Extensive ForgeryI

Persons in the street have doubtless
noticed that an attempt is being made, by
parties who became bankrupt some time
ago in consequence of the failure of Davis,
Lee i Co., TO put on the market a great
deal OF paper with the name of Andrew
johnson on the face, and bearing their own
endorsement. As that endorsement is very
well known 10 be worthless, it has seemed
very suspicious that these parties were
quite anxious to call attention 10 their own
signatures, and TO show the face of the note
as little as possible. 1t Was also suspi
cious circumstance that all this paper was
drawn 10 favor of English Il Co, firm
that has never been known 10 have any
dealings with Mr.. johnson. Owing 10
these circumstances, the parties trying to
use this paper have made very little head.

pressing it. We are therefore authorized
to state that some of it has been offered at
the stone building on Church street.
(where Mr. Johnson'S signature is well
known) and it was instantly pronounced a
forgery Mr.. johnson. we are informed

upon the face the word loyal which is
omitted in the bogus stuff. The attempted
fraud is the work Of persons who, having q
grudge against Mr.. johnson because Of the
failure alluded TO already, are trying to
ruin him by forging his name to large
amounts, and adding their own worthless
endorsement to give the thing a business
appearance. Whenever you see any Of this

nuILDrNe ON THE SAND.

'Tis well to WOO, Ills well to wed,
For so the world hath done a
Since myrtles grew, and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun,
But have ye care, ye young and fair,
BE sure you pledge with truth;
Be certain that young love will wear
Beyond tho days of youth
For if you give not heart for heart
AS well as hand for hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part,
And "built upon the sand"
'Tis well to save. Tis well to have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of shining stuff,
For charity is cold,
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live on yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things;
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have.to stand
Beside his chest and own
'Tis "built upon the sand"
'Tis good to speak In kindly guise,
And sooth where'er you can;
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man to man,
And stay not at the gentle words
Let deeds with language, dwell,
The one who pities starving birds,
Should scatter crumbs as well.
The mercy that is warm and true
Must lend helping hand,
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand"

said that the Southern Senators, and tho Sc

Senate, consti uted majority of the whole

to morrow. He would sooner trust the
Southern Senators as the friends of the
country than those who were for keeping
