THE BANNER !
TUESDAY MORNING, SEI'T. m.
Mkxh.ii.—Keccut *dx ices from Mexico 1< ml In
apprehensions tlmt the unquiet aud unsettled siate
o! alVairs may result in open attempts ate revolu
tion in the government, and an effort l*y the parti
sans of General .Santa Anna to recall him from
exile anti place him at the head of the government, j
Tins is lo tie regretted deeply by every republican, j
General Arista, the present President, is a sound, j
judicious, and hottest statesman, and a patriot, and
far in advance of most of his country!Acn. He is t
lover of peace, and knows that the renovation ol
his country, and her prosperity, depend on being ai
peace with all nations, and ilia cultivation, by »n
dustry, of her rich resources, Rnd the extrication
ol the national treasury from debt, and the ex one
ration of tin' people from taxation. It is reported
that Santa Anna may probably return to Mexico in
the uext month, when there will be a prinunr-i I
ini'nlu in his favor. The United States should have'
a minister there at this crisis, and one of abilities,
tact, and firmness. As Mr. Letcher is sick some- '
body else should be sent, ft gentleman entirely dis
connected, personally, with any of the speculative
schemes in fhiscountry respecting Mexican matters,
and who will continue to be so, and who will watch
the llrilish, Spanish, and Trench emissaries there
closely. We do not bedieve Santa Anna can ever
regain his lost power, if he attempts it.’ The at
tempt wid, however, convulse the republic from
the Kio Grande and Glia to its m<>sl southern boun
dary, and confusion a1id anarchy will ensue. Tile
claims of Mexico on the United Stales, for Indian
depredations in Chihuahua and Sonora, it is said,
amount to sixteen millions of dollars. Whatever
party in Mexico gets these claims paid—if they arc
paid—the money will enable it lo hold the reins of
government.—iV. V. Hrrutd.
Anecdotes of the Hquirrcl Family.
Accounts are given of the ingenuity of the squir
tots in Lapland, which we should find it difli nit
to believe, were they not. credited by such men
as Liuieus, on whose authority 1 give them to my
readers. It seems that the squirrels in that country
are in the habit of emigrating, in large parties, and
that they sometimes travel hundred of miles in this
way. w iicn mey raeei wr.n oroau rapnt lanes in
their journeys, they take a very extraordinary
method of crossing them. They approach the
banks, and perceiving the distance between them
and the opposite shore, they return, as if by com,
mon consent, into the neighboring? fores’, each in j
search of a piece of bark, or light wood, which ]
answers in the room of a beat, to ferry them over. !
When the whole company are provided in this ;
manner, they boldly commit their fleet to the waves, j
each sqnirre! sitting on his own little boat, and
fanning the air with his tail, in order to drive him j
self across- In this orderly manner they set out,
and often cross lakes several miles broad in this !
way. It occasionally) happens, however, as you j
may suppose, that the poor manners are not aware i
of al! the dangers of the voyage; for though at the |
edge of the water it is generally calm, in the mid- !
die it is always more rough. Sometimes the poor
squirrels encounter such a gale before they got j
across the lake, that nearly all their vessels are cap- |
sized, and they are shipwrecked. “It is an ill wmd
which blows no one any good," however; anti the
shipwreck, so disastrous to the family, isa matter
of great rejoicing on the part of the Laplander on
shore. He gathers up the dead bodies, as they
are thrown on shore by the waves, eats the flesh,
and sells the skins.
I read an interesting story, a little while ago, in
the “Gentleman’s Magazine,” an English publi
cation, about a squirrel who was charmed by a
rattle-snake. The substance of the story was i
something like this: A gentleman was traveling
by the side of a creek, where he saw a squirrel
running backward and forward between the creek
and a large tree a few rods distant. The squirrel’s
hair looked very rough, allowing that he was very
much terrified about something. His eircuit became'
shorter and shorter; and the man stopped to see
what could be the cause of this strange state of
things. He soon discovered the head and neck of
a rattle snake pointing directly at the squirrel
through a hole of the tree, which was hollow.—
The squirrel at length gave over running, and laid
himself down quietly, with his head ciose to the
snake'!. The snake opened his mouth wide, aud
took in the squirrel’s head; upon which the man
gave the snake a blow serosa the neck with Ins
whip, by which the squiirel was released. You
will see by this story, which comes to us on the
best authority, that some snakes possess the power
of charming, whatever certain people may say or
think to the contrary. This is only one among a
multitude of facts which I could relate, in proof
of the existence of such power amuug many of the
serpent race.
A squirrel sitting on a hickory tree, was once
observed to weigh the nuts he got in each paw, to
find out which weicguod and which were bad.—
The light ones he invariably threw away, retaining
only those which were hoarier. It was found, on
examining those he had thrown away, that he had
not made a mistake in a single instance. They
were all bad nuts.— Woo Iworth'a Stonea about

