THE DUTCHMAN AND HIS THOUSAND
DOLLAR RIII,

Away back in the state of N. York lives a Dutcl
farmer, well to do in the world, who always keep
by him thousand dollar bill. With this bill in hi
pocket, and shabby coat on his back, he pride
himself on playing tricks with strangers-particu
larry such country merchants as have recently com
menced business in the neighborhood and are no
acquainted with his pecuniary circumstances.
As an instance of this kind, he went lately to
new merchant, with his clothes all in rags, his toe
sticking out through his shoes, his hat without
crown, and his beard fortnight old and ordered
few dollars worth Of goods. The merchant stare,
at him ; but there could be no great hazard il
laying out the articles for him, none of which wer
to be cut, he executed the command. When tn
goods were ready, the merchant stared still more t
hear his scurvy looking customer ask him to charg
them.
Charge them = exclaimed the man of merchan
dize-' ha, ha ha,! we're not in the habit of charg
ing goods to every body. We keep a shar
look out for breakers.
Won't you charge EN-, den 2
Not to you thank you. You must have a bet
ter coat on your back to expect credit from us,
Den if you won't charge en-, said the Dutch
man with great moderation, must dry and ba,
you for EN- down, if so be, supposin' | can't mus

lar bill from his pocket he extended it to the mer
chant, with sly eer on his face, and said, Wi

That-what "a thousand dollar bill Is
possible that-that q man Of your appearance

Trust you Mr.. Van Volger--that will, to ,h
amount of a thousand dollars, if you wish. fo'

THE STRANGERS HEART.
icy MRS. HEMANs

[BY MRS. HEMANs
The strangers heart oh, wound it not
A yearning anguish is its lot;
In the green shadow Of thy tree
The stranger finds no rest with thee.
Thou think'st the vines low rusiling leaves,
Glad music round thy household caves:
To him that sound hath sorrows tone
The strangers heart is with his own.
Thou think'st that children's laughing play
A lovely eight at fall Of day;
Then are the strangers thoughts opprest-
His mothers voice comes FER his breast.
Thou think'st il sweet when friend to friend
Beneath one roof in prayer may blend
Then doth the strangers eye grow dim
Far, Ear are those who prayed with him.
Thy hearth, thy home, thy vintage land
The voices OF thy kindred hand;
Oh, midst them all when blest thou art,
Deal gently with the strangers heart.

a vile mourns over the alienaled anec-

no effort herself to strengthen and i'll

cause he once loved her, he ought al
ways to love her, and she neglcc,s those
attentions which first engaged ~ heart.
Many wife Is thus the cause of her
own neglect and sorrow. That woman
deserves not the husbands generous
love, who will not greet him with smiles,

who will not try to chain him to his home

'Tis lone on the waters.
When ewes mournful bell,
Sends forth to The sunset
A note Of farewell
When, horne with the shadows
And winds as they sweep,
There comes fond memory
OF Home o'er the deep
When the wing OF the sea-bird
Il turned TO her nest.
And the heart Of the sailor
To all he loves best
IT'S lone on the waters
That hour hath a spell
To bring back sweet voices,
And words Of farewell

COLD COINS, AND RAG NoTEs-Will the Globe
explain to US how il is that SO much difficulty
found in putting the gold coins into circulation
and keeping them there, and yet that the rag nOly
of the Corporations ofAlexandra and George,
town, should so readily make their way into
common use7-Teiegrdph.
Permit me to answer one branch Of the above
question. The Corporation of Alexandra has
aluays (not occasionally, and by fits and starts)
redeemed their "rag notes" in specie or its
equivalent; and we, in Alexandria, have no.
ton, that it is rather more convenient If not
better, to have five or ten Of these rag notes in
ones wallet, than such weight in our purse as
that amount Of specie. Whilst on this subject
must express my regret, that among other Of
the blessings flowing from the "paternal guar.
dianship" of Congress, and the traternaf asso-
Citations Of this District Alexandria appears
doomed never to receive any credit, let her
since paid up every cent of our subscription 10

money;-ue (as the agent of Messrs. Cromme.
lin & Sons can and has testifed) have never

Of interest;-our creditors have received their
demands of interest, and all else that can be
brought against us, promptly in the best offunds;
ice have never asked Congress for the means
to pay the interest on our debt:-and get, rhdt
hare zoe gdined?-not even the poor consolation
Of knowing that our integrity and punctuality
are appreciated by the only public body who
has any control or care over US. Our efforts to
sustain the credit of our due bills have ended,
after a long struggle-when We should have
reaped the fruits, In law by Congress, compel
ling us to withdraw one-fifth Of the circulation
annually till the whole is retired. And when We
ask pecuniary aid, not TO pay our debts, but to
repair an injury inflicted (unintentionally, we
grant,) by Congress, We are told, by member
of that honorable body, Tin substance) that it is
of no national importance whether Alexandra
thrives and prospers, or sinks into ruin and de-
cay. CoRPoRAroa.
