Counterfeit Dollars.-gt has been ascer-
tanned that counterfeit Spanish dollars, of
the reign Of Ferdinand VII, 1890. are in
circulation in Montreal. From several
circumstances it is believed, that they have
been innocently brought out by emigrants,
upon whom they have been put off just
previous to their embarkation from Eu-
rope-the cmigrant being willing to give
a premium for specie. If emigrants to
Canada have been served thus by sharp.
ers, may not like spurious money be
brought to the United Statesb by emigrants
direct from Europe, or by the way of Ca.
nada.

Quantities OF melons, cucumbers and gourds are
planted to serve for the principal food Of the nhabi
tants--but as the plants grow in the open country,
1t Is customary to raise little mound in the mid
die of the field, with small hut upon it, 10 furnish
shelter for the guard who is to drive away thieves
and especially monkeys, who come there in mum
bers for plumber. In case of invasion, the guard
gives signal and all the peasants in the neighbor
hood run to chase away the thieves. For two or
three months this poor Waterman ful6ls his pain

FROM THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
THE FAREWELL.

LII ANIL w GlLL1s
5tanzas addressed By the .quttor to his Wife, on
going TO sea. Written October, 1916.
Now gently blows the favoring gale
Around, no clouds portentous lower;
The tar alolt unfurls his sail,
That watts me from my native shore.
To His kind care who rules the Sc,
leave my dearest, only treasure
Farewell, my Laura, then, to thee,
And till we meet again-to pleasure!
But ah restrain the gushing tear
That trembles in that lovely eye;
Nor yield to sad lorebodng fear,
Or grief's responding secret sigh.
Sweet Hope will dart her miIdest rays
Athwart thy loneliest hours Of anguish;
The charmer points to happier days,
When Laura's heart shall cease to anguish
Yet well know that syren's smile
Deceives the breast usurped by care;
Soothes with her Establishments awhile,
Then leaves the wretch TO pale despair!
Thus may her Battery new betray,
And this may be the birth Of sorrow;
And bliss OF which we dwell to-day,
Forever flown with me tomorrow.
If fate unkind has thus dccreed,
That now we part, to meet no more,
The heart surviving long will bleed,
With wounds no time can ever cure.
For may find thy bosom chilled,
To throb no more with soft emotion
Or fame may tell thee, mine is stiled.
Beneath the exulting waves of ocean!
But let us borrow not of grief
Her streams, too deep, are never dry,
While they can reach Hopes brightest leaf,
Or flow too light from sorrows eye.
Though absence pain, no i'll but death
Souls that devoutly love can sever;
Come, thcn-this kiss shall cheer my path
Farewell - farewell--perhaps forever

THE WORLD WE HAVE NOT SEEN.

LIZ WOhLD w I1A L. MI oEEp
EXTRACTED FROM WALLIS VALE.
There is world we have not seen,
That time shall never dare destroy:
Where mortal footstep hath not been,
Nor car has caught its sounds Of Joy.
There is region lovelier far,
Than sages tell or poets sing,
Brighter than summers beauties are,
And softer than the tints of Spring.
There is world, and o how blest
Farer than prophets ever told;
And never did an angel guest
One half its blcssedness unfold.
1t is all holy and serene,
The land Of glory and repose;
And there, TO dim the radiant scene,
The tear Of sorrow never flows.
1t is not famed by summer gale,
It's not refreshed by yernal showers,
1t never needs the on-beam pale,
For there are known no evening hours.
No, for this world is ever bright,
With pure radiance all its own:
The streams Of uncreated light
Flow round i, from the eternal throne.
There, forms that mortals may not see,
Too glorious for the eye to trace,
And clad in peerless majesty,
Move with unutterable grace.
In vain the philosophic eye
May seek to view the fair abode,
Or find it in the curtained sky -
II is, THE DWELLING PLACE OF COP.

The suboined observations elected from the
Editor ofthe National Advocate, by the statement
of an insults said to have been offered in the port
of Havana, on board Spanish vessel of war; to the
American flag. There is reason in the caution
which the Advocate nculcates against hasty con-
illusions, and deep resentments, in our intercourse
and relations with foreign powers:
Taking all the particulars contained in this let
ter, it is evident hatthe fact unworthy of notice.
Young governments, DESTROYS Of establishing name
and reputation, should be ready to resent an
insult TO the extent in their power, because, with
governments, with individuals the first step marks
the future progress but the United States cannot af
ford to its time and attention every petty af
front from petty We cannot, as nation con.
tend with rats when there lions in the way, or
stop to cavil about sttaws. Suppose boor OF a
Spanish Captain, having personal ill will towards
the Americans, displays our Gag in disgracefuI
position, it should be treated with silent contempt.
lhe ability 10 chsstise is always in our power, and
national resentments should not be hastily excited.
The United States is settling down on permanent
basis, with power which is feared and respected,
and never wantonly exercised. 1t will not answer
for US to be caphous, splenetic or suspicious. We
must only notice serious aggressions, prominent ma
tional insults such as turning off the Congress frigate
from Cadiz, and admitting b itish vessels of war i;
and such notices should always be serious and efec-
tive