Purler's ttell-Lomdiug Pistol.
Mr. Porter, of Memphis has invented a fire-arm,
ofwhich the Enquirer speaks as follows:
“ It is in reality a aalf-loading gun, in which the
simple operation of “cocking” to shoot, by the as
sistunccof valves or equivalents separates fromtbe
magazine attached to the gun the materials for each
load—loads the gun in short. This is done with
rtlUCheertainty, because th* effect results not so
iuui;u iiuui uiauuiiriT at mmi iu> miiiu U'lWs auu
the weight of the materials composing the load,
which in the maga/mc is confine,! to a trial post
tion—the descent of the advanced charge being
assisted by the weight of all in tip; rear. The
ammunition is contained in a water tight magazine,
ami all that the shooter has to do is to cock it and
pull the trigger. His own agitation or the jostling
of hut neighbor, cannot in anywise interfere with
it. It loads itself, quickly, effectually and urn
formly, with the proper charge. Darkness nor1
rain can interfere with the operation of loading;
place the gun in a horizonl.l position and “cock'’
u, and the woik of loading is performed.
With reaped to its rapidity of discharge, we un
derstand the inventor to say, that if it docs not
admit of a rate of .discharge as frequent as forty
sho's to thu minute, or should it fail to.discharge
with double rapidity of any other gun not conflict
tng with hit claims long since made public, that
he will foifeit to the travel ament the right of its
use in public service.
After a careful examination of this gun, we are
led to the conclusion that nothing which can boat
comparison with it in efficiency has been discov
c»d. Certainly we have seen no “revolver” of
any kind which approaches it in deatrnftmme**,
ig m which the means of safely have been no well
adopted to guard against accidents in their use.”
Thk ffiffc—If you wish to be happy and have
peace in the family, tievet reprove your husband
in oompewy—even if that reproof be over so light.
If he bo tnilaled, apeak no angry worst. Indiffer
ence sometimes will produce unhappy conse
quences. Always feel an interest in what yotir
husband undertakes, and if he is perplexed or dis
couraged, assist hun by your smiles and happy
words, ir the wife is csreful how slie conducts,

