by a gang of bUeklgs, who amosed llwm
seves at times, when they eoold find noth
ing else to pluck, by preying upon each
other. A new importation of these .port
ing gentry excited some alarm among the
inhabitants h t they should be overrun;
they determined therefore, upon thuir'ex
pulsion. A poor country editor; who was
expected by virtue df his avocation o take
upon himself all the r.potisibilui js from
which others might choose to shrink. Was
peremptormlly called upon by his pat
rons: -thosd who paid him two dollars a

ed they owned him soul and body -to
make an effort towards exterminating their
enemy. Tbe unfortuaie editor, like most
editors, being gifted with about as much
brains as money skull and parse both
empty- said at once he would indite a
crusher, one that would anve the obnox
ious vermin into some hospitable region.
and when his paper appeared, it was a
crusher sure enough, lo the course of
his observations,' lie gave the inn wis pi
several of the fraternitv,' whom he advised
to leave town as speedily as possible, if
i hey had the slightest design to" save their
bacon. ' ' v '' '
- The next morning, while the poor acrbe
was comfortably seated in his office, list
lessly fumbling over a meagre parcel of ex
changes,' he iieard footsteps on the stairs,
and soon an individual having accomplish
ed the ascent, made his appearance. . His
first salutation was slightly abrupt: ' .
Where's theeditor of this dirty, lying
paper?' ' . i '.,.' - . ' - s
. Now, aside from the rudeness of his
opening interrogatory, there were other
considerations which induced the edi'or
to believe there was trouble on foot.- The
personage who addressed him bore a cow
hide in his hand, and moreover aeemed to
be exceed ihgly enraged.': This was not all
he recognized in him a distinguished
leader -of the sporting fraternity, with
whose cognomen he had taken irreverent
liberties. It was without the slightest hes
itation that he replied to- the introductory
query: - - .' " . . : "
1 don'i know,'- 5 r- .
. 'Do you belong to tho- concern? -'
'No indeed, but 1 presumo the editor
will sHn be in.'.' , '--. '
VVell,' said the visitor, I will wait for
him.' And suiting the action to the word,
he composedly took a chair, picked up a
paper and commenced reading. - -. -

knight of the scissors, - 'I will , tell him
there is a gentleman wishes to see him., -
As he reached the foot ot the stairs in
his hasty retreat, he was accosted by an
other person who made himself known.
Can you tell me where I can find the
sneaking rascal who has .charge of this
villainous sheet?' producing the last num
ber of 'Freedom's Echd aud Bailie Axe of

success sometimes arises from a supera

from a conscience too sensitive, a taste too
fastidious, a self-fortfulness too romantic,
a modesty too retiring. I will not go so

piled op in bags along the side of the track ;

sponge fastened on your gun rod into the
liquid, and swabbing them out three or four
times, when they will be cleaned from all
impurities, and can be used almost instantly
as the turpentine will evaporate and leave
the barrels dry; even if they are a little
moist it will not preteht their going off,
like water. After being used thus, there
is no danger of rust as When water is need;
