creole clerk, who had robbed and MUIR
dered the merchant who employed him.
He was sentenced to be garroted, but

before the execution"
While the doctor had been speaking a
dreadful change had taken place in Wat

THAT man." said the doctor, suddenly
turning round and pointing to Watson,
twas the creole | heard sentenced to death.
You see he can not deny it,. Can you,
then, believe the wild accusation of such a
man against his three companions, one OF
whom, indeed, charges him with having
endeavored to persuade him to steal and
divide the ships money!"
ARREST that man Watson" said the cap
tain-'.the evidence is sufficient-and re-
lease the other prisoners for the present. "
But before he could be seized Watson,
with a yell of madness, had drawn a long
Spanish knife, and fought his way up the
cabin stairs. Several sailors ran to strike
him down, but before they could reach
him the desperate fellow had thrown HIM
self over the side of the vessel. As the
men looked there was n splash of white
Just where Watson had fallen; one stitled
scream; mist of froth, as if u dozen raw

prey then a long trail of blood rose upon
the waves that had closed over the MUIR

"Those sharks were waiting for the ras-
cal, said Patterson afterwards "that's as
evident to me, Mr.. Mackay. as if saw it
written in the sun. He had lived his time.
He was wanted. Eth, man, an inch near

God be thanked for that escape!'
The innocence of Mackay and Mary
Cameron was now evident. A year from
that day Mackay and Mary Cameron were
married. Messrs. MCuffog and M'Cash
last year appointed Mackay Captain of
their largest vessel. Patterson goes out
as his boatswain. There is not. as every
one in Glasgow says, a more reliable cap
tain in the merchant service than Alexan-

trouble the rainbow of peace had risen
above Mary and her husband. They still
often talk of that Sunday before the launch
ing, when they both went to see the new
vessel, and Patterson predicted evil of the
good ship Siren, whose figure head bore
SO great resemblance to the mysterious
object of Maekay's admiration.

How TO DRAW. By CHARLES A. BARRY
Boston. James II. Osgood & Co., 1871.
Slight and simple as this little work ap-
pears at first sight, it contains the very es-
sence of the elementary principles OF drawing,
illustrated and made practically attanable
by an excellent series of examples. An in
telligent attention TO its rules and thorough
practice under its direction could not fail to
give the hand full mastery over the technical
rudments of the AIT. Believing firmly as
We do that it is an advantage in after
life to have acquired in childhood some
knowledge OF even those matters which are
not to enter largely into the business of ma
turity, we are glad of every effort which is
made to famliarise the young with dcfiurSe
and practical notions ia many different
directions as possible. While the mind is
plastic, the hand flexible, and the memory
under constant practice it is easy for even
ordinary pupils TO accumulate valuable infor-
nation and acquire fair amount of skill.--
In widening the field of Guilds studies a1d
exercises his advantages are multiplied a
thousand fold more than his labors are in
creased, for his normal state is a ceaseless ac-
tivity and under judicious direction bis sea
sons of rest are merely changes of pursuit.
There are few who may not with honest
practice attain facility in drawing, so far as
the art is carried in this treatise;
| and fewer who will at some time have
occasion to be glad that they have learn
| ed how to make line straight or curved at
will, to convey some idea of light and shade
upon paper, and thus at least roughly repre-
sent an object they wish to describe. Faci-
ty of this sort once acquired is not easily lost,
and there is not an occupation in life in which
1t cannot come in play with advantage to its
possessor. MIR. Barry seems to have reduced
the difficulties for beginners to their lowest
TERMS and TO supply the pupil with all the
assistance that can be given by precept and
example. Nj. j. NJ S,

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whocping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through a long
series Of years, and among most of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima.
ton, as 1t has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipent consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. As pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled CONSUMPTION. is thought in.
curable still great numbers of cases where the dis
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
ana the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry PectoraI. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the CAerry Pee
foral they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry PectoraI in small and frequent doses
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times q day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
For Whoopin0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times a day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
No ofamiy should be without the Cherry Pecto-
rat on hand to protect them, in case Of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often
spares the patient great amount of suffering and
risk, which he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid Parents, keep itin your houses
for the exigencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved 1t.
So generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here, or do more
than assure the public that the best qualities it ever
possessed are strictly maintained.