is nothing but clouds of gloom, sorrow and disoon

T H B PILOT’S REfBJISB.
A Thrilling Narrative*
•v sii.vams out. jn.
It was towards night on the «l*t of Septeoilier,
ISM, a small English war brig, which had been
fitted out for the ittppreasion of smuggling, was
lazily creeping along over the mmotonous swells
just oif the coast of Galway, and on her deck was
being enacted a scene of somewha moie than com
mon i rite real The day before she bad captured a
aniali iiom laden with contraband articles, together
with an old man and a boy, who had charge of
them; the captain of the brig, whose name vu
Jtracutt bad ordered that the old smuggler should
be pul in irons. To this indignity the old man
mnU « smut resistance—and m the heat of the
moment he had so far forgotten himself as to strike
the captain a bltw which laid him upon the deck.
Such an insult to an English officer was past en
durance. and, in punishment for his offence, the
smuggler had been condemned to die.
A single whip was rose at the stabonrd yard arm,
and all hands were called to witness the execution.
The lope was Housed and slipped over the ciilprit'a
head, and the running eud was rove through a
small hatch-block on the deck. Intil this moment
not a word hud escaped the lips of the boy He
tumbled as lie beheld theawful preparations, and
as the fatal noose was passed and drawn light, the
color forsook his cheeks, and he sprang forward
and dropped upon his knees before the incensed
captain.
“Mtrey, sir; mercy.”
“F< r whom.’' asked the oftmer, tvliiiecontemp
tuous sneer rested upon his lips.
“For that old man whom you are about to kill."
“He dies, boy.”
■•lint he is ray father, sir.”
“No matter if he were my own father, that man
who strikes an English officer while in the per
formance of his duty must die.”
"But he- was manacled—be was insulted, sir,”
urged the boy.
“Intuitu!:” repeated the captain; “whoinsulted
him !”
“You did, sir,” replied the boy, while his face
was Hushed with indignation.
“Get up, sir, and he careful you don't get the
snme treatment," said the captain, in a savage tone.
The old man heard this a fine a I of his son, and ns
the last words dropped from the lips of his captor,
he raised his head, and while a look of the utmost
defiance pass d over his features, he exclaimed—
“ Ask no favors, Robert. Old Karl Kinioc.k can
die as well now as at any tune—let them do the
worst.”
Then turning to Captain Darcutt, he changed
bis tone to one of deep supplication, and said—
‘‘Do what you please with me, sir, do not harm
my boy, for he has done no worng. I am ready for
your sentence, and the sooner you finish it the
better."
‘•Lay hold every man of you, and stand by to
run the villain up.”
1 it obedience to this order the men ranged them
selves along the deck, and each one laid hold of
the rope. Robert Kintock looked first at Ins father
and then he ran his eyes alone the line of men who
were to be bis executioners. Rut not one sym
pathising or pitying look could he trace. Their
faces were all hard and cold, and they all appeared
anxious to consummate their murderous work.
"What!" exclaimed the boy, while a tear started
from Ins trembling lid, “is there no one even, who
can pity l”
“I'p with him,” ahouted the captain.
Robert buried his face in his hands, arid the next
moment his father was swinging at the yard arm.
He heard the passing r.<pe and creaking block, and
be knew that he was fatherless!
Half an hour afterwards the boy knelt by the
side or a ghostly corpse, a simple prayer escaped
hia lips. Then another low, .murmuring sound
came up from his bosom; but none of those who
stood around knew itc import. It was a pledge of
deep revenge.
Just as the old man’s body slid from the gang
way into the water, a vivid Dash of lightuing
streamed through the heavens, and in another
minute the dread artillery of nature sent forth a roar
so long and loud that the men actually placed
their hands to their ears to shut out its deafening
power. Robert Kintock started at tbe sound,
and what had caused dread in others’ besom sent
a thrill of satisfaction to bis own.
“Oh, revenge! revenge!” he muttered to himself
which had already risen beneath the power of the
suuden storm.
The darkness had come as quickly as did the
storm arid ail that could be distinguished from the
deck of the brig, save the breaking sea, was the
fearful, craggy shore, as flash alter flash of light
ning illuminated the heavens.
“Light, ho,” shouted the man foward, and the
next moment all eyes were turned to a bright light
which had suddenly flashed up among the distant
rocks.
The wind had now reached its height, and with
its giant power it settlie ill fated brig directly upon
the surf bound snore of nicks and reefs, and every
laee, save one, was blanched with fear.
In vain did they try to lay the brig to the wind,
but cot a sail would hold for an instant, until at
length the men managed to get up a fore and main
storm-staysail, and then the brig stood for a short
time bravely up against the heaving sea. But it
was evident that even should she succeed iu keep
ing to the wind, she must eventually be driven
ashore, for the power of the in-setting waves was
greater than that of the wind.
“Boy, do you know what light that is T” asked
(he captain, as he stood holtUng uu to tbe main
rigging to keep his feet.
over the foam crested waves
I cs, sir, rcpiicu uuucii, it is nuuniiui'j a
cme ”
“Wfaat is it there tor”’
“It marks the enlraoce to a little harbor, sir,
which lies in the back of it ”
“And can it be entered by a vessel of tMssiie?"
asked the captain while a gleam of hope shot across
hut face.
“O, yes. sir, a large ship can enter there.”
“ And do you know the passage ?”
“Yes, air; I have spent my whole life on this
coasl, and 1 know every turn in it.”
“Can you lake the brig in there in this storm."
“Yes, sir,” answered the boy, while a strange
light shot from his eves.
“And will yon do it?” eagerly asked the captain.
“On two conditions.”
“Name them quickly.”
“The first is, that you tel trie go in peace: and
the next, that you trouble nunc of the smugglers,
should they happen to t>e there. '
“l will promise," said lips captain. “And now
set about your work. But mark rae, if you deceive
me, hv St. George 1 will "'shout you on the mo
ment.”
The brig was soon put before the wind, and
Robert KintocK stationed himself upon the star
board fore yard-arm, from whence his order* were
passed along to tin: helmsman. The bounding
vessel soon came withiu sight of the ragged crags,
and the heart of every man leaped with fearful
thrills as they were swept past a frowning rock
which almost prated them as they passed. On
flew the brig, and thicker and u»re fearful became
the r icks, which raised their head* on every side.
“Port r* shouted the boy.
“Port it is.”
“Steady—so.”
“Steady it is.”
“Starboard—q u i« k ?”
“Ay. Ay, starboard It is. ’
“Steady—so.”
“Steady it «.”
At this moment the vessel swept on past so
oVerna aging cliff, sod just as a vivid flash of light
ning shot through the heavens and revealed all the
horrors around, a loud shout was heard from the
young pilot, and in a moment all eyes were turned
towards him. He stood upon the extreme edge »<
the yard and held hiiasetf hy the left hand- In a
moment more, be crouched down like a tiger after
hi* prey, ami then with#me leap he reached the
projecting rock.
“ Kerenige.' Reorngt!" was all that the doomed
men beard, and they were swept away into the
boiling surge beyond.
“ lir*ai*r»! a rerf !" screamed the roan forward,
StarUnura! tniirl.y
But ’twus too late! Ere the helm was half up,
a ow tremendous grating of the brig’* keel was
distinct!' felt, and the next iustaBt came a crash
which sounded high above the elements, and the
heavy mass went sweeping away to the leeward,
followed iri a few momenta by large masses of the
ill fiti.s', vessel’s wreck and cargo. Shriek sf'er
shriek went up from these doomed men, bttt they
were in the grasp of a power that know* no mer
cy. The Storm King took them alt for bis o»n !
The net) morning a small party of wrecki rs
came down from the rocks, and moved along the
shore. It was strewed with fragments of the
wreck, and here and there wete scattered along
the bruited and mutilated forms of the ship's crew.
Among the paTtv was Robert Kinlock. and eager
ly did he search among the ghastly corpses, as
though there were one ho wouid have found. At
length he stopped and stooped over one, upon the
shoulder of which were two golden epaulettes.—
’Twas tl|e ejintmit of the brig—tin- murderer of his

