Mr.. ED1ToR:-While ascending the

In Coles county there lived man nam-

Newspaper Patronage.

This thing called newspaper patronage
lis curious thing. 1t is composed of as
many colors as rainbow, and is as change
able as chameleon.
One man subscribes for newspaper
and pays for i, in advance; he goes home
and reads it with the proud satisfaction that
it is bis own. He hands in an advertise
ment,asks the price and pays for ii. This
is newspaper patronage.
Another man says, please put my rame
OF your list Of subscribers; and goes off
without as much us having suid pay once.
Fl Q asks you 10 advertise, bat says nothing
about pay for it. Time passes, your pa
tience is exhausted and you dun him. He
flies in passion, perhaps pays, perhaps
not.
Another man has been subscriber
long. time. He becomes tired Of ou, and
wants change. Thinks he wants an cas-
tern paper. Tells the postmaster TO dis.
continue, and one of his papers is returned
to you, marked refused Paying up for il
is among the last of his thoughts, besides,
he wants his money 10 send to an eastern
publisher.
After q. time you look over hi. ascodat,
and send bill Of balance due But does
he pay il cheerfully and freely? We leave
him TO answer. This too, is newspaper pat
ronage.
Another man lives near toa-never took
yotlr paper-it is too small don t like the
editor, don't like the poli.ics-too whigish.
too loco(ocoisb, or FOO something else-yet
goes regularly TO his neighbor and reads
his by good ire-fnds fault with its con.
tents, disputes its positions, and qunrrels
with its type. Occasionally sees an article
he lkes-saves half dime, and begs q
number. This too is newspaper patronage.
Another sports fine horse, or RenhaIs
n pair OF them-is always seen. whip in
hand and spur on fool-single man-no
use for him to take newspaper-kn knows
enough. Finally he concludes to get mar-
ried-does se-sends notice Of the fact
with please publish and send me half u
dozen copies.' This done, does he ever
pay for notice or papers? No, but surely
you cont charge for such things? This,
too, is newspaper patronage.
Another man (bless you, it does us good
10 see such mani comes and says, the
year for which have paid is about to ex-
pire, and wont to pay for another. He
does so and retires.
Reader: is not newspaper patronage
curious thing2 And in that great day when
honest men get the reward due to their
honesty, which say you of those enumera-
ted obove will obtain Tint reward? Now
it will be seen, that while certain kinds Of
patronage are the very life and essence Of
n newspaper, there are certain kinds that
will kill paper stone dead.--Illinois Or

Mr. Austin hastened to the inn where lay
his woundedson; I'VE say, for Frederick was
not dead. Stretched out upon a bed of
agony, the anxious farther found him and
thanked heaven that he was still alive.
you are severely hurt?' said Mr. Austin,
pressing his hand while tears gathered in
his eyes.
"A slight wound-a mere trihe.' replied
Frederick, and faint smile played upon
his lips.
On the following morning, Mr.. Austin
and Ellen went to visit Frederick. The
poor girl had scarcely recovered from the
shock of the preceding night, but anxiety for
her brother bore her up. She had not syet
dared to confess to her parents who was
the antagonist of their son, nor could she
realize the fearful truth herself.
The travellers had left the inn, but the
landlord gave full relation of the duel ,con-
cealing only the name of Clinton. On the
arrival of Ellen and her mother, however, he
changed bis resolution and revealed the
whole. At the name Of Clinton, Austin
started.
sAh! that explains his conduct of last
night he cried.
sHe has hedp said Ellen, covering her
face with her hands.
sAnd it is wellp exclaimed her farther
sternly.
For three weeks, Frederick Austin was
unable to leave the inn; but at the end Of
that, he was sufficiently recovered to be
transported to his fathers house.

AS you have been great in the combat,

CIVIL WAR IN ILLINOIS.

PADUcAH, Aug. /.
A band of lawless, thieving despera-
does, with the unenviable appellation of
Flatheads, have for some time past COM
mitted outrageous depfedations upon the
honest portion of the population of the
Southern end of Illinois. The band of
thieves number about three hundred.
For the safety of life and personal
property, about five hundred of the most
respectable inhabitants Of that State
formed themselves into an association
called the Regulators.
The aggrcSsions perpetrated by the
Fhtheads becoming insupportable, the
Regulators determined to use the most
vigorous measures to bring culpriss to
justice. They accordingly procured
writs for the arrest ef ten or twelve of
the leaders of the Flathead gang, and
summoned the officers TO aid them in the
execution of the law.
The Fiatheods hearing of this move
ment, the most determined of them, to
the number of about seventy five, ASSEM-
bled IN log house, where, armed to the
teeth, and inakinga fort of the.log house,
they determined to stand their ground,
