$35O, coo in Counterfeit Notes about to
be Put in Circulation.

Yesterday morning man whose resi-
dence is not a thousand miles from New
York, entered Marshal Tookcr's Office
and presented to that functionary letter
which he had received from a firm in this
city, announcing that they have S3oo,oo0
of counterfeit United States notes on
hand, Of the denominations OF 81, -.
and $40, printed on first-class paper, and
so well executed rs to defy the scrutiny
OF the most Argus -cyed expert These
notes, they inform him, are made up IN
packages Of $500 each, and will be dis
posed of to select few OF such Westein
wide swakes as may choose to RISK ssms
of Uncle Sans grecnbacks in their pur-
chase, ut the following rates $500 for
$40, 1900 for S35, and $1,000 for ss0.
The advantages surely to arise from THIS
investment are duly set forth. and the re-
ce;vcr OF the letter IL strongly urged nof
to let slip 30 fclicitous IN opportunity
for becoming millionaire Lest, how.
ever, this coulsur de rose view should iaif
to inspire the person addressed with nee
essary confidence, they offer TO send him
BIZ post or express one 5000 package to
begin with. If he will only remit them
S5 Of the price in advance, the remaining
slj to be paid in so many days, should
all go we'll In conclusion, they cautien
him to keep close il he means to venture.
but expect that he will not betray them
even should he deem il more prudent to
decline. On receiving these glad tidngs
the lucky man fastened to New York to
seek an interview with the counterfeitcrs,
and to have ocular evidence that the boz
gus grccnbacks werc fully up to the de-
scription; but when he inquired at tho
number of the street named for the nenf-
bers of the firm in question, he was great
" chagrined at discovering that no such
individuals could there be found, and in
the bitterness of his disappointment our
would be Spectator sped away to ina
tribunal Of justice, and placed the whoia
matter in the hands of the authorities,
who will doubtless hunt mp the gentle
men if their domicile is within the jnris-
dicton of our metropolitan detectives

ing after each other, both Of us signing
like barrel of new cider when away
from each other,
Twas at the close Of q glorious sum
mer day. the sun was setting behind 4
distant hen-roost, the bull-frogs were
Just commencing their evening songs
and pollywogs, in their native mud holes
were preparing themselves for the shades
Of night, and Sal and myself sat upon an
antiquated back log, listening to the fnt''
sic Of nature, such as tree toads, roos'
ters and grunting pigs; and now ana
then the music of a jsckass was waited
to our ears by the gentle zepifyrs That
sighed among the mullen stalks, and
heavily laden with the delicious odors OF
hen-roosts and pig styes The last I'm
gcring rays of the setting sun, giancing
from the buttons of a solitary horseman,
shone from n knot hole in hog-pen,
full in Sails face, dying her hair an or
ance peel hue, and showing of my
threadbarc coat TO bad advantage; one
of my arms was around Sails waist, my
hand resting on the small Of her back ;
she toying with my auburn locks OF jet
hue; she was almost gone, and was al
most ditto She looked like q grass
hopper dying with tho hiccups, and j
felt like mud.turtle choked with cod
fish ball.
"Sal," says I, in voice as musical as
the notes of dying swan, "wlll you
have me-"
She raised her eyes heavenward, and
clasped me by the hand, had an attack OF
the heavcs and blind staggers, and with
sigh that lrew her shoe strings TO her
palate, said, 4" Yes"
She gave clear out then, and squatted
in my lap. l hugged her till broke my
suspenders, and her breath smet OF on
ions she had eaten two weeks before.
Well, to make long story short, she
set the day, and we practiced for four
weeks every night how we would enter
the room to be married, till we got so
we could walk as gracefully as q couple
Of Muscovcy ducks, The night, the
company and the minister came, the sig
nal was given, and arm in arm we went
through the hall We was just entering
the parlor door, when down | went ker-
slap on the oilcloth, pulling Sal attei
me. Some cussed fellow had dropped Q
banana skin on the floor and it 1oored
me. 1t split an awful hole in my cassl
meres, right under my dress coat tail II
was too late to back out, so clapping my
hand over it, we marched in and were
spliced, and taking scat | watched the
kissing the bride operation. My grooms
man was tight, and he kissed her till
jumped up to take slice, when, oh, hor
ror little six year imp had crawlee
behind me and pulled my shirt througl
the hole in my pants, and pinned it tt
the chair, SO that when | jumped up
displayed to the astonished multitude
tridc more white muslin than was pleas
ant. The women giggled, the men roar
ed, and ] got mad, but was finally put tt
bed, and there my troubles ended. Goo'

TIE MIDNIGHT SUN.-The following
is description Of the scene written by
Mr.. Campbell and his party in Norway,
as they stood on cliff 200 feet above
the sea. The passage is unsurpassed in
graphic beauty:
"The ocean stretched away in silent
vastness at our feet; the sound OF its
waves scarcely reached our airy lockout.
Away in the North the huge old sun
swung low along the horizon like the
slow beat OF the pendulum in the tall
clock in our grandfathers parlor corner
We all steod silent looking at our watch
es. when both hands came together at
12, midnight, the full round orb hung
triumphantly above the wave-=a bridge
Of gold running due North spanned the
water between us and him. There he
shonc In silent majesty which knew no
setting. We involuntarily took off our
hats no word was said. Combine, il
YOU can, the most brilliant sunset and
sunrise You ever saw, and its beauties
will pale before the gorgeous colorng
which now lit up the ocean, heaven and
mountain, In half an hour the sun had
swung up psrceptibly on its beat, the col
ors changed to those Of morning, fresh
breeze ripplcd over the food, one song
after another pipcd up in the grove be
hind us--wo had slid into another day.

PROPERTIES OF CELERY Il have known
many men, and women, too, who, from
various causes, have become so affected
with nervousness that when they stretch
cd out their hands they shook like aspen
leaves on windy day, and by daily
moderate use Of the blanchsd footstalks
Of celery leaves, as salad, they become
as strong and steady in limbs as other
people.
| have known others so very nervous
that the least annoyance put them in
state Of agitation, and they were in al
most constant perplexity and fear, who
were also enectually cured bya moderate
use Of Of celery, as n salad at mcal times
| have known Others cured by using cell
cry for palpitation ofthe heart Every
body engaged in labor weakening to the
nerves, should use celery daily, in sea
son, and onions in its stead when not in
season.