1 ne’er have seen thee—1 have never heard
Thy gentle voice of music, yet 1 know
That thou art beautiful, and, like a bird
On S'Siring wings, thy spirit-thoughts outflow
1H heavenly music on a world of woe ;
And tiiou canst stir cold feeling with the spell
Thy genius weaves atounihit, audits glow.
Like magic, o’er all hearts end souls doth dwell,

I know that thou art missioned with the sift
Of genius, ami its darning thoughts of lire,
Ami fancy is thy dowry—thou canst lift
Thy soul above the earth, ami free aspire
On wings of ether, while thy deep-toned lyre,
Strung with the melody and soul ol song.
All nature wakes its sweetness to admire,
Since unto thee and to thy harp belong
The noblest gifts of soul, earth’s music to prolong.
1 know that earth is l>eautiful to thee,
1 know that each fresh wild-flower of the spring,
Kafita,hue,of sunset, eaeh sweet note of glee,
By wild bird warbled on a passing wing,
i Ami e«ch young rose of May fresh blossoming,
In wood or vale, a beauty to thine eye,
And to thine ear swtet music ever bring,
For oh ! all lovely things of earth and sky
Are unaned on thy soul in mild serenity.
1 know, dear girl, I know that grief now’ weighs
On thy yonug heart like darkness on the sky,
Vet through its gloom two stars tlnne eye surveys,
Tile sister stars of hope ami memory,
The one bright glancing o’er a world gone by.
The other through the mists of coming life,
And yet thy thoughts unceasing soar on high,
As soars the lark on wings with freedom rife,
Above the wastes of earth—its weariness and strife,
I know that life hath many charms to bless
A genius gifted spirit 1 ke Urine own ;
1 know that of its light and loveliness
Thy aoul can build unto itself a throne,
Where it may bow in silence and alone.
Hut then tliy heart looks upward from life’s vale
To where it ne’er again may sigh or moan,
And longs to bo where on the passing gale
No sigh is ever heard, no earthly woe or wail.

