EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS IN COUNTER
FRITING.-We mentioned the fact day
or two ago, that man named James l..
Breeze had been arrested in New York
for counterfelting. We find the following
particulars in relation TO the matter in the
New York Mirror Of Monday
Some important arrests for forgery y'wefe
made on Saturday, together with large
seizure of some $4,000 in counterfeit
ing money, plates, &c. |. seems that
from information received by officers Mi
ner and HYATT, of the 10Th ward police,
they proceeded to lhe boarding house OF
Mrs. Ritter, l27 Christie street, where a
third story back room was occupied by a
man whose name they were told was Jas.
l.. Breeze, They found the man in the
room, and having secured him, Instituted
a search, which resulted in the finding OF
some 200 Of counterfeit notes on va
rious Banks throughout the Union, and
plates for striking off SO on the Exchange
Bank of Salem, Mass, aud 81 and SO on
the Exchange Bank of Lockport, this
State. The following are the Banks on
which counterfeits are found: $40 on the
Bank of Jacksonville, Florida ; $5 on the

is native. He had, when arrested, a
gold watch valued al $50 and $50 in good

arrested Breeze he was actively engaged
in filling up and signing the counterfeit
notes. They secured the pen that he was
doing il with. He was much agilated
when captured, and came near fainting.

Mr.. Hudson came home one rainy day
.sIt's no use for woman to slave, TO have
her house looking little decent, for, as
sure as there's rainy day, her husband
will tramp over the carpets, leaving marks

"Indeed Sally. there's no mud on my

oWell, but they're wet, and ID like TO

"And you've let your umbrella dram on

THE OLD MAIDS PETITION.

Precious Heaven lend an ear,
And kindly grant my humble pray'r:
Lo here stand in due submission,
And humbly offer my petition;
vainly ask no wealth or fame
Trihes like these dare not name;
Nor splendid gold, or rich attire,
For these are not what desire
My prayer is short, oh grant it then,
IT'S but one ord,-give me a MAN
do not wish to pick or choose,
He who is sent I'll ne'er refuse.
With any common, worthy man,
I'll be content Pm sure can;
My beauty fades, my bloom decays,
Increasing wrinkles plough my face.
Once ev'ry tongue pronounced my praise,
And many were my serenades;
Suitors gay then paid their court,
But none could move my naughty heart.
Oh happy day far have You passed
Down mem'ry's stream by time o'ercast;
And justly, too, for I've neglected
Those | ought to have respected.
But forgive me, Heaven, my tears can tell
The sorrows which at heart feel;
View with partial eye my grief,
And send. MAN to my relief

Other Peoples Eyes.

Strange as it NAV sound. certain IL is,
that the regard we universally pay to 9th
er peoples eyes, put us TO more trouble
and expense than almost anything else.--
What sums of money are squandered
way, whether they can be afforded or not;
what trouble, what toll, what fuss, what
vexation, are submitted 10, for no better
reason than because our neighbors possess
the eye-power of looking at u.s. As lfoIh-
er peoples did not already tax US sufficient
ly in the way of what is called excepting
up appearances.
Many even double or treble that tax in
order TO exaggerate appear ance, and show
themselves TO the world in an expensive
masquerade, till, perhaps, they end by be-
coming really poor, merely through the
pains they take TO avoid the impuation of
being thought so or rather, through the
misplaced ambition of being considered
far wealthier than they are. The keeping
up appearances is laudable enough, but
the art Of doing so is not understood by
every one for, instead of regulating ap-
pesrances according TO scale which they
can consistently and uniformly adhere 10.
great many persons set out in life by ma
king appearances far beyond whist they can
afford, and beyond what they can keep
up" at all-at least, not without constant
effort, pain, and apprehension.
Society abounds with such tip-toe peo-
pie, as they may well enough be describ-
ed. since they assume the uneasy attitude
of walking upon tip-toes, which, though II
may do for travelling across Turkey car
pet or hearth-rug, is i'll suited for journey
ing through life, on a road which, though
rugIess, is nevertheless apt to be found
rugged. and requires to be trojden firmly
if we would keep our footing. Had Peo
pie but resolution enough 10 he not abso
lutely Indifferent to. nor cynically regard
less Of, but less soicitOus about what 9th
ers may think Of their concerns, M what
load of trouble might they a, once relieve
themselves for one-half Of the toll, TIT
anxiclies, and the fsugues of life is occa
stoned by the struggling to cut a figure il
that great al de bRuf,the eyeof the world
I-Erchanee.
