CoUNTERFEITS AND CoUNTERFEITING.-
Within short time past, many counter
felt notes of the Branches of the United
States Bank, have been put into circula-
ton in this city. Mr.. Brown, of the The
atre, has suffered to the amount of about
fifty dollars in this way. The notes re-
ceived by him were tens and fives, letter
E., payable at Nashville, Pittsburg, Buff
falo, Savannah, &c. But two plates are
used for the notes Of the denomination of
five dollars. They are printed upon thin,
bad paper, aud a little examination would
lead to detection. In the case named,
the notes were presented at the door Of
the theatre, and cashed. On Friday night
another note of this description was. Of,
Tered to the door-keeper, who detained
the individual until Mr.. Brown could be
sent for, to arrest him. He was placed in
the hands ofthe constable; but, after under
going a search, was set at liberty, no
other counterfeits having been found up
on him.
Circumstances strengthen the belief
that there is an organized band of coun-
terfeters in this city, and the residence
of some OF them is even located at one
of the principal hotels, although the mint
is believed to he in some other quarter of
the town. Every good citizen should in
terest himself in ferreting them out. 1t
is the misfortune of our town to occupy
such position as to make it convenient
resort for gamblers, and Infamous men of
every description; and some notice should
be taken, by hotel keepers and others,
of visitors and boarders whose character
may not be above suspicion.-.Mlssouri

SPRING FLOWERS.

Read nature like tho manuscript of Heaven.
And call the flowers its poetry
love the fair and beautiful blossoms,
that are scattered so abundantIy in tho
spring season over the field, and by tho
quiet edges of the wood. or when their
sunny petals tremble TO thaps pleasant MUIR

flowers that lift up their delicate heads to

me almost as if they we're gifted with
feeling and perception Of the loveliness
of nature, and cannot carelessy pluck
them from their frail stems and throw them
aside to their early w,hering-'lis like de-
facing the pages Of a favorite book of po-
ctry, round which the spirit Of tia bard
seems lowering still in preserving watch
fitness.
Beautiful flowers they are the 'jewel-

ingly to those over whose degraded brows
the free gales seem to breathe revilngs, in
stead of peacefulness and high thoughts,
and for whose ears the gush Of melody
seems only to syllable one reproachful
name? Gladness and beauty are not for
the sympa.hies of the wretched, and far
better than tho brightness of the vernal
sunshine does the dreariness of winter har-
monize with the desolate spirit of the slave.
Oh, that the warm breathings Of univer-
sal love might drive out from the bosoms Of
men, the cold nnfeeling winter of indifcr-
ence, with which they have SO long regard
ed the sulferings of their oppressed breth-
rem that the beautiful blossoms of chris
tian compassion and holy benevolence,
springng up in their hearts, might shed
over them the fragrance of the memory OF
good deeds Then should the benedic-
ton of those that were ready to perish,
come upon them like the blessings of the
early and the latter rain,' and the grateful
tears of the forlorn one rest on them as Il
fcrtilizing dew, clothing them with happi-
moss like thick mantle ofsummer vcrdure.

THE POLITICIAN.

One of the most dangerous characters
in tho world, is man who habitually sac
riicss the eternal, immutable obligations
Of truth and justice, and the charities of
public life,at the shrine Of an abstract prin-
ciple, about which the half of mankind diff
fers from the other half. Whether :his
abstract principle is connected with reli-
gion, or politics, is of little consequence,
since after all, morals constitute the es-
sence Of religion, and social duties the
foundation of government. Whatever is
essentially necessary to the conduct of our
lives, the performance of our duties to our
families, our neighbors, and our country,is
easy of comprehension and it requires
neither argument nor metaphysics to teach
us what is right or what is wrong. These
are great fundamental principles modified
indeed by the state Of society and the hab-
its Of different nations but their nature
and obligations are every where the same.
inflexible and universal in their application.
A close examination of the history of the
world in every age, will 60 far to convince
us that vast portion of the crime, and
miseries, and expressions of mankind, have
originated in a difference, not in morals,
but in abstract ideas; not in fundamental
principles but vague indefinite distractions,
incomprehensible to the great mass, and
having not the remotest connection with
our moral and social duties...a When men
come to assume these contested principles.
{ these metaphysical refnements as indispen-
sable to the salvation Of the'soul or preser-
walton of the state, and to substitute them
in place of the everlasting pillar OF truth
and justice, they cast themselves loose
from their moorings to drlil at random . ,sn
DIMES Of every bubble, the victims Of eve-F
nv shoal and qbicksand. Instead of sail
ing by the bright star Of mariners. which
sparkles forever in the same pure sphere.
they shape their course by the flceting va
vor which is never the same; which rises
in the morning fog, ascends fantastic
cloud, and vanishes in the splendors OF the
noontide sun.
