How "YoUEG AMERICA" LIKE TO
HAVE SHOT A GHosT.-A few evenings
ago boy about ten years of age, who we
will call George, wished to go over to q
neighbours house to see one of his school
mates, after dark, and got negro boy
about his own sizs to accompany him.
The two started, and young man who
heard the arrangement Of their visit, de-
termined to play trick Oh them to
brighten them back; 80 he procured a
sheet and FASTENED off before they got
out, in order to meet them. They had
not got far from the house, before the
ghost made his appearance, which nearly
frightened the little niger into fits. He
only waited to get peep at the terrible
apparition, and then made tracks for
home, with rapidity that would have
done honor to the best of "tall walkers;
not so, however, with George; he had toe
much pluck in him for that He sang
out for the little niger not to run, that
he had pistol loaded, and he would kill
the ghost. SO, running his hand in his
pocket, he drew forth little pocket pis-
tol and cooked it, Here, then, was fix
for real live ghost to be in; and as there
was no time left for reflection he THE
ghost quickly dofled his winding sheet
and proclaimed his identity to young
America" thereby saving his bacon
as it tarned out afterwards that the little
fellow did have loaded pistol, which he
had borrowed from his schoolmate, un-
beknown to his parents, and was then
proceeding to return it to its owner
When questioned by his father as tc
whether he intended to shoot, he said
| "Wcll, par, what is a little fellow like
me to do, if anything. shares me, and
| havea pistol ready loaded. Sure l would
have pulled trigger"

QUIET.-There was only one arrest last
night, and that was a young man, who
by mistake took a LEETLE too much Of
the cREETUR. He imbibed so freely that
he could not take care Of himself, and it
was an act Of duty and charity that the
Waterman did take him in charge. He
appeared this morning before the Mayor,
who after giving BIN little advice-dis-
charged him.

Too GOOD TO BIZ LosT.--A few evenings
since, we were in company with IS little
girl about eleven summers old. when the
conversation turned upon '1iterature,'
when our little friend remarked that she
had some idea of writing book herself.
Weimmediately gave our opinion concern
ing the matter, and concluded our remarks
by saying that it was our opinion that she
could write a better book than a great
many who had already tried, and that it
would prove to be quite profitable. At
the conclusion Of this remark, our little
friend looked us full in the face and with
very contemptuous shake of the head,
said, that she aeould indeed be sorry ysbe
Ind to ,oritc for a liri'g. We felt on
gizzard beat fast, for the cap fitted us.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Hail honored ages of grand progression,
While each one clings to his profession,
And science moves with onward motion,
To suit each hayward thought and notion,
Bringing to light, some new invention,
More strange than modern wit can mention,
Or genius paint with true endeavor,
Though making graphic strides forever,
While reason urges proud ambition,
To strive for wondrous competition;
Yet in this age of glorious Art,
We can the need Of praise impart,
When meritorious efforts claim
A modest puff to gild the name,
Ind thus we call with honest pride,
Attention to the Painters Side,
:. Two men who bravely know their calling,
Whose works are worthy of extolling,
Two model artists OF the day,
And most obliging in their way,
Moreland g. Jakeman--mark the name,
In Roanoke street you'll find the same,
Call at their shop number one,
Youth get the best of Painting done,
And whether Foe, Friend, or neighbor,
THEY'LL charge but moderate for their LABOR,
So now invite each one and all,
So walk around, and give them call.

Forcing LoUe.-A young woman, employed
as servant girl in the house of a gentleman, re-
siding on Main street, made Information yester.
day, before an Alderman, charging young man
with the larceny of daguereotype of herself and
a letter which she had received from s.another
feller." The young oman was sent for and appear
ed very much confused and frightened. A very
small boy was there ready to swear that he saw
the young man take the things. The accused
acknowledged the theft, went down into his
pockets, brought them up and deposited them
upon the table, with an air which seemed to saw
that settles the matter. He said he took the
