ARE YOU A COUNTERFEITFR? /?

What use do you make, reader, of coun-
terfeit fifty-cent Postal Currency, which you
find in your pocket-boOk, and do not know
where it has come from?
Do you invariably tear it up, or burn it up
are you careful that it does not get out Of your
pocket, into circulation again?
Have you not sometimes rolled up such a
bit of fractional currency, suspecting it to be
counterfeit, and willing to ''get rid of it"-by
chance or accident, as it were-and so keep
square with your conscience?
We have seen men-men whom we would
have trusted with our pocket bOok-return a
counter felt fifty cent piece to their pockets af-
ter they were convinced that it was spurious
What does such an action mean--provided that
the man is ignorant, as is generally the case,
as to where he got the counterfeit? 1t means
that he is not ready to bear the loss of fifty
cents like an honest man. The action is dis
honest action. tie has no right to put coun-
terfeit where there is any possibility of his
passing it into circulation again. The honora-
bic proceeding is to burn it or tear it up the
very moment it's worthlessness becomes evident.
Do not hesitate a second. If you have not
this habit fixed upon you, cultivate it With
ont it you are in league with counterfeiters
You are one of the gang"-you are not al
honest man. Let this rule apply to a ten cen

to be asked. Is this counterfeit2 Yes. d.
l know who gave it to me2 No. Burn it
tear it up-dO not return it to your pocket al
you value your honesty
There is law compelling every bank to staml
the word counterfeit" in large black letters
across every spurious bill presented at its counn
ter, for whatever purpose it may be presented
under any circumstances, and upon whateve
bank in the United States it may be counter
felt. We once saw an apparently respectabl
man present twenty-dollar bill to the teller {
the Michigan Insurance Bank, in Detroit. II
merely wished to know if it was a counterfeit
a The teller made no answer, but simply brougt
g a powerful stamp upon it's face, and handed
4 back, with the word counterfeit" staring il

In THE COUNTRY.-Robbir, who has gone
to farm to spend the vacation among his re-
IatlOnS there, writes thus to his cousin Jimmy:
Dear Jimmy - Ask your mother TO bring
you up here right of. It's gay. There fish.
IN here, and plenty Of worms to catch 'em
with. You stick the hook in them, and they
wriggle bully. Fishn's funnier when you don't
catch the hook in the seat of your pantaloons,
so you cant sit down and can't fish all the way
home. | did that the other day, and Mr..
Jcnkyns, cousin Laura's bean, ask me il l
was sole or heel. Suppose he thought he
was very funny, but l didn't see it. Bime-
by, | see him cut a little piece out of
cousin Laura's hair, where her hook caught,
and kiss it, like great baby, and put it in his
pocket So | told on en- at tea, and every
body else laft They have cows here, and 20
to see them MIXED. | MIXED the other night.
1t was very hard to squeeze, and it wouldn't
go into the pail. Some Of it went into my eye,
and the rest of it up my sleeve. | don't like
turkeycocks neither. They rufilc themselves
up big and run at you. They are very phe-
rocions bird, diSagreeable to live with. You'd
better come here right off, and bring o shot
gun, for there are bears here, anyway we saw
fox, and some candy, because we can't get
any here, and pop gun, and bows and arrows
and things. Perhaps we can shoot deer.
| think Mr.. Jenkyns is fool. He made believe
find deers track the other day, aud when L
looked at it, it was nothing but the mark of
my cousin Laura's boot | don't see what
makes men so sappy about girls. We won't,
will we? I'd be ashamed I'm goin to ride
old Sam tomorrow. He's horse You ride
him bareback, and it's very hard to stick on,
he feels 50 squirmy. Give my love to all the
boys, and tell them I'm having bully time,
only hate old JenkynS. No more at present
from
Yours truly, ROBBIE"

Nor THE WFE's FAULT.-An Irishman who
had Just landed went to see his sister who was
married to Yankee. The couple lived very
happily in Chicago and when Pat came, the
gentleman took him over his place to show it
to him. Pat, at the evidence Of prosperity,
said to his brother-in-law:
"Begara, you are very happy here with this
fine property to live on me sister had good
luck intirely so she had, in gettin' you for 9
husband. "
"Ah, yes" responded the married man.
tive would be very happy but for one thing 2"
And what's that ?" asked Pat
"Ah, Pat, " returned the gentleman, ~ am
sorry to say that we have no children
mo children" exclaimed Pat; then begor.
ra its not ME sister Maggie's fault, for she had
two before she left Ireland, and that s the ray.

WHY DON'T YOU LEARN A TRADE?-This
question was pronounced in our hearing, few
days since, to man who had been for several
months unsuccesSfuly seeking employment as
clerk or salesman in some of our leading
houses. Complaining of his ill-luck, one Of his
friends, who knew he had mechanical talent.
but doubtful whether he could make himself
useful as a clerk or salesman, put the iuterro-
gatory to him which we have placed as the
caption of this article. The reply was, that
trade was not SO respectable as a mercantile
occupation. Under this delusive idea, our
stores a,e crowded with young men who havo
no capacity for business, and who, because Of
the fancied responsibility of doing nothing,
waste away their minority upon salaries which
cannot possibly liquidate their expenditures.
Late, too late in life, they discover their error,
and before they reach the age of thirty many
of them look with envy upon the thrifty me-
chanic, whom, in the days of their boyhood,
they were accustomed to deride. The false
views of responsibility which prevail in the
s0i-disant fashionable society of the present
dav have ruined thousands of young men, aud
will ruin thousands more.

THE DYING SUMMER.

Fiery Summer now is dying,
Shorter daily grows her breath;
Soon her beauty will be lying
In the cold embrace of death.
Short her reign of golden splendor;
Bret the triumph OF her power;
All her pomp she must surrender
To the sovereign of the hour.
Tyrant-like she ruled and reveled,
Needless of her subjects pain;
Tyrant-like she shall be leveled
Low into the dust again.
Days Of restfulness are dawning.
Breathing life and hope once more,
Whispering of that fairer morning
On the brighter better shore.
Still, o dying one, In sadness
Linger we thy couch around;
Tears are mingled with our Gladness-
See, they drop upon the ground!
Queen and tyrant though we found thee,
Crushing even life away,
Yet the beauties spread around thee
Almost made US love thy sway.
Perfumes of ten thousand flowers
Charmed our senses half to sleep,
Snow-white lilies, rOse-twined bowers,
Carpets green, where violets creep,
Jesamin and orange grove,
Myrtle and magnolia tree,
And DER head the cooling dove
Such thy haunts of revelry!
Fading now, so slowly, sadly,
Withered, lost, thy royal wreath,
All the wealth once used so madly,
Fails thee in the hour of death.
Ye, who led by fierce ambition,
Stake your all on earthly power,
Take a solemn admOnition
From the Summers dying-hOur.
Learn that all the power and glory
OF your loftiest, proudest dream
But a vain, an empty story,
In the hour OF death will seem
