Changing a Five Hundred Dollar Bill.

We recollect an incident which occurred
few years since, which illustrates the folly
Of trusting to appearances, and which will
be remembered by many who are vii ac-
quanted with one of the parties. wealthy
cattle broker of Framingham Mass.
1t chanced that the broker-who is uni
versaily known by the cognomen of Uncle
Vanus-was sitting in the hotel Office in
Framingham with friend, playing game
of checkers, when a fashionably dressed
young man stepped up to the bar, called for
cigar, and, having lighted it, said, with au
air of arrogance to the bar-keeper:
"You will have to trust me for this cigar,
as | have no change; unless" he added,
somewhat bombasticaly," some of you here
can change five hundred dollar bill"
"Well," said Uncle 'Vanus, slowly look.
ing up from his checker board, perhaps
| can change bill for the yonng man il
he wants to pay for his cigar"
Youw said the young man, somewhat
sneerugly as he glanced at the plainly
dressed Id mau aud then, with a wink tC
the by-standers, to call attention to tbs
capital joke he was about to perpetrate, he
continued "You will change me couple
of them, /" said he, slapping down two note,
of i've hundred each upon the table with
considerable emphasis.
Don't joggle the checker-board," said
Uncle 'Vanus slowly, as he replaced three
or four pieces that had been jostled from
their squares by the young mans emphatic
action; then drawing huge roll from the
pocket of his well-worn pantaloons, be care
fully counted out, in notes of all sizes, colors
and denominations the required amount
handed them over to the young man, anC
pocked the two clean Boston bank note;
of five hundred dollars each that lay befor,

more of them changed"
The young man with an air of bravado,
thinking he had stumbled on some droveT
who happened to have only one thousand
dollars 10 bis pocket, crammed the heap ol
bills the old gentleman passed to him into
one pocket, and drew forth two other five
hundred dollar notes from another, with Q
glance of triumph to the bystanders, who
began TO gather around, and, banging then
down upon the table, said

bragadoca, and he felt it in the halfsnp
pressed laughter that was elected from the
lockers on. A bold conp was necessary tc
regain the ground he had lost, and he al
once decided upon it, 'Pre-haps, my old
cock, you think that's all the money I've
got, and preihaps you may have the rags
about you for these two beauties,' said he,
as he fiirted two one thousand dollar notes
out upon the table before the old man.
Pretty well crowned, my bantam, said
the latter, as he keenly scrutinzed the notes.
'Ef you Keep on through life as you pear
to have begun it, pre-haps you may have
the rags about you that you won't get red
of so easily Then, plnnging his hand in
to capacions pocket somewhere under bis
left arm, be drew forth huge, plethoric
calf-skin wallet ir which he deposited the
two one thousand dollar notes. and from
which he handed the amount in others of
smaller denominations, saying as be did so
EFF yon would like few more changed.

The young gentleman evidently felt that
the game 1ooS waiting, and it began to be

hastily gathered up the money and prepar.
ed to leave, when he was stopped by uncle
'Vanus, who said
,,Ef you have got small bills enough, my
friend pre-haps you had better pay for that
cigar. Any broker in Boston will give yon
Bills for the pile you've got in your pockets
for fair commission; and" he continued
with grin, "you had better step into the
city and take up the note you were sent to
pay, instead ofswappiug your money round
here among cattle drovers."
The young man threw down dollar on
the counter and vanished amid shout Of
laughter from those who bad witnessed this
scene, while uncle 'Vanus quietly settled
himself in his seat, and went on with the
interrupted game Of" checkers"

Love but Thee.

Though other lips may speak,
In language that might well beguile
The heart, ar tinge the cheek
Though other hearts may be as light
AS thine, yet still to me
No other smile can be so bright

Though other cheeks may shame as well
The roses blushing hue
Though other golden tresses tell
or youth aud beauty, too
though other forms may he as fair
As thine, dear girl. to me,
Yet still with none my heart can share,
The love give TO thee.
Yes, thine alone-for oh 'lwere bliss
with thee TO spend my days:
Without thee 'twere a wilderness,
Ohscured by darks1me rays
But still within my aching heart
One sunny spot would be-
A gem from which could not part
The love give to thee.
Then oh together let us rove

And in some sweet aud shady grove,
FestoOued with widest flowers,
There LEI us range'in Natures home,
With Heavens blue vault above,
Aud tell sweet tales Of joys to come,
And feast on fondest love.

several dances which he lately witnessed at
ball in Washington He says:
"The waut of variety in this metropoli-
tan dancing was, however. fully made up
by the fancy things, such as the waltz, aud
polka. These we're absolutely barbarous.
The old-fashioned waltz, the morality of
which even Byron called in question, is here
ignored as altogether too cold and distant.