“ What have you here, husband?” said Mrs,
Courtlaud to her careful and thrifty spouse, as the
laller paused in the open door t give some direc
tions to a couple of porters who hud just set some
thing on the pavement in front of the house.
"Just wait a moment, and 1 will tell you —
Henry! John! bring it in here;” the two porters
entered with a beautiful sofa, nearly new.
" V\ hy, this is a beauty, husband! How kind
you are.”
“ It’s a second hand, you perceive: but it’s hard
ly soiled—no one would know the difference.”
It s just as good as new. What did you givg
for it ?'
“ That’s the best part of it. It is a spiendu
bargain. I! didn’t coat a cent less than two hun
dred dollars. Now what do you think 1 got il
for/”
" Sixty dollars!”
“ Guess again.”
"Fifty!”
" Guess agtan.”
“ Forty-Jive/"
“ No. Try again,”
” Hut what did you give for it dear”’
“ Why, only twenty dollars.”
" Well, now, that is a bargain.”

" Wby, how in the world did you eel it so low?
“ 1 itMuaged that. It ain’t every one that ua
demands how to do these thing*/'
“ Hut Low did you tuauage it, dear? I fhoult
like- to know.”
“ Why, you see, there was a great many ot ho
things there, and among the rest some dirty car
pets. Before the sale, l pulled over these carpet:
and threw them upon the sofa; a good deal of dug
fell from them, and made the sofa look fifty pe
cent, worfcc than it really was. When the salt
was commenced, there happened to be but few
persons there, and 1 asked the auctioneer to set
the sofa first, as 1 wanted logo, arid would bid fa
u if it were sold then. Few persons bid freely a
the opening of a sate.”
” U hat’s bid for a splendid sofa?’ he Logan.
” I'll give you fifteen dollars for it," said I; ”it';
not worth more than that, for it’s dreadfull]
abused,”
“Fifteen lollirs 1 fifteen dollar*trimly fifttoi
dollars lot lbr$ beautiful sofa !” he wentoni and i
man nest to me bid seventeen dollars. 1 let tin
auctioneer cry the last bid for a few moments, un
lil.i saw he was likely to knack it dowu.
” Twenty dollars’” said 1; and that's as atucl
as I'll go for it
The other bidder was deceived by this as to Ifr
real value of the sofa, for it did look drcadfuil
distillled by the dust and dirt, and Consequently tb
sofa was knocked off t me.
“That was admirably done, indeed,” said Mrs
Courll.nid, with a bland smile of satisfaction a
haring obtained the elegant piece of furniture *
so cheap a rate. , “And it’s so neat a mu,!., tou
for the sofa in our front parlor.”
Tilts aoene oc cured at tlie residence, of a ukt
chant in this city, wfto was beginning to count ht

the pmtufr .
On the day previous to the sale, a widow lad
with one daughter, a beautiful and interesting gu
about seventeen, was Mated on a aoia in a neatl
' furnished parlor in Hudson street. The matte
held in bet hand • stoat! piece, of paper, on wbie
her eye* were intently fired; twit it could be readi
! ty perceived that she saw uot the character* thi
' were written upm it.

