very foolish,. at the
unexpected denouement; their weapons were
once more returned to their biding places, and
they stood staring attheir chief, scarcely be
lieving their own eyes.
"Ther'devil 'imself would find it 'ard to tell
ye,"? observed Dick, sulkily. ""Vy, Beg,. as
knows everybody, with von'tlye, gets taken in;
but,.Tomtit, vot's the news?"
"Never you trouble your head for that, it
will: come in good time," - replied the Tomtit,
draining a glass of ale,.officiously placed before
him. "Everything just as .1( suepected; the po

Withthis brief sYn - opsiii 'Of newt; the

Irkabout.tatten-minutesr Mrs:- Beg, a-portly,
red-haired lady, announced that supper was
ready, and the gang adjourned to a small apart:
Went in the rear part of the building, where.a
rude meal was served up; artast pig forming
the_principle feature of the entertainment,
•
which was quicklyr washed down with a liberal
supply of whiskey.
"Now, then," said the Tomtit,. after , he had
satisfied his hunger and was stinng the com
ponents of a second glassful of punch; "now,
then, boys, r m ready to tell the news. In the
first place, Crib has been cribbed." -
"What !" ejaculated the gang with one voice,
"Crib nabbed?"
" Crib is cribbed, and that's the short and
long of it," observed - the - Tomtit, gloomily.—
"Once was the time the trade could be: carried.
on, and none of us ran the least bit of a risk;
even a 'Nest' wasn't necessary; now the thing
gets evely day more dangetous, and the prOfits
.grow smaller."
"But what about Crib?" inquired several of
the gang,. anxiously
"Crib," continued the Tomtit, "acted-like a
iprecious fool; I told him all the boys had left

"He von't peach I 'ope," observed Dick Hat
ton. "It vould be a werry bad blow•np arter
all the trotible of 'ante keeping, not saying
nothing about 'flying no private conweniences,
and a place for to 'ide when ther vied blows
slat going to peach," ma Mr. Beg, au
thoritatively, 'not he, I know him to be a, bully
man." .
"So do I, se do I," exclaimed several voices
at once.
"As to the matter of that," remarked Tomtit,
"he'lkkeep
_things dark, and marbe set.them
on the wrong scent—let him alone for that.—
But blast me," i.ontinued lb . () gentleman, "that
isn't t h e thing; we cant spare, Crib • why the
*hole twelve of us are wanted for nextaraSei
job, and Cribwail sands locksmith' tliat his ser
vices were nexttosold, but it is -just our con
founded back."
The Tori4it, with this brief reference to the
valoablelnalifioations of 'Mr. Crib, proceeded
to mix a thirdilass of whisky pfmch, and to
swallow the same with a look- of becoming
sorrow and resignation. ,
"As he's gone," continued the Tomtit mu
singly, "I suppose it's. best to try a different
plan, I tell you what boys, I have a great mind
to postpone the visit to old Van Cleeker's for a
fortnight at least, till I can get one of us in
some way connected with the house; I heard the
other day that the old gentleman wanted a
coachman, and if I had somebody to personate
one, why it would be a very rum thing to get
him' in there, and then, don't you see, there
would be no need of a locksmith."
• *Vy don't you go, Tomtit, yer vould make a
rum oatchee, yer vould ?" suggested Dick with
a grin.
"Why, as to that, I auppose I might suit the
old gentleman to a hair,". returned the Tomtit
complacently ; "but . I have something more
important to manage ; no, I'll tell you what
boys,l've a good mind to send one of you."
"Good," said several voices.
"I know," continued the Tomtit, "all about
the house, as fir as that goes, for I have visited
every 'nook and corner myself, but still it would
be very convenient to have somebody to let us
in; Crib could have opened the back door easily,
but seeing he's caged, we'll haVe to give up
getting in that way."
"Hist!" suddenly exclaimed Mr. Beg, des
scribing with his flagir a rapid. movement in
the direction of ,the window. The .burglars
started and pricked up their ears as they dis
tinctly heard the. sound of ap approaching ve
hicle.; it , was just wheeling up, before the tav
ern and -Mt Beg, who had been sent to re
connoitre, iiitickly retnrnd to report .to the
anxious gang that , it was only a traveler who
had - lost his way and wished t 6 stay aver night.
"Has:a jblly looking ',nu and has a big carpet
bag," whispered , Mx Beg.
This intelligence caused alnon:ientary excite
ment ; the burglars started up ; their fierce eyes
sparkling with eager delight,' but meeting the
gaze of their chief they Stillenly 'resdra'ed their
setae: 4
"Is it a worry comfortable looking bag.?",en
quiied Dick, rubbibg his hands in. expectation
of plunder. . < .
Very, pronshing looking I ,should say," re
plied Mr. Beg, "but what shall I do with the
owner 1"
Four tallow candles. werp,new..brought into
the room, and the burglars held.a hurried con-,

visitor ; somp,were for, dispatching Alba at puce

ly to. arise, Mr. Beg' was commissioned to see
to the personal comfort of the gentleman, pro

apartment, which last direction causes Mr.
Beg to grin from ear to ear.
"Miod,"l3aid-Dick, No 'irn in the room