WHO would be free,
Themselves must strike the blow

and only assert their independence, but
vindcate their claim to equality, not with
chalk, powder and balls, or blood,rouge
stained cheeks, but by actual attainments
and victories over selfdegeneracy. At the
bottom of all superiority is physical vigor.
An inferior mind backed by robust health,
can accomplish all that it undertakes, but
tortured by disease and restrained by de.

Wholesale Clothing House.

FKVEJNs YEARS ~4GO, TIE RAOAG
Z Clothing trade of the West was comparatively
of small amount, and confined almost eXcIu-
sively to retail business in the larger towns and
cities alone. Now this line of Goods has become
almost indispensable part of the stock OF every
general Dry Goods store from the crowded city TO
the cross-road stand. Like all changes in trade,
however, this one has not been produced except for
the best of reasons. Among these are the great
saving of material by cutting large quantity OF
garments together--the superior work and speed OF
sewing machines in manufacturing-the great saw
ing of time in waiting for your 'turn" at the Tai
lor's-the uncertainty of even then getting salts
factory ssft and above all the saving OF at least
one-hGLf the cost of the garment in the price For
6 number of years this has only been part OF our
general Dry Goods business, but we have made
Arrangements to devote our whole house exclu-
siyely to it alone with such lines of Notions and

the trade asill be to sustain ia this enterprise,
we would respectfully announce that We now have
hand one of the largest and most desirable
stocks of WELL MADE CLOTHING that was
ever offered to, the trade of the West.

OR BILIOUS HEADACHE, AND BILIOUS FEvERs,
INDEED Fer THE WHOLE CLASS OF DISEASES
ORIGINATING IN BILLIARY DERANGEAEET, CAUSED
BY THE MALARIA OF MIAsMATIC COUNTRIES
No one remedy is louder called for by the neces-
stiles OF the American people than sure and cafe
cure for Fever and Ague. such a remedy we are
now enabled to offer, with perfect certainty that
it will eradicate the disease, aud with assurance,
founded on proof, that no harm can arise from its
in any quantity.
That which protects from or prevents this disor-
der must be OF immense service i'll the communi-
ties whore it prevails. Prevention is better than
cure for the patient escapes the risk which he must
run in violent attacks of this baReful distemper.
This q Cure " eXpels the miasmatic poison OF Fever
and Ague from the system, and prevents the deVel-
~opInent of the disease, if taken the first APP
Proach Of its pre,.4~ nitory symptoms. 1t is not
only the best reniny ever yet discovered Tor ms
class of complaints, but also the cheapest The
large quantity supply for dollar brings it with
the reach of everybody and in bilious districts
where Fever and Ague prevails, everybody should
have it and it freely, both for and protec
ton. 1t is hoped that this price Will place it within
the reach of all-the poor as we'll as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy any other
discovered for the speedy and certain of Inter
mittents is, that it contains no Quinine mineral,
consequently 1t produces no quinlsm or ether in
iurious effects whatever upon the constl iuton.--
Those cured by il left healthy if they had

Fever and ague is not alone the consequence of

dsrs arise from its irritation, among which
mes, Toothache Earaehe, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpi-

Pain in the Bowels, Cholic Paralysis, aud Derange-
ntnt of the stomach, all of which when original
ing in this cause put the intermittent type, OF
become periodical. The 90 Cure " expels the poison
from the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is invaluable protection to inimi-
grants and persons travelling temporarily resid-
inr in the mah4rious districts If taken OCCASION
ally daily while exposed to the infection, that
will be exereted from the system and cannot accu-

Hence it is even valuable for protection than