Mi** Leonard's cannot beTpTriented for two weeks,
and then it will not amount to this sum.”
“ Can’t we sell something more, rna?" suggested j
the daughter.
"We have *cdd nil our plate and jewelry, anji i
1 now I’m sure 1 don't know what we can disport
j of, unless it be aomct.fi\ua that «« really want,*
" Wliut do von say to retling 'lu* s fa, ma(”
“ Well, I don't know, Florence. It don't so. m
right to part with it. Hut perhaps we can dc with
out it.”
“It will readily bring fifty rloliars, 1 suppose,” >
“Certainly. It is the best wood .‘*1 workman j

j Your fwher bought it a sbor. time i>efor. he died,
and that is not more than l*iO%»rj past, yon

j “ 1 should thiuk it would bring nearlv o o hua.
I dred djllt*rs,” said Florence, who knew nothing of
auction sacrifices, “ end that would give us enough
j besides paying the quarter's rent, to keep us com-j
fortably until some of my bill* become due.”
That afternoon, the sofa was sent, and on the ■
' nest afternoon Florence went to the actioneer’a to '
receive the money font.
“ Have yon sold the sofa, yet ” asked the timid
; girl, in a low, hesitating voice.
i “ What sofa, Miss’” asked the clerk harking
steadily in her face with a bold stare.
“ The sofa sent by Mrs. -, sir.”
j “ \V lien was it to have been sold
“ Yesterday, nr.”
“ Oh, we havn’t got the bill made out yet. You
: can call the day after tomorrow, and we’ll settle
! it tor you.'/
” Can't you settle it to-day, sir? We want the
| money, particular?
j Without ’replying tothe timid girl's request, the
clerk commenced throwing over the leaves of the
account book, and in a few minutes had taken off
the bill of I he sofa.
“Here it i*—eighteen dollars and sixty cents.
See if it is right, and then sigu.this receipt.”
j “Ain't you mistaken, sin 'it was a beautiful
sofa, hipi cost oue hundred and forty dollars.”
1 “ That’s all it brought, Miss, I assure you—fur
niture st-lis very badly, now.”
Florence rolled up the bills that were given her,
and turned home with a heavy heart.
I “It only brought eighteen dollars and sixty
| cent*, ma." she said, throwing the notes into tier
j mother's lap, and barsting into tears.
“ Heaven only knows, then, what we shall do,”
| saiil the widow, clasping her hands togettur, and
looking upwards.
There are always two parties m the case of bar
gains, the1 gainer and loser, and while the one is
delighted with the advantage he has obtained, he
j thinks nothing of the necessities witch have forced
the other puny to* accept the highest offer. Hut
few buyers of bargains think or care about taking
Ibis view of the subject.
The la«t Performance on the “SI. tioui*.**
A goodly uun.ber of the “sovereigns” was on
hand, clean shaved, yesterday momne. at the sale
ou the boards ol the old St. Louts; tS ru ing, as
i staled in the bills, positively the last performance,
under the management of Mr. Austin. As an ad
ditional attraction Sol Sindh took the part of
prompter and general commentator, and with that
herafs proverbial faeetie, helped to carry off the
■ chairs and tc.bles with some spirit, rtespde the
heaviness sitting upon old play goers present, at
their last )>eep at the classic rubbish. Few are
acquainted w ith the behind the curtain business
1 of the stage, and when an opportunity of free ac
cess to its mysteries occurs, every part is over run.
from beneath the stage, where queer demons and
whde muslin fames spring up suddenly to the
seizure or succor of rustic virtue, to the roof, in
habited by a mystic population, always to lie seen
in shirt sleeves, never in any other wav, hanging
• desperately on to long rop> s, or regula'.inu the
general appearance of the clouds and roofs of
houses. Hot as we have not space to run through
wind our pen would love to linger on, w descend
I at once from the clouds to the foot lights, where
j manager Austin, in his usual manner, is talking
right straight at them; and here, while our ears
are saluted with .‘.'going at fiftt-en cents," our
eyes ca.ch the spot where pool Mis. Shea fell, fur
it is at our feet; and there across the grove is the
mark of the dea h missile as it fell from her head.
Then fell a Kemble and a must true and kind wo
man’s heart. To the sale, which we should say
was introduced by an elderly gentleman in green
spectacles and yellow cotton umbrella, being sud
denly precipitated through a trap bito the depths
beneath, from which retreat he was rescued, look
mg very cobwebby and solemn, by a delegation of
familiars.

