Counterfeit Money!. -Elizaneth MillerJ
of No. 1871, Mott street, having attempt
ed to pass counterfeit five dollar note
on the Broome County Bank, III the pur-
chase of some medicine on Sunday even-
ing at drug store in Grand street, was
given in charge of the watch, and yes
terday brought before the police magis-
trates, by whom she was committed, to
answer for the offence at the sessions
A similar note had been passed at the
same store in the course Of the day, by
young lady, who was unknown to the
proprietor, but whose person he snfh-
GENTLY remembered to give descrip-
ton Of her to the Magi
A charge having been lodged in the
police Office in February last, aginst Mrs.
Miller, Of stealing a small trunk from
house in Mulberry street, containing Ss5
in money, with jewelry and other artl-
cles, amounting in value to Si7o, search
warrant was procured, but with DO erect
as none Of the articles missing were ell
Their found, or could be satisfactorily ira
ced to her possession. Yesterday; upon
her commitment for passing the coun-
terfeit note, as above stated; Merritt and
Sparks proceeded to her residence, tor
the purpose of ascertaining whether she
had any other counterfeit money III her
possession. In the course Of their search
they found the stolen money, which was
brought to the office and Identified by
the owner; consequently an additional
complaint was made against her Tor
grand larceny, upon which she was also
committed for trial.
Mrs. MlIIers daughter, who was at
home when the officers arrived, answer
ed in their Judgment, so nearly the de-
scription of the young lady who passed
the bill in the forenoon, that they were
induced to take her also to the police
office. Upon the proprietor oil the store
being sent for, she was instantly identi-
4 fed. and an affidavit made that she was
the same person, upon which she was
also committed. The mother has thus
involved her daughter in one charge,
and herself in two, and all of them OF a
nature to send them, if found guilty, to
an Imprisonment in the State prison.

INTEREST,",

What magic in this subtle chain!
throw it around the proudest and you link
him to your heat. How it dazzles the
eye! How it warps the mind! How
fair it makes delormity! How instinc-
lively it wells all that is unseemly How
soon do that mans fortunes quit him, and
his success depart from him, Of whom it
is said, ay, whispered, Gle acts against
his INTEREST,"" The lightnings Of Heaven
could not blast sooner, than such an in
snuation! Discover anothcr's interest,
and you promote your own. Interest
leads the world, and is led by it, Ex-
pect to gain no point, and no advantages
in this world, unless you can first per-
suade others, it is for their interest you
should, and thus they are to share the ad-
vantages. The miser would be spurned
from your threshold, when he obtrudes
himself, the personiication of filth and
famine, upon your notice, but that inter-
est holds out the lure oflegacies, and his
own offspring would spurn him from their
affections, but for the interest they feel
for future inheritance. But interest
assumes not single form; it is Pro-
teus Of thousand shapes, we can win
its end in ALL To Wealth it must
''Speak in bondsman's hated key,''
to Love, it must wear the blush and
smile Of youth and hope; to Power, it
must crouch a fawning sycophant; and to
Ambition it must be
A slave! that takes his humors for warrant
To break within the bloody house Of life;
And on the winking Of authority,
To understand law!

THE RELIGION OF THE FAMILY.

What is more pleasing than the spec
tacle of a family, where all move in the
harmony Of religious sentiments: where
the children are taught to love and re-
spect the parents-reverence God-the
house Of worship-to cherish affection to
one another, and to regard the tender
dictates of consciencc' How pleasing
the family circle, when they gather a
round the family altar, morning & even
ing for prayer when the sabbath morn
ing dawns, and the sweet incense and
accents of meditation and devotion per-
wade the habitation. never shall for
get the impression made on my mind,
when calling one evening at the house
of 4 gentleman, and pious friend; after
little conversation had passed, the time
had arrived for the children to retire to
bed; in gentle and affectionate tone,
he called the youngest sweet little
daughter 5 years old, who came, kneel-
ed down by him, with his hand on her
neck, she repeated the Lords Prayer,
reached up and gave him an alectionate
kiss, saying "good night"
DO we not see in all families what con-
stitutes the texture Of their organization;
the absence or prevalence ofvirtuous SEN
sibiIity-right parental disciplne-a ten
der, reciprocal regard for each others
convenience and happiness' Look at
family where, on every little occasion of
vexation ordinations and scoldng break
forth-where the wife is vocilerous-
where the husband is ready TO blame, s.
this dscordant jar falling upon the chill
dren and moulding their character. In
the reverse of this picture, look at the
family where order, principle, truth, mu-
tual kindness, and sensible intercourse
prevail. Look, finally at the charming
order ofa Christian family, where prayer
is sacred, where Christian sensibiity is
awakened, love is cherished, and heav-
en- is pointed to, and kept constantly in
view as the eternal and delightful resi-
dence and home,
Where friendship wakes
To part no more.
Think Of the brittle ties, ,parents,b by which
you are knit together with your families;
think OF the sorrows Of life and of death,
which nothing but religion can sweeten.
Your children will soon be called from
you by death, or you from them and from
their fond embrace. Your darling child
will soon die! Arc you preparing to
meet those whom you love in Heaven?

rapid increase Of newspapers within the

which is a larger number than is printed
