Pleasing Everybody. HINTS TO THE EDITOKS. On? ???d*r cries, joar strains to grave, Too much morality yon have, Too much about religion; Give mo some witch or wizard tales, Of slip-slop ghosts with fin's and scales, And features like a pigeon. I love to read, another cries, Those monstrous fashionable lies In other words, those novels; Composed of Kings, and priests, find lords, Of border wars, and gothic hordes That used to live in hoy?is. The man of dull scholastic lore Would like to see a little more Of flrst-rato scraps of Latin; The grocer faiu would learn the price Of tea and sugar, fruit and rice; The draper silk and satin. Another cries, wo want moro fun, A witty anecdote or pun, A rebus or a riddle; Some wish for parliamentary news; And some, perhaps, of wiser viows, Would rather hear a fiddle. Another cries, I waut to BOO A jnmbled-up variety, A variety in all things A miscellaneous hodge-podge print, Composed (I only give the hint) Of multifarious small things. I want some marriage news, says a Miss, It constitutes my highest bliss, To hear of weddings plenty; For in the time of general rain None suffer from a drouth, 'tis plain, At least not one in twenty. I want to hear of deaths, says one, Of people totally undone By losses, fire or fever; Another answers, full as wise, I'd rather have tho fall and rise Of raccoon skins and beaver. Some signify a secret wish For now and then a favorite dish Of politics to suit them; But here we rest at perfect peace, Por should they swear the moon was cheese We never should confute them. X)r grave or humorous, wild or tamo, Lofty or low, 'tis all the same; Too haughty or too humble; So, brother editors pursue The path that seems tho best to you, And let the grumblers, grumblo. -o THE E?CGK.AF1?Y OF A SHILLING. BV S. B. " 'What is your name?' "The boy gazed steadily into, the eyes of the man, but said nothing. " 'Did yon hear me?' impatientlv. " 'Yes/ " 'Answer, then! What is your name?' "He went close to the officer. 'My name is William Orville. I came hore to kill you. She sout me.' " 'Hal' the soldier staggered back; for notwithstanding that vague fear in his soul, that answer, so like her, sent a shiver through him, and caused his cheek to pale even under its coloring of tropic suns. " T must send him away; what would the Donna Estrella say?' he muttered, under his breath; for he was soon to espouse the high born Spanish beauty, Donna Estrella D'Alzo. " 'Stay here!' he commanded, and turned to leave the room. Quick as thought, the little figure sprang forward; something bright flashed iu the raysof the setting sun, and cutting through flesh and bono, barely touched the false heart of General William Orville. . "Prine waited long for his master's dress? ing bell, but waited in vain. Auxiety at last was changed to alarm, and the door, which was found.locked, was broken open then all could see why the commander had neither answered nor come forth. He laj partly on his face, his white linen garment* stained with tho crimson flood that spread widely over the matted floor. " 'Who has done this?' was heard or. every side, and many eyes flashed darkly a; the question was asked, for tho soldiers loved their gallant commander. It was nc .suicide, for death had como from a daggei wound in the back. Prine received mau) scowling glances until ho bethought him tc tell of the little beggar boy he had left it his master's apartment. There was searching in hot basto, but thu only clue ever obtained, was the testimony of a carrier, who had seen a shadowy little figure flit by bim ir the dusk of the evening; and horememberec the feeling of compassion that had stoler over him ns he saw the blood that coverec the face and bands of the wretched fugitive for he doubted not that he was tho victim o: ill treatment. "In the rnoanwhile, William had found t hiding place in the hole of a vessel, tba weighed anchor and stood out to sea at 1< o'clock P. M. He kept concealed unti hunger drove him forth, and though th< Captain was annoyed, ho could feel onlj pity for the forlorn-looking creature wh had such a white, scared expression on hi little thin face. He was very reticent, nm neither persuasion nor threats could indue him to speak of himself. "On the third day out, a vessel hove ii sight, and on boing hailed, reported tha she had touched at Gibraltar. William' face grew ghastly and his kuees shook untie him; with trembling hand he took me fror his pocket, and laid me in the Captain' palm. " 'Take it, it is nil I have; you have bec kind to me. God bless you for't.' " 'What is the matter, my lad?' and th kind Captain turned his puzzled face fror me to the boy. '. 'They are coming for me, bot I will nc go with them; I will die here,'the white lip stammered. And lief ore any one compre bended his design, he darted ovrr the ve? I s-l's side, ?uni was lout in tho blue depths of the silent sea. Although efforts were made i to rescue him. bo WUK never seen again; ' some shnrk had, perhaps, talton bim down to furnish a bloody feast in it? balls of pil? lared coral. "When Cuptniu Blukeney arrived at home, and diKpl.iy?A ?he treasure? he had brought for the dear ones there, ho plaoed me in little blue-eyed Mary's baud. " 'There, my dear, isa bright new piece for you.' "Then he told tho tale of tho little beg? gar boy, whom all believed to have boen in? sane, and it was with n touch and look of awe that Mary carried and laid me away, tears standing in ber blue oyes nil the while. "Mouths after. Captain Blukeney casually taking up a newspaper, read un account of the assassination ot General Orville, with a description of the supposed murderer; then he understood all. CHAPTER II. " 'Mother!' tho cherry young voice had something of the breeziness of tho hills and fields in it. 