THE alarming increase in the number of fright.
ful accidents, resulting in terrible deaths and
destruction of,uable property, caused by the in
discrimmste usWif•oils,,known under the nam

to an article which will, wherever used, remove the
cause of such accidents. We allude to
•
CARSON'S STELLAR OIL for
ICIALVIRNATING PURPOSES
The proprietor of this oil.has for .several years
felt the necessity of providing for, and presentit g
to the public, as a substitute for the dangerous corn
pounds which are sent broadcast over the country,
es an oil that is safe, brilliant, and entirely reliable.
After a long series of' laborious end costly .experi
ments, ho has succeeded in providing, and now of
fen to the public, such a sub-thine, in
" 0.4)7,80.N , S STELLAR. OIL.'
It should be used by every family because it is safe
beyond a queatior.;The primary purpose in the
preparation of STBLLAR OIL Iran been to make
it Perfectly Safe, thus insuring the lives and prop
erty of those who Ilse it. Its present standard of
SAFETY and BRILLIANCY Will always be main
tairied,.for upon this the proprietor depends for sus
taining the high reputation the STELLAR OIL
new enjoys. •
To prevent the adulteration of this oil with the
explosive compounds now know under the name of
kerosene, Alc„ &c.. it is put up for family use in
five-gallon 'cans, each can being sealed and stamped
with the trade-murk of the proprietor ; it cannot,
therefore, be tampered with between the manufac
turer and consumer. None is kipuiite witnout ibis
trademark.
It is the duty arid interest of all dealers and con
sumers of illuminating ml -to use the STELLAR
OIL only, because it done is known to be safe and
-enable. .Lt ie for wale liy,

THE FOOL AND THE HIGHWAY-
Never heard of Redwood o"Hanlon, the
Irish highway robber ?' Well, that's-surpris
ing Your Euglish Turpins and French Du•
veil; couldn't, hold a coddle to out highway
men. But for all his shrewdness he met his
march once, and I'll toll you how it was_
Redwood was e: flee, - strapping„gentle
manly looking fellow, and a devoted admirer
of the ladies—;and where is the Irishman that
is not? And what is more, a friend to the
poor; as you'll admit when I tell you that
his demands for cash were only made on per
eons who could well afford to meet them,
and that, he delighted in forcing contribu
tions from those who had the name of hard
landlords to their locums. There was one
of this class whom Redmond never lost an
opportunity of taxiog—for that was the po•
l'te name he gave to his own robberiet:—
Every quarter day, this gentleman, or uoe of
his servants—sometimes more than one—
used to take a journey of six or seven miles
to collect his tents, and as regular as clock
work there was Redmond O'llanlon, with
some stout companions if / necessary to,
waylay the collector as he returnea home
Every means was used to elude him. but to
no purpose He had spies everywhere, and
contrived to get the exact information h e
needed in advande.
Se one quarterday, when, the 'gentleman's
servants asked him about going for thetente,
he swore at O'Haolon, and said he didn't see
the use of collecting money to hand it over
to him.
Now this cattleman had on his estate a
boy 'cialledjJerry the Fool,' who had the run
of the house, and made fun. for the family
He had a groat 000eait of himself, and when
he heared what the master said he immedi
ately asked*to be allowed to go atter the rents
for once, and.deelared he would know the
way to brim them sale home Of course
he was only laughed at; but when lie reFre
iiented that no harm would come from trying
abe couldn't do worse than all who had
gone before hint, the master agreed to hu
mor him. Upon that' Jerky thane each
preparation as he thoight 'sellable, those
the worst terse in the %atilt:pr.-4W old 'back

of mone,y; 'carefully disposed it dtioat hia'per;

old 'heck; and was just entering a long lane

The Stranger lauolted *and-ihey rode on
in silence till they came to .a - very lonely
part of the road, ,when he drew
,a,broce

money he bad nbolit - him, or he'd try if he
had'any brains by sending a couple

surprise and fright. 'You don't' mean to say

But fain, it's kilt entirely by the master

them that I. had a murdering fight for it.
'Perhaps your honor wouldo'mitil — fiiiig

did so,.iaughing at the trick.
'And know another through the breast

'But I've discharged both my pistols, and

'Confound you! To be sure I haven't.—

'Well,' says Jerry, after h good deal of fum
bling.
;'I suppose, considering the trouble
I've bad in collecting these rents, your hon
or won't mind the little bother of going over
the hedge after• them ?'
And he threw over a sack apparently well
filled with coin. Half laughing, half angry,
the highwayman—first aiming at Jerry with
his whip, which he avoided by ducking—
dismciatted, and climbed . over the hedge.—
No sooner bad he, done •so than Jerry sliped

the fine mare with the spur,. he galloped off,
singing at the top of his voice the old melt).

the cute fool bad made bim discharge his

had only to ask him when he had last seen

Sister Brown's Curiosity.

certain shop doors, with a bunch of cigars in
one (land, while they invite the customer to
enter with the other. Some of them are as
hideous as they are disgusting, and we of
ten wonder why such leering, vulgar images
are used to attract customers. •