Mr. Beg laughed approvingly, at Mr. Hat
ton's humorous allusion . to the trap-door, and
left his friends to , ,continue their consultation.
"My advice,"

That gentleman sat quietly listening to the

than an occasiotud nod 'of his head. was evi
dent that the burglars were unanimously in fa
vor of instantly destroying the traveler ; though
they essentially varied , n , theirproposed plans

Mr. Dick Hatton watched his leader's coun

but it looked stolidly indifferent. . •
' Vot's yet opinion, Tomtit f" he inquired
anxiously. "flint yer going to say nothing r'

fixing his restless eye on thegroup, "yon all

" "nags no," exclaimed the burglars.

It would be impossible to describe the• effect

"Veil, s' pose we run the horse and roakon up
;
the country, and hitch his clothes by the side
ttv the river, vich viii look as though he clr
cumwented himself?" suggested Mr. Molecat.
The Tomtit shook his head contemptiumly..
"Now, then, what would you get for the
painstaking and risk? Why just a carpet-bag,
and maybe a few trifles; people aint such foole
as you take them, to go lugging money round
the country—there would be plenty Of questions
asked about the, carpet-beg, and likely enough
the horse might take it into his head to come
back—hortes aint fools either," .Obiserved the
Tomtit sarcastically.
Mr. Molecat scratched his head, ai an expres
sive indication that the argument was unan
awerable, and a short pause ensued.
"Veil," remarked Dick Hatton, breaking the
silence, "tiler Tomtit's right, I s'pose, but it
does look sorter hard arter the bird's cotched,
to perwent the picking of 'im. It's mean that's
vot it ist"
The Tomtit vouchsafed no reply. to thia sul
len speech, but lighting a fresh cigar, he rose,
shook himself, and called Mr. Beg into an ad
joining apartment.
"Where is the man?" said be.
"In the back room, eating his supper," was
that worthy's reply; "you can peep at him easy
enough, for I left the door on the swing."
The Tomtit accordingly crept stealthily into
the passage, and getting on his handsand knees,
obtained a very excellent o view of the stranger,
who was quietly proceeding with his Meat:—
Scarcely, however, had the Tomtit's restless
eye peered within, than he gave a start of sur
prise, and retreated immediately.
"Here, Beg," he whispered, in an excited
tone, as that individual followed him back
again to the private room; "here's a counfound
ed go. Who do you suppose that man is ?"
Mr. Beg, of course intimated that he didn't
know, whereupon the Tomtit, looking around
to satisfy himself they were alone, brought his
hand in the form of a trumpet cleat) to Mr.
Beg's ear, and whispered :
"E s i k. ffy i p,

Mr. Beg's face turned deathly pale.
" What," he whispered, " the Detective?"
",The same," rejoined the Tomtit, with an
expression plainly denoting his agitation,—
"Who or what should bring him here Money I
neither know nor can guess—Beg, • keep this
from the boys, they are savage enough now,
but if they should find out the truth I couldn't
control 'em. They would tear. this to
pieces, but, Beg, that mustn't be; they must be
led off; for it would be the woret Ming fist to
kill g. ,bim; he would be missed as sure espreach

"Is this the one who has been trying so long
to find our Nest ?" inquired Beg. • , 7

escape me ; he may disguise himself .as. mufti.

"He's disguised, then?" said Mr. 'Beg;
amazed afresh.
"Of course be is ; that fatness isn't real. He
thinks.he's unknown to me, but I'll Day him
off yet," rejoiced the Tomtit, with a silent im
precation. "I'll get rid of him, but it mustn't
be done here. Now then, Beg, listen : Vetch

Beg nodded his head, and flew off with &bre
rity. No one entertained a. greater admiration
of the Tomtit than that gentleman'; tie regard=

show to his master, and was contented as long„
Us he" could testify his servile affection - ; . ' he
quickly returned with the lantern and liey, and.
to his great surprise found the burglar chief
absorbed in the contemplation of niinittute
of a young girl, seemingly :some seventeen
years of age, and of surprising loveliness,
,and
heard him'mutter, "Ile certainly has '';qood Cause
to hate us, but I would have *pared nix .had,

Beg's presence, the. Tomtit hastily thrust: the
picture In his bosom. ,
"Let me out by the backdoor, Beg."
'Albright," was the quiet response.
"Not a word to the boys, mind; if they miss
me, tell 'em I've . gone 'to bed:"

his exit from the door, which Mr. Beg, held
open, and walked rapidly off.