The time the Mayor aat caa(M,
Lon* UTBC ago, in a certain city in the wevtern
part of the county *4 busses, Ktiyland, «j, adyer
t.sr-tmoit appeared one day offering a reward of ten
guinea* to any person who would give information1
to the Mayor wha were the rowdies who broke |
three of the town lamps on the previous night.
It happened that the Mayor was a hardware
merchant, and the nest morning early, after the
appearance of the offer of this reward, by the
lamp committee, of which the Mayor was ev oili
cio chairman, a carpenter, who was in the halm
of dealing with the Mayor, walked into hia store
and enquired for the owner. Tin clerk wits very
officious to watt on the customer—said his master
had not yet come down—had heen very much
broke of hi* rest lately, in consequence of sc many
mischievous persons in town. “ Why, sir, they
have actually heei* breaking the lamp*, just here
in West at mot.''
“Oh. ves." says the carpenter, “ l i.i»- the ro-1
ward offered, and l thought 1 would cornu and tell i
the Mayor who did the mischief ’’
“Can you, indeed 1 Well. I will step up and
tell him—he will be delighted to hear you name -
the rascals.”
“I doubt tha' : but I'll see.”
he will be down directly—as soon as he
cun finish his breakfast.”
As soon as he entered, he commenced denounc
ing the lamp-born king rascals, and inquiring of ihe
carpenter “if he hud any idea they could be dis- ;
covered , I
He told him he thought he might give him some
information that would put his honor on the track

than one of them—no doubt very peat r,un-ala,
too—about the worst in town. “ But perhaps it
won't be beat to let anybody but yoiflf worstiip
know who I suspect, until u-e find wether we can
catch them or not, and so 1 wil! go into your prt
vate office, if you please.”
When safe from all intrusive listeners, the May
or ret)nested him to state his reasons why he sus
pected any particular person.
“ Why,” says he, ” about three o’clock in the
morning, 1 was turning round the corner of thy
Cross, into West-street, when I heard the smash
of a lump, as though a brick had been thrown into
it.”
“ Dul you see any one J” inquired the Mayor
eagerly.
“ 1 did not.”
" W ell, then, go on ; I see we shant be able to
find out the rascals.”
"Perhaps tic. but we will try. When l heanl
the smash, 1 heard a hearty laugh, and a voice
say, • l’U bet a crown, Jo. you can't do that!'—
No quicker said than smash went another Lamp,
and thru another ‘ha: bar and a i.n«o «*y
' you’ve lost, old fellow. Now. .Tim, .t’» your turn,
old horse/ I'm sure he didn't say • mart,' your
worship. Within a minute, away went the third.
Hy that time i had >$>t to Old Sally White's door,
where I stood till the three passed me."
" Hut now the lights were out, you could not
sec who they were f”
“No' but I knew the laugh right well.”
" Is it possible ? Hut the third one did not laugh
you say, so you could not tell who he was.”
* No ! your worship. 1 did not my so, though I
perceive you think so. Weil, he did not.”
"Ah, very well! And who do you think the
fellows were that you did hear laugh T”
" Why, the first was Mr. L-, and the one
he called Jo, was Mr. R-.”
"Oh! that is quite impossible! They are two
ilf our most respec-table Citizens— besides they are j
incut* rs of the lamp comrm’tec who have offered :
the reward. Oh ! it is quite impossible
" Not at all, your worship. I am very sure, for
1 saw them when they ran up West street. 1 waa
then standing in the shade of Sally White’s door
way. I am quite certain, and i should not be sur- 1
prised if the third was a still more respectable ci- '
tizen !'•
'• Is it possible ? Out on a spre*. 1 suppose, i
Who could the third one be—you did not hear
i turn laugh, you say
“No; but I saw him plainer than either of the '
others. Hhall I na-ne him T'
"Stop! stop! for pity sake, stop!—not a word .
more. Have you told any one T”
" Not a soul. 1 thought best to tell the Mayor I
first, and fake hrs advice.”
“You have acted very judiciously. You shall I
have the reward roost freely. 1 will pay it ott ot ,
uiy own pocket. Come here this evening about,
nine o'clock. Toro and Jo shall be present to hear