'I say, mother, what's in this old chest? Let's give it a regular turn-out?' Up went tbs lid of tho old chest in which I had lain for so many years, and an eager, boyish fuco bent over nie, while a pair of sun-burned hands turned everything up side down, iu a very lawless way. " 'Oh, look, motherl bereis some money;' taking me up, and holding m J towards a fair, matronly woman, who came forward at his exclamation. I had not seen that face for five-and-twonty years, but I knew it in stautly as that of little Mary; who never had touched mo after hearing of tho wickedness of my former possessor. '" Don't, Jack," she pleaded; 'that be? longed to a desperato little boy who Hinder? ed au officer iu the British army,'the tono saying that crime could never go beyoud that. . " 'But, mother, tho shilling didn't mur? der au officer if the boy did. Give it to me; I'll take it where the wiud will blow the bad odor off of it.' " 'I do not suppose you will kep it long enough to injure you greatly, my son,' the mother said, gravely; "spend it iu deeds of charity, that the curse that clings to it may be couccaled.' " 'Don't trouble yourself about it, mother, I only wish that I had enough of them, I'd risk them, ghosts and all;" and the lad weut out, making the meadows resound with his shrill whistling. "Not far had Jack gone into the woods beyond the field, when he espied n bird's nest of raro workmanship. Off went cap, jacket aud shoes, and np went Jack into thc tree, never noticing at the time, that I rolled far out of his pocket into the grass. The nest was secured, and the boy, flushed and panting, stood on tho ground gathering up his belongings. " 'My shilling! oh, ^uere is my shilling?' he asked, putting bis hand iuto his empty pocket, and searching tho ground with careful eyes. 'Can it bo as mother says, that some evil goes with it? No, it can't be that; it is because I robbed the bird of bei nest, that this bad luck has happened tc me.' With a very conscious face, he slowly remounted tho tree, and set the nest in ?tc old place again. After another fruitless search, he took a very sober face homo tc tell his mother of his loss. "I had not kin there long when a flock of goats carno browsing by, and ono mis chievous littlo kid, with ono bite, took th? green roof from over my head. I gazed uj into the blue sky and green trees, and fel so terribly lonely, that I began to wish my self back in Jack's pocket. Just then, i gentle rustling caused me to look around to meet tho brown eyes of a fair yonnf maiden, that came slowly along tho wood laud path. I shone my brightest, and th? gentle eyes were caught by my sparkle With a little, glad cry she picked me up. "'A happy omen! Oh, I know it is i happy omen.' "Sho was still looking at me, when i heavier step was heard, an arm was stolei softly around thc slender waist, and ai honest, handsome face looked over he shoulder. " 'What is it, Alice, a shilling? What ar you going to do with it?' os hand and sb.il ling were both imprisoned iu a palm broai and strong. " 'I found it;" with a pleased smile, 'am I intend that we shall divido it and wear i until father consents to our anion.'

AYER* S CHERRY PECTORAL" Fur Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Collis, Whooping Cough, Bron? chitis, Asthma and Consumption. PROBABLY never before in tho whola history of medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long series of years, and among most of tho racesof men, it has risen higher and higher In their estimation, as it has become better known. RH uniform character and powor to euro tho vari? ous affections of the lungs and throat, havo made it known as a reliable protector against thom. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same time the most effectual remedy that can bo given for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of tho throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks of CROUP, it should bo kept on hand in every family; and, indeed, as all aro sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all should be provided with thia antidoto for thom. Although Bettlcd CONSUMPTION is thought incurable, still great numbera of cases where tho disease seemed settled havo been completely cured, and tho patient restored to sound health by tho CHERRY PECTORAL. So complete is its maetery over tho disorders of tho lungs and throat, that the most obstinato of thom yiold to it. When nothing clso could reach them, under tho CHERRY PECTORAL they subsidoand disappear. SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS find great protection from it . ASTHMA is always relieved and often wholly cured by it. BRONCHITIS is generallv cured bv taking tho CHERRY PECTORAL in small and frequent doses. ?o generally aro its virtues known that wo neod not publish tho certifies tos of them here, or do moro than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained.
