" Lay hold of the whip I" shouted the captain. " Lay hold, every man of you, and run the villain up!" In obedience to tho ordjr the men ranged themselves along the deck, and every one laid hold of tho rope. Robert Kintock looked first at his father, and then he run his eye along the line of men who were to be his executioners. But not one sympathizing or pitying look could he detect.

It was strewn with scattered fragments from tho wreck, and here and there the mutilated and bruised forms of the brig's crew. Among the wreckers was Robert Kintock, and eagerly did he search among the ghastly corpses, as though there was one he was eager to find. At length he stopped and stooped over one, upon the shoulders of which were two gold epaulets. It was the captain of the brig—the murderer of his father. The boy placed his foot upon the body, and while a strange light beamed from bis eyes, and a shudder passed over his countenance, ho muttered : Produce C& Commission MERCHANTS, Men's BOOTS, Ladies, MISSES AND CHILDREN'S 8IIOES OF TITTSVILLEj CRAWFORD Co., I'a. $1,286,102 86.

If you desire success in any matter pertaining to this life or the coming, you must have a purpose—a determination, that, God helping you, you will achieve success. You may be poor, friendless, unknown,— your clothing scant, your stomach half filled,—your place may be at the foot of the ladder; no matter. Whatever your position may be, do your duty in it, stoutly and perseveringly, with your eye fixed far ahead and upward.

Just as the old man's body slid from the gang-board into the water, a vivid flash of lightning streamed through the heavens, and in another instant the dreadful artillery of nature sent forth a roar so long and loud, that the men actually put their hands to their ears to shut out the deafening sound. Robert Kintock started at the sound, and what caused dread in other bosoms, sent a thrill of satisfaction to his own. fr.1 • -"j Every description of Brass Work, Oil Cups, Water, Gas.

Allow no opportunity of rendering a service to pass without improving it, even if it cost you some labor and self-denial. Be of use to others, even if in a small way; for a time may come when they may be of service to you.

In vain did they try to lay the brig to the wind, but not a sail would for an instant stand the wind, until at length the men managed to get up a fore and main storm-sail, and then the brig stood for a short time bravely up against the heaving sea.

THE PILOT'S REVENGE. PENTER WORK IN GENERAL. It was towards night on the 21st of September, 1764. A small English warbrig, which had been fitted out for the suppression of smugglers, was lazily creeping along over the heavy monotonous swells, just off the coast of Ualway, and on her deck was being enacted a sccno of somewhat more than common interest. The day before, she had captured a small bout luden with contraband articles, together with an old man and a boy who had charge of them. The captain of the brig, whose name was Drucut, had ordered that the old smuggler should be put in irons. To this indignity the old man made a stout resistance, and in the heat of the moment he had so far forgotten himself as to strike the captain a blow which laid him upon the deck. Such an insult to an English officer was past endurance, and in punishment for the offencc the smuggler was condemned to die. " Yes, sir," replied Hubert, " it is Ballymore's Crag." Thankful for the liberal patronage heretofore received, he hopes hy strict attention to business and promptness to merit it in future. ' JAMES R. WEAK. Refer to T. Beaver, Danville; Hon. Z.

" The first is, tnat you let me go in peace; and the next, that you trouble none of the smugglers should they be there." " I promise," said the captain, " and will give you a hundred pounds beside. Now set about your work ; but mark me, if you deceive me, by St. George, I'll shoot you on the moment!" " An old lady in London had given permission for some wires to be placed on her house, where they were supported by a pole. After these had been in position some few weeks, the old lady waited upon the principal telegraph authority, and stated that she had a complaint to make. 'The fact is, sir,' she said, 'them telegrtJJh messages won't allow me to get any sleep of a night; I lays awake, a tossing about, and can't get a wink for the noise. At first, sir, I didn't mind it as much, and things were not as bad as they are now; but lately, sir, there have been a deal more messages. I don't think either, sir, that you are aware of all that's said along them wires ; there's a much that hadn't ought to be ; for I can assure you, sir, that very much that's said there—and I have to lay and listen to—no respectable woman ought to hear. So I've come at last to complain to you, sir, hoping that it may be stopped.' The gentleman to whom this singular complaint was made was, of course, aware that the noise complained of was the wind in the wires; the messages of a doubtful oharacter were the emanations of a fruitful imagination on the part of the old lady. He, however, pacified her by stating that, in future, young women of great respectability were to be substituted at the offices for the young men who formerly worked the lines." V.

At this moment the vessel swept on past an overhanging cliff, and just as a vivid flash of lightning shot through the heavens and revealed the horrors around, a loud shout was heard from the young pilot, and in a moment all eyes were turned toward him.

" Get up, sir, and be careful that you do not get the same treatment," said the captain in a savage tone.
