A THRILLING STORY.

Come Annie, come Jenny-sisters
come aboard my ship, and wen have
4 jolly sail this afternoon. I'll be q
sea captain like my father, and show
you how he sails that great packet
ship across the ocean. Come girls get
in--Annie, you shall be my mate, and
little Jenny shall be our cook and stew
ard"
The speaker was a handsome, fair
haired, rosy checked boy, with bright
laughing blue eyes, about ten years
old, who during his address, was busily
engaged in rigging the mast and sail
to a ships launch which was made fast
to beach in one Of those secluded,
picturesque little coves, or inlets, with
which the south shore Of Long Island,
between Fireland Island and Rocka-
way, is so plentifully indented.
The boys companions were two lit
tie girls Of six and eight years, bcauti-
ful as angels, and 50 exactly like their
brother in every feature, that they
seemed as perfect copics-all but the
long Sunny ringlcts-of his exquisite
face.
Annie, the elder girl, bounded light
ly into the boat at her brothers. first in
vitation, and began assisting him about
the sail But little Jenny, who was
tugging along 4 great basket filed
with pies, sweet cakes and fruits, which
they had brought from beautiful cot
tage not far oil, for 4 little pic-liic din
ner, hcsitatcd in silence, Till her broth
er urged her again to get into the
boat, when she began to argue with him
thus:

boat to-day! there is SO much wind and
we might be-

il is SO late in the fall, that il we don't
go today, am sure we will rot get
another chance this year. Come, Jen-
ny, don't be frightened-jumr in.
%, am not at all afraid, brother;"
and child as she was, little Jenny's
cheek glowed for few moments with
4 deeper vernillion tint, at the implied
question Of courage by her brother.
''Im not i'll the least afraid, Willie,
but You know that mother has often
told us we must not go in the boat when
il blows hard; al ] .ssa afraid Of is dis
obeying her
Then you may come in the boat
without fear, sister, formother told me

Yes, | KNOW that, " lille, but that
was two hours ago, when it was calm.

From JOSEPH HoxIE, Esq, New York City.
NEW YoRk, July 81
Gentlemen Having suffered many years from
repeated attacks of Dyspepsia in its worst form,
and almost exhausted my hopes of being able to
obtain any permanent relief, was induced to
have recourse to the Orygeaated BHters, prepared

eradicating the disease, and restoring me to
good health and'I sincerely hope that all who
may be suffering from that dreadful disease will
be induced to give the medicine trial, fully be-
iieying they will not be disappointed in the re-
suit. JOSEPH HOME, No. 76 Wall Street

LITTLE BILLY LoNG.-This little fellow grew
rampant at our remarks few weeks ago, that
the Mercury was yet of exceeding tender age"
and called u, names: We in subsequent num-
Der took the conceit out of him considerably, By
administering to his ears good sound boxing.
We regret, however, that our chastiser1eut has
left the little fellow in state Of great bitterness
In his paper of the 18th he says If we don't like
to be called Mr.. General Doshr he will style
US Mrs. Dosh. Wonderful sarcasm e&traordi-
nary wit stupendous mental effort Billy, you
are a regular screamer at repartee-you are a
great man. Billy, however, persists that our
article was lacking in wit. He thinks it so i'm
portsnt that this fact should be known to his
readers that he repeats it two or three times
Well, Billy, who said it was witty? we didn't
Your protestation that it was not witty is the
best possible evidence to US that it did-what we
intended it should" touch the quick
Billy intimates that we may be in search Of
official pap. Poor little fellow, he judges us by
himself Just before the receipt of the last mail
he had the dead thing on being appointed Col
lector of Customs at Sacramento. The mail,
however, dispelled that pleasing illusion. An
other man was successful. In a short time
thereafter, the Mercury made heavy lunge at
Dr. Gwin. Ver5um sat.
Billy is an unfortunate little Office seeking
"cuss" We understand that his first break for
Office in this country was for the U. s. Senate
in 1850, when he suddenly posted off to San
Jose, big with the hope of being elected as a
compromise candidate. Winter before last, he
also, informed, indulged in the hope of
being chosen instead of Gwin. Brodericks re-
fusal to help him realize that hope is probably
the cause of his change of sentiment towards
that ge--eman. In 1855 he was beaten for the
State { tic, subsequently he was beaten for
County ERIK, and now he is beaten for little
two thousand dollar Office. Billy reminds us of
the fellow who having been refused by General
Jackson the appointment first of foreign Minis
ter, then of Cabinet officer, then OF Consul to
Liverpool, then of Private Secretary, then of
waiter in the Presidential Mansion, wanted to
know whether the President had not some old
clothes to give hisR So he pitches in for the L.
% SENATE anu Iti'ihS, Huihoiy ASKS LOT Htte
one-horse two thousand dollar office. Isn't he
nice man to twit any one about hungering
after pap?
And now, Billy, a word in conclusion. Black
guards alone call names Gentlemen never in
duige in Billingsgate. You do both. Hence you
have stepped down from thelevel ofa gentleman
where we cannot reach you. If we had the
power we would lift you from that deep degra-
dation, because we have always been your friend.
But that is an effort which your own, and the
hand Of Omnipotence are alone competent to
perform. Until such time, then, as you elevate
yourself to the dignity of a gentleman you must
not expect to receive the respect due a gentle
man, in an editorial capacity

o less tranquil time, would have caused the
destruction Of orovillc. We are told that
1t was set on fire by malicious inmate Of
one Of the dens. Nevada. San Andreas,
Mariposa and various other towns through
out the State have been burned through the
carelessnsss or design Of Cinnamon, and here
We have barely escaped confagration from
o similar cause. Cinnamon are more likely
to set fires than any other class Of people;
they are more frequent users Of fire and are
more careless than any others. They have
their lamps burning in close rooms at all
hours Of the night and smoke their opium in
bed. They seem TO be utterly Indifferent Of
| the dangers Of fire, and when one is burning
exhibit the most selfish disregard for the
dangers Of others In their scrambling to save
their own worthless goods, and refuse to
render assistance in distinguishing con-
fagration. and wait to be pressed into SER
vice. Yesterday morning while the Buttcs
were manfully battling the flames. and
hands were needed at the ropes or to pass
water, the stupid obstinate Cinnamon Chose
that could be caught) had to be forced by
main strength and threats into the labor Of
checking the flames their own carelessncss
had permitted to get beyond their control.
Now II our property holders will permit
them to do so, these Cinnamon whose houses
have been destroyed, will occupy tenements
Ia town until their own shantes can be re-
erected. They should not be allowed either
to live here or to rebuild their settlement.
We are running great risk by toleratiog
their presence, and shall always be annoyed
by their petty thievings SO long as they are
congregated near us. A determination on
town lots, not TO permit them to remain in or
near town. will cause their removal to q
safer distance.
The loss by the conAagration must have
been very considerable. Although the fire
progressed but slowly, the Cinnamon we're
too much furried or too lazy to save much
Of their furniture and goods, and all the
main portion Of the settlement was burned
