BEAUrIFUL.-It cannot be that earth is
mans abiding place. 1t cannot be that our
life is cast up by the ocean Of eternity to
float npon it's waves and sink into nothing
ness Else why is it that the glorious as
pirations which leap like angels from the
temple of our hearts are forever wandering
about unsatisfed? Why is it that the rain
bow and the clouds come over with beau
ty that is not of earth, and pass off and
leave us to muse en- their faded love.int s.?
Why is it that the stars who hold festival
around the midnight throne are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties, forever
hooking us with their unapproachablc gio
ry? And, finally why is it that the bright
forms Of human beauty are presented to our
view and then taken from us, leaving the
thousand streams of our affections to flow
back in Alpine torrents? We are born for
a higher destiny than that of earth. There
is a realm where rainbows never fado, where
the stars will be out before us like islets
that slumber on the ocean, and where the
beings that pass before us like shadows will
stay in our possession forever

fee of Kenmedys Bank Note Deteetor, dated
Feb. I, giving description Of new and
dangerous counterfeit, that has just made
its appearance. The following is the de-
scription. 1t is an imitation of the genuine
fves of the Farmers Bank of Kentucky"
IS, counterfeit, letter A, vignette, two
drovers horseback driving cattle and hogs
Ia railroad bridge aud train crossing it
in the distance-N- the pipes of the steam
boat as well as the village and the windows
of the houses are scarcely visible--in the
genuine they are. On the left end por-
trait Of Crittenden, and a portrait of Mrs.
Crittenden on the right end. A bee hive
between the signatures. D0rThe line on
which the name Of the cashier is written, is
longer on the genuine note, and extends
close up to the top of the T in Toppan, one
of the engravers names) In the counter
felt this line is about the thickness of pin
head from the II. The last T in the word

tinual stream. e... ....
Lately there arrived in New York poor
en.igrant Scotch family, nearly every men,
ber of which was sick Some philanthropic
gentlemen went to ladies of their acquaint-
ance, endeayoring to enlist their sympathies
in behalf of the females of the family Not
Succeeding as they could wish, they hit upon
q very clever rnse to effect the object i'll
view They caused paragraph to appear
in the morning papers, stating that an un-
fortunate and reduced nobleman Lord GLE
Marty, and his family had arrived in very
destitute circumstances in the city, and sug-
costing that a little material aid" would
be more acceptable than mere words Of SYM
patty. The bait took, and liberal offerings
poured in from every quarter, and before
the trick was found out, the family were
comfortably, if not luxuriously, provided for
so the world goes. The idea Of a noble
man Being in want was not to be endured
for single moment, while the honest me-
,hanic, being made of less sensitive material,
would have remained neglected, till dooms-
day. This is the case,we are happy to say,
with but a portion OF American Society,
who try their utmost to ape the airs Of a
foreign aristocracy. There are many, very
many, in cur land, whose hearts
"Are open day to deeds Of melting charity"
and who regard an honest man, whether ii
tied or moi, ." as the noblest work of God y

They are after you, young gentlemen. -
Next Independence day, may end your III
dependence. July 4, 1855, may be the
last 4th of July Of single blessedness and
freedom of female control, that you will
ever see. Look out
A female person down in New-Hampshire
has been through preparatory training in
the strong-ninded school of grief that she
had not been born boy~baby instead of
a girlbaby. Caroline S. Freeman hight is
she. Her sorrow has at last, under strong
minded influence, taken desperate shape. -
She proclainls her grievances, and her re-
solves Says Caroline among woman's
disqual.fcations are the inability to seek as
we'll as accept a husband to openly assert
her heartfelt preference and yearning after
the man Of her choice, and give, as well as
receive, free and open declaration Of love, F"
and then declares Caroline, (listen, you
uncaged:)
Against these exclusive privileges Oh
the part of the other sex, I,with thousand
others Of my own sex in this city, earnestly
protest. And l am authorized in their
name, and in their behalf, to declare that,
on and after the 4th of July, A. D. 1888,
we proclaim and publish to the world our
independence from all such cruel and un-
christian restriction. And this is to give
timely notice to all single gentlemen,
(widowers excluded) of Industrious and
temperate habits, in this city, that they
must improve the few remaining months to
the best advantage for, after the incoming
of the immortal fourth, we, the working
sisterhood of Manchester, will show what
woman can do in this great, heretofore re-
stricted commerce of love- by gallanting
around modest youth, making declarations,
and popping questions.
Yours, in behalf Of equal rights,
CAROLINE S. FREEMAN.

4 French paper states that Lord Brougham had
placed the following inscription over his door at
Cannes
"Inveni portum spes ct fortuna, valete,
Salts me lusistie; ludite Hunc altos"
That is: {" have reached my heaven; hope and
fortune, farewell, you have spored with enough;
now find another dupe," Lord Brougham's French
neighbors consrue this as an announcement of his in
tenton to retire from public life, and pass the re-
meinder Of his days among them in the genial eli
mate OF Var. However that may be, the adoption Of
such motto at the end Of the career Of such bril-
liant statesman is very instructive fact. He stands
forth like Solomon at the end Of life, writing "vanity

be led up dark stairway, into q dark

person, whom the darkness conceals, never
to reveal anything that he may hear Or see
during the meeting. After taking this
oath, light suddenly Eliminates the room,
and five men in masks approach the candi-
date, holding in their hands the American
dag, made out Of twelve hundred yards Of
American silk, which they roll around the
candidate, completely encasing him, after
the fashion of an Egyptian mummy. The
five then shoulder the candidate and carry
him into the Lodge Though he cannot
see, he can hear, and the Great Grand
Flum-the highest Observation-Disclosures a
terrible oath, swearing the candidate rever
to reveal any of the passwords, signs, to-
kens, grips, principles, designs or private
work of the Order, on penalty of being sent
to the Penitentiary or to the Ohio Legisla-
ture! Ii the case is not too aggravated the
violation would only be visited upon the Vi
olator by sending him to the Penitentiary,
but the EXTREMIST penalty for violation is
the Legislature.
"After taking this oath the candidate is
rolled around the room, this being the
speediest way of unwinding the flag. He
sees the members standing around him all
in masks. The five principles are then read
to him, and after he has sworn to observe
them, he is compelled to run splinter
